First Kill Reward: Serpentfolk Priestess Recruitment Scroll

This axe strike directly carved a bloody gash across the Snowland Viper's smooth body, instantly tearing its skin and flesh.

A damage number floated up.

The Snowland Viper cried out in pain, its bite intensifying.

However, with its infinite health regeneration, Da Zhuang was like a man possessed. He grabbed the Snowland Viper and began hacking and slashing wildly.

Puff! Puff-puff!

-10

The sounds of physical hits rang out one after another.

After a few bites, the Snowland Viper seemed to realize something was wrong. Its health was constantly decreasing, quickly dropping below 80.

Yet, this opponent was clearly weaker than itself, and it was still fighting vigorously!

The Viper was confused. It also realized that the enemy before it was in an unusual state. With a twist of its body, it turned and tried to escape.

Cao Xing had been watching the Snowland Viper's movements from behind. Seeing the situation, he quickly shouted, "Don't let it escape, Er Zhuang, you too!" "At your service, my Lord!"

Er Zhuang obeyed and charged forward, engaging the Snowland Viper.

With Er Zhuang's addition, the Snowland Viper's health drained even faster.

Puff! Puff-puff!

Two stone axes continuously chopped into the Viper's body. Before long, its health dropped below 30. At the same time, Cao Xing, after a brief rest, had recovered a little Spirit Power.

He raised his staff, and the surrounding frost energy gathered. Soon, a fist-sized ice ball formed at the tip of Cao Xing's staff.

"Go!"

Cao Xing swung his staff. The ice ball shot out instantly. It landed on the Snowland Viper's body and exploded with a 'pop'! -21!

An exaggerated damage number appeared on the Snowland Viper. The enemy's health reached zero, and it fell completely.

A System Prompt appeared.

Successfully killed Snowland Viper Lv2, you gained 30 Experience Points. Combatants: Da Zhuang gained 15 Experience Points, Er Zhuang gained 15 Experience Points.

Congratulations! You are the first creature to kill a wild monster in this area, receiving the First Kill Reward: Serpentfolk Priestess Recruitment Scroll * 1. Seeing the power of the Ice Ball Spell, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang's eyes showed shock.

"Lord, your power is truly intimidating!" "Lord is so powerful!"

Cao Xing glanced at them indifferently. These Polar Humans were easily impressed. The Frost Mage class was like this; high damage came with high consumption. This one Ice Ball Spell had completely drained the Spirit Power he had painstakingly recovered.

At the same time. Cao Xing approached the corpse of the Snowland Viper, and a System Prompt appeared before him.

Snowland Viper Corpse (Decomposable)

Cao Xing directly clicked to decompose. Instantly, the Snowland Viper's body disappeared. Then, on the cold snowy ground, a Damaged Snake Skin, more than ten segments of bright red Snake Meat, and a purple Poison Sac appeared.

Damaged Snake Skin (White) * 1 (Although damaged, it can still be used to craft simple leather armor.)

Fresh Snake Meat (Green) * 171

(Fresh Snake Meat, 1 piece of snake meat = 5 Food)

Poison Sac (Green) * 11

(Snake's poison sac, coating it on a weapon seems to have unexpected effects?)

Seeing the items on the ground, Cao Xing's eyes lit up with surprise.

"Damn! So much snake meat, and a snakeskin too. This is a huge drop!"

17 pieces of snake meat meant a full 85 Food!

And most importantly, besides dry bread, they now had a new food source.

And it was delicious snake meat!

At this moment, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang stared intently at the fresh red snake meat on the ground, their mouths watering.

"Meat... it's meat!"

"Heavens! How many years has it been since we last saw meat!"

"Er Zhuang, pinch me, am I dreaming?"

Polar Humans are creatures that have lived in underground worlds for years, and they rarely get to eat fresh meat.

Cao Xing didn't know about their lifestyle, but from some previous conversations with Polar Humans, he could tell their environment was likely very harsh.

Er Zhuang tugged Da Zhuang's goatee and exclaimed, "Da Zhuang, you're not dreaming, this is real meat!"

"Heavens, if someone could let me have a bite of delicious meat, I'd give my life for them!"

Cao Xing knew that these Polar Humans were speaking for his benefit.

"Alright, speed up your work. We'll all have snake soup tonight."

Upon hearing this, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang immediately scrambled to their feet from the ground and shouted.

"Long live Lord!"

"We'll get to work right away!"

Then, the two Polar Humans, holding their Stone Axes, went off to chop trees with great enthusiasm.

Watching their energized state, Cao Xing collected all the materials from the ground.

He looked at Liu Muxue beside him and said, "Sister-in-law, did you remember?"

"If you encounter enemies in the wild, you must fight like this to defeat them."

Liu Muxue hugged her shield and nodded firmly, "Mhm, I remembered, A Xing."

Cao Xing nodded and then led her back near the bonfire.

The moment they entered the bonfire's range, the cold was instantly dispelled by a large margin.

"Hiss!"

The two shivered instantly.

This time, they had been active outside for about seven minutes.

According to Cao Xing's estimation, their current maximum activity time was fifteen minutes.

If they could craft cold-resistant clothing, their activity time could be extended further.

Cao Xing glanced at his territory's resources.

Food * 135, Wood * 36, Stone * 541

"The materials to build the Tailor Shop are still not enough. It seems I can't build it today."

"So, are there any other ways to resist the severe cold?"

Cao Xing's gaze shifted to the side, towards the Polar Humans dressed in thick Snowsuits.

Clearly, the clothes these Polar Humans wore were very thick and had excellent cold-resistant effects...

At this point, most survivors would probably think of using forceful means to snatch these Polar Humans' clothes.

But it's best not to.

Because once you kill the first Polar Human, the favorability with this race will drop by 50%.

When you kill the second Polar Human, you will become completely hostile with this race.

Not only will you be unable to recruit Polar Humans to work for you in the future, but any Polar Humans you encounter on the road will attack your camp.

Cao Xing mused, "Forget it, we'll just endure today."

"It's estimated that by tomorrow, I'll have enough Wood and Stone to build the Tailor Shop."

Cao Xing then remembered the First Kill Reward the system had just given him, which seemed to be a Recruitment Scroll.

After taking it out from his backpack, the scroll's attributes appeared before him.

Serpentfolk Priestess Recruitment Scroll: Can summon a level 5 Serpentfolk Priestess to assist the Lord in battle.

Occupies 2 Population.

Upon seeing this system description, Cao Xing's expression immediately lit up with joy.

What a find! It's a scroll that can summon a level 5 creature!

This reward is truly excellent!

However, Cao Xing hadn't encountered the Serpentfolk race before when playing games, so he didn't know what they were like.

Of course, it was also possible that Cao Xing hadn't developed to the late game and simply hadn't explored the full scope of that game.

The vastness of this world exceeded Cao Xing's imagination.

Consume the scroll and summon the Serpentfolk Priestess?

"Yes."

As soon as he spoke, a hexagram array appeared out of thin air before Cao Xing.

The next moment, the hexagram array emitted a dazzling light.

Liu Muxue also watched Cao Xing's actions with curiosity from the side.

At the same time, they suddenly felt a powerful and chilling aura descend.

Then, a cold wind blew.

A creature with a winding, snow-white body appeared.

Its five-meter-long serpentine body was covered in scales, and its slender tail swayed casually in the snow.

And atop this serpentine body was a human female head.

Looking at the picture that followed, half-human, half-snake... your description now... a human head on a serpentine body... without a human upper body, it's quite horrifying.

With slender eyes and sculpted features, it exuded an aura of allure at first glance.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, standing beside it, stared in awe at this massive beautiful snake woman.

"W-what a big snake..." Liu Muxue's small mouth parted.

Cao Xing was also seeing this kind of creature for the first time; it was beyond his imagination.

"So this is the Serpentfolk? They truly live up to their name."

At this moment, the snake-bodied, human-headed creature stared at Cao Xing with its emerald-green pupils, then opened its dark purple lips and spoke softly.

"Respected Lord, your Serpentfolk Priestess, Ilena, is at your service."

The attributes of this snake person appeared before Cao Xing.
