Phantom Assassin Recruitment Scroll

Not only Cao Xing, but Liu Muxue, who was beside him, also heard the system prompt and asked in confusion, "A Xing, I seem to have gained experience too."

"But I didn't help in the fight?"

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and quickly understood the reason.

Although Liu Muxue did not participate in the battle.

She had applied the Aurora Blessing status to Andrew and Assam, which could add extra damage.

This meant that the system considered Liu Muxue to have participated in the battle as well.

And Cao Xing, who had applied the Ice Armor Technique and Ice Healing Technique, was also considered a participant in the battle.

Even Ilena, who was guarding the Territory, had applied BUFF status to the Druid.

Joy appeared on Cao Xing's face. This feature was amazing!

"Muxue, this is a good thing!"

"This way, as long as we recruit enough powerful followers, we can just cast status effects on them and then ignore them."

"When the time comes, we can send all these followers out, and we can level up just by sitting in the Territory."

More importantly, this also increased their chances of winning the leaderboard rewards!

Liu Muxue's face also showed a hint of joy after hearing this.

Then, she stayed by Cao Xing's side.

The two watched the one-sided slaughter unfolding in the camp.

Assam, at this moment, charged directly into the center of the camp, facing the encirclement of seven or eight Rangers alone.

There were also two Rangers shooting arrows nearby.

However, their arrows struck Assam's armor, and two extremely tiny damage numbers appeared on it.

The Rangers' Attack Power was acceptable; at least it could deal a little damage to Assam.

But the damage was too low.

It could be said that their defense was breached, but it wasn't really.

The next second, green "+10, +10" numbers appeared above Assam's head.

The Rangers were completely dumbfounded.

What kind of game is this?

The amount of health they healed was more than the damage they dealt. This is too unfair!

I want to report! Someone is cheating!

Assam, however, didn't care about their thoughts.

With 95 Loyalty, he would prioritize Cao Xing's orders.

That was to kill all these Rangers.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

He wielded the Frost Wolf Swordplay with great vigor.

Every sword strike was guaranteed to take the life of a Ranger.

The Frost Wolf also followed him, constantly leaping around the camp, changing positions.

Assam, a Tier 2 unit, was simply invincible!

[Your Territory member Assam has killed Ranger Lv4, gaining 40 Experience Points.] [You have gained 20 Experience Points.]

And Andrew, who was beside him, was even more terrifying.

It directly transformed into its destructive form, flipping over tents one after another.

The Rangers hiding inside were also easily dragged out by Andrew and then killed with a single claw strike.

Under normal circumstances, Andrew exuded a sage-like tranquility and wisdom.

But in combat, it was like a berserk beast!

"Roar!!"

After a terrifying roar, Andrew pinned a Lv6 Ranger Scout and smashed its head in.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue kept seeing the 'Gained Experience Points' notifications.

Before long, a white light appeared on Liu Muxue.

She had leveled up.

Leveling up from 1 to 2 was quite simple, only requiring 100 Experience Points.

However, leveling up from 2 to 3 would require 1000 Experience Points.

After that, each level up would require an additional 1000 Experience Points.

And just then, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the tent in the innermost part of the camp.

He seemed to know how terrifying Andrew and Assam were. The moment he rushed out of the camp, he bolted towards the outside of the snowy area, with no intention of fighting at all.

Cao Xing took a quick glance and saw the opponent's attributes.

Ranger Captain Lv10

Race: Human Attack Power: 172~184

Health: 1540

Skills: Cruel Cut (Deals 2 hits of 80% Attack Power damage to the enemy, with a Level 1 Bleed effect)

Greased Heels (Increases movement speed by 30% during escape)

"Whoa, this is the captain from inside!"

Cao Xing immediately shouted, "Don't let him escape!"

This guy, although he was just a normal Lv10 monster, not yet advanced.

But that 'Greased Heels' skill was truly outrageous, perfect for escaping.

Just then, Andrew suddenly roared.

"Roar!!"

He transformed from his original human form into a giant bear covered in white fur, charging out like a cannonball.

The burst of speed instantly surpassed that of the Icefield Giant Bear.

This was Andrew's skill, Giant Bear Form.

Thump! Thump-thump!

The ground trembled continuously.

In Giant Bear Form, Andrew's all attributes surged by 30%. Combined with Ilena's Serpentfolk Berserk, it added another 20% to his movement speed.

Andrew easily caught up to the fleeing Ranger Captain.

Then, under the captain's terrified gaze.

Andrew let out a roar.

"Roar!!!"

His massive bear paw swiped down.

Slam!!

This Ranger Boss was instantly smashed into a pulp of meat.

A vibrant flower made of flesh and blood appeared on the cold snowy ground.

This bloody scene made Liu Muxue's face turn pale.

But she gritted her teeth, forcing herself to accept it.

Because she knew that if she were to participate in battles from now on, such scenes would be commonplace.

Cao Xing heard a system prompt in his ear.

Your Territory Member: Andrew has killed Ranger Captain Lv10, gaining 300 Experience Points.

You have gained Experience Points: 150.

Just then, a white light rose from Cao Xing's body.

Your level has been increased. Current Level: 4.

This level-up granted you: Strength +2, Agility +2, Spirit +4, Constitution +2.

Cao Xing rejoiced, "I leveled up again!"

A surge of energy flowed through him.

His mind became clearer, and his body felt more invigorated.

"Woohoo, this feeling of leveling up is truly great!"

Soon, Assam also finished his fight.

All the Rangers in the camp had been wiped out.

The ground was littered with dismembered bodies and severed limbs.

A system prompt appeared.

You have destroyed a Ranger Camp. Territory Reputation +50.

Notice! Because you have completed a high-difficulty subjugation, based on your strength assessment, you have received an additional reward: Phantom Assassin Recruitment Scroll (Blue)*1.

"Huh, another blue recruitment scroll?"

Cao Xing's eyes lit up. He checked the attributes of this scroll.

Phantom Assassin Recruitment Scroll (Blue): This scroll can be used to summon a Phantom Assassin with the strength of an Elite Lv20.

"Holy crap! A level 20 Elite creature, even tougher than Andrew!"

Cao Xing's eyes were filled with intense shock, followed by elation!

It was obvious that this recruitment scroll would significantly boost his strength again.

However, he didn't summon it immediately. Instead, he led Liu Muxue towards the camp.

"Let's clean up the battlefield first."

Then, the two of them entered the camp.

Before them was a scene of disarray, even the bonfire had been extinguished.

Cao Xing approached the corpse of a Ranger and was about to interact with it.

A System Prompt appeared.

Humanoid creature, cannot be decomposed.

Cao Xing's mouth twitched.

What does this system think I am? I wasn't planning on decomposing it!

This is slander, utter slander!

Despite his words, Cao Xing still reached out and searched the bodies of these Rangers.

Obtained Ranger Mask (White) * 1, Obtained Tier 1 Soldier Training Manual (White) * 1, Obtained Coin * 15

"A mask?"

Cao Xing's gaze was puzzled, and he then checked its attributes.
