Chapter 2033: Chapter 679: Looting the Mole Man Granary and Forging Fang Short Spears

At this moment, they were hiding under a large boulder, avoiding the snowstorm.

Behind them, there was a pitch-black entrance to a cave.

"Lord, you’ve arrived."

Yilena quickly stepped forward, her face adorned with a bright smile.

Cao Xing nodded slightly and then looked over at Green Snake Lanna beside him.

This somewhat irritable woman stood aside with her arms crossed, looking indifferent.

Since Cao Xing lifted that curse from her last time, she had become much more mellow.

But she still spoke very little and rarely interacted or communicated with anyone outside her sister.

She wouldn’t even take the initiative to greet Cao Xing.

Cao Xing wasn’t bothered by this; he knew the Green Snake’s personality was just like that.

Moreover, as long as she obeyed orders, that was enough.

He turned to the White Snake and said, "Yilena, take me inside."

"Okay, Lord."

After saying this, Yilena twisted her body and led the way into the cave behind her.

Cao Xing followed closely, with Lanna at the rear.

The three of them walked through a dark and narrow passage and soon reached the interior of the cave.

The space here became much more spacious, with some energy torches inserted into the walls, providing some light for the entire cave.

On the ground, there were some scattered boxes containing arrows and a few inferior gunpowder.

In addition to this, there were corpses of Mole Men sprawled across, frozen solid with a thin layer of frost covering them.

Cao Xing didn’t spare these Mole Men’s bodies either.

He squatted down and packed them into the Necrotic Spirit Bag one by one.

Of course, don’t get it wrong, these bodies weren’t to be used as food.

For Cao Xing’s territory, they were another kind of resource.

After all, Hilda’s Blood Spider and Blood Altar needed numerous bodies as materials.

After finishing this, he also gathered all the scattered arrows, gunpowder, and weapons into his backpack.

He didn’t even waste the torches on the walls.

[Obtained: Fine Arrow (Green) *1439]

[Obtained: Coarse Gunpowder (White) *3214]

[Obtained: Mole Man Standard Scimitar (Green) *152]

[Obtained...]

...

As a series of system prompts sounded,

he had swept all the things clean, leaving the ground bare.

The expressions on the Snake-man Tribe sisters varied as they watched Cao Xing’s actions.

Cao Xing turned and said, "Yilena, Lanna, come and help too."

"Go to the platform above and collect those weapons and Wood."

"Okay, Lord." Yilena immediately began to act.

Lanna in the back said in a cool tone, "You sure don’t waste a thing."

Cao Xing casually replied, "Of course, how do you think I maintained such a large territory?"

"It’s just a bit of thriftiness that’s accumulated to this degree."

Yilena walked and spoke with admiration, "Yes, yes, the Lord is amazing!"

"At first, we only had a small camp, and the whole territory had little resources."

"Under the Lord’s leadership, we’ve developed to this scale!"

"There’s no one more incredible than the Lord in the whole world."

Looking at her sister’s adoring expression, Lanna slowly shook her head and sighed.

She said no more and silently gathered the scattered Wood and ores in the cave.

It took about five minutes for them to clear out all the resources from this mine outside.

Cao Xing clapped his hands and said satisfactorily, "Let’s go, lead me inside."

The three figures continued to venture deeper into the cave.

As they went further, a fragrance of food began to fill the air.

It seemed there was quite a bit of food stored inside.

This made Cao Xing even more eager, quickening his pace a bit.

When they turned the last corner, the scene in front of him instantly brightened his eyes!

There appeared a massive heap of piled grain bags in front of him.

At a rough estimate, there were at least a few thousand bags.

"Goodness! There’s so much food!"

Excitement appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes as well.

Then, he waved his hand and directly stored this batch of food into his backpack.

[Obtained: Dried Corn Kernels *172 bags]

[Obtained: Rice *214 bags]

[Obtained: wheat *123 bags]

[Obtained...]

...

In the blink of an eye, the food in this cave was completely swept away.

Cao Xing tallied it up and found that this batch of food weighed a total of ninety-eight thousand kilograms, far exceeding his expectations.

"Great, it’ll keep the territory going for another week."

He turned to look at the Snake-man Tribe sisters and commended them.

"Well done, Yilena."

"And Lanna, you performed well too."

Yilena bowed slightly, "It’s my honor to alleviate the Lord’s worries."

Beside her, the Green Snake remained noncommittal.

Cao Xing clapped his hands and continued to search around the cave.

After confirming there were no oversights, he said directly.

"Let’s go, we’ll head out first."

...

Two minutes later, the three arrived outside the cave entrance.

The snowstorm was still raging, but Cao Xing felt much more at ease.

He looked at the dim sky and said, "This batch of food should be enough; let’s return to the territory first."

"Okay, Lord," Yilena responded softly.

Then, a pair of Wind Wings simultaneously appeared behind the three of them,

carrying them up into the air.
