Demon Spider Staff, Opening the Silver Treasure Chest

Cao Xing glanced at Frost Wolf Winter beside him.

It was also a Level 10 creature, meeting the advancement requirements.

If it were also advanced to Tier 2, then all his recruited creatures, except Ilena, would be Tier 2!

Thus, he handed the Heart of Strength to Assam.

"Assam, go ahead and let your Winter complete its advancement. A powerful knight needs a powerful mount to unleash their combat power."

Hearing this, Assam tremblingly took the crimson crystal from Cao Xing's hand.

He looked at Cao Xing gratefully, saying no more.

Instead, he turned and went directly to Frost Wolf Winter.

"Winter, accept the power bestowed by Lord!"

"Together, we shall swear to defend Lord's honor with our lives!"

With that, he threw the power crystal directly.

Frost Wolf Winter seemed to know that this was something that could make it stronger.

The moment Assam threw the crystal, it opened its great maw and bit down.

Crack!

The sound of the crystal shattering echoed, and a powerful force surged within it.

In an instant, Winter's aura began to grow at a terrifying speed!

Cao Xing saw that Winter's already thick limbs had now grown two sizes larger.

Not only that, but its size was still rapidly increasing!

From its original three meters in length, it directly ballooned to nearly four meters.

"Roar!"

A terrifying roar echoed through the cave.

This ferocious giant wolf, just standing there, exuded a strong sense of pressure!

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction once more.

Next was the final reward, the Demon Spider Staff (Blue).

This was the first blue equipment Cao Xing had obtained, and he was very much looking forward to its stats.

Demon Spider Staff (Blue)

Quality: Fine Attack Power: 31~37

Special Effect ①: Spirit + 10

Special Effect ②: Primary Mana Boost (When casting magical attacks, 40% chance to increase this attack's magic damage by 10%)

Special Effect ③: Command Demon Spiders (Summon 5 Level 10 Tier 1 Demon Spiders to aid in combat. Demon Spiders last for 60 seconds. Special Effect Cooldown: 300 seconds)

Ruins Girl?

After reading the equipment description, joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Is this blue equipment? So powerful!"

Not only did it increase his Spirit Power by 10 points, but it also came with a special effect to summon Demon Spiders.

He equipped it directly, and his Spirit Power increased significantly.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Then, he looked at Assam and the others and ordered, "Search around the cave and see if you can find any treasures."

Assam and the others received the order and began to act.

A few minutes later, Sarah discovered something in a corner of the cave.

"There's a treasure chest here."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's heart was suddenly delighted, and he walked over.

In a corner of the cave, in an area covered by spider webs, a white treasure chest was indeed hidden.

"Good heavens, another Silver Treasure Chest," Cao Xing said joyfully.

After tearing through the spider webs, a system prompt appeared.

Found an unlocked Silver Treasure Chest. Open?

Cao Xing directly clicked to open.

Clang!

"Oh? A backpack appeared? And an Iron Rail Blueprint?"

Joy appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"Very good. This way, I can craft more Iron Rails and connect all the mine caves near the territory."

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and began to examine the attributes of the backpack and the other shelter blueprint.

Cao Xing equipped the backpack with satisfaction.

Then, he looked at the Silver Treasure Chest on the ground again.

[Decompose the opened Silver Treasure Chest * 1?]

"Yes."

[Decomposition successful] [Obtained Mithril * 10]

Thus, the contents within this Cave Spider had been almost completely looted by Cao Xing.

At this moment, Cao Xing's gaze turned to the top, towards those large cocoons entangled by spider webs.

He suddenly thought, "Muxue, do you think these cocoons might contain some treasures?"

"Hmm?" Liu Muxue's gaze was somewhat confused.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment and said directly, "Assam, help me knock down these cocoons."

Assam obeyed the order and a Frost Sword Qi strike cut through.

A white cocoon fell with a thud.

Cao Xing approached the white cocoon, then looked at the Druid beside him and said, "Andrew, help me peel open the cocoon."

Andrew's gaze was somewhat hesitant, "Lord, this is a desecration of these dead bodies..."

"But if it is your command, Andrew is willing to execute."

It brandished its claws, and with two swift slashes, the cocoon was peeled open.

Inside, a pale human face was revealed.

"It's actually a human?"

Seeing this scene, everyone was somewhat surprised.

Cao Xing bent down and fumbled around on the body, finding an emblem imprinted with petals and a long sword, and some coins.

[Obtained Cartel Family Crest * 1] [Obtained Coins * 72]

Cao Xing checked the attributes of this crest.

Cartel Family Crest (Accessory) Quality: Normal Equipment Effect: Strength + 1, Agility + 1

Cao Xing nodded. Although the added attributes were not many, it was an accessory and didn't occupy an equipment slot, so it was better than nothing.

Then, Cao Xing knocked down all the other large cocoons.

Inside, he found many corpses, both Mole People and Humans.

Cao Xing found a total of 17 Iron Ingots, 452 Coins, 6 Primary Elemental Crystals, and 11 Crests on these corpses.

The gains were quite good.

At this moment, Cao Xing looked at the Druid beside him, who had a guilty look on his face.

"Andrew, this is not a desecration of the dead, but to allow them to return to their roots."

"Only by rescuing them can the souls of the deceased find release."

"Now, bury their bodies in the land you love most."

Cao Xing's tone was very solemn, as if it were true.

Hearing this, Andrew's originally furrowed brow immediately relaxed.

He placed one hand on his chest, bowed respectfully, and said, "So this is Lord's intention. Forgive Andrew's ignorance; I misunderstood your meaning!"

A system prompt appeared.

Your actions have moved Andrew. Loyalty has increased. Current Loyalty: 88

Cao Xing nodded, secretly delighted.

These guys just love hearing these platitudes.

Then, they spent about ten minutes handling the corpses.

Seeing that there was nothing left to search in the cave, Cao Xing continued to order, "Return the way we came and go to another passage."

"Obey your command, Lord."

The four powerful Tier 2 creatures followed Cao Xing's orders and began to return the way they came.

Thump thump thump!

The advanced Frost Wolf's steps were heavy and awe-inspiring.

Its heavy footsteps echoed throughout the entire mine cave.

Soon, they returned to the original fork in the road.

This time, everyone was heading towards the left passage.

The four recruited creatures still walked in front.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue followed behind, continuously picking up the Iron Rails on the ground and some scattered ores.

Iron Rail + 1 Iron Rail + 1 Magic Stone + 3
