Chapter 232: Open the Portal, Witch Castle (6000)
"Wow... so strong?"
After checking out the attributes of the handgun, Cao Xing was visibly shocked.
Every special effect was incredibly terrifying, combined with its attack power of over 900, it was much stronger than Barrett.
The most crucial aspect was its short attack speed.
Cao Xing even considered keeping it for himself!
However, this handgun, as powerful as it was, also had a significant consumption.
A few shots would consume one Primary Magic Crystal.
Cao Xing glanced at his backpack.
[Primary Magic Crystal*832]
[Intermediate Magic Crystal*261]
[Advanced Magic Crystal*31]
...
He had quite a lot of Primary and Intermediate Magic Crystals.
Altogether, there were over a thousand pieces.
It should be more than enough for him to splurge.
However, Cao Xing decided to give the handgun to Tong Chuchu.
After all, the mechanic had the Basic Level Firearms Mastery skill, which could increase hit rate and attack power.
Combined with the Mechanical Energy Saving skill, the consumption of magic power would also be reduced.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing had already decided on the distribution of these two pieces of equipment.
Then, he checked the time.
It was already four in the afternoon.
"It's about time to set off."
"It'll take some time to reach the Witch Forest, and we'll arrive at the depths just as night falls."
So, Cao Xing called out again.
"Combat personnel, assemble!"
Instantly, over two hundred combat personnel gathered around in a flurry.
Hearing Cao Xing call them, everyone knew there was a mission tonight.
Hopeful expressions filled their eyes, wishing their Lord would take them along.
It was not only an honor but also a recognition of their strength.
Then, Cao Xing began roll call.
"Assam, Andrew, Jonard..."
As Cao Xing called out the names of over a dozen individuals,
the personnel configuration remained the same as last time, including several Nightmare Archers, whom Cao Xing decided to bring along.
After all, they had a talent for sealing enemy skills, which was rather useful.
At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly slapped his forehead, as if he just remembered something.
"Oh, I forgot I still have over 20 archer recruitment scrolls in my backpack!"
"Never mind; I'll summon them when we return."
He shook his head.
Everyone was ready to set off!
Besides the personnel from last time, Cao Xing brought along the centaurs Kanter and Kandar.
He had a premonition that the enemies faced in the Witch Castle this time might be very powerful.
After all, the fairy tales told by the Old Witch alone confirmed at least three terrifying monsters inside.
Combined with a mysterious witch...
Therefore, while ensuring the territory's safety, Cao Xing tried to take as much fighting strength with him as possible.
The two centaurs were thrilled when they heard Cao Xing was taking them out and waved their blunt weapons joyfully.
"Oh! The strong Lord finally is taking us out to battle, wonderful!"
"Haha, Kandar, we must do our best!"
"That's right! We must show our strong centaur figures to the Lord!"
Seeing their joy, those combat personnel left in the territory watched enviously.
Even Yilena glanced at Cao Xing with some dissatisfaction.
Of course, she knew she needed to stay in the territory.
After all, there was still a hidden threat in the territory, the farmer's wife, Mbo.
If she suddenly erupted, Yilena's strength might not be enough to stop her.
However, there were still many strong fighters within the territory.
Those dragon-blood female warriors, along with Hiluviya and Aili, were also boss-level creatures now.
By then, if Mbo tried to escape and was discovered, many soldiers would rush out, and with their Ejection Hooks, they would be enough to control that commander-level existence.
So, Cao Xing wasn't too worried.
At this moment, apart from those who were named, other combat personnel dispersed.
Cao Xing handed the Evil Eyes Shield (Gold) to Blom.
He also gave the Super Pistol (Gold) to Tong Chuchu.
Blom replaced his blue giant shield with the new shield, about one and a half meters tall, emanating an evil aura, feeling extremely excited.
He didn't mind the appearance of the shield.
To him, equipment was for use; regardless of its appearance, strength was what mattered.
Blom excitedly said, "Ah, what a solid shield!"
"Blom feels full of power!"
Little Chuchu on the side held the tiny but lethal handgun, her little eyes sparkling with stars!
"Wow! Such a beautiful handgun!"
"Great, now I can blow out those monsters' eyes with a single shot!"
Cao Xing's mouth twitched.
Obviously, Tong Chuchu had been somewhat influenced by him after previous battles...
Such a little child could say things like that with such innocence.
Cao Xing secretly decided to have Xia Yanni educate Little Chuchu sometime.
But for now, having her grow stronger and gain the ability to survive in this world was more important.
Everything was ready.
So, Cao Xing directly said, "Everyone, move out!"
Da Bai swung his trunk once more and led everyone to charge outside the territory.
Compared to when they returned from the Witch Forest two days earlier,
Cao Xing's strength had increased significantly!
"Boom! Boom, boom!"
Da Bai and Wally, the two giant beasts, led the way at the front of the team.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, they quickly left the territory.
