Chapter 73 Picking up money on the way
The tracked robot began to turn again, covering the ruts on the ground.

After a while, they completely entered the mountain range.

As the trail climbs, the terrain becomes higher.

But fortunately, the tracked robot is an all-terrain robot and this kind of road condition is not a problem for it at all.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue sat comfortably on the back of the robot.

Cao Xing also took out a handful of nuts from his backpack and gave half to Liu Muxue.

The two of them chewed nuts while admiring the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains.

From this picture, it looks like they are not going on an adventure, but rather are here for tourism.

Not long after walking, Cao Xing suddenly saw signs of a battle on the road ahead.

Two or three carriages overturned on the ground looked a mess.

On the cold snow, the pools of blood were particularly eye-catching.

Swish!
Assam was the first to draw his sword and went on alert.

Cao Xing said: "Assam, go and check what happened ahead."

"As you command, Lord."

Assam received the order and instantly controlled the Frostwolf to rush forward.

After a while, he turned back and reported: "My Lord, that is a human caravan ahead of us. They seem to have been attacked and have been completely wiped out."

Cao Xing frowned and asked in confusion: "Chamber of Commerce? Could it be Hilton and the others?"

Assam shook his head. "No, it's the Giant Chamber of Commerce's carriage. I saw a fist logo on it."

Cao Xing nodded suddenly.

The Giant Chamber of Commerce is one of the three most famous chambers of commerce along with the Black Lion Chamber of Commerce and the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce. Hilton has mentioned it before.

"Attack? Do you know who did it?"

Assam nodded. "Judging from the traces of battle at the scene and the footprints on the ground, they must have encountered a forest yeti."

"This is a ferocious, violent monster that attacks humans when it can't find food in the snow."

Cao Xing frowned, "How strong is the forest snow monster?"

Assam pondered, "There are strong and weak creatures like forest snow monsters, but most of them are not very strong."

"It is said that they are the guardians of the mountain gods."

Cao Xing nodded.

After hearing Assam say that this group of forest snow monsters were not very strong, I gradually felt relieved.

Otherwise, he would take his people and run away right now!
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Then he came to the three overturned carriages.

When Cao Xing saw what was on the carriage, his eyes suddenly lit up.

In the overturned carriage, there were several cargo boxes, which seemed to be loaded with various goods.

Cao Xing walked straight down and came to one of the carriages.

A system prompt appears.

[Found the Giant Chamber of Commerce cargo box, do you want to open it? 】

Cao Xing directly clicked 'Yes'.

[Open successfully. 】

[Get 32 ​​pieces of Martina Rose Wine]

[Obtain Vizima Champion Liquor*30]

[Get 7 bottles of goat milk]

[Obtain Yak Meat*372]

[Get Ceviche*172]

……

The first truck was mostly filled with food and some drinks.

In this icy and snowy environment, these supplies are extremely precious.

If taken to those towns, it can be sold at a very high price.

When Cao Xing saw the introduction of the two kinds of wine, his eyes suddenly lit up.

[Maitina Rose Wine: After taking it, you can instantly recover 400 HP and increase your spirit by 300 points within 10 seconds, but there is a 50% chance of getting drunk.]

(Red wine, which is loved by some knights, is sold in the territory tavern and has a chance of attracting some powerful knights.)
[Vizima Champion Liquor: After taking it, you can instantly recover 300 HP and increase your strength by 300 points within 10 seconds. There is an 80% chance of entering a drunken state.)
(Strong liquor that is loved by some polar warriors. It is sold in the territory tavern and has a chance to attract some powerful warriors.)
……

"Huh? It can actually increase attributes and attract powerful knights and warriors?"

Cao Xing was extremely delighted. Just from these two points, one could see the preciousness of these two kinds of wine.

And the key point is that I have SSS-level talent.

If you take it, it may be able to permanently increase your attributes!
……

Cao Xing even wanted to show off two bottles on the spot.

But drinking these drinks will make you drunk.

Therefore, Cao Xing could only wait until he returned to his territory before trying it again.

The first truck brought him great rewards.

Next to it, there were two overturned trucks.

Cao Xing couldn't help but become more excited.

He came to the second truck and the system prompt appeared.

[Found the Giant Chamber of Commerce cargo box, do you want to open it? 】

"Yes."

[Open successfully. 】

[Get complete snow wolf skin*7]

[Get complete deerskin*8]

[Get 12 pieces of wool cloth roll (white)]

[Get 15 pieces of linen roll (white)]

[Obtain Silk Cloth Roll (Green)*13 pieces]

……

Cao Xing was delighted again.

"Wow, there are all kinds of cloth in here!" With the cloth, you can make some warm clothes in batches in the [Tailor Shop].

At this stage, the value of a piece of cold-proof clothing is self-evident.

In the market, many survivors may not be able to exchange weapons and equipment for clothes.

Cao Xing can use these cloths to make clothes, and then exchange them with other survivors for precious resources!

"However, there are actually green-grade cloth rolls in here."

“Is there any special effect?”

Cao Xing took a look.

[Silk cloth roll (green): A kind of cloth roll that is loved by the nobles. It is light in texture and has a strong cold-proof effect. 】

(When made into clothing, there is a greater chance of adding additional charm attributes.)
After reading the introduction, Cao Xing nodded and put it away.

He came to the third truck and clicked to open it.

[Open successfully. 】

[Get coins*47203]

[Get Magic Stone*172]

[Obtain special pet food*17 (green)]

[Obtain refined iron (blue)*72]

[Get Amber Pebble (Green)*12]

……

Another large amount of precious materials was received, as well as a huge sum of more than 40,000 yuan.

I have to say, it feels really good to pick up money.

Cao Xing almost fell in love with this feeling.

"No wonder those hunters like to rob the Chamber of Commerce. The profits are too high!"

"But unfortunately, the resources of this caravan are not as good as those of Hilton."

You know, Hilton had two pieces of purple equipment, as well as hundreds of thousands of crowns, potions, and so on.

After thinking about it, Cao Xing also felt that it was natural.

After all, Hilton brought a large group of guards, plus two third-level elite guards.

With such a powerful guard force, they will not be killed by a group of snow monsters.

Then, Cao Xing checked the properties of the two new materials as usual.

[Special Pet Ration (Green): A special ration with a lot of animal organs and eyeballs, loved by all kinds of pets. After feeding, it can increase 1 point of loyalty. The upper limit of feeding a single pet is 5 times. ]

(Note: Although the rations are good, do not feed them too many times~)

[Amber Pebble (Green): Can be embedded in weapons to increase weapon attack power by 5 points.]

(The amber buried deep underground seems to have some kind of weak power.)
……

"Huh? This pet ration can also increase loyalty?"

Cao Xing laughed, then took out a piece and threw it towards Dabai.

Dabai also opened his mouth subconsciously.

The next moment, Dabai's pupils suddenly widened, as if he had encountered some delicious food, and he swallowed it up voraciously.

At this time, a system prompt appears.

[Your pet: Dabai has taken special pet rations, loyalty +1, satiety +3.]

Haha! It really increases loyalty!
Cao Xing continued feeding.

After the fifth feeding, the system prompts: The feeding number has reached the upper limit.

Dabai's loyalty has reached 95 points, and the mount function can be activated soon.

At this time, Dabai was still looking at Cao Xing eagerly, as if he was extremely eager to taste the delicious food again.

Cao Xing patted its head and said, "You can't eat too much in one day. I'll feed you next time, dear."

Dabai understood what he said and turned his head to the side reluctantly.

At this point, all the supplies in the three trucks had been collected by Cao Xing.

Looking at the overturned carriage and the bloodstains on the ground.

Cao Xing said: "If there is a chance, I will kill those snow monsters for you. Just consider it as my reward for taking away these supplies."

After saying this, he led everyone forward.

Following this path into the mountains, Cao Xing and his team advanced about two kilometers again.

Along the way, I didn't know whether they were afraid of Dabai's huge size or because of their number.

Cao Xing was not attacked by those monsters.

Half an hour later, they had penetrated about three kilometers into the mountains.

The terrain here is already very high, with an altitude of at least 800 meters.

Cao Xing opened the map again and took a look at the distance to [Telo Mountain].

Then he said, "We are almost there. We will soon reach Troshan, where Neve and her sister were separated."

"From now on, observe the surrounding situation and see if there are any signs of fighting or fleeing."

After all, Neve’s sister was being hunted by trolls at the time, and she would likely have fled outside of the Troshan area to avoid them.

After hearing Cao Xing's instructions, everyone began to observe their surroundings.

Sarah, on the other hand, disappeared from the spot and started exploring everywhere.

The team searched as they moved forward.

Soon we arrived at [Telo Mountain] on the map.

This is a high mountain also covered with thick snow, with some birch trees and shrubs growing sparsely on it.

The terrain is extremely steep and normal people cannot climb up at all.

"This place is so steep, how did those caravans get through?"

Cao Xing couldn't help but think about this question.

Mount Tro is the only way to pass through the Borelis Mountains. If you can't cross this mountain, you can only return the same way, which will take dozens or hundreds of kilometers and waste a lot of time.

At this time, Assam reported: "My Lord, there is a path ahead, and it seems that we can pass through Troshan from that path."
