Chapter 74 Discover the hidden area!

Under Assam's guidance, Cao Xing came to a two-meter-wide path next to Tro Mountain.

This path is built close to the edge of Mount Tro, and there is a cliff next to it, and you will fall down if you are not careful.

A system prompt appears.

[Discover the Troshan Trade Road]

(This is a path opened up by a group of merchants who offered sacrifices to the cave dwellers. When passing by, they need to take out meat as a sacrifice, otherwise they will be attacked by the cave dwellers.)
Cao Xing laughed, "They have to offer meat just to cross the road. These cave dwellers are also a group of bandits!"

However, because this is the only passage, those chambers of commerce can only pass through Troshan from here, and they must also abide by the rules here.

Neve and the others might have come from here before.

At this time, Sarah suddenly appeared and reported: "My Lord, we found traces of camping in a nearby forest."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's expression suddenly brightened up, "Take us there."

He was worried that he couldn't find any clues!
Sarah nodded.

Then, everyone followed Sarah to a forest where there was an extinguished campfire and some destroyed tents.

The messy footprints and several fallen birch trees nearby indicated that a battle had once taken place here.

Seeing this, Cao Xing ordered: "Search carefully to see if you can find any clues about Sister Niv."

Everyone started searching.

However, due to the heavy snow last night, many traces were covered.

They could only barely figure out the situation based on the footprints on the ground.

A moment later, Andrew made a new discovery.

He said calmly, "My Lord, there is a set of footprints here that seem to lead deep into the woods."

"But there are too many footprints, and they are too messy. I'm not sure if they belong to Neve's sister."

Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded and said, "It's okay, let's search along this footprint first."

Andrew didn't say much, but turned around and led the way.

The group continued to go deeper.

However, this mess of footsteps seemed to have run a long way.

Until they passed through the woods and came to a wide area.

There seemed to be a cliff here. Not long after walking, a cliff blocked everyone's way.

"Stop!" Cao Xing made a gesture.

This cliff is bottomless and shrouded in mist and clouds, so it is impossible to tell what is happening below.

There were footprints all around.

It can be seen that Hilton and his team also followed this trail of footprints and probably stopped here as well.

Asam said: "My Lord, with such a deep cliff, no one can survive after falling down unless they are a fourth-level expert."

Cao Xing nodded.

All the signs at hand indicate that Neve's sister, Juliette, may have fallen off the cliff and died here.

Hilton and his team thought so too, so they gave up the search.

However, Niv told Cao Xing that she could sense that her sister was still alive.

Cao Xing didn't know whether what the little girl said was true, but as a tree spirit, she might have some special sensing abilities.

So Cao Xing gave the order.

"Keep searching nearby and don't miss any corner."

After hearing this, everyone started searching again.

Although, none of them had high expectations for this search.

There is nothing but bare land near the cliff, and there is no place to hide at all. If there is someone there, it will be visible at a glance.

They quickly searched the area within a few hundred meters, and everyone shook their heads with regret.

"My Lord, I have not found anything."

"Same here."

Assam and Sarah reported one after another.

Cao Xing sighed regretfully.

Because that would mean he couldn't find Juliet, and the mission would be a failure.

Liu Muxue beside him also had a worried look on his face.

At this moment, the newly recruited archer, Renis, discovered something unusual.

"I felt a slight fluctuation of magic power nearby."

Cao Xing asked doubtfully: "Magic power fluctuations?"

Renis did not answer, but directly activated the [Hunting Eye] skill.

At this moment, her pupils suddenly changed color, like a pair of real eagle eyes.

His sharp eyes swept around inch by inch and then stopped on a patch of grass.

Renis said directly: "There is something wrong with that patch of grass."

Cao Xing was stunned, then he followed her gaze, only to find that it was just a pile of ordinary weeds.

"Um, what's the problem?"

Renis replied: "It's a trap, a hunting trap set by cave dwellers. Some wild animals will be attracted by the smell and then caught in the trap."

Cao Xing's expression brightened up after hearing this.

Wow, you can even notice this, this new member is quite something.

However, there is an introduction on Renis's [Hunting Eye] that says it can see through illusions, which is normal.

"Rhaenys, you have a pair of eyes that rival those of a god. You did a great job."

Cao Xing complimented casually.

Renis shook her head, and her high ponytail swayed slightly.

"You flatter me, my Lord."

She acted calmly, but there was a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Just then, a system prompt appeared.

[Your territory member: Renis Hawkeye, was moved by your words and her loyalty has increased. Current loyalty: 76]

Cao Xing was stunned. This was just a casual compliment from him, but he didn't expect it could actually increase his favorability.

Although the increase is not much, only 2 points, it is not bad.

Cao Xing said happily: "As expected, women love to hear words praising them. It seems that I should praise my subordinates more when I have the chance in the future."

For Cao Xing, this is just a matter of talking.

"Gather! Follow me."

Cao Xing led his men directly towards the bushes.

As he got closer, a system prompt appeared in front of him.

【Caveman Hunting Trap】

[Armor: 10]

[Durability: 300]

[Effect: Lure nearby wandering monsters and make them fall into the cave of the cavemen.]

……

Seeing the subsequent effects, Cao Xing suddenly became excited.

There seems to be a caveman's cave down here!

This means that Neve's sister may have fallen from here as well.

Liu Muxue next to her also became excited.

"Sarah, take down this trap."

Sarah immediately began to execute.

Uh-huh! Swish!

It only takes a few seconds to dismantle this [hunting trap].

[Dismantle the caveman hunting trap, gain experience points: 20 points.]

After the trap was dismantled, Cao Xing saw a deep cave entrance appear below.

A stone was thrown down and soon a sound was heard.

This shows that the hole below is not deep, about three or four meters.

However, the diameter of the hole is very small and can only accommodate an adult.

In other words, the strong Andrew, the mammoth Baymax, and several robots had to stay outside.

Cao Xing thought about it for a while.

Fortunately, he has the strongest fighting power, so Sarah can follow him.

So Cao Xing gave the order directly: "Assam, Sarah, Renis, follow me down."

"Everyone else, stay up there!"

Assam turned over and jumped off the Frostwolf's back.

"I will follow your orders, my Lord."

He took the lead and jumped directly into the cave.

The second one to go down was Sarah, followed by Reness.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue also jumped down in the end.

One of them is now level 6, and the other is level 7, with their attributes greatly improved.

This height is not a problem for them.

puff.

After the two landed steadily, they appeared in a dim environment.

[You have discovered the hidden area: the caveman's cliff cave. ]

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing's eyes lit up. "Hey, this is actually a hidden area."

Based on Cao Xing’s previous experience.

A hidden area means there may be some special items inside.

These special props have some unexpected effects.

Liu Muxue also had a look of joy on her face, "That's great, Ah Xing, little Nifu's sister is probably in there too."

Cao Xing nodded.

The environment in the cave dwellers' cave was very dark, and bursts of monkey-like cries could be heard from inside.

“Oh! Oh~”

"Woo~"

Cao Xing did not delay and ordered the recruited creatures to quickly clear the way ahead.

They walked along the passage for about seven or eight hundred meters.

This shows that this cave is really deep.

Fortunately, there is no fork in this passage.

Also, they didn't encounter any cavemen.

Cao Xing asked in confusion: "That's strange, where did these cave dwellers go?"

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly saw a small wooden door on the wall next to him.

The wooden door was not locked and could be easily pushed open.

"Crench!"

As the wooden door opened, a system prompt appeared.

[Discover the caveman bedroom.]

"Fuck, you came to the room where the cavemen were sleeping?"

Cao Xing went in and searched around, and found some materials in the corner of the cave, and collected them all.

[Get dry food*5]

[Get viscous liquid*3]

[Get wool scraps*7]

[Get Caveman Totem*1]

Cao Xing nodded. "Although they are just some sundries, the sticky liquid is still good and can be sold at a good price."

In addition to this, there is a wooden totem with a beast skull carved on it.

[Caveman Totem: Accessory]

[Item attributes: Increases 2 points of strength after wearing. ]

(This totem is engraved with the mark of the mountain god, and can obtain a slight blessing from the mountain god.)
"Increasing strength by 2 points is not bad."

Cao Xing now has a piece of jewelry on his body, which is the emblem of the Carrot family.

Survivors can equip up to 4 accessories at a time.

Cao Xing equipped it directly.

Then, Cao Xing walked out of the [Caveman's Bedroom] and continued to move deeper into the passage.

There seem to be a lot of small wooden doors here, and inside are the rooms where the cave dwellers sleep. There should be some gains here.

But now, Cao Xing has to hurry to find Juliet and can't delay here too long.

Therefore, he could only suppress his desire to search and continue moving towards the cave.

After moving forward about two or three hundred meters.

Cao Xing saw it vaguely.

In the passage ahead, three hunched, tall and thin creatures with long arms appeared.

They are covered in gray hair and look like a variant of gorillas.

[Caveman Warrior lv13]

[Race: Caveman]

[HP: 2140/2140]

[Attack power: 243~257]

[Skill: Giant Strength (Increases Strength by 20%)
Gravel Throw (Throws gravel, causing 60% of the attack damage to the enemy)]

[Talent: None]

...

The three caveman warriors also discovered Cao Xing and others.

They suddenly opened their mouths wide.

"Oh! Whoa!"

"They are humans. We can't let them disturb the mountain god's sacrifice. Capture them!"

The cavemen immediately raised their weapons high and jumped towards them.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing's mouth twitched.

These cave dwellers cannot run normally and can only move forward by jumping. This way of moving is really abstract.

Cao Xing ordered: "Quick battle and quick decision."

The next moment, Sarah, Renis, and Assam all launched their attacks.

Renis stood straight as a strong pine tree, which made her already large breasts look even rounder and fuller.

The bowstring in her hand was fully pulled, and then the arrow was released directly.

call out!
There was a sound of breaking air, and an arrow was shot out instantly.

It hit one of the bouncing cavemen directly in the chest.

"puff!"

【-574! 】

This arrow triggered a weak spot attack.

"Ouch!"

The caveman screamed.

And just then.

A shadow blade was handed out silently.

"Shh! Shh!"

Sarah immediately started the continuous killing mode.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

Two terrifying damage numbers appeared.

The caveman warrior's health was reduced to zero on the spot and he fell down.

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance killed the caveman level 13, and gained 140 experience points]

[Combatants gain experience points: 70 points.]

When the other two cavemen saw their companion's death, shock flashed in their eyes.

"Panama is dead, revenge it!"

However, before they could rush over, Assam had already rushed over.

The Frost Wolf sword technique continued to dance with cold light.

He simply held down the two cavemen by himself.

The caveman swung the spear in his hand and stabbed at Assam.

Ding!Ding!
【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

After two crisp sounds.

Two negligible damage numbers appeared on Assam's head.

At this moment, a burst of cold air suddenly erupted from Assam.

Swish!
A damage number [-7] appeared above the heads of the two cavemen.

However, the damage was not the main thing. The main thing was that the cavemen were covered with a layer of frost, which greatly reduced their mobility, making it easier for Assam to deal with them.

This is the effect of [Frost Shield], which is very powerful.

Renis kept pulling the bowstring from behind, causing considerable damage.

In the dark, Sarah is wielding the terrifying Shadow Blade.

Less than ten seconds.

The remaining two cavemen were also killed by them neatly and efficiently.

With the support of a large number of statuses, they all have the combat power to fight against boss-level creatures of the same level.

Therefore, this kind of battle poses no pressure at all to them.

"Well done, you are all the best fighters!"

Cao Xing complimented casually.

Looking at the corpses of the three cavemen on the ground, the next step is to harvest the spoils.

With a little expectation in his eyes...
