Chapter 7: Big Haul!
Seeing the description of the coal mine, Cao Xing's eyes instantly lit up.
So many resources!
If they could occupy this coal mine, they wouldn't have to worry about resources in the short term!
However, this coal mine was currently in an 'Unoccupiable' state.
This was because there were enemies inside the mine tunnel.
They saw two snow-white figures moving inside the mine tunnel.
Seemingly sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Ilena.
The two snow wolves emerged one after another.
"Awoo!!!"
Their bodies were covered in snow-white fur, their size reached two meters, and their exposed fangs gave off a strong sense of oppression.
The two snow wolves stood at the entrance of the mine tunnel, their limbs tense, watching Ilena vigilantly, letting out threatening growls.
Cao Xing saw the snow wolves' attributes.
【Snow Wolf: Level 3】
【Race: Beast】
【Health: 220/220】
【Attack: 16~18】
【Attributes: Strength 8, Agility 9, Spirit 7, Constitution 11】
【Skills: Bite, Pounce】
【Racial Talent: Pack Effect (If the number of snow wolves participating in combat simultaneously reaches 10 or more, the Pack Talent can be activated, increasing attack power and movement speed by 20%.)】
...
Indeed, they were Level 3 snow wolves, and the other snow wolf's attributes were similar.
Cao Xing understood.
Fortunately, there were only two snow wolves here. If the wolf pack was too large, their racial talent would be activated, and Cao Xing would have to turn around and run.
But now, Cao Xing looked at the thick fur on the two snow wolves, as if he was seeing a smooth, young married woman.
"Hehehe... Little snow wolves, obediently contribute your fur!"
At this moment, Liu Muxue and Ilena simultaneously turned their heads to look at Cao Xing.
Cao Xing froze in place, extremely awkward.
Damn it, how did I say what was on my mind?
The two snow wolves also seemed to know that Cao Xing and the others were not to be trifled with, lowering their heads and continuously emitting threatening sounds.
The Serpentfolk Ilena flicked her scarlet tongue, not to be outdone.
"Hiss! Hiss hiss!"
The atmosphere between the two sides was tense.
And Liu Muxue, somewhat nervously, held up her wooden shield.
After a few seconds of confrontation, the two snow wolves were the first to lose patience.
They pounced towards them fiercely.
"Awoo!"
Liu Muxue held up her shield, the snow wolf's huge two-meter-long body making her feel immense pressure.
Her slender and slightly fleshy legs trembled slightly.
Just then, Cao Xing's voice came from behind: "Sister-in-law, raise your shield and block its attack!"
"Don't worry, your attributes can handle it."
In her panic, Liu Muxue heard this and instantly felt like she had found her anchor, instinctively following his instructions.
She raised her shield, and the snow wolf's claws swiped across at the same time.
Bang!
"Mm..." Liu Muxue let out a soft cry.
After a collision sound, the scene of Liu Muxue being knocked flying didn't happen as expected.
A layer of snow-white scales appeared on her arm, reducing much of the impact for her.
"Blocked... blocked it?" Liu Muxue looked at the scene before her in surprise.
Cao Xing praised from behind: "Sister-in-law, well done!"
Receiving Cao Xing's encouragement, Liu Muxue became more confident.
She took a deep breath, making her proud chest appear even more substantial.
Liu Muxue raised her shield again and again, enduring the attacks of this snow wolf.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Collision sounds rang out one after another, but Liu Muxue still gritted her teeth and didn't retreat a single step.
The muscles in her legs covered in white silk were tense, and her rounded buttocks trembled slightly.
It was clear that Liu Muxue usually exercised; in her shield-holding stance, her perfect body curves were fully displayed.
"Sister-in-law, besides blocking attacks, you also need to remember to use the weapon in your other hand to counterattack the enemy."
Cao Xing was teaching Liu Muxue how to fight.
Liu Muxue followed completely.
Taking advantage of a snow wolf's claw swipe missing, she raised the stone axe in her hand and chopped towards the snow wolf's head.
Pfft!
【-8】
【-2】
【-2】
The number in front was the chopping damage Liu Muxue dealt, and the one behind was the accompanying snake venom effect.
Although the damage was very low, it was negligible compared to the snow wolf's health of over two hundred.
But it also gave Liu Muxue confidence.
"So, I can block these monsters too..."
Then, Liu Muxue gradually found her attacking rhythm.
Pfft! Pfft pfft!
【-8】
【-9】
【-14!】 (Critical Hit Damage)
She blocked the snow wolf's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.
Cao Xing, meanwhile, was condensing Ice Orb spells behind her.
Pop!
【-19】
This time, the Ice Orb damage wasn't as high as the first time.
This was because the snow wolf was a Level 3 creature, and its defense was higher than that of the snow land vipers.
The two of them working together to deal with this snow wolf felt somewhat precarious but ultimately safe.
As for the Serpentfolk Ilena next to them, she was unilaterally suppressing the other snow wolf.
Her spear was so sharp,
Every thrust poked several bloody holes in the snow wolf's body.
【-37】
【-2】
【-32】
【-2】
...
In no time, this snow wolf's health was reduced to below half.
In contrast, every time the snow wolf clawed Ilena, most of the damage would be reduced by her scaled shell, resulting in single-digit damage values.
At this point, green +3, +3 would appear above Ilena's head.
Her health would be fully replenished in no time.
This scene directly made the snow wolf in front of her feel despair.
Facing such an enemy with infinite health regeneration, how could it fight?
In less than thirty seconds, Ilena finished off this snow wolf.
【Your territory member: Ilena killed a Snow Wolf Lv3, gaining 40 experience points.】
【You gained 20 experience points.】
Liu Muxue also received the same system notification.
When Ilena finished the battle on her side, she quickly twisted her body and came over to help Cao Xing's side of the battle.
With Ilena's addition, the subsequent battle had no suspense.
The last snow wolf let out a mournful cry, then fell to the ground dead.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
As modern people, this was their first time fighting in this manner.
Although Cao Xing appeared calm, he was actually very nervous inside.
If Liu Muxue couldn't hold on, then with his small physique, he would be even less able to withstand the snow wolf's attack.
Fortunately, Liu Muxue didn't disappoint.
Cao Xing walked over, saw the pale-faced Liu Muxue, and patted her back, saying, "Sister-in-law, you worked hard, your performance this time was very good!"
Hearing this, Liu Muxue nodded her head slightly, and her inner tension dissipated somewhat.
Cao Xing shifted his gaze.
At this moment, there were two wolf carcasses on the ground.
【Snow Wolf Carcass * 2 (Can be decomposed)】
Cao Xing directly clicked decompose.
A white light enveloped the two wolf carcasses, and a second later, a large pile of materials appeared on the ground.
【Slightly Damaged Wolf Fur (Green) * 2】
(Thick wolf fur, can be made into coats, has good cold resistance.)
【Fresh Wolf Meat (Green) * 134】
(Chewy wolf meat, 1 piece of wolf meat = 5 food)
【Snow Wolf Bones (Green) * 32】
(Hard bones, you can use them to make simple armor and weapons, or to make soup?)
【Wolf Fang (Green) * 11】
(Sharp wolf fangs, you can use them to make arrows, or tie them to wooden sticks to make spears.)
【Frost Wolf Knight Recruitment Scroll (Blue) * 1】
(A scroll containing contract power, you can immediately summon a powerful Level 10 Frost Wolf Knight, but before that, please ensure you have enough food.)
...
Seeing the materials all over the ground, the shock in Cao Xing's eyes grew even stronger.
"Holy crap! This is a big haul!"
Cao Xing was overjoyed!
Two wolf furs directly solved their raw material problem for making cold-resistant clothing, which could be said to have solved their urgent need!
Needless to say, the wolf meat, over a hundred portions in total, if eaten sparingly, would be enough for them to get through half a month without a problem.
And the most exaggerated, of course, was that Frost Wolf Warrior Recruitment Scroll!
It could actually summon a Level 10 creature, even stronger than Ilena!
Liu Muxue's face also showed joy; she also knew how valuable these resources were.
"That's great, A Xing!"
Cao Xing nodded.
He picked up a snow-white wolf fur from the ground and draped it over Liu Muxue.
Although it wasn't made into clothing, just these two wolf furs could provide good cold protection.
Liu Muxue instantly felt a warmth envelop her, and she looked at Cao Xing gratefully, "Thank you, A Xing."
"You're welcome, Sister-in-law."
After Cao Xing finished speaking, he also draped the other wolf fur over himself.
In an instant, the severe cold of this world was dispelled significantly.
At this moment, Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh.
Finally, he wasn't fighting in the snow wearing a T-shirt and shorts anymore!
...
