Big Explosion

Upon seeing the introduction to the Coal Mine, Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly.

So many resources!

If he could capture this Coal Mine, he wouldn't have to worry about resources for a while!

However, this Coal Mine was currently in an 'unconquerable' state.

This was because there were enemies inside the Mine Cave.

They saw two snow-white figures moving around inside the Mine Cave.

As if sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Ilena, the two Snow Wolves emerged one after another.

"Roar!!!"

Their pure white fur, their two-meter-long bodies, and their exposed fangs exuded a powerful sense of pressure.

The two Snow Wolves stood at the entrance of the Mine Cave, their limbs tensed, warily watching Ilena, emitting threatening low growls.

Cao Xing saw the Snow Wolves' Attributes.

Snow Wolf: Level 3
Race: Beast
Health: 220/220
Attack Power: 16~18
Attributes: Strength 8, Agility 9, Spirit 7, Constitution 11
Skills: Bite, Pounce
Racial Talent: Wolf Pack Effect (If the number of Snow Wolves participating in combat simultaneously reaches 10 or more, the Wolf Pack Talent can be activated, increasing Attack Power and Movement Speed by 20%.)

As expected, they were Level 3 Snow Wolves. The other Snow Wolf had similar Attributes.

Cao Xing understood.

Fortunately, there were only two Snow Wolves here. If there were too many wolves and their racial talent was activated, Cao Xing would have to turn and run.

But now, looking at the thick fur on the two Snow Wolves, Cao Xing felt like he was looking at a naked young woman.

"Hehehe... Little Snow Wolves, obediently contribute your fur!"

At this moment, Liu Muxue and Ilena turned their heads to look at Cao Xing simultaneously.

Cao Xing froze on the spot, extremely embarrassed.

Damn it, why did he say what he was thinking?

The two Snow Wolves seemed to know that Cao Xing and the others were not to be trifled with. They lowered their heads, continuously emitting threatening sounds.

The Snake Person Ilena flicked her scarlet tongue, not to be outdone.

"Hiss! Hiss hiss!"

The atmosphere between the two sides was tense.

Meanwhile, Liu Muxue nervously held up her wooden shield.

After several seconds of confrontation, the two Snow Wolves lost their patience first.

They suddenly pounced towards them.

"Roar!"

Liu Muxue raised her shield. The Snow Wolf's massive two-meter-long body put immense pressure on her.

Her slender, slightly fleshy legs trembled slightly.

Just then, Cao Xing's voice came from behind: "Sister-in-law, raise your shield and block its attack!"

"Don't worry, your Attributes can handle it."

In her panic, Liu Muxue seemed to find her backbone upon hearing this. She instinctively did as he said.

She raised her shield, and the Snow Wolf's claws slashed across it.

"Mmm..." Liu Muxue let out a soft gasp.

After a sound of impact, the expected scene of Liu Muxue being sent flying did not occur.

A layer of snow-white scales appeared on her arm, reducing much of the impact force.

"Blocked... blocked it?" Liu Muxue looked at the scene in front of her in surprise.

Cao Xing praised from behind, "Sister-in-law, well done!"

Encouraged by Cao Xing, Liu Muxue became more confident.

She took a deep breath, making her proud chest appear even more substantial.

Liu Muxue raised her shield again and again, blocking the Snow Wolf's attacks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds of impact continued, but Liu Muxue gritted her teeth and did not retreat a single step.

The muscles in her legs, covered in white stockings, tensed, and her rounded buttocks trembled with each impact.

It was clear that Liu Muxue usually exercised. Her posture with the shield further accentuated her perfect body curves.

"Sister-in-law, besides blocking attacks, remember to use the weapon in your other hand to counterattack the enemy."

Cao Xing was teaching Liu Muxue how to fight.

Liu Muxue followed his instructions exactly.

When the Snow Wolf's claw attack missed, she raised the stone axe in her hand and swung it towards the Snow Wolf's head.

The numbers in front were the chopping damage dealt by Liu Muxue, and the one behind was the accompanying snake venom effect.

Although the damage was low and insignificant compared to the Snow Wolf's over two hundred health points, it still gave Liu Muxue confidence.

"So, I can actually block these monsters..."

Then, Liu Muxue gradually found her own rhythm of attack.

Slash! Slash slash!

-14! (Critical Damage)

She blocked the Snow Wolf's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Cao Xing, meanwhile, was condensing an Ice Ball Spell behind her.

-19

This Ice Ball Spell's damage was not as high as the first one.

This was because the Snow Wolf was a Level 3 creature, and its defense was higher than the Snowland Viper's.

The two of them working together to deal with this Snow Wolf made the fight seem perilous but ultimately safe.

As for the Snake Person Ilena beside them, she was unilaterally suppressing another Snow Wolf.

Her spear was so sharp, every thrust could pierce several bloody holes in the Snow Wolf.

-37

-32

In a short while, the Snow Wolf's health was reduced to less than half.

On the other hand, Ilena's scales deflected most of the damage from the Snow Wolf's claw attacks, with only single-digit damage numbers appearing.

At this point, green "+3, +3" numbers would appear above Ilena's head.

Soon, her health was replenished.

This scene filled the Snow Wolf before her with despair.

Facing an enemy that could heal infinitely, how could it possibly win?

In less than thirty seconds, Ilena had defeated the Snow Wolf.

[Your Territory Member: Ilena has killed Snow Wolf Lv3, gaining 40 Experience Points.] [You have gained 20 Experience Points.]

Liu Muxue also received the same system prompt.

After Ilena finished her fight, she quickly twisted her body and came to help Cao Xing.

With Ilena's joining, the subsequent battle had no suspense.

The last Snow Wolf let out a mournful cry and then fell to the ground, dead.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue both breathed a sigh of relief.

As modern people, this was their first time fighting in this manner.

Although Cao Xing appeared calm, he was actually very panicked inside.

If Liu Muxue couldn't hold on, he, with his small frame, would be even less able to withstand the Snow Wolf's attacks.

Fortunately, Liu Muxue did not disappoint.

Cao Xing walked over, saw Liu Muxue's pale face, patted her back, and said, "Sister-in-law, you've worked hard. Your performance this time was excellent!"

Liu Muxue nodded slightly upon hearing this, and the nervousness in her heart subsided a little.

Cao Xing shifted his gaze.

There were still two wolf corpses on the ground.

[Snow Wolf Corpse * 2 (Decomposable)]

Cao Xing directly clicked on decompose.

A white light enveloped the two wolf corpses. A second later, a pile of materials appeared on the ground.

[Slightly Damaged Wolf Hide (Green)] * 2 (Thick wolf hide, can be made into a coat with good cold resistance.)

[Fresh Wolf Meat (Green)] * 134

(Chewy Wolf Meat, 1 piece of Wolf Meat = 5 Food)

Snow Wolf Bone (Green) * 32

(Hard bones, you can use them to craft simple armor and weapons, or perhaps to make soup?)

Wolf Tooth (Green) * 11

(Sharp wolf teeth, you can use them to craft arrows, or tie them to a wooden stick to make a spear.)

Frost Wolf Knight Recruitment Scroll (Blue) * 1

(A scroll imbued with the power of contract, you can immediately summon a powerful Level 10 Frost Wolf Knight, but before that, please ensure you have enough food.)

Seeing all the materials on the ground, Cao Xing's shock deepened.

"Holy crap! This haul is insane!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed!

The two wolf hides directly solved their need for raw materials to craft cold-weather clothing, which was a lifesaver!

As for the wolf meat, there was no need to even mention it. Over a hundred portions – if they ate sparingly, it would be enough for them to last half a month.

And the most outrageous item was naturally the Frost Wolf Knight Recruitment Scroll!

It could actually summon a Level 10 creature, even more powerful than Ilena!

Liu Muxue, standing beside him, also showed a happy expression. She knew how valuable these resources were.

"That's great, A Xing!"

Cao Xing nodded.

He picked up a snow-white wolf hide from the ground and draped it over Liu Muxue.

Even though it wasn't made into clothes, just these two wolf hides would provide excellent insulation against the cold.

Liu Muxue instantly felt a wave of warmth envelop her. She looked at Cao Xing gratefully, "Thank you, A Xing."

"You're welcome, Sister-in-law."

After speaking, Cao Xing draped the other wolf hide over himself.

In an instant, much of the world's biting cold was dispelled.

At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He was finally no longer fighting in the snow wearing only a t-shirt and shorts!
