"It seems this area is a bit strange. There might be a hidden powerhouse."
"It’s a pity that the Light God is trapped in the Nether Abyss and can’t give much help."
At this mont, he opened the [World Channel] and checked it.
"The survivors in the Gale Snow Plain area seem to be all from District 17."
"But due to system limitations, before the rging, we survivors can’t go to other areas."
"It looks like I can contact the survivors of this district and ask if there’s any hidden native experts or forces."
"And then secretly probe their strength."
He didn’t associate the existence that disrupted their plans with the survivors.
In his view, the survivors were too weak at the mont.
Sending any Black Robed Priest could easily annihilate them.
Such weak beings couldn’t possibly kill the Red Robed Priest of the Light Church and destroy a trace of the divine power of the Nightmare God, Dem.
...
...
At this mont, Cao Xing had already walked out of the basent.
He glanced at the countdown above his head.
[Ti until nightfall: 7 minutes and 32 seconds...]
[Current temperature: 7℃]
...
Since waking up from the Sewing Shop, Cao Xing had been constantly arranging work.
In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
The subjects who had gone out to work all gradually returned to the territory.
And he himself began to think about the next plan.
Apparently, the power of the Light Church was unexpectedly vast.
The most crucial part was that the Light Seed was a survivor from Blue Star.
We just didn’t know which district or which country this guy was from.
Cao Xing pondered, "However, what can be confird is that this guy shouldn’t be from our District 17."
"Such a strong presence, if in our District 17, couldn’t possibly remain unknown and would at least reveal so strength."
"As it stands, my situation is still safe, but I need to act more discreetly."
Thinking of this, Cao Xing had already decided on the developnt plan for the future in his mind.
At this ti, he heard the buzzing sound of electric currents next to his ear.
"Lord, I am Kanter!"
"I am Kandar!"
The loud voices of two centaurs were heard.
Cao Xing responded, "Why haven’t you two returned, did you encounter sothing in that mineral cave?"
Kandar quickly replied, "Lord, we haven’t encountered anything at the mont."
"Ever since we arrived at this cave, we’ve been investigating inside."
"But so far, we only felt a chilling aura constantly entering our bodies, yet we haven’t seen any monsters."
"Kanter said if it’s a Resentful Spirit-type creature, it might not co out during the day."
"So we decided to stay here overnight to see if any monsters or ghosts would appear!"
After hearing their explanation, Cao Xing nodded.
Truth be told, the two centaurs’ strategy was correct.
They seed simple-minded, but they weren’t stupid at all; at least, they were quite experienced in dealing with all kinds of monsters.
"Okay, be careful at night, and contact imdiately should anything happen."
It was only a few kiloters to the haunted mineral cave from here.
At Cao Xing’s speed, they could get there quickly.
The two centaurs agreed swiftly.
After finishing these tasks, Cao Xing took Liu Muxue to the cafeteria to enjoy a lavish dinner.
After dinner, it was almost seven o’clock in the evening.
Cao Xing took Liu Muxue back to his [Lord Mansion] to rest.
After taking a warm hot bath, he slipped into the bed.
Then, he spent over an hour soothing the beautiful woman beside him.
Liu Muxue fell into a deep sleep.
Cao Xing still felt energetic.
It was just past nine in the evening.
It was too early for him to fall asleep, and for a mont, he felt a bit bored.
Although there were no phones to play with in this world, they had discussion forums!
Therefore, Cao Xing opened the chat channel to see the recent situation of the survivors.
Liang Yuansheng: "Brothers, have any other natives co to your territory today to make contact?"
Xing Deyang: "Yes, today a group of soldiers ca near my territory, saying my territory was under Baron Banaby’s domain. Either leave here or pay taxes regularly, or they’ll send troops to drive us away."
Qu Qifeng: "Damn! Sa here, these bastards are demanding we pay 30,000 units of food and 5,000 units of iron every month!"
Ding Bo: "Such a rip-off! Our territory’s food supply had just started to build up, and they directly demanded 30,000 units! These guys are nothing but a bunch of bandits. I really want to beat these freaking nobles!"
Du Ping: "Hah, I didn’t run into their soldiers today, but I did et a group of wanderers. They seed to co from another kingdom with nowhere to go, so I took them in. The population of my territory suddenly surged!"
...
After listening, Cao Xing was thoughtful.
Just as the system had ntioned last ti, the natives of this world would gradually notice the survivors’ territories.
Currently, many territories had been approached by those natives.
It’s manageable if it’s just ordinary natives, but it gets tricky with barons or noble forces.
Cao Xing also contemplated.
How should he handle it if the sa situation arose in his territory?
Would he follow procedures or pay to avoid trouble?
His strength had grown considerably, but Cao Xing knew he wasn’t yet at the level to confront the nobility.
