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

Chapter 917 Fivefold Divine Power Fragments Awaken the Frozen Giant!

This gave Cao Xing a glimmer of hope.

"I used to think that I would have to kill a god if I wanted to break through to the demigod level."

"Unexpectedly, things have taken a new turn for the better."

Just like how Meng Yi suddenly requested to be his friend and formed an alliance with him.

The appearance of this ring was also perfectly timed.

However, finding the location where the progenitor of giants fell using this ring is no easy task.

Cao Xing tried to lift it up and carefully sensed it.

There were indeed some extremely vague directional signs, quite faint, and they seemed to point to the deeper parts of the permafrost sea.

This also suggests that it will take a considerable amount of time to pinpoint the exact location where the Founding Titan fell.

Cao Xing said in a deep voice, "It just so happens that I'm planning to explore the frozen sea soon."

"Let's go check it out when we get closer to that area."

He slowly let out a sigh of relief.

This ring added another task to his list of responsibilities in the frozen sea.

Meanwhile, shortly after Cao Xing finished inspecting the spoils of war...

A series of imposing figures walked in through the entrance to the main hall.

There is a phantom dancer whose figure is elusive and whose twin blades gleam with a cold light: Sarah Blade Dance.

Renis Hawkeye, a hunter of the skies who carries the longbow of time and whose eyes are sharper than those of an eagle.

And behind her followed countless blood spiders, the Blood Spider Queen, with an eerie and beautiful aura: Hilda Blood Kiss.

The group of powerful figures had already cleaned up the battlefield.

After Renis approached the lord, she handed him a backpack and said, "My lord, these are all the materials dropped by those ice nest monsters and white ghosts. They have all been collected."

"The Ice Nest army in this main battlefield is much larger, so it took us much longer to clear it."

Sarah gracefully stepped forward and handed over a blue backpack: "My lord, these are the high-level materials dropped by those legendary and demigod-level ice nest monsters, which have been placed together separately."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "Very good, everyone has worked hard."

After saying that, he took the backpack from Renis's hand and transferred all the spoils inside.

Immediately afterwards, the notification message that had been flooding the screen sounded again.

[Obtained: Ice Dragon Mark *7592034]

[Obtained: Glacier Fragment * 3678724]

[Received: Glacier Core (Orange) * 112492]

[Obtained: Filthy Essence (Purple) * 3419244]

[Obtained: Evil Essence (Gold) * 417928]

[Received: Rotten Essence (Orange) * 32185]

[Received: 166782 Longyan Ore (Gold)]

【get……】

...

Looking at the materials in his backpack that had increased dramatically again, Cao Xing felt a strong sense of satisfaction.

This time, from arriving at the Frost Oath Wall, the crisis at the first battlefield was resolved.

Then they headed north and successively eliminated the monster alliance in the four main battlefields.

They have killed tens of millions of Ice Nest monsters and White Walkers.

With so many monsters, naturally a large number of rare materials were dropped.

The total value of the [Ice Dragon Mark] alone exceeds 2000 million!
Although the Dragon Shop is not yet open, Cao Xing doesn't know what these marks can be exchanged for.

But it certainly won't be too bad.

In addition, there are a large number of advanced materials such as glacier fragments, glacier cores, and dragon rock ore.

It can be said that the materials Cao Xingguang collected this time will be enough to sustain the development of Xinghuo City for a long time, and their value is immeasurable.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Xing took the backpack from Sarah's hand.

This contains materials dropped by legendary and demigod-level monsters.

This is the biggest takeaway from this battle.

Especially those three demigod-level ice nest monsters; even he was killing ice nest creatures of this level for the first time, and he wondered what rare items they would drop.

With anticipation, Cao Xing transferred all the items from his backpack to the new location.

[Obtained: Ice Dragon Crystal (Unknown) *42]

[Obtained: 38 Frosty Land Runestones (Unknown)]

[Obtained: Dark Energy Sphere (Unknown) *3]

...

There aren't many items dropped by these demigods and legendary monsters; only three types.

However, it caught Cao Xing's eye.

"Huh? There are actually 38 Frostland Rune Stones!"

"The drop rate is pretty good!"

After all, these [Cold Land Rune Stones] are very useful; they have a good effect whether used to enhance ice-type buildings or ice-type equipment.

It can be said that the more the better.

Three more [Dark Energy Spheres] were also released.

Including the gains from the previous three battlefields, there are now a total of 7 Dark Energy Spheres.

Cao Xing stared at the seven slowly rotating energy balls in his backpack, each emanating an evil aura.

He muttered to himself, "According to the system's description, this thing can enhance the strength of undead creatures and even allow them to advance in rank."

"With these seven energy orbs in my hand, I should be able to create about two legendary undead creatures, right?"

That's right, Cao Xing wanted to use these energy balls on Duke Baladin and the Black Knight Tyrness.

As undead, they have few means to improve themselves, and they can't even be recruited into the territory.

Therefore, this kind of [dark energy sphere] is a rare treasure to them!
It is worth mentioning that since the Blood War, Duke Baladin and Tyrness have been wandering around the Ice Crystal Kingdom.

Cao Xing's task for them was to transform all undead creatures within the Ice Crystal Kingdom into Ascalon undead.

Duke Baladin's ability to transform into the undead, combined with Tyrness's combat prowess, allowed him to move freely throughout the Ice Crystal Kingdom.

After several months, the number of undead has already exceeded one million.

Furthermore, since the Battle of Starfire City, the entire Northern Territory has been unified.

At Cao Xing's instruction, Duke Baladin and Tyrness's search area has expanded from the original Ice Crystal Kingdom to the entire Northern Territory.

Even now, Cao Xing doesn't know how far the Duke of Paladin's Ascalon army is progressing or what size it has grown to.

But they haven't contacted me in the last few months, so things must be going very smoothly.

When we meet again, I might give Cao Xing a big surprise!

He thought with great anticipation, and exclaimed, "The Cold Land Runestone and the Energy Orb are both quite effective."

"However, in addition to these two special materials, something new has also been revealed this time."

As he spoke, a crystal-clear, rhomboid-shaped crystal appeared in Cao Xing's hand, its entire surface displaying a deep, icy blue color.

The crystal surface is covered with dragon scale-like patterns, exuding a chilling aura.

This thing is called [Ice Dragon Crystal].

"This kind of crystal seems to only drop from Ice Nest Monsters of demigod level or higher."

"Now let me see what it does."

【Ice Dragon Crystal (Unknown)】

[Quality: unknown]

[Item Type: Special]

[Item Description: A crystallization of the power of an ancient dragon, containing a trace of pure extreme ice law]

[Item Effect 1: Placing it in your inventory increases Ice Element Affinity by 5% and Spirit Regeneration by 3%, stacking up to 10 times.]

[Item Effect 2: Can be crushed and absorbed directly, replenishing 50 points of divine power.]

...

After reading the item description, Cao Xing was stunned once again.

"Holy crap... This thing can increase ice element affinity and mental recovery speed just by keeping it in your backpack. Ten of them together are equivalent to 50% ice element affinity and 30% mental recovery speed!"

"For us ice mages, this upgrade is almost equivalent to a piece of equipment!"

"The second effect is even more incredible; it can actually replenish divine power. Isn't that equivalent to a [Divine Power Fragment]?"

The difference is that this thing replenishes more divine power; one can restore 50 divine power, which is equivalent to 5 times that of a divine power fragment!
Cao Xing quickly calculated in his mind: "The three demigod-level ice nest monsters dropped 42 [Ice Dragon Crystals], which translates to 210 [Divine Power Fragments]."

"On average, a demigod-level Ice Nest monster can drop 14 [Ice Dragon Crystals]."

"If I can just find a way to kill a hundred or so demigod-level ice nest monsters, I can even gather 10 divine power points, which will allow Malenina to possess god-level combat power in one fell swoop!"

Thinking about this, he became even more excited!

Of course, Cao Xing also knew that there couldn't possibly be that many demigod-level ice nest monsters for him to kill.

But this is still pretty good, as it's like having another source of divine power.

Cao Xing glanced at his backpack and counted the number of the two types of fragments. [Divine Power Fragments] * 616

【Ice Dragon Crystal】*42 pieces.

...

"That's right, all the fragments together are equivalent to more than 8,000 divine power points."

"This divine power is enough for two max-level legendary beings to break through to demigod status!"

"And in my backpack, there are still four unpurified divine flames..."

"It seems... I'll soon have two more demigod-level combatants."

Cao Xing's gaze quickly fell on Malenina and Bronn.

After all, his initial idea was to let these two powerful individuals break through first.

Now everything is ready, and it is time for these two to transform.

Just as Cao Xing was about to take out two divine flames to purify the flames, a strong tremor suddenly came from the Frost Oath City Wall beneath his feet.

"Boom... boom boom..."

The 10,000-meter-high city wall shook violently, as if it had been hit by a magnitude 10 earthquake, making it difficult for people to even stand.

The ice crystals on the city wall kept peeling off, making a crisp cracking sound.

"Gods above, what has happened?!" Braum immediately grabbed his shield and stood in front of Cao Xing.

"Whoa! Have those monsters started attacking again?"

Elisa quickly jumped out and drew back the bowstring.

The others also picked up their weapons and looked around warily.

At that moment, a giant warrior stumbled in and shouted, "Lord Cao Xing! The chieftain asked me to report to you that the awakening ceremony is ready."

"You can go there now."

Cao Xing steadied himself and couldn't help but admire the old clan chief's efficiency.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'm coming right now."

After saying that, Cao Xing looked at the powerful figures around him and said, "Let's go, come with me first."

The crowd responded in unison, "Yes, Lord!"

...

...

A few minutes later, Cao Xing led his group to the ice field below.

Before him, a group of giant warriors solemnly gazed at the city wall ahead and the towering figure of a giant standing two hundred meters tall.

It was none other than the current leader of the giants: Furen.

As the chieftain raised his ice-flame hammer high and chanted ancient incantations, the entire city wall began to tremble violently.

The ice on the surface kept falling off, and the inside of the city wall had become increasingly transparent.

The giants sealed within the ice, as if summoned from an ancient time, opened their eyes!
A powerful aura from ancient times surged forth from the depths of the city walls.

"Boom——!!!"

With a loud bang, the ice on the surface of the city wall shattered, and huge chunks of ice flew everywhere.

Before the fragments could even hit them, they were blocked by the massive body of Chief Fren in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, a series of burly figures leaped out of the gap.

They wielded various massive weapons, and each of them exuded a terrifying aura of at least legendary level!
Even though their bodies were covered in wounds, their indomitable fighting spirit and the ferocious fighting spirit in their blood made people feel a sense of unease.

"Warriors of the Giants, fight for glory!"

"Kill! Defend our homeland!"

"We swear to defend the Frost-Sworn Great Wall to the death!"

These legendary giants roared with deafening fury, their bodies radiating a chilling killing intent!
Especially after seeing the old patriarch awaken all the giants at the same time, they became even more aware that things were going badly.

After all, such a thing would only happen when the Frost Oath Wall was about to fall, or even when the Ice Giants were about to be wiped out.

They instinctively assumed fighting stances, their icy blue eyes burning with battle intent, ready to fight to the death with the enemy at any moment!

However, when they saw the peaceful battlefield before them and the unharmed giants, their fighting spirit was gradually replaced by doubt.

At this moment, three ancient and tall figures gradually emerged from behind this group of legendary giants.

They were all over two hundred meters tall, each covered in thick ice crystal armor, and all were seriously injured.

The giant on the left had half of its body corroded by the dragon's power, and its icy blue skin was covered with frost.

The giant in the middle is missing its right arm, and strange ice crystals have formed at the wound.

The giant on the right leans on an ice crystal cane, leaving a trail of footprints on the ground with each step he takes.

Among them, the giant missing his right arm looked at the giant chieftain before him and said in a voice like muffled thunder: "Chieftain Furen, you know that our days are numbered. We are saving our last bit of strength to prepare for our final battle."

"Now that you have abruptly awakened us, we need a reasonable explanation."

His voice was weak, but it carried a hint of anger.

The other giants also gripped their weapons tightly, their icy blue eyes flashing with doubt.

Faced with the giants' interrogation, Chief Fren took a deep breath.

He explained, "My heroes of the giant race, there is an important reason why I have awakened you all this time!"

"Cao Xing, the lord from another world and the current overlord of the northern border of the Western Continent, arrived at the Frost Oath Wall today and resolved the crisis facing our giant race."

"However, Droma's power is still recovering, and we need even greater power to fight against it."

"Therefore, Lord Cao Xing proposes to awaken you all from the seal and heal your injuries."

"But the prerequisite is that you all must join Lord Cao Xing's territory."

Chief Furen finished explaining the whole story in one breath, then slightly stepped aside to let Cao Xing and the others behind him pass.

Cao Xing stepped forward and said in a steady voice, "Everyone, as Chief Furen said, if you join my territory, I will help you recover from your injuries."

Upon hearing this, the giants immediately stirred up a commotion.

They didn't speak, but instead focused their attention on Cao Xing, sizing him up from head to toe.

Dozens of scrutinizing gazes, like needles, created a powerful sense of oppression, as if the surrounding air itself had frozen.

Cao Xing stood calmly in place, his expression unchanged.

At this moment, the old giant leaning on his cane sneered, "Fren, do you know what you're saying?"

"You want us to abandon the honor of the Ice Giants and join this human territory?"

"I think you're being ridiculous!"

The giant, whose body was half-corrupted, roared, "Fren, you woke us up for no reason, just for something like this? You're wasting our last bit of strength!"

"Many giants will die prematurely as a result, and you will bear full responsibility for this."

Other giants also let out low growls of discontent.

Clearly, they didn't believe that this weak human could heal their injuries.

This is understandable, given that these giants have been fighting here for thousands of years without ever receiving support from other races.

During this period, they even sought help from the human forces of the Western Continent several times, but were ruthlessly rejected each time.

Over time, they have lost trust in the outside world.

They preferred to wait in the ice for the final battle rather than believe any more promises from outsiders.

And there's another reason: no one knows better than them how serious their injuries are.

The wounds corroded by dragon breath were entwined with the curse power of Droma, and her body, frozen by ice magic, had long since become one with the ice crystals.

If they weren't clinging to their last breath, at least 80% of the giants here would already be dead.

In an attempt to prolong their lives, they tried various methods, and even once summoned the spirits of their ancestors.

Even the spirits of the ancestors were helpless against their injuries, so how could they be easily healed by a young human lord?

However, amidst the giants' doubts, a clear voice rang out from among the powerful figures behind Cao Xing.

"Hmph! You ignorant big guys have no idea how amazing the Lord's power is!"

"Even if others begged to join, they wouldn't be qualified."

"If you miss this opportunity, you'll definitely regret it so much you'll cry in your bed!"

Upon hearing this, the giants all turned their gazes in that direction.

At a glance, you can see a little girl wearing a white cotton-padded jacket and carrying a large bow, standing on the shoulder of a golem.

Her slender figure contrasted sharply with the towering golem at her feet, making her look like a little lark standing on a mountaintop.

Elisa stood with her hands on her hips, looking at them with a disappointed expression, as if she were looking at a bunch of idiots.

However, one of the giants replied, "We Ice Giants never regret the decisions we make, and we don't use blankets either."

Another legendary giant chuckled, "That's right, little bean."

"You've never fought those powerful Ice Nest Monsters, so you have no idea how troublesome the [Cryogenic Corrosion] they leave behind is."

"That's the power of an ancient dragon, something even the spirits of our ancestors couldn't overcome."

"You little rascals, you should go back to your beds and cry your eyes out."

Another giant chimed in, "That's right! Go back to your bed and cry, then wet your pants!"

"Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the group of giants!
