Your 'Milk Tea' Has Been Attacked

After speaking, Cao Xing blocked the other party directly.

Hundreds of kilometers away from Cao Xing, a human survivor was about to send another message when he saw a system prompt.

System Prompt: You have been blacklisted by the other party and cannot continue communication.

He froze on the spot, then angrily said, "Damn brat!"

After the trade was completed.

Cao Xing first gave the Iron Sword and Iron Shield to Liu Muxue.

Then, he began to teach Liu Muxue combat stances, hand-in-hand.

Cao Xing took Liu Muxue's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, you hold the shield with your left hand and use your right hand to attack the enemy with your weapon."

"With the Iron Sword you're using now, just remember the three simple moves: stab, slash, and chop."

Liu Muxue nodded shyly. She clumsily thrust her sword forward and looked at Cao Xing.

"Is... is this it?"

Cao Xing looked at her soft and weak stabbing motion. It was not only harmless but also seemed a little cute?

Was she trying to perform a sword dance for thugs?

Cao Xing shook his head, came behind Liu Muxue, placed one hand on the shield, and lifted her right hand.

"Sister-in-law, your sword stance should be like this."

At this moment, Liu Muxue felt Cao Xing behind her, her face filled with shyness.

He grabbed Liu Muxue's wrist and thrust the sword forward.

This sword strike cut through the air.

"Mmm..."

Liu Muxue let out a soft moan.

The previous movement was too large, and their bodies were pressed tightly together.

Cao Xing could even feel the sensation from her rounded buttocks.

"Cough cough!"

Cao Xing quickly took half a step back, maintaining a safe distance.

Liu Muxue naturally also felt the contact from behind just now, her face turning extremely red, and her legs even felt a little weak.

But she still gritted her teeth and persisted in learning.

Cao Xing began to continue teaching Liu Muxue sword practice.

Because she was diligently absorbing the knowledge Cao Xing was imparting, Liu Muxue quickly got into the zone.

Half an hour later, both of them were slightly sweating before they gradually separated.

Liu Muxue began to repeatedly practice the movements guided by Cao Xing.

Cao Xing, on the side, nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he checked his territory resources.

Food: Bread*45, Snake Meat*10, Wolf Meat*111

Wood*92, Coal*107, Stone*45, Iron*100

Cao Xing pondered, "The bonfire and stove consumed a lot of coal last night, but it also saved me a lot of wood."

"Now that 8 Polar Humans are mining resources together, the efficiency is much faster."

"After today, I should be able to build both the Tailor Shop and the Blacksmith Shop."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

This progress was quite fast. While most survivors were still in the exploration phase, Cao Xing's territory had already begun to take shape.

Next, as long as he continued to develop at this pace, he would soon be able to upgrade the territory level and build more advanced buildings.

Then, he could set up a barracks and train these Polar Humans into combat units!

Combined with Cao Xing's talent, they would be monsters that could heal infinitely!

The future was full of hope!

Just then, a system prompt interrupted Cao Xing's thoughts.

System Prompt: Your territory member: Assam has been attacked...

Seeing this prompt, Cao Xing's heart sank.

Damn it! My milk tea... no, my knight is under attack?

Who could it be?

One must know that Assam is already a level 10 knight. With the Frost Wolf beneath him, he is basically unrivaled by anyone below Tier 1.

This situation now indicates that Assam has encountered a formidable enemy!

The same prompt was heard by Liu Muxue beside him.

She came to Cao Xing's side, a worried look appearing in her eyes.

Cao Xing comforted her, "It's fine. Assam has the four permanent buffs we applied. As long as he's not instantly killed, his abilities should be enough for him to survive."

After waiting for a few minutes, they hadn't heard any news of Assam's death.

Cao Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two gazed at the direction Assam had left earlier, hoping for his safe return.

More than ten minutes later, Cao Xing saw a sturdy figure walking back, limping.

It was the Frost Wolf Knight, Assam.

Seeing this, Cao Xing immediately took out his Barrett and went to Assam's side.

Liu Muxue and Ilena also quickly walked over.

"What happened?" Cao Xing asked, carrying the Barrett and scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Assam jumped down from the Frost Wolf's back and knelt on one knee, saying, "My Lord, I am truly sorry!"

"Your subordinate encountered a powerful enemy outside. Neither I nor Winter were a match for it in a single blow!"

"If it weren't for the Strength buff you applied beforehand, we might not have made it back..."

Hearing this, Cao Xing frowned, then he glanced at the Frost Wolf's status.

He noticed a change in Winter's health bar.

Frost Wolf: Winter Health: 1386/15402

Status: Fracture (Health cap reduced by 10%, movement speed reduced by 20%)

Cao Xing said, "Tell me specifically what you encountered."

"Yes, my Lord!"

Then, Assam began to recount their experience.

After Cao Xing listened, he frowned, "You mean, about three kilometers from the camp, there's a powerful Snowland Savage Bear, and that bear can also discharge electricity?"

"Ramen Bear has arrived."

Assam respectfully replied, "Yes, my Lord. That bear is incredibly strong; one slap could send both me and Winter flying!"

"Its strength is too great; only second-tier knights from the clan can defeat it!"

Cao Xing pondered.

A second-tier knight can deal with it, meaning this monster's level is at least 10 or above.

Furthermore, judging by Assam's description, this bear can also discharge electricity, so it's likely not that simple.

Thinking this, Cao Xing nodded, "Assam, heal Winter's injuries, and then take me to the place where you discovered the bear."

Assam seemed a bit surprised, "My Lord, are you saying you're going to deal with that bear?"

Cao Xing shook his head, "I didn't say we're definitely dealing with it. We'll go observe its strength first."

The Snowland Savage Bear is only 3 kilometers away from their camp; this is too unsettling!

Once the novice protection period ends in four days, this bear will easily destroy Cao Xing's territory!

Moreover, even during the novice protection period, if the Snowland Savage Bear approaches, it will pose a significant threat to Cao Xing.

The Polar Humans gathering resources outside the camp would all fall victim to its brutality.

Even Liu Muxue's eyes showed a look of worry.

"A Xing..."

Cao Xing shook his head, "Don't worry, Sister-in-law. We'll just take a look from afar."

"However, it shouldn't be a big problem. If it dares to come over, I'll put a few holes in its body!"

With that, Cao Xing displayed the Barrett in his hand.

With this ultimate weapon, monsters below level 20 basically have no match.

Liu Muxue nodded.

Beside them, Assam was already treating the Frost Wolf's fractured leg.

A 'crack' sound was heard.

"Wuwu..."

The Frost Wolf let out a muffled groan, and a damage number of -172 appeared above its head.

Soon, green numbers of +5, +5 began to pop up.

Having the "Eternal Power" talent is convenient.

Otherwise, with Assam and the Frost Wolf's massive health pools, recovery would not only consume a lot of their resources but also take much more time.

Two to three minutes later.

"My Lord, Winter has recovered," Assam said respectfully from the side.

Cao Xing nodded, "Now, lead the way ahead."

"As you command, Lord!"

Assam mounted the Frost Wolf again and headed out into the snow.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Heavy footsteps echoed.

Cao Xing approached with Ilena and Liu Muxue.

Half an hour later.

They arrived at the foot of a snow-covered mountain.

Ahead, a deep, dark cave seemed visible.

A ferocious aura emanated faintly from within.

As they drew closer, a system prompt appeared before their eyes.

Snowfield Savage Bear's Lair (Blue): A powerful creature lives inside. It is the overlord of the vicinity, extremely dangerous, approach with caution!

Cao Xing frowned.

Even the system warned of extreme danger, meaning the monster inside was no ordinary powerhouse!

"Lord, shall I lure it out?" Frost Wolf Knight Assam volunteered.

Cao Xing asked, "Can you guarantee your own safety?"

Assam nodded, "Rin Winter and I both have the Strength you granted us, Lord. As long as we're careful, escaping won't be a problem."

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then go ahead."

"As you command!"

Assam, riding his Frost Wolf, quickly circled around to the other side of the snowfield, about five hundred meters away from Cao Xing and the others.

Then, the Frost Wolf beneath him let out a roar.

"Awoooo!!"

The sound was loud and piercing!

The next moment, a roar like that of an ancient beast erupted from the cave.

"ROAR!!!"

The roar was so powerful that the sound waves, like a physical force, sent snow flying from near the cave.

Cao Xing and the others felt an oppressive pressure.

He immediately raised his Iron Sword and lay down on the snow.

Just then, Cao Xing felt the ground beneath him tremble.

Thump! Thump-thump!

It sounded like something was charging towards them at high speed.

Then, a colossal creature, entirely snow-white and at least eight meters in size, burst out of the cave!

"ROAR!!!"

A terrifying roar echoed across the entire snowfield!
