Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 405 Rusty Iron Mercenary Group, Treasure Map (6600)

On the way back to the territory, Cao Xing also began to count the harvest this time.

"This time, coming to Melinde City can be said to have gained a lot."

"Not only did I successfully exchange all the bills and notes, I also bought a legendary weapon spearhead, a master-level energy core, and the Keda Flower on the black market."

"The most important thing is to get the tools to tame the griffin."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt very satisfied.

"In addition to these gains, I also took on two tasks."

"One is a mission commissioned by the Duke to find the heirloom sword in the griffin's nest."

"The other is a B-level mission for a master beast tamer. You need to climb a high mountain and bring back his brother's body."

These two tasks are actually consecutive.

Because according to the beast trainer, even masters of the highest level cannot climb Mount Skavi.

Only by successfully taming the Griffin King can you fly to such a high mountain top.

In other words, he needs to find the griffin's nest first before he can complete the two subsequent tasks.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing decided to wait for the Centaurs to finish exploring the caves before carrying out this mission.

It is worth mentioning that.

Kandal sent him a communication yesterday. After several days of exploration, they were finally approaching the end of the cave.

At the same time, Cao Xing sent a message to Liu Muxue, telling her that he would be back today.

Liu Muxue was also very happy when she heard it.

And replied that everything was fine in Cao Xing's territory.

In the past few days, she and Assam's team also won a lot of points and won the first place in the Zhuoma Behemoth Challenge several times in a row.

After hearing this, Cao Xing also opened the rankings and took a look.

[Four major regions rankings]

[First place: Cao Xing (accumulated points 682352)]

[Second place: Angelica dahurica (accumulated points 53217)]

【Third place: Bolko (accumulated points 51823)】

[Fourth place: Wei Jianyi (accumulated points: 50382)]

【the fifth place……】

...

Seeing the numbers above, Cao Xing showed a look of relief on his face.

"I remember that when I came out of the territory, I had 38 points, and now it has soared to 68!"

"In other words, in these two days, Mu Xue has earned me 30 points?"

Cao Xing suddenly became a little excited.

Because before that, he only used 25 points to redeem high-level military recruitment scrolls and draw a prize.

In other words, he still has 43 points to squander!
It goes without saying what a terrifying number this is.

Just the advanced military recruitment scrolls can be exchanged for more than 400!

If it were an ordinary imperial soldier, more than 40,000 cards could be exchanged.

With sufficient population, he can already gather an army of tens of thousands!

"Not bad……"

"Mu Xue and the others are becoming more and more efficient."

A curve appeared at the corner of Cao Xing's mouth.

Then he gave the order: "Everyone, move forward at full speed, we will return to the territory as soon as possible."

He is now eager to return home and can't wait to digest what he has gained this time!
"Boom! Boom!"

After hearing the order, Dabai moved his four hooves and ran quickly forward.

The soldiers behind also quickened their pace and followed Cao Xing.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a plain area, surrounded by huge rocks that had rolled down from the mountains.

This is a stopover on the way back to the territory from the city of Melinde.

Cao Xing and others were walking through the pile of rocks just like before.

When passing through a narrow road.

Dabai seemed to have stepped on something.

"Crack!"

There was a sound of shattering, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed.

Everyone felt their center of gravity was unstable and began to fall rapidly!
Renis quickly warned, "My Lord, we have stepped into a trap!"

Cao Xing also reacted in an instant.

However, there was no panic in my heart.

Instead, look downward.

They were about to fall into this deep trap.

At the bottom, there are all kinds of spike traps, explosion traps, etc.!
Cao Xing quickly said, "Everyone, don't panic. You have holy shields on you, and these traps can't cause much damage."

"After landing, just destroy these spike traps."

Hearing this, the dozen or so people on the field suddenly came to their senses.

Then he adjusted the angle and landed.

"Crack! Click!"

"Boom!"

A series of explosions were heard and the explosive trap at the bottom of the pit was triggered.

The holy shields on everyone's bodies were also shattered layer by layer.

But as Cao Xing said, no harm was caused.

Seeing this, the wild boar warriors said excitedly: "Wow! How dare you dig a pit to harm our wild boar warriors!"

"Kick them to death!"

The next moment, they raised their double knives and chopped the surrounding spike traps one by one.

Renis and Elisa next to them were also constantly pulling the bowstrings to destroy the traps.

The most exaggerated one is Dabai.

Relying on its powerful armor and recovery ability, it rushed around at the bottom of the pit, bursting the traps one by one!

In the blink of an eye, the traps at the bottom of the pit were basically cleared.

At this moment, several voices seemed to be heard from the ground.

"The target has fallen into the trap, go over there and surround them!"

Cao Xing raised his head.

Dozens of figures appeared at the edge of the pit.

It was a group of humans, both men and women.

Everyone was wearing one or two pieces of low-quality equipment.

Looking at Cao Xing who fell to the bottom of the pit, excitement appeared on their faces!

"Hahaha! All these guys fell into the pit."

"We spent two days digging this trap. Now let's see where you can run!"

Cao Xing below frowned and asked, "I don't think I know you guys?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the dozens of people above

"Boy, you really don't know us."

"But soon, you will know our name."

Cao Xing looked at the person who spoke.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a white scale armor and holding a scimitar.

He is also the most powerful among this group of people, with the strength of a fifth-order leader.

Cao Xing asked: "What do you want to do?"

The middle-aged man with the strength of a fifth-level leader said gloomily: "Hand over all the crowns in your hands!"

"Don't try to deceive us. We know that you have at least tens of millions of crowns in your hands."

"Be smart, maybe you can save your life."

Cao Xing's eyes showed a look of realization, "So that's how it is, you are here to rob?"

Although I don’t know where these people got the information from.

But it was obvious that it was the huge sum of money that Cao Xing owned that aroused the greed of these people.

At this moment, a woman next to him said.

"Captain, don't waste your time talking to him. Just catch them in the net and take them all away!"

"These guys are so strong that they can be sold to slave traders and fetch a lot of money."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man also nodded.

"Start throwing out the nets and trap these people!"

Upon hearing the order, the people around him each took a bundle of fishing nets in their hands and threw them directly into the deep pit.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing said calmly.

"Sarah, go ahead."

"Shh!"

In an instant, an arc of light flashed and rushed straight into the air.

Then, a shadow rushed directly into the group of figures, and the Moon Dance form was instantly activated.

Like a ghost, he came behind a man holding a musket.

The [Fire Blade] in his hand slashed down mercilessly!

"Pfft!"

【-21472! 】

With one strike of the sword, the man's blood volume was cut in half.

The man was suddenly hit hard on the back and felt a bit of chill and a sense of imminent death!
"save……"

Before he could say anything, Sarah's second knife had already slashed down.

"Pfft!"

【-22752! 】

The man's body fell limply.

Less than a second after they met, Sarah had already killed one person.

It was only then that others began to react.

When they saw the body of their companion fall, horror appeared in their eyes at the same time!

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed a lv35 member of the Rust Mercenary Group, a fourth-order common creature, and gained experience points: 1220]

...

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing casually pushed away the net on his body and then pondered.

"Rust Mercenaries?"

"I thought they were those mountain bandits."

Shaking his head, Cao Xing didn't think much about it.

After all, the strength of this Rust Mercenary Group is obviously not that strong.

Sarah alone can kill them all.

At the same time, after killing one person, the dark elf assassin seemed to have entered an invincible state.

Rush directly into the crowd and start killing!
"Pfft!"

【-22732! 】

【-23923! 】

【-25823! 】

【-336521! 】

The gift of liberation!

As Sarah slashed down with her sword, every blow was a critical hit.

None of the mercenaries on the ground could withstand two blows from Sarah.

Their various attacks were also dodged flexibly by Sarah.

Even if she couldn't avoid it, it would only cause pitiful three-digit damage when it landed on her.

By the time they reacted, Sarah had already killed five of them!
The other mercenaries shouted in horror.

"Captain! This assassin is so strong!"

"We can't trap her!"

At this moment, the mercenary leader who had the strength of a fifth-level leader had a look of horror in his eyes.

Before, the aura of Cao Xing and others was very restrained, and they didn’t know their specific strength.

And now, with Sarah's move, they were directly filled with fear!

The mercenary leader said in horror: "Master... This is a master assassin..."

"It's over..."

Upon hearing the name of the master assassin, these mercenaries also showed expressions of fear!
The Rust Mercenary Group is just a third-rate mercenary group and they normally don't come into contact with strong people of this level.

Occasionally, when encountering master mercenaries in some mercenary agencies, they were also very respectful.

And now, they actually provoked a master!
A fear of death surged into my heart.

All the mercenaries couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.

"What...what should we do, Captain?"

"If this continues, we will all be killed..."

There was already great fear in his tone!

The captain's expression was as gloomy as water.

He made up his mind and gave the order directly: "Quick! Concentrate your firepower and capture the lord of the other world below."

"This is the assassin's leader. As long as we control him, this master-level warrior won't dare to attack us."

The survivors have been in contact with the indigenous people of this world for some time, so they also know that Cao Xing among the crowd is the key.

However, before everyone started to take action, they saw that the lord from the other world had grown a pair of invisible wind wings behind him, which carried him out of the deep pit.

Then, Cao Xing had a faint smile on his face.

"Take me down?"

"Are you guys having some crazy ideas?"

Under the horrified gaze of these mercenaries.

Suddenly, I saw the lord from another world raising his staff.

Then, a huge hexagram formation with a diameter of more than one hundred meters appeared.

The already extremely cold temperature dropped sharply again.

"Yin——"

As a loud dragon roar sounded, two huge ice dragons rushed out from the magic circle!
"Crash!"

The two ice dragons were spinning at high speed, and in an instant the mercenaries felt as if they had suffered a devastating blow, and their health dropped rapidly.

The second the ice dragon started spinning, the mercenary leader took a deep breath.

He quickly warned, "Quick, get out of here! Don't enter the attack range of this alien lord!"

In an instant, the other remaining survivors also reacted.

They wanted to retreat in panic.

However, as an epic skill.

[Ice Tornado Storm] not only has a large-scale group attack, but also has a powerful deceleration effect.

Everyone seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, unable to move forward.

When the rotation of the two ice dragons ended.

There were a lot of corpses that were strangled to pieces around.

Their blood splattered on the ground and froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

[In this battle: You have killed 32 members of the Rusted Iron Mercenary Group, and gained 54720 experience points]

...

When the ice dragon disappeared, the Rusted Iron Mercenary Group, which originally had forty or fifty people, was reduced to only a dozen people.

On the other side, Sarah was still slaughtering their other members like chopping melons and vegetables.

Seeing this scene, the remaining members of the mercenary group suddenly felt a terrifying chill behind their backs!

The mercenary leader asked in horror: "How is this possible!"

"Aren't all the lords of other worlds very weak? How come you have such a strong power!"

Cao Xing did not answer, but asked with a strange look.

"You, the Rusty Iron Mercenary Group, are so weak, and you're also following others to rob people?"

However, it was not that they were too weak, but Cao Xing's strength was already considered a strong man in the Snowy Plains.

Powerful mercenary groups like those basically don't stay in places with relatively scarce resources like the Snowstorm.

Most of them are gathered in the main city of Yongshuang and those ruins.

At this time, the team leader finally realized that he had provoked a tough guy!

Seeing that Cao Xing was about to raise his staff again, the captain hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"

"We were blind and offended Your Excellency!"

"I want to use something to ask for your forgiveness!"

"You must be interested in this thing!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing's mouth curled up.

"Oh? What is it that I'm interested in?"

The team leader said: "It is the legacy of a legendary wizard!"

Cao Xing narrowed his eyes instantly.

"You don't use the legacy of a legendary wizard yourself, so how come you only have this much strength?"

The leader smiled bitterly and said, "The mage's inheritance is hidden in a dangerous place."

"With my strength, I can't get in at all. I can only explore the periphery."

"However, even though it was just the periphery, I was able to gain a large number of magic items!"

"If you can get in, you will definitely be able to obtain the inheritance of that legendary wizard."

"As long as you are willing to let us go, I can tell you the location!"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Why should I believe you?"

"What if you give me a fake location and trick me into going there?"

Upon hearing this, the team leader immediately said excitedly: "I guarantee it with my life!"

"If it's a fake location, you can always kill me!"

Cao Xing shook his head. "Your life is worthless. Besides, I was planning to kill you anyway."

As he finished speaking, he raised his staff again.

A high-speed rotating ice and snow spear was enlarging in front of him at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Puff puff!"

Four damage numbers exceeding ten thousand appeared above his head, and his health dropped significantly again!

"Stop!" the mercenary captain exclaimed.

However, Cao Xing didn't want to pay any attention to him.

As we watched, Cao Xing raised his staff again, and the terrifying ice element condensed.

The crisis of death came over me.

The mercenary captain took out a scroll from his backpack, and a look of pain appeared in his eyes.

"Damn it, you forced me to do it!"

Instantly, he began to inject power into the scroll in his hand.

At the same time, a powerful magical wave appeared!

Then, Cao Xing saw a strong holy light appear before his eyes.

This holy light was so strong that it interfered with the vision of everyone on the field, causing Cao Xing to lose his target.

Then, all the holy light converged towards the same location.

A humanoid creature nearly three meters tall, made entirely of pure light elements, appeared!

It exudes a strong holy light and holds a golden sword in its hand. On its body, which looks as sharp as a knife or an axe, light elements fluctuate like flowing water.

Cao Xing glanced over.

[Temple Guardian: Summon Creatures]

[Level: Level 67 (Seventh Order Leader-level Creature)]

[HP: 3128923/3128923]

[Attack power: 11923~12232]

[Armor: 2892~3126]

[Skills: Master Swordsmanship, Divine Punishment, Dark Nemesis, Light of Change, Honorable Sacrifice]

[Talent: Body of Light Element (When attacked by light attribute, reduce the damage received by 50%)]

[Remaining summoning time: 177 seconds]

...

Seeing the attributes of this creature, Cao Xing was instantly shocked.

"Wow, it's actually a seventh-order leader-level creature."

"And it looks like this was summoned by the mercenary captain through the magic scroll."

He now somewhat believed that this guy might have really been to the place where the great wizard's inheritance was located.

After all, such a precious scroll is not something that ordinary people can get.

At this moment, the mercenary leader seemed to have regained his confidence after summoning the temple guardian.

With a crazy smile on his face, he said, "Damn it, I'll see how arrogant you are."

"Guardian, kill them all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the temple guardian turned into a beam of light and rushed towards Cao Xing at a high speed.

And just then.

Renis, Elisa, and the boar warriors have all jumped out of the deep pit.

Cao Xing said calmly: "Sarah, come over and deal with this temple guardian."

"Everyone else, go deal with the other mercenaries."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow rushed towards the glowing figure at a high speed!
When the temple guardian saw Sarah appear in front of him, he raised the sword in his hand and stabbed her instantly!

This sword was as bright as the sun exploding!

However, the next moment, it lost sight of its opponent.

At some point, Sarah appeared behind it.

And he directly used the burst skill - Death Dance!
"Shua! Poof!"

【-17236! 】

【-18235! 】

【-19246! 】

【-21527! 】

...

As terrifying injury numbers appeared one after another.

The blood volume of this temple guardian began to drain out like water!

The guardian turned around instantly and tried to deal with Sarah.

"Crack!"

The long sword of light continued to sweep across, and the surrounding boulders exploded the moment they came into contact with the sword energy!

boom! Boom!

Violent explosions continued to sound.

This is a master-level battle, the terrifying power even prevents others from getting close.

However, no matter how powerful its attack was, Sarah easily neutralized it.

After all, with the current combat power of this dark elf assassin, he can challenge the seventh-level commander alone!

The guardian of the holy book, who only has the strength of a seventh-order leader, is obviously not good enough.

Killing dances, arcs of light flash, shadows bloom...

As skills were unleashed one after another, the health of this summoned creature dropped rapidly, and it had no power to fight back at all.

When the mercenary captain saw that the summoned creature he had placed high hopes on was unilaterally ravaged by Sarah, the expression on his face froze.

Before he could react.

Fighting had already taken place on the other side.

Under the siege of the wild boar warriors, other members of the Rust Mercenary Corps fell one after another.

In the blink of an eye, only the mercenary leader was left standing there blankly.

And when he saw that the wild boar warriors surrounded him.

A feeling of despair arose in my heart.

With a last glimmer of hope, he asked with a stiff smile, "Sir, can you spare my life?"

However, Cao Xing simply shook his head and said, "No."

With a wave of the staff, the ice-breaking blade was thrown out.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

...

After three terrifying damage numbers.

The mercenary leader's health dropped to zero and he collapsed.

[Successfully killed the leader of the Rusted Iron Mercenary Group: Roderick Nixon lv48, a fifth-order leader-level creature, and gained experience points: 4800]

At this point, dozens of people from the Rusty Iron Mercenary Group were all killed by Cao Xing.

On Sarah's side, she dragged the temple guardian and waited for the summoning time to end.

Anyway, there is no reward for killing this summoned creature, so it’s better to avoid wasting energy.

About a minute later, the guardian of the holy book turned into countless points of light and disappeared on the spot.

Sarah shook the dagger in her hand and disappeared again.

Cao Xing said: "Okay, let's start cleaning up the battlefield."

After hearing this, the wild boar warriors took action.

No one took this episode seriously.

From the time they fell into the trap to the time the Rusted Iron Mercenaries were completely wiped out, it took less than ten minutes in total.

It won't cause any waves in their hearts at all.

As for Cao Xing himself, he walked straight to the mercenary captain and picked up some of the spoils he dropped.

[Obtained: Mercenary Captain Moore's leader-level soul*1]

[Obtain: Expert-level Heart of Strength*1]

[Obtain: Skilled Mercenary Scale Armor (Gold)*1]

[Obtain: Rune Long Sword (Purple)]

[Obtain: Unknown treasure map*1]

[Obtain: Expert-level elemental crystals*10]

[Obtain: Coins*275231]

...

"A leader's soul and an expert-level heart of strength. This is a very good benefit."

Cao Xing felt very satisfied. This was an unexpected surprise on the road.

After all, leader-level souls are also a kind of material that is urgently needed in his territory.

"But what is the other treasure map?"

The next moment, an ancient parchment map appeared in his hand.

It depicts mountains, plains, and rivers.

Amidst the mountains, a red 'X' was seen.

Cao Xing thought: "This red 'X' should be the location of the treasure."

"But where exactly is this location?"

Look at the properties.

【Unknown treasure map】

[Quality: unknown]

[Effect of item: At the coordinates 85231, 6331, 2321, there may be some treasures or traps hidden...]

(Note: An unknown treasure map. No one knows what is there before arriving.)
...

A look of realization suddenly appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

"It actually even marked out the coordinates, which is quite good."

"Could this location recorded above be the place where the great wizard's legacy is as this guy said?"

Just now, the mercenary leader used a powerful magic scroll to summon a powerful creature called the [Temple Guardian].

This shows that there is a high probability that the other party has really been to the place of inheritance.

This aroused Cao Xing's interest.

He glanced at the coordinates and surprise appeared in his eyes again.

"Wow, I didn't expect it to be near Yongshuang Main City!"

"Then I can stop by and take a look next time I go to exchange for the legendary dagger."
