Iron Rails and Mine Carts, Taking Them All

Cao Xing's eyes lit up, this stuff is good!

Some mechanical creations in this world require energy to operate, and that energy comes from Magic Stones.

In the later stages, Energy Towers and other buildings will need Magic Stones to provide power.

This thing is like elemental crystals, it's also a hard currency.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Assam, Andrew, take down all the Magic Stone Torches for me."

The two complied, removing the torches one by one.

Magic Stone Torch +1

Magic Stone Torch +1

System prompts kept appearing in Cao Xing's ears.

Then, Cao Xing saw the Iron Rails on the ground, and the Mine Carts lying on their sides.

Abandoned Mine Cart (White): A mining tool of the Mole People.

(You can dismantle it to obtain 8 Iron, or bring it back to your Territory and repair it with 4 Iron.)

Iron Rail (White): Can be used to build an Iron Rail, speeding up mineral transport.

(Can be dismantled to obtain 4 Iron.)

Cao Xing's eyes lit up again.

These two are also good things!

As long as there are enough Iron Rails, he could even build a track near his Territory, connecting it to the Mine Cave.

This would greatly speed up the extraction of minerals.

Take it! Take it all!

Cao Xing directly put away all these Mine Carts and Iron Rails.

Obtained Abandoned Mine Cart (White) *1

Obtained Iron Rail (White) *1

Obtained...

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

From this entrance area, he harvested a total of 17 Magic Stone Torches, 3 Abandoned Mine Carts, and 15 sections of Iron Rail.

(1 section of Iron Rail = 1 meter in length.)

The harvest was quite good.

Cao Xing continued to lead his people forward.

After walking for a short while, they heard the sound of "clang, clang" chipping coming from ahead.

Upon closer inspection, they saw dozens of short, stubby-limbed creatures with rat-like heads.

Mole Miner: Level 5 Race: Beast Health: 440

Attack Power: 41~45

Attributes: Strength 21, Agility 15, Spirit 18, Constitution 22

Skills: Chisel Strike (Wields a pickaxe to deal 110% of Attack Power damage to the enemy)

Attack Power: 57~59

Cower (When Health drops below 30%, the Mole Supervisor's movement speed increases by 20%, and they will attempt to flee.)

Talent: Night Vision.

Seeing Andrew and the others approach.

These Mole People immediately let out threatening "jijiji" sounds. The Mole Supervisor waved the long whip in his hand.

"They are intruders, go and eliminate them!"

These Mole People, fearing the whip in the Supervisor's hand, picked up their pickaxes and charged towards Cao Xing and his group.

"Jiji! Jijijiji!"

Cao Xing didn't need to say anything.

Assam, Andrew, and Frost Wolf Winter charged forward together.

"Roar!"

The narrow mine cave was immediately filled by the three behemoths.

Andrew charged ahead like a maddened giant bear, barreling across the ground and sending Mole People flying.

BOOM! BOOM BOOM!

-173

-178

-164

Damage numbers floated up one by one.

With Andrew's terrifying Strength, the impact damage alone was enough to drain a significant amount of Health from these Mole People.

The Mole People who fell to the ground didn't even have time to get up before Assam's longsword pierced them.

-437!

Assam's strike directly pierced its head, dealing critical damage.

Your Territory Citizen: Assam has killed Mole People Lv5, gaining 50 Experience Points. You have gained 25 Experience Points...

Meanwhile, Winter, the Frost Wolf beside him, tackled a Mole Person and began to tear into it ferociously.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

In just one engagement, the Mole Miners were routed.

What was even more terrifying was.

A cold glint continued to flash in the darkness.

Each time the cold glint appeared, it brought with it a terrifying damage number.

-704

-753

-1614!

Mole People, without even a chance to scream, were instantly slain.

Your Territory Citizen: Sarah Blade Dance has killed Mole People Lv6, gaining 60 Experience Points. You have gained 30 Experience Points...

Experience gain notifications continued to pour in.

Cao Xing exclaimed in surprise from the rear, "Whoa! That damage!"

"As expected of a Level 20 Elite Assassin, cutting through them like butter!"

Sarah's Attack Power was incredibly potent, and Cao Xing couldn't stop smiling from behind.

He and Liu Muxue stood in the back, not even needing to lift a finger.

The number of Mole People gradually decreased.

Despite their large numbers, they couldn't withstand this terrifying rate of slaughter.

Even the Mole Supervisor's eyes showed a hint of fear.

Experience notifications continued to chime.

Before long, a white light enveloped Liu Muxue.

She exclaimed excitedly, "A Xing, I leveled up!"

"Congratulations," Cao Xing said with a smile.

He glanced at Liu Muxue's current Attributes.

Survivor: Liu Muxue Race: Blue Star Human Race Level: 3 (20/2000) Detailed Attributes: Click to expand

Cao Xing nodded.

After reaching Level 3, Liu Muxue's Attributes had increased significantly again.

Combined with her equipment and all those BUFF bonuses.

Her current Defense was much stronger than some Level Seven or Eight wild monsters.

Liu Muxue said softly, "A Xing, the system prompt says I've entered the top twenty on the leaderboard. It seems like more people have reached Level 3 now."

Cao Xing replied, "It's fine, leveling up is still fast in the early stages. The difficulty will increase later on."

"Our speed is something most survivors probably can't match."

Liu Muxue nodded gently.

Cao Xing checked his own Experience Points.

Level 4 (41%)

He was still ranked first.

Below him, Zhou Bo, Fang Long, and the others were also chasing hard.

Liu Muxue looked at the battlefield ahead and then tentatively asked, "A Xing, can I go fight too?"

Cao Xing saw the seriousness on her face and knew it was indeed time for Liu Muxue to gain more experience.

Moreover, with her current defense, taking a hit from a Mole Miner wouldn't be a problem.

So, Cao Xing nodded and said, "Go ahead, Muxue. Be careful."

"Okay, A Xing, I will be careful."

Liu Muxue took a deep breath, raised her shield, gripped her longsword in her right hand, and charged forward.

She quickly engaged a Mole Miner.

The Mole Miner opened its mouth, full of sharp teeth, then swung its Iron Pickaxe, fiercely attacking Liu Muxue's shield.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

The Mole Miner continuously attacked with its Iron Pickaxe.

Liu Muxue gritted her teeth, struggling to withstand the enemy's assault.

-13

Faint damage numbers floated above her head.

However, the next second, her Health was instantly refilled by the Ice Healing Technique.

+10

+10

Green recovery numbers floated up.
