The battle in the Mole People's Mine Cave was now drawing to a close.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue stayed behind Assam, easily unleashing attack after attack.

Three forty-centimeter ice spikes condensed and shot out.

Pfft pfft pfft!

-84

-87

-85

One level 10 Mole Person, focused by Cao Xing, died on the spot.

Successfully killed Mole Person lv10, gained 100 Experience Points.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad."

After switching to the Magic Spider Staff, his Attack Power had also noticeably changed.

And compared to Cao Xing...

Sarah's side was even more terrifying.

After realizing that the Mole People's attacks couldn't deal effective damage to her.

Sarah abandoned stealth entirely and began a frontal slaughter.

The Shadow Blade swung continuously, like a reaper harvesting lives on the battlefield.

-792

-847

-1657!

Exaggerated damage numbers floated up.

These Mole People fell one by one, like chopping melons and vegetables.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue had practically watched Sarah's performance the entire time.

At this moment, a video call request suddenly came from Liu Muxue's side.

Upon seeing, it was her father calling.

Liu Muxue looked at Cao Xing and asked softly, "A Xing, my dad called again, saying it's urgent. Should I answer?"

Her trust in Cao Xing now completely outweighed that of her family.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, finding it strange why Liu Muxue's father would call at this time.

Could it be that he saw Liu Muxue on the leaderboard and wanted some benefits again?

Cao Xing thought for a bit, then said, "Answer it. Let's see what he wants."

"But, just act like I'm not here when you talk to him."

Liu Muxue nodded.

Then, she answered the call.

At this moment, Liu Zhenjie looked at the video screen and said excitedly, "Xiao Xue, you finally answered!"

"You child, we sent you so many messages and you didn't reply. What are you trying to do?"

Hearing the latter half, Liu Muxue's expression instantly turned cold, "What do you need me for?"

The experiences of the past two days had gradually made her stronger. She was no longer the Liu Muxue who was controlled by her family.

Hearing Liu Muxue's tone, Liu Zhenjie seemed to realize something was wrong.

The anger that had just appeared on his face was quickly retracted, and he put on a smiling face, saying, "Heh, it's nothing important."

"I just wanted to ask how you're doing over there? I saw you on the leaderboard, that's amazing!"

"Your mother and your brother are proud of you!"

Hearing this, a chill ran through Liu Muxue's heart.

She knew the hypocrisy in Liu Zhenjie's words.

He said they were proud of her, but during the time she was gaining popularity, she had never felt her family was proud of her.

They had only treated her as a tool for making money.

She said coldly, "Just say what you need directly. I don't have any food here."

Hearing this, Liu Zhenjie's smile froze. He seemed surprised by her firm attitude.

But he still said with a smile.

"Xiao Xue, Dad doesn't want food."

"I just wanted to ask, where is your camp located?"

"These past two days, your mother and I have reflected a lot. We know we were too harsh on you before and feel extremely guilty."

"I want to visit you after the Novice Protection Period ends, bringing your two younger brothers."

Liu Zhenjie spoke with deep emotion, seemingly genuinely remorseful.

However, Liu Muxue was a smart woman.

Upon hearing this, she didn't feel happy about her family's repentance. Instead, she keenly sensed something was wrong.

She turned off the video feed and audio, then turned her head to ask.

"A Xing... my dad suddenly asked for our coordinates. I feel like something's off with him."

"With their temperaments, it's impossible for them to suddenly feel guilty towards me."

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then asked doubtfully, "He wants our coordinates?"

Liu Muxue nodded.

Cao Xing fell into thought, he also felt something was amiss.

After all, at this stage, it was difficult for survivors to even venture ten kilometers outside their camps, let alone think about finding other survivor bases.

Moreover, given Liu Muxue's parents' cautious nature, they wouldn't risk it.

There was a problem here.

Therefore, it must be others who instructed Liu Zhenjie to ask.

"Interesting. They thought of using Muxue's family to get my camp's coordinates. These guys actually have some ideas."

As for who was behind it, Cao Xing knew clearly.

It was none other than those on the leaderboard who wanted to compete with him for first place.

Fang Long was the most suspicious, obviously.

He had offended Fang Long before.

A smile of interest appeared on Cao Xing's lips. "Muxue, give him a set of coordinates: 71231, 5213, 23719."

Liu Muxue was a bit confused, as these coordinates were nowhere near their camp's location, hundreds of kilometers away.

What she didn't know was that these coordinates belonged to a large Ranger gathering point.

What if they had protagonist's luck? It would just be like giving the enemy a lot of Experience Points.

There was a group of crazed Rangers there, planning a terrifying city-slaughtering operation.

If they didn't go, it would be fine. But if they did, these guys would have a hard time.

They would probably end up like Tong Chuchu's father, sacrificed as offerings.

Cao Xing added, "Oh, right. Remind your dad that at this stage, he can't possibly cross hundreds of kilometers of snow. It's best if he doesn't come looking for us."

This was Cao Xing's final reminder to him.

Liu Muxue lightly nodded her head. "I understand, A Xing."

Liu Muxue turned on the video feed.

Then she relayed the coordinates to Liu Zhenjie.

Upon receiving the coordinate information, Liu Zhenjie did not suspect anything and appeared very pleased.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Good, good, good! Xiao Xue, you're truly our good daughter."

"We'll bring people to find you in a while."

After saying that, he directly hung up the phone.

Liu Muxue glanced at Cao Xing.

Cao Xing nodded.

After this small interlude, the previous battle had already concluded.

Cao Xing glanced at his Experience Points.

Level 5, 90%

Just a little more to reach Level 6!

On the field, rows upon rows of Mole People corpses lay on the ground.

Only four powerful Tier 2 Creatures and one Drilling Robot remained standing.

Cao Xing said, "Start cleaning up the battlefield!"

Liu Muxue also smiled and began collecting spoils of war alongside Cao Xing.

Obtained Rations * 7

Obtained Viscous Liquid * 1

Obtained Iron Ingot * 1

Obtained Mole People Standard Short Sword (White) * 1

Obtained Mole People Standard Spear (White) * 1

System prompts continued to appear.

It took about ten minutes.

They cleared the battlefield.

Accumulated gains:

Rations * 372

Viscous Liquid * 79

Book of Chaos - Weak * 5

Iron Ingot * 43

Then there were over 40 assorted white-tier weapons.

In addition, Cao Xing saw three robots emitting black smoke standing quietly nearby.
