Chapter 105: Champion Fighter's Gratitude and Transaction
Qinon whispered, "If you want to catch the king salmon, you need the tongue of the snow demon..."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was suddenly shocked.

What the hell!

He just killed a snow demon last night and even separated its tongue!
Now this old man actually told me that I could use the snow demon’s tongue to catch legendary weapons!
One can imagine how shocked Cao Xing was at this moment.

But Cao Xing did not show it, but silently kept this information in mind.

Qinon added, "However, the snow demon's tongue is not 100% capable of catching king salmon. It is possible that it will catch some strange creatures."

"And the more powerful the snow demon's tongue is, the higher the chance of catching a king salmon."

Cao Xing nodded suddenly.

It seems that the snow demon tongue in his backpack is nothing special. There must have been strong people who tried it before, but they didn't catch any king salmon.

Therefore, he needs more snow demon tongues to increase the probability of success.

At this time, Liu Muxue on the side reminded: "Axing... Elisa..."

Hearing this name, Cao Xing suddenly remembered this.

What the hell, I came here to look for someone, why did I end up talking about fishing with this Qi Nong!

So Cao Xing asked again: "Sir Qinong, we are here to look for a little girl named Elisa. She hasn't returned for a few days, and her family is very worried."

"Excuse me, do you know any relevant clues?"

It may be because the other party has gone from being cold to being a stranger.

This time, Qinong nodded directly.

"Two days ago, I did see a little girl appear near Snowfall Lake."

"However, she didn't communicate with me much, and I'm not sure if she is the person you are looking for."

Hearing this, Cao Xing turned around and looked at Liu Muxue, and joy appeared in the eyes of both of them.

In this icy and snowy Luoxue Lake where few people go, basically not many humans come here.

This little girl is most likely Elisa!

Cao Xing asked, "Sir Qinong, did you see where she went?"

Chinon nodded and pointed to a grove of trees next to the lakeshore.

"The little girl finally entered that forest and never came out again."

Cao Xing nodded, and then said with a serious look, "Sir Qinong, I am a lord nearby, my name is Cao Xing, and I am very grateful for your information!"

Qinon also straightened up, clenched his right fist and replied: "Qinon Dutra, a retired old man, also thanks for your bait."

Cao Xing nodded and was about to take his people away.

Qinong then said, "Wait a minute, Lord Cao Xing, do you still have this kind of bait?"

Cao Xing nodded with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "Yes, there are, but not much."

Qinong thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, you give me the remaining bait, you go find the little girl, and I'll fish here."

"When you come back, the salmon you caught will be divided into four and six."

"I'll be four and you'll be six."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned.

After thinking about it, he seemed to be making a good deal.

So Cao Xing agreed directly: "Okay."

He gave the remaining six [Special Pet Rations] in his backpack to Qinong.

As for whether he would regret taking his things, Cao Xing was not that worried.

After all, for a strong man of Qinong's level, there is no need to ruin his character for such a small thing.

Moreover, the other party also told me a piece of information of inestimable value, so it would not be a loss even if I gave him all the pet food.

[Due to your gift: Chinon Dutra's favorability towards you has increased, and his attitude has changed to: Friendly.]

Cao Xing was delighted and his favorability increased again.

It is very good to establish a good relationship with such a powerful indigenous people.

Qinong resumed his fishing action.

Cao Xing also took his men to the woods he pointed to.

Boom!dong dong!

Dabai ran all the way with Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.

After moving at high speed for about several kilometers along the lake.

Finally we arrived at the outskirts of the woods.

Growing here is a group of unknown trees with lush branches and leaves, but they are covered with thick snow.

The snow on the ground is very thick, and there are traces of various animals walking around. We should be able to find clues about Elisa through these traces.

Cao Xing gave the order directly: "Search around here, and focus on finding human footprints."

The men obeyed the order and began to move around.

Only the aloof Xierda still followed Cao Xing, seeming to be disdainful of doing such a thing.

Cao Xing frowned.

He really had a headache about these recruited creatures that selectively obeyed orders.

Fortunately, Hilda was still willing to carry out other instructions.

This has to do with Hilda's current loyalty and her arrogant personality.

As the queen of a tribe, she has her own pride.

"Forget it. I'll find a way to remind her of her loyalty later."

Shaking his head, Cao Xing sat on the back of the mammoth and headed towards the woods.

Along the way, whenever they saw a bird's nest on a tree, they would let Dabai stretch out his nose and take out the bird eggs inside.

After a while, we harvested 17 eggs and 57 feathers.
Liu Muxue behind him couldn't help laughing. She was used to Cao Xing's style of taking advantage of others.

A few minutes later, the knight Assam came over and reported: "My lord, human footprints were found not far ahead, and they seem to lead deep into the woods." After hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up.

He shouted, "Come back!"

Hearing Cao Xing's voice, the men regrouped.

Then everyone came to the place where Assam found the footprints.

Following the footprints, they began to move deeper into the woods.

After winding along the woods for about two kilometers, Cao Xing suddenly discovered that there were more footprints nearby.

In addition to human footprints, there were also cow hoof prints.

Cao Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, "Could it be that this little girl really found the legendary cloud yak?"

According to the villager Danny, the cloud yak is an extremely rare creature and is incredibly valuable.

If Cao Xing can catch two cloud yaks this time, he will make a fortune!
With excitement, Cao Xing followed the footprints all the way.

After advancing about three hundred meters, the clue was cut off again.

There was only a collection of cow hoof prints here, which looked messy and disorganized, as if the cow had been frightened by something.

The snow on the trees nearby was shaken down, making the search more difficult.

Seeing this scene, the archer Renis also directly activated the [Hunting Eye] skill.

After this skill is made permanent by [Eternal Power], Renis can maintain it all the time or activate it all the time. It is a good way to find clues.

At this moment, her hawk-like eyes swept around again.

It wasn't long before she locked onto an area in the northwest.

"My Lord, I sense the presence of a group of creatures over there."

Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded, and then led the team directly towards the forest area.

And just at this moment, Renis suddenly reminded.

"Someone."

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn.

Cao Xing also saw a figure wrapped in a white wool coat, wearing woolen gloves and a hat, next to a giant tree in front of him.

She looked like a little lamb, with pure white hair, blending in with the snow.

And Cao Xing took a look at her information.

[Hogg Village Villager: Elisa lv5]

[Affiliation: Ice Crystal Kingdom]

[Level: First-order ordinary creature]

[HP: 240/240]

[Skill: None]

[Talent: None]

...

"It's her."

Cao Xing felt relieved. He didn't expect that Elisa actually lived alone in this snowy place for so many days.

He led his men directly over there.

However, after seeing Cao Xing and others approaching, the figure quickly crawled out from under the shelter of a huge tree next to him.

She raised her hands above her head, constantly signaling Cao Xing and others not to come over.

Cao Xing thought for a moment and shouted, "Stop."

The team stopped, and the figure on the opposite side seemed to be relieved, then came to Cao Xing cautiously.

At the same time, Cao Xing also saw her face clearly.

It was a fair, chubby little face with delicate features and two ponytails.

The most striking thing about her is her pair of eyes as bright as sapphires, her long eyelashes fluttering constantly, and her whole body exudes a youthful and lively aura.

Just as Danny said, her skin was excellent and looked as clean as a pebble.

At this moment, the little girl Elisa looked at Cao Xing and his group. There was no fear in her eyes, but curiosity instead.

Without waiting for her to speak, Cao Xing said directly: “Elisa, I was entrusted by your father Mel to come here to find you.”

"You haven't been home for a few days, and he's already worried sick."

Hearing this, Elisa’s eyes flashed with guilt, and then she pouted again, “Oh! I told my father not to come to me!”

"Goddess of the Moon! He actually invited powerful warriors like you to come all the way to the Falling Snow Lake."

She seemed to remember something and asked tentatively, "Um...Excuse me, how many crowns did my father spend to invite you here?"

Cao Xing shook his head, "No, we didn't take his crown."

Hearing this, Elisa breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed her little canine teeth at the corners of her mouth, "Then you are a pretty good person."

Cao Xing couldn't help laughing.

Old Mel didn't pay any money, but he sold himself to Cao Xing.

Liu Muxue beside him also said softly: "Hello, Elisa."

Elisa noticed Liu Muxue behind Cao Xing and exclaimed in surprise.

"By the Moon God! What do I see? A woman with godly beauty!"

"Excuse me, are you the princess from the Ice Crystal Kingdom?"

She looked at Liu Muxue with starry eyes and excitement.

A smile appeared on Liu Muxue's lips, and then she shook her head slowly and said, "Elisa, I am not the princess of the Ice Crystal Kingdom. We are the lords of the nearby area."

"Now, come back with us to Hog Village. Your father is waiting for you."
