Chapter 261
Departure, Encounter with a Bizarre Village! “You’ve worked hard, go take a rest for now.”
However, upon hearing Cao Xing tell her to rest, Xia Yanni’s face showed a hint of unease, her legs tensed up, appearing somewhat uneasy.
Cao Xing knew this fragile woman lacked a sense of security.
After pondering for a moment, he continued, “If you don’t want to rest, you can follow Eliza and the others to fight those Ice Nest Monsters and get used to the pace of battle.”
Hearing this, Xia Yanni lifted her head, the unease on her face gradually dispersing.
Although she was somewhat afraid to go out and fight, Xia Yanni knew she needed to adapt.
Xia Yanni nodded slightly, “Um… alright, my lord…”
Behind her, Tong Chuchu appeared eager to try.
“Great, Chuchu can fight too!”
“Watch Chuchu summon a robot, blow all these Ice Nest Monsters away!”
Cao Xing smiled.
Everything was ready.
He then ordered directly, “Now, depart with me!”
Thud! Thud, thud!
Da Bai began to walk towards the outside of the territory with his elephantine steps.
Andrew and his group followed behind.
And as Cao Xing and the others reached the territory gate,
they saw a woman over two meters tall, carrying a giant axe, already waiting there.
Putana said, “I heard you’re going out to battle.”
“As we discussed yesterday, take me with you.”
As a Second Order Elite Level Creature, this half-giant woman was quite powerful.
Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then nodded.
“Alright, you can join us.”
“Muxue, Yilena, Yanni, and Chuchu, enhance her status.”
Upon hearing Cao Xing’s order, the four women approached and spent about three minutes enhancing Putana’s status.
Her power increased to a terrifying level.
Feeling the power within her, Putana, like the others, showed respect towards Cao Xing, and her Loyalty increased to 78 points.
Cao Xing nodded.
With her joining,
Cao Xing’s team had increased to ten members.
And not one was below level 15, except for Putana; all were at least Boss Level creatures, terrifyingly strong!
“Moo—”
Da Bai swung his trunk, starting to carry Cao Xing and Liu Muxue into a wild sprint.
Thud! Thud, thud!
The heavy footsteps gradually faded away.
The rest followed behind.
Soon, they had sprinted over twenty kilometers.
And on the road, Cao Xing sent a message to Qiu Yating.
“I’ve set off. How far is your territory from that forest?”
A moment later, Qiu Yating replied, “Cao Xing, we’re quite close to that forest; if we rush over now, it’ll take about an hour to get there.”
Cao Xing replied, “Then you can set off now; we should also reach Witch Forest in about an hour.”
Not anticipating Cao Xing’s fast action, the other side was a bit stunned.
A moment later, Qiu Yating sent a message.
“Alright… okay…”
Both sides ended the communication.
Cao Xing took the team forward swiftly.
The surrounding scenery flew by at high speed.
They crossed Light River and passed by Snow Wolf Valley.
Soon, they arrived at a region they had never been to before.
Checking the map, they were about thirty kilometers from Witch Forest.
In the distance, Cao Xing saw a village.
The scale of this village was decent, with hundreds of scattered houses, an estimated permanent population of over a thousand.
At the village entrance were a few Watchtowers, each with two archers holding bows.
The defensive power was not weak.
He turned his head to ask Renice, “Renice, is this the village you investigated yesterday?”
Renice shook her head, “No, the village I found is in another direction.”
Cao Xing nodded.
Then, looking at the watchtowers on both sides of the village, he thought to himself, “The archers in this village are quite many, should we obtain a batch of arrows or other supplies?”
After all, Harold was currently making equipment, with no time to forge a large number of arrows, and arrow crafting required basic resources like iron. Using crowns to save some resources would be good.
Just as Cao Xing prepared to approach,
suddenly, a completely naked human covered with various terrifying scars rushed out of the village.
Behind him were seven or eight militia members.
As he ran, he exclaimed, “Quickly… run!”
“Quickly go to Dorun Lake City and tell the soldiers that Amu River Village has been taken over by the Light Church… this is a trap!”
At this moment, even the militia on the watchtowers showed horrible expressions.
“Damn it! How did this guy escape?”
“What were Kano and his men doing?”
“Quickly, don’t let this guy get away.”
Saying this, the archers drew their bowstrings.
At the same time, a large number of militia rushed out of the village, their eyes filled with urgency and murder, furiously chasing the naked human.
Cao Xing also heard his cries for help.
Just as he was about to order rescuing this human,
suddenly, the sound of splitting air came.
Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!
[-733]
[-654]
[-831]
Arrows struck the man’s battered body, piercing through him, killing him on the spot.
On the snowy ground by the village entrance, the man fell, blood spilling out and staining the white snow red.
Cao Xing frowned, “Let’s go, move in.”
As he prepared to have his team approach the body,
at that moment, the militia charging out of the village shouted, “What do you think you’re doing? Stop there!”
