Chapter 267
Ransacking the Village, Discovering the Underground Prison Upon seeing the effect of this thing, Cao Xing’s eyes immediately lit up.
“This is it! So this is why I couldn’t detect the strength of those Hunters!”
This was indeed a good item, and it wasn’t restricted by level.
Thus, Cao Xing distributed one to each of his subordinates.
In an instant, Cao Xing felt that their presence became even more subtle and harder to detect.
Especially Phantom Assassin Sarah, who now stood there with an ethereal aura that made her easy to overlook.
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad. With these cloaks, other Survivors can’t easily probe my strength anymore.”
At the same time, Andrew and Assam completed their transformations.
A formidable power surged from within them.
Cao Xing even sensed that the two big guys grew two to three centimeters taller.
Two System Prompts appeared.
[Your Territory Member: Andrew has advanced successfully, now a third-tier Boss Level creature: Basic Attributes increased by 100%]
[Your Territory Member: Assam has advanced successfully, now a third-tier Boss Level creature, Basic Attributes increased by 100%]
…
Cao Xing was ecstatic, “Great, great! Now I have two more third-tier Generals under my command!”
Just a few days ago, Assam was only a Level 10 First-tier creature, and Andrew was just Level 15.
They had broken through to third-tier so quickly.
His development speed was terrifyingly fast.
Both men came over with joyous expressions on their faces.
Assam said respectfully, “Thank you, my Lord, for your gifts. Assam has become a third-tier Knight!”
Andrew also said devoutly, “Your power and the power of Nature shield me.”
Cao Xing nodded and gave them some words of encouragement as usual.
Then he glanced at their attributes.
[Frost Wolf Knight: Assam]
[Race: Human Clan]
[Level: 20 Level 0/100000 (third-tier Boss Level creature)]
[Detailed Attributes: Click to view]
…
[Ice Plain Druid: Andrew]
[Race: Druid]
[Level: 20 Level 0/100000 (third-tier Boss Level creature)]
[Detailed Attributes: Click to view]
…
Seeing their attributes, a strong sense of joy appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes.
Too strong!
Their Attack Power had all surpassed 1500!
Their Blood Volume was even more terrifying.
Though compared to the same level third-tier Da Bai, their attributes were a bit lower.
But Da Bai, as a Mammoth, a sacred creature, naturally had its advantages.
Cao Xing said contentedly, “Let’s go to the village.”
“At your command!”
Assam was the first to draw his Longsword and walked toward the village.
Soon, they arrived inside the village.
Upon entering, it was a scene of chaos.
Sarah’s battles with these Hunters had destroyed quite a few houses.
There were still a few bodies of Hunters lying on the ground.
Besides the signs of battle, there was also dried blood on the walls of the houses.
Sarah now appeared beside Cao Xing’s ear and reported, “I scouted here earlier. All the villagers in this village are long gone.”
Cao Xing nodded; he had already guessed as much.
It was clear from how those Hunters tried to hide things, not letting Cao Xing into the village.
Sarah continued, “However, in one of the houses, I found an underground passage door, and it was there that I was discovered by the Hunters.”
“That place is probably very important to them.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing stroked his chin in thought for a moment.
An underground passage door?
It seemed that under that door was likely the secret those Hunters had hidden in the village.
But he didn’t go there immediately. Instead, he looked at the surrounding residential houses.
Then Cao Xing directly pushed open one of the houses.
Inside, he saw some simple furnishings.
A stove, several tables, chairs, and benches.
Besides this, there was a kitchen area and a bedroom.
Cao Xing entered the kitchen area first.
Then he found a wooden cabinet hanging on the wall.
He opened the cabinet, and inside appeared some bottles and jars, all used condiments.
“Oh? There’s pepper?”
These household items were quite rare for Cao Xing’s Territory.
He collected them all.
[Obtained: Coarse Salt*1 bottle]
[Obtained: Used Soy Sauce*1]
[Obtained: Inferior Wine*2]
[Obtained: Pepper*1]
…
Then, Cao Xing came to the bedroom area.
Inside the bedroom, there was a bed and a blackened cotton quilt.
Under the bed board, Cao Xing also found a hidden cabinet.
“Squeak!”
The cabinet opened, revealing a few sets of simple cotton clothes and a small bag of coins.
Cao Xing took them directly.
[Obtained: Linen Cotton Clothes*3]
[Obtained: Coins*102]
[Obtained: Silver Ring*2]
…
“These are indeed unexpected gains.”
After all, these cotton clothes and coins were important supplies.
Especially the cotton clothes, which would surely incite a scramble among Survivors in the Trading Market.
Cao Xing, with joy on his face, continued to search through the bedroom.
After finding nothing else of value, he left the house.
Cao Xing clapped his hands and then said to his subordinates, “Go search those villagers’ houses… uh, see if there are any resources we can bring back to the Territory.”
“This village has been occupied by Hunters. We can’t let these resources fall into their hands.”
Cao Xing spoke with righteous justification.
Upon hearing this, Assam and the others immediately stood upright and began to act.
And Cao Xing himself went from house to house, carefully searching through the villagers’ homes.
