Cao Xing's idea moved. There were only three days left in the novice protection period, which should be enough for him to reach level 10.
Liu Muxue asked softly: "Axing, will it snow tonight?"
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Yes, it will snow, but it's okay as long as it's not a blizzard."
"With the current facilities in our territory, we are able to handle it."
Liu Muxue nodded slightly.
Then, Cao Xing took her and pushed open the door of the lord's hut.
Outside, the polar people and the newly joined subjects had already been waiting there.
When they saw Cao Xing coming out, they all said in unison: "My Lord, are you well?"
"Good morning, Lord. Please arrange our work for today!"
The people were very enthusiastic; before this, they had been living a life of hunger.
On just the first day of arriving in Cao Xing Territory, they felt the development prospects of this territory.
Therefore, they cherish this opportunity very much.
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Today, continue the work I instructed you to do yesterday."
"Collect more resources and upgrade the campfire and the lord's hut."
"Let us build a more prosperous territory together!"
The people immediately responded respectfully: "Yes, Lord."
"I am willing to give everything for the development of the territory!"
They dispersed one after another and started their day's work.
At this time, Xia Yanni and Tong Chuchu, each holding a set of thick clothes, stood by and waited silently.
After seeing Cao Xing had arranged the work, Xia Yanni walked over carefully and said, "Sir, the clothes are ready."
As a modern person, she seems not to be used to this kind of address.
Cao Xing nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay..." Xia Yanni replied softly.
After saying that, she and Tong Chuchu handed the sewn wolfskin coats to Cao Xing and Liu Muxue respectively.
[Get wolf fur coat (white)*1, get wolf fur hat (white)*1]
These two pieces of clothing don't have any additional attributes, they just provide good protection against cold.
After the two put on the two pieces of warm clothing, they instantly felt that the severe coldness of this world was isolated.
Looking at Xia Yanni's pupils covered with dark circles, Cao Xing knew that she must have stayed up late last night.
So, Cao Xing took out two pieces of bear meat and a bottle of milk and handed them to Xia Yanni.
After Xia Yanni took it, there was a look of intense surprise in her eyes.
"Lord, can you really give me such precious meat and milk?"
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Chu Chu is still young, give her some nourishment."
Xia Yanni's eyes suddenly turned slightly red.
She held Tong Chuchu's hand and nodded solemnly, "Thank you, thank you..."
Tong Chuchu also happily held the milk and said happily: "Thank you, big brother."
…
After arranging the work, Cao Xing called Assam over.
"Assam, when you went out yesterday, besides rescuing Dahua and the others, did you find anything else?"
Assam replied respectfully, "Yes, Lord, I have drawn a map of the surrounding area according to your instructions."
"It's just that I haven't finished exploring yet, so the map is not yet complete."
After hearing this, Cao Xing was immediately delighted and said, "It's okay if it's not finished yet, just show it to me first."
Assam nodded, then took out a yellowed parchment from the back of the Frostwolf and handed it to Cao Xing.
A system prompt appears.
[Get unfinished map*1]
Cao Xing saw that this map recorded Assam's route.
Liu Muxue also came close to Cao Xing and looked at the map with curiosity in her eyes.
However, after seeing the rough simplified Chinese style of the drawing on the parchment, he burst out laughing.
Some resource points are marked above.
For example, a tree represents that there are timber resources in that place.
A chick means there are wild animals in that place.
A piece of stone represents the mineral resources in that place.
Thanks to Cao Xing's excellent comprehension ability, otherwise I really wouldn't understand what it meant.
An embarrassed look appeared on Assam's resolute face. He scratched his head and said, "I... I have never learned to paint. I can only draw it simply."
Liu Muxue comforted him: "It's okay, as long as you can understand it."
Asam nodded gratefully: "Thank you, beautiful and kind Second Lord."
At this time, Cao Xing pointed to a dark cave near the territory and asked, "Assam, what is this?"
Assam replied embarrassedly: "My Lord, that is a mine."
"But it has been occupied by a group of mole people. I heard the roar of machinery nearby."
The roar of the machine?
Cao Xing's eyes lit up.
Because this means that there are probably some technological artifacts in that mine.
Cao Xing asked: "Assam, how strong are those mole people?"
Asam shook his head and said, "My Lord, I did not go in to investigate."
"But the mole people are underground creatures, and their general strength is around level one. Occasionally, there may be some level two or three mole people appearing."
After listening to this, Cao Xing already had an idea in his mind.
The mine is about six kilometers away from the territory, and it takes about two hours to go back and forth.
So, Cao Xing nodded and said, "Very good, then our goal today is to explore this mole man mine."
"Try to raise the level of both me and Mu Xue."
Assam bowed respectfully and said, "I am at your service at any time, my dear lord."
Andrew on the side had a pious look in his eyes and he was also ready for battle.
However, before leaving, Cao Xing still had something to do.
That is, use that recruitment scroll to strengthen the strength of your own team.
Cao Xing took out a scroll from his backpack.
[Phantom Assassin Recruitment Scroll (Blue): This scroll can be used to summon a Phantom Assassin with level 20 elite strength.]
There is no doubt that this will be the most powerful creature recruited by Cao Xing.
"Recruitment?"
Cao Xing nodded directly.
The scene flashed before my eyes.
This time, what appeared in front of Cao Xing was not a hexagram.
But it was a black mist.
The black fog was expanding rapidly, and in a few seconds it enveloped the entire camp.
Cao Xing saw a vague figure moving inside.
There was no aura emanating from that figure, but it gave Cao Xing a sense of fatal crisis.
The next moment, the fog dissipated.
In front of Cao Xing, a woman wearing a black cloak and tight black leather armor appeared.
This outfit highlights her perfect figure.
On its head, a pitch-black helmet covered most of its face, and only a pair of slightly red lips could be seen under its blue skin.
She slowly said, "The Shadow Temple needs protection, and that is why I am here."
"Phantom Assassin: Sarah Blade Dance reports to you!"
