After hearing this, Cao Xing fell into deep thought again.

Tier 3 creatures also have different strengths. For example, the gap between Tier 3 elites and Tier 3 leaders is huge.

The Goblin King was a Tier 3 boss-level creature. In his weakened state, it was extremely difficult for them to defeat him.

If it was a third-level leader in its prime, with Cao Xing's current strength, he could only barely fight back.

What worries him even more is...what if it is not the leader but a more advanced creature? Then just kill it directly.

Ji Xinyue did not urge, but waited silently.

After a moment, Cao Xing replied, "I see. Please send me the coordinates of the camp first so I can see how far it is."

"If it's too far, there's nothing I can do."

Upon hearing the news, Ji Xinyue sent over the coordinates without hesitation.

Looking at the map, it was almost two hundred kilometers away from his current location!

Cao Xing said helplessly: "You are too far away from me. Even if I rush over to you at my current speed, it will be too late."

Hearing this, Ji Xinyue on the opposite side panicked.

She said with a trembling voice: "Then...what should we do?"

"The novice protection period will be lifted tomorrow. I'm so worried that the undead will rush into my territory!"

Cao Xing did not reply because he had no other choice.

Besides, he didn't need to worry about the life or death of a stranger.

After a moment of silence, the other party replied: "I understand... Thank you, Mr. Cao Xing, for replying to my message."

"I'll wait and see what happens tomorrow. Those undead still want my help, so I don't think they'll attack me."

"If I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will contact Boss Cao Xing, and then...then see if you can spare some time to take me on this mission..."

"Is it okay?"

Ji Xinyue had a good attitude and did not get angry because Cao Xing refused her help.

You know, when people are in despair, they finally grab the last straw.

However, the life-saving straw abandoned her, and she was about to collapse at this moment.

Cao Xing thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, wait for me tomorrow to see the situation. If I have time, I will go to your territory."

After receiving Cao Xing's reply, Ji Xinyue replied gratefully: "Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Cao Xing..."

The two of them hung up the private chat.

At this time, Cao Xing also fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he was also very interested in the mission of the Sunken Palace, after all, it was related to the treasure of the palace.

You know, Cao Xing obtained an epic item in the goblin treasury and also obtained many precious gems.

The lost treasure of this kingdom must be quite good.

Let's see what happens tomorrow. If Ji Xinyue is not torn to pieces by the group of undead, he will make the trip and complete the mission.

The team is still walking in the vast ice field.

Twenty minutes later, Cao Xing and his friends arrived at a plain area.

Ahead, you can vaguely see a large frozen lake.

It is a truly large lake, with a water width of at least hundreds of kilometers and occupying a considerable area on the map.

And by the lake, there are patches of trees covered by snow and wind, and it is impossible to tell what kind of trees they are.

Several groups of figures can be vaguely seen on the frozen lake, which seem to be wandering wild creatures.

Cao Xing saw white-feathered chocobos and a group of wild sheep with lush hair. Next to the sheep, there were several snow wolves waiting for an opportunity.

Cao Xing nodded secretly and said, "There are quite a lot of resources here, so many wild monsters."

At this time, the sharp-eyed Liu Muxue whispered, "Ah Xing, there seems to be someone there."

Looking in the direction she pointed, Cao Xing also saw a figure wearing a gray cotton coat on the ice.

It looked like an old man, wearing a fisherman's hat, and his back looked a little haggard.

There was a small stool sitting under his butt, and he seemed to be ice fishing.

"My goodness, there are fishermen everywhere!"

Cao Xing smiled and then scanned the entire ice surface.

Apart from this fisherman, no other figures were seen.

At that moment, he had an idea.

"Let's go find this fisherman and get some information."

After saying that, he moved closer to the figure.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Big White spread out his elephant legs and soon stepped onto the lake.

However, despite its weight of several tons, it did not create a single crack on the ice.

This shows that the ice here is really thick.

At this moment, the figure looked a little old. After sensing the approach of Cao Xing and his group, he remained unmoved.

He took his fishing rod and cast it into the bottomless ice cave at his feet.

Cao Xing glanced at his message.

【Champion Fighter: Chinon Dutra】

[Power: Ice Crystal Kingdom]

【Level: ???】

【Attributes: ???】

【Skill:???】

【Talent: ???】

【Relationship: Cold】

…

Cao Xing's pupils suddenly shrank!

My goodness, except for the name, everything else is a question mark.

This means that the gap between the opponent's level and your own is at least 20 levels.

This is the strongest aboriginal he has ever met!

"Above level 3?"

Cao Xing secretly became alert.

Fortunately, Cao Xing did not sense any hostility from this old man.

So he let Liu Muxue continue to sit on Dabai's back, and he jumped down and came to the side of the old man.

Cao Xing went straight to the point.

"Hello, old man. Have you seen a lady passing by here in the past two days?"

"She had been away from the village for a few days and her father was worried so he asked us to come and look for this lady."

Hearing this, the old man with unfathomable strength glanced at him calmly, and then continued to look at the fishing float in front of him.

Cao Xing was left standing there feeling somewhat awkward.

After about half a minute, Cao Xing took a look at the old man's fishing process.

This ice cave is at least seven or eight meters deep and seems to have no bottom. However, now that he has advanced to a second-level creature, the improvement in his physical fitness has also greatly enhanced his vision.

Cao Xing could see that the old man's fishing float had not moved for a long time, and the small wooden barrel next to him was also empty.

Cao Xing was stunned. Is it really normal for fishermen to be empty-handed?

Such a powerful NPC didn't catch a single fish.

“Ahem…”

Cao Xing cleared his throat and asked, "Dear Mr. Qinong, are you fishing?"

When the old man heard Cao Xing calling out his name, he finally looked at him seriously.

"Do you know me?"

"Yes, Mr. Qinong's title of champion fighter resounds throughout the Snowstorm Plains. I have great respect for you."

Cao Xing talked nonsense without blushing or beating his heart.

In fact, he knew this information thanks to the survivors' own systems.

However, the old man did not seem to doubt it. He shook his head and said, "What champion? That was many years ago. Now, I am just an old man who has retired from the army."

Then, Qinong said seriously: "Since you know me, I will answer your question."

“I was definitely fishing.”

The corners of Cao Xing's mouth twitched. What he wanted to ask was Elisa's whereabouts, not this question.

But he still followed the old man's words and said, "Mr. Qinong, what kind of fish are you fishing for?"

The old man said calmly, "Salmon."

"There are many kinds of salmon in the Snowfall Lake, including gray salmon, red salmon, silver salmon..."

"These salmon are very tender and fresh. It is said that silver salmon can even make your face look younger. My wife likes the wild salmon from Snow Lake."

"Alas... In order to satisfy her, I have no choice but to come here and fish myself."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was happy, this is a good man!

Qinong said with some regret: "It's a pity that I don't know how to fish. I only know about this from hearsay. I've been fishing for a few days but haven't caught a single salmon."

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then asked, "Mr. Qinong, can you let me see what bait you used?"

Qinong nodded and casually lifted up the fishing rod.

Cao Xing saw that there was a fat worm hanging on the fish hook, and half of it had been eaten.

"This is a bug I just picked up from the ground. There are no fishermen in the Snowstorm Plains, so I haven't done any research on this."

Cao Xing nodded. If you want to fish, good bait is of course important.

Then, Cao Xing took out a [special pet food] from his pocket.

"Mr. Qinong, please try this and see if it works."

Cao Xing remembered that there was an introduction on the [Special Pet Food] that said it was made from a mixture of the internal organs of various animals and was extremely attractive to all kinds of creatures.

The fish in the water like these strong-smelling things the most.

Qinong saw the small black meatball in Cao Xing's hand, which exuded a very strong stimulating smell.

Even a few nearby direwolves turned their eyes in this direction.

But they were afraid of the breath of the people behind them and did not dare to get close for a while.

Qinong also understood the value of the black meatball in Cao Xing's hand.

"I'll try."

Qinong did not hesitate and directly hung the [Special Pet Food] on the fish bait and then threw it into the ice cave.

Everyone waited silently.

A minute later, Qinong suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand sink.

At this moment, a strong joy appeared in his slightly cloudy eyes!

"You're hooked so quickly?"

Qinong was overjoyed, and he saw the right moment and raised it quickly.

He caught a salmon that was nearly 40 centimeters long and glowed silver all over!

Qinong quickly put it into the bucket and said in surprise: "This is a silver salmon, weighing at least three pounds, worth 30,000 kronor!"

"Hey guys, we're in luck this time!"

Cao Xing smiled. Thirty thousand kronor was indeed a huge sum of money.

At the same time, a system prompt appears.

[You gave Qinong Dutra fish bait, and his attitude towards you has changed. Current relationship: stranger]

From indifference to unfamiliarity, that’s ok.

Cao Xing looked at the silver salmon in the bucket.

【Silver Salmon: Magical Creatures】

【Level: Level 6】

[Effect: After cooking and eating, it can increase the upper limit of life by 300 points, and increase the upper limit of the territory's population by 3 (can take effect up to 3 times). ]

Cao Xing was stunned.

Magical creatures? Eating them can increase the upper limit of life and population?

Good job! He never expected this!

It is estimated that even the indigenous people of this world do not know that eating silver salmon can increase the population limit, because they have no concept of population at all.

People just mistakenly thought that the silver salmon's increased vitality could improve their complexion.

Qinong saw the shock in Cao Xing's eyes and chuckled, "The meat of silver salmon is very tender. Many nobles and landlords are willing to pay a high price to buy it."

The old man said with some regret: "However, it's a pity that it's not a golden salmon. A three-pound golden salmon would cost dozens of times more!"

"And it is said that there is a legendary king salmon in this snowy lake!"

Cao Xing's curiosity was also aroused.

The effect of silver salmon is so amazing, how amazing would the effects of golden salmon and king salmon be?

"What are golden salmon and king salmon?"

Qinong explained: "Golden salmon contains a strong vitality. Even an old man like me can live a few more years with it. It is a rare opportunity."

"As for the king salmon, it is a legendary creature, but it is not eaten."

"After you catch the King Salmon, release it and it will lead you to the treasure that fell to the bottom of the lake, the Sword of the Lady of the Lake - Arondette."

"Sword of the Lake Lady?" Cao Xing's face was full of confusion.

Qinong nodded. "This is a legendary weapon. Knights of all generations in the Ice Kingdom have wanted to obtain it."

"It is said that the knight who is recognized by the Sword of the Lake Lady will become the strongest knight in the Ice Kingdom!"

Hearing about the legendary weapons, Cao Xing suddenly became more interested.

You know, he has two epic props in his hands, both of which have extremely magical effects.

A higher-level legendary item is also a weapon, so it must be extremely powerful!

And Qinong actually said that there was a legendary holy sword in this lake. How could Cao Xing not be excited?

This is important information, priceless!

At this point, Qinong shook his head with some regret and said, "However, no one has ever seen anyone catch a king salmon. The so-called Sword of the Lady of the Lake has really become a legend."

Hearing this, Cao Xing asked in confusion, "Oh? No one has seen it with their own eyes, so this legend can't be false, right?"

Qinong was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "It's true. A powerful warrior from the Ice Crystal Kingdom once possessed this weapon, and he is a close friend of mine."

Cao Xing's pupils shrank immediately, and his eyes showed, "You mean, this legendary weapon is in the hands of your friend?"

Qinon shook his head. "It was there before, but then he died and the weapon sank back to the bottom of the lake."

"On the night of his death, he seemed to have a premonition and told me a secret news."

"He said that to catch a king salmon you need an extremely rare and special bait."

Cao Xing was already completely intrigued by him and continued to ask, "What is the bait?"

Qinong thought for a moment and seemed a little hesitant.

Then he looked at the silver salmon in the bucket again and sighed, "Forget it. I'll tell you because you helped me catch a silver salmon."

"To catch the king salmon, you need the tongue of the snow demon..."
