Chapter 234: Failed Experiment, Castle Riot (5000)
A large number of soldiers awoke from the castle.
Everyone frowned and hastily prepared for battle.
However, after waiting for a moment, no soldiers charged at them.
Cao Xing thought to himself, "It seems that our battle has disturbed other soldiers in the castle, waking them up."
"But since they haven't rushed over, they must be confirming something."
Cao Xing didn't panic, saying instead, "Guard the first-floor entrance."
Hearing the order, everyone stood ready with determination.
Cao Xing, meanwhile, entered the first floor and picked up all the items dropped by the soldiers.
[Acquired: Soul Orb of the Chaotic Soldier Captain (Blue) *2]
[Acquired: Tamarra Captain Seal (Blue) *1]
[Acquired: Chaotic Soldier Soul Orb (Green) *19]
[Acquired: Tamaran Soldier Seal (Green) *24]
[Acquired: Imperial Long-Handled Axe (Blue) *1]
[Acquired: Intermediate Power Heart *4]
[Acquired: Standard Tamura Weapon (Green) *34]
...
"Not bad, not bad, four more Intermediate Power Hearts."
"Plus two blue-grade Soul Orbs and nineteen green-grade Soul Orbs, the drop rate is really high!"
Cao Xing glanced over and found that the two blue Soul Orbs enhanced attributes of Power and Agility, Constitution and Spirit, respectively.
"Alright, one of them is something I can use myself."
With that thought, he continued searching the first floor with Liu Muxue.
But this time, they weren't as lucky as last time; no treasure box was found on the first floor.
Lacking interest, Cao Xing moved to the second floor.
As usual, he searched the soldiers' resting area thoroughly.
This time, he indeed found some good stuff.
Under a soldier's pillow, Cao Xing found a bottle of purple potion, faintly glowing.
It looked quite extraordinary.
He immediately stored all these items.
[Acquired: Stanmore's Elixir (Purple) *1]
[Acquired: Tamura Barley Wine *8]
[Acquired: Life Secret Medicine (Small) *5]
[Acquired: Coins *1134]
[Acquired: A Letter to the Shop Owner *1]
...
"Oh? It's a purple potion?"
Cao Xing showed a surprised expression, then checked the potion's attributes.
[Stanmore's Elixir (Purple)]
[Potion Effect: Restores 4000 Life Value immediately upon consumption, and restores 100 Life Value per second in the next 60 seconds, Cooling Time: 120 seconds]
(Description: A powerful spiritual medicine. Its formula is now extinct in the world following the downfall of the Tamarra Kingdom.)
...
"Wow, it restores 4000 Life Value at once, and in the next 60 seconds, it restores 100 Life Value per second, totaling ten thousand Life Value!"
"The most important thing is that this continuous special effect is likely strengthened by the 'Eternal Power'!"
Just as the System stated, it was a potent spiritual medicine.
Cao Xing even thought of drinking it immediately to boost his recovery abilities.
However, since the formula for this spiritual medicine had disappeared, perhaps this was the last bottle he had in hand.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing refrained from drinking it himself.
"Forget it, better save it for now."
"Maybe I'll have a chance to replicate this spiritual medicine in the future."
After all, in this miraculous world, anything was possible.
As for the other item: [A Letter to the Shop Owner].
Cao Xing glanced at it; it contained just trivial daily matters, no critical information.
Then he and Liu Muxue moved to the third floor.
Both had anticipatory glances in their eyes.
"Hopefully, as I think, every tower has several Destroyer Crossbow Arrows!"
As they stepped into the third floor, the scene before them brought smiles to their faces.
As anticipated, there were indeed several [Destroyer Crossbow Arrows] by the tower's window.
Next to them were large boxes filled with arrows specifically for the Destroyer Crossbow Arrows.
"Haha, there really are!"
Cao Xing didn't hesitate to store all these items into his backpack.
The System Prompt appeared.
[Acquired: Destroyer Crossbow Arrow (Purple) *4]
[Acquired: Fine Iron Arrows (Blue) *400]
...
Cao Xing exclaimed with delight, "Excellent. These towers must be the castle's defense works, with soldiers and crossbows on each tower."
"Before they fully notice us, I'll try to loot as many towers as possible!"
Of course, if discovered, Cao Xing wouldn't flee.
At worst, he would engage in direct combat.
This castle, Mr. Cao was determined to scour through!
After clearing out the loots from the tower,
Cao Xing hurried downstairs, saying, "Da Bai, Wally, you two have large bodies, stay on standby here."
"Everyone else, follow me to search other areas."
The two pets obediently remained in place.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing led the group to the next tower immediately.
Bang!
The tower door was burst open.
As before, the castle soldiers sensed their approach as they got within range.
Roaring sounds echoed, and the group engaged in battle with the enraged Fusion Soldiers.
After three consecutive waves of battles, the group achieved overwhelming victories!
There was no need for him to command.
Afterward, Cao Xing leisurely collected the spoils on the ground and all the crossbows from upstairs into his backpack.
Checking the gains from his three waves of battles.
