Chapter 166
Moon God Trading House, Fourth Rank Expert! The doll-faced young girl beside was excited: “Sister Muxue was so beautiful! I’ve always wanted to take a photo with her. I didn’t get the chance before in Xiangjiang.”
“Sister Muxue, can you fulfill this wish of mine?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Muxue, who was sitting on the mammoth’s back, was stunned for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Liu Muxue looked at Cao Xing, as if seeking his opinion.
Cao Xing nodded and said, “Go ahead.”
Liu Muxue nodded, then gracefully jumped down from the back of the mammoth.
After the two took a simple photo together, a look of satisfaction appeared on Yao Ying’s tender face, and she said excitedly, “Great, finally took a photo with Goddess Muxue…”
Cao Xing smiled, without lingering.
After saying goodbye to Yao Yiming, he led the team forward.
He glanced at the map.
From his current position, it was a full 120 kilometers to Ji Xinyue’s territory.
In other words, it would take at least another hour and a half to arrive.
Cao Xing muttered to himself, “There is plenty of time, but we need to speed up and make good use of the daylight development time.”
So he ordered, “Everyone, follow the mammoth and advance at full speed.”
“Da Bai, start a full sprint!”
Da Bai heard Cao Xing’s command and began to gallop with all its might,
Boom! Boom boom!
Every step it took showed astonishing power.
Meanwhile, Yao Yiming and Yao Ying stood in place, watching the backs of Cao Xing and his group, filled with awe.
“Cao Xing is really strong… His territory must be developing much better than ours.”
Yao Yiming sighed, “If we could join his territory, perhaps we wouldn’t have to worry about such things happening…”
Beside him, Yao Ying said naively, “Brother, what do you mean? Are we going to join his territory?”
Yao Yiming shook his head, “I’m just saying, it’s uncertain whether they would want us.”
“Let’s go, hurry back to develop our territory…”
…
Cao Xing and the others sped through the snow plain, creating quite a stir.
The white land birds, frost moose, and others they encountered along the way were terrified by their momentum from afar and scattered in all directions.
Cao Xing originally planned to hunt a few frost moose to replenish some meat, but seeing this scene, he gave up the idea.
Too time-consuming.
At the same time, as Cao Xing and his group advanced with great momentum, occasionally, some survivors spotted Cao Xing’s figure along the way.
There were still 32,000 people left in the entire 174 district, with at least over eight thousand territories.
In a 500-kilometer by 500-kilometer area, the population density was still considerable.
So encountering other lords was normal.
They were all astonished by this powerful team, even mistaking them for natives of this world.
For a moment, none dared to approach.
Of course, even if they wanted to approach, it was of no use, as Cao Xing’s speed was enough to easily leave these survivors behind.
The team advanced at full speed.
Along the way, Cao Xing encountered two or three more villages, and these villages’ defensive capabilities seemed far stronger than Hog Village.
Cao Xing did not enter; instead, he remembered the locations of these villages.
An hour later.
Cao Xing and the others stopped in front of a frozen river.
The map showed that this place was called [Light River].
The river surface was about seven to eight kilometers wide, a big river indeed.
At the same time, Cao Xing saw a group of figures, leading horse-drawn carts and goods, walking cautiously on the ice.
Cao Xing’s team also slowed down, and then he ordered, “Sarah, go and check their identity.”
Before Sarah could proceed, Assam stepped forward and said, “Lord, that’s a group of merchants, they seem to be from the Moon God Trading House.”
“Moon God Trading House?”
Cao Xing recalled.
Like the Black Lion Commerce, Moon God Trading House was one of the three largest commerce houses in the Western Continent.
These wandering merchants might have some strange or rather special items.
Moreover, even if there was nothing good, he had some miscellaneous items in hand that he needed to sell, to exchange for crowns to buy food.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing made up his mind.
“Let’s go, take a look.”
Boom! Boom boom!
The team moved closer to the merchant convoy.
At the same time, seeing Cao Xing and his group approaching, the merchant group also slowed down.
Dozens of knights in silver armor came forward in front of the convoy, shielding seven or eight carts behind them.
Cao Xing glanced at the information above these people.
[Moon God Trading House Guard Captain: Benik lv24]
[Race: Human Clan]
[Rank: Third Tier Elite Level]
[Attack Power: 1533~1575]
[Armor: 305~354]
[Skills: Imperial Swordsmanship, Thrust, Silver Light Falling Blade.]
[Talent: None]
…
[Moon God Trading House Guard: Jamel lv23]
[Race: Human Clan]
[Rank: Third Tier Ordinary Creature]
[Attack Power: 1279~1298]
[Armor: 257~276]
[Skills: Battle Axe Mastery, Organ Cutting]
[Talent: None]
…
Having observed the attributes of these guards, Cao Xing had a general idea.
Equivalent to the strength of the Black Lion Commerce, all third-tier creatures, enough to ensure their safe travel on the Gale Snow Plain.
However, they had more people than the Black Lion Commerce.
Seeing the giant mammoth approaching, dozens of guards became somewhat nervous.
Although their level was higher than the mammoth, the mammoth’s massive size gave a strong sense of intimidation!
The guard captain drew his weapon and said in a deep voice, “This is the convoy of the Moon God Trading House, stop right there!”
Cao Xing gestured for the team to halt.
Then, he jumped down from the back of the mammoth.
