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

Chapter 574 The Magical Seven-Colored Crystal, the upcoming expansion pack. (5200)

"Midwifery?"

Cao Xing was somewhat stunned.

The Crystal Clan member exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, yes!"

"The little crystal on Little Amber is about to successfully split, and our Crystal Clan will soon have a new member."

Cao Xing then remembered that the Crystal Clan's method of reproduction was rather unique.

It is a crystal that grows from one's own body, and through continuous growth, it will eventually fall off and become a small crystal person.

At the same time, Cao Xing heard a sound of crystal shattering coming from inside, accompanied by the crisp sound of the small amber stone.

"Oh! It's born!"

Upon hearing this, a strong light shone in the gem-like pupils of the other Crystal Clan members, and they all rushed into the room.

Cao Xing, too, looked into the stone house with a curious expression.

At this moment, the three-leaf stone is helping the little amber stone up from the stone bed.

Nearby, a group of Crystal People surrounded a newly born Crystal Person, looking it over from all angles.

This little crystal human is only twenty or thirty centimeters tall, about the same height as a human baby.

However, they are born with the ability to walk and talk independently, which is much better than that of ordinary babies.

He is currently communicating with his people.

"interesting……"

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

At the same time, the three-leaf stone, radiating a crystal-like luster, helped the little amber stone slowly push through the crowd and came to Cao Xing's side.

"Good day, my lord."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, looked at the little crystal human behind her, and asked, "Is that Little Amber's child?"

A look of confusion appeared in Xiao Hushi's eyes, as if he didn't quite understand.

Three-Leaf Stone explained softly, "My lord, in our Crystal Clan, we have no concept of parents. These little Crystal Clan members are all our sisters."

A look of realization dawned on Cao Xing's eyes.

Little Amber said, "Lord, this is the first Crystal Clan member born since we came to this territory. She doesn't have a name yet. Would you like to give her one?"

Upon hearing this, the other Crystal Clan members' eyes lit up, and they all gathered around, clamoring for Cao Xing to come up with a name.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said, "Let's call it Firestone."

This was just a name he came up with on the spot, but the Crystal Clan seemed very satisfied and started calling out the little Crystal Clan member's name.

They were all immersed in the joy of the new member.

Only the sensible Three-Leaf Stone came to Cao Xing's side and asked softly, "Lord, is there anything you need our Crystal Clan to do?"

Cao Xing shook his head. "How many gems have you produced recently?"

Upon hearing this question, Tsubaki seemed to have been prepared.

She reached for her waist, where a small bag was hanging, and then handed the bag to him.

"My lord, they are all here."

Cao Xing accepted it.

[Received: Dark Crystal * 54]

[Received: 6 Shining Crystals]

[Received: Rainbow Crystal (Orange) *1]

...

"Oh? There's even a seven-colored crystal this time?" Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise.

Three-Leaf Stone nodded gently and said, "Yes, this seven-colored crystal was produced by Little Flint."

I took the seven-colored crystal out separately and examined it in my hand.

Just like its name suggests, this prismatic crystal emits a rainbow of colors even without a light source, making it look absolutely beautiful.

I glanced at the attributes.

【Seven-Colored Crystal (Orange)】

[Quality: Epic]

[Item Attributes: When socketed into a weapon or equipment, it increases Charisma by 30 points and boosts the equipment's base attributes by 30%, with a 50% chance to randomly enhance one of the equipment's special effects.]

(Note: Inlaying a rainbow crystal will increase the equipment's level by 30.)
(Note 2: Each piece of equipment can be inlaid with a maximum of 1 crystal.)
...

"Good heavens, no wonder it's the rarest seven-colored crystal! Its properties are much stronger than those of the sparkling crystal!"

Clearly, this crystal is priceless. The 30% attribute boost goes without saying, but what's most special is the ability it grants later on.

"Enhance a special effect of an equipment item?"

"So, even legendary special effects can be enhanced?"

The legendary equipment in his territory all have incredibly powerful legendary effects. For example, the Lake Maiden's Sword of Assam permanently increases attack power by slaying enemies.

For example, Braum's Shield of Origin can transform him into a giant titan, and so on.

If these special effects could be further enhanced, there would be a huge improvement.

Cao Xing grew to like these Crystal People more and more as he looked at them.

These are truly a group of creatures that lay golden eggs!

"Well done, Trefoil Stone."

“We recently discovered a new type of crystal mine in our territory, called Shadow Amethyst. We’ll give you a change of pace when the time comes.”

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Mitsuhashi's face.

"Yes, Lord Lord."

...

...

After leaving the area where the Crystal Clan lived, Cao Xing did not immediately take the crystals to Harold for crafting.

After all, this thing will increase the usage level by 30 when it's socketed, so I'll have to wait until I reach level 100.

Next, he went to the library to browse through a few books.

A beautiful figure still sat in the corner; it was Gwyneth.

Since losing her voice, she seemed to spend all her time with books, and she didn't even notice Cao Xing's arrival.

Cao Xing pondered to himself, "According to the old king, the legendary Holy Light Sage in the Holy See possesses extremely powerful healing abilities, which could restore her voice."

"Besides that, I'll go to the Kingdom of Youlan to find Rosie from Chuanhai Fortress."

"We can't go to the Kingdom of Orchid anytime soon, so a faster way is for Isabel to try and become a Legendary!"

Isabel has already broken through to Hero level. If she can return before the monster siege, she might be able to raise her level to 100 in one fell swoop and then try to reach Legend level!

At that time, Cao Xing himself will be able to possess a Holy Light Sage, and there will be no need to seek help from the Holy See or go to the Kingdom of Youlan.

...

...

At 11 p.m., Cao Xing left the library and returned to the lord's castle.

After taking a hot bath, he comfortably held the beauty in his arms and drifted off to sleep.

The night passed quickly.

The system notification appeared on time the following day.

[Attention survivors! You have reached day 45 of the development phase. The final monster siege will begin tonight!]

[The enhanced Ice Nest event will end tonight, and no more Ice Nests will be deployed.]

The Gold Points Shop will close in 24 hours. Please redeem your points in time to avoid unnecessary losses.

The new expansion will launch in seven days. Please be prepared.

[Weather Forecast: Today, the windy and snowy plains will be sunny with a low of -54℃ to -63℃. It is a good day for outdoor activities and territorial expansion.]

...

Once the series of system notifications ended, the chat channel was filled with enthusiastic discussion once again!
"The development period of one and a half months has come to an end just like that, and I haven't even upgraded all the city walls to the advanced level yet!"

"Yeah, it's too fast. I finally managed to get a few expert-level Power Hearts, and it's already over before I even broke through!"

"Everyone, the Gold Points Shop is closing soon. Don't forget to redeem your points."

……

Besides the regional channels, the world channel was also flooded with all sorts of information.

"Brothers, the system has clearly stated that a new expansion will be released in seven days. Does anyone know what this expansion will contain?"

"Who knows! So far, the system hasn't revealed a single clue about the new expansion. I saw some people on the forum saying it was a scourge of the dead, is that true or not?"

"It's probably true. I saw people on the forum saying that there used to be a city of the dead near their territory, but all the undead in it disappeared overnight! And it wasn't just one city, but many cities where the undead disappeared!"

"Holy crap! Is that even possible? Then it seems highly likely to be a calamity of the undead!"

"Yeah, luckily I stockpiled some stuff to deal with the undead, hopefully it'll come in handy."

In an instant, the prices of items related to the undead on the trading market soared once again.

...

...

Clearly, these survivors were all wrong.

Those vanished spirits were all transformed into Ascalonian spirits by the Duke of Paladin.

During this period, Cao Xing provided him with several locations, all within 3,000 kilometers of the raging snowfield.

Each location contains a large number of undead, no less than 50,000.

Under the combined suppression of Duke Baladin and the Black Knight Tyrness, a supreme being, the undead inside had no ability to resist and had all submitted.

Currently, they have more than 400,000 undead under their control.

With so many undead, Duke Paladin's authority surged dramatically, and his level returned to 70.

It feels like if I gave him another 100,000 undead troops, he could even be upgraded to hero level.

...

…Cao Xing and Liu Muxue also saw this system notification.

"Seven days? That means the Blood Legion is about to be born..."

His expression instantly became more serious.

A thoughtful look also appeared in the eyes of Liu Muxue, the woman beside him.

A moment later, she suddenly asked, "Ah Xing, you said that this time the system has specified the time for the new data."

"Is this the critical moment for the Wardens to summon the Blood Legion?"

Cao Xing glanced at her and understood what Liu Muxue meant.

She was suggesting that they take advantage of this opportunity to disrupt the Watchers or delay the arrival of the Blood Legion.

"That's probably true, but there's nothing we can do about it."

"After all, we don't even know where the Watchers are located."

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in Cao Xing's mind.

Perhaps... he should know.

However, Cao Xing was unsure of the other party's attitude and was unable to contact him.

He sighed, "It seems the arrival of the Blood Legion is a foregone conclusion."

"However... it is still necessary to inform the old king of this information so that he can make some preparations in advance."

After a pause, Cao Xing said, "Let's go, Mu Xue. Today is the last day. Let's go and continue to assign tasks to the soldiers."

"Okay." The beauty nodded gently.

The two quickly washed up and then went outside the territory together.

at the same time.

Outside the lord's castle, all the combatants from the entire territory had gathered.

The warriors knew that today was the last day of the development period, so they stood tall and focused intently on their lord, ready for battle.

Cao Xing looked around and once again tallied up all the combat forces in his territory.

Currently, almost all combat personnel in the entire territory, except for those hero-level units, have reached the maximum level for the current stage.

Even the newly summoned Byver Blackheart, after two days of frantic sprinting, saw its level soar from 40 to 64!
In addition, there will be a monster siege event tonight, which will definitely allow Baifer Blackheart to directly reach level 70.

In addition, Liu Muxue's level increased to 94, and Sarah's level increased to 91.

Lana, who recently joined the team, has also recovered to level 86 after two days of battles.

Cao Xing's own level also surged to level 82 in one go!
It can be said that everyone's strength has increased dramatically!

A smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips as he thought to himself, "Very good. I still have a day to develop. At the current speed, leveling up one or two more levels shouldn't be a problem."

"Then, taking advantage of the monster siege at night, we might have a chance to get everyone to level 100!"

Thinking of this, he quickly gave the order: "Everyone, please!"

The thousands of combat personnel straightened up!
"Today, everyone continue out to search for the Ice Nest and engage in battle!"

"In seven days, we will face a severe challenge. Before that, everyone needs to have greater strength!"

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers on the field responded solemnly!

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

Several thousand people dispersed in droves, and then a day of fighting began.

Just as Cao Xing was also preparing to go out to fight.

Suddenly, a dazzling holy light appeared in the teleportation array area.

A clear, ethereal voice reached my ears.

"My esteemed lord, I have returned to my territory."

In an instant, Cao Xing's eyes lit up!
"I know, I'll be right over."

He went over immediately.

Then, at a glance, they saw a woman holding a staff, radiating light, walking towards them like a holy preacher.

It was Isabel.

Right now, she's the territory member Cao Xing is most looking forward to returning to!

Upon arriving beside Cao Xing, the Holy Light Priest bowed slightly and then performed a salute.

"My esteemed lord, I have lived up to your expectations and successfully inherited the power of that legendary light mage."

Cao Xing sensed it and found that Isabel's aura had indeed increased dramatically!

Furthermore, her potential has even reached the Dominator level.

A look of admiration immediately appeared in her eyes. "Very good! Isabel, you are indeed the most suitable person for that inheritance."

The Holy Light Priest remained humble, saying, "It is the Lord who has bestowed upon me such a precious opportunity, and I will remember it forever."

A faint smile graced her beautiful face.

Cao Xing's mood also improved.

After a pause, the Holy Light Priest continued, "My Lord, I gained a tremendous boost in that inheritance."

"Not only did he successfully break through to the eighth-tier hero level, but his potential was also maximized, and he successfully became a dominant-level creature."

"In addition, I have learned a new forbidden spell, a legendary spell."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's face lit up with even greater joy.

I quickly glanced at Isabel's attributes.

[Holy Light Priestess: Isabel Gospel]

[Race: Human Race]

[Level: 85 (Eighth-Tier Overlord-Level Creature)]

[Detailed attributes: Click to view]

...

After reviewing Isabel's attributes, Cao Xing was extremely satisfied!

Clearly, she gained a great deal from the inheritance of that light-element mage!

Not only did its potential and rank increase, but it also gained several powerful skills.

Especially her forbidden spell—Blazing Torrent—has a terrifying damage coefficient.

Even its killing range is only below Cao Xing's Doomsday Ice Star!

In addition, after becoming a dominant-level creature, the newly activated domain further increased her output capabilities.

"Perfect timing, tonight is the time for the monsters to siege the city."

"With this forbidden spell, it means she also has a way to clear monsters on a large scale. Maybe she can really push her level to 100!"

"Then, we can try to get Isabel to break through to Legendary!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing instantly became excited!

At this moment, Isabel seemed to remember something and respectfully said, "By the way, my lord."

"The owner of that legacy told me that he was seriously wounded in a battle with the Blood Legion, and then, after realizing that his days were numbered, he left behind this legacy."

Cao Xing's eyes narrowed instantly, "The Blood Legion?"

Did he say anything else?

Isabel nodded slightly and continued, "In addition, he said that in the last days of his life, he was trying to find a way to break the curse of the Blood Legion, and even used his own body for research."

"Finally, before his death, he developed a secret medicine formula for the Blood Legion, which could be used to combat several of the Blood Legion's curses."

"Hmm? A formula to combat several curses?"

A look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes. "Let me see."

"Yes."

Isabel reached out her slender hand, took out a formula, and handed it to him.

[Obtained: Blood Suppression Recipe (Orange)]

...

He quickly glanced at the attributes.

【Blood-Suppressing Formula (Orange)】

[Quality: Epic]

[Blueprint Description: This blueprint can be used to create a secret potion that grants immunity to the power of blood.]

[Effects of the secret medicine: After consumption, it will keep your blood in a calm state for the next hour, and will make you immune to the 'Curse of Withering Life', 'Curse of Blood Clotting', etc.]

[Required materials for crafting: Master-level Alchemy Proficiency, 1 Glass Bottle, 10 Blood Coagulation Herbs, 1 Blue Blood Lotus, 200ml Extreme Cold Water]

(Introduction: The legendary mage Vittorio Lightfall, after being defeated by the Blood Legion's centurion, suffers from the corrosive effects of the blood curse day and night, and is filled with resentment.)

In the final moments of his life, he began to experiment relentlessly on his own body, ultimately developing this formula.
...

...

Cao Xing's face was filled with extreme shock.

"It really is a formula that can make one immune to curses, and the effect lasts for a whole hour!"

Clearly, this drawing is quite important.

Especially at this critical juncture, it even surpasses a legendary piece of equipment!
Although he hadn't experienced the Blood Legion's curse yet, he knew without a doubt that it must be incredibly terrifying!
After all, this was a terrifying curse that caused the downfall of a legendary light mage.

Although Cao Xing has the Light Feather Chicken, a curse nemesis, he can even dispel legendary curses.

However, its [Purifying Light] is single-target and has a cooldown period.

In a large-scale battlefield, this chicken alone certainly wouldn't be able to take care of everyone.

But now with this potion, and combined with the amplification of [Eternal Power], Cao Xing's side is essentially immune to the Blood Legion's curse.

If he could produce more in bulk, he could even provide some support to the old king, increasing his survival rate in the fight against the Blood Legion.
