Chapter 855: Chapter 323: Operation Begins, Encountering a Mammoth Herd
Even Eliza, standing nearby, had a somewhat peculiar look in her eyes.
However, she did not show it. Instead, she glanced at the beast-eared lady and then at Cao Xing, a sly smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Helli Feiying saw that Cao Xing still hadn’t agreed.
She lightly bit her lip, as if making some kind of decision.
Then she unexpectedly put the necklace around her own neck.
In the next moment, a system prompt appeared.
[Territory member: Helli Feiying is handing over control of the [Spirit Contract Demon Ring] to you. Upon acceptance, you will be able to control and manage the ring.]
…
Cao Xing’s expression turned strange.
But he chose to accept nonetheless.
In the next moment, Cao Xing felt a connection establish between him and the demon ring.
With a thought, he tried to operate it.
The collar on the neck of the beast-eared lady in front of him suddenly tightened sharply!
She displayed a very uncomfortable expression.
Her little tiger fangs exposed, and her breathing became increasingly difficult.
A gentle, cat-like panting sound escaped her lips.
“Ooh… ooh…”
Making everyone nearby feel a bit awkward.
Cao Xing just tested it and immediately withdrew control over the thing.
Helli Feiying breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Then she patted her flat chest and said: “Now, can you rest assured?”
“If I don’t behave, you can use this to punish me at any time.”
Cao Xing nodded speechlessly.
“I understand, go wait with the team.”
“Everyone else, give her a status effect.”
Since the beast-eared lady assassin was so perceptive, handing over such life-controlling power to him,
naturally, Cao Xing had to display the demeanor worthy of a Lord.
Upon hearing the command, everyone cast various skills on Helli.
Black Smoke Totem, Firepower Enhancement, Snake-man Tribe Frenzy, Queen’s Will…
The aura on the beast-eared lady’s body began to increase rapidly.
And as permanent states were added one by one, Helli Feiying’s emerald green pupils widened continuously.
“By the Dark Night God above, what is this… Oh my God!”
She was so shocked that she became somewhat incoherent.
And Cao Xing, together with Liu Muxue, cast Ice Healing Skill, Ice Armor Skill, Courage Blessing, and Aurora Blessing over.
In an instant, Helli’s attack power, armor, recovery ability, and mobility surged up significantly!
She was entirely stunned.
Her pair of furry ears trembled incessantly.
Then she nearly blankly said: “So that’s where those soldiers’ powerful aura comes from.”
“Is this the magical power belonging to this territory?”
Eliza beside her said proudly: “Oh no, it’s the unique power of the Lord himself.”
“Impressive, isn’t it?”
Helli Feiying nodded repeatedly: “It’s amazing!”
“To have such a powerful blessing, it’s simply comparable to Divine power!”
[Because you helped enhance her strength, territory member: Helli Feiying’s loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 78]
…
At this moment, the beast-eared lady directly went down on one knee.
“Thank you, Lord, for your blessing.”
“Helli will serve you well in the future, you can ask me to do anything!”
Cao Xing nodded slightly, “Rise, go wait with the team.”
“Everyone else, be prepared!”
As he finished speaking, the bodies of over two hundred people on the field straightened.
Cao Xing directly said: “Then, Bojie, Rab, you lead your Dragon Blood Warriors and other warriors to follow behind the team, heading toward the vicinity of Dorun Lake City.”
“Remember not to approach immediately, I’ll give you a rendezvous point, wait for my signal.”
“Old man Tyrone, you follow along with them.”
Old Mage Tyrone was getting on in years and his move speed wasn’t fast.
Upon hearing this, Commander Bo Jie and Wild Boar Warrior Rab both respectfully said: “Yes, Lord!”
Then, Cao Xing said: “Then everyone else, set off with me now!”
“Head at full speed for Dorun Lake City!”
“Moo——”
Da Bai swung his trunk, stepping out on all fours and dashed ahead, seemingly happy to be heading out.
And beside it, accompanied by the now transformed leader, Wally Bell, and the fifth-ranked leader-level Little Blue.
Along with Tong Chuchu, seated in the mecha cockpit, activating low-altitude flight mode, following behind the team.
It’s worth mentioning that last night, Cao Xing used [Demon Slave: Disguiser] skill on the [Earth Dragon Mecha].
To his surprise, the disguise could also be applied to the mecha.
Now, the mecha turned into an all-black mecha, exuding a faint black mist.
It looked very fierce, full of deterrence.
However, generally, Cao Xing didn’t intend to deploy the mecha, since its features were too obvious.
…
Everyone raced along with the wind!
Hurriedly making their way.
You could say, this would be the farthest place they had been.
However, it was also that place, full of resources.
Moreover, if the action was successful, Cao Xing would gain astonishing benefits!
After sprinting a hundred kilometers,
Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear and said: “Sarah, Helli, you scout ahead.”
“If you see any humans on the road, remember to notify us in advance.”
This time, he planned to avoid crowds as much as possible during the mission.
Then, upon nearing Dorun Lake City, use Disguise Technique collectively, minimizing the risk of exposure.
The two assassins disappeared instantly after hearing this.
This was Cao Xing’s first task order, and Helli also wanted to perform well.
She drew her dagger, sprinting ahead all the way.
Everyone followed behind.
“Boom! Boom boom!”
The massive mammoth’s running sound was impressive.
Plus, there was an equally large Frost Moose alongside it,
From afar, the beasts wandering the snow field didn’t dare approach.
With Sarah and Helli scouting ahead,
they continuously sent back information.
Then, based on their intel, Cao Xing kept altering the route.
Very soon, the morning passed.
They had traveled nearly 600 kilometers!
Cao Xing also took some time to look at the chat channel.
Many survivors had already seen the mighty King’s Army at Dorun Lake City and had taken pictures of it.
By rough estimate, there were nearly fifty thousand people.
Survivors naturally noticed this army was different from the previous one.
This army, fully equipped, looked capable of forcefully crushing any obstacle.
Even the fearsome Alien Ghost army couldn’t stop it!
For a while, many felt tempted.
At this moment, a hint of worry appeared on Cao Xing’s face, pondering: “The King’s Army has arrived at Dorun Lake City, I don’t know when they’ll launch an attack.”
“If they launch an attack immediately, that’ll be troublesome.”
Cao Xing’s original plan was to use the ceasefire period to infiltrate the city and loot.
If the war breaks out now, there won’t be enough time.
Of course, even if the war breaks out, Cao Xing still saw opportunities.
Battles involving tens of thousands last longer—not like when Cao Xing dealt with hundreds.
A war could last a day or two, even a week is normal.
Especially since it’s a siege.
In such chaos, there’ll be less attention in the city, allowing him to sneak in and loot freely!
At that moment, Sarah’s voice came through.
“There’s something ahead, I see a group of migrating Ice Plain Mammoths.”
Cao Xing was taken aback, then asked puzzled: “A group of mammoths?”
According to the natives of this world, Ice Plain Mammoths are extremely rare holy creatures.
Even in the entire Gale Snow Plain, they’re not common.
Thus, the number of mammoth herds is small.
He looked at his mount under his feet.
“Da Bai, could it be that in that mammoth group, there are your mom and dad?”
…
