Child, You Are Invincible

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Just as I expected—aside from me, no one has played this game before. Everyone is in a state of complete confusion."

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

Even though they were currently in the newbie protection period, with no monster attacks on the camp, the low temperatures at night were no joke.

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

Bang bang bang!

"Lord! Something's wrong!"

"Lord... save me!"

Hearing the cries for help, Cao Xing frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

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

Pushing open the door of the lord's hut, he saw two Polar People huddled together, fear in their eyes.

Cao Xing asked, "What happened?"

Erzhuang, standing nearby, quickly replied, "Lord! A snake!"

"There's a huge Snow Viper in that forest area. It bit Dazhuang—he's almost done for!"

Cao Xing's gaze shifted. Dazhuang's face was purple, and his whole body trembled incessantly.

At the same time, purple numbers kept floating up from above Dazhuang's head: -2, -2.

This was a sign of severe poisoning.

Seeing this, Liu Muxue's eyes also filled with worry.

Cao Xing checked Dazhuang's stats.

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

HP: 52/140

Current Status: Poisoned (Level 1 Snake Venom)

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

Liu Muxue seemed a bit confused at first, but after a moment, she caught on.

Then, she raised her right hand, and a cluster of Colorful Aurora gathered in her palm.

"May the Sacred Aurora bless you!"

Liu Muxue's clear, cool voice rang out.

As she spoke, the cluster of aurora entered Dazhuang's body.

At the same time, Dazhuang felt a surge of holy power flow into him, and the snake venom inside him melted away like snow and ice.

His complexion gradually improved.

Dazhuang said with deep gratitude, "Thank you, great and merciful Lords!"

However, though the snake venom was gone, Dazhuang still looked weak.

His HP had dropped to half, leaving him in an injured state.

Without a medical room, treating injuries was troublesome.

Cao Xing looked at his skill list.

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

Then, Cao Xing raised his staff, and a strange frost power gathered around it.

He waved his hand, and the frost power surged into Dazhuang's body.

The next moment, green numbers kept floating up from above Dazhuang's head: +3, +3.

Then, a system notification appeared.

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

So that's how you use a temporary buff? Hearing this notification, Cao Xing's jaw dropped in shock.

"Holy crap! Healing works too?"

He recalled the description of that talent.

Eternal Power: All friendly units within the territory, when receiving a temporary buff, will instead receive that buff permanently.

But that healing was also classified as a type of buff—this Cao Xing had never expected.

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

Because in other words, Dazhuang now had an infinite HP regeneration buff!

Watching Dazhuang's HP steadily recover, Cao Xing couldn't help but marvel.

Kid, you're invincible!

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

Even if Dazhuang could regenerate health infinitely, if he encountered an enemy too strong, one slap could kill him—he wasn't truly invincible yet.

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

At this moment, Dazhuang said excitedly, "Lord, I feel a healing power inside me, constantly restoring my life!"

Cao Xing nodded.

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

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

Cao Xing began to ponder a question.

Ice Healing Technique could let Polar People regenerate health infinitely—could it work on himself, or on Liu Muxue?

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then cast Ice Healing Technique on Liu Muxue.

The same system prompt appeared.

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

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue's eyes went wide, and they both saw the shock in each other's pupils.

Holy shit! This talent could actually work on human survivors too!

Cao Xing could only say—this was too awesome!

With this, his own survival ability would leap in quality!

He couldn't wait to cast a green light on himself.

But just as he was about to raise his staff, a wave of dizziness hit his brain, and he nearly passed out.

Cao Xing shook his head, quickly figuring out the reason.

"Because my mental strength isn't enough—casting two Ice Healing Techniques is my limit?"

Mental strength recovered through rest or eating.

But for now, the top priority was to drive away or kill the venomous snake in that forest area.

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

Currently, the team had two members with infinite health regeneration, which should be enough to handle ordinary wild monsters.

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

The two Polar People raised their stone axes and shouted, "Following the Lord's footsteps!"

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

As for Sanzhuang and Sizhuang, they were busy hauling stones into the territory.

Stone +1

Stone +1

System prompts kept appearing.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

Before long, they stepped out of the bonfire's coverage.

In an instant.

The temperature dropped by over ten degrees!

The cold struck suddenly, like invisible blades constantly slicing across their bodies.

A series of stabbing pains hit them.

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

Even Cao Xing felt his body growing stiff.

The minus fifty-degree weather was terrifying. Without the Polar People's physique or cold-resistant clothing, they would freeze into popsicles in just a few minutes.

Fortunately, the forest area Cao Xing was heading to was only a hundred meters from the fire.

The four of them walked across the snow, leaving footprints one after another.

Soon, they arrived at this small grove, where dozens of white birch trees were sparsely planted, their branches covered in frost and snow.

"Lord! That venomous snake is right there!"

Following the direction Dazhuang pointed, Cao Xing saw on a large tree branch a snake about two meters long, its entire body coiled around the branch.

"Hiss! Hiss hiss!"

This snake was pure white all over, sticking out its crimson forked tongue at the four of them in a threatening manner.

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, Spirit 5, Constitution 8

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

A level 2 beast creature—no wonder Dazhuang and Erzhuang together couldn't beat it.

Even with Cao Xing added, they'd need to tread carefully to stand a chance.

But now, things were different.

Because his team had two members with infinite health regeneration!

Of course, Liu Muxue wasn't much of a fighter yet.

Cao Xing had brought her along just to help her adapt to this world's combat rhythm.

Liu Muxue was a clever woman.

She understood Cao Xing's intent and was absorbing everything about this world as fast as she could.

"Dazhuang, go!" Cao Xing ordered directly.

The moment the words left his mouth, Dazhuang charged forward with his stone axe raised.

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

"Hiss!!!"

The Snow Viper's body instantly arched, then sprang like a shot!

Like a white streak flashing past, it sank its fangs into Dazhuang's shoulder in an instant.

The sharp venomous teeth pierced through the thick snow coat and into Dazhuang's flesh.

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

Dazhuang was poisoned again.

But soon, green numbers— +3, +3—popped up.

A look of joy spread across Dazhuang's face.

"I have the blessing bestowed upon me by Lord! You vile creature, you can no longer harm me!"

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

Then he swung his axe down in a single chop.
