Rail Track +1 Mana Stone +3 Mana Crystal +1
System notifications kept appearing.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue happily picked up the precious ores behind them.
With the new backpack, Cao Xing no longer had to worry about storage capacity.
He did not even spare the stones on the ground, taking everything he could pick up.
"Xing, there are a few Mana Crystals here. They can be broken down into five Mana Stones."
Liu Muxue held two crystals in her hands and spoke excitedly.
Cao Xing's eyes lit up. "Mana Crystals? Good stuff. Muxue, put them away."
"Mm-hm." Liu Muxue agreed with a soft laugh.
As they advanced, Cao Xing raised his staff and refreshed the effects of Frost Armor and Ice Healing Technique on them.
After advancing nearly a hundred meters,
they encountered another group of Moleman Miners.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
There were around fifteen Mole People, making threatening noises.
Among them, Cao Xing spotted several Mole People carrying iron swords and spears.
Moleman Soldier Lv. 9 Health: 960 Attack: 67–71 Moleman Spearman Lv. 10 Health: 1040 Attack: 76–79
Some of the Mole People were much higher level and even knew a few basic combat techniques.
This time, Cao Xing did not need to give an order. The four powerful recruited creatures had already charged forward.
"Thud! Thud, thud!"
Frost Wolf Winter took the lead, its sturdy limbs pounding through the mine tunnel as it sent Mole People flying one after another!
Then it opened its jaws and viciously bit down on a Moleman.
-273
Blood sprayed.
"Chirp! Chirp!"
The Moleman screamed and struggled desperately, but before long, its body was bitten in two and it died on the spot.
The other Mole People's attacks struck the Frost Wolf, immediately triggering a layer of Scale Armor and Frost Armor.
-34 -27 -15
Several pitiful damage numbers floated up. Before they could attack again,
several green +22, +22 numbers appeared above the Frost Wolf's head.
In just a few seconds, its health was completely restored.
After Cao Xing's mental power had increased, the healing amount of Ice Healing Technique had also risen considerably.
The sight before them nearly drove the Mole People to despair.
Then Assam and Andrew began attacking as well.
-437 -312 -784
Damage numbers floated up one after another.
Assam and the others were simply on another level compared to these Moleman Miners.
On top of that, Sarah was secretly wielding Shadow Blades in the darkness.
She carved through them like vegetables, and the Mole People fell in droves.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing led Liu Muxue behind them, leisurely collecting the spoils.
Rail Track +1 Dry Rations +7 Viscous Liquid +1
It had to be said, this kind of battle was truly relaxing.
There was no need to fight at all. They only had to follow behind and pick things up.
And they could still gain experience.
Your territory member Sarah Blade Dance killed a Lv. 7 Moleman and gained 70 experience points. You gained half the experience: 35 Your territory member...
Experience notifications kept appearing.
Before long, Cao Xing's experience bar had reached Level 5, 33%.
Liu Muxue's experience had also reached Level 4, 34%.
Joy appeared in both their eyes.
At this moment, a complicated look appeared in Liu Muxue's eyes again.
She knew just how difficult fighting was for survivors now. Encountering wild creatures meant that even the slightest carelessness could cost them their lives.
Even those in the top ten of the rankings, such as Fang Long and Zhou Bo, faced the risk of dying at any moment during battle.
Yet Cao Xing and his group's battles were simply far too easy.
A few minutes later, the battle ended.
Cao Xing picked up a large number of mining picks from the Mole People.
As well as some iron ingots and viscous liquid.
There were also four Weak Books of Chaos. The haul was fairly decent.
Cao Xing said with satisfaction, "Keep moving."
Thud! Thud!
Frost Wolf Winter marched proudly at the front.
They advanced for nearly another five hundred meters, and Cao Xing picked up a large number of Rail Tracks again.
The mine tunnel ahead became much wider.
At that moment, a monster nearly two meters tall, covered entirely in iron plating and with a head like a massive drill bit, blocked their path.
The moment Cao Xing saw it, his eyes lit up.
"A mechanical monster?"
Its attributes appeared before him.
Moleman Technology: Burrowing Robot Level: 15 Attack: 237–250 Armor: 115–124 Durability: 2000 Skill: Burrowing Form (Activates the drill and switches to Burrowing Form, increasing movement speed by 30% and dealing multiple instances of cutting damage to enemies along its path.) Drill Ejection (Ejects the drill from its head, dealing five hits equal to 80% attack damage to enemies within a maximum range of 50 meters, while inflicting three stacks of Level 1 Bleeding. Can only be used once.)
This Burrowing Robot had no health. Once its durability was reduced to zero, it would effectively lose its combat capability.
At that moment, the Burrowing Robot noticed Cao Xing and the others, and a broken mechanical voice came from its mouth.
"Enemies... detected... must... eliminate..."
Then its body lowered.
It transformed from its upright humanoid form into a vehicle-like form.
Just like a transforming robot.
The drill on its head activated instantly, spinning with a loud buzz.
Even grazing that drill would leave someone flayed and bleeding.
The Burrowing Robot was already charging toward them.
Cao Xing immediately ordered, "Go. Take it down."
The four recruited creatures received the order and charged forward at the same time.
"Roar!"
The evolved Frost Wolf took the lead.
It slammed down with one paw.
-31
A black damage number floated up.
The damage looked low, but that was only because this mechanical construct had extremely high armor.
After being attacked, the Burrowing Robot immediately turned its head and charged at Frost Wolf Winter.
"Bzzz! Bzzzz!"
The drill spun at high speed, tearing into the Frost Wolf and ripping up a large amount of fur and flesh.
"Awoo!"
The Frost Wolf cried out in pain.
Damage numbers appeared above its head one after another.
-131 -15 -144 -15
Seeing this, Cao Xing said in surprise, "Damn, this thing hits that hard?"
Even the Frost Wolf was nearly sent flying by it.
Just then,
a snow-white figure suddenly leaped into the air and slapped a paw directly onto the Burrowing Robot's shell.
-95
Andrew's attack was far more impressive, instantly taking nearly one-twentieth of the robot's durability.
Moreover, a bear claw symbol appeared above the Burrowing Robot's head, and its defense plummeted.
At this point, Assam and Sarah had also arrived.
The four powerful creatures began surrounding and attacking the Burrowing Robot.
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
Assam's longsword, Andrew's claws, and Sarah's Shadow Blades continuously struck the Burrowing Robot.
-102 -156 -454!
Sarah's attacks were as sharp as ever. With one strike, after triggering Coup de Grace, she could take away nearly a quarter of the robot's durability.
