Chapter 94: Clues to Magical Creatures and Cloud Yaks
In fact, Cao Xing really wanted to say that a little girl had been outside alone for two days, and there was a heavy snowfall the night before yesterday.

I'm afraid Elisa would have been frozen into a figurine by now.

Old Mel sighed and said, "I understand what this lord means."

"The snowfield at night is too dangerous. The temperature is simply not something that ordinary people can survive."

"But Eliza has been very smart since she was young. She has gone out alone before and spent the night outside the village. There were times when even I thought she would not come back."

"And a few days later, the little girl appeared from nowhere again."

"She seemed to have her own survival skills, but when I asked her, she wouldn't tell me."

"So I think little Elisa should still be alive..."

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Meier."

"After dawn tomorrow, I will go to the area near the Falling Snow Lake you mentioned to look for your daughter. Is that okay with you?"

After hearing this, Old Mel burst into tears of gratitude. "Sure, as long as the Lord can go to look for my daughter, it doesn't matter if it's tomorrow."

Cao Xing nodded and accepted the task.

[Successfully accepted the mission: Mel's commission, the favorability has been improved. ]

Cao Xing helped old Mel up.

After asking some mission details, Cao Xing turned and left.

Under the gaze of Old Mel, Cao Xing and others disappeared from the street, preparing to go to the grain store to pick up the grain he had purchased.

On the way to the grain store, Cao Xing thought helplessly: "I just wanted to buy a few cows, and now I have been given a task."

He shook his head and said, "Forget it. Let's go to Luoxue Lake tomorrow to see if we can find Old Mel's daughter."

"Axing, is Luoxue Lake dangerous?" Liu Muxue asked tentatively.

Cao Xing shook his head. "I'm not sure, but there's no X marked on the map, which means there's not much danger."

Liu Muxue nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved.

Danny, a villager nearby, said, “Sir… I just heard from Grandpa Mel that Elisa discovered the cloud yak.”

"This is an extremely sacred and rare creature. If it is real, you sirs may become rich!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing became interested. "Oh? What does the cloud yak look like? What's so special about it?"

When Danny, a villager, heard this question, he touched his head in embarrassment and said, "I... I haven't seen a cloud yak either..."

"But I heard from adults that the cloud yak is just like its name, its hair is like cloud silk, the texture is very soft, and it has strong warmth retention properties, and it can even generate heat on its own."

"The nobles in the big cities are willing to pay a huge price to buy a piece of cloud yak fur."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise.

This was the first time he had heard of fur that could generate heat on its own.

In this icy and snowy environment, this fur is even as useful as a piece of golden equipment.

If the cloud yaks were really that magical, wouldn't they have been captured by all those mercenaries?

He seemed to see the doubts in Cao Xing's mind.

Villager Danny explained cheerfully, "Sir, cloud yaks are extremely rare and hard to see. They don't always appear in fixed locations. It's possible that you saw a group of cloud yaks one day and they disappeared the next day."

“It can be said that it is something you can only encounter by chance.”

At this point, Danny paused and said, "Besides, I also heard that the milk produced by the Cloud Yak has magical powers. It can not only beautify the skin, but also strengthen people's physical fitness!"

Cao Xing was stunned after hearing this. From what Danny meant, the milk of the Cloud Yak could enhance physical fitness.

For survivors, this is a precious resource.

Cao Xing became more determined to go to Luoxue Lake tomorrow.

"Danny, this is good information."

Cao Xing directly took out 20 crowns and gave them to Danny.

Danny's eyes widened when he saw Cao Xing take out so much money at once!
He stretched out his hands, took it tremblingly, and kept saying thank you.

Cao Xing waved his hand.

Then they came to the door of the grain store.

The proprietress Elena was already waiting here.

At this moment, Elena was leaning lazily against the door, wrapped in a wolfskin coat, but her mature charm was still hard to conceal.

Every movement seems to be able to make people fall.

Seeing Cao Xing and others, Elena's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh, sir, you are finally here."

Cao Xing nodded, "Are all the things ready?"

Elena said quickly, "Of course it's ready. All the food has been loaded onto your carriage. My lord, would you like to weigh it?"

Cao Xing glanced at the simple carriage at the door, which was filled with various bags of grain, and in front of the carriage was a black and brown Jansky horse.

He shook his head and said, "No, thank you, Madam Boss."

Hearing Cao Xing's thanks, Elena immediately covered her face and started to giggle.

The majestic chest trembled with laughter, which made Danny beside him stare in amazement.

Elena said with satisfaction and charm: "My Lord, you are so polite~ Next time you come to our Hog Village, I will invite you to have a drink at Zhuolan Tavern and talk about life together in the evening~"

Her words carried some hint of meaning.

However, Liu Muxue, who was standing next to him, suddenly realized something when she heard the latter sentence.

She subconsciously took Cao Xing's hand and looked at Elena with vigilance.

Seeing this scene, Elena giggled again.

Cao Xing coughed awkwardly twice, then said, "Boss lady, we'll leave first. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome~ Take care, adults~"

Cao Xing nodded. Assam walked to the carriage skillfully, took the reins, and walked out of the village.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of militiamen, Cao Xing and his companions walked out of [Hog Village]...

Just as Cao Xing and his group left.

A young man wearing black iron armor on the upper body and jeans on the lower body walked out of a tavern beside the street. He looked a bit out of place.

He stared at Cao Xing's back, with complex expressions flashing across his eyes.

If Cao Xing were here, he would definitely discover that this person is also a survivor from Blue Star.

His name is Shen Jinbing.

Shen Jinbing sighed at this time, "I didn't expect that this person is Cao Xing."

"The hottest person in the chat channel, number one on the list of District 174, I actually ran into him!"

"What a powerful existence. He actually has a level 13 leader under him. No wonder he can level up so quickly."

At present, Shen Jinbing only saw Assam's message and did not notice Sarah in the shadow.

At this time, a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

Now Fang Long's high reward for Cao Xing's location is known to everyone.

A level 10 elite creature recruitment scroll is enough to dramatically increase the strength of most survivors, and it also makes them feel excited.

However, Shen Jinbing was afraid that telling the Three Heroes Society the information here would bring revenge from Cao Xing.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Jinbing opened a private chat and sent a message.

"I have the information you want, but make sure you don't expose me..."

...

In the snow, a group of people moved forward in the dim sky.

Sitting on the tracked robot, Cao Xing glanced at the countdown above his head.

[Due to nightfall: 32 minutes...]

[Current temperature: -56℃]

"In the last half hour, I finally got back before dark."

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the map. The camp was only a few hundred meters away.

In the snow in the distance, there is a bright red color, reflecting the shadows of many houses.

It's like a small, isolated world in the ice and snow.

After getting closer, Cao Xing saw that the group of polar people, the tree spirits, and the human Cao Yi and others were still working hard.

Collect supplies, upgrade houses, and build new buildings.

The entire territory is in a state of rapid development!
Outside the territory, there are two railroad tracks that extend to the mine outside the snow, with mine carts carrying a lot of ore.

Liu Muxue's beautiful eyes looked forward to it, and she said in surprise: "Axing, our territory has changed a lot!"

Cao Xing also noticed that compared to when they left, the current territory had undergone tremendous changes.

First, the bonfire in the center of the territory has changed from a large bonfire to a huge furnace nearly three meters high and more than one meter in diameter!
The territory has also expanded significantly.

The radius reached 500 meters, and the bonfire coverage area reached one kilometer!

This area is already quite large, and it is no problem to grow crops and raise cattle and sheep.

In addition, Cao Xing also saw seven buildings that were more than ten meters high.

Three of them are [Primary Elemental Arrow Towers] and two are [Primary Sentry Towers].

As for the other two, they are [lighthouses].

There are many more buildings in the territory.

Da Zhuang, Cao Yi and others also noticed the huge figures in the snow from afar.

Compared to before they went out, they had four more people, and the team became even larger.

Not only that, Cao Xing also brought back a carriage full of supplies.

They all stopped what they were doing and looked at the approaching figure with hope.

And when they saw the tall mammoth, they exclaimed in surprise.

"It's the Lord!"

"The Lord is back. Everyone, come out and greet these brave warriors!"

Hearing Da Zhuang's shout, dozens of people in the territory came over in a crowd.

Under their gaze.

Cao Xing and his group walked straight into the territory.

All of a sudden, a warm current came over me.

Everyone felt a sense of comfort all over their body.

The Centaur Kandar said excitedly: "What a warm territory! It's much more comfortable than our Centaur tribe!"

Canter also echoed: "That's right, Candar, the centaurs like it here."

Including the Black Smoke Shaman standing next to him, everyone looked surprised.

After all, this was their first time entering the survivors' territory.

The magical thing called [Bonfire] is unique to the survivors.

Cao Xing also looked at the thermometer in confusion.

[Current temperature: -21℃]
