Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Search the Camp and Harvest Resources

This is also where the leader-level assassin rushed out.

When I went in, I saw a stove burning in the cabin and a small wooden table next to it.

On the wooden table, there is a yellowed parchment map.

It seemed that because the incident happened suddenly, the black-robed priest rushed out without having time to put away the map.

Cao Xing went over and collected it.

[Get 1 Snowstorm Map]

[Click to expand and view]

Cao Xing clicked.

The map in front of him was spread out, and various patterns suddenly appeared on it.

There are rivers, mountains, wild animals, and towns.

In the upper left corner of the map, Cao Xing saw the sign of a large town with its name written on it.

[Doron Lake City]

Cao Xing was stunned. "Oh my goodness, it turns out that Duolun Lake City is right there."

Cao Xing looked at the distance, which was more than a thousand kilometers away from his current location!

From the icons on the map, we can roughly tell that [Duolun Lake City] should be a big town with a large population.

Cao Xing thought: "The distance is too far. It seems that the letter delivery mission cannot be completed in a short time."

"I don't know if the residents of this town have received the news that the hunters are going to launch a massacre in the near future."

He shook his head and put these thoughts behind him.

In addition to these icons, Cao Xing also saw sun symbols on the map.

These suns are big or small.

There is a slightly larger sun position right where they are.

And if you continue going deeper into the canyon for about ten kilometers, you will see a bigger sun.

Cao Xing suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "Oh my god... these aren't all the locations of the hunters' camps, are they?"

"Does this map mark out all the hunters' nests in the entire Snowstorm Plain?"

Cao Xing's breathing stagnated, and he immediately understood the importance of this map!

From the previous battles, it can be seen that destroying these [Hunter Camps] can not only get rewards, but also gain reputation points.

Mastering these locations is equivalent to mastering a lot of benefits!

Cao Xing said excitedly: "It just so happens that I have a blueprint of a tavern. Once the tavern is built, if we want to attract some powerful followers, we need a high enough reputation."

"When your reputation is low in the future, just go to a few hunter camps and brush up on them. Your reputation will soar!"

Cao Xing thought happily.

At this time, Liu Muxue's words interrupted his thoughts.

"Axing, there is a storage box here."

After hearing this, Cao Xing looked over and saw a yellowed wooden box in the corner.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll come and take a look."

[Hunter's Storage Box (Blue): Openable]

"It's actually a blue-grade storage box!"

This is a medium-sized camp, and the storage boxes are of higher quality. Similarly, there may be some good things inside.

Cao Xing rubbed his hands and became excited.

Then he clicked on it.

[Successfully opened the hunter's storage box and obtained smoked fish meat*6]

[Get 3 bottles of honey]

[Get milk*5]

[Get a complete white bear skin*1]

[Get the construction blueprint of a primary sentry tower*1]

[Obtain Redania Centaur Liquor*7]

[Obtain skill book: Blessing of Courage]

[Get Black Diamond*1]

"Lots of stuff, honey and milk too!"

In this icy and snowy place where supplies are scarce, the value of these two resources can be imagined.

Especially honey, which is a delicacy that only nobles can enjoy.

If the leaders Dahua and the others knew that Cao Xing brought back honey, they would definitely jump for joy.

In addition, there is a skill book and a blueprint.

Cao Xing checked the properties of this skill book.

[Blessing of Courage (Blue): Concentrate the power of the Aurora to increase the physical attack power and magic attack power of friendly creatures within a certain range by 1.5 of Spirit*1. The effect lasts for 90 seconds and the cooldown time is 200 seconds.]

After reading the attributes of this skill book, Cao Xing was shocked.

"Oh my god, isn't this one of the Aurora Knight's early auxiliary skills, Blessing of Courage?"

Although Liu Muxue's current mental strength is not high, the increased attack power is not as strong as imagined.

However, as long as she levels up a few more levels and her mental strength is improved, a blessing can increase the attack power of all members.

So, Cao Xing directly gave her the skill book.

"Mu Xue, learn it."

"Um."

Liu Muxue nodded slightly, then directly clicked on "Study".

After a moment, Liu Muxue said with a happy smile: "It's fine now, Ah Xing."

Cao Xing nodded.

At this moment, a diamond emitting a black crystal luster appeared in his hand.

The diamond is about the size of a thumb and appears very transparent under the light of the fire.

[Black diamond: special material, inlaid in equipment, can increase 20 points of charm]

(An extremely rare mineral, nobles regard it as a symbol of status. Any black diamond will cause a rush and can be auctioned at a very high price.)

Seeing the above introduction, Cao Xing was stunned, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Oh my god... one gem can increase your charm by 20 points, this is too outrageous!"

"No wonder those nobles are eager to own a black diamond!"

This black diamond can bring huge profits to Cao Xing whether he uses it for himself or trades it in the town.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, then put the black diamond back into his backpack.

At this point, they had searched all the items in the camp, which could be said to be a great harvest.

"Let's go, get ready to go home!"

After saying that, they walked out of the camp again.

Then, everyone climbed up along the pile of huge rocks on the edge of the cliff.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After Dabai climbed up from the cliff, Cao Xing's team was assembled again.

He glanced at the time above his head.

[Due to nightfall: 1 hour and 17 minutes...]

[Current temperature: -56℃]

Cao Xing was certain in his heart, "There is still more than an hour before dark, which is more than enough time for me to return to the camp."

Then he sat on the back of the crawler robot and continued moving forward.

A group of people, along with four machines and a mammoth, were moving quickly across the vast ice field.

After a while, snowflakes started falling overhead.

"It's snowing, Xing."

Liu Muxue stretched out her right hand and murmured, "So beautiful..."

Cao Xing looked around.

Although the weather forecast said there would be light snowfall.

But in this kind of snowfield, a light snowfall is comparable to the heavy snowfall on the Blue Star.

Whoosh——

The cold wind was howling and the temperature began to drop rapidly.

The snow was falling heavily, and the view before my eyes became so bleak that I couldn't even tell the directions.

Fortunately, Cao Xing has the system's built-in mini-map function.

Under his leadership, the team advanced steadily despite the wind and snow.

After a while, they saw the location of their camp.

From a distance, you can see a big bonfire burning.

The snowflakes fell near the campfire and were quickly melted by the heat from the flames.

Compared to the vast expanse of white outside.

Cao Xing's camp is like an independent world in the ice and snow.

At this moment, the group of polar people were still working hard in the heavy snow.

Liu Muxue said: "Axing, our territory has become much larger, and it seems that there are many more buildings!"

She looked a little excited.

After all, this is the territory of her and Cao Xing.

Cao Xing nodded, he also saw the changes in the territory.

Compared to when they left, the current territory has expanded significantly.

In other words, during this period of time, Dazhuang and his team upgraded the campfire by at least two levels.

In addition, there are many small shelters in the territory.

The [Blacksmith Shop] and [Canteen] have also been built.

"Let's go back to the camp."

Cao Xing and his men gradually approached.

The group of polar people saw a large group of figures walking in the snow from afar, with strong vigilance and fear in their eyes.

When they saw Cao Xing sitting on the tracked robot, their pupils widened.

"Oh, my God! It's the Lord!"

"Why are there so many creatures all of a sudden?"

"Oh my god! There are also mammoths. How did the Lord tame such sacred creatures?"

These polar people were shocked to see Cao Xing go out and bring back so many powerful creatures.

At the same time, all the people stopped what they were doing and stood together respectfully waiting.

Xia Yanni, who is tall and wearing tight jeans, stands out among the group.

She exudes a strong scent of maturity, like a ripe peach.

Xia Yanni held Tong Chuchu's little hand and looked at the big guys around Cao Xing nervously.

Cao Xing jumped off the tracked robot and asked, "Da Zhuang, nothing happened during the time I was away, right?"

Da Zhuang quickly stepped forward and reported: "My Lord, nothing special happened. Everyone is working hard."

"Except at noon, there were a few frost goblins who wanted to attack us, but they were shot dead by Ms. Ilena with the help of the powerful elemental arrow tower."

After hearing this, Cao Xing nodded.

Frost Goblin is also a common monster in the wild.

Although these wild creatures cannot enter the territory, they can attack staff outside the territory.

Fortunately, before Cao Xing left, he left Ilena to guard the territory and built a [Primary Elemental Arrow Tower].

Cao Xing looked at the snakeman Ilena and said, "Ilena, you did a good job."

Ilena twisted her body, spit out a scarlet letter and said, "I am happy to serve you, my lord."

Da Zhuang respectfully took out a few azure stones and said, "My Lord, these are things dropped by those goblins. They contain a magical aura."

Cao Xing took it.

[Obtain 4 ice crystal stones. ]

[Ice Crystal Stone (Green): A stone that explodes from certain ice monsters. It contains a strong icy aura and can be used to build certain special buildings or to create certain ice attribute equipment.]

Cao Xing's eyes lit up, "Huh, it's this kind of stone?"
