Chapter 104: Champions' Gratitude and Trade



Qinong whispered, "If you want to catch the king salmon, you need the tongue of the snow demon..."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was suddenly shocked.

Oh shit!

He just killed a snow demon last night and even separated its tongue!

Now this old man actually told me that I could use the snow demon’s tongue to catch the legendary weapon!

One can imagine how shocked Cao Xing was at this moment.

But Cao Xing did not show it, but silently kept this information in his heart.

Qinong added, "However, the snow demon's tongue is not 100% capable of catching king salmon. It is possible that it will catch some strange creatures."

"And the stronger the snow demon's tongue, the higher the chance of catching a king salmon."

Cao Xing nodded suddenly.

It seems that the snow demon tongue in his backpack is nothing special. There must have been strong people who tried it before, but they didn't catch the king salmon.

Therefore, he needs more snow demon tongues to increase the probability of success.

At this time, Liu Muxue beside him reminded: "Axing... Elisa..."

Hearing this name, Cao Xing suddenly remembered this.

What the hell, I came here to look for someone, why did I end up talking about fishing with this chick?

So, Cao Xing asked again: "Mr. Qinong, we are here to look for a little girl named Elisa. She hasn't returned for a few days, and her family is very worried."

"Do you know any relevant clues?"

It may be because the other party has changed from being cold to being a stranger.

This time, Qinong nodded directly.

"Two days ago, I did see a little girl near Snowfall Lake."

"However, she didn't communicate with me much, and I'm not sure if she is the person you are looking for."

Hearing this, Cao Xing turned around and looked at Liu Muxue, and joy appeared in the eyes of both of them.

In this icy and snowy Luoxue Lake, where few people go, basically not many people come here.

This little girl is most likely Elisa!

Cao Xing asked, "Mr. Qinong, did you see where she went?"

Qinong nodded and pointed to a grove of trees beside the lake.

"The little girl ended up entering that forest and never came out again."

Cao Xing nodded, and then said with a serious expression, "Mr. Qinong, I am a lord nearby, my name is Cao Xing, and I am very grateful for your information!"

Qinon also straightened up, clenched his right fist and replied, "Qinon Dutra, an old retired soldier, thanks you for the bait too."

Cao Xing nodded and was about to take his people away.

Qinong then said, "Wait a minute, Lord Cao Xing, do you still have this kind of bait?"

Cao Xing nodded with a thoughtful look in his eyes, "Yes, there are some, but not much."

Qinong thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, you give me all the remaining bait, and you go find the little girl, and I'll fish here."

"When you come back, we'll split the salmon we caught into 40% and 60%."

"I'll take four and you'll take six."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned.

After thinking about it, he felt that this transaction was not a loss for him.

So, Cao Xing agreed directly: "Okay."

He gave the remaining six [special pet food] in his backpack to Qinong.

As for whether he would regret taking his things, Cao Xing was not too worried.

After all, for a strong man of Qinong's level, there is no need to ruin his character for such a small thing.

Moreover, the other party also told me a piece of information of inestimable value, which would not be a loss even if I gave him all the pet food.

[Because of your gift: Qinon Dutra's favorability towards you has increased, and his attitude has changed to: Friendly. ]

Cao Xing was delighted and his favorability increased again.

It is very good to establish a good relationship with such a powerful indigenous people.

Qinong resumed fishing.

Cao Xing also led his people to the forest he pointed to.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dabai ran all the way with Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.

After moving forward at high speed for about a few kilometers along the lake.

Finally we arrived at the outskirts of the woods.

There grows an unknown tree here, with lush branches and leaves, but it is covered with thick snow.

There is a lot of snow on the ground, and there are traces of various animals walking around. I should be able to find clues to Elisa through these traces.

Cao Xing gave the order directly: "Search around here, especially for human footprints."

The men obeyed the order and started to move around.

Only the aloof Hilda still followed Cao Xing, seeming to be disdainful of doing such a thing.

Cao Xing frowned.

He really had a headache regarding these recruited creatures that selectively followed orders.

Fortunately, Hilda was still willing to carry out other instructions.

This has to do with Hilda's current loyalty and her arrogant personality.

As the queen of a tribe, she has her own pride.

"Forget it. I'll think of a way to remind her of her loyalty later."

Shaking his head, Cao Xing sat on the back of the mammoth and headed into the forest.

Along the way, whenever they saw a bird's nest on a tree, they would let Dabai stretch out his nose and take out the bird eggs inside.

After a while, we collected 17 eggs and 57 feathers.

Liu Muxue behind him couldn't help laughing. She was used to Cao Xing's style of taking advantage of others.

A few minutes later, Knight Assam came over and reported: "My Lord, we found human footprints not far ahead. They seem to lead to the depths of the forest."

After hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up immediately.

He shouted, "Come back!"

Hearing Cao Xing's voice, the men regrouped.

Then they came to the place where the footprints were found in Assam.

Following the footprints, they began to move deeper into the forest.

After winding along the forest for about two kilometers, Cao Xing suddenly discovered that there were more footprints nearby.

In addition to human footprints, there are also cow hoof prints.

Cao Xing's eyes lit up immediately, "Could it be that this little girl really found the legendary Cloud Colored Bull?"

According to Danny, the villager, the Cloudy Calf is an extremely rare creature with astonishing value.

If Cao Xing can catch two cloud-colored bulls this time, he will make a fortune!

With excitement, Cao Xing followed the footsteps all the way forward.

After advancing about three hundred meters, the clue broke again.

There was only a patch of cow hoof prints here, which looked disorganized, as if it had been frightened by something.

The snow on the trees nearby was shaken down, making the search more difficult.

Seeing this scene, Archer Renis also directly activated the [Hunting Eye] skill.

After this skill is made permanent by [Eternal Power], Renis can maintain it all the time or keep it activated all the time, which is a good way to find clues.

At this moment, her hawk-like eyes swept around again.

It wasn't long before she locked onto an area in the northwest.

"My Lord, I sense the presence of a group of creatures over there."

Hearing this, Cao Xing nodded, and then led the team directly towards the forest area.

And at this moment, Renee suddenly reminded him.

"Someone is there."

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn.

Cao Xing also saw a figure wrapped in a white wool coat, wearing wool gloves and a hat, next to a huge tree in front of him.

She looked like a little lamb, with white hair, blending in with the snow.

Cao Xingshun scanned her information.

[Hogg Villager: Elisa lv5]

[Power: Ice Crystal Kingdom]

[Level: Level 1 Ordinary Creature]

[HP: 240/240]

[Skills: None]

【Talent: None】

"That's her."

Cao Xing felt relieved. He never thought that Elisa had actually lived alone in this snowy place for so many days.

He led the people straight over.

However, after seeing Cao Xing and others approaching, the figure quickly crawled out from under the shelter of a huge tree next to him.

She raised her hands above her head, constantly signaling Cao Xing and others not to come over.

Cao Xing thought for a moment and shouted, "Stop."

The team stopped, and the figure on the opposite side seemed to be relieved, then came to Cao Xing cautiously.

At the same time, Cao Xing also saw her face clearly.

It was a fair, slightly chubby face with delicate features and two ponytails.

The most striking thing about her is her pair of eyes as bright as sapphires, her long eyelashes fluttering constantly, and her whole person exudes a youthful and lively aura.

Just as Danny said, her skin was excellent and looked as clean as a pebble.

At this moment, the little girl Elisa looked at Cao Xing and his group. There was no fear in her eyes, but curiosity instead.

Without waiting for her to speak, Cao Xing said directly: "Elisa, I am here to find you on behalf of your father Mel."

"You haven't been home for a few days, and he's already worried."

Hearing this, Elisa's eyes flashed with guilt, and then she pouted, "Oh! I told my father not to come to me!"

"Goddess of the Moon! He actually invited powerful warriors like you to come all the way to Snowfall Lake."

She seemed to remember something and asked tentatively, "Well... may I ask how many crowns did my father spend to invite you here?"

Cao Xing shook his head. "No, we didn't take his crowns."

Hearing this, Elisa breathed a sigh of relief, then showed her little fangs at the corners of her mouth, "Then you are a pretty good person."

Cao Xing couldn't help laughing.

Old Mel didn't pay any money, but he sold himself to Cao Xing.

Liu Muxue beside him also said softly, "Hello, Elisa."

Elisa noticed Liu Muxue behind Cao Xing and exclaimed in surprise.

"By the Moon! What do I see? A woman of godly beauty!"

"Excuse me, are you the princess from the Kingdom of Ice Crystal?"

She looked at Liu Muxue with starry eyes and excitement.

Liu Muxue smiled, then shook her head slowly and said, "Elisa, I am not the princess of the Ice Crystal Kingdom. We are the lords of the nearby country."

"Now, let's go back to Hogg Village. Your father is waiting for you."
