Chapter 72
“Da Bai, make it shut up.”
Da Bai, standing to the side, immediately charged forward upon hearing this.
Thud! Thud!
Heavy footsteps approached like a war machine.
The Ice Nest Hoof saw Da Bai charging and was unyielding, lowering its head to engage in a test of strength with Da Bai!
Thud! Thud thud!
The two colossal creatures collided.
However, at the moment its horn clashed with Da Bai’s tusk,
the Rhino Monster was sent flying.
At this moment, Da Bai continued its charge.
With a flick of its tusk, followed by a stomp.
[-934]
[-877]
Crunch!
Da Bai’s massive forehoof crushed the Rhino Monster’s head; it was dead beyond saving.
A System Prompt appeared before Cao Xing.
[Your pet, Da Bai, has killed Ice Nest Hoof lvl 10, gaining 180 Experience Points]
[Combat Personnel gained 90 Experience Points]
At this moment, Da Bai still stood on the Rhino Monster’s corpse, looking at Cao Xing with hopeful eyes.
Cao Xing patted its elephant hoof, praising, “Well done, Da Bai.”
Da Bai shook its head, seemingly a bit pleased from the master’s praise.
Meanwhile, the subjects looked at this scene in bewilderment.
They had expected a fierce battle.
Yet in an instant, the outcome was decided.
“What a… a powerful mammoth…”
Once again, they were in awe of the immense power of Cao Xing’s territory.
Underneath the Ice Nest Hoof’s carcass, Cao Xing found 4 [Ice Dragon Marks] and 3 [Ice Glacier Slivers].
A decent haul.
Unfortunately, these monsters hatched from the Ice Nest do not drop equipment.
Then, Cao Xing continued to order, “Sarah, destroy this Ice Nest.”
Sarah nodded, the Shadow Blade slicing through.
[-745]
[-777]
[Your Territory Member, Sarah Blade Dance, successfully destroyed the Ice Nest, gaining 100 Experience Points]
[Combat Personnel gained 50 Experience Points]
[Acquired Ice Dragon Mark *20]
“Huh? Actually got 20 Ice Dragon Marks directly?”
Cao Xing’s eyes shone.
Destroying an Ice Nest was worth dozens of monster kills, not bad.
Nodding in satisfaction, he said, “Let’s head back.”
Cao Xing led the team back to the territory with great momentum.
As soon as they returned to the territory,
all the subjects kneeled down respectfully.
Subject Cao Yi took the lead and shouted, “Welcome back in triumph, Lord!”
“The Lord’s might is magnificent!”
Other subjects also shouted in unison, “The Lord’s might is magnificent!”
They looked up excitedly at this group of powerful warriors, their eyes full of fervor.
Cao Xing paused, shook his head, and did not say much more.
However, he did see Subject Cao Yi in a higher regard.
This guy really understood the way.
He was a true expert in conducting promotions.
Cao Xing nodded slightly, “Rise, my subjects.”
Upon receiving the command, the subjects stood up.
But their eyes remained fervently on the warriors.
Including the Tree Spirit Clan on the side, who also felt a strong sense of belonging to this territory.
Nif, encircled by the crowd, appeared extremely inconspicuous.
She repeatedly raised her head and then lowered it again, nervously clutching the hem of her clothing, as if she was making a difficult decision.
Cao Xing noticed this snow-princess-like girl, seeing that she seemed to have some concerns.
So he spoke, “Nif, is there anything you need to report to me?”
Being called by Cao Xing, Little Nifu trembled.
Everyone turned their gaze to her.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Nif seemed to muster her courage.
With a nervous expression, she slowly walked up to Cao Xing and knelt respectfully.
“Lord, Nif has a matter that requires your assistance!”
Behind her, a mature-looking member of the Tree Spirit Clan hesitated to speak but ultimately said nothing.
The other subjects also turned their eyes towards her.
Cao Xing knew it was time for him to show himself.
“Nif, you are my subject. If you have any issues, you may speak to me openly.”
“Now tell me, what difficulty are you facing?”
Nif, kneeling on the ground, took a deep breath, and then solemnly said, “Lord, my sister Juliette and I got separated on the road.”
“Nif requests your help in finding her.”
“If you can bring my sister back, Nif is willing to offer everything she has, including the Pale Seed within her.”
Upon hearing the words “Pale Seed,” the Tree Spirit Clan widened their pupils in shock.
They looked at Nif in astonishment, seeming not to expect her to reveal such a matter.
Among them, the mature member of the Tree Spirit Clan instinctively wanted to stop Nif.
However, considering it was their Lord, the female Tree Spirit sighed in the end.
Cao Xing, however, asked in puzzlement, “Pale Seed… what is that?”
At this moment, Andrew beside him also showed signs of shock.
Andrew explained, “Lord, the Pale Holy Tree is the most sacred giant tree on the North Continent.”
“It is said to be as tall as the heavens, possessing infinite great power, even capable of foreseeing the future.”
“Guardians can approach this Holy Tree at intervals with a question, any question, and the Holy Tree will have an answer.”
“Apart from the unique Pale Holy Tree, there are some seeds sown by the Holy Tree, which grow into new Pale Trees.”
“Although not as miraculous as the Pale Holy Tree, they possess unique great powers.”
“It is said that territories that plant the Pale Tree receive a mysterious blessing.”
