The phantom assassin named Sarah saluted slightly to Cao Xing, and the two shadow blades in her hands emitted a creepy cold light.
Cao Xing nodded: "Welcome to join us, Sarah Blade Dance."
Sarah didn't react.
Liu Muxue also said softly at this time: "Welcome, Sarah."
Hearing the voice, the aloof Phantom Assassin turned his gaze towards Liu Muxue and responded, "Thank you, beautiful lady. Sarah Blade Dance is at your service."
Cao Xing rolled his eyes.
This phantom assassin is a bit aloof. He only responds to Liu Muxue and ignores himself.
However, he had long been accustomed to the cold reactions of these newcomers when they were first recruited, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then, Cao Xing checked the attributes of this phantom assassin.

[Satisfaction: 63]
[Loyalty: 59]
…
There was an undisguised look of surprise in Cao Xing's eyes.
Obviously, this is a rather terrifying existence.
With an attack power of nearly 700, any single strike of the sword could trigger a critical hit, even comparable to a shot from a Barrett.
If [Gift of Liberation] is triggered, the damage from that one strike can directly cut off the enemy's skull.
Cao Xing sighed at this time: "This is not an assassin, this is simply a berserker, one knife kills one kid!"
However, Sarah is very strong now.
But with the blessing of Cao Xing's permanent talent, it can be improved to several levels.
So, Cao Xing looked at Sarah with interest and said, "Well, Sarah, I am going to give you a blessing effect now, are you willing to accept it?"
Sarah opened her lips slightly and asked doubtfully, "Blessing?"
Cao Xing nodded, "Yes."
Sarah didn't answer and seemed a little hesitant.
Firstly, she did not trust the new lord, and secondly, she felt that with the other party's weak strength, how could he bestow any powerful blessing on her?
After waiting for a moment, Sarah nodded gently, "Okay, please bless me."
Then, Cao Xing didn't need to say more.
Ilena then cast [Snakeman Madness] and [Scale Armor] on her.
Sarah's body trembled, she clearly felt the power of this force.
Her thin lips parted slightly, but she didn't wait for him to speak.
Cao Xing also threw over [Ice Healing Technique] and [Ice Armor Technique], plus Liu Muxue's [Aurora Blessing].
After five consecutive permanent BUFFs are applied.
Sarah froze in place.
Then, Cao Xing saw that her shoulders were trembling slightly.
As an assassin who often carries out assassination missions, Sarah knows better than anyone how terrible these permanent states are!
Not only can they greatly increase her endurance, but they can also increase her ability to survive.
Especially Ilena's [Snakeman Frenzy], which is a percentage bonus BUFF.
Sarah could feel that her movement speed and attack speed increased again.
Heavy breathing could be heard from beneath the helmet.
Then, she placed the Shadow Blade in her hand to her chest and saluted Cao Xing respectfully.
"Thank you for your blessing, great lord."
"Sarah Blade Dance, I am willing to offer my loyalty to you!"
Sarah's gesture was sincere.
A system prompt also appeared next to Cao Xing's ears.
[You help your follower: Sarah Blade Dance to improve her strength. Her loyalty has been increased. The current loyalty is 71.]
A smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.
Then he looked at the other people in the territory.
"Well, let's continue on our journey now."
"Target: Mole Man Mine!"
Assam and Andrew responded.
"Follow the Lord's will."
The aloof Sarah also whispered at this time: "The Shadow Temple will guide me forward."
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Then he took Liu Muxue with him.
A group of five figures walked out of the camp and headed into the boundless snowfield.
…
…
An hour later, everyone appeared in the vast ice field.
A long trail of footprints was left in the snow behind them.
The weather forecast says it will snow tonight, and these footprints will be covered up quickly.
Cao Xing stopped.
Because they have come to the location marked on the map of Assam.
It was a snowy mountain covered with white snow, and at the foot of the mountain there seemed to be a passage leading to the underground.
Assam was the first to speak: "My Lord, that is the mine I discovered yesterday."
Cao Xing nodded and continued to lead his men forward.
As they approached, a system prompt appeared in front of them.
[Mole Man Mine: Special area (there are a lot of Mole Men active inside, as well as some special dangers, please approach with caution). ]
[Danger level: Extremely dangerous]
It is extremely dangerous again.
But Cao Xing didn't care.
Compared to when he was in the hunter camp, his strength has improved a lot.
Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "Go in."
Everyone understood and headed towards the mine together.
Andrew, who had the highest defensive power, walked in front, and Assam was the second to enter.
As for Sarah, she disappeared into the darkness when she entered the mine.
Cao Xing had no idea of the other party's presence at all.
But he knew Sarah was there.
Liu Muxue held up her shield and looked around vigilantly.
She knew that her mission was to protect Cao Xing from harm.
When they stepped into the mine, a system prompt appeared,
[You have entered a special area: Mole Man Mine. ]
[Current temperature: -34℃]
The temperature inside the mine is higher, gradually dispelling the coldness in the body.
Cao Xing saw one or two torches emitting blue flames on the wall of the mine.
"Assam, help me get these torches down."
Assam did as he was told.
[Get Magic Stone Torch*1]
[Magic Stone Torch: A low-energy lighting tool. One magic stone can provide lighting for up to half a year.]
(Note: You can take the magic stone out of the torch.)
