Puff!

This axe strike carved a bloody gash into the smooth body of the Snow Poison Snake, skin and flesh splitting open instantly.

[-8]
A damage number floated up.

The Snow Poison Snake, in pain, bit down even harder.

However, in an infinite healing state, Dazhuang fought as if he was on stimulants.

He grabbed the Snow Poison Snake and started slashing and hacking chaotically.

Slash!

Slash!

Slash!

[-10]
[-9]
[-9]
…

The sound of flesh being hit repeatedly echoed.

After several bites, the Snow Poison Snake seemed to realize something was amiss.

Its life value was continuously decreasing, quickly dropping below 80.

Yet, this opponent, clearly weaker, was still lively and vigorous after all this!

The snake was bewildered.

It also realized that the enemy in front of it was in an unusual state.

Twisting its body, it turned around, trying to slip away.

Cao Xing had been watching the actions of the Snow Poison Snake from the back, and upon seeing this situation, he quickly said from behind, “Don't let it escape, Erzhuang, you join in too!”
“At your service, my Lord!”
Erzhuang obeyed the order, rushing up to tangle with the Snow Poison Snake.

With Erzhuang's joining, the life value of the Snow Poison Snake decreased even more quickly.

Slash!

Slash!

Slash!

Two stone axes continued slashing at the snake's body.

In no time, its life value dropped below 30.

Meanwhile, after a brief rest, Cao Xing also recovered a bit of spiritual power.

So, he raised his magic wand, and the nearby frost power gathered.

In a short while, a fist-sized ice ball formed at the tip of Cao Xing's magic wand.

“Go!”
Cao Xing flicked his wand.

The ice ball catapulted out instantly.

Ɲ0νǤᴑ.ᴄο

It landed on the Snow Poison Snake, and with a ‘pop,' it exploded!

[-21!]
An exaggerated damage number emerged from the Snow Poison Snake.

The enemy's life value hit zero, collapsing completely.

A system prompt appeared.

[Successfully killed Snow Poison Snake lv2, you gained 30 experience points.

[Combat personnel: Dazhuang gained 15 experience points, Erzhuang gained 15 experience points.]
[Congratulations!

You are the first creature in this area to kill a wild creature, earning a first-kill reward: Snake-man Tribe Priest Recruitment Scroll *1.]
…

Seeing the power of the [Ice Ball Skill], a shock appeared in the eyes of Dazhuang and Erzhuang.

“My Lord, your power is intimidating!”
“Our Lord is so powerful!”
Cao Xing glanced at them lightly.

These Polar People were always amazed by trivial things.

The profession of a Frost Mage was like this, with high damage also comes high consumption.

This one Ice Ball Skill directly drained the spiritual power he had barely recovered.

Meanwhile.

Cao Xing came to the corpse of the Snow Poison Snake, and a system prompt appeared before him.

[Snow Poison Snake corpse (can be decomposed)]
Cao Xing directly clicked decompose.

In an instant, the body of the Snow Poison Snake vanished.

Then, on the icy snow ground appeared a torn snake skin, more than a dozen segments of fresh red snake meat, and a purple poison bag.

[Torn snake skin (white) *1]
(Though torn, it can still be used to make simple leather clothes.)
[Fresh snake meat (green) *17]
(Fresh snake meat, 1 piece of snake meat = 5 food units)
[Poison bag (green) *1]
(A snake's poison bag, when smeared on a weapon, may have unexpected effects?)
…

Seeing the items on the ground, a look of surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

“Whoa!

So much snake meat, and a snake skin, this is a big haul!”
17 pieces of snake meat meant a total of 85 food units!

And the most crucial part was that apart from dry bread, they now had new food.

And it was fresh, delicious snake meat!

At this moment, Dazhuang and Erzhuang were staring intently at the fresh red snake meat on the ground, the sound of gulping saliva continuously heard.

“Meat…

it's meat!”
“Heavens!

How many years has it been since we've seen meat?”
“Erzhuang, pinch me, am I dreaming?”
Polar People were creatures living in the subterranean world for long periods, seldom able to eat fresh meat.

Cao Xing was unaware of their way of life, but from previous conversations with some Polar People, he could infer that their living environment was probably very harsh.

Erzhuang pulled Dazhuang's goatee and exclaimed, “Dazhuang, you're not dreaming, this is real meat!”
“Oh my god, if someone would let me taste delicious meat, I would give my life for them!”
Cao Xing knew that these Polar People were saying it for him to hear.

“Alright, you all speed up your work, tonight everyone gets to drink snake soup.”
Hearing this, Dazhuang and Erzhuang immediately sprang up from the ground, shouting loudly.

“Long live the Lord!”
“We'll get to work right away!”
Then, the two Polar People, wielding stone axes, enthusiastically went off to chop wood.

Watching their energetic demeanor, Cao Xing collected all the materials on the ground.

He looked at Liu Muxue, who was standing to the side, and said,
“Sister-in-law, did you remember?”
“When encountering enemies in the wild, you also need to fight like this to defeat them.”
Liu Muxue hugged a shield to her chest and nodded firmly, “Mm-hmm, I remember, Axing.”
Cao Xing nodded in acknowledgment, then led her back near the bonfire.

The moment they stepped into the fire's coverage, the coldness was significantly dispelled.

“Hiss!”
The two of them shivered instantly.

This time, they had been active outside for roughly seven minutes.

According to Cao Xing's estimation, their maximum current activity time was fifteen minutes.

If they could make cold-resistant clothing, their activity time could be greatly extended.

Cao Xing glanced at his territory's resources.

[Food *135, Wood *36, Stone *54]
“Still not enough materials to craft a Sewing Shop, it seems it won't be made today.”
“So, are there any other ways to resist the severe cold?”
Cao Xing turned his gaze to the Polar People nearby, clad in thick snow suits.

Clearly, the set of clothes these Polar People wore was very thick and had excellent cold-resisting features…

It's likely that most survivors at this point were considering using some forceful means to seize these Polar People's clothing.

But it's advised not to do so.

Because once you kill the first Polar Person, the goodwill of this race will immediately drop by 50%.

When you kill the second Polar Person, you will become directly hostile to this race.

Not only will you be unable to recruit Polar People to work for you, but any Polar People encountered on the road will also launch attacks on your camp.

Cao Xing mused internally, “Forget it, let's just hang on like this for today.”
“Probably by tomorrow, enough wood and stones will be gathered to build a Sewing Shop.”
At this moment, Cao Xing recalled the first-kill reward that the system just gave, which seemed to be a recruitment scroll.

After taking it out from his backpack, the scroll's attributes appeared before him.

[Snake-man Tribe Priest Recruitment Scroll: Can summon a level 5 Snake-man Tribe Priest to assist the Lord in battle.]
[Occupies 2 population.]
Seeing this system introduction, a look of joy instantly appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Goodness, it's actually a scroll that can summon a level 5 creature!

This reward is really nice!

However, the Snake-man Tribe, this race, was something Cao Xing had never encountered in the game before, so he didn't know what they were like.

Of course, it could also be because Cao Xing hadn't developed to the later stages, and hadn't explored the full range of that game.

The vastness of this world exceeded Cao Xing's imagination.

[Do you want to consume the scroll to summon the Snake-man Tribe Priest?]
“Yes.”
With the words spoken, a hexagram array emerged in front of Cao Xing out of thin air.

The next moment, the hexagram array emitted a dazzling light.

Liu Muxue, beside him, was also curiously watching Cao Xing's actions.

Meanwhile, they suddenly felt as if a strong, cold aura had descended.

Then, the cold wind blew.

A winding, white-bodied creature appeared.

The five-meter-long snake body was covered in scales, and the slender tail swung casually in the snow.

And atop this serpentine body, there was a human female head.

With elongated eyes and chiseled features, one glance exposed an air of enchantment.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, both stunned, gazed at this towering snake-woman.

“Wow…

what a massive snake…” Liu Muxue's small mouth hung slightly open.

Cao Xing, also seeing such a creature for the first time, found it beyond his expectations.

“So this is the Snake-man Tribe?

Truly living up to its name.”
At this moment, the snake-bodied human-headed creature locked eyes with Cao Xing using its ghostly green pupils.

It opened its dark purple lips and softly spoke.

“Esteemed Lord, Yilena, the Priest of the Snake-man Tribe, at your service.”
The attributes of this Snake-man appeared before Cao Xing.
