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

Chapter 710 Team Invitation, and the Wraith in the Mist.

Just as Cao Xing and the others were lamenting the danger of this lost royal city...

Elisa had already jumped onto the back of Little Blue the Frost Moose.

She turned her head and said excitedly, "My lord, let's stop chatting and set off!"

"There seem to be a lot of fun things in here!"

The little girl was always so lively, completely oblivious to the dangers here.

Little Chuchu, who was standing next to her, also seemed very interested in this place.

Seeing their expressions, Cao Xing smiled.

He shook his head, then leaped onto Big White's back.

Then he said, "Let's go. Before the mist tide erupts, let's explore the outer perimeter."

"Yes, Lord Lord!"

After saying that, everyone walked forward together.

On the way, Cao Xing rode a mammoth named Da Bai.

Elisa rode the Frost Moose Little Blue, while Little Chuchu piloted the Earth Dragon Mech.

Nearby were also enormous creatures such as Volibear, the snow bear, Jord the giant, and Kane, the minotaur chieftain.

With a large group of powerful figures following behind them, their imposing presence was truly astonishing.

"Dong - dong dong -"

The large, white elephant's hooves trod on this ancient land, leaving deep pits in its wake.

Soon, they arrived at the adventurers' camp.

There are three to four thousand adventurers and mercenaries gathered here, making it a large camp.

However, upon seeing Cao Xing and his group approaching, they all voluntarily made way for them.

The eyes of this group of adventurers were filled with intense apprehension.

It was as if the approaching creatures were not humans, but a horde of ferocious beasts!
This lost royal city is fraught with danger, and the survivors who have managed to stay here are certainly not ordinary people.

They could sense just how terrifying the aura emanating from these newcomers was.

No one dared to come up and cause trouble.

At this moment, Cao Xing was sitting on Da Bai's back.

His height of nearly five meters allowed him to have a clear view of the camp and the expressions on the faces of the adventurers.

This time, he did not put the demonic dragon Bingbing into the necromancy bag.

The adventurers gazed at the young dragon, as well as the stunning beauty of Isabel, Irena, and other women, their eyes filled with deep greed, jealousy, and envy.

In this ruin, both a young dragon and such an unparalleled beauty are extremely rare and precious.

For adventurers and mercenaries who spend their lives roaming dangerous places, this is undoubtedly a huge temptation.

However, they only dared to look and did not dare to make any unnecessary moves.

Cao Xing ignored the stares and simply patted Da Bai on the back, signaling it to keep going.

"Boom...boom..."

The heavy footsteps sounded again.

They made no obstacles and passed directly through the center of the camp.

Just as they were preparing to venture deeper into the ruins.

A group of adventurers dressed in leather armor and carrying weapons blocked Cao Xing and his companions' path.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a big smile on his face.

He rubbed his hands together, his tone slightly ingratiating: "My lords, are you going to explore the depths of the ruins?"

Cao Xing gave him a speechless look and said, "Isn't that obvious? We didn't come here to explore ruins, did we come here for tourism?"

The middle-aged man quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I was being nosy, sir. Please don't take offense."

"I see that this is your first time visiting this ancient site. I wonder if you would be interested in collaborating?"

"Cooperation?" Cao Xing looked puzzled.

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's right, we are actually members of the Iron Rose Mercenary Group."

"Our commander is named Talia Iron Rose."

"Perhaps you haven't heard of our mercenary group, but our leader is a hero-level powerhouse, and not far from becoming a legend."

After Cao Xing finished speaking, he asked calmly, "And then?"

The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback.

He was somewhat surprised that the young man remained unmoved even after he had revealed the name and strength of the group leader.

After all, their Iron Rose Mercenary Group is quite well-known among the surrounding kingdoms.

Especially their leader, a female hero-level powerhouse, who is not only incredibly strong but also stunningly beautiful.

She is known as the 'Rose Goddess of the Battlefield'.

Countless nobles and powerful figures admired her and tried to curry favor with her.

However, she would unleash a barrage of combat skills on these suitors, sending them fleeing in terror.

He even declared that if he wanted to pursue her, he would first have to surpass her in strength.

This single condition alone has crushed the hopes of countless suitors.

More importantly, this woman is about to break through to the legendary realm, and her potential is limitless.

Even several kings secretly expressed their goodwill, wanting to bring the Iron Rose Mercenary Group under their wing as their ally.

However, the young man in front of him didn't care at all, as if he didn't even take legendary-level powerhouses seriously.

The middle-aged man was surprised, and at the same time realized that this young man was no ordinary person!
After all, that kind of composure and ease cannot be faked.

He straightened his expression and became even more humble: "To be honest, sir..."

"Our Iron Rose Mercenary Group has secured an important location in the outer area, which may contain some kind of powerful treasure."

"It's even possible that there are relics left behind by some ancient being inside."

"Our leader has already led a group to explore inside, but unfortunately, they are not strong enough, so he sent us out."

"She told us to find some strong partners here to explore that location together."

"As for the rewards inside, we can discuss how to distribute them after the event."

The middle-aged man finally revealed his purpose.

They came to him to team up because they saw that Cao Xing and his group had an extraordinary aura and great strength.

After listening to the middle-aged man's story, Cao Xing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and he secretly felt a little tempted.

Because he heard the middle-aged man say, 'That place may contain relics left by some ancient being.'

For Cao Xing, there aren't many things that can attract him right now, but the relics are one of them.

Then, considering that this middle-aged man said their team leader was also preparing to break through to the legendary level.

So this is most likely true.

However, he did not agree.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at Oran and Qinong, two powerful figures who had been to the ruins before, with a question in his eyes.

After pondering for a moment, the Lord of Oran replied, "Indeed, there are some unexplored areas that occasionally appear in the outer area of the ruins, which may contain some important treasures."

"But similarly, places with treasures also come with corresponding dangers."

Qinong nodded slightly, confirming the Lord of Oran's statement.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man in front of him quickly pressed his advantage, saying, "My lords, our Iron Rose Mercenary Group is almost able to clear that area; we're just one step away from completing it."

"With the help of a few people, we can definitely conquer this area completely in a short time and take away the treasures inside."

However, after listening, Cao Xing still shook his head and said, "No need, we will explore on our own. You can have your team leader go find the others."

The middle-aged man froze on the spot when he heard him refuse.

He's gone to such lengths.

Most people would have agreed by now, but this young man refused so decisively.

Just as the middle-aged man was about to say something more, he saw that the big white elephant had already raised its thick hooves high, approaching him with a heavy sense of pressure!

He turned pale with fright and hurriedly moved aside.

Cao Xing continued leading the group straight ahead.

The middle-aged man and his mercenaries never dared to approach.

Until their figures completely disappeared.

A hint of annoyance appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

A young team member next to him looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Captain Jamie, what do we do now? This group is the strongest group of people we've encountered entering the ruins in the past week."

"If they refuse, what will happen to the commander..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed worry.

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and then sighed softly.

"Sigh... there's nothing we can do if they refuse our team invitation."

"The other side is too strong, we can't use any forceful means at all."

"Now we can only continue to look for other people and see if they can go together."

"Hopefully, the commander can hold out until then..."

Upon hearing this, the other group members also showed worried expressions...

...

At this moment, Cao Xing rode a mammoth, leading a group of people forward in this vast wilderness.

"Thump—thump thump—!"

Heavy footsteps echoed all around.

After becoming a seventh-tier commander-level creature, Da Bai's size increased again, reaching five or six meters.

Its body weight also reached more than ten tons.

Each step it takes leaves a deep footprint on the ground.

In addition, there's the Frost Moose, the Earth Dragon Mech, Volibear... as well as the giant Jorde Ironfrost and the Tauren chieftain Cairne Bursthoof.

Their team already included six enormous figures.

As he walked, his imposing presence was quite astonishing. At this moment, Bai Zhi, standing to the side, parted her red lips slightly and looked at Cao Xing, asking, "It's clear you're very interested in that place, so why don't you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Oran and Qinong and the others also turned their gazes toward them.

They were also curious as to why Cao Xing made that decision at the time.

Cao Xing glanced at them and said with a light laugh, "Because I felt something was off."

"Assuming what they say is true, there really are relics in that place, but there could only be one at most."

"And their leader, Iron Rose, as a hero-level powerhouse, urgently needs relics to break through."

"If it were you, would you proactively publicize such a place and invite others to explore it together?"

After listening to this, everyone thought about it carefully and also felt that it was unlikely.

After all, the relics that allow one to break through to the legendary level are so precious, and the goal is within reach.

There's no way I'd let this opportunity slip by!
Cao Xing continued, "So, regardless of whether that place actually contains treasure or is simply too dangerous for their leader to explore alone, I'm not going to agree."

"We've just arrived at this site and aren't familiar with it yet, so our main task right now is to explore it ourselves and figure out what's going on."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they stopped dwelling on the topic.

After all, for them, the invitation from the Iron Rose Mercenary Group was just a minor incident.

The group then continued their journey through the mist-shrouded, desolate underground ruins.

They bypassed the foggy areas and advanced for several kilometers.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly made a hand gesture and ordered, "Stop."

The group stopped at the same time.

The crowd looked ahead with some confusion.

At this point, they also understood why Cao Xing had told everyone to stop.

Because a narrow and dark path appeared not far ahead.

Thick fog covered both sides of the road, with only a two- or three-meter-wide area in the middle visible.

Clearly, they now face two choices if they want to continue exploring.

Alternatively, you can go through this path.

Alternatively, they could take a detour and explore from other directions.

Just as Cao Xing was pondering which option to make, Sarah proudly and bravely said, "My lord, let me go and investigate."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

With Sarah's abilities, she should be safe from danger as long as she doesn't enter the fog.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead."

"Yes."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sarah's Death Dagger flashed with a cold light, and she gripped it tightly in her hand.

Then, maintaining her elegant and nimble steps, she walked towards the misty path ahead.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Sarah reached the target location in just a few moves.

She paused for a moment, feeling the chilling aura emanating from the mist on both sides, but her expression remained unchanged.

Then continue walking forward.

This misty path is quite long, probably about one or two kilometers.

Sarah's figure seemed to gradually disappear into the mist.

Just then, Cao Xing suddenly felt at least a dozen cold and eerie auras rapidly approaching!

They surged in rapidly from both sides of the mist.

The target was none other than Sarah, right in front of them!
"Clang—clang clang!"

At that moment, everyone drew their weapons, ready for battle.

Cao Xing raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

Because he didn't sense any particular danger here.

At the same time, the thick fog was stirred up like a tide, as if something was moving rapidly inside.

Sarah held a dagger in each hand and remained motionless.

Under their watchful eyes, the creature from the mist suddenly burst forth.

They were a group of eerie-looking creatures.

The pale body was translucent, like a shroud soaked in water.

Its body shape constantly twisted and deformed, sometimes stretching into a three-meter-tall, slender ghostly shadow, and sometimes curling up to the size of an infant.

Beneath the disheveled hair, a terrifying face could be seen.

Their mouths split open, revealing a row of dense, sharp teeth, while the nose and eye areas are three holes from which black mucus flows.

These guys' terrifying appearances are so striking that they create a strong visual impact at first glance!

"Wow, these little things look so unique!"

Cao Xing was astonished, then quickly glanced at the attributes of these monsters.

The vengeful spirit in the mist

Race: Undead

[Level: Level 55]

[Potential: Elite]

[HP: 592412/592412]

……

The vengeful spirits guarding the mist

Race: Undead

[Level: Level 65]

[Potential: Leader]

[HP: 1129823/1129823]

……

After quickly scanning the information of a few monsters, Cao Xing understood.

Indeed, as Lord Oran said, these vengeful spirits are of a very high level.

Among them are even many elite or even leader-level vengeful spirits.

If a regular squad were to encounter them, they would almost certainly be wiped out in a short period of time.

However, for them, monsters of this level posed no threat whatsoever.

Meanwhile, in the misty path ahead.

Sarah was surrounded by more than a dozen vengeful spirits.

They exude a chilling aura; ordinary people who come into contact with this aura will fall seriously ill or even have their lifespan shortened.

Those terrifying features seemed to contain intense resentment, as if they wanted to tear Sarah to pieces.

The next moment, these vengeful spirits rushed towards her at the same time!
Sarah remained unmoved upon seeing this.

The legendary assassin only made a slight movement when the sharp nails of these vengeful spirits were about to strike her skin.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes and raised the two daggers.

The next moment, like a ballet dancer, she spun around in a circle, seemingly slowly but extremely quickly.

The dagger's blade silently sliced through the bodies of these vengeful spirits.

Then, a dozen or so terrifying damage numbers appeared.

【-4155232! 】

【-3192352! 】

【-2852519! 】

【-3728214! 】

【-4923523! 】

Grant me liberation!

In an instant, the health of these dozen or so vengeful spirits of the fifth rank or higher was completely depleted.

Then, their movements froze in mid-air, and their bodies began to become ethereal at a visible speed, as if they were about to disappear from the world.

At this moment, the expressions of those vengeful spirits became even more twisted and furious!
They looked at Sarah with a venomous gaze, then opened their mouths full of sharp teeth and let out an angry roar.

"I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!"

"ah!!!"

As a shrill scream of a vengeful spirit pierced the air, a system notification appeared.

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance has slain 13 Mist Wraiths, gaining a total of 3250000 experience points (Pale Guidance + Savior Star)]

[Combat personnel gained 1625000 experience points]

……

After the battle, Sarah picked up everything that had fallen to the ground.

However, she did not immediately return to Cao Xing's side.

Instead, they continued walking forward.

We walked until we emerged from the misty path, and then turned back again.

Sarah stood respectfully beside Cao Xing and reported, "My lord, I have reached the end of the path and encountered no other dangers."

"These are items that fell from those vengeful spirits. Please take a look."
