Chapter 395
Hearing this, the person on the other side pondered for a moment before replying, “Cao Xing, actually, this place is a secret area we discovered.”
“It’s just a few kilometers away from my territory.”
“It seems to be a sunken ancient battlefield, with many rusted weapons and armor buried deep in the soil, but most of them are unusable now.”
“However, sometimes it’s possible to dig up one or two useful items. Just a couple of days ago, I dug up a green-grade Great Sword with a level as high as 40!”
“For us, it’s a treasure trove, and my sister and I often go there for treasure hunting!”
Yao Yiming’s tone was full of excitement.
“Oh, let me send you the coordinates.”
After saying this, he immediately sent over some coordinates.
Cao Xing was stunned.
He asked in confusion, “Such an important place, and you just tell me so easily?”
After all, just from Yao Yiming’s description, one could imagine the opportunities that place held.
A vast ancient battlefield, where many powerful fighters died, with plenty of weapons, armor, and such.
As Yiming said, casually picking up a high-level green equipment, and earlier, they found seeds from the War Ancient Tree.
If it were someone else, they would surely consider that place their own forbidden zone.
Yet, he just told Cao Xing so easily.
Yao Yiming said shyly, “It’s nothing, after all, you are our savior, Cao Xing!”
“Besides, that place is actually quite dangerous, with Corrupted Corpse Monsters and Undead Creatures inside. The deeper you go, the higher the levels of the monsters.”
“My sister and I used to only dare to wander outside. If you, Cao Xing, plan to go there, you must be careful.”
Hearing this, Cao Xing was silent for a moment before saying, “Okay, I understand, thanks for the information.”
“No problem, Cao Xing. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up the private chat with Yao Yiming, Cao Xing was thoughtful.
He glanced at the coordinates sent by him, realizing it was indeed not far from his territory, just over ten kilometers.
If what the other party said was true, the value of this information was quite significant.
Cao Xing thought to himself, “This Yao is rather nice. I’ll check out that place, and if it is as he described, I can offer a bit of help to his territory.”
Given Cao Xing’s current strength, a bit of help could dramatically increase the power of other Survivors.
“But for now, it’s better to get ready for fishing first.”
“Hopefully this time I can catch the legendary King Salmon and then acquire that Legendary Weapon, haha!”
Cao Xing thought happily.
Of course, he also knew he was fantasizing, as Legendary Weapons weren’t easily obtained.
However, even if he couldn’t catch the King Salmon, catching the Golden Salmon would be good enough.
And he still had plenty of [Secret Pet Food] in his backpack.
Both Green Grade and Blue Grade were available.
Last time, a few pieces of Green Grade food managed to catch several Silver Salmon.
So this fishing trip should yield good results.
A smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing’s lips.
But—
There was still a problem.
To fish, he would need a fishing rod.
And he didn’t have one.
Of course, an ordinary [Fishing Rod] could be easily crafted.
But this time he wasn’t going after ordinary fish, he was targeting those magic creatures!
Those Silver Salmon in the water were so strong they could easily break your fishing rod.
Last time, the Champion Fighter he came across, his fishing rod seemed quite precious.
Even as the Silver Salmon struggled fiercely in the water, his strong, sinewy hands held the rod steady, with a rhythm between tension and relaxation.
No matter how much the salmon struggled, the line never snapped.
So an ordinary fishing rod was likely ineffective for catching such magic creatures.
However, the fact that Cao Xing himself did not have one did not mean the [Market] was devoid of them.
After all, the entire 174 Zone boasted thousands of people, bound to offer some rare and curious items.
Therefore, he opened the [Market] and entered the word [Fishing Rod].
Immediately, dozens of messages appeared.

“I just wonder what effects different fishing rods have?”
Cao Xing glanced at the attributes.

After viewing the attributes of these auction items, realization dawned on Cao Xing.
“So that’s how it is, even magic creatures have grades. The higher the grade, the stronger the power, with more incredible effects.”
“And the Blue Grade fishing rods can only catch magic creatures like Red Salmon.”
“To catch higher-grade magic creatures, I will need more advanced fishing rods.”
