: Bonfire Upgrade, Recruit Polar People!

Obviously, if the "Eternal Power" talent were to function, it's necessary to gather more territorial forces.

　　"It seems I should develop along the line of Lord Stream," Cao Xing thought to himself.

　　At this moment, Cao Xing noticed a countdown overhead.

　　[Time until nightfall: 4 hours 32 minutes...]

　　[Note: During the newbie protection period, there will be no monster attacks on the camp, newbie protection period remaining: 5 days 17 hours…]

　　"Only 4 hours left until dark!"

　　Cao Xing's scalp tightened instantly.

　　He knew that in this extremely cold world, the temperature would plummet drastically at night.

　　Cao Xing's gaze turned to the bonfire in front of him.

　　[Camp Fire: Level 1]

　　[Bonfire Effect: Can increase the temperature of a 10-meter radius by 5~20℃]

　　[Consumption]: 1 wood per 15 minutes.

　　[Materials required for upgrade]: Stone *5

　　Currently, the temperature near the bonfire was already at -32℃, and it would drop another 20 degrees or more at night.

　　Obviously, the heat emitted by this Level 1 bonfire was not enough to let him pass through the night safely.

　　Cao Xing then looked at another collapsed small hut nearby.

　　[Damaged Lord's Hut: Repairable]

　　[Materials needed for repair: Stone *10, Wood *20.]

　　Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly.

　　This is it!

　　Once repaired, the territory interface could be opened, and he could hide inside at night to avoid the harsh cold.

　　However, repairing the Lord's Hut required materials like stone and wood.

　　Cao Xing surveyed the surrounding snowfield, where there were a pile of white stones and some cut wood near the bonfire.

　　[Stone (white): A basic material.]

　　[Wood (white): A basic material.]

　　Just as Cao Xing was about to pick up the wood, Liu Muxue softly inquired nearby: "Axing, the prompt sound asks me to choose a profession, what should I choose?"

　　Obviously, this woman had already digested the system information and accepted the fact that she was in a new world.

　　Cao Xing nodded secretly, her adaptability was quite fast.

　　"Sis-in-law, you should choose Aurora Knight."

　　Cao Xing had a personal bias for letting her choose this profession.

　　Because Aurora Knight had many powerful boost skills in the later stage, but the effects were always short-lived.

　　And with his own "Eternal Power" talent, he could turn these boost effects into permanent states.

　　Imagine, at that time, Cao Xing controlling a group of permanently buffed units, how terrifying their combat power would be.

　　Although, be it in demeanor or appearance, Liu Muxue didn't match the knight image at all.

　　Especially since today she was wearing white silk stockings.

　　Thinking of Liu Muxue wearing armor on top and white silk stockings below, Cao Xing felt it was quite a mismatch.

　　Uh... no, maybe it's not bad?

　　A white-silk knight... hehe...

　　"Alright, then I'll choose Aurora Knight." Liu Muxue didn't doubt Cao Xing's decision.

　　In this unfamiliar world, Cao Xing was the only person she knew.

　　Cao Xing nodded and then saw a small wooden box next to the bonfire.

　　[Territory Storage Box: Level 1]

　　[Storage Box Capacity: 40 slots]

　　[Note: There are some initial supplies and tools inside, please open it as soon as possible.]

　　Cao Xing stepped forward and opened it, revealing many supplies inside.

　　[Successfully opened: Obtained Bread *20, Obtained Iron Pot (white) *1, Obtained Stone Axe (white) *4, Obtained Stone Hammer (white) *4, Obtained Wooden Magic Wand (white) *1, Obtained Wooden Round Shield (white) *1]

　　The supplies inside were for four people, and the system didn't dock the supplies even though they were only a two-person team.

　　Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

　　With the stone hammer, he could start building the Lord's Hut. This was key to safely passing the first night.

　　Then he began to gather nearby stones and wood, moving them piece by piece.

　　System prompts appeared continuously.

　　[Stone +1]

　　[Stone +1]

　　[Wood +2]

　　...

　　These stones were quite heavy; after a while, Cao Xing was drenched in sweat.

　　As a modern person, my physical fitness really is lacking.

　　However, after nearly twenty minutes of hard work, he finally gathered enough materials to repair the Lord's Hut.

　　Cao Xing stood before the small hut.

　　[Start repairing the Damaged Lord's Hut? It will take 17 minutes…]

　　"Yes."

　　Then, Cao Xing began wielding the stone hammer himself, hammering away to the system's given template.

　　There was no choice; only after repairing the Lord's Hut could he unlock other territory constructions.

　　Before recruiting Polar People, Cao Xing could only do it himself.

　　Seeing him busy, Liu Muxue crouched on the ground, hugging her arms tightly against the cold, perfectly displaying her curves.

　　She looked at him with curious eyes and asked: "Axing, is there anything I can help with?"

　　Cao Xing glanced at the fire on the ground and then at the scattered stones and wood in the snow, nodding: "You go collect the nearby stones and wood first, then upgrade the campfire as soon as possible."

　　Liu Muxue, hearing this, had no hesitation.

　　She stood up directly and walked out to the fire.

　　Soon, she returned, awkwardly carrying a stone.

　　It was clear that the weight of this stone was quite burdensome for her.

　　Liu Muxue held it in her arms, her arms turning red from the cold.

　　But she gritted her teeth and continued moving stones.

　　[Stone +1]

　　The high heels were inconvenient, so Liu Muxue took them off, walking barefoot in the snow, her face pale with cold.

　　Cao Xing, busy repairing the Lord's Hut, did not stop her.

　　In this world, to survive, everyone had to exert effort.

　　"Hmm..."

　　When Liu Muxue put down the stone, her perky hips faced Cao Xing, perfectly showcasing her curves, making blood rush.

　　Cao Xing quickly turned his gaze away, focusing on his work.

　　There he was, repairing the Lord's Hut.

　　Liu Muxue was transporting stones to upgrade the bonfire, the two collaborated in division of labor.

　　Soon, Cao Xing heard a system prompt.

　　[Your campfire has been upgraded to Level 2.]

　　[Campfire: Level 2]

　　[Bonfire Effect: Can increase the temperature of a 20-meter radius by 10~20℃]

　　[Consumption]: 1 wood per 13 minutes.

　　[Materials required for next level]: Stone *10

　　…

　　The upgraded bonfire's coverage was significantly larger.

　　Even Cao Xing, who was working, felt a bit of warmth, and his efficiency improved.

　　A few minutes later, a system prompt appeared.

　　[Lord's Hut built successfully, territory interface unlocked, congratulations! You can now build more basic infrastructure.]

　　Cao Xing smiled joyfully, he could finally construct other buildings!

　　The next step was to build the "Polar People Hut" and then summon some Polar People to formally begin his path as Lord!

　　Simultaneously, a second system prompt appeared.

　　[As the first survivor on all servers to build a Lord's Hut, you earn a reward: Ice Healing Skill (Skill Book).]

　　[Ice Healing Skill (white): Consumes a certain amount of spiritual power to cast Ice Healing Skill on a target, restoring Life Value at 0.8 times Spirit per second, lasting 3 seconds.]

　　Smack!

　　A yellowed skill book appeared in the snow in front of Cao Xing.

　　Great! It was actually a skill book!

　　And one for himself.

　　Although combat rarely occurred during the rookie protection period, this skill book undoubtedly increased Cao Xing's confidence significantly.

　　[Learn Ice Healing Skill (white)?]

　　"Yes."

　　Cao Xing clicked to learn directly.

　　At this time, many functional panels appeared before Cao Xing.

　　They were: [Territory], [Construction], [Carrying Backpack], [Crafting], [Channel], [Personal], and [Territorial Forces].

　　These interfaces nearly covered all functions.

　　Cao Xing first opened the [Backpack], which had only 20 slots of storage space.

　　Of course, it was empty inside.

　　Then, he opened [Construction].

　　Clicking it, many Level 1 constructions popped up.

　　Including: [Level 1 Simple Stove], [Level 1 Simple Hearth], [Level 1 Smelting Factory], [Level 1 Logging Factory], [Level 1 Blacksmith Shop], [Level 1 Polar People Hut], among others...

　　Without looking at the other basic facilities for now,

　　Cao Xing first opened the [Polar People Hut] introduction.

　　[Level 1 Polar People Hut: Can summon Polar People to work for you by spending food.]

　　[Area: 12 square meters]

　　[Capacity: 4 people.]

　　[Materials required for construction: Stone *10, Wood *30.]

　　[Repair time: 45 minutes (Population can be added for repair, accelerating repair time, limit: 2 people)]

　　…

　　Cao Xing thought to himself: "It takes 45 minutes for one person to build, that's a bit slow."

　　"There are only three hours left until nightfall, and I still need to do other things."

　　Thus, he looked at Liu Muxue, "Sis-in-law, come help me."

　　...

　　...

　　Liu Muxue, due to moving stones and wood, had consumed a lot of physical energy, her dress soaked with sweat.

　　Through her dress, one could see the outline of her white lace underwear.

　　Hearing Cao Xing calling her, Liu Muxue put down her tasks and walked over slowly.

　　"Axing, what do you need me to do?"

　　Cao Xing pointed to the empty space in front of them and said, "I want to build a Polar People Hut here, but constructing it takes too long."

　　"Help me build it together, and it will be much faster."

　　Liu Muxue looked slightly confused, seemingly not understanding, but nodded anyway.

　　Then, the two started cooperating to build the Polar People Hut.

　　"Clang! Clang!"

　　Rhythmic hammering sounds echoed in the vast snowy field.

　　Half an hour later.

　　A system prompt appeared.

　　[Successfully built: Polar People Hut, Territory Population +4]

　　[Now, you can recruit Polar People to work for you by consuming food.]

　　[Note: As a Lord, you need to provide daily food for your subordinates, if left in hunger for long, they will abandon you.]

　　In front of the two, a small hut resembling a camp tent suddenly appeared on the snowy ground, standing just under two meters high.

　　At this moment, another system prompt appeared in Cao Xing's ear.

　　"As the first survivor on all servers to build a [Polar People Hut], you earn a reward: Bread *50."

　　Seeing this system prompt, a glimmer of delight flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

　　Great! A full 50 pieces of food, this reward is quite impressive.

　　Cao Xing couldn't help but feel grateful for having played this game, allowing him to construct these buildings ahead of everyone in the shortest time.

　　Cao Xing thought to himself: "Recruiting a Polar Person requires 5 units of food, if not for this system reward, I could only recruit a maximum of 2."

　　"But now, I can directly recruit 4 Polar People."

　　Thinking of this, Cao Xing clicked on recruitment directly.

　　[Consume food *20 to recruit Polar People *4?]

　　"Yes."

　　As soon as the words fell, the tent-like camp began to tremble.

　　Then, the door was pushed open.

　　Out came four figures, each less than 1.5 meters tall, dressed in thick snow suits, with rough appearances.

　　These were the Polar People.

　　After coming out, they looked at Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, respectfully saluting.

　　"Honorable Lord, the Polar People pledge their service to you!"

　　On the side, Liu Muxue was completely taken aback by this miraculous transformation.

　　Her small mouth opened slightly, and she exclaimed: "Ah ah ah ah, Axing, they came...came out!"

: World Chat Channel

Liu Muxue was shocked by the sight of four Polar People materializing out of thin air in the snow,

while Cao Xing was not surprised at all.

Anyone who had been a Lord knew that this was perfectly normal.

At this moment, the four Polar People were staring with wide eyes, expectantly looking at Cao Xing.

Cao Xing started to check their attributes.

[Polar Person: Alfanasi (name can be changed)]

[Level: 1, 0/100 (can gain experience through combat and other activities)]

[Detailed Attributes: Click to expand]

...

[Polar Person: Zack (name can be changed)]

[Level: 1, 0/100]

[Detailed Attributes: Click to expand]

...

[Polar Person: Mama Duo (name can be changed)]

[Level: 1, 0/100]

...

The attributes of these four Polar People were mostly similar, although the one named Zack had a slightly higher constitution.

Because these names were of a more Western style, Cao Xing didn't want to put effort into memorizing their names.

So, Cao Xing pointed at the Polar Person named Zack and said, "From now on, you shall be called Dazhuang; you are the captain of your small team."

"The others are Erhuang, Sanhuang, and Sizhuang, respectively."

"Do you all understand?"

Beside him, Liu Muxue chuckled, seemingly amused by Cao Xing's simple and crude naming style.

However, the faces of the Polar People, covered with hair, showed joy.

"Understood!"

"Thank you, Lord, for granting us names!"

[You successfully named the Polar Person; Dazhuang's loyalty increased by 5 points...]

[You successfully named the Polar Person; Erzhuang's loyalty increased by 5 points...]

...

Cao Xing was surprised; could he increase loyalty with that?

Seventy-five loyalty points were already very high; at least they wouldn't defy Cao Xing's orders.

Once the Polar People were recruited, they needed to start working.

Cao Xing opened the [Construction] interface to check the buildings that could be constructed.

[Level 1 Simple Furnace: Can be placed indoors, raising the temperature by 15~20 degrees Celsius.]

[Consumption: 20 minutes/1 wood]

[Construction materials required: Stone*6]

Note: If you don't want to freeze to death at night, I suggest you build it immediately!

...

[Level 1 Simple Stove: Can be used for cooking, steaming, and other actions.]

[Construction materials required: Stone*8, Wood*4.]

Note: This is for eating, pal; you should know how important it is, right?

...

[Level 1 Logging Factory: Can be used to process logs.]

[Area: 30 square meters]

[Construction materials required: Stone*30, Wood*50.]

Note: To get rich, start chopping trees; I suggest you prioritize building the logging factory.

...

[Level 1 Sewing Shop: Can make simple cold-resistant clothing or armor.]

[Area: 30 square meters]

[Construction materials required: Stone*40, Wood*60.]

Note: As a Lord, you wouldn't want your subordinates to go naked into battle, right?

...

[Level 1 Ore Processing Plant: Can smelt and sort collected ores from the wild.]

[Processable ores: Coal, Iron. (Upgrading the processing plant can smelt higher-grade metals!)]

[Area: 50 square meters]

[Construction materials required: Stone*80, Wood*150.]

Note: To create more advanced equipment, a processing plant is indispensable.

...

[Level 1 Blacksmith Shop: Can forge weapons or tools inside]

[Area: 30 square meters]

[Construction materials required: Stone*100, Wood*200, Iron*20]

Note: Listen, pal, soldiers without weapons are like toothless tigers.

...

...

There were many types of level 1 buildings; besides these, there were also [Medical Room], [Small Shelter], [Wall], [Gate], etc.

However, these buildings required a lot of stone and wood, as well as higher-level materials like fine iron.

Clearly, Cao Xing didn't have a piece of iron.

Moreover, the stone and wood near the campfire had already been used up.

In this icy world, where else could resources be gathered?

Cao Xing scanned his surroundings, suddenly his eyes lit up.

About a hundred to two hundred meters away, he could see a patch of snow-covered small woods and some large stones.

These should be the initial resource points.

Thus, Cao Xing took out four stone axes and four iron shovels from his backpack and handed them to the four Polar People.

Then he said, "Dazhuang, Erzhuang, you team up to chop wood over there."

"Sanzhuang, Sizhuang, you take the tools and go collect more stones."

The four Polar People straightened up immediately and respectfully said, "Yes, Lord!"

After speaking, they each took their tools and walked toward the snow outside the bonfire.

Because of their talents, they could work outside the bonfire for longer than Cao Xing and the others.

All four Polar People were sent out by Cao Xing to gather supplies.

Liu Muxue blinked her pretty eyes, "Axing, what should we do now?"

Looking at her frostbitten skin and face gradually turning pale.

At this rate, Liu Muxue would either freeze to death or fall seriously ill.

Getting sick in the snow was a troublesome matter.

Cao Xing said, "Sis-in-law, you should work indoors next, build the furnace and stove first."

"Okay."

Liu Muxue whispered in response, not forcing it further, and walked inside gracefully.

Cao Xing checked the remaining supplies.

[Food*50, Wood*27, Stone*17.]

"The most lacking material now should be stone, but wood is also essential, as we need it for warmth at night."

"Although the current temperature can barely get through the first night, it's still not very safe."

"So, let's upgrade the campfire."

The system prompt appeared.

[Do you want to consume Stone*10 to upgrade the campfire's level?]

Cao Xing clicked 'yes' and started clanging away.

A dozen minutes later.

Cao Xing saw the bonfire in front of him piled with stones over a meter high, gradually taking the shape of a furnace.

The roaring flames burned brightly.

[Campfire upgrade successful, current level: 3.]

[Campfire: Level 3]

[Bonfire Effect: Can increase temperature by 10~20℃ in a 40-meter radius area]

[Consumption]: 10 minutes/1 wood.

[Materials required for the next level]: Stone*20, Wood*10.

"Great, although the temperature hasn't increased, the heating range has doubled!"

But similarly, the consumption was greater, with 1 wood consumed every 10 minutes.

At this rate, the camp's wood wouldn't last long.

Once the wood was exhausted, they would lose their heat source, facing at least minus sixty degrees of harsh weather.

It wouldn't be long before they froze to death.

Cao Xing furrowed his brow, "Hopefully, those Polar People can gather wood smoothly..."

Working outside for too long, Cao Xing felt almost frozen stiff.

So, he also went into the Lord's Hut.

Inside the hut, due to the lack of lighting equipment, it appeared dim.

A shapely figure was building a stove in the corner.

She bent down, her long white silk legs were straight, and looking up, her hips were wrapped in a dress...

This pose accentuated her curves round like a bowling ball.

"Wow... so big," Cao Xing couldn't help but remark.

Liu Muxue thought Cao Xing was there to supervise the work, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and said softly, "Axing, the furnace is almost done."

Cao Xing shook his head, "Sis-in-law, let me help you."

"Okay..." Liu Muxue responded softly.

With Cao Xing's help, the construction of the furnace sped up significantly.

A few minutes later, a system prompt appeared.

[Level 1 Furnace construction successful...]

However, this time, Cao Xing didn't hear a reward prompt.

His mind was suddenly clear.

It seemed that the [Furnace] was such a basic building and wouldn't trigger rewards.

Of course, it was also possible that other survivor teams had already built it in advance.

This time, more than 7 billion people worldwide had landed in the snowy world, among them naturally would be many with amazing adaptability.

"Sizzle!"

As the sound of wood catching fire emerged, the furnace gradually emitted an orange-red glow, illuminating the entire Lord's Hut.

Currently, the Lord's Hut was empty; apart from a furnace, there was nothing else.

Near the furnace, the two felt waves of warmth coming over them.

Cao Xing glanced at the indoor temperature.

[Current temperature: -16℃]

Although still very cold, it was much better compared to the outside temperature of minus several dozen degrees.

Liu Muxue curled up her body, continually shivering.

Having been working without feeling it before, she now realized her body was already a mass of frostbite.

Cao Xing furrowed his brow, thinking.

'It seems the Sewing Shop should quickly be put on the schedule, considering our thin clothing is practically like being naked.'

'At this rate, let alone Liu Muxue, even I would freeze to death.'

A strong sense of crisis reemerged.

Cao Xing started to explore other functions in the Lord interface.

Clicking on the [Crafting] interface, a slew of basic tools appeared.

Such as: Stone Axe, Stone Hammer, Stone Pickaxe, Wooden Bowl, Wooden Table, Wooden Chair, Wooden Bed, etc...

Cao Xing reviewed them and got the gist.

"Here, I can craft simple work tools or furniture items."

Then, he began to check out the [Chat Channel] feature, revealing four options.

[World Channel: All servers, limited to one message per person per day]

[Regional Channel: This is a 500*500 kilometer square area, including all survivors in the area, with no message limit.]

[Team Channel: Only survivors within your territory can speak here, with no message limit.]

[Private Chat Channel: 1-on-1 unlimited chatting.]

...

Cao Xing opened the world channel and was greeted by a flood of information.

Zhao Shengbing: "Good heavens! Why did I suddenly come to this godforsaken place? I'm freezing to death!"

Chen Erya: "Help! So cold, so cold!"

Zhang Qiang: "Didn't the system say we'd be allocated according to family? Who are these folks? I don't know any of them!"

Bell Grylls: "A survival game? I like it; this presents an unprecedented challenge for me!"

Yamagami Tetsuya: "Let the boomstick once again shine brightly!"

Ma Dongxi: "Hey! Don't let me find out whose prank this is, or I'll smash his balls!"

...

: Child, You Are Invincible!

Cao Xing mused to himself, "Just as I expected, besides me, no one has played this game in advance, and everyone is in a state of utter ignorance."

"If they don't take action and quickly adapt to this world, a lot of people might die on the first night..."

Even though they were currently in a beginner protection period, and no monsters would attack the camp,

the cold at night was no joke.

Just then, Cao Xing heard a frantic knocking at the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Lord! Something has happened!"

"Lord... please help me!"

Hearing the cries for help, Cao Xing frowned, feeling a bad premonition.

He quickly tossed the Small Wooden Shield to Liu Muxue and took out a Wooden Magic Wand, preparing for battle.

When he pushed open the Lord's Hut door, he saw two Polar People huddled together, fear in their eyes.

Cao Xing asked, "What happened?"

Erzhuang quickly replied, "Lord! There's a snake!"

"In that grove, there's a huge Snow Poison Snake. It bit Dazhuang, and he's fading fast!"

Cao Xing looked over, and Dazhuang's face was turning purple, his body trembling.

At the same time, purple numbers of -2, -2 kept appearing above Dazhuang's head.

It was a sign of severe poisoning.

Seeing this, a look of concern also appeared in Liu Muxue's eyes.

Cao Xing checked Dazhuang's attributes.

[Polar People: Dazhuang]

[Level: 1 Level 0/100]

[Life Value: 52/140]

[Current Status: Poisoned (Level 1 Snake Venom)]

Seeing this poisoned status, Cao Xing felt relieved, "Don't worry, it's just Level 1 snake venom. Madame, just cast a Purification Skill."

Liu Muxue seemed a little confused, but she quickly understood.

Then, Liu Muxue raised her right hand, and a colorful Aurora condensed in her palm.

"May the Holy Aurora bless you!"

Liu Muxue's cool voice rang out.

With those words, the Aurora entered Dazhuang's body.

At the same time, Dazhuang felt a pure power surge in, melting the snake venom like ice and snow.

His complexion gradually improved.

Dazhuang gratefully said, "Thank you, great and kind lords!"

However, although Dazhuang was free from the snake venom, he still looked weak.

His Life Value had dropped to half, indicating he was in an injured state.

Without a Medical Room, treating injuries was troublesome.

Cao Xing checked his skill bar.

Besides an [Ice Ball Skill], there was an [Ice Healing Skill].

Then, Cao Xing raised his Magic Wand, and an unusual Frost Power gathered within it.

With a wave of his hand, the Frost Power surged into Dazhuang's body.

The next moment, green numbers of +3, +3 continuously appeared above Dazhuang's head.

Then, a system prompt appeared.

[Successful use of [Ice Healing Skill], talent [Eternal Power] activated, this skill has become a permanent state...]

Hearing this prompt, Cao Xing's jaw dropped in shock.

"Holy crap! Healing Skill works too?"

He recalled the introduction of this talent.

[Eternal Power]: Makes all friendly units within the territory, when receiving a temporary boost, permanently gain the boosted state.

But to have a Healing Skill also classified as a boost was something Cao Xing had never considered.

At that moment, sheer joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

Because it meant Dazhuang now had an infinite healing buff!

Watching Dazhuang's continuously recovering Life Value, Cao Xing couldn't help but marvel.

Kid, you're invincible!

Of course, Cao Xing's current spiritual strength was low, so he could only restore 3 Life Points.

Even though Dazhuang could heal infinitely, if he encountered an enemy that was too strong, a single slap could still end him, so he wasn't truly invincible.

Before long, Dazhuang's Life Value was fully restored, and he was lively once more.

At this moment, an excited Dazhuang exclaimed, "Lord, I feel a healing power within me, constantly restoring my life!"

Cao Xing nodded knowingly.

"Thank you, Lord. Your power is so great and vast!"

[Dazhuang's loyalty to you increased, current loyalty: 80.]

Cao Xing began pondering a question.

If the [Ice Healing Skill] could infinitely heal Polar People, then could it also work on him or Liu Muxue?

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then cast an [Ice Healing Skill] on Liu Muxue.

The same system prompt appeared.

[Successful use of [Ice Healing Skill], talent [Eternal Power] activated, this skill has become a permanent state...]

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue widened their eyes, and both saw the shock mirrored in each other's pupils.

Holy crap! This talent could also work on human survivors!

Cao Xing could only say, "This is incredible!"

This meant his survival capability would experience a qualitative leap!

He was eager to cast a green light on himself.

As he was about to raise his Magic Wand, his head suddenly felt dizzy, almost causing him to faint.

Cao Xing shook his head and quickly realized the reason.

"Because my spiritual power is insufficient, releasing two Ice Healing Skills is my limit?"

Restoring spiritual power requires rest or eating.

However, the urgent task now was to expel or kill the venomous snake in that grove.

Otherwise, the source of the territory's Wood would be cut off.

Currently, the team had two beings with infinite healing, and they should be able to handle ordinary beasts.

Cao Xing said directly, "Let's go, follow me to deal with that snake."

The two Polar People raised their Stone Axes and shouted, "Follow the Lord's steps!"

Then, he led Dazhuang, Erzhuang, and Liu Muxue out of the Lord's Hut.

As for Sizhuang and Sizhuang, they were busily transporting Stones into the territory.

[Stone +1]

[Stone +1]

System prompts appeared continuously.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

Before long, they stepped out of the Bonfire's range.

In an instant.

The temperature dropped by more than ten degrees!

The cold rushed in like invisible blades, continuously slicing through everyone.

Waves of stinging pain struck.

Liu Muxue instantly shrank, her body trembling with cold.

Even Cao Xing felt his body stiffen.

With temperatures at minus fifty degrees, without the Polar People's constitution and cold-resistant clothing, they couldn't last a few minutes before turning into icicles.

Fortunately, the grove Cao Xing headed for was not far from the Bonfire, just over a hundred meters away.

The four of them walked across the snow, leaving a trail of footprints.

Before long, they reached the small forest, where dozens of white birch trees were planted sparsely, their branches covered in ice and snow.

"Lord! That poison snake is over there!"

Following the direction of Dazhuang's point, Cao Xing indeed saw a large snake about two meters long, coiled on a tree branch.

"Hiss! Hiss hiss!"

The Snow Poison Snake, entirely snow-white, stuck out its crimson forked tongue at the four, posing a threat.

Cao Xing saw the attributes of the poison snake in front of him.

[Snow Poison Snake: Level 2]

[Race: Beast]

[Life Value: 160/160]

[Attack Power: 8~10]

[Attributes: Power 4, Agility 7, Spirit 5, Constitution 8]

[Skills: Raid, Neurotoxin]

[Note: This is a snake adapted to polar conditions, having undergone unknown evolutions.]

...

A Level 2 Beast, no wonder Dazhuang and Erzhuang together couldn't defeat it.

Even with Cao Xing, they would have to approach carefully to withstand it.

But now, things were different.

Because in his team, there were two beings with infinite healing!

Of course, Liu Muxue currently had no combat power.

Cao Xing brought her along just to help her adapt to the battle rhythm of this world.

Liu Muxue was a smart woman.

She understood Cao Xing's intention and was swiftly acclimating to everything in this world.

"Dazhuang, attack!" Cao Xing ordered directly.

As the words fell, Dazhuang charged forward with his Stone Axe raised.

With a loyalty of 80 points, he could basically follow orders without hesitation, never defying Cao Xing's commands.

"Hiss hiss!!!"

The Snow Poison Snake's body arched and then shot out like a spring!

Whoosh!

Like a white shadow, it flashed by in an instant, biting Dazhuang on the shoulder.

Its sharp fangs pierced through the thick icy snow clothing and into Dazhuang's flesh.

[-6]

The next moment, purple numbers of -2, -2 appeared once again above Dazhuang's head.

Dazhuang was poisoned again.

Yet, after a while, green numbers of +3, +3 emerged.

A look of joy appeared on Dazhuang's face.

"I have the Lord's blessing upon me! You, evil creature, can no longer harm me!"

With that, Dazhuang reached out his large hand and grabbed the Snow Poison Snake by the neck.

Then with a swing of the Stone Axe, he struck down.
