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

Chapter 824 Open the Treasure Bag, Generous Rewards!
A female lord warned, "This monster will enter a berserk state when its health drops below 30%, at which point its movement speed, armor, and attack power will all increase dramatically!"

Upon hearing this, the team members' expressions immediately turned serious.

At the same time, the moment the Silver Skulr broke free from the ice, a violent aura erupted from its body!

Its fur began to grow rapidly, standing up like steel needles!

The muscles in his limbs swelled up as if inflated, and his claws became even sharper!
His entire being exuded a wild and dangerous aura.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

A sharp cry rang out!
Skrook's eerie green eyes swept over the group of survivors, sending chills down their spines.
The silver-armored warrior suppressed his fear and commanded in a deep voice, "Everyone, prepare!"

"Shield Warrior, switch to defensive stance and prepare to withstand the impact!"

"Mages, watch your positioning! Healers, keep your healing abilities ready to deal with its burst damage!"

Everyone was on high alert, ready to face the Silver Sk Rat's ferocious onslaught.

However, the skeletal rat's eerie green eyes darted around a few times, as if it had realized something.

The next moment, it suddenly turned around and fled into the distance!

Like a silver lightning bolt, he suddenly rushed into the crowd, and the shield warrior blocking his way was directly cut down.

The speed that burst forth in an instant far exceeded everyone's expectations!
By the time they realized what was happening, the skunk had already broken out of the encirclement.

Upon seeing this, the silver-armored warrior's expression changed drastically!

"Damn it! This guy's trying to escape, stop him!"

The others realized this as well and quickly launched an attack.

"Splash... splash..."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Various arrows and magical attacks rained down, all landing on the Silver Skullcrawl, but only leaving a barely noticeable mark on its thick fur.

In addition, some minor damage numbers of only a few thousand appeared.

In its "runaway in panic" state, this Skaven's armor and movement speed are greatly enhanced, making it impossible to defeat in a short time.

It even turned its head and gave everyone a mocking smile.

"Zhizhi...zhizhizhi..."

Seeing this scene only fueled the team's anger.

They chased after them like madmen!
After all, this Silver Skullcrawler was prey they had gone through countless hardships to finally capture.

Now that their prey has escaped right in front of them and is even mocking them, no one could stand it.

However... no matter how fast they sped up, they couldn't catch up with the 'Silver Skullcrawler' at all, and could only watch helplessly as its figure grew further and further away.

Finally, it disappeared into a grove of trees and vanished from their sight completely.

Seeing their prey escape, everyone reluctantly stopped in their tracks.

"Damn it! We were just a few million health points away from getting away!" An assassin angrily kicked a rock at his feet.

Another surviving lord shook his head and smiled wryly, "This event is too difficult! Not only are the monsters so powerful, but they also run away after being low on health. It's simply unreasonable."

"yes……"

The female mage next to her chimed in, "I estimate... it would take at least a squad of fifty people to be confident of completely killing it."

"Our strength is still a bit lacking."

Among the crowd, the silver-armored warrior, though unwilling, quickly adjusted his mindset: "It's okay, brothers. Although we failed this time, we at least figured out the combat mechanics of this monster through the battle."

"When we get back, everyone should study the video of the battle we just watched, analyze the attack rhythm of this Skaven, and the prelude to its skill release."

"Next time, we'll definitely take it down!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's mood improved slightly.

A young lord raised his hand and shouted, "That's right, we learn from battle!"

"When we get back, we'll call some more people. We'll take down even the Golden Skora, let alone the Silver Skora!"

The team regained their confidence and then resolutely turned around and walked out of the forest.

...

...

At this moment, deep within this dense forest covered in ice and snow.

A silver rat-man, over two meters tall and carrying a large burlap sack, was panting heavily as he walked through the forest.

It glanced back, and after confirming that the group of humans had not caught up, a cunning glint flashed in its eerie green eyes.

"Squeak..."

The skater rat swished its tail triumphantly, leisurely rubbed its wound against a nearby tree trunk, and continued walking forward.

However, the next second, it stopped abruptly!

Because three figures suddenly appeared in front of it.

The leader was a black-haired man who was looking at it with a playful gaze.

Behind him, a holy and aloof figure stood on either side, while a figure exuding a murderous aura stood on either side.

The three of them exuded a suffocating aura.

Skullcrush's pupils suddenly contracted, and all the fur on its body stood on end!
Because it sensed the threat of death emanating from these three people!

It was as if they could easily kill him with the flick of their fingers.

"Squeak!"

The skunk let out a terrified cry.

Then he turned around and strode forward with heavy steps!

They seem to be trying to use the same trick to escape from here.

However, at that moment, it suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The forest was surrounded by a thick ice wall, which completely blocked its way out!

Even more strikingly, countless giant ice cones hovered in the sky.

If it dares to make any rash moves, I'll pierce its body like a beehive!
The skewer rat immediately realized that it had nowhere to escape.

Its cunning eyes darted around a few times before it stopped, seemingly giving up on its escape.

Then it turned around, bent its legs slightly, put its front paws on the ground, and knelt down on the spot.

"Squeak..."

The skunk knelt on the ground, its front paws clasped together, mimicking a human's gesture of begging for mercy, and kept kowtowing.

It even carefully placed the sack on its back on the ground and pushed it forward with its paws, as if trying to gain a chance of survival.

Seeing this, Cao Xing raised an eyebrow and said with interest, "This guy... he actually begs for mercy?"

"Are system-generated monsters really this intelligent?"

With a strange expression, he examined the attributes of this 'Silver Skullcrawler'.

Its stats are similar to those of a typical Tier 8 leader, except that due to its talent bonus, its health is much higher than that of other leader-level creatures.

Beside her, Isabel asked softly, "My lord, should we let it go?"

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing shook his head and said, "It's just a moving monster after all. Let's kill it."

"Yes."

The instant he gave the order, Malenina drew her Blood-Drinking Sword.

"Keng——!"

A streak of crimson sword energy flashed past at an extremely fast speed.

Before the Skaven could react, a line of blood appeared on its body.

Then, its body began to slowly split in two.

Then, an exaggerated damage number appeared.

【-12832563! 】

"squeak……!"

With a short scream, this eighth-tier boss-level monster was instantly killed by a single sword strike!

[Your territory member, Malenina, has successfully defeated the event monster: 'Silver Skril' lv80, gaining 1720 million experience points (Pale Guidance)]

Combat personnel gained 860 million experience points.

...

[Successfully defeated the 'Silver Sk Rat', triggering the hidden achievement: Rat-Catching Captain!]

[Rat-Catching Captain: During the event period, kill a total of 10 Skrats (any level) to receive the achievement reward: Silver Skrat's Treasure Bag *1, Silver Treasure Chest *1, Reputation Points +500]
Killing a total of 100 Skrats will earn you the achievement rewards: 1 Golden Skrats' Treasure Bag, 1 Golden Treasure Chest, and 2000 Reputation Points.
Killing a total of 1000 Skrats will earn you the achievement reward: Rat-Catching Captain (title), Moonlit Treasure Chest *1, Reputation Points +20000.

[Current progress: 1/1000]

...

...

Upon seeing this series of system notifications, Cao Xing smiled: "I didn't expect that killing these Skrats would yield a hidden achievement."

"And you only need to kill ten to get the first stage reward."

"It looks like a benefit the system is giving to us survivors."

After all, although this achievement is hidden, it can be triggered by almost all survivors who kill Skrats.

Of course, killing 10 Skrats is also a very difficult task.

The battle between those survivors just now clearly shows that the team lacked either a hero-level expert or a sufficient number of master-level experts.

Taking down Skram is too difficult.

Not to mention the Golden Skullcrawler, which is of a higher level and stronger.

The event lasts for a month, and even for those legion leaders, completing the first stage achievement rewards is already the best they can hope for.

Some top experts, such as Wei Jianyi and Angelina, might have a slight chance to try and complete the second stage reward.

As for the third stage, it involves eliminating a thousand Skullcrawler rats...

Apart from Cao Xing, it is estimated that no one else could have accomplished this.

"Take it slow. Even with my strength, killing a thousand Skrats would be a huge undertaking."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing turned his gaze back to the spot where the silver Ska rat had died. The rat's corpse had vanished in a flash of white light, leaving only a bulging sack in its wake.

Upon seeing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over.

He bent down and picked up the sack.

[Obtained: Silver Skullcrawler's Treasure Bag *1]

"Oh? This is the treasure bag for achievement rewards?"

Cao Xing picked it up and shook it, finding it quite heavy, and it seemed to be filled with all sorts of rare items.

Isabel and Malenina also curiously came over, their eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"My lord, is there anything good inside?" Isabel asked softly.

Cao Xing said with a smile, "I don't know yet, let me pour it out and see."

After saying that, he untied the drawstring of the burlap sack and dumped out all the contents.

"Crash..."

In the blink of an eye, the ground was piled with all sorts of spoils.

There were two or three weapons gleaming coldly, gold coins scattered all over the ground, and dozens of bottles of potions shimmering faintly.

In addition, there are some sparkling gems nearby!

Upon seeing this bountiful harvest, everyone's faces lit up with delight.

Even Cao Xing got a little excited.

With a wave of his hand, he picked up all the items on the ground.

[Obtained: Rune Sword (Gold)]

[Obtained: Rose Round Shield (Purple)]

[Obtained: Death-Slaying Battle Axe (Purple)]

[Received: 1562 Gold Coins]

[Obtained: Cold-Blooded Elixir (Gold) *18]

[Obtained: Elemental Resistance Potion (Purple) *32]

[Obtained: 45 Potent Invigorating Potion (Purple)]

[Received: Amethyst (Purple) *15]

[Obtained: 42 Purple Armor Plates]

[Obtained: Fighter's Pendant (Purple) *1]

...

As a series of system notifications appeared, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Although most of these items and equipment are only of gold or purple quality.

It was nothing special to him anymore.

However, the feeling of getting a bunch of loot all at once is still pretty good.

Even Isabel, standing next to her, showed a look of joy in her eyes.

"As expected of a treasure hunt, even just killing a Silver Skullcrawler yielded so many loot!"

"The returns are indeed quite good," Cao Xing remarked with admiration.

These spoils are quite valuable; those three pieces of equipment alone could fetch millions of crowns.

The other thousand or so gold coins were roughly equivalent to several hundred thousand crowns.

It's worth noting that these gold coins are not "Ancient Gold Coins" and cannot be used to exchange for Ancient Treasure Chests; they are just ordinary gold coins.

Add to that the dozens of bottles of secret medicine and gems that followed, and the value is at least ten million crowns!

In other words, the guaranteed reward for taking down a 'Silver Skrats' is at least 20 million kronor.

If that squad had taken it down, the loot in the bag would have made those lords a fortune!
Furthermore, as the event progresses, other lords will kill these Skrats and discover the generous rewards they drop.

At that time, the news will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.

As more and more lords heard the news, they began to participate in the hunt for the Skrats.

"However, high returns also mean high risks."

"Some weaker teams, let alone taking down Skroo, are in trouble if they can even survive the monster's ferocious onslaught."

Cao Xing shook his head and sighed, "Let's take a look at the attributes of these loot items that were just revealed."

There's no need to check those three pieces of equipment; they're all of common rare quality and have gold-level attributes.

For the survivors, this equipment would be a significant improvement, but for Cao Xing, it was just ordinary stuff.

Of course, the secret medicines and gems that were revealed later are still worth checking out.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing quickly took out three bottles of potions with different colors from his backpack and checked their properties.

[The Cold-Blooded Secret Medicine (Gold)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effects of the medicine: After taking it, it will bring you into a calm state and suppress the influence of negative emotions.]

When attacked, pain sensation is reduced by 40%.

The effect lasts for 5 minutes, with a cooldown of 20 minutes.

[Side effects: Mild dizziness and increased pain may occur after the medication wears off, lasting for 1 hour.]

...

...

【Elemental Resistance Compound (Purple)】

[Quality: Rare]

[Potion Effect: Ice, Lightning, Earth, and Wind Elemental Resistance +20%]
Furthermore, when receiving damage from the corresponding element, there is a 5% chance to recover 0.1% of one's own health.

The effect lasts for 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 40 minutes.

...

[Potential Invigorating Potion (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Potion Effect: Upon consumption, immediately restores 30% of the user's mana and increases mana regeneration speed by 50%]
The effect lasts for 3 minutes, with a cooldown of 15 minutes.

...

...

After reading the properties of the three bottles of secret medicine, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

"Huh? These secret medicines all seem to be quite effective!"

"Moreover, each one can be taken immediately, and combined with the [Eternal Power], it has brought me a significant boost!"

The first type, the "Cold-Blooded Secret Medicine," can suppress negative emotions and reduce pain, making it practically a miracle drug in actual combat!
After all, these powerful individuals only possess extraordinary strength, but that doesn't mean they won't feel pain during battle.

Especially those powerful individuals with special abilities, such as Hilda's [Crimson Abyss Poison], and the Plague Priestess Faina's Plague Magic, etc...

Their attacks caused excruciating pain when they landed on the body.

Although everyone didn't show it on the surface during the battle, they were actually enduring it all.

With this medicine, the pain can be greatly reduced, and you can concentrate in battle and unleash greater strength.

The [Elemental Resistance Elixir] and [Powerful Invigorating Potion] that follow are also quite good.

The former can increase resistance to four elements, while the latter can accelerate mana regeneration; both are quite useful combat supplies.

With that in mind, Cao Xing took out three bottles of each of the three types of potions and gave one bottle each to Isabel and Malenina.

I also kept one for myself.

"Use it," he said casually.

"Yes, my lord/master!"

The two women responded in unison.

Then, the three of them took all three bottles of medicine together.

In an instant, they felt streams of cool energy flowing through their bodies.

The brain becomes calmer, the senses become more acute, and even thoughts become as clear and transparent as if washed by a spring.

[Successfully ingested the [Cold-Blooded Secret Medicine (Gold)], pain sensation reduced by 40%...lasting 5 minutes, now permanent due to the [Eternal Power] talent!]
(Note: In permanent mode, you can exit and close the window at any time.)
[Successfully administered...]
...

Following the system notification, all three felt that this magical power had been permanently retained within their bodies.

"call……"

Isabel exhaled softly, her sapphire-like pupils gleaming with a calm light.

Each time I take this potion, after being amplified by the [Eternal Power], it's a wonderful experience.

Marlene, who was standing next to him, was also staring at the man in front of her with a strange look.

Cao Xing closed his eyes, carefully experiencing this wondrous power.

"The effect was better than expected, and it greatly improved my skills."

He opened his eyes, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "It seems I'll have to collect more of these potions for this mission."

"It would be best to get several thousand bottles and have everyone in the territory take them."

Just as they had dealt with the first Skullcrawler, another communication crackled to their ears.

"Zizi...Zizi..."

A moment later, a steady voice rang out: "My lord, I am Bloodwing Knight Freud, and I am currently above a great river sixty kilometers from the territory."

“There’s a rat-man with white fur walking on the ice. It should be the Skrats you mentioned.”

"It has not been discovered by anyone else yet. Please give the instructions."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
