Chapter 5: First Kill Reward: Snake-Person Priest Recruitment Scroll
Poof!
This axe directly split a bloody mark on the Snowfield Viper's smooth body, instantly tearing the skin and flesh.
【-8】
A damage number floated up.
The Snowfield Viper felt the pain, and the force of its bite became heavier.
However, under the state of infinite health regeneration, Da Zhuang was like he had been injected with chicken blood.
He grabbed the Snowfield Viper and started hacking and slashing wildly.
Poof! Poof poof!
【-10】
【-9】
【-9】
...
Sounds of flesh being hit rang out one after another.
After biting a few times, this Snowfield Viper also seemed to realize something was wrong.
Its health was constantly decreasing, and it quickly dropped below 80.
However, this opponent was clearly weaker than itself, yet after fighting until now, he was still full of vitality!
The viper was dumbfounded.
It also realized that the enemy's state in front of it was a bit off.
It twisted its body, turned around, and wanted to slip away.
Cao Xing had been watching the Snowfield Viper's movements from behind. Seeing this situation, he quickly said from behind, "Don't let it escape, Er Zhuang, you go too!"
"At your service, my Dear Lord!"
Er Zhuang obeyed the command and rushed up together, getting entangled with this Snowfield Viper.
With Er Zhuang's addition, this Snowfield Viper's health drained faster.
Poof! Poof poof!
Two stone axes continuously hacked at the viper's body.
Before long, its health dropped below 30.
At the same time, after a short rest, Cao Xing also recovered a little mental power.
So, he raised his staff, and the nearby frost power condensed.
Before long, a fist-sized Ice Ball formed at the top of Cao Xing's staff.
"Go!"
Cao Xing waved his staff.
This Ice Ball was instantly shot out.
Then it landed on the Snowfield Viper's body and exploded with a 'bang'!
【-21!】
An exaggerated damage number emerged from the Snowfield Viper.
The enemy's health returned to zero, and it completely fell down.
A system prompt appeared.
【Successfully killed Snowfield Viper Lv2, you gained 30 experience points.
【Combat personnel: Da Zhuang gained 15 experience points, Er Zhuang gained 15 experience points.】
【Congratulations! You are the first creature in this area to kill a wild monster, obtaining the first kill reward: Snake-Person Priest Recruitment Scroll*1.】
...
Seeing the power of the 【Ice Ball Technique】, both Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang had shocked expressions in their eyes.
"Lord, your power is full of deterrence!"
"Lord is so powerful!"
Cao Xing glanced at them lightly.
These Polar People are easily surprised by what they haven't seen before.
The Frost Mage profession is like this; high damage also brings high consumption.
This single Ice Ball Technique directly drained the mental power he had painstakingly recovered.
At the same time.
Cao Xing came before the corpse of this Snowfield Viper, and a system prompt appeared before him.
【Snowfield Viper Corpse (Can be decomposed)】
Cao Xing directly clicked decompose.
In an instant, the Snowfield Viper's body disappeared.
Then, a damaged snakeskin, over a dozen segments of fresh red snake meat, and a purple venom sac appeared on the cold snow.
【Damaged Snakeskin (White)*1】
(Although damaged, it can still be used to make simple leather clothing.)
【Fresh Snake Meat (Green)*17】
(Fresh snake meat, 1 piece of snake meat = 5 food)
【Venom Sac (Green)*1】
(Snake's venom sac, when applied to weapons, seems to have unexpected effects?)
...
Seeing the items on the ground, a look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.
"Holy cow! So much snake meat, and a snakeskin too, this is a huge drop!"
17 pieces of snake meat is a full 85 food!
And most importantly, besides dry bread, they now have new food.
And it's delicious fresh snake meat!
At this moment, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang were staring intently at the fresh red snake meat on the ground, and sounds of swallowing saliva appeared one after another.
"Meat... it's meat!"
"Oh my god! How many years has it been since we last saw meat!"
"Er Zhuang, pinch me, I'm not dreaming, right?"
Polar People are creatures that live in the underground world year-round and rarely get to eat fresh meat.
Cao Xing didn't know their way of life, but through some conversations with the Polar People before, he could tell that their environment must be very harsh.
Er Zhuang pulled Da Zhuang's Middle-aged man with a Goat Beard and exclaimed, "Da Zhuang, you're not dreaming, this is real meat!"
"Oh my god, if someone can let me have a bite of delicious meat, I'm willing to give my life for him!"
Cao Xing also knew that these Polar People were saying this for him to hear.
"Alright, you all speed up your work progress, tonight everyone will have snake soup together."
Upon hearing this, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang immediately scrambled up from the ground and shouted.
"Long live the Lord!"
"We'll go work now!"
Then the two Polar People raised their stone axes and went tree chopping with high enthusiasm.
Watching their enthusiastic appearance, Cao Xing collected all the materials on the ground.
He looked at Liu Muxue beside him and said:
"Da Sao, did you remember?"
"If you encounter enemies in the wild, you must fight like this to kill them."
Liu Muxue held the shield in her arms and nodded firmly, "Mhm, I remembered, A Xing."
Cao Xing nodded, then took her back near the Campfire.
The moment they entered the Campfire's covered area, the coldness was instantly dispelled by a large margin.
"Hiss!"
The two instantly shivered.
This time, they were active outside for about seven minutes.
According to Cao Xing's estimate, their current maximum activity time is fifteen minutes.
If they could make cold-resistant clothing, their activity time could be extended much further.
Cao Xing glanced at his Lord resources.
【Food*105, Wood*36, Stone*54】
"The materials for building a Sewing Shop are still not enough, it seems it can't be built today."
"So, are there any other ways to resist the severe cold?"
Cao Xing turned his gaze to the side, towards the Polar People wearing thick snow suits.
It's clear that the set of clothes these Polar People wear is very thick and has excellent cold resistance...
It is estimated that at this time, most survivors' idea would be to use some forceful means to snatch the clothes from these Polar People.
But I advise you not to do that.
Because once you kill the first Polar Person, that race's favorability will directly drop by 50%.
When you kill the second Polar Person, you will completely become hostile with this race.
Not only will you be unable to recruit Polar People to work for you in the future, but Polar People encountered on the road will also attack your camp.
Cao Xing thought to himself, "Forget it, let's just bear with it for today."
"I estimate that by tomorrow, we'll have enough wood and stone to build the Sewing Shop."
At this moment, Cao Xing remembered the first kill reward the system had just given him, which seemed to be a recruitment scroll.
After taking it out of his backpack, the scroll's attributes appeared before him.
【Snake-Person Priest Recruitment Scroll: Can summon a Level 5 Snake-Person Priest to assist the Lord in combat.】
【Occupies 2 population.】
Seeing this system description, Cao Xing's expression immediately brightened.
Wow, it's actually a scroll that can summon a Level 5 creature!
This reward is really good!
However, Cao Xing had never encountered the Snake-Person race when playing the game before, and he didn't know what they were like.
Of course, it's also possible that because Cao Xing hadn't developed to the later stages, he hadn't explored the full scope of that game at all.
The vastness of this world is beyond Cao Xing's imagination.
【Consume the scroll to summon the Snake-Person Priest?】
"Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hexagram array appeared out of thin air in front of Cao Xing.
The next moment, the hexagram array emitted dazzling light.
Liu Muxue was also watching Cao Xing's actions nearby with curiosity.
At the same time, they suddenly felt that a powerful and cold aura seemed to descend.
Then, a cold wind blew.
A creature with a winding body, completely snow-white, appeared.
The five-meter-long snake body was covered in scales, and its slender tail swayed casually in the snow.
And on top of this snake body, there was a human female head.
With slender eyes, and defined facial features, it looked full of charm at first glance.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue beside him both watched this huge beautiful snake with shock.
"Such... such a big snake..." Liu Muxue's small mouth slightly opened.
Cao Xing was also seeing this kind of creature for the first time, it was somewhat beyond his imagination.
"So this is the Snake-Person race? It really lives up to its name."
At this moment, this creature with a snake body and human head was staring at Cao Xing with its eerie green pupils, then opened its dark purple lips and said softly.
"Dear Lord, Snake-Person Priest, Ilena is at your service."
The attributes of this snake-person appeared before Cao Xing.
