In fact, Cao Xing really wanted to say that a little girl had been outside alone for two days, and there was a heavy snowfall the night before yesterday.

I'm afraid Elisa has already been frozen into a figurine.

Old Mel sighed and said, "I understand what this lord means."

"The snowfield is too dangerous at night. The temperature is simply not something that ordinary people can survive."

"But Elisa has been very smart since she was a child. She has gone out alone before and spent the night outside the village. There were several times when I thought she would not come back."

"And a few days later, this little girl appeared out of nowhere again."

"She seems to have her own survival skills, but when I asked her, she wouldn't tell me."

"So I think little Elisa should still be alive..."

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Mel."

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Snowfall Lake you mentioned to look for your daughter. Is that okay with you?"

After hearing this, Old Mel burst into tears of gratitude. "Sure, as long as the Lord can go find my daughter, it doesn't matter if it's tomorrow."

Cao Xing nodded and accepted the task.

[Successfully accepted the mission: Mel's commission, the favorability has been improved. 】

Cao Xing helped old Mel up.

After asking about some mission details, Cao Xing turned and left.

Under the gaze of Old Mel, Cao Xing and others disappeared from the street, preparing to go to the grocery store to pick up the food he bought.

On the way to the grocery store, Cao Xing thought helplessly: "I just wanted to buy a few cows, and now I have been given a mission."

He shook his head and said, "Forget it. Let's go to Luoxue Lake tomorrow to see if we can find Old Mel's daughter."

"Axing, is Luoxue Lake dangerous?" Liu Muxue asked tentatively.

Cao Xing shook his head. "I'm not sure, but there's no X on the map, which means there's not much danger."

Liu Muxue nodded slightly, feeling a little relieved.

Danny, a villager nearby, said, "Sir... I just heard from Mr. Mel that Elisa found the Cloud-colored Calf."

"This is an extremely sacred and rare creature. If it is real, you, my lord, may become very rich!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing became interested. "Oh? What does the Yuncai yak look like? What's so special about it?"

Villager Danny heard this question and rubbed his head in embarrassment, "I... I have never seen a cloud-colored yak either..."

"But I heard from adults that the Cloud-Colored Calf is just like its name, its fur is all cloud-colored satin, very soft in texture, and has strong warmth retention properties, and can even generate its own heat."

"The noble ladies in the big cities are willing to spend a fortune to buy a piece of Yuncai yak fur."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise.

This was the first time he had heard of fur that could generate heat on its own.

In this icy and snowy environment, this fur is even as useful as a piece of golden equipment.

If the Yuncai Niu was really that magical, then it would have been captured by those mercenaries, right?

He seemed to see the doubts in Cao Xing's mind.

Villager Danny explained cheerfully, "Sir, the Clouded Beef Cattle are extremely rare and hard to spot. They also don't appear in fixed locations. It's possible that you saw a group of Clouded Beef Cattle one day and they disappeared the next day."

"You can say it's something you don't seek for."

At this point, villager Danny paused, "Besides, I've also heard that the milk produced by the Cloud Cow has magical powers. It can not only beautify your skin, but also strengthen your physique!"

Cao Xing was stunned when he heard this. From what Danny meant, the milk of Yuncai calf can strengthen the physical body.

For survivors, this is a valuable resource.

Cao Xing became more determined to go to Luoxue Lake tomorrow.

"Danny, this is good information."

Cao Xing directly took out 20 crowns and gave them to Danny.

Danny's eyes widened when he saw Cao Xing take out so much money at once!

He stretched out his hands, took it tremblingly, and kept saying thank you.

Cao Xing waved his hands.

Then they came to the door of the grocery store.

The proprietress Elena had been waiting here for a long time.

At this moment, Elena was leaning lazily against the door, wrapped in a wolfskin coat, but still couldn't hide her mature charm.

Every movement seems to be able to make people fall.

Seeing the figures of Cao Xing and others, Elena's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, sir, you are finally here."

Cao Xing nodded, "Is everything ready?"

Elena said quickly, "Of course it's ready. All the food has been loaded onto your carriage. Sir, would you like to weigh it?"

Cao Xing glanced at the simple carriage at the door, which was filled with various food bags, and in front of the carriage was a black and brown Yansky horse.

He shook his head and said, "No thanks, thank you, boss lady."

Hearing Cao Xing's thanks, Elena immediately covered her face and started to giggle.

The majestic chest was shaking with laughter, which made Danny stare at it in amazement.

Elena said in a satisfied and charming manner: "My Lord, you are so polite~ Next time you come to our Hog Village, I will invite you to have a couple of drinks at the Zhuolan Tavern, and we can talk about life together in the evening~"

Her words carried a certain hint.

However, Liu Muxue next to him suddenly realized something when she heard the latter sentence.

She subconsciously took Cao Xing's hand and looked at Elena with vigilance.

Seeing this scene, Elena laughed again.

Cao Xing coughed twice in embarrassment, then said, "Boss lady, we're leaving first. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome~ Take care, everyone~"

Cao Xing nodded.

Assam walked skillfully to the carriage, pulled the reins, and walked out of the village.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of militiamen, Cao Xing and his companions walked out of [Hog Village]...

Just as Cao Xing and his friends left.

A young man wearing black iron armor on the upper body and jeans on the lower body walked out of a tavern beside the street. He looked a bit out of place.

He stared at Cao Xing's back, with complex expressions flashing across his eyes.

If Cao Xing were here, he would definitely discover that this person is also a survivor from Blue Star.

His name is Shen Jinbing.

Shen Jinbing sighed at this time, "I didn't expect that this person is Cao Xing."

"The focus of the chat channel, the number one on the list of District 174, I actually ran into him!"

"What a powerful existence. He actually has a level 13 leader under him. No wonder he can level up so quickly."

At present, Shen Jinbing only saw Assam's message and did not notice Sarah in the shadow.

At this time, a hint of hesitation appeared in his eyes.

Now it is common knowledge that Fang Long is offering a high price for Cao Xing's position.

A level 10 elite creature recruitment scroll is enough to increase the strength of most survivors, which makes them feel excited.

However, Shen Jinbing was afraid that telling the Three Heroes Society this information would bring revenge from Cao Xing.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Jinbing opened a private chat and sent a message.

"I have the information you want, but make sure you don't expose me..."

…

In the snow, a group of people moved forward against the dim sky.

Sitting on the tracked robot, Cao Xing glanced at the countdown above his head.

[Distance until nightfall: 32 minutes...]

【Current temperature: -56℃】

"We made it back in the last half hour before dark."

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the map. This place was only a few hundred meters away from the camp.

In the distance, in the snow, there is a bright red color, reflecting the silhouettes of many houses.

It's like a small world isolated in the ice and snow.

After getting closer, Cao Xing saw that the group of polar people, the tree spirits, and the human Cao Yi and his group were all still working hard.

Gather supplies, upgrade your homes, and build new buildings.

The entire territory is in a state of hot development!

Outside the territory, there are two railroad tracks that extend into a mine outside the snow, with mine carts carrying a lot of ore.

Liu Muxue's beautiful eyes looked forward to the future, and she said in surprise: "Ah Xing, our territory has changed a lot!"

Cao Xing also noticed that compared to when they left, the current territory has undergone tremendous changes.

First, the bonfire in the center of the territory has changed from a large bonfire to a huge furnace nearly three meters high and more than one meter in diameter!

The territory has also expanded significantly.

The radius reached 500 meters and the bonfire covered an area of ​​1 kilometer!

This area is already quite large, and it is no problem to grow crops and raise cattle and sheep.

In addition, Cao Xing also saw seven buildings that were more than ten meters high.

Three of them are [Primary Elemental Arrow Towers] and two are [Primary Sentry Towers].

As for the other two, they are [Lighthouses].

There are many more buildings in the territory.

Da Zhuang, Cao Yi and others also noticed the huge figures floating in the snow from a distance.

Compared to before they went out, they had four more people, and the team became stronger.

Not only that, Cao Xing also brought back a carriage of supplies.

They all stopped what they were doing and looked at the approaching figure with hope.

And when they saw the tall mammoth, they exclaimed in amazement.

"Yes, Lord!"

"The Lord has returned. Everyone, come out and greet these brave warriors!"

Hearing Dazhuang's shout, dozens of people in the territory came over in a crowd.

Under their gaze.

Cao Xing and his group walked straight into the territory.

Suddenly, a warm current came.

Everyone felt a sense of relief.

The Centaur Kandal said excitedly: "What a warm territory! This is much more comfortable than our Centaur tribe!"

Kanter echoed, "Yes, Kandar, the centaurs like this place."

Including the black smoke shaman standing next to him, his face was also surprised.

After all, this was their first time entering the survivors' territory.

The magical thing called "Bonfire" is unique to the survivors.

Cao Xing also looked at the thermometer in confusion.

【Current temperature: -21℃】
