Chapter 459
However, it only offered a glimmer of hope.
In actual combat, there would definitely be significant casualties.
Clearly, no legion could possess that many combat personnel in a short time.
The issue of the population cap alone couldn’t be solved quickly.
Cao Xing smiled and didn’t say much more; then he took out a whole piece of Silver Salmon Meat from his backpack,
“Cao Xing… what’s this?”
Cao Xing smiled and said, “A piece of fish meat, it can enhance attributes, you all take it first.”
Yao Yiming cautiously received it after hearing this.
When he saw the attributes and the name on it, his pupils immediately contracted.
Yao Yiming was well aware of how precious such fish meat was.
Yesterday, on the 17th district channel, people almost went crazy fighting over it!
Currently, 100g of Silver Salmon Meat had already been speculated to a sky-high price in the market!
Yet now, Cao Xing had directly given them a whole piece, equivalent to 10 servings.
He suddenly felt the fish meat in his hand was incredibly hot.
He hurriedly said, “Cao Xing, this fish meat is too valuable… we can’t accept it…”
Cao Xing shook his head and smiled, “It’s nothing, just take it.”
“Consider it a thank you for that previous information. In the future, we may have opportunities for cooperation.”
Upon hearing that, Yao Yiming’s eyes showed a hint of understanding, and he no longer declined.
After chatting for a few more moments, Cao Xing took his leave with his companions.
Yao Yiming’s family watched Cao Xing and his group’s departing figures with expressions full of gratitude.
After they left, Yao Ying stared at the fish meat in Yao Yiming’s hand, nearly drooling.
“Brother! It’s actually Silver Salmon Meat, a whole piece, we’re rich!”
Yao Yiming shook his head, “What wealth, this precious fish meat is for us to eat, we definitely can’t sell it.”
Yao Ying nodded eagerly, “That’s right, we should eat this fish meat to enhance our attributes!”
“Besides, I’ve heard people in the chat channels say that the Silver Salmon’s meat is incomparably tender, truly a delicacy of the world, I’ve long wanted to taste it!”
Hearing this made the whole family laugh.
At this moment, Yao Ying said, “Brother, Cao Xing suddenly gave us such precious fish meat, does he want us to help with something?”
Yao Yiming, upon hearing this, recalled Cao Xing’s last words, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.
“I’m not sure yet, but if Cao Xing really needs our help in something, we must do our best to assist him.”
“After all, we’re neighbors with him, and we might interact in the future. It’s not about currying favor, but having a good relationship with such a powerful ally benefits us greatly.”
“Yes, yes!”
Yao Ying and the rest of the family agreed with Yao Yiming’s decision.
…
…
Amidst the vast, white snowfield, a dozen figures moved forward steadily.
On the snow-covered ground, they left a dense trail of footprints.
It was none other than Cao Xing and his group.
Soon, they arrived near the Light River.
This was also the largest icy river of the Gale Snow Plain.
The river’s width reached four to five kilometers.
It was here that Cao Xing had encountered the Moon God Trading House convoy.
But today, there was no sign of any trading convoy on the ice.
At this moment, Cao Xing gazed at the thick ice layer of the Light River, pondering.
“The Light River runs through the entire Gale Snow Plain, I wonder if there are any rare fish species here?”
Cao Xing glanced at the Mad King’s Fishing Rod in his backpack, feeling a bit eager to try it.
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head, “Better not.”
“I don’t have any bait right now, I wouldn’t catch any valuable large fish.”
Thinking this, Cao Xing prepared to lead his group onward.
Just as they were about to cross the Light River,
they suddenly saw a woman, her clothes partly undone and looking panicked, swiftly approaching them.
Behind this woman were four or five fierce-looking men wielding longswords, dressed in militia uniforms.
The woman, upon seeing Cao Xing, looked as if she’d found a savior, her steps quickening.
And she cried out as she ran.
“Help… help me…”
Hearing the woman’s cries for help, everyone on the scene became serious, all raising their vigilance.
As she approached, Cao Xing also noticed the anomalies on the woman.
