Big Drop

When Cao Xing saw the description of this coal mine, his eyes immediately lit up.

So many resources!

If he could claim this coal mine, he would not have to worry about resources for a while!

However, this coal mine was currently in an "unclaimable" state.

That was because there were enemies inside the mine.

They saw two snow-white figures moving about within the mine.

They seemed to sense the dangerous aura emanating from Ilena.

The two Snow Wolves emerged from the mine one after the other.

"Awooo!!!"

Their snow-white fur, two-meter-long bodies, and exposed fangs gave off an intense sense of oppression.

The two Snow Wolves stood at the entrance of the mine, their limbs taut as they watched Ilena warily, issuing threatening growls.

Cao Xing saw the Snow Wolves' attributes.

Snow Wolf: Level 3 Race: Beast　　HP: 220/220

Attack: 16–18

Attributes: Strength 8, Agility 9, Spirit 7, Constitution 11

Skills: Bite, Pounce　　Racial Talent: Pack Effect (If ten or more Snow Wolves participate in battle at the same time, the pack talent can be activated, increasing attack power and movement speed by 20%.)

They really were Level 3 Snow Wolves, and the other Snow Wolf had similar attributes.

Cao Xing understood.

Fortunately, there were only two Snow Wolves here. If there had been too many wolves, they would have activated their racial talent, and Cao Xing could only have turned around and run.

But now, as Cao Xing looked at the thick fur on the two Snow Wolves, it was as if he were looking at two naked young wives.

"Hehehe... little Snow Wolves, be good and offer up your fur!"

At that moment, Liu Muxue and Ilena turned to look at Cao Xing at the same time.

Cao Xing froze in place, utterly embarrassed.

Damn it, why had he said what he was thinking out loud?

The two Snow Wolves also seemed to know that Cao Xing's group was not to be trifled with. They lowered their heads and continuously made threatening sounds.

The snakewoman Ilena extended her scarlet tongue, refusing to show weakness.

"Hiss! Hissss!"

The atmosphere between both sides was tense to the extreme.

Meanwhile, Liu Muxue nervously held up her wooden shield.

After several seconds of confrontation, the two Snow Wolves were the first to lose their patience.

They suddenly lunged at the two women.

"Awooo!"

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

Her slender yet slightly fleshy legs trembled lightly.

At that moment, Cao Xing's voice came from behind her. "Sister-in-law, raise your shield and block its attack!"

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

Hearing this while flustered, Liu Muxue immediately felt as though she had found her anchor and instinctively did as he said.

She raised her shield just as the Snow Wolf's claws swept down.

"Mm..." Liu Muxue let out a soft cry.

After a loud impact, the 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 for her.

"I... I blocked it?" Liu Muxue looked at the scene before her in surprise.

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

Encouraged by Cao Xing, Liu Muxue became more confident.

She took a deep breath, making her ample chest rise even more prominently.

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

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The impacts rang out one after another, but Liu Muxue continued gritting her teeth, refusing to take even a single step back.

The muscles in her legs, covered in white stockings, were taut, while her rounded buttocks trembled repeatedly.

It was obvious that Liu Muxue worked out regularly. In her shield-bearing stance, her perfect curves were even more fully displayed.

"Sister-in-law, besides withstanding its 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 completely.

When the Snow Wolf missed with a claw swipe, she seized the opportunity to raise the stone axe in her hand and chop at its head.

The first number was the slashing damage Liu Muxue dealt, while the latter was the additional snake venom effect.

Although the damage was low and insignificant compared to the Snow Wolf's more than two hundred HP.

It still gave Liu Muxue confidence.

"So I can block these monsters too..."

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

Pfft! Pfft, pfft!

-14! (Critical damage)

She blocked the Snow Wolf's attacks while looking for chances to strike back.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing condensed an Ice Ball behind her.

-19

This Ice Ball did not deal as much damage as it had the first time.

That was because the Snow Wolf was a Level 3 creature, and its defense was higher than that of the Snow Viper.

The two of them worked together to deal with this Snow Wolf, and the battle was relatively uneventful.

As for the snakewoman Ilena nearby, she was completely suppressing the other Snow Wolf on her own.

Her spear was incredibly fierce.

Every thrust left several bloody holes in the Snow Wolf's body.

-37

-32

Before long, this Snow Wolf's HP had been reduced to less than half.

In contrast, every claw strike from the Snow Wolf had most of its damage reduced by Ilena's scaled hide, dealing only single-digit damage.

At those times, green +3s would appear above Ilena's head.

Before long, her HP was fully restored.

This scene plunged the Snow Wolf before her into despair.

How was it supposed to fight an enemy that could heal endlessly?

In less than thirty seconds, Ilena killed the Snow Wolf.

Your territory member, Ilena, killed a Level 3 Snow Wolf and gained 40 EXP.

You gained 20 EXP.

Liu Muxue received the same system notification.

After Ilena finished the battle on her side, she quickly twisted her body and came over to help Cao Xing.

With Ilena joining in, there was no longer any suspense in the battle that followed.

The last Snow Wolf let out a mournful cry before collapsing dead.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue sighed in relief at the same time.

As modern people, this was their first time fighting in such a way.

Although Cao Xing had seemed calm, he had actually been panicking inside.

If Liu Muxue could not hold on, then with his own frail body, he would be even less able to withstand the Snow Wolf's attacks.

Fortunately, Liu Muxue had not disappointed him.

Cao Xing walked over, saw Liu Muxue's pale face, and patted her back. "Sister-in-law, you worked hard. You performed very well this time!"

Hearing this, Liu Muxue nodded lightly, and some of the tension in her heart dissipated.

Cao Xing shifted his gaze.

At that moment, there were still two wolf corpses on the ground.

Snow Wolf Corpses x2 (Can be dismantled)

Cao Xing directly tapped dismantle.

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

Slightly Damaged Wolf Pelt (Green) x2

(Thick wolf pelts that can be made into coats with decent cold resistance.)

Fresh Wolf Meat (Green) x134

(Chewy wolf meat. 1 piece of wolf meat = 5 food.)

Snow Wolf Bones (Green) x32

(Hard bones that can be used to make simple armor or weapons, or perhaps boiled into soup?)

Wolf Fangs (Green) x11

(Sharp wolf fangs that can be used to make arrows or tied to wooden poles to make spears.)

Frost Wolf Knight Recruitment Scroll (Blue) x1

(A scroll containing the power of a contract. You can immediately summon a powerful Level 10 Frost Wolf Knight, but before doing so, make sure you have enough food.)

Seeing the materials scattered across the ground, the astonishment in Cao Xing's eyes deepened.

"Holy shit! This was a massive drop!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed!

The two wolf pelts directly solved their problem of lacking materials for cold-resistant clothing. It could be said that they had relieved his urgent need!

There was no need to mention the wolf meat. There were more than a hundred portions of it, enough to last them half a month if they ate sparingly.

The most outrageous item, naturally, was that Frost Wolf Warrior Recruitment Scroll!

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

Joy also appeared on Liu Muxue's face. She understood how valuable these resources were as well.

"That's great, A-Xing!"

Cao Xing nodded.

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

Although it had not been made into clothing, the two wolf pelts alone could provide excellent protection from the cold.

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

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

After saying that, Cao Xing draped the other wolf pelt over himself.

In an instant, much of the cold of this world was driven away.

Cao Xing could not help but sigh.

Finally, he was no longer fighting in the snow wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts!
