Chapter 606 Digesting the Rewards: The Blood Spider Queen Is acting strangely.
Yao Yiming said, "Commander Cao Xing has just given us a new mission. Now we need to unite everyone here and form a formation based on your professions and areas of expertise."
"Then, we will conduct simple coordination training."
Upon hearing this, the hundreds of thousands of survivors looked at each other in bewilderment.
Prior to this, most survivor lords operated in small teams, and they were already quite familiar with the combat skills and team compositions of their members.
There has never been a large-scale, coordinated battle involving so many people before.
I had a vague worry in my heart: what if something went wrong?
Yao Yiming was aware of their concerns and reassured them, "Don't worry, it's just a simple division based on melee, ranged, and support roles. It's not too complicated."
"This is also to ensure that each individual can exert their strength in the event of a large-scale battle, so as not to fall apart."
Hearing this, the other survivors also breathed a sigh of relief.
A few seconds later, Yao Yiming continued, "Now, all tank-type classes, converge on the area at coordinate ****."
The survivors and combatants are still searching for the coordinates Yao Yiming mentioned.
Beside him, Tian Jing suddenly opened his mouth wide, and a ball of eerie green flame landed on a vacant lot not far away.
Once the destination was identified, the crowd began to move.
A large number of classes such as Aurora Knights, Arctic Shield Guards, and Shield Maids gathered together.
After all the tank classes were adjusted, Yao Yiming continued, "All melee classes, gather at coordinates ****."
"All remote routes, proceed to ****"
"All support classes, proceed to..."
As Tian Jing continued to spew flames, he guided them in the right direction.
It took the survivors about ten minutes to gather together.
These 60 people were divided into four groups.
Among them, support professions are the fewest, with only a little over 40,000 people.
Secondly, there are the meat shields, numbering around 60,000.
Ranged and melee combat each account for about half, at around 25 each.
Yao Yiming continued, "Now, all tank classes should stand at the front."
"20 melee fighters followed behind, while all the support and ranged fighters walked in the middle of the team."
"Then send out 50,000 melee fighters to follow at the very back of the group."
As soon as he finished speaking, the army of hundreds of thousands of survivors sprang into action once again.
Because it was the first time they had worked together, it took these hundreds of thousands of people a full twenty minutes to get into order.
During this period, various unexpected events also occurred.
Such as poor coordination and friction between personnel.
Yao Yiming, Ji Xinyue, and others patiently directed the operation from the sidelines.
Tian Jing was also there to assist him.
Through their joint efforts, this army of 600,000 survivors finally took shape.
The three looked at the scene before them with satisfaction. Compared to their previous scattered formation, they now had the air of a regular army.
However, they did not rush to take action.
Yao Yiming said, "I know everyone is tired from traveling during the day, but we still need to work hard tonight."
"Next, we'll spend two hours practicing the legion's coordination."
The temperature was extremely low at night, and the wind was biting cold.
In addition, Yao Yiming's territory furnace heating range cannot cover a very large area.
So for them to stay outside is itself an extremely demanding test of willpower.
Hearing that they would have to spend two hours training in the cold wind made the survivors feel somewhat uneasy.
Yao Yiming saw through their thoughts and said in a serious tone, "I think everyone should know what we're going to do next."
"Commander Cao Xing will lead us to fight the Blood Legion, but those monsters are very powerful and very crazy."
“When facing us, the enemy’s blade will not hesitate for a moment.”
"To ensure that more people survive, everyone must go all out to improve their combat capabilities and team coordination."
"The arduous training we are undergoing now is to increase our chances of survival on the battlefield."
"If you feel it's unnecessary, you can withdraw now."
His tone left no room for argument.
The army of hundreds of thousands of survivors gradually fell silent.
They understood that Yao Yiming was right.
When facing an enemy like the Blood Legion, any lapse in vigilance could cost you your life.
After waiting for two minutes, no one had quit.
Yao Yiming continued, "Very good, it seems everyone is well prepared."
"Then let's begin training!"
He then began some simple instruction training.
The survivors were quite cooperative, and despite the biting cold, they persevered.
Soon, they will be able to execute simple coordinated combat commands.
For example, all healing classes can concentrate their healing output, shield guards can be in the healing team, and various ranged units can focus their fire on powerful enemies at the same time.
The team's overall coordination has improved significantly compared to two hours ago.
Two hours later, Yao Yiming stood on a high place, his gaze sweeping over the entire army, and announced loudly.
"Now, the army marches forth!"
"Crash!"
The army of over 700,000 men marched like a giant dragon toward the Brisbane countryside.
Their steps were perfectly synchronized, their momentum was overwhelming, as if even the cold wind was driven away by their fighting spirit.
Most of the survivors on the field were participating in such an operation for the first time. Besides feeling apprehensive and uneasy, they were also filled with excitement and enthusiasm!
They can't wait to make a big splash!
As the army marched on, several thousand more surviving lords arrived with their troops.
These newly recruited soldiers quickly integrated into the army, injecting more strength into the force.
As night fell, the figures of the 800,000-strong army disappeared at the edge of the snowfield, leaving only the resolute sound of their footsteps echoing in the cold wind...
...
...
at the same time.
All the warriors in Cao Xing's territory have returned to their territory.
As the lord, Cao Xing gave his usual speech and praised the warriors for their bravery.
Then, the thousands of soldiers, filled with excitement, returned to the mess hall for their meals.
Some core combat personnel remained in place.
This includes Hilda, the Dragon Speaker, and Assam, among others.
The Blood Spider Queen gracefully raised her right hand, as blood spiders crawled across the back of her hand, displaying both eeriness and power.
The Dragon Speaker was like a sharp sword radiating coldness, exuding astonishing killing intent and chill!
Assam, standing beside him, had a dignified expression, like a general who had returned from a hundred battles.
After a day of battle, they slew countless powerful enemies, and each of them seemed to exude an invincible and powerful aura.
It should be noted that Cao Xing's own combat personnel alone wiped out two to three million soldiers.
So many monsters contributed a lot of experience points to them.
The levels of Hilda, Andrew, Renis, and Da Bai, who have just broken through, are all skyrocketing!
In particular, Andrew and Hilda, these two heroes, can share the experience of others because they have the status skills [Life Blossom] and [Queen's Will].
So in just one day, their level skyrocketed from 70 to 94!
You can imagine what it means to level up 24 levels in one day.
The others also leveled up four or five times.
Assam and Frostwolf have all reached level 90 or above, becoming Tier 10 creatures.
Legendary Isabel's level has also soared to 107.
Besides leveling up, the fact that they killed so many monsters naturally meant that Cao Xing had gained a huge amount of battle merits.
With a hint of anticipation, I glanced at my battle merits.
[Battle Achievements: 1874.45]
...
"Great, great, we're almost at 20 million!"
"These battle merits can be exchanged for another relic box."
"With the two legendary hearts I still have, there might be hope for the emergence of another legend!"
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the crowd on the field.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you all did a great job today, and I am proud of you."
"Now you can all go back and rest."
“Hilda, you stay here.”
Upon hearing this, the core combat personnel exchanged glances.
Assam said, "My lord, after we wiped out those Blood Legions today, some things fell to the ground."
“We have collected all these items; please take a look.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he handed over a small backpack.
After Cao Xing took it, he moved the contents inside over.
[Received: Blood Crystal (Gold) *114]
[Obtained: Blood of the Strong *7]
...
"Oh? It's this kind of material?"
After Cao Xing killed that commander, a few of them also dropped.
I know that this blood crystal is a material used to build blood-themed structures.
As for the blood of the strong later on, that was an unexpected gain.
"Very good, everyone, give me your materials." Upon hearing this, everyone handed over their items.
After Cao Xing took them all, he did a count.
Today's total gains:
[Blood Crystal*342]
[Blood of the Strong*28]
……
"That's right, more than three hundred blood crystals are equivalent to more than three million battle merits."
"And the other 20-odd drops of blood from powerful individuals can significantly boost the attack power of the nine people."
Defeating the Blood Legion will not drop equipment, souls, or other items.
However, it does grant battle merits, and there's a small chance of obtaining Blood Crystals and Blood of the Strong, which is still pretty good.
So, Cao Xing waved his hand.
The blood of the strong was distributed to Andrew, Renis, Big White, Wally, and others...
King Velen and Sarah, who were in the necromancy bag, were also released by Cao Xing.
After absorbing everything, the group of powerful individuals dispersed.
Soon, only Cao Xing and Xierda remained.
The Blood Spider Queen crossed her arms, gently lifting her exaggeratedly large breasts.
All eight eyes on its head turned to Cao Xing, and it asked in a slightly lazy tone, "Is there something you need?"
"Of course something's wrong."
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Let's go, come with me to the basement."
After saying that, he walked directly towards the basement area.
The Blood Spider Queen understood his meaning and followed behind Cao Xing with her long, slender legs.
The two of them, one in front of the other, quickly entered the basement.
The room was completely dark, and the atmosphere in the basement was somewhat chilly, with a faint smell of decay in the air.
When Cao Xing lit the torch, a strange and eerie scene unfolded before his eyes.
There were more than a dozen corpses lying haphazardly on the ground.
Most of them were human, and in the extreme cold of this world, their faces were as pale as paper, their expressions frozen in their last moments before death, making them look particularly ferocious.
Even in death, these corpses still exuded a chilling aura of oppression.
After all, there are ten hero-level and two legendary-level corpses here.
For necromancers or other professions that rely on corpses for power, this is an astonishing fortune.
"Hilda, do it. Hatch all these corpses." Cao Xing's voice rang out.
Upon hearing the command, the Blood Spider Queen stuck out her scarlet tongue, licked her lips, and a glint of excitement flashed in her eyes.
"So many corpses of powerful figures, not bad."
"Looks like I'll be able to hatch some more commander-level blood spiders today~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hilda stretched out her right hand and casually waved it, sprinkling drops of royal blood onto the corpses of the ten hero-level powerhouses.
Now that she has reached level 94, she can fully hatch all of these hero-level corpses.
Only the two legendary corpses will have to wait a while longer.
This also raised a new question in Cao Xing's mind.
"If we wait until Hilda breaks through to the Legendary level before hatching these Legendary-level corpses, will they directly hatch Legendary-level Blood Spiders?"
"If that were possible, it would be too extravagant!"
Even Hildag herself didn't know the answer to this question.
Because in her previous life, she only reached level 70 at most, and never even touched the legendary realm.
Cao Xing shook his head, thinking to himself, "I can only wait and see how it goes in practice later."
Just as Cao Xing was pondering these things, the incubation process of Xierda was gradually coming to an end.
The abdomens of the ten corpses on the ground began to swell rapidly, swelling to the size of a ball in the blink of an eye.
"Kiss~ Kiss~"
With a series of explosions, blood spiders of varying sizes, their bodies radiating an eerie red glow, emerged from the corpses.
They turned their heads and began to devour the corpse rapidly, growing larger and larger in the process!
Before long, ten blood spiders, each exuding a dangerous aura, suddenly appeared in front of the two of them!
They were covered in scarlet patterns, and their eight eyes gleamed with a cold light, as if they were ready to tear everything apart at any moment.
Hildag looked at the blood spiders in front of her with satisfaction, a sinister smile playing on her lips.
"The quality of this batch of hatched blood spiders is quite good."
Upon hearing this, Cao Xing quickly glanced at it as well.
Mutant Blood Spider
[Level: 80 (Tier 9 Creature)]
[Potential: Mutant Commander]
...
Giant Blood Spider
[Level: 90 (Tier 10 Creature)]
[Potential: Commander]
...
Bloodthirsty Spider
[Level: 80 (Tier 8 Creature)]
[Potential: Mutant Commander]
...
Just as Hilda had said, the quality of this batch of blood spiders was terrifying.
They are at least Tier 8 leader-level creatures!
In other words, Cao Xing suddenly possessed the combat power of ten heroes.
The only drawback is that these blood spiders are already at a fixed level and cannot be upgraded further.
Cao Xing said with satisfaction, "Well done, Xierda."
He paused, then continued, "Once I find your relics, I'll find a way to help you break through to the legendary level."
"Then, we can look for clues about the Spider Queen's scepter."
Upon hearing the last two sentences, the Blood Spider Queen's compound eyes shifted, and a hint of desire flashed in her eyes.
A bewitching smile played on Hilda's lips, her voice low and seductive: "I didn't expect you to care so much about this queen."
"Then today, I, the Queen, will make an exception and give you some rewards~"
"Hmm?" Cao Xing's eyes were filled with doubt, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
At that moment, Hilda casually waved her hand.
The blood spiders slithered away and disappeared into the shadows, taking the other two legendary-level corpses with them.
The entire basement instantly became empty, leaving only Cao Xing and Xierda.
"Tap tap... tap tap..."
She took eight long steps and slowly approached Cao Xing.
His eyes held an indescribable look, as if he were eyeing his prey, which made Cao Xing feel a little uneasy.
"What do you want to do? I am your lord."
Cao Xing subconsciously took a few steps back.
The Blood Spider Queen lightly touched her lips and let out a low laugh: "Hehehe... What are you afraid of, Lord?"
"I will not eat you."
Cao Xing's lips twitched: "I'm just afraid you'll eat me!"
He stepped back again.
At that moment, Hildag waved her hands again.
"Wow~!"
Blood-red spider silk surged out like a tide, instantly blocking his back and sealing off the basement passage.
Hilda's smile grew even more alluring, her voice tinged with a hint of mockery: "My lord... now you have nowhere to run, don't you?"
Cao Xing's heart tightened, and before he could react, a spider silk quickly wrapped around his waist.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful force came, and Cao Xing involuntarily moved closer to Xierda!
With a 'thud', Cao Xing crashed into Xierda's chest.
A pair of soft cushions blocked his view.
Then, Cao Xing met Xierda's dreamy gaze and moist lips.
Although he still felt somewhat uneasy, Cao Xing considered his own strength and quickly made a decision.
"I'm a tenth-tier dragon mage, what am I afraid of!"
Before she could react, Cao Xing kissed her on the spot.
The moment their lips touched, all of Hildag's eyes widened instantly.
"Well……"
When she sensed the intrusion into her mouth, her gaze became unfocused again.
Meanwhile, the cold and aloof Blood Spider Queen became even more passionate after adjusting to the situation.
A red mist emanated from her, making the entire basement environment appear hazy and dreamlike.
The faint glow of the magic torches pierced through the layers of mist, illuminating Hilda's face with an eerie and beautiful light.
A few minutes later, their lips parted.
Hildana touched the corner of her mouth, and a smile gradually appeared.
"So... this is what male masculinity smells like?"
"It seems pretty good."
Cao Xing took a deep breath and calmed his emotions.
“Hilda, that’s enough for today.”
However, upon hearing this, the Blood Spider Queen's beautiful yet eerie face quickly drew closer once again.
