Chapter 115

“Bang!”

After a gunshot, the bullet streaked through.

This volley of fire directly took 1100 blood volume from the Snow Demon.

“Roar!!!”

The Snow Demon let out an angry roar, its blood volume already dropping below 30%.

Before it could make the next move.

Cao Xing ordered, “Kanter, throw the skill and control it!”

The Centaur Kanter next to him directly threw the blunt weapon in his hand.

Bang!

The damage wasn’t high, but it caused the Snow Demon to fall into a state of dizziness!

Cao Xing was instantly delighted, “It’s stable now!”

“Finish it off!”

With that said, everyone began a second round of concentrated attacks.

Cao Xing also fired a second shot.

This volley of fire would definitely kill the Snow Demon on the spot!

But at this moment.

The Snow Demon, in a state of dizziness, surprisingly let out a strange howl.

“Woo!!”

The next moment, its body directly melted, forcibly escaping from the state of dizziness, and then quickly disappeared into the snow.

Bang!

Boom!

Everyone’s attack fell into empty space, kicking up a snow flurry.

And that Snow Demon vanished into thin air.

“Escaped?”

Cao Xing was incredulous.

“Damn, this is too ridiculous, even the dizziness state can be forcibly removed!”

Cao Xing knew this was the effect of the Snow Demon’s skill “Snow God You,” truly perverse.

At this time, Cao Xing noticed a green +325 number suddenly appearing in the distant snow.

He instantly realized it was the Snow Demon.

A glimmer of hope reappeared on Cao Xing’s face.

“Over there!”

In this moment, all recruited beings reacted, launching various ranged attacks in that direction.

However, under the “Snow God You” state, the Snow Demon wasn’t harmed at all.

Seeing that the Snow Demon was about to escape.

A trace of helplessness appeared on Cao Xing’s face.

There was nothing he could do, he had really tried his best.

This Snow Demon was too hard to kill, no wonder Assam said few could slay a Snow Demon.

Moreover, after this, the Snow Demon now knew Cao Xing’s means, making it even more troublesome to deal with next time.

Just then, Sarah suddenly appeared in the dark.

She snapped her fingers.

“Snap!”

An explosion suddenly occurred in the snow a hundred meters away.

Bang!

Not only that, but Cao Xing also saw a large damage number floating up.

The system prompt appeared.

Not just Cao Xing, everyone on the scene widened their eyes.

“Damn!!!”

Cao Xing was shocked, he also understood this was the effect of Sarah’s “Shadow Blossom” skill.

Each attack left a shadow mark, then could be instantly detonated!

This explosion directly killed the Snow Demon on the spot.

Cao Xing was thrilled, giving Sarah a thumbs up, “Sarah, you’re amazing!”

Receiving Cao Xing’s praise, Sarah’s thin lips curled into a joyful smile, then she lightly nodded.

Cao Xing also led the team to the Snow Demon’s corpse outside.

After the Snow Demon died, it shattered into a pile of ice shards on the ground.

Amongst the ice shards, Cao Xing saw a bright red heart and some other materials.

Not bad, quite a bit of loot.

Cao Xing glanced at the attributes of these new materials.

(The still-beating Snow Demon Heart contains intense life force.)

Looking at the heart pulsing in his hand, Cao Xing couldn’t help but complain, “Is this thing edible?”

He couldn’t quite come to terms with it right away, so he stored the in his backpack and checked the next item.

(It’s said among the Imperial nobles, Snow Demon Tongue is an extremely rare delicacy, many Royals long to taste such a delicacy.)

Cao Xing twitched at the corners of his mouth, “Damn, these nobles have quite an exotic palate, eating this stuff.”

Feeling at a loss, he checked the next item.

(If you can find a Holy Altar to purify the Fallen Soul, you’ll gain the friendship and special rewards of that ancient kingdom.)

(Collect 100 Brass Ancient Coins to exchange for 1 Ancient Treasure Box, which may contain Ancient Weapons, schematics, or other vanished items.)

The first three items were parts of the Snow Demon, which Cao Xing directly stored in his backpack.

As for the Brass Ancient Coin.

Seeing the description, Cao Xing pondered, “Can exchange for Ancient Weapons, similar to this Barrett in my hand?”

“I remember this thing has the prefix of Ancient Weapon too.”

Needing to collect 100 to exchange, and with only 2 dropped per Snow Demon, Cao Xing would have to slay fifty Snow Demons to redeem one Ancient Treasure Box.

Clearly, this wasn’t something he could accomplish now.

Shaking his head, he stored all these items.

Under Assam’s protection, Cao Xing returned to the territory.

The commotion earlier had awakened all the subjects from their sleep, including Liu Muxue who also came out of the hut.

They were all anxiously watching the battle outside the territory.

The Snow Demon’s ferocity terrified these subjects.

But fortunately, the powerful Lord and his subordinates managed to take down this Snow Demon!

Watching their fervent eyes,

Cao Xing clapped his hands and said, “Alright, it’s over, everyone go back and rest, we need to work early tomorrow.”

The subject, Cao Yi, immediately took the lead and said, “As you command, Lord, your power protects us, allowing us to have peaceful nights.”

“Praise the great Lord!”

Then, all the subjects hurried into their warm shelters.

Cao Xing also led Liu Muxue back to the Lord’s Hut.

As they passed the Sewing Shop, he saw Xia Yanni leaning by the door.

Cao Xing nodded, signaling that everything was okay.

Xia Yanni wore a relieved smile, then also lightly nodded.

After returning to the Lord’s Hut, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue embraced and slept.

Nothing special occurred in the latter half of the night.

The next morning, just as day broke.

A system prompt appeared.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue both woke up.

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing pondered, “Is it the last day of the newbie protection period?”

“Given the danger level of this world, once the newbie protection period is over, quite a few people will probably die.”

Hearing this, Liu Muxue’s eyes also showed worry.

Last night’s Snow Demon invasion made her realize the snowfields at night weren’t safe.

Besides the Snow Demon, there was the forthcoming expansion pack: Giant Dragon Resurgence.

A large number of Ice Nest Monsters would appear in every corner of this world.

Plus the roaming beasts in the snowfields, those crazed Hunters, and the Alien Ghost Army not yet encountered.

Danger was ubiquitous.

These monsters could take away the lives of many survivors.

However, when she thought about the strength of this territory, her worries gradually dissipated.

As for the lives of others, Liu Muxue wasn’t too concerned.

She couldn’t be blamed for this, in this world, it was hard enough to protect oneself.

Cao Xing said, “Get up, Muxue, freshen up, we need to go out and assign work to the subjects.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Liu Muxue responded softly, but before getting up, she embraced Cao Xing’s neck and gave him a kiss.

Cao Xing smiled.

A few minutes later, the two walked out of the Lord’s Hut.

At this moment, a large crowd stood on the empty ground outside.

Seeing Cao Xing come out, their eyes lit up instantly, and they all greeted him.

“Honorable Lord, good morning, may you be healthy.”

“Beautiful Lord’s Wife, good morning, may you always be as lovely as a flower.”

Cao Xing chuckled, these Natives were quite eloquent, their morning greetings were different every day.

“Dazhuang.”

Hearing Cao Xing call him, Dazhuang the Polar Person immediately stepped forward, spoke solemnly, “Lord, what are your orders?”

Cao Xing said, “Today, pause the copper mine’s extraction, put away our iron rails and minecarts to prevent them from being destroyed by those monsters.”

“Then take all the Polar People and make a circuit around the territory, start fully constructing the initial city wall.”

“Strive to encircle our territory within a day!”

Now, Cao Xing’s territory diameter was one kilometer, building a wall around it required over three thousand meters.

Calculating one city wall per 24 minutes, 8 Polar People working at full capacity, construct the wall simultaneously, could almost encircle the entire territory by nightfall.

This was the advantage of many people, as long as there were enough laborers, a defense structure could be built in a day.

Dazhuang immediately shouted, “Understood, Lord!”

Cao Xing then looked at an older man beside them, “Cao Yi, today your task is also quite miscellaneous.”

“You need to upgrade the Sewing Shop, Blacksmith Shop, Cafeteria, and all shelters to intermediate level.”

“Then build the Bakery, Cowshed, and these constructions.”
