Chapter 287 Magical Creatures, Tracks of Frost Moose (7000)

"Let me do it."

Cao Xing's voice rang out.

Everyone looked at the young man sitting on the back of the mammoth with blank eyes.

Originally, Cao Xing didn't want to get involved in such matters.

But he thought of the ghost of the girl in Anno River Village.

These hunters have a family behind them.

If it weren't for family and responsibility, who would be willing to risk their life to hunt in a place like this?
Moreover, for Cao Xing, rescuing a second-level hunter was just a piece of cake.

He simply flipped over and jumped off the mammoth's back.

Under the puzzled gazes of the hunters.

He walked over, took out a bottle of Cloud Yak milk from his backpack and fed it to him.

The next moment, the hunter's complexion recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the injuries on his body improved.

The other hunters were surprised when they saw this scene.

As Cao Xing pulled the arrow out of his back, two damage numbers of over two hundred appeared.

Then, he directly fed him a bottle of [Improved Life Secret Medicine].

At this moment, vigorous vitality bloomed in his body.

The hunter quickly became energetic.

Everyone looked at this scene in shock.

"Gods be upon you, Ainaji is alive! It was this lord who saved him!"

"Oh my god! The potion that this gentleman fed him is so magical that it can actually bring a dying person back to life."

"I think I've seen this kind of potion before. A bottle costs thousands of kronor, and the effect is not as good as this gentleman's. This bottle of potion is worth at least tens of thousands of kronor!"

Upon hearing this number, all the hunters on the field held their breath!
For these hunters, tens of thousands of kronor are almost their total income for one or two years.

Drinking so many crowns from a bottle of secret medicine was something they couldn't even imagine.

At this time, the hunter who was treated by Cao Xing also heard the discussion of other hunters.

I immediately realized how valuable what I had just drunk was.

He immediately knelt on his knees, put his head on the ground, and said with great emotion: "Thank you... Thank you so much, this kind sir..."

"Sir, please give me an address. I will try my best to save money and return the consumption of this bottle of potion to you as soon as possible."

[Because you rescued the hunter in Nice Town: Ainaji, his favorability has been improved. Current favorability: Friendly]

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "Nothing, you don't need to pay back the money."

After all, tens of thousands of kronor is a huge sum of money for these hunters, and they may not be able to save it up even after several years.

But for Cao Xing, who has a master-level alchemist, this amount of consumption is nothing.

"While it's still light, go back and reunite with your family."

When the hunters heard about their family, their expressions gradually softened.

They looked at each other.

The hunter rescued by Cao Xing seemed to have made some decision.

"Sir, to thank you for your help, let us tell you a piece of news."

Cao Xing asked in confusion: "What news?"

"In this mountain range, there is an extremely rare magical creature, the Frost Moose!"

"It's the mysterious creature we are tracking."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was suddenly shocked.

Although, he didn't know what level of creature the frost moose was, and he had never seen what this creature looked like.

However, there was a piece of frost moose hind leg meat in his backpack.

Moreover, the meat is of golden quality. Just eating one piece can increase your ice attack power by 5%. It is very powerful!
You can imagine how valuable a whole frost moose is.

Even far surpassing the Cloud Yak!
Cao Xing asked: "Where did you get the news?"

The hunter immediately replied, "It's Baron Ondre."

"The Baron's Mansion has received news that a frost moose has appeared in the Tygern Mountains, and hunters from all the towns and villages are invited to come to the mountains to look for this frost moose."

"The Baron promised that if we can find the trace of this moose, he will give us a house in the city and a reward of 10 crowns!"

"So many hunters came to the Tygern Mountains, hoping to try their luck."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed a look of realization.

The hunter continued, "Sir, it is said that this magical moose has great power."

"They can spit out extremely lethal frost. One spit can freeze an entire squadron of a hundred people."

"If it can be tamed, it will be a powerful weapon on the battlefield, so the Baron will try every means to find this kind of moose."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for the information."

Several hunters looked at each other and said, "Sir, you are too polite. We should thank you."

"Well, sir, we are going to rush home now, so we won't bother you for now."

"May the mountain god protect you."

Cao Xing nodded.

After saying that, the group of hunters quickly left from another direction.

Cao Xing returned to Dabai's back and pondered for a moment.

There are frost moose in the [Tiger Mountains], so this is very important news.

And according to these hunters, frost moose can be tamed.

If possible, Cao Xing also wanted to catch this legendary creature instead of killing it directly.

After all, a living Frost Moose is definitely worth more than a dead one.

However, they currently have no clues.

So many hunters have tried in the mountains but haven't found it. Although Cao Xing is confident in his luck, the [Tigern Mountains] are too large and the hope of finding it is slim.

And the most urgent task now is to meet up with Elisa and find the group of cloud yaks.

So he said directly: "Let's go, let's move on."

"Sarah, go ahead and explore the way."

Sarah nodded slightly and then disappeared on the spot.

The crowd continued to move forward and crossed two more high mountains.

"Crack! Click!"

The mammoth's huge hooves stepped on the frozen mountain road, and its terrifying weight crushed all the stones and branches on the ground.

At this time, Cao Xing saw a bird's nest on a branch in the distance.

He asked Dabai to stop.

Then use the [Catapult Hook] to jump up.

All at once I saw seven or eight fist-sized bird eggs quietly placed in the bird's nest!

“What a big bird egg!”

Cao Xing was shocked.

Before he could make a move, a loud roar was heard from the sky.

"quack!"

Two large white birds were circling in the air, making strange, shrill noises.

He seemed both anxious and angry.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing did not take the bird eggs away, but silently slid down from the tree.

After all, these are just ordinary bird eggs, one is equivalent to 5 units of food at most, and is not worth much.

After he left, the two big birds quickly returned to the nest and stopped screaming.

Cao Xing said: "Let's go, keep moving forward."

The crowd climbed over a hill again.

At this moment, Cao Xing heard all kinds of chaotic noises coming from a valley ahead.

Various shouts echoed in the valley.

Sarah emerged and said, "My Lord, there is something going on ahead."

"what's the situation?"

"It seems that a group of cave dwellers, a group of mole people, and snow barbarians are fighting. There are about one or two thousand people."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned.

"My goodness, a fight between one or two thousand people, and three different factions at that. This is really chaotic."

"Sarah, do you know why they started the war?"

She shook her head. "I don't know, my Lord."

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Ignore those guys, let’s go find Elisa first.”

"As ordered."

After saying that, Cao Xing changed direction and bypassed the troubled area ahead.

Then he walked straight towards where Elisa was.

There were no surprises afterwards.

They soon came to a high mountain.

Then we went down the mountain again, and the terrain took a sharp turn for the worse.

Dabai carefully carried Cao Xing and Liu Muxue on his back and slowly walked down.

When they all landed, Cao Xing appeared in a valley.

There are fallen rocks everywhere.

In the valley, there are tall silver fir trees and some unknown plants.

An unfrozen stream flows out from the depths of the valley and extends to the foot of the mountain.

Various white weeds grew on both sides of the stream.

From time to time, one or two large white birds whose names I couldn't tell flew across the sky.

The scene before my eyes was too beautiful.

"Sure enough, the scenery in the mountains is pretty good."

"If it were on Blue Star, opening a camping base here would definitely be a big hit."

Cao Xing thought happily.

At the same time, the system prompt appears.

[You have discovered a new area: Plunderer Valley]

(This is where a group of looters gather. They often rob passing guilds and hunters. They are so powerful that even the noble knights will choose to bypass this area.)
...

Seeing the map introduction, Cao Xing thought to himself, "The map prompt says that this is a gathering place for a group of looters and bandits?"

“It sounds pretty brutal.”

However, he didn't care.

With his strength, although he cannot be called invincible, there are not many creatures in this mountain range that can threaten him.

Moreover, the fact that they had fallen to the point of fleeing to the mountains to become bandits shows that the other party’s strength is not that strong.

It would be fine if they don't provoke me, but if they dare to provoke me, Cao Xing doesn't mind letting them learn a lesson.

Cao Xing turned on the communication device and asked, "Elissa, we have arrived at the Predator Valley. Where are you now?"

"Zizi...Zizi..."

Soon, Elisa’s clear voice came to my ears.

"My Lord, do you see the stream in the valley?"

"I saw it."

After hearing this, Elisa said happily: "Then follow this stream upstream. When you reach the end, you will see a pool of water. I am nearby."

"You must be slow when you come over here, otherwise you will scare away the yaks."

Cao Xing replied: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the call, Cao Xing looked at his subordinates and pets behind him.

"Wally, Baymax, you guys wait here for us first."

"Everyone else, follow me."

The two giant beasts nodded meekly, then walked obediently to the foot of a silver fir tree and waited silently.

Cao Xing led everyone and walked slowly towards the depths of the mountains.

Since the route was clear, they only had to follow the stream upstream.

After more than ten minutes, we had advanced about one or two kilometers.

Ahead, you can faintly hear the sound of gurgling water.

Although I don't know why the running water here is not frozen.

But it sounded as if they had reached the pond that Elisa had mentioned.

However, because there are a large number of silver fir trees growing nearby, the specific scene cannot be seen.

Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear.

"Elissa, we're almost there."

After hearing the sound, something seemed to move a few times on the branches of a silver fir tree not far away.

Then, a figure in a blue and white coat appeared.

She slid down the thick tree trunk like a little raccoon.

Then he waved his hand and walked quickly towards Cao Xing and others.

This figure is Elisa!

The girl's face flushed with joy.

Cao Xing also led his men towards her.

After they reunited, Xiao Chuchu walked over first, holding Elisa’s hand excitedly.

“Sister Elisa, I finally see you. Fortunately, you are okay!”

She said proudly: "Hehe! Captain Elisa is very powerful, how could anything go wrong? Even the Lord has to rely on me!"

"Yeah, Captain Elisa is the best!"

Because Elisa often boasted to Tong Chuchu, the little girl admired her very much.

Cao Xing also said with a smile on his face: “Elisa, thank you for your hard work.”

Even Liu Muxue praised Elisa's performance this time.

Faced with everyone's admiration, the little girl lowered her head in embarrassment and smiled foolishly.

Cao Xing continued to ask, "Elisa, where are the yaks?" Hearing this, she seemed to come back to her senses.

He quickly pointed to the woods behind and whispered, "Go through this woods and you'll see the pool of water."

"There's a lot of moss grass growing on the shore, and the yaks are grazing there."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

"There's still a lot of Moses grass? That's great! Now the yaks' grass supply is solved!"

Cao Xing said: “Elisa, take us there.”

"Ok."

Elisa turned around and warned, "My Lord, remember to be gentle."

After saying that, she lowered her body and tiptoed forward.

Everyone followed her slowly.

Then, deep in the valley, everyone saw the pool of water that Elisa had mentioned.

A small waterfall falls from the top of the mountain, like a white silk ribbon falling, with water droplets splashing and stirring up layers of white mist.

The area of ​​this pool of water is not large, and there is mist floating on its surface, making it look fairy-like, like a scene in a dream.

Cao Xing glanced around.

[Living Pond Water: Pond water tainted with an unknown aura that won't freeze easily, but it doesn't seem to have any special effects.]

The pool of water had no special function, so Cao Xing turned his gaze away and continued to look around.

Then, he saw a large amount of pink and purple [Moses grass] growing on the shore.

And a group of blue and white figures were among them.

It is the cloud yak.

Cao Xing felt ecstatic.

They were eating happily beside the pond at this time, and were completely unaware of the arrival of Cao Xing and others.

Cao Xing counted and found that it was exactly as Elisa said.

There are 59 yaks here, big and small!
This is an astonishing number, more than three times the number of yaks in the territory.

Cao Xing even wanted to rush over on the spot and catch all the cloud yaks in one fell swoop.

But before that, there is a problem.

That is, to prevent the cattle from escaping.

Last time, Cao Xing and others missed a large number of yaks.

So this time, we must think of a foolproof plan before taking action.

Using control skills like [Thousand Miles of Ice] will definitely not work.

The level of this group of cloud yaks is too low, and Cao Xing and others could kill them instantly with one attack.

Therefore, you can only use control skills like Hilda's [Soul Scream] that do not cause damage.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing came up with an idea.

"Rhaenis, go attack Braum's shield 19 times first."

"Andrew, you should transform into a tree man as before and calm the emotions of those yaks."

"Everyone else, follow me and approach this group of yaks from different directions."

Hearing this, everyone on the field took action.

Andrew directly used [Tree Man Form].

"Crash..."

A breath of life emanated from his body.

The body was growing taller rapidly, and dense branches and leaves were growing on top of the head.

Soon, it turned into an ash tree about three meters tall.

Andrew walked out and slowly approached the yaks.

When the group of yaks saw Andrew transformed into a tree man, they looked puzzled.

The calves among them stared ahead with their bell-like eyes curiously.

Among them, there is a cloud yak that is obviously stronger than the other yaks and looks like the leader of the herd.

"Moo...moo..."

It made a low sound, as if warning Andrew not to get close.

There was a commotion among the herd.

Andrew stopped where he was, constantly comforting the cattle and trying his best to attract their attention.

at the same time.

Cao Xing, Liu Muxue and a total of 13 people slowly approached the group of yaks from various angles.

At this time, the strong cloud yak seemed to sense something.

He quickly tilted his head and looked around.

Then, it saw the tall Assam and the people surrounding them from all directions.

In an instant, the bull's eyes widened, and a sense of crisis enveloped the whole body!

The sturdy cloud yak made a loud sound.

"Moo-"

Suddenly, there was a huge commotion among the cattle!

They all looked around and saw the group of humans that suddenly appeared.

Then he started running without hesitation!

"Boom! Boom!"

The sound of messy footsteps echoed wildly in the valley.

The cattle began to run away in all directions.

Four or five of them rushed towards Assam.

Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly ordered: "Assam, use the Frost Wolf Sword Qi, and be careful not to hurt these yaks!"

"As ordered!"

The knight slashed out with sword energy without hesitation.

"Shh!"

The sword energy swept across, plowing a gully nearly one or two meters deep in the ground in front!

And it landed on a spruce tree in the distance and cut it off directly!

"Boom!"

The spruce tree collapsed on the spot.

When the yaks saw the terrifying killing power of the knight, fear appeared in their eyes and they decisively gave up breaking out in this direction.

In other directions, large herds of cattle were also rushing over.

Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly gave orders.

"Jonald, Josent, each of you block one direction and use the Ice Dragon Spear to break it!"

As soon as those words fell, the two dragon-blood fighters raised their spears and thrust them forward fiercely!
"Boom! Boom!"

All of a sudden!
Two ice pillars, two meters thick and 65 meters long, appeared and blocked two directions!

Now, the herd of yaks only had one direction to escape.

And it seemed that no one was blocking the road in that direction.

The cloud yaks had almost no time to think, and they all subconsciously ran towards the gap.

And just then.

A sturdy man with a naked upper body and holding a huge shield suddenly jumped out.

Braum raised his great shield and laughed, "Aha! Mavericks, look here!"

The entire herd of cattle stopped and looked at the big guy Braum in horror!
"call out!"

An arrow hit his shield, and he had received 20 attacks in total.

The next moment, the eye on the [Evil Eye Shield] opened.

An evil, powerful aura suddenly spread across the valley.

All the yaks seemed to have seen something horrible and stood still as if they had been electrocuted.

59 yaks, all controlled!
This is the power of the special effect of [Open Eyes]!

A strong look of joy appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Then he quickly gave the order: "Muxue, Chuchu, use the pet contract on these yaks, quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, the three figures turned into afterimages and rushed out.

They took out pet contracts from their backpacks and used them on the yaks in front of them.

[This contract has failed. The primary contract scroll has disappeared...]

[This contract has failed. The primary contract scroll has disappeared...]

After two consecutive failures, Cao Xing was not discouraged at all.

He took out another contract scroll and used it directly.

[Ding! Contract successful, Magical Creature: Cloud Yak lv18, has become your pet, Territory population +1]

...

“Finally succeeded in the first one!”

Cao Xing was delighted.

The tamed cloud yak's eyes suddenly regained clarity and it stood obediently aside.

Tong Chuchu and Liu Muxue were not willing to be outdone.

After failing two or three times in a row, I finally succeeded on the first one!
[Ding! Your territory member: Tong Chuchu successfully used the pet contract. Magical creature: Cloud Yak lv16 has become your territory creature. Territory population +1]

[Ding! Your subordinate lord: Liu Muxue successfully used the pet contract. Magical creature: Cloud Yak lv19 has become your territory creature. Territory population +1]

...

"Chu Chu, Mu Xue, you did a great job, keep it up!"

Cao Xing praised.

The two girls also had happy smiles on their faces.

They also know that the milk of the Cloud Yak is of incredible value and can bring huge profits to the territory!

Then, he began to use the contract more vigorously on this group of yaks!
Braum's [Eyes Opened] special effect has a control time of 1 to 5 seconds. Of course, it has the longest control time when dealing with these cloud yaks that are only at the second level of strength.

During these five seconds, Cao Xing and others almost did not stop for a moment and began to use the pet contract frantically.

[Ding! Contract successful...]

[Ding! Contract successful...]

System prompts appear one after another.

The five-second control time is about to end.

The three of them failed 53 times and succeeded 16 times!
This means that they directly captured 16 cloud yaks this time!
Cao Xing was very excited.

You know, there are only 19 cloud yaks in his territory, and this time it has almost doubled!
However, this is less than one-third of the yaks on the field.

It is still far from reaching Cao Xing’s goal!

At this moment, there was commotion among the herd again.

Those yaks are about to be released from control.

Cao Xing was not at all flustered, and immediately gave the order: "Xierda, Soul Scream!"

Upon receiving the order, the beautiful blood spider queen slowly opened her dark purple lips and let out a sharp scream.

"ah!!!"

In an instant, the red sound waves began to spread like a substance.

The cloud yaks on the field that had not been contracted seemed to have heard a terrifying sound. They were frightened and jumped around like headless flies!

"Boom! Boom!"

The cattle were running wildly and charging around.

Cao Xing continued to give orders: "Everyone, block the gap and don't let these yaks escape."

After receiving the order, everyone picked up their weapons and defended their own positions.

Berjie Sunstrider holds a giant axe and exudes a destructive aura!
Victoria's whole body was filled with spiritual energy, and the surrounding snow, wind and fallen leaves were spinning rapidly around her.

The power of the dark moon on Sarah next to her gave people a sense of deadly danger.

Including Isabel, Hilda and others, the aura on their bodies is very terrifying.

This made the group of cloud yaks dare not get close at all!
He could only keep changing his position in the same place and then run around everywhere.

Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly ordered: "Mu Xue, Chu Chu, continue to use the pet contract."

After saying that, the three of them rushed forward and began to use the contract on the chaotic herd of cattle.

[Contract failed...]

[Contract failed...]

[Ding! Contract successful! ]

...

System prompts kept appearing, and almost one out of every three was successful.

At the same time, as time goes by, Cao Xing's population is also increasing.

The control time of [Soul Scream] is longer, but these yaks will run around, so the efficiency is not as high as expected.

After 40 seconds, Cao Xing had captured 59 of the 47 cloud yaks on the field.

There are only 12 left, and they are still running around!

By this time, the control time of [Soul Scream] will also be over.

Cao Xing was not flustered when he saw this.

After all, his subordinates still have many control skills that do not cause any collateral damage.

Hilda used [Net], Isabel used [Holy Ring], and Andrew used [Root Entanglement].

Cao Xing even has a killer weapon of his own - the ancient weapon, the primitive cube.

So, for the first time, he took out the black Rubik's Cube from his backpack.

Then just click Use.

In an instant, a small black dot appeared about 50 meters in front of Cao Xing, which was the center of the group of cloud yaks.

The moment this black spot appeared, a powerful suction force appeared!
