Chapter 107: Task Completed, Return to Hog Village (5000)
Eliza asked in confusion, "With Dorun Lake City's defensive power, can Hunters really attack this town?"
Cao Xing shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, but you'd better not get too close."
Seeing Cao Xing's serious expression, and thinking about their strength, Eliza nodded, "Alright then... I won't go to Dorun Lake City."
"But... if I don't go to Dorun Lake City, where can I go?"
"My father was taken away by you, am I supposed to live alone in Hog Village, boo hoo..."
At that moment, not only Cao Xing, but even Liu Muxue, who was beside them, also laughed.
She took Eliza's little hand and said, "Eliza, you can come back with us."
Eliza looked up, "Re... really? Can I join your territory too?"
Liu Muxue smiled and nodded.
Eliza burst into tears of joy...
A few minutes later, the group was reassembled.
Everyone was divided into two groups.
Nineteen Cloud Yaks stood quietly together.
Though they were forcibly tamed, the loyalty of this group of Cloud Yaks was just above 60.
At least they wouldn't defy Cao Xing's orders.
Cao Xing silently thought about the next plan in his mind.
Next, they needed to take Eliza back to [Hog Village], and then bring Old Mel and his herd back to their territory.
Because of the long journey, they needed to escort these Cloud Yaks back to the territory first.
Otherwise, if anything happened on the road, Cao Xing would be heartbroken.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Andrew beside him.
"Andrew, I need you to take this herd of yaks back to our territory, and make sure to avoid crowds and beasts along the way to ensure a safe arrival."
Andrew was calming the herd, and upon hearing this, he said with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Alright, honorable Lord."
Cao Xing nodded.
Andrew was now a level 16 Elite Creature, and shouldn't encounter any trouble along the way.
But Cao Xing was still a bit uneasy, as Cloud Yaks, being such rare Magic Creatures, were too valuable.
For safety, he looked at the Black Smoke Shaman beside him, "Blot, follow Andrew, and ensure the safety of this herd of Cloud Yaks."
"This is the property of our territory and must not be lost."
Blot Sulfur Stone bowed slightly, "I will follow your orders, honorable Lord."
"I will take care of them like the children of the Char Clan."
With the addition of this Boss Level Shaman, they should not encounter any problems along the way.
"Well then, Andrew, Blot, I wish you a safe journey."
The two subordinates respectfully saluted Cao Xing.
"May the Lord's radiance protect us."
"May the Goddess of Fortune be with you."
With that, they set off with the nineteen Cloud Yaks.
Cao Xing, on the other hand, returned to Snow Fall Lake with the other recruited creatures.
Now, he was going to find that powerful old man and reclaim what was his.
Chino Durant kept his word and still waited patiently on the frozen lake.
Seeing Cao Xing approaching, Chino's face lit up with joy.
"This young Lord, we are quite lucky. I caught a total of six Salmon this time: three Gray West Salmon, one Red Salmon, and two Silver Salmon."
"Unfortunately, we didn't catch a Golden Salmon this time, perhaps we need bait with a more stimulating flavor."
Cao Xing nodded; this was already a decent haul.
Including the first one, it totaled three Silver Salmon. He could take two, which would increase his Life Limit by 600 points and six population!
As for the Red Salmon, Cao Xing took a glance.
It also had a good effect, increasing the Life Limit by 100 points, but didn't increase population.
Chino wore a faint smile, seemingly pleased with the catch of the day.
Of course, it might also be because his wife would soon enjoy her favorite fish soup.
"Lord Cao Xing, as agreed, it's six for me and four for you, you can choose two Silver Salmon."
"Of course, you could also choose one Silver Salmon and the remaining Red Salmon."
Cao Xing, upon hearing this, immediately said without hesitating, "I want two Silver Salmon."
Chino didn't comment on Cao Xing taking advantage but generously nodded.
"Alright."
He handed the two shiny Silver Salmon from the bucket to Cao Xing.
[Acquired: Silver Salmon 3kg*1, Acquired Silver Salmon 4kg*1]
After completing the transaction, they parted ways.
And in his heart, Cao Xing remembered this lake.
After all, there might be a Legendary Level weapon here: the Lake Lady's Sword!
If given the opportunity, he would definitely return again later.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue returned to Da Bai's back.
Eliza curiously gazed at the Holy Mammoth, seemingly astonished that they could tame such a creature.
Yet, considering how this Lord had tamed as many as nineteen Cloud Yaks right in front of her, it wasn't surprising they could tame a Mammoth.
Cao Xing said to Liu Muxue behind him, "Muxue, let her come up too."
Little Elysa was just a level 5 ordinary person, with her speed, it would take at least a dozen hours to reach Hog Village.
And who knew how this little girl managed to come such a long way to Snow Fall Lake all by herself.
Liu Muxue had previously tried to ask.
However, the little girl was too shy to speak, keeping her secretive attitude.
Cao Xing didn't press the matter either, after all, she was about to be brought into his territory, and soon, these secrets would be revealed.
