Magic Energy Crystal and Drilling Robot

Iron Rail +1

Magic Stone +3

Magic Energy Crystal +1

System prompts continued to appear.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue followed behind, happily picking up these precious ores.

With the new backpack, Cao Xing no longer had to worry about inventory space.

He didn't even spare the stones on the ground, picking up everything he could.

"A Xing, there are a few Magic Energy Crystals here. They can be decomposed into 5 Magic Stones."

Liu Muxue said joyfully, holding two crystals in her hand.

Cao Xing's eyes lit up, "Magic Energy Crystals, good stuff! Muxue, put them away."

"Mhm." Liu Muxue agreed with a light laugh.

As they moved forward, Cao Xing raised his staff, refreshing the effects of Ice Armor and Ice Healing Technique for them.

After advancing about a hundred meters.

They encountered another wave of Mole Miners.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

There were about fifteen Mole Miners, emitting threatening sounds.

Among them, Cao Xing also saw a few Mole Miners wielding Iron Swords and spears.

Mole Soldier Lv9 Health: 960 Attack Power: 67-71

Mole Spearman Lv10 Health: 1040 Attack Power: 76-79

Several of the Mole Miners had significantly higher levels and knew some basic combat skills.

This time, without Cao Xing's command, the four powerful summoned creatures had already charged forward.

"Thump! Thump-thump!"

The Frost Wolf, Winter, took the lead, its sturdy limbs pounding through the mine cave, sending Mole Miners flying!

Then, it opened its massive jaws and bit down hard on a Mole Miner.

-273

Blood splattered.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

The Mole Miner let out a scream and struggled fiercely, but soon its body was bitten in half, killing it instantly.

The other Mole Miners' attacks, upon hitting the Frost Wolf, immediately triggered a layer of Scale Armor and a layer of Ice Armor.

-34 -27 -15

A few pathetic damage numbers floated up. Before they could launch another attack.

Several green numbers, +22, +22, appeared above the Frost Wolf's head.

In just a few seconds, its health was fully restored.

After Cao Xing's Spirit Power increased, the healing amount from Ice Healing Technique had also greatly improved.

The scene before them almost drove these Mole Miners to despair.

Then, Assam and Andrew also launched their attacks.

-437 -312 -784

Damage numbers floated up one after another.

The strength of Assam and the others was like a dimensional collapse for these Mole Miners.

Furthermore, Sarah was in the shadows, wielding the Shadow Blade.

It was like cutting through tofu, with Mole Miners falling in droves.

Cao Xing, with Liu Muxue, followed behind, easily collecting the spoils of war.

Iron Rail +1

Rations +7

Viscous Liquid +1

I have to say, this kind of combat is truly peaceful.

You don't need to lift a finger, just follow behind and pick up loot.

And you even gain Experience Points.

Your territory member Sarah · Blade Dancer killed Mole Miner Lv7 and gained 70 Experience Points.

You gained half the Experience Points: 35

Your territory member...

System prompts for gaining Experience Points kept appearing.

In no time, Cao Xing's experience bar reached Level 5 33%.

Liu Muxue's Experience Points also reached Level 4 34%.

Joy appeared in their eyes.

At this moment, a complex expression reappeared in Liu Muxue's eyes.

She knew how difficult combat was for the current survivors. Encountering wild creatures could lead to death if they weren't careful.

Even Fang Long and Zhou Bo, who were in the top ten of the current leaderboard, faced the risk of death at any moment during their battles.

But the battles Cao Xing and the others were in were excessively peaceful.

A few minutes later, the battle ended.

Cao Xing picked up a large number of pickaxes from these mole people.

As well as some Iron Ingots and Viscous Liquid.

There were also four copies of Book of Chaos - Weak. The harvest was quite good.

Cao Xing said with satisfaction, "Continue forward."

Thump! Thump!

Frost Wolf Winter walked at the very front, exuding a chilling aura.

They advanced for about 500 meters, and Cao Xing picked up a large number of Iron Rails again.

The mine cave ahead became much wider.

Just then, a monster nearly two meters tall, covered entirely in sheet metal, with a head like a giant drill, blocked their path.

Seeing this figure, Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up.

"Mechanical monster?"

The monster's attributes appeared before him.

Mole Miner Tech: Drilling Robot Level: 15 Attack Power: 237~250

Armor: 115~124

Durability: 2000

Skills: Drilling Form (Activates drill, switches to drilling form, movement speed increases by 30%, deals multi-stage cutting damage to enemies along the path.)

Drill Ejection (Ejects the drill from its head, dealing 5 hits of 80% attack to enemies, maximum attack range 50 meters, and adds 3 stacks of Level 1 Bleed effect, usable only once.)

This Drilling Robot had no Health Points. As long as its Durability was depleted to zero, it would lose its combat capability.

At this moment, the Drilling Robot also saw Cao Xing and the others, emitting intermittent mechanical synthesized sounds from its mouth.

"Enemy... detected... requires... elimination..."

Then, its body lowered.

It transformed from an upright stance into a vehicle-like form.

Similar to a Transformer's transformation.

The drill on its head instantly activated, whirring ominously.

Being grazed by this drill would be the least of their worries, resulting in torn flesh and gaping wounds.

At this moment, the Drilling Robot charged towards them.

Cao Xing directly gave the order, "Go, take care of it."

The four recruited creatures received the command and charged forward simultaneously.

"Roar!"

The advanced Frost Wolf took the lead.

It swiped down with a claw.

-31

A black damage number floated up.

It didn't look like much damage, but it was actually because this mechanical construct had very high armor.

Upon being attacked, the Drilling Robot immediately turned its head and charged towards the Frost Wolf, Winter.

"Buzz! Buzz buzz!"

The drill spun at high speed, attacking the Frost Wolf and tearing off a large patch of fur and flesh.

"Awooo!"

The Frost Wolf cried out in pain.

Damage numbers appeared on its head.

-131

-15

-144

-15

Seeing this, Cao Xing exclaimed in surprise, "Whoa, this thing's Attack Power is that high?"

It had almost sent the Frost Wolf flying.

And just then.

A figure, entirely snow-white, suddenly leaped up and slapped the Drilling Robot's shell.

-95

Andrew's attack was quite impressive, directly causing it to lose nearly one-twentieth of its Durability.

Furthermore, a bear claw symbol appeared above the Drilling Robot's head, and its Defense Power dropped significantly.

At this moment, Assam and Sarah had also arrived.

The four powerful creatures began to surround and attack the Drilling Robot.

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

Assam's longsword, Andrew's claws, and Sarah's Shadow Blade continuously hacked at the Drilling Robot's body.

-102

-156

-454!

Sarah's attack was as sharp as ever. With a single strike, after triggering Gift of Release, she could take away nearly a quarter of the robot's Durability.
