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

Chapter 677 New Pet—The Powerful Ice Crystal Dragon.

The eyes of everyone inside the castle gleamed.

Cao Xing was also very happy to see Bingbing fly up.

However, he did not see the system notification that Bingbing had passed through her childhood.

Cao Xing muttered to himself, "It's been 21 years of cumulative acceleration, and I still haven't passed the infancy stage..."

"The growth cycle of a dragon is truly terrifying."

He shook his head, then looked up and called out, "Bingbing, come down."

Upon hearing its master's call, the young dragon quickly turned around and landed steadily beside him, obediently nuzzling his hand with its head.

Cao Xing took out three more dark green gems from his backpack.

It contains an extremely pure life force, far surpassing the few tree hearts that were fed to it earlier.

These are precisely the human-faced tree hearts of the leader level.

One pill can accelerate Bingbing's growth by 10 years. Even with repeated use, the effect diminishes, but three pills can still accelerate it by at least 20 years.

Cao Xing let out a soft breath, "Come on, I don't believe I can't get you through your childhood today."

After saying that, he fed the remaining three human-faced tree hearts to them.
"Crack--Crack--"

The crisp chewing sound rang out again, and the pure life force was quickly absorbed by the demonic dragon.

Its body underwent another clear change, and this time the change was far more dramatic than any of the previous ones.

His height increased dramatically from 70 centimeters to one meter!

Its scales also became thicker, as if they were covered with blocks of ice.

“Yin——!”

With a loud dragon roar, Bingbing instantly spread her dragon wings, creating gusts of strong air currents!
"Wow!"

The airflow carried a large amount of ice crystal fragments, enveloping the entire lord's castle hall, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Amidst the countless ice crystal fragments, a small yet powerful figure stood proudly.

It exudes a strong and vast aura of coldness.

It seemed to herald the birth of a dragon king!

At the same time, a system prompt appeared.

[Feeding successful. Your pet, Bingbing, has received accelerated growth. This acceleration period is 25 years.]

Congratulations! Your pet, Bingbing, has successfully passed through its infancy and entered its growth stage.

The pet panel is now open!

……

At this moment, a smile reappeared on Cao Xing's face.

"Damn it, it's finally turned on!"

Everyone watched Bingbing's transformation with excitement.

When the storm subsided, a figure about one meter tall, radiating intense cold, clearly appeared before everyone.

Heri exclaimed in surprise, "This little dragon has suddenly become so powerful!"

"It feels like it's almost stronger than when I first came to this territory!"

When Heri was first summoned, she was a fourth-tier leader.

But she said that Bingbing was stronger than she was back then.

This means that this little guy's strength may far exceed that of the fourth rank!

With an expectant look, I glanced at its attribute panel.

Cao Xing's pet: Bingbing

[Satiety: 80]

【Loyalty: 100】

……

After reading Bingbing's attributes, Cao Xing's lips curled into a strong smile once again!

"Damn, those skills are outrageous!"

"There are a total of 16 dragon spells, ranging from basic to advanced."

"And as you continue to grow, you can unlock new skills!"

"So perverted!"

The most terrifying thing is its commander-level skill – Endless Ice Abyss Flowers.

This is a single-target, powerful crowd control ability that can seal enemies even if they are of a higher level.

Its effect is in no way inferior to his forbidden spell—Frost Crystal Prison: Ice Burial!
At this moment, Cao Xing felt like he had struck gold.

As a subordinate lord, Liu Muxue can also view Bingbing's panel.

Upon seeing its terrifying attributes and numerous skills, the woman's face showed surprise.

"Ice-like attributes... are so strong!"

Cao Xing nodded. "It is indeed very strong, and its growth value is also outrageous."

"I estimate that its potential far surpasses that of other dragons."

Cao Xing's prediction was correct.

Most dragons, having just passed their infancy, are only third or fourth-tier leader-level creatures.

Dragons like Bingbing, who start as fourth-tier commanders, are extremely rare.

Moreover, once it breaks through to the sixth rank, it can automatically increase its potential and become a dominant dragon.

That's pretty outrageous!

This must be its mother, that legendary... oh no, that demigod dragon's special care for Bingbing.

After all, even Serafis only has the potential to become a commander!

"Yan..."

Bingbing felt the power within her body and let out a series of exhilarating dragon roars.

At the same time, Cao Xing looked at Tong Chuchu and Elisa beside him and instructed them, "From now on, Bingbing will be in your care."

"Once the blizzard stops, you can take Bingbing outside to level up."

The three girls exchanged glances, and smiles of joy appeared on their faces.

“Okay, big brother, we will take good care of Bingbing,” Tong Chuchu replied obediently.

Elisa, who was standing nearby, was so happy when she heard this that she almost jumped for joy.

"Great! Elisa is going to have a dragon as her bodyguard!"

"Long live the lord!"

She looked excitedly at the baby dragon.

"Little Bingbing, come here quickly, your big sister will take you to eat something delicious."

At this point, she secretly took out a piece of 'special pet food' from her backpack.

"Sniff sniff..."

Bingbing seemed to smell something and sniffed the air a few times.

Then, involuntarily, their gazes turned towards this direction.

When he saw what Elisa was holding, a look of longing immediately appeared in his eyes!

Specialized pet food like this is incredibly appealing to many pets!
Elisa had seen Cao Xing use it a few times before, so she secretly hid a few of them as well.

At this moment, Bingbing seemed to be trying her best to suppress the desire in her heart, standing still without moving.

Seeing this, Elisa asked in a seductive voice, "Want some? Bingbing."

The young dragon couldn't help but nod.

"Then follow me."

Bingbing glanced at Elisa, then turned to look at Cao Xing, seemingly quite hesitant.

Cao Xing nodded and chuckled, "Go ahead, you can just stick with them most of the time."

"Yan..."

After receiving its owner's approval, Bingbing let out a soft groan and ran over. Elisa fed Bingbing a piece of pet food and then began to stroke its head.

Xiao Chuchu and Heli also tentatively stepped forward.

Soon, the three girls became familiar with Bingbing.

Even Bingbing is no longer so resistant to them.

Amidst laughter and playful chatter, the three people and the dragon left the lord's castle.

Cao Xing smiled after watching them leave.

He turned to the woman beside him and said, "Mu Xue, let's go back and rest too."

"Mm." Liu Muxue nodded gently.

The two took a hot shower together and then returned to the warm room.

……

into the night...

The cold wind howled, and the snow fell heavily.

The violent snowfall showed no signs of stopping.

All the survivors, along with the beasts, huddled in their caves and shelters.

The night passed quickly.

The next day...

The system prompt appeared again.

[Attention survivors! You have survived day 15 of the turbulent period.]

[Weather Forecast: Blizzard continues today, temperatures range from -64℃ to -75℃. Please take precautions against the cold and reinforce your territory's facilities...]

……

When the notification appeared, Cao Xing got up again and drew back the curtains.

Outside the window, snow was falling heavily, and the world was a vast expanse of white. The thick snowflakes enveloped the entire territory in a silvery white.

Seeing this, Cao Xing said with some concern, "It seems that this blizzard will continue for a few more days."

Liu Muxue walked to his side, her gaze also fixed on the window, and said, "Ah Xing, the staff haven't been able to go out to collect resources these past few days."

"Yes."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Just like the last time we encountered a blizzard, everyone had to stay in their territory and couldn't go out.

This also means that the development of the entire territory will come to a standstill.

If it only delays the development progress by a few days, it's not a big deal.

But now, an even more serious matter is facing Cao Xing.

That's a food problem.

Cao Xing pondered, "The food supplies in our territory won't last for many more days."

"We don't know how long this blizzard will last. If it's only for a short time, then it should be fine."

"If this continues for more than a week, then we're in big trouble."

Although a blizzard lasting more than a week sounds a bit far-fetched.

But in this world, anything is possible.

"With such a large population in the territory, if we stay there for a long time, we will consume a lot of resources every day, but the income will be almost zero."

"If this continues, I'm afraid my territory's resource reserves will soon be depleted."

What worried Cao Xing even more was that Hilton and Jess's caravan was still out collecting food for him.

This sudden blizzard might hinder their operations.

If a caravan gets stuck on the road, it will delay the delivery of supplies, and by the time the blizzard ends, the territory will not have enough food to replenish.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing took a deep breath.

He knew he had to plan ahead and take some emergency measures.

Cao Xing then pressed the communication channel on his ear and ordered, "All core combat personnel of the territory."

"Including Cao Yi, Zelko, Da Hua, and Yolen, they all came to the lord's castle for a meeting."

Upon hearing Cao Xing's order, the people in the territory were somewhat taken aback.

Since the territory was established so long ago, this was the first time the lord had called so many people to a meeting.

However, they didn't ask any more questions and immediately got to work.

Cao Xing looked at Liu Muxue beside him and said, "Let's go down too."

"it is good."

The two quickly donned their armor and equipment.

After a quick wash, I went downstairs.

Inside the spacious lord's hall, Cao Xing walked to the [Shining Throne] and took out dozens of chairs from his backpack.

Then start placing them in order.

Soon, a council hall was set up.

After waiting for a while.

Two powerful figures were the first to push open the castle gates and enter.

The first to come in was Assam, followed by Andrew.

Looking at Cao Xing, who was sitting upright on the throne, and the powerful and beautiful Aurora Knight beside him.

The two exchanged a glance, quickly stepped forward, and bowed in greeting.

"My esteemed lord, my beautiful lady, may you be well."

Cao Xing nodded slightly. "Please have a seat."

The two sat down on either side.

Then, more figures walked in.

Renis, the Black Smoke Shaman Brot, the Boar Warrior Lab, the Blood Spider Queen Hilda...

Even the giant Jord Ironfrost, as well as two other new members, Byr Blackheart and the priestess Fainaz, came in.

In addition, there were the four staff members he specifically named.

Once everyone had arrived, there were more than 40 figures gathered in the hall.

They were either sitting in chairs, standing still, or some even plopped down on the floor.

The entire lord's castle was very quiet.

All eyes were fixed on the man on the throne, awaiting his next instructions.

After a moment, Cao Xing slowly said, "The purpose of calling everyone here today is about this blizzard outside."

"I think you all know what's going on outside. This blizzard is very serious, and I don't know when it will end."

"Currently, our territory is facing some difficulties, and some supplies are running out."

"The first thing to be affected is food."

"The food in the entire territory is only enough for us to last another 5 days."

As soon as Cao Xing finished speaking, the people on the field exchanged glances, their faces showing some surprise.

Most of the people here are combat personnel; they only know how to fight and train and have never paid attention to this kind of thing.

This was the first time they had heard Cao Xing say that the territory was running out of food.

And suddenly it reached the point where it could only last for five days.

A look of guilt appeared in the eyes of Jod, the giant among the crowd.

He said apologetically, "My lord, it's because Jode ate too much."

“Starting today, Jode will reduce his food intake and only eat one meal a day.”

This several-meter-tall giant sat on the ground like a small mountain, and his pitiful expression at that moment was quite a contrast.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Qiao De, although you have a big appetite, the problem of insufficient food is not caused by you."

"The main reason is that our territory has developed too fast and some infrastructure has not kept up."

"Currently, our territory has more than 8,000 people. Based on a daily food consumption of at least 30,000 kilograms, we need at least tens of thousands of acres of fertile land to supply them."

“Our territory currently only has about two hundred acres of fertile land, so this is not your fault.”

Upon hearing this, the people on the field exchanged glances again.

At this moment, Assam took the lead and said, "My lord, please give the order, and we will do everything in our power to help the territory overcome this crisis!"

Others echoed.

"That's right, Your Lordship, please give the order! We will cooperate fully with you!"

Cao Xing nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes: "Very good, I do have some things I need you to do next."

"In this kind of blizzard, visibility is very low. Even a master-level expert would get lost and lose their way."

"But everyone has been blessed by me, and their strength far surpasses that of other experts of the same level. They are fully capable of operating in such a harsh environment."

At this point, his tone became a bit serious.

"Therefore, I have decided to send you out now to search for food in the blizzard plains or the surrounding areas."

“I will give each of you a bottle of cold-resistance potion, and then have Allen attach wind beacons to you.”

"This way, even if you get lost in a blizzard, we can sense your location and provide timely rescue."

After hearing this, everyone understood what Cao Xing meant.

A look of determination appeared in their eyes.

"My lord, we will certainly live up to your expectations!" Assam led the response!

The others also gripped their weapons, seemingly ready to plunge into the snowstorm at any moment.

Cao Xing smiled and then took out dozens of bottles of [Cold Resistance Potion (Gold)] from his backpack.

“Now, apart from a few legendary experts, everyone else has come to me to collect their potions.”

"Allen, take them outside to attach the wind beacon."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

The group immediately got to work.
