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

Chapter 904 The Magical Diamond Pickaxe, Amazing Profits!
When the system notification that [Eternal Power] had taken effect ended, Cao Xing was overjoyed once again.

"Excellent! Just as expected, it has become permanent."

"Now let me see if this diamond pickaxe is as amazing as described!"

Under the watchful eyes of the group of people nearby, their lord picked up the diamond pickaxe that shimmered with seven-colored light and then quickly began to chisel into the ice below!
The two ice giants sat listlessly on the ice field, their eyes showing little emotion.

Because they simply didn't believe that this little pickaxe could shake this eternal ice layer blessed by the power of the dragon!

"Crack!"

As a crisp cracking sound rang out, a magical scene unfolded!

A huge crater, hundreds of meters in diameter and over seven or eight hundred meters deep, instantly appeared in the ice below!

What's even more shocking is that this deep pit seems to have appeared out of thin air!

As if forcibly erased by some great force, the edges were as neat as a mirror, without even a single ice shard splashed out.

This scene left everyone speechless!
Gar waved his large hand and slapped Harrag on the forehead.

"Ancestors above! Harag, can you see this!?"

"That human lord, he actually managed to dig through the ice with his little pickaxe!"

Harrag covered his head and muttered, "I saw Gar, it's unbelievable..."

"Also, next time you get excited, please slap your own head!"

Not only the two giants, but also Assam, Tong Chuchu and others standing to the side stared wide-eyed.

Everyone was so stunned by this miraculous scene that they were speechless.

Elisa's mouth opened slightly, and she exclaimed softly, "Wow... what an amazing pickaxe..."

At that moment, Cao Xing looked down at the large pit below, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Great! I didn't even know it could be like this!"

"The effect of this diamond pickaxe is beyond my imagination!"

With a single swing of the pickaxe, Cao Xing dug a pit seven or eight hundred meters deep without even using much force!

what is this concept?

This means that he can reach the location of the treasure chest, which is three thousand meters deep, with just a few digs!
If you dig carefully, you could even dig through the continent!
Of course, Cao Xing had no intention of digging through the continent right now; he was focused on the treasure in front of him.

He flapped the wind turbines on his back and quickly descended to the bottom of the pit.

Then he raised the Rat King's Diamond Pickaxe and swung it down without hesitation!
"Clang! Clang clang!"

With three consecutive swings of the pickaxe, the ice layer was easily broken like tofu, and the ice vanished into thin air.

"Bang!"

With a thud, a golden treasure chest covered in ice lay quietly in the crystal-clear ice cave, radiating an alluring light.

Cao Xing quickly descended to the bottom of the pit, reached out and scooped up the treasure chest, putting it directly into his backpack.

[Obtained: Frozen Golden Treasure Chest *1]

...

With a look of joy, Cao Xing flapped his wings and quickly returned to the ground.

The crowd quickly came forward, each with expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces.

Especially Elisa, the little girl stared at the diamond pickaxe in Cao Xing's hand, her eyes practically sparkling!

She excitedly approached Cao Xing, exclaiming, "Lord! Lord! What kind of pickaxe is that? It looks so magical and powerful!"

"Can Elisa play with it?"

Cao Xing glanced at her and said calmly, "No, this pickaxe is already bound to my soul."

"No one else can use it except me."

Upon hearing this answer, Elisa deflated like a punctured balloon, pouting as she mumbled, "Okay..."

However, she became excited again after a short while.

"Then, my lord, if we encounter any more treasures deep within these ice layers, can we dig them out like we are now?"

"This ocean is so vast, there must be countless treasures hidden within!"

We're going to get rich!

Cao Xing smiled and did not refute.

Indeed, as Elisa said, this sea is said to have no end, and it has existed for countless millennia.

The passage of time has accumulated countless treasures and ancient legends.

Cao Xing had even heard Bai Zhi mention that an ancient palace was hidden deep within the endless sea.

Add to that the sunken ruins and lost civilizations, if they could all be unearthed...

The profits are simply unimaginable!
Even the two ice giants became a little breathless at the thought.

They stared excitedly at the diamond pickaxe in Cao Xing's hand.

The giant Harrag exclaimed in shock, "This human lord, I never imagined you not only possessed such formidable strength, but also such a wondrous diamond pickaxe!"

"This sea area is simply a treasure trove tailor-made for you!"

The giant Garr agreed, "That's right!"

"Our Ice Giant race has also discovered some special treasures in this sea area!"

"We weren't able to excavate it before, but with this lord's pickaxe, we might be able to dig it out!"

Cao Xing's interest was piqued, and he asked, "Oh? Your Ice Giant race has also discovered treasures hidden in the ice?"

"Of course!"

The giant Gar responded excitedly, "Besides this golden treasure chest, we have also found a treasure chest that looks like crystal."

"However, these crystal treasure chests are extremely rare; even we haven't seen many."

"Furthermore, according to the records of our Ice Giant race, someone once discovered a red treasure chest."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing was slightly taken aback.

Then, as if realizing something, he quickly asked, "Wait, what did you say? A red treasure chest!?"

The giant Garr nodded solemnly: "Yes, it was discovered by our chieftain in the deeper waters beyond the Frostsworn Wall."

"What does it look like exactly?" Cao Xing continued to ask.

Gar replied, "It's a box made entirely of red crystal, which looks like congealed blood. You can feel the surging energy fluctuations emanating from it just by getting close."

"The chieftain said that the box might contain some kind of powerful treasure."

"However... this treasure chest is located at least tens of thousands of meters deep in the sea. Even we, the Ice Giants, cannot dig it out of the deep sea."

After he finished speaking, a guess couldn't help but emerge in Cao Xing's mind!
There are currently 5 known grades of treasure chests.

They are: Wooden Box, Bronze Treasure Box, Silver Treasure Box, Gold Treasure Box, and Moonlight Treasure Box.

This corresponds to the five qualities of equipment and items that can be obtained: white, green, blue, gold, and orange.

In addition, there are some black treasure chests that can yield special items.

Cao Xing had never encountered a red treasure chest before.

Could it be... that this is a treasure chest of a higher level than the Bright Moon Treasure Chest?

Thinking about this, Cao Xing was already getting excited.

"Do you remember the exact location?" he continued.

"Of course!"

The giant Gar replied without hesitation, "Once we reach the Frostsworn Wall and resolve this crisis with the Ice Nest monsters, I can consult with the chieftain and then tell you the location of this treasure chest!"

It seems that they also know that this otherworldly lord is very interested in the treasures in these seas.

The giant Harrag, standing nearby, added, "In addition, we have also discovered some special creatures deep within the ice sheets of some deep seas."

"For example, frozen deep-sea behemoths, ancient sea monsters, and giant ships, etc..."

"Before, we had to constantly resist the threat of those ice nest monsters, and the mining was extremely difficult, so we never dared to explore further."

"If you're interested, we can tell you the location when we get back."

A glint of light flashed in Cao Xing's eyes, and he immediately made the decision, saying, "That's great!"

"Without delay, let's head to the Frost Oath Great Wall right now!"

The two ice giants exchanged a glance and said in unison, "No problem, this powerful human lord!"

Immediately afterwards, led by Cao Xing, everyone jumped onto Bingbing's back.

"Groan——!!!"

The enormous Calamity Dragon let out a loud roar and spread its ice crystal wings that blotted out the sky.

With a flap of its wings, it once again soared to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Then, he led Cao Xing and the others at breakneck speed into the deeper parts of the [Eternal Frozen Sea]!

...

...

“Hoohoooo ...

A cold wind howled high in the sky, carrying countless ice crystal fragments, causing ripples to appear on the energy shields on everyone's bodies.

Another half hour passed, and they had traveled another three thousand kilometers.

During this time, under the watchful eye of Renis [Eye of the Sky], almost all the treasures they encountered along the way, frozen deep within the ice, were precisely located by her. Cao Xing would also spend more time having Bingbing lead them down into the ice, where they would use diamond pickaxes to excavate these treasures one by one.

Half an hour later, a batch of valuable spoils had appeared in the backpack.

During the flight, Cao Xing suppressed his excitement and took stock of his spoils.

In total:

[Frozen Golden Treasure Chest *2]

[Frozen Silver Treasure Chest *5]

[Mermaid Singer Figurehead (Damaged) *1]

[Skeleton of an Unknown Creature *1]

...

After removing the last two items (which don't contain any items), I got 7 treasure chests!
It's important to know that even with Cao Xing's territory's strength, he might not be able to obtain one treasure chest per day on land.

In this sea area, a total of 7 were obtained in just half an hour!
At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of the Eternally Frozen Sea, there are opportunities everywhere here!"

"Now, let's open these treasure chests and see what's inside and how it differs from the treasure chests outside."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing stood on the dragon's back, then tapped his staff lightly, casting a magic shield in advance.

The next moment, he waved his hand.

Seven treasure chests, covered in ice and gleaming with a metallic sheen, appeared prominently within the shield.

When Cao Xing gets close, a system notification appears.

[A frozen golden treasure chest has been discovered. Should it be opened?]

【Discover……】

...

Cao Xing clicked "Yes" in unison.

The next moment, fine cracks quickly appeared on the ice layer on the surface of the treasure chest!

"Crack—crack—!"

With a clear cracking sound, the openings of the seven treasure chests opened simultaneously.

Strange light emanated from it, as if it contained a treasure.

Then, without even looking at them, Cao Xing put all the props into his backpack.

[Obtained: 2 Tier 7 Dragonblood Warrior Recruitment Scrolls (Elite)]

[Obtained: 3 Tier 7 Murloc Spellcaster Recruitment Scrolls]

[Obtained: 7th Tier Dragonblood Warrior Recruitment Scrolls]

[Obtained: 8 Tier 7 Merfolk Warrior Recruitment Scrolls]

[Received: 5 Longyan Ore (Gold)]

[Obtained: Large Anti-Corruption Potion *2]

[Obtained: Glacier Fragment * 16]

[Obtained: Medium Anti-Corrosion Potion *4]

【get……】

...

When Cao Xing saw the system notifications flooding the screen, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face!
"Holy crap! What did I just see? Nine Dragonblood Warrior Recruitment Scrolls appeared all at once!"

"This is a huge profit!"

It's important to know that Dragonblood Warriors are a powerful unit; each one is a warrior who has survived countless near-death experiences, having fused with the blood of an ice dragon.

Their combat power almost completely overwhelms other types of troops!
However... these powerful troop scrolls can currently only be obtained by exchanging them in the system shop, and a few can also be obtained from the Ice Dragon series treasure chests.

To date, most lords' territories only have a few Dragonblood Warriors, not even enough to form a ten-person squad.

Cao Xing currently has over two hundred Dragon Blood Warriors, which is the most among all survivors in the entire server.

Moreover, all of his Dragonblood Warriors have a minimum combat power of level 70, with a minimum potential of elite level.

When this team unleashes its full power, its combat strength is truly terrifying!
However, who wouldn't want more powerful troops in their territory?

The same goes for Cao Xing; he has always wanted to build a Dragon Blood Warrior legion of a thousand men, but he has never had the opportunity!

However, the treasure chest unearthed from the ice this time actually contained a recruitment scroll for this unit!
"This means that the treasure chests in this sea area have a high probability of containing Dragon Blood Warrior Recruitment Scrolls!"

"With patience, we can keep uncovering the treasure chests deep within the ice."

"Given time, I may even be able to build a Dragonblood Warrior legion of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't contain his excitement and couldn't wait to go treasure hunting on the sea!

Of course, besides the Dragonblood Warriors, another unit type that we had never encountered before was also introduced this time: the Murlocs.

However, since he had never encountered this unit before, Cao Xing did not know its specific combat capabilities and could only wait until it was summoned to find out.

"call……"

He took a deep breath and put all the scrolls into his backpack.

Then, Cao Xing looked at the two ice giants sitting next to him and asked, "Approximately how far is it to the Frost Oath Wall?"

The giant Harrag replied, "My mighty human lord, we are still about two thousand kilometers away from the Frostsworn Wall."

"At the speed of your legendary dragon, you should arrive in half an hour at most."

Cao Xing nodded slightly and said no more.

Instead, he pondered it silently in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't expect to encounter the Ice Giants or go to the Frost Oath Wall to help when he first set out for the Frozen Sea.

According to his plan, he originally intended to familiarize himself with the environment here first, and then go to the Silver Sea Kingdom to try to obtain the legendary weapon: Dance of Fine Snow.

Then venture deeper into the sea, head to the target location, and complete the S-rank mission: The Blessing of Lady Luck.

While we're at it, let's also find the location of that mysterious sea chart.

Unexpectedly, they encountered these two ice giants on the way, and now they have to deal with the ice nest monster crisis.

This somewhat disrupted my plans.

But it doesn't matter, Cao Xing just opened the map and took a look.

The two locations I need to go to are: the Silver Sea Kingdom, which is on the eastern coast of the Frozen Sea, and is extremely far away, at least tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Even at Bingbing's pace, it would take a whole day to go round trip.

The second location, the first part of the God of Luck quest, is about the same distance away.

Moreover, this location is at the very depths of the permafrost sea.

Therefore, the nearest place at present is the Frost Oath Wall, where these ice giants are stationed.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "There's still almost a month until the new expansion is released."

"I can first go to the Frost Oath Great Wall to grind some monsters, and then take some time to go to the Silver Sea Kingdom, and then try to go deeper into the sea to complete the quest: The Blessing of the God of Luck."

"There's still plenty of time, so there's no rush."

He quickly came up with his next plan in his mind.

Just then, Renis's voice rang out again: "My lord, I've discovered something else beneath the ice!"

Cao Xing looked up, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes: "Oh? What is it this time? Another treasure chest, or some other treasure?"

Renis didn't speak, but instead narrowed her hawk-like eyes, focusing all her vision to penetrate the thick ice.

After a moment, she slowly shook her head and said, "That doesn't look like any kind of treasure..."

"More like, a type of fish?"

Upon hearing this, the people on the dragon's back were immediately intrigued.

Elisa exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! Fish!"

"Is it a sea fish from the permafrost sea? Could it be the legendary sea monster?"

The burly Brûlé excitedly raised his shield and exclaimed, "Oh! The fish in the frozen sea are exceptionally delicious. Legend has it that one bite will leave you with an unforgettable memory for years to come!"

After hearing this, Elisa asked curiously, "Uncle Bloom, are the fish in the frozen sea really that delicious?"

"Of course!"

Without hesitation, Bloom replied, "Especially those deep-sea fish, they are incredibly delicious!"

"Their flesh is as if blessed by the gods, soft, tender, and sweet!"

"Back when I was a sailor, if we caught a deep-sea fish, the whole ship would celebrate for a long time!"

"If we can bring a big fish ashore and sell it to the land merchants, it will be worth more than a month's profit for the whole ship!"

Bloom explained with great enthusiasm.

Elisa listened, her mouth practically watering.

Her small eyes kept gazing at the ice below, as if she were filled with longing!

At this moment, Renis asked, "My lord, shall we go down?"

Everyone turned their attention to Cao Xing, after all, he was the one making the decisions here...
