Meanwhile, Cao Xing pondered whether his backlash could be countered by the [Eternal Power].
"Lu'en, use your Dragon Blood Extraction skill."
After receiving Cao Xing's order, the strong Nuon before him didn't hesitate in the slightest.
A faint dragon roar arose, indicating that the Ice Dragon Blood within him had been activated!
After the familiar prompt sound of [Eternal Power],
a strong sense of shock appeared in Lu'en's eyes!
"So this is the power the Dragon Blood Warriors spoke of, the Lord's might?"
"Incredible, I can actually maintain the activity of the Ice Dragon Blood within me without suffering a backlash!"
"This way, I can indefinitely harness the power of the Ice Dragon Blood!"
After Lu'en finished speaking, over twenty Dragon Blood Warriors on the field had eyes filled with astonishment!
As members of the Nuon Clan, they naturally understood what this implied!
This meant they could shake off the torment of Dragon Blood backlash, greatly enhancing their strength.
Cao Xing laughed and asked, "Lu'en, do you think using the [Dragon Blood Sky Spinning Stab] in this state would still have serious side effects?"
Lu'en thought for a moment, then replied, "Lord, it should still have some, but they've been minimized."
"As I estimate, I previously had to endure weakness for a full two minutes, but now, it might only take two or three seconds to recover."
Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes immediately brightened.
Two or three seconds practically rendered it negligible.
After all, this skill also provided a few seconds of dizziness control.
At this moment, Cao Xing remembered something and took a small wooden bottle from his backpack.
The bottle emanated an evil aura.
The tall Nuon leader asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Cao Xing responded, "A type of blood. Earlier, I asked Jonard, and he said that within the Nuon Clan, those with stronger bloodline power could merge a second type of blood."
"Do you think you can do it?"
The Nuon leader pondered before slowly shaking his head, saying, "I've never tried merging a second bloodline, but merging the Ice Dragon Blood back then already pushed me to the limit, nearly killing me."
"Perhaps only a more powerful Nuon can merge it, sorry, Lord!"
Cao Xing nodded in understanding.
A more powerful Nuon?
Commander Level, perhaps?
But it was alright; this time, being first on the leaderboard granted a Commander Level recruitment scroll.
"No worries, Lu'en, your Nuon Clan are resilient warriors."
"Now, I'll grant you all, along with Jonard, Jonsent, and others, the same blessing."
Meanwhile, Cao Xing had already summoned Franciska, Blot, Yilena, Hilda, Andrew, and Tong Chuchu over.
Then, a series of blessings were bestowed.
The Dragon Blood Warriors on the scene and the Nightmare Archers all felt their power surge!
This was a comprehensive transformation!
If their combat power was 1 before the blessing, it would shoot up to at least 3 afterwards!
A full twofold increase!
They stared in shock at their bodies, feeling the abundant Life Force and Power within.
The next moment, the robust leader of the Dragon Blood Warriors was the first to kneel.
"Great Lord, please lead our Nuon Clan to relive the glory of the warrior race!"
The other Dragon Blood Warriors followed, "Please lead our Nuon Clan to relive the glory of the warrior race!"
Even those Nightmare Archers followed suit in kneeling!
A slew of system prompts appeared.
[Due to granting Lu'en great war power, Loyalty has surged. Current Loyalty: 78]
[Due to granting Lubite great war power, Loyalty has increased. Current Loyalty: 75]
On the field, both the Nuons and the Nightmare Archers experienced a significant surge in Loyalty!
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.
Then he said, "Alright, now, go familiarize yourselves with the territory's environment and adapt to the power within you with the help of your fellow clansmen."
All the Dragon Blood Warriors and Nightmare Archers stood and left their positions.
Moments later, only Cao Xing and Liu Muxue remained.
A faint smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.
This time, over fifty combat units had been summoned, dramatically increasing their strength.
Most importantly, there was a Leader Level Nuon among them.
However, the increased numbers presented a new problem.
The ratio of combat personnel to workers in the territory had become severely imbalanced.
Now, the number of combat personnel approached 300, while the workers were less than 100.
This was not only Cao Xing's issue but also one faced by all Survivors Lord.
"Looks like I need to find a way to bring back some workers."
"I wonder how Yaskin's village explorations are progressing, and if he managed to buy any villagers."
Just as Cao Xing pondered this, the sound of hooves arose in front of him.
"Clip-clop, clip-clop!"
Moments later, the excited voices of two centaurs reached them!
Cao Xing's eyes immediately brightened.
Yesterday, these two centaurs went exploring the mineshaft, stayed there the entire night, and have finally returned!
"Kanter, Kandar, how's the situation with the haunted mineshaft?"
The two centaurs thumped their chests, saying, "Don't worry, Lord. The resentful spirits within have been easily dealt with by Kandar and me!"
