Elisa asked doubtfully, "With the defense power of Lake Toronto, can the rangers really attack this town?"

Cao Xing spread his hands and said, "I don't know about that, but you'd better not get close."

Seeing Cao Xing's serious look and thinking about their strength, Elisa nodded, "Okay then... I won't go to Lake Toronto."

"But...but if I don't go to Lake Toronto, where can I go?"

"My father was taken away by you. Do I have to live alone in Hog ​​Village? Wuwuwu..."

At this moment, not only Cao Xing, but also Liu Muxue beside him laughed.

She took Elisa's hand and said, "Elisa, you can go back with us."

Elisa looked up. "Really? Can I join your territory?"

Liu Muxue smiled and nodded.

Elisa cried with joy...

After a few minutes, the team was reorganized.

The crowd was divided into two groups.

19 Cloud-colored oxen stood quietly together.

Although they were forcibly tamed, the loyalty of these Yuncai cattle is only in the early 60s.

But at least I won't disobey Cao Xing's orders.

Cao Xing secretly thought about the next plan in his mind.

Next, they would take Elisa back to Hog Village, and then bring Old Mel and his cattle back to the territory.

Because the journey is long, we need to escort these cloud-colored cattle back to the territory first.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happened on the road, Cao Xing would be heartbroken.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Andrew beside him.

"Andrew, I need you to lead these steers back to our territory first. Try to avoid people and beasts on the way and ensure a safe arrival."

Andrew was soothing the cattle. Hearing this, he said with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Okay, dear lord."

Cao Xing nodded.

Andrew is now a level 16 elite creature, so he shouldn't encounter any trouble along the way.

But Cao Xing was still a little worried. After all, the Yuncai Niu was a rare magical creature and its value was too high.

For safety reasons, he looked at the Black Smoke Shaman beside him and said, "Blot, follow Andrew and ensure the safety of these Cloud-colored Bulls."

"This is our territory's property. We must not lose it."

Blot Brimstone bowed slightly and said, "I will obey your orders, my lord."

"I will take care of them like the children of the charr."

With the addition of this boss-level shaman, we shouldn't encounter any problems along the way.

"Well, Andrew, Blot, I wish you a safe journey."

The two men saluted Cao Xing one after another.

"The Lord's glory protects us."

"May the goddess of luck be with you."

After saying this, they set off with the 19 cloud-colored oxen.

Cao Xing, on the other hand, brought the other recruited creatures back to Luoxue Lake.

Now, he was going to find that powerful old man and take back his share.

Qinon Durante kept his promise and was still waiting on the ice.

When Qinong saw Cao Xing coming, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Young lord, we are very lucky. This time I caught 6 salmon, 3 grey salmon, 1 red salmon, and 2 silver salmon."

"It's a pity that we didn't catch any golden salmon this time. Maybe we need bait with a more pungent taste."

Cao Xing nodded, the harvest this time was already good.

Including the first one, there are three silver salmon in total. He can split into two. With this calculation, he can increase the health limit by 600 points and the population by 6!

As for the red salmon, Cao Xing took a look.

It also has a good effect, which can increase the health limit by 100 points, but it does not increase the population.

Qinong had a faint smile on his face, and seemed happy about today's catch.

Of course, it could also be that his wife was happy that she could soon taste her favorite fish soup.

"Lord Cao Xing, as agreed, you take 6 and I take 4. You can choose two silver salmon."

"Of course, you can also choose a silver salmon and the remaining red salmon."

After hearing this, Cao Xing said without hesitation: "I want two silver salmon."

Qinong didn't say anything because Cao Xing took advantage of him, but nodded very generously.

"Can."

He handed the two silvery salmon in the bucket to Cao Xing.

[Obtained: 3kg*1 silver salmon, obtained 4kg*1 silver salmon]

After the transaction was completed, the two parties separated.

And Cao Xing also remembered this lake in his heart.

After all, there might be a legendary weapon here: the Sword of the Lady of the Lake!

He will definitely come again if he has the chance in the future.

At the same time, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue returned to Dabai's back.

Elisa looked at the sacred mammoth with curiosity, as if she was surprised that they could tame such a creature.

But when she thought about it, this lord had tamed 19 cloud-colored steers in front of her with his own hands.

It's no surprise that they can tame a mammoth.

Cao Xing said to Liu Muxue behind him, "Muxue, let her come up too."

Little Elisa is just an ordinary person at level 5. At her speed, it will take her at least ten hours to get to Hog Village.

I don’t know how this little girl came to such a far place like Luoxue Lake alone.

Liu Muxue had asked this question tentatively before.

However, the little girl was hesitant and refused to say anything, as if she had a secret.

Cao Xing did not ask any more questions. Anyway, she would be taken into his territory soon, and then these secrets would be exposed.

At Liu Muxue's invitation, Elisa carefully climbed onto the back of the mammoth.

Then, the two girls sat behind Cao Xing together.

Now, Dabai is equivalent to eating three people at once.

But considering the combined weight of Liu Muxue and Elisa, which is no more than 180 kilograms, it is not a burden at all for Dabai.

Cao Xing gave the order: "Okay, now start moving towards Hog Village."

“Moo—”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The mammoth flicked its trunk and then took a big step forward.

The group moved forward at high speed on the ice.

Due to the absence of Andrew and Blot, the team is a little smaller than before.

But the combat capability is still strong.

They quickly stepped onto the snowfield and ran all the way towards the coordinates of Hogg Village.

A red energy was added between the mammoth's four hooves, like a galloping train.

Hilda's [Queen's Domain] plus [Queen's Will] made everyone's movement speed soar.

On the back of the mammoth, Elisa kept screaming.

"So fast...Oh my god, that's amazing!"

"It's too fast... I can't breathe!"

Cao Xing turned around helplessly and looked at the screaming little girl.

Liu Muxue seemed to realize that Elisa's words were a bit strange, and lowered her head shyly.

Elisa was completely unaware, as it was her first time riding a mammoth and was very curious about the experience.

After all, the mammoth, like the clouded yak, is an extremely rare creature.

Half an hour later...

They have advanced more than thirty kilometers.

It is about 20 kilometers away from Hoge Village.

The map showed that they had arrived near a village called Zawada.

"Another Aboriginal village discovered?"

Cao Xing was delighted.

In front of them, there appeared a village with infrastructure similar to that of Hogg Village.

There are also patrol militia and sentries in the village.

However, there are relatively few villagers, only a few people wandering around inside.

There are no cattle, sheep or fields around, so the agricultural and animal husbandry development is not as good as Hoge Village.

Cao Xing thought, "It looks like there is a tavern in the village, and I want to recruit some new people recently."

"Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Elisa said, "This is Zawada Village. My uncle lives here!"

"I can take you to my uncle's house for dinner!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing was delighted, "Free food? I like it."

"Then let's go to this Zawada village and take a look."

However, just as Cao Xing was about to go to the village, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Several militiamen standing guard on the sentry tower at the entrance of the village were staring at them with a stern gaze.

Compared with the militiamen in Hoge Village, they all looked at their subordinates with fear.

The militiamen from Zawada village were surprisingly fearless.

That's a bit strange.

"Stop."

Cao Xing gave the order directly.

The team stopped about seven or eight hundred meters away from Zawada Village.

Elisa and Liu Muxue looked at him in confusion.

"What's wrong, Xing?"

Cao Xing didn't say anything, but took out the [Snowstorm Map] from his backpack.

This was a map found in a ranger camp. Based on the location on the map, Cao Xing indeed saw that there was a dazzling sun sign where Zawada Village was located.

At this moment, Cao Xing glanced at the village calmly.

Suddenly I noticed something more was wrong.

The group of patrolling militiamen gradually gathered towards the village entrance.

Even the villagers who were walking back and forth were looking outside intentionally or unintentionally, as if they had noticed Cao Xing and the others.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "It seems that this village has long been conquered and used as a base for hunters."

"They used this village as a disguise to attract more refugees and convert them into cultists."

"If we go in now, we will inevitably have a fight with those rangers."

However, Cao Xing is confident in his own strength.

However, for this kind of battle where you have not conducted any advance investigation and do not know the details of your opponent, you should try to avoid it as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing said directly: "Let's go and send Elisa to her father first."

Although everyone was confused, they did not ask any more questions, but turned around and changed direction.

Before leaving, Cao Xing silently memorized this place.

…

At the same time.

When the militiamen of Zawada Village saw that Cao Xing and others did not enter the village, a trace of regret flashed in their eyes.

At this time, a figure in a black robe and a mask on his face appeared silently.

All the militiamen knelt down, with fanatical looks in their eyes.

"God of Light, I pay my respects to the High Priest!"

The black-robed priest nodded.

A militiaman reported: "Master Priest, that group of people did not come in. The leader seems to be a lord from another world."

The black-robed priest looked thoughtful. "Recently, more and more lords from other worlds have appeared in the Snowstorm Plains."

"I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now it seems that the growth rate of these alien lords is very terrifying."

"The plan in Lake Duolun City must be put into action immediately. We must not allow any complications to arise at this time. It seems that we should also learn more about the situation of these lords from other worlds."

He looked at the militiamen beside him with deep eyes and asked, "Are the alien lords we captured last time still alive?"

The militiaman nodded immediately and said, "He's still alive. Give him something to eat every day to keep him alive until his last breath."

The black-robed priest nodded. "Very good. Take me to see them."

…

20 minutes later...

Cao Xing and others have appeared at the entrance of Hogg Village.

The militiamen were shocked when they saw three figures sitting on the huge mammoth.

Hilda standing next to her, with her spider-like body and human upper body, made the villagers of Hogg Village feel even more frightened.

Fortunately, living in this bizarre world, they have seen even the strangest creatures.

The militia captain in the lead recognized Cao Xing and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Sir, you are here again..."

Cao Xing nodded.

He knew the rules: Hogg Village did not allow mounts and strange creatures to enter the village.

So Cao Xing asked Dabai and Hilda to wait in the shed next to the village.

When Hilda entered the shed, she immediately looked disgusted.

"Tsk... You actually let me, the queen, stay here where the beasts stay."

Cao Xing looked at her helplessly and said, "If you don't like it, you can go outside in the snow."

"We'll be back soon after we finish our work, so don't cause any trouble for me, understand?"

After hearing this, the Blood Spider Queen still had a look of disgust on her face, but she did not disobey Cao Xing's order.

Then, Cao Xing brought Assam and Renee, as well as Liu Muxue and Elisa into Hogg Village.

As for Sarah, she went straight into hiding out of habit.

A group of five people were walking on the streets of Hogg Village.

Compared with the previous village, this place is much more lively.

The pedestrians coming and going, and the vendors hawking their wares along the streets, give the village an air of fireworks.

Most of the merchants' eyes were fixed on Liu Muxue and Reneece.

Elisa is also the beauty of Hogg Village. The three girls standing together are like three beautiful flowers, attracting everyone's attention.

However, because of the tall Assam beside her and the domineering aura emanating from Renee, these merchants dared only to watch.

Under the gaze of the villagers.

Soon they crossed the first street.

While passing by a tavern on the street, Cao Xing seemed to feel that some hostile eyes were fixed on him.

These looks were somewhat similar to the ones he had received from the militiamen in Zawada Village before.

Cao Xing stopped and looked into the tavern.

However, he only saw a few drunkards sitting at the door of the tavern.

Asam asked in confusion, "My Lord, what's wrong?"

Cao Xing shook his head, "It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking it."

After all, this is Hog Village, and the group of hunters may not have infiltrated it yet.

Cao Xing continued to lead Elisa straight to Old Mel's house.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on the door, the door opened, and a thin old man walked out.

It was old Mel.

He also saw Cao Xing and Elisa behind him.

At this moment, a light appeared in old Mel's cloudy eyes.

"Elisa!"

"Father!"

Elisa rushed out instantly and threw herself into old Mel's arms.

The reunion of father and daughter, hugging and crying, should have been a touching scene.

At this moment, Old Mel raised his right hand and hit Elisa on the head twice.

The little girl was hit so hard that she covered her head with her hands and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Father...why did you hit me?"

Old Mel was so disappointed that he said, "You're asking me why I hit you?"

"I told you to run! I told you to run! If you run again next time, I'll break your legs!"

Elisa was being hammered and begging for mercy, "Father, I won't do it again. Please forgive Elisa this time."

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue laughed again.

At this time, Liu Muxue came to Elisa's rescue and said, "Mr. Mel, don't blame Elisa. She wanted to catch a cloud-colored ox and sell it, and then take you to live in a big city."

"Elisa was also acting out of filial piety."

Hearing this, Old Mel stopped hitting Elisa on the head and asked in confusion, "This beautiful lady, is what you said true?"

Elisa nodded with a look of grievance on her face.

Old Mel's heart softened, and a look of distress appeared in his eyes.

He rubbed Elisa's head and sighed, "Ah... don't do such stupid things next time."

At the same time, Old Mel also looked over and said to Cao Xing gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Cao Xing, for sending my daughter back from such a far place."

Cao Xing nodded, "Mr. Mel, you are too polite. From now on, you will be a member of our territory, and your family will naturally be our family as well."

Hearing this, Old Melton's expression straightened up, "You are right, respected Lord Cao Xing."

"Then, as we agreed yesterday, you bring Elisa back, and I will bring my cattle and sheep to your territory."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Mel, one day in the future, you will be glad for your decision."

Old Mel also said seriously: "I believe it will. The potential you have shown has surpassed any lord I have ever seen!"

Elisa, who was standing by, watched the conversation between her father and Cao Xing with watery eyes.

She interrupted, "Father, don't we villagers in Hog ​​Village need the approval of the village chief if we want to move to other places?"

Hearing this, Cao Xing asked in confusion: "Is there still such a procedure?"

Old Mel nodded and said, "Yes, Hog Village is not under the jurisdiction of any lord or noble family, so the decision of whether the villagers stay or go is entirely up to the village chief."

"If this is the power of a certain lord, the defense is not that weak."

Cao Xing nodded, then asked, "Where is the village chief?"

Old Mel looked towards the only three-story building in the center of the village. "That's the village chief's home. We can go there to look for him."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to ask the village chief for approval."

…
