The baby-faced girl next to him said excitedly, "Sister Mu Xue is so beautiful! I've wanted to take a photo with her for a long time, but I never had the chance when I was in Hong Kong."

"Sister Mu Xue, can you fulfill my wish?"

Hearing this, Liu Muxue, who was sitting on the back of the mammoth, was stunned for a moment, and then a gentle smile appeared on her face.

Liu Muxue looked at Cao Xing, as if asking for his opinion.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Liu Muxue nodded, then slowly jumped off the mammoth's back.

After the two took a simple photo, Yao Yan's pink face showed a satisfied look, and he said excitedly: "That's great, I finally took a photo with Goddess Mu Xue..."

Cao Xing smiled and didn't stay for long.

After saying goodbye to Yao Yiming, he led his team forward.

He glanced at the map.

From his current location, he is still 120 kilometers away from Ji Xinyue's territory.

In other words, it will take at least another hour and a half to arrive.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "There is more than enough time, but we need to speed up and make good use of the development time during the day."

So he ordered: "Everyone, follow the mammoth and move forward at full speed."

"Baymax, start sprinting!"

Dabai heard Cao Xing's command and started running wildly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every step he took showed amazing power.

Yao Yiming and Yao Qin, on the other hand, stood there, looking at the backs of Cao Xing and the others, sighing in their hearts.

"Boss Cao Xing is really strong... His territory must be much better developed than ours."

Yao Yiming sighed and said, "If I could join his territory, I wouldn't have to worry about this happening anymore, right?"

Yao Qi, who was standing by, said in a silly manner, "Brother, what do you mean? Are we going to join his territory?"

Yao Yiming shook his head, "I just said it casually, we don't know whether they want us or not."

"Let's go, go back and make the most of the time to develop our territory..."

…

Cao Xing and his companions were running at high speed in the snowy plain, making quite a lot of noise.

The white chocobos, frost moose, and other animals they encountered along the way, after sensing their might from a distance, were frightened and fled in all directions.

Cao Xing originally wanted to kill a few frost camels to supplement his meat supply, but he gave up the idea after seeing this scene.

What a waste of time.

At the same time, as Cao Xing and others advanced in a mighty manner, some survivors occasionally discovered Cao Xing along the way.

There are still 32,000 people left in the entire 174th District, and at least 8,000 territories.

In an area of ​​500 km*500 km, the population density is still very high.

So it's normal to meet other lords.

They were all amazed at this powerful team and thought they had encountered the natives of this world.

For a moment, no one dared to get close.

Of course, even if they wanted to get closer it would be useless, because with Cao Xing's movement speed, he was able to easily leave these survivors behind him.

The team moved forward at full speed.

Along the way, Cao Xing encountered two or three villages. The defenses of these villages seemed much stronger than that of Hogg Village.

Cao Xing did not go in, but memorized the locations of these villages.

One hour later.

Cao Xing and others stopped in front of a glacier.

The map shows that this place is called the Leyte River.

The river is about seven or eight kilometers wide, which is considered a big river.

At the same time, Cao Xing also saw a group of figures, pulling carriages and goods, walking carefully on the ice.

Cao Xing's team also slowed down their pace, and then ordered, "Sarah, go find out the identities of those people."

Before Sarah could do anything, Asam came over and said, "My Lord, they are a group of merchants, they seem to be from the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce."

"Lunar God Chamber of Commerce?"

Cao Xing thought about it.

The Luna Chamber of Commerce, like the Black Lion Chamber of Commerce, is one of the three largest chambers of commerce in the Western Continent.

These wandering merchants may have some strange or special things in their hands.

Moreover, even if there was nothing good, he just happened to have a bunch of miscellaneous items that he needed to sell and exchange for crowns to buy food.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing made up his mind.

"Let's go and take a look."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The team approached the caravan.

At the same time, seeing Cao Xing and others coming, the Chamber of Commerce also slowed down its pace.

Dozens of knights in silver armor came to the front of the caravan and protected seven or eight carriages behind them.

Cao Xing glanced at the information above the heads of this group of people.

[Lunar Chamber of Commerce Guard Captain: Benic lv24]

[Race: Human]

[Level: Level 3 Elite]

[Attack power: 1533~1575]

[Armor: 305~354]

[Skills: Imperial Swordsmanship, Thrust, Silver Blade. ]

【Talent: None】

…

[Luna Merchant Guild Guard: Jamel lv23]

[Race: Human]

[Level: Level 3 Ordinary Creature]

[Attack power: 1279~1298]

[Armor: 257~276]

[Skills: Battle Axe Mastery, Dissection]

【Talent: None】

…

After taking a look at the attributes of these guards, Cao Xing already had an idea in his mind.

Their power is similar to that of the Black Lion Chamber of Commerce. They are a group of level three creatures, which is enough for them to walk safely in the snowstorm.

However, they have more people than the Black Lion Chamber of Commerce.

Seeing the huge mammoth approaching, dozens of guards became a little nervous.

Although their level is higher than that of mammoths, mammoths are too large and give people a strong sense of intimidation!

The captain of the guard drew his weapon and said in a deep voice, "This is the convoy of the Luna Chamber of Commerce. Please stop!"

Cao Xing made a gesture and the team stopped.

Then he jumped off the mammoth's back.

"Don't be nervous, we mean no harm."

Hearing this, the guards breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Although the creatures in front of them, who came from different species, did not seem as powerful as them, they gave them an extremely strong sense of oppression.

If a conflict does break out, they are not sure they can defeat the other side.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

At the same time, a shrill male voice rang out from the carriage behind him, "Benik, who are those people outside?"

Before the guard captain could answer, another voice came from inside.

"Don't communicate with strangers casually. The rangers in the Snowstorm are very powerful. They like to disguise themselves as ordinary people, approach the chambers of commerce, and then rob their goods."

Hearing this, the guards of the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce became a little nervous.

And he looked at Cao Xing and the group of people behind him with a scrutinizing gaze.

Cao Xing shook his head. "I'm not a hunter. I'm a lord. These are my men."

"I saw your caravan, so I wanted to trade with you, hoping to exchange some supplies."

The guards breathed a sigh of relief again.

The guard captain named Benike turned around and said, "Master Jovan, the man outside claims to be a lord and wants to trade with our Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce."

"trade?"

Hearing this, the carriage behind moved.

Then a middle-aged man with a barrel-shaped body, wearing a thick cotton coat and about 1.6 meters tall quickly emerged from inside.

As soon as he came out, he lifted his beer belly and then looked at Cao Xing with a scrutinizing gaze.

Seems to be the person in charge of this caravan.

And Cao Xing also took a look at this guy's attributes.

[Lunar God Chamber of Commerce: About 10,000 lv10]

[Race: Human]

[HP: 740/740]

【Attack power: 53~57】

[Skills: bargaining, negotiation, threats, intimidation, blackmail. ]

【Talent: None】

【Status: Drunk】

…

Cao Xing is happy.

Another drunkard. Why do these businessmen seem to look the same?

Moreover, looking at Jovan's skill list, he is not a good person!

It's probably much more difficult than Hilton.

Jovan asked in a bored tone, "You guys want to trade with our Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce?"

Cao Xing nodded, "I have a batch of goods to sell, would you like to buy them?"

Hearing this, Jowan narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Xing carefully.

"Let me take a look at what this cargo is."

Cao Xing nodded, and then a pile of [viscous liquid] appeared in his hand.

Last time in the caveman cave, he obtained a total of 673 balls of sticky liquid. According to Hilton's price of 50 crowns, he could sell them for tens of thousands of crowns.

However, when Jovan saw what he held in his hand, his interest waned.

"Oh, this is it? We do accept it. How much do you have?"

Cao Xing replied: "More than 600 copies."

After hearing this number, Jovan perked up a little, and then said, "That's it, we usually buy this liquid at 5 crowns."

"Since you ordered a lot, I can raise it to 6 crowns."

The corners of Cao Xing's mouth twitched. This guy really dared to make such an offer.

You know, last time Hilton offered a price of 50 kronor.

But this Jowan directly reduced it to one tenth. It's a shame that he dared to say it out loud.

Cao Xing shook his head, collected the sticky liquid, and then took out a yellowish, smooth stone from his backpack.

This is an Amber Pebble, which I found next to the Giant Chamber of Commerce's carriage last time.

"How much is this?"

Jovan took a look and was also attracted by the light and smooth color of the amber pebble.

But he was well-informed and remained calm. "500 kronor."

Hearing the price, Cao Xing shook his head again, and then he took out the gilded candlestick from his backpack.

"How much is this?"

The exquisite gilded candlesticks glow golden in the snow.

Jovan observed and reported directly: "200 kronor."

As Yu Wan quoted prices one by one, Cao Xing had a rough idea in his mind.

This guy is so fucking heartless!

Cao Xing dared to bet that he would definitely lower the price to one tenth, or even lower.

But, business is all about bargaining with each other.

If Cao Xing was not satisfied with the price, he would just not sell it to her. There was no need to be angry with the businessman.

At this time, Yowan became impatient, "Are you going to sell it or not? We are very busy and need to find a place to stay before dark."

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "The price you offered is too low. I don't see your sincerity in wanting to trade."

Jovan listened and pretended to be disdainful and said, "My price is still low? Go ask around. The offer from the Moon Goddess Chamber of Commerce is the highest among all the chambers of commerce."

"Even if you go to other chambers of commerce, the price will be the same, and it may even be lower."

This guy sounded so convincing that most people would actually believe him.

Cao Xing shook his head. "The price you offered is too low. Let me show you one last thing."

After saying that, he took out a gem from his backpack that was as smooth as jade and emitting a powerful magical aura.

It is the [Moonlight Orb] obtained when decomposing the Magic Pattern Stone Altar.

When Jowan saw the gem emitting white light in Cao Xing's hand, his eyes widened immediately!

"This is... this is the Moonlight Orb that all the great wizards love. It's so big and of such high quality!"

"This will definitely fetch a very high price at the Mage Guild!"

At this point, Jovan quickly covered his mouth.

He seemed to realize that he had let something slip, and quickly explained, "However, only great wizards would collect this kind of orb, and they usually have other substitutes embedded in their staffs, so it is not easy to sell it..."

Cao Xing was happy. The more this Jowan tried to conceal himself, the more precious the Moonlight Pearl was.

Although Cao Xing can also use this gem for himself, he can embed it on weapons to increase damage.

However, only one gem can be inlaid on a weapon, and Cao Xing has three, so the other two can be sold.

At this moment, Yowan gradually regained his composure and asked, "Lord, are you willing to sell the Moonlight Orb in your hand?"

He no longer called Cao Xing "boy", and his tone no longer had the condescending tone it had before.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "It depends on the price you offer."

Jovan thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I'll bleed once, 20,000 crowns, and I'll take this gem!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing rolled his eyes, then turned around and left with his team.

“Wait… wait a minute!”

Cao Xing didn't want to pay any attention to him. The price this guy offered was not a sincere one. He just wanted to take a bite of him.

Jovan immediately became anxious, "This lord, 30,000, I'll give you 30,000 crowns!"

"If it's not possible, 50,000 is fine!"

Cao Xing turned around and said, "You have no sincerity in trading. There is no need to waste our time here."

After saying this, he turned around and left with his team.

And Yowanmi used his short legs to try his best to catch up.

However, with his level 10 strength, he could not catch up with Cao Xing and others.

The merchant suddenly became anxious, looked at the guards behind him, and ordered: "Stop them for me!"

The guards seemed hesitant.

After all, they had no conflict with Cao Xing, and the other side was very powerful.

For a moment, no one moved.

Jovan immediately became angry. "You guys, now you don't even obey my orders? Be careful or I will report your disobedience to the royal family of the Kingdom of Youlan!"

"Hurry up and stop these people for me!"

The guards sighed after hearing this, then drew their weapons and blocked the way of Cao Xing's team.

Cao Xing took a look at the group's posture, then glanced at Jovan calmly and asked, "Are you sure you want to stop us?"

"When that happens, we won't be able to control the consequences."

His tone was not harsh, but it gave people a chilling feeling.

Jovan was about to speak.

But he could feel the murderous gazes from Cao Xing and his men.

At this moment, Jovan felt as if he was being stared at by a group of ferocious wolves!

It was the businessman's greedy and cowardly nature that came into play, but he glanced at the guards around him and gradually gained confidence.

Jovan snorted coldly, "Boy, don't be so arrogant. Although your men are very strong, they are all second-level creatures. Compared with my third-level guards, the gap is huge!"

"I advise you to sell the Moonlight Orb to me honestly, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself!"

When Cao Xing heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

He raised his staff.

After seeing this action, Assam and others understood something.

They were all ready to fight, and as soon as Cao Xing gave the order, they would rush over and kill the businessman.

At this moment, Jovan suddenly felt a terrifying crisis looming over him.

Sarah has already locked him in the dark. Once the fight starts, Yowan will not survive for more than a second.

Just when the battle was about to break out.

A mature female voice came from a carriage behind him, "Jovan, what are you doing?"

Hearing this voice, Yowan immediately straightened his expression.

He turned around and said respectfully to the carriage, "Madam Marita, we met a boy who claimed to be a lord. He had a moonlight pearl on him."

"I was thinking about Princess Fran. Isn't she preparing to break through to become a great wizard recently? This is a perfect gift for Princess Fran."

"snort!"

A cold snort came from inside the carriage.

"Jowan, I have reiterated many times in the meeting that the Luna Chamber of Commerce does not allow forced sales.

“And this is how you do business?

"No wonder the reputation of our Luna Chamber of Commerce is getting worse and worse, it's all because of guys like you!"

At the same time, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a noble lady wearing a gorgeous dark blue dress and a thick ermine fur came out.

There was an air of maturity in her features, and her golden hair was tied up on top of her head, with various exquisite ornaments inserted in it.

There is also a hint of competence on her face, and she looks like a strong career woman.

The noble lady looked at Jovan with a hint of anger in her eyes.

"Jovan, if I hadn't come out this time, I would have wanted to follow you on the trade route and do some investigation."

"I didn't know you guys did business this way."

"I think after this, you don't need to stay in the Luna Chamber of Commerce any longer."

After hearing the latter sentence, the smile on Jovan's face disappeared immediately, and then he shuddered and quickly knelt on the ground.

Jovan said excitedly, "Mrs. Marita, I was wrong. Please have mercy on me and don't kick me out of the Luna Chamber of Commerce!"

The businessman seemed very afraid of the noble lady in front of him.

Cao Xing took a look at the attributes of this mature woman.

[Orchid Kingdom: Marita Vegas]

[Power: Blue Kingdom]

【Level: ???】

【Attributes: ???】

【Skill:???】

【Talent: ???】

…

Apart from the name, no other attributes are visible.

Cao Xing's eyes suddenly fixed.

Because this means that the woman in front of me is likely to have a strength of more than level 30.

In other words, a fourth-level strongman!
