"Let me do it."
Cao Xing's voice rang out.
Everyone looked at the young man sitting on the back of the mammoth with blank eyes.
Originally, Cao Xing didn't want to get involved in this matter.
But he thought of the ghost of the girl in Annohe Village.
Behind these hunters is a family.
If it weren't for family and responsibility, who would be willing to risk their lives to hunt in such a place?
Moreover, for Cao Xing, rescuing a second-level hunter was just a piece of cake.
He simply flipped over and jumped off the mammoth's back.
In the puzzled eyes of the group of hunters.
He walked over, took out a bottle of Yuncai calf milk from his backpack and fed it to him.
The next moment, the hunter's complexion recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the injuries on his body began to improve.
The other hunters were shocked when they saw this scene.
As Cao Xing pulled the arrow out of his back, two damage numbers of over two hundred rose.
Then, he was directly fed a bottle of [Improved Life Secret Medicine].
At this moment, vigorous vitality bloomed in his body.
The hunter quickly became active.
Everyone looked at this scene with shock on their faces.
"Gods be upon us, Ainaji is alive! This sir saved him!"
"Oh my god! The medicine this gentleman gave him is so miraculous that it can actually bring a dying man back to life."
"I think I've seen this kind of medicine before. A bottle costs thousands of kronor, and the effect is not as good as this one. This bottle of medicine is worth tens of thousands of kronor at least!"
Upon hearing this number, all the hunters on the field held their breath!
For these hunters, tens of thousands of kronor is almost their total income for one or two years.
They couldn't even imagine drinking so many kronor from a bottle of secret medicine.
At this time, the hunter who was treated by Cao Xing also heard the discussion of other hunters.
I immediately realized how valuable what I just drank was.
He immediately knelt on his knees, put his head on the ground, and said with great emotion: "Thank you... Thank you, this kind sir..."
"Sir, please give me an address. I will try my best to save money and return the cost of this bottle of medicine to you as soon as possible."
[Because you rescued the hunter from Nice Town: Ainaji, your favorability towards him has increased. Current favorability: Friendly]
Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing waved his hands and said, "No big deal, you don't need to pay me back."
After all, tens of thousands of kronor is a huge sum for these hunters, and it may take them several years to save it.
But for Cao Xing, who has a master-level alchemist, this consumption is nothing.
"While it's still light, hurry back and reunite with your families."
When the hunters heard about their families, their expressions gradually softened.
They looked at each other.
The hunter rescued by Cao Xing seemed to have made some kind of decision.
"Sir, to thank you for your help, we would like to tell you a piece of news."
Cao Xing asked in confusion: "What news?"
"In this mountain range, there lives an extremely rare magical creature, the Frost Moose!"
"It's the mysterious creature we're tracking."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was suddenly shocked.
However, he didn't know what level of creature the frost moose was, nor had he seen what such a creature looked like.
However, he did have a piece of frost moose hind leg meat in his backpack.
And the meat is of golden quality. Just eating one piece can increase your ice attack power by 5%. It is very powerful!
You can imagine how valuable a whole frost moose is.
Even far surpassed the Yuncai Niu!
Cao Xing asked, "Where did you get the news?"
The hunter immediately replied, "It's Baron Ondre."
"The Baron's Mansion has received news that a frost elk has appeared in the Tygern Mountains, and he is inviting hunters from all the villages and towns to come to the mountains to search for this frost elk."
"The baron promised that if we can find the moose, he will give us a house in the city and a reward of 100,000 crowns!"
"So many hunters came to the Tygern Mountains, hoping to try their luck."
Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed a look of realization.
The hunter continued, "Sir, it is said that this magical camel has great power."
"They spit out extremely lethal frost. One spit can freeze a squadron of a hundred men."
"If it can be tamed, it can be a powerful weapon on the battlefield, so the Baron tried every means to find this moose."
Cao Xing nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for the information."
The hunters looked at each other and said, "Sir, you are very polite. We should thank you."
"Well, sir, we are going back home now and will not disturb you any more."
"May the mountain god protect you."
Cao Xing nodded.
After saying that, the group of hunters quickly left from another direction.
Cao Xing returned to Dabai's back and pondered for a moment.
There are frost moose in the [Tiger Mountains], and this is very important news.
And according to this group of hunters, frost moose can be tamed.
If possible, Cao Xing also wanted to catch this legendary creature instead of killing it directly.
After all, a frost deer is certainly worth more alive than dead.
However, they have no clues at the moment.
So many hunters have tried to find it in the mountains but haven't found it. Although Cao Xing is confident in his luck, the [Tigern Mountains] is too large and the hope of finding it is slim.
And the most urgent task now is to meet up with Elisa and find the group of cloud-colored cattle.
So he simply said, "Let's go on."
"Sarah, go ahead and explore the way."
Sarah nodded slightly and then disappeared on the spot.
The group continued to move forward and climbed over two more high mountains.
“Crack! Crack!”
The mammoth's huge hooves stepped on the frozen mountain road, and its terrifying weight crushed all the stones and branches on the ground.
At this time, Cao Xing saw a bird's nest on a branch in the distance.
He asked Baymax to stop.
Then use the [Fling Hook] to jump up.
All at once I saw seven or eight fist-sized bird eggs quietly placed in the bird's nest!
"What a big bird egg!"
Cao Xing was shocked.
Before he could make a move, a loud hissing sound came from the sky.
"quack!"
Two large white birds were circling in the air, making strange, shrill cries.
He seemed both anxious and angry.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing did not take the bird eggs away, but quietly slid down from the tree.
After all, these are just ordinary bird eggs, each equivalent to 5 units of food at most, and the value is not high.
After he left, the two big birds quickly returned to the nest and stopped singing.
Cao Xing said, "Let's go, keep moving forward."
The group climbed over another hill.
At this moment, Cao Xing heard all kinds of chaotic noises coming from a valley ahead.
Various shouts echoed in the valley.
Sarah appeared and said, "My Lord, there is something happening ahead."
"What's going on?"
"It seems like a group of cave dwellers, a group of mole people, and some snow barbarians are fighting. There are about 1,000 to 2,000 of them."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned.
"My goodness, a fight between one or two thousand people, and three different factions at that, this is really chaotic."
"Sarah, do you know why they started the war?"
She shook her head. "I don't know, Lord."
Cao Xing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Ignore those guys, let's go find Elisa first."
"Yes, sir."
After saying that, Cao Xing changed direction and bypassed the troubled area ahead.
Then he walked straight towards where Elisa was.
After that, there were no accidents.
They soon came to the side of a high mountain.
Then we went down the mountain again, and the terrain suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.
Dabai carefully carried Cao Xing and Liu Muxue on his back and slowly walked down.
When they all landed, Cao Xing appeared in a valley.
There are fallen rocks everywhere.
In the valley, there grow tall silver fir trees and some unknown plants.
An unfrozen stream flows out from the depths of the valley and extends to the foot of the mountain.
Various white weeds grew along the banks of the stream.
From time to time, one or two large white birds whose names I couldn't tell flew across the sky.
The scene before my eyes was too beautiful.
"Sure enough, the scenery in the mountains is pretty nice."
"If it were on Blue Star, opening a camping base here would definitely be a big hit."
Cao Xing thought happily.
At the same time, the system prompt appears.
[You have discovered a new area: Predator Valley]
(This is where a group of looters gather. They often rob passing guilds and hunters. They are so powerful that even the noble knights will choose to bypass this area.)
…
Seeing the map introduction, Cao Xing thought to himself, "The map says that this is a gathering place for a group of looters and bandits?"
"It sounds pretty brutal."
However, he didn't care.
With his strength, although he is not invincible, there are not many creatures in this mountain range that can threaten him.
Moreover, the fact that they were reduced to running to the mountains to become bandits shows that the opponent's strength is not that strong.
It would be fine if they don't provoke me, but if they dare to provoke me, Cao Xing doesn't mind letting them learn a lesson.
Cao Xing turned on the communicator and asked, "Elissa, we have arrived at the Raiders' Valley. Where are you now?"
“Sizzle…sizzle…”
Soon, Elisa's clear voice came to my ears.
"My Lord, do you see the stream in the valley?"
“I see.”
After hearing this, Elisa said happily, "Then go upstream along this stream. When you reach the end, you will see a pool of water. I am nearby."
"You must move slowly when you come here, or you will scare the bulls away."
Cao Xing replied: "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Cao Xing looked at his subordinates and pets behind him.
"Wally, Baymax, you two wait here for us."
"Everyone else, follow me."
The two giant beasts nodded meekly, then walked obediently to the foot of a silver fir tree and waited silently.
Cao Xing led everyone and walked slowly towards the depths of the mountains.
Since the route was clear, they only had to follow the stream upstream.
After ten minutes, we had advanced about one or two kilometers.
Ahead, you can faintly hear the sound of gurgling water.
Although I don't know why the running water here is not frozen.
But it sounded as if we had reached the pool of water that Elisa had mentioned.
However, due to the large number of silver fir trees growing nearby, the specific scene could not be seen.
Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear.
"Elissa, we're almost there."
After hearing the sound, something seemed to move a few times on the branches of a silver fir tree not far away.
Then, a figure in a blue and white coat appeared.
She slid down like a little raccoon, holding on to the thick tree trunk.
Then he waved his hand and walked quickly towards Cao Xing and others.
This figure is Elisa!
The girl's face was flushed and there was a look of joy on her face.
Cao Xing also led his men towards her.
After the reunion, little Chuchu walked over first, holding Elisa's hand excitedly.
"Sister Elisa, I'm glad to see you at last. I'm glad you're okay!"
She said proudly, "Hehe! Captain Elisa is very powerful. How could anything go wrong? Even the Lord has to rely on me!"
"Yeah, Captain Elisa is the best!"
Because Elisa often brags to Tong Chuchu, the little girl admires her very much.
Cao Xing also smiled and said, "Elisa, thank you for your hard work."
Even Liu Muxue praised Elisa's performance this time.
Facing everyone's admiration, the little girl lowered her head in embarrassment and smiled foolishly.
Cao Xing continued to ask: "Elisa, where are the herd of steers?"
Hearing this, she seemed to come back to her senses.
He quickly pointed to the forest behind and whispered, "Go through this forest and you'll see the pool of water."
"There's a lot of moss growing on the shore, and the steers are grazing there."
Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.
"There's still a lot of moss grass? That's great! Now we can solve the problem of grass for the steers!"
Cao Xing said, "Elisa, take us there."
"OK."
Elisa turned around and said, "Lord, please be gentle."
After saying that, she lowered her body and tiptoed forward.
Everyone followed her slowly.
Then, deep in the valley, they saw the pool of water that Elisa had described.
A small waterfall falls from the top of the mountain, like a white silk falling, with water droplets splashing and stirring up layers of white mist.
The area of this pond is not large, and mist is floating on its surface, making it look fairy-like, like a scene from a dream.
Cao Xing glanced around.
[Living Pond Water: Pond water that is tainted with an unknown aura. It won't freeze easily, but it doesn't seem to have any special effects.]
Cao Xing turned his eyes away from the pool of water which had no special function and continued to look around.
Then, he saw a large amount of pink and purple [Moses grass] growing on the shore.
And a group of blue and white figures are among them.
It is the cloud-colored ox.
Cao Xing felt ecstatic.
At this time, they were eating happily beside the pond and were completely unaware of the arrival of Cao Xing and others.
Cao Xing counted and found that it was exactly as Elisa said.
There are 59 yaks here, big and small!
This is an astonishing number, more than three times the number of cattle in the territory.
Cao Xing even wanted to rush over on the spot and catch all these Yuncai cattle in one swoop.
But before that, there is a problem.
That is, to prevent the cattle from escaping.
Last time, Cao Xing and others missed a large number of cattle.
So this time, we need to think of a foolproof plan before taking action.
Using control skills like [Thousand Miles of Ice] will definitely not work.
The level of this group of Yuncai cattle is too low, and Cao Xing and others could kill them instantly with one attack.
Therefore, you can only use control skills like Hilda's [Soul Scream] which do not cause damage.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing came up with an idea.
"Rhaenys, go and attack Braum's shield 19 times first."
"Andrew, you should still transform into a tree man as before and soothe the emotions of those steers."
"Others, follow me and approach this herd of yak from different directions."
Hearing this, everyone on the field took action.
Andrew directly cast [Tree Form].
“Blah…”
A breath of life emanated from his body.
Its body was rapidly growing taller, and dense branches and leaves were growing on its head.
Soon, it turned into an ash tree about three meters tall.
Andrew walked out and slowly approached the bulls.
When the herd of yaks saw Andrew transformed into a tree man, they looked puzzled.
The calves among them stared ahead with their bell-like eyes, curiously.
Among them, there is a Yuncai yak that is obviously stronger than the other yak and looks like the leader of the herd.
“Moo…moo…”
It made a low sound, as if warning Andrew not to get close.
There was a commotion among the herd.
Andrew stayed where he was, constantly soothing the cattle, trying his best to attract their attention.
At the same time.
Cao Xing, Liu Muxue and a total of 13 people slowly approached the group of cattle from various angles.
At this moment, the strong Yuncai yak seemed to sense something.
He quickly turned his head and looked around.
Then, it saw the tall Assam and the people surrounding them from all directions.
In an instant, the bull's eyes widened, and a sense of crisis enveloped the whole body!
The sturdy Yuncai yak uttered a loud sound.
“Moo—”
All of a sudden, there was a violent commotion among the cattle!
They all looked around and saw the group of humans that suddenly appeared.
Then he started running without hesitation!
"Boom! Boom!"
The sound of chaotic footsteps echoed wildly in the valley.
The cattle began to flee in all directions.
Four or five of them were rushing towards Assam.
Cao Xing saw this and quickly ordered: "Asam, use the Frostwolf sword energy, and be careful not to hurt these yak bulls!"
“Yes, sir!”
The knight swung his sword without hesitation.
“Swish!”
The sword energy swept across, plowing a ditch nearly one or two meters deep in the ground in front!
And it landed on a spruce tree in the distance, chopping it off directly!
"BOOM!"
The spruce tree collapsed on the spot.
When the bulls saw the terrifying killing power of this knight, fear appeared in their eyes and they decisively gave up breaking out in that direction.
In other directions, large herds of cattle were also rushing over.
Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly gave orders.
"Jonathan, Jonathan, each of you block one direction and use the Ice Dragon Spear to break through!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two Dragon Blood Warriors raised their spears and thrust them forward!
"Boom! Boom!"
In an instant!
Two ice pillars, two meters thick and 65 meters long, appeared and blocked two directions!
Now, the herd of cattle only had one direction left to escape.
And in that direction, it seemed that no one was blocking the road.
The Yuncai cattle had almost no time to think, and all of them subconsciously ran towards the gap.
And at this moment.
A strong man with naked upper body and holding a huge shield suddenly jumped out.
Braum lifted up his greatshield and laughed, "Aha! Mavericks, look here!"
The cattle all stopped and looked at the big guy Braum in horror!
"call out!"
An arrow hit his shield, and he was hit 20 times in total.
The next moment, the eye on the [Evil Eye Shield] opened.
An evil and powerful aura suddenly spread across the valley.
All the bulls seemed to have seen something horrible, and stood still as if they had been electrocuted.
59 cattle were all captured!
This is the power of the [Eyes Opening] special effect!
A strong look of joy appeared on Cao Xing's face.
Then he quickly gave the order: "Muxue, Chuchu, use the pet contract on these steers, quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, the three figures turned into afterimages and all rushed out.
They took out pet contracts from their backpacks and used them on the steers in front of them.
[This contract has failed. The primary contract scroll has disappeared...]
[This contract has failed. The primary contract scroll has disappeared...]
After two consecutive defeats, Cao Xing was not discouraged at all.
He took out another contract scroll and used it directly.
[Ding! Contract successful, Magical Creature: Cloudy Calf lv18, has become your pet, Territory population +1]
…
"Finally succeeded in the first one!"
Cao Xing was delighted.
The tamed Yuncai ox's eyes suddenly regained clarity and it stood obediently aside.
Tong Chuchu and Liu Muxue were not to be outdone.
After failing two or three times in a row, I finally succeeded on the first one!
[Ding! Your territory member: Tong Chuchu successfully used the pet contract. Magical creature: Cloudy Calf lv16 has become your territory creature. Territory population +1]
[Ding! Your subordinate lord: Liu Muxue successfully used the pet contract. Magical creature: Cloudy Calf lv19 has become your territory creature. Territory population +1]
…
"Chu Chu, Mu Xue, you're doing great, keep it up!"
Cao Xing praised.
The two girls also showed happy smiles on their faces.
They also know that the milk of the Yuncai calf is of amazing value and can bring a lot of profits to the territory!
Then, he began to use the contract more vigorously on this group of cattle!
Braum's [Eye Opening] special effect has a control time of 1 to 5 seconds. Against these Cloudy Tyrannosaurus with only second-level strength, it is of course the longest control time.
During these five seconds, Cao Xing and others almost did not stop for a moment and began to use the pet contract frantically.
[Ding! Contract successful...]
[Ding! Contract successful...]
System prompts appear one after another.
The five-second control time is about to end.
Together, the three of them failed 53 times and succeeded 16 times!
This means that they directly captured 16 Yuncai cattle this time!
Cao Xing was very excited.
You know, there were only 19 Cloud-colored cattle in his territory, and this time it was almost doubled!
However, this is less than one-third of the number of bulls on the field.
It is still far from reaching Cao Xing's goal!
At this moment, there was commotion among the herd again.
Those cattle are about to be released from control.
Cao Xing was not at all flustered, and immediately gave the order: "Xilda, Soul Scream!"
Upon receiving the order, the beautiful Blood Spider Queen slowly opened her dark purple lips and let out a scream.
"ah!!!"
Instantly, the red sound waves began to spread like a substance.
The uncontracted Yuncai bulls on the field seemed to have heard a terrifying sound. They were frightened like headless flies and started running around crazily!
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The cows were running wildly and charging forward.
Cao Xing continued to give orders: "Everyone, block the gap and don't let these bulls escape."
After receiving the order, everyone picked up their weapons and defended their own positions.
Berjie Sunstrider holds a giant axe in his hand, and exudes a destructive aura!
Victoria's body was filled with spiritual energy, and the surrounding snow, wind and fallen leaves were spinning rapidly around her.
The power of the dark moon on Sarah next to her gave people a sense of deadly danger.
Including Isabel, Hilda and others, the aura on their bodies is very terrifying.
This made the group of Yuncai cattle dare not get close at all!
He could only keep changing his position on the spot and then wander around in disorder.
Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly ordered: "Muxue, Chuchu, continue to use the pet contract."
After saying that, the three of them rushed over directly and started using the contract on the chaotic herd of cattle.
[Contract failed...]
[Contract failed...]
[Ding! Contract successful! ]
…
System prompts keep appearing, and almost one out of every three will be successful.
At the same time, as time goes by, Cao Xing's population is also increasing.
The control time of [Soul Scream] is longer, but these bulls will run around randomly, so the efficiency is not as high as expected.
After 40 seconds, Cao Xing had caught 47 of the 59 Yuncai yak on the field.
Only the last 12 were left, and they were still running around!
By this time, the control time of [Soul Scream] will also be over.
Cao Xing was not panicked when he saw this.
After all, he has a lot of control skills among his subordinates, and these skills do not come with damage.
Hilda used [Net], Isabelle used [Holy Ring], and Andrew used [Entangled Roots].
Cao Xing even has a killing hand-sword himself - the ancient weapon, the primitive cube.
So, for the first time, he took out the black Rubik's Cube from his backpack.
Then I clicked on Use directly.
In an instant, a small black dot appeared about 50 meters in front of Cao Xing, which was the center of the group of cloud-colored yak.
The moment this black spot appeared, a strong suction force appeared!
…
