Child, You're Invincible

Cao Xing mused, Just as I expected, aside from me, no one else has played this game before. Everyone is still confused and clueless.

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

Although they were currently in the beginner protection period, and no monsters would attack the camp,

the low temperatures at night were no joke.

Just then, Cao Xing heard frantic knocking outside the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Lord! Something happened!"

"Lord... save me!"

Hearing the cries for help, Cao Xing frowned, immediately sensing that something was wrong.

He hurriedly tossed the small wooden shield to Liu Muxue, then took out a wooden staff and assumed a combat stance.

After pushing open the door to the lord's cabin, he saw two Polar People huddled together, fear filling their eyes.

Cao Xing asked, "What happened?"

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

"There's a huge Snow Viper in that patch of woods! It bit Dazhuang, and he's almost done for!"

Cao Xing looked over and saw Dazhuang's face had turned purple, his whole body trembling without stop.

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

It was a sign of severe poisoning.

Liu Muxue's eyes filled with worry at the sight.

Cao Xing checked Dazhuang's attributes.

Polar People: Dazhuang Level: 1 (0/100)

Health: 52/140

Current Status: Poisoned (Level 1 Snake Venom)

Seeing the poisoned status, Cao Xing relaxed instead. "Don't worry. It's only Level 1 snake venom. Sister-in-law, just cast Purification."

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

Then, Liu Muxue raised her right hand, and a mass of Colorful Aurora condensed in her palm.

"May Sacred Aurora bestow its blessing upon you!"

Liu Muxue's cool voice rang out.

As soon as she finished speaking, the aurora entered Dazhuang's body.

At the same time, Dazhuang felt a holy power surge into him, and the snake venom in his body melted away like ice and snow.

His complexion gradually improved.

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

However, although the snake venom had been removed, Dazhuang still looked weak.

His health had fallen to half, leaving him injured.

Without an infirmary, treating injuries was rather troublesome.

Cao Xing looked at his skill bar.

Besides Ice Ball, he also had the Ice Healing Technique.

Then, Cao Xing raised his staff as waves of strange frost power gathered within it.

With one hand, he waved the frost power into Dazhuang's body.

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

Then, a system prompt appeared.

[Ice Healing Technique successfully cast. Talent Eternal Power has taken effect. This skill has become a permanent status...]

So this was how you used a temporary buff? Hearing the prompt, Cao Xing's jaw nearly dropped.

"Holy shit! Healing spells count too?"

He recalled the talent's description.

Eternal Power: When all friendly units within the territory gain a temporary enhancement status, they gain that enhancement permanently instead.

But he had never expected healing spells to be classified as an enhancement status.

At that moment, Cao Xing's eyes filled with wild delight.

In other words, Dazhuang now had an infinite healing buff!

Watching Dazhuang's health continuously recover, Cao Xing could not help but sigh.

Child, you're invincible!

Of course, Cao Xing's current mental strength was not high, so he could only restore 3 health points at a time.

Even with unlimited healing, Dazhuang would not be truly invincible if he encountered an enemy powerful enough to kill him in one hit.

Before long, Dazhuang's health had fully recovered, and he became lively again.

Dazhuang said excitedly, "Lord, I can feel a healing power inside my body. It's constantly restoring my life!"

Cao Xing nodded.

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

Dazhuang's loyalty toward you has increased. Current loyalty: 80.

Cao Xing began considering something.

If the Ice Healing Technique could give Polar People unlimited healing, could it work on himself or Liu Muxue as well?

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing cast Ice Healing Technique on Liu Muxue.

The same system prompt appeared.

[Ice Healing Technique successfully cast. Talent Eternal Power has taken effect. This skill has become a permanent status...]

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue widened their eyes, both seeing shock in the other's gaze.

Holy shit! This talent worked on human survivors too!

Cao Xing could only say that it was insanely powerful!

With this, his ability to survive would undergo a qualitative leap!

He could not wait to cast a healing spell on himself too.

But just as he raised his staff, waves of dizziness flooded his mind, and he nearly fainted.

Cao Xing shook his head and quickly understood why.

"So my mental power is insufficient, and casting two Ice Healing Techniques is already my limit?"

Mental power could only be restored through rest or food.

However, the most urgent matter now was driving away or killing the venomous snake in that patch of woods.

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

With two members who had unlimited healing, they should be able to handle ordinary wild monsters.

Cao Xing said directly, "Come with me. Let's deal with that snake."

The two Polar People raised their stone axes and shouted, "We shall follow in the lord's footsteps!"

Then, he led Dazhuang, Erzhuang, and Liu Muxue out of the lord's cabin.

As for Sanzhuang and Sizhuang, they were currently working hard to carry stones into the territory.

Stone +1

Stone +1

System prompts kept appearing.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

Before long, they stepped beyond the range illuminated by the campfire.

In an instant,

the temperature plummeted by more than ten degrees!

A sudden wave of cold swept over them, like invisible blades constantly cutting across their bodies.

Stinging pain struck them in waves.

Liu Muxue immediately curled up, shivering violently from the cold.

Even Cao Xing felt his body gradually stiffening.

The minus-fifty-degree weather was terrifying. Without the Polar People's constitution and cold-resistant clothing, they would freeze into ice sculptures within minutes.

Fortunately, the woods Cao Xing was heading for were not far from the fire, only a little over a hundred meters away.

The group of four walked through the snow, leaving footprints behind them.

Before long, they arrived at the small forest, where dozens of white birch trees stood sparsely scattered, their branches covered in ice and snow.

"Lord! That venomous snake is over there!"

Following where Dazhuang pointed, Cao Xing indeed spotted a large snake about two meters long, its entire body coiled around the branch of a large tree.

"Hiss! Hissss!"

The venomous snake was snow-white from head to tail. It flicked its crimson tongue at the four of them in warning.

The snake's attributes appeared before Cao Xing.

Snow Viper: Level 2 Race: Beast Health: 160/160

Attack: 8–10

Attributes: Strength 4, Agility 7, Mental 5, Constitution 8

Skills: Ambush, Neurotoxin Note: A venomous snake adapted to the polar environment that has undergone an unknown evolution.

A Level 2 beast—no wonder Dazhuang and Erzhuang together had been unable to defeat it.

Even with Cao Xing added to the fight, they would likely need to proceed carefully to stand against it.

But things were different now.

Because his team had two members with unlimited healing!

Of course, Liu Muxue did not have any combat power yet.

Cao Xing had brought her along only to help her adapt to this world's rhythm of battle.

Liu Muxue was a smart woman.

She understood Cao Xing's intentions and was accepting everything about this world as quickly as she could.

"Dazhuang, go!" Cao Xing gave the order directly.

The moment he spoke, Dazhuang charged forward with his stone axe raised.

With loyalty as high as 80, he could basically obey every command without hesitation and would not defy Cao Xing's orders.

"Hisss!!!"

The Snow Viper's body instantly arched, then it shot forward!

Like a streak of white shadow, it instantly bit down on Dazhuang's shoulder.

Its sharp venomous fangs pierced through the thick snow gear and sank into Dazhuang's flesh.

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

Dazhuang had been poisoned again.

However, green +3, +3 numbers soon appeared.

Joy appeared on Dazhuang's face.

"I have the blessing bestowed upon me by the lord! You evil creature can no longer harm me!"

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

Then he brought his axe down.
