Chapter 273
Entering the Witch Forest “Okay, I got it, Lieutenant Delank,” Cao Xing replied.
Delank solemnly said, “Once again, thank you, Lord Cao Xing. We need to hurry back to Eternal Frost City immediately to report this to the captain!”
Cao Xing reminded him,
“Lieutenant Delank, before heading to Eternal Frost City, I suggest you make a stop at Dorun Lake City first.”
The lieutenant’s eyes showed a look of confusion, “Dorun Lake City?”
“It’s more or less on the way to Eternal Frost City. Is there a problem?”
Cao Xing replied, “According to the information I received earlier, that group of Hunters plans to hold a blood sacrifice ritual soon; they intend to sacrifice all the living beings in Dorun Lake City.”
“I suspect this is related to the Bright Church’s plan you mentioned.”
Upon hearing this news, the lieutenant also realized the severity of the situation.
“So that’s what their ritual is about, these Hunters!”
He nodded seriously, “I understand, Lord Cao Xing. I will head to Dorun Lake City as fast as I can and report this to their City Lord!”
Then, Lieutenant Delank quickly led his team and vanished into the snow.
Cao Xing nodded. The message had been delivered; what happened next was beyond his control.
After all, whether it was Dorun Lake City or Eternal Frost City, both were too far for him.
Then, Cao Xing glanced at the pile of corpses and ordered,
“Andrew, cast a Moonfire Skill and burn this pile of bodies.”
The Druid nodded.
He then transformed into the Owl Beast Form, and a ball of fire crashed down.
Sizzle!
In no time, a raging flame rose up, accompanied by thick black smoke, soaring into the sky.
…
“Let’s go, keep moving.”
After seeing the Hunters’ bodies all set aflame,
Cao Xing led the team swiftly away from the village.
Then, based on the coordinates sent by Qiu Yating, they moved forward.
On the way, Cao Xing pondered to himself, “This group of Hunters was indeed unlucky to run into me.”
“Having not been in this world for long, I’ve already destroyed several of their camps and now exposed their plans on Gale Snow Plain.”
“If those insane Cultists found out, they’d probably want to kill me.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly moved slightly.
“Something’s wrong, given the scale of this cult power, they might already have noticed me.”
“Or maybe they’ve already been watching us Survivors from the Otherworld!”
It should be noted that the Bright Church was not like the seventh or eighth-level monsters in the Ice Nest.
Those Hunters were indeed a headache for the Ice Crystal Kingdom.
The White Robed High Priest had the strength of a Fourth-order Leader, and the more powerful Red Robed Bishop was likely even more formidable.
However, such a powerful existence shouldn’t personally act against someone like Little Kalami, referring to Cao Xing.
But this also reminded Cao Xing,
“It seems, besides defending against the Ice Nest, I also need to find ways to guard against these Hunters.”
“Even if we haven’t been exposed yet, we must prevent future problems.”
“Lest one day the truth is revealed, and those guys lead an attack on my territory, catching me completely off guard.”
Thinking of this, Cao Xing became more determined to quickly develop the territory and enhance his power.
…
The team continued forward.
After a dozen minutes, they reached the vicinity of the coordinates.
Ahead, a forest covered in ice and snow faintly appeared.
This forest was vast, occupying a large area on the map.
After walking one or two more kilometers,
Cao Xing, sitting on the back of a Mammoth, saw a group of human Survivors appear in the snow ahead.
That should be Qiu Yating and the others.
This time, because Cao Xing encountered that group of soldiers on the road, he was delayed by almost an hour.
So Qiu Yating and the others had already arrived early.
At present,
a group of Survivors who looked young, about a dozen in number, gathered together.
Their levels ranged from 7 to 9.
They looked young, their faces innocent, exuding a youthful aura.
Some small girls gathered together, and some even wore Xinzhou High School uniforms.
On the other side, a few boys gathered.
At this time, a Survivor named Xu Haohao wore a look of impatience.
“Why hasn’t Cao Xing arrived yet, is his reputation that significant?”
“Even if he’s number one on the leaderboard, making us all wait so long is too much!”
Hearing this, the other boys nodded.
“Indeed, in this icy land, a few minutes of waiting will freeze us numb; we’ve been waiting here for almost an hour.”
A boy wearing a Green Water Ghost Watch had a contemptuous expression and said, “I think he’s doing it on purpose.”
“This Cao Xing was probably just a low-status individual on Blue Star.”
“After barely becoming number one in this world, he wants to show off his power; I’ve seen plenty like him.”
Upon hearing this, no one else dared to chime in.
At this time, a young woman with delicate features and an elegant demeanor stepped forward and said, “Alright, stop talking. Lord Cao Xing already messaged me; he’ll be here soon.”
“Those words just now, keep them to yourselves. When Lord Cao Xing arrives, don’t speak of it in front of him; if things go wrong, I won’t be responsible for you.”
The others nodded after hearing this.
Only Xu Haocheng and the boy with the Green Water Ghost Watch still wore a dissatisfied expression on their faces.
At this moment, a little girl wrapped in a cotton coat with twin ponytails pointed to the snow in the distance and said,
