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

Chapter 699: Accepting a C-level mission and arriving at the main city of the Youlan Kingdom.

Upon seeing the mission prompt, Cao Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

Clearly, the task he was commissioning was of very low difficulty, and it was not worth the Ice Crystal King giving Cao Xing such a large area as the Gale Snowfield.

This is more of a gesture of goodwill and gratitude.

After all, everyone now knows that Cao Xing already possesses eight legendary combat powers.

In the last battle, they even killed a demigod.

In the future, he may even be able to possess his own demigod-level combat power.

It can be said that he is not only powerful, but also has unlimited potential.

Such an excellent ally is naturally worth winning over and investing in.

Cao Xing nodded slightly and took the old wooden comb from the Ice Crystal King.

Then he solemnly said, "I understand, Your Majesty. I will bring this item with me."

[Obtained: Rosie's Comb (Quest Item)]

[You have successfully accepted the quest: The Ice Crystal King's Request (Rank C).]

……

When the Ice Crystal King saw that he had accepted the task, a relieved smile appeared on his aged face.

Without much communication, the Ice Crystal King understood that Cao Xing had accepted his goodwill.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly asked, "By the way, Your Majesty, where is the old clan chief?"

The Ice Crystal King replied, "The old patriarch is still in the palace, but he is recuperating and it is not convenient for him to come out at the moment."

"I see..." Cao Xing nodded in realization.

Seeing this, the Ice Crystal King said in a gentle tone, "Then I won't take up Lord Cao Xing's time any longer. Let's go to the depths of the palace now and activate the ancient teleportation array."

Cao Xing was about to agree, but then seemed to remember something and quickly said...

"Wait a moment, Your Majesty, I have a friend who hasn't arrived yet."

Upon hearing this, the Ice Crystal King stopped and waited patiently to the side.

At the same time, Cao Xing quickly opened a private chat channel and contacted Bai Zhi.

They soon learned that she was waiting for them at the Helenda Tavern in the city, the same tavern where they had stayed last time.

Cao Xing quickly said, "Your Majesty, Lord of Oran, please wait here for a moment while I go and fetch my friend."

The Ice Crystal King nodded. "It's alright, go ahead, Lord Cao Xing."

Lord Oren, standing nearby, had absolutely no objections.

Cao Xing didn't waste any time and immediately took action.

To save time, a pair of transparent wind wings appeared behind him.

The next moment, with a whoosh, it shot directly into the air.

And with an explosive speed of over a thousand meters per second, it suddenly shot forward.

"Shh-!"

Like a sharp arrow, it streaked across the sky above the palace, so fast that the soldiers had no time to react.

Just three or four seconds later, Cao Xing arrived above the Helenda Tavern.

Then, his gaze fell on the street below.

Helenda's Tavern was as lively as ever, with people coming and going.

However, the crowds would instinctively avoid one particular figure.

The figure had white hair and exquisite features, yet possessed an icy indifference.

In addition, the chill emanating from her body seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

It gives people a feeling that strangers should stay away.

The figure was Bai Zhi.

After seeing Cao Xing's private message, he went outside the tavern to wait.

The next moment, Cao Xing's wings flapped, and he swooped down like a meteor.

"call--"

In an instant, he appeared before the white-haired beauty.

Bai Zhi was still in a daze when she saw the figure that suddenly appeared in front of her.

Cao Xing extended a hand and said in a calm tone, "There are still people waiting for us in the palace. To save time, I'll take you there with me."

"it is good……"

Bai Zhi responded subconsciously, then extended a slender, white hand.

Before she could react, she felt a warm and strong hand grasp her wrist.

Then it flew directly into the air with her!

"Huhu——!"

The wind whistled past my ears, and the surrounding scenery rushed past.

To accommodate Bai Zhi, Cao Xing slowed his speed to just over 700 meters per second.

Even so, the two arrived at the palace in just a few seconds.

And it landed gently in front of the Ice Crystal King.

Lord Oran looked at Cao Xing, who came and went like the wind, and a look of admiration appeared in his eyes once again.

"Lord Cao Xing is truly an incredible being."

"As a mage, not only is his magical power as vast as the sea, but his speed is also astonishing!"

Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, I have to say it.

Lord Oran is no match for Cao Xing now.

Thinking back to a few months ago, when the two first met, Cao Xing was only at the fifth level of combat power, which was vastly different from his own.

In the blink of an eye, they have far surpassed themselves.

Thinking of this, a look of emotion appeared in the eyes of the Lord of Oran City.

Cao Xing brought Bai Zhi to the two of them, released his grip on her wrist, and said, "Your Majesty, my friend has arrived."

The Ice Crystal King nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Bai Zhi beside him, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

He exclaimed, "Such a pure ice-type physique! You are truly a born ice-attribute powerhouse. In our extremely cold world, you can unleash even more formidable strength."

"Lord Cao Xing's friends are indeed all extraordinary!"

Having lived for over a thousand years, he could tell at a glance that Bai Zhi had an extraordinary physique.

On the other hand, the survivors directly listed this physique as a talent and displayed it on their character panel.

Cao Xing chuckled lightly: "Your Majesty is too kind. Let's hurry up and set off now."

"it is good."

The Ice Crystal King nodded slightly, then with a wave of his sleeve, led everyone out into the depths of the palace.

At this moment, Bai Zhi was still in a state of complete bewilderment.

Did she hear it correctly?
Cao Xing had just addressed the old man as 'Your Majesty'.

Could it be... that he is the king of the Ice Crystal Kingdom? The supreme ruler of the entire country?
At this moment, a storm was raging in Bai Zhi's heart!

In particular, seeing Cao Xing chatting and laughing with him, and the old man being so polite to him, completely overturned his expectations.

After all, how many survivors have been able to come into contact with beings of this level so far?
Not to mention, he even made the king of a country treat him with great respect.

However, considering the series of major events Cao Xing had previously accomplished...

It's not surprising that he knew the Ice Crystal King.

"call……"

Bai Zhi took a deep breath to calm herself down and followed behind the three.

A few minutes later.

The Ice Crystal King has led them deep into the palace.

An even more ancient and magnificent teleportation array appeared before everyone's eyes.

The surface of this ancient teleportation array is covered with complex runes, which emit waves of spatial fluctuations.

"Go in, Lord Cao Xing," the Ice Crystal King said calmly.

Cao Xing nodded slightly, and then stepped into the teleportation array with Bai Zhi and the Lord of Oran City.

He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

The Ice Crystal King chuckled and nodded, then casually waved his hand.

Several items flew out of his hand and landed above the teleportation array.

The next moment, a dazzling beam of light shot into the sky.

"Buzz-!"

At the same time, as the light enveloped Cao Xing and the others, everyone felt a tearing sensation.

It was as if I had been pulled into a special rotating tunnel.

It was pitch black all around, and I could only feel my own shadow spinning wildly!

"Splash... splash..."

After undergoing high-intensity rotation.

Cao Xing felt a churning in his stomach and almost vomited.

"vomit!!!"

Even a level 100 hero like him was like this, let alone the Lord of Oran City and Bai Zhi beside him. The two of them also closed their eyes tightly, their faces pale.

Cao Xing couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Damn it, no wonder it's a teleportation array specifically designed for legendary-level experts."

"The noise and disturbance caused by this kind of transmission is something that ordinary people cannot withstand."

Finally, after a few more seconds, the dizzying sensation gradually subsided.

The three of them regained their footing.

The surrounding darkness quickly receded, and the scene gradually became clear.

Cao Xing opened his eyes, but the scene before him startled him slightly.

What comes into view is an ancient palace covered with vines and orchids!
This kingdom seems to blend into nature, with vines winding like snakes and climbing all over the city walls.

The delicate fragrance of orchids mingled with the cool breeze, giving one a sense of tranquility and clarity.

Cao Xing looked up and saw a faint blue light curtain enveloping the entire city.

It also completely isolates the outside world from wind and snow.

Moreover, the temperature inside the city was warm as springtime, a stark contrast to the frigid conditions outside.

At this moment, everyone was somewhat stunned.

Bai Zhi opened her eyes wide and murmured, "In such an extremely cold world, there is actually such a beautiful and warm city."

"Incredible..."

Lord Oran couldn't help but sigh softly, "This is the main city of the Oran Kingdom, it's so beautiful..."

"As expected of a great nation that has existed for thousands of years."

At the same time, a system notification appeared in front of Cao Xing.

You have arrived in a brand new area: Linglan Main City

[Gained 30 map exploration experience points and 1000 reputation points]

……

"I didn't expect to arrive in the main city of the Orchid Kingdom so soon."

Cao Xing chuckled and shook his head.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he summoned all thirty-odd powerful warriors he had brought, except for his pets such as the mammoth, Big White.

"Crash..."

One after another, powerful figures appeared before the three of them.

As they broke free of their undead state, terrifying auras surged into the sky, as if even the air itself trembled!
In an instant, all living beings in the entire Linglan main city felt this heart-palpitating pressure!
It should be noted that a hero-level powerhouse possesses the ability to destroy a city.

On Cao Xing's side, everyone possessed power far exceeding that of ordinary hero-level experts.

What's more, there are four legendary-level powerhouses among them!
A terrifying aura swept across the surroundings like a tidal wave, instantly covering the entire Linglan main city.

The civilians all turned pale and stood frozen in place, afraid to move.

Cao Xing also realized this and quickly said, "Alright, everyone, conceal your auras, don't frighten the civilians of this country."

Upon hearing this, the group of powerful figures suppressed their auras.

Actually, they didn't do it on purpose. It's just that they had just come out of the necromancy bag, and after transforming from undead into living people, their aura was a little hard to control.

After suppressing their inner energy, everyone couldn't help but look around.

A moment later, curiosity and surprise appeared in their eyes.

They were equally amazed by the beauty and grandeur of the city.

At the same time, several soldiers who were on duty nearby sensed the burst of energy and rushed over immediately.

When they saw so many terrifying and unfamiliar beings suddenly appear around the teleportation array, they froze on the spot.

Their eyes widened, and their voices trembled as they exclaimed, "By the Goddess of Orchids! So...so many powerful beings..."

Another soldier stammered, "Quickly...quickly inform Her Majesty the Queen!"

Only then did the soldiers realize what was happening and scramble to escape.

Just then, the surrounding vines swayed gently, and orchids bloomed in the air.

A graceful figure, dressed in magnificent robes and exuding an air of nobility, slowly descended, stepping on orchids.

Her gorgeous skirt swayed slightly in the air, and she landed gracefully and elegantly in front of Cao Xing, as if she had stepped out of a painting.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to this stunningly beautiful figure.

Her skin was as white as snow, her features as exquisite as a painting, and her deep eyes seemed to shimmer with the movement of flower petals, carrying an air of unapproachable majesty.

Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, adorned with a few sparkling orchids, adding to her air of aloofness and nobility.

It was none other than Queen Youlan.

Upon seeing the Queen's arrival, the soldiers felt as if they had found their pillar of support, and their fear quickly dissipated.

They knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Queen Youlan extended her slender, jade-like right hand and waved it gently in the air, signaling the soldiers to leave with an elegant and composed gesture.

The soldiers exchanged a glance and then quickly withdrew from the area.

At the same time, Queen Youlan turned her gaze to the legendary experts behind Cao Xing and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Then, she turned her gaze to Cao Xing, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Lord Cao Xing, how have you been?"

"After we parted last time, I was just planning to visit your territory when I had time, but you ended up bringing your own people here."

Her voice was gentle yet authoritative.

When not in combat, Queen Youlan appears much more approachable.

Nevertheless, her innate aura of authority still made people hesitant to approach her.

This temperament is similar to Victoria in Cao Xing's territory, but even more assertive.

After all, the Kingdom of Yulan is much stronger than the Kingdom of Renoir, and naturally has a matching aura and majesty.

Cao Xing smiled and said with a hint of apology, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. We came here suddenly without prior notice, which is rather presumptuous of us."

Queen Youlan gently shook her head and said calmly, "It was indeed somewhat unexpected."

"I suddenly sensed so many legendary auras in my palace, and I thought the ancient teleportation array had been broken."

Cao Xing was also a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected that the Ice Crystal King hadn't told the Queen in advance that he was coming to the Orchid Kingdom.

It's estimated that King Ice Crystal also thought that Cao Xing would contact Queen Youlan on his own, which led to this situation.

However, Queen Youlan did not pay any attention to it.

She calmly asked, "Lord Cao Xing, is there anything important that brings you to my Youlan Kingdom this time?"

Cao Xing explained his purpose to her.

After listening, Queen Youlan's eyes flashed with understanding, and she said softly, "I see, so you also want to go to that ruin."

"That lost royal city has indeed reached the day when it will be open to the public."

"However... according to the information I have received, the inner city of that ruin has recently experienced a strong tremor, and it is said that something extraordinary may emerge from it."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes also showed some surprise: "Something extraordinary has appeared? Is such a thing even possible?"

Without waiting for Queen Youlan's reply.

Lord Oran, standing nearby, interjected, "In previous years, this kind of thing did occasionally happen when the ruins opened."

"If any unusual activity occurs inside the inner city before it is opened, it means that after it is opened, there is a high probability that some kind of treasure or some special scene will appear inside."

"Sometimes, even some amazing buildings appear, like that ancient gladiatorial arena..."

"I think Mr. Qinong, who is next to you, should know this."

Oran seemed to know Chinon and that he had once won the title of Champion Fighter.

Cao Xing looked at him.

The upright-looking old man nodded slightly. "He's right."

After receiving confirmation from Qinong, Cao Xing's interest was piqued even more.

If that's the case, they might actually make some unexpected discoveries on their trip to the ancient ruins.

At this moment, Queen Youlan slowly said, "That's why the ruins have already shown several legendary auras."

“Some reclusive legendary experts were also attracted by these rumors and showed themselves.”

"so……"

She was just about to say that Cao Xing should be careful.

But when his gaze swept over the legendary experts behind him, he immediately fell silent.

Because she knew that with Cao Xing's strength...

It would be better if those legends didn't provoke this otherworldly lord.

If you dare to provoke Cao Xing.

Those are the people who should be careful...

Queen Youlan smiled and shook her head, "With Lord Cao Xing's strength, there should be no need to worry about these things."

"In that case, I'll have someone prepare rooms for you all and treat you to a good stay before you leave."

At this point, she seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, our Orchid Kingdom is holding a Flower Festival these days. Many citizens of the kingdom will send their carefully cultivated plants and flowers to the main city of Linglan to participate in the competition."

"As long as you pass the review and are selected for the Hundred Flowers Garden, you will receive a generous reward."

"Therefore, the city will be quite lively, and you can enjoy exploring the city."

"Of course, you may also bring your favorite plants and flowers to participate in the competition."

After a pause, Queen Youlan turned her head, her beautiful eyes filled with inquiry: "I wonder if Lord Cao Xing is interested?"
