Chapter 405: Chapter 198: Lake Lady’s Trial, Knight’s Five Virtues

If Cao Xing could kill this King Salmon, he would obtain at least a thousand kilograms of epic-level fish at!

Cao Xing’s pupils constricted, his heart instantly filled with imnse temptation.

“Boom! Boom boom!”

The sound of violent collisions kept coming; the King Salmon seed to still be struggling.

However, after a few more flops, it finally ran out of strength and collapsed onto the ice.

This powerful epic creature seed to beco fish at waiting to be butchered.

Just then, the King Salmon slowly opened its mouth and spoke in human language.

“Human… let go…”

Hearing the voice, everyone on the scene looked at each other in astonishnt.

Blom, rubbing his big bald head, said incredulously, “By the gods, I just heard a fish talking to !”

But soon, they accepted this fact.

After all, in such a magical world, this phenonon was quite normal.

Cao Xing directly asked, “If I let you go, what can I get in return?”

The salmon responded slowly, “You will get nothing…”

“I am the Guardian of these waters… I need to return to the water…”

Hearing this answer, most people would probably have killed this King Salmon without hesitation.

Not to ntion the epic-level fish at it would yield, the gemstone crown on its head already looked extraordinary.

However—

Cao Xing knew that this King Salmon was related to a prerequisite legendary weapon quest.

Only by releasing it could he unlock the subsequent legendary task.

He glanced at Chino, who nodded subtly.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on Cao Xing’s lips.

Then, with a solemn expression, he stated.

“Poor Lake Guardian, I regret fishing you up and disturbing your peace.”

“Now, let return you to the water.”

Hearing these words, the King Salmon in front of him showed a trace of surprise in its eyes.

“Human… are you sure you really want to let go?”

“Do you know? Eating just a piece of my flesh can bestow soone with powerful Life Force, no matter how severe the disease, it will heal quickly!”

“The crown on my head belonged to the third King of the Kaisan Empire, blessed by the Abdon True God, it can instantly grant you imnse Power!”

Cao Xing mused quietly to himself.

Was it really this kind of setup?

Simply put, it used the treasures on this King Salmon as temptation.

Testing the person’s character.

Only those who resisted the temptation and released the King Salmon would trigger the subsequent task.

Yet he didn’t show this on his face, instead maintaining an expression of rcy, he said, “Lake Guardian, in this world, no one has it easy.”

“You have your mission, and we have our own tasks. Now, please return to the lake to continue fulfilling your mission.”

Cao Xing glanced at Chino.

Understanding his intent, Chino gave the fishing rod a slight shake, and the hook caught in the King Salmon’s mouth slipped free.

anwhile, the King Salmon showed a look of uncertainty in its eyes.

Freed from the snare of the hook, it slowly wriggled its body over to the ice hole and slipped back into the lake water.

As it was about to subrge, it looked at Cao Xing.

Then, with a sudden plunge, it disappeared completely.

A mont later, Cao Xing observed the lake surface calming down once more.

Everyone remained silent and waited patiently.

However, even after nearly ten minutes passed, there was no movent whatsoever.

It seed the King Salmon had simply left, with no further reaction.

In such a situation, most people might have feared they had been deceived.

Cao Xing looked at Chino.

The old man furrowed his brow and said, “Things aren’t quite as I imagined; my old friend didn’t tell the details about obtaining the Lake Lady’s Sword.”

“I never expected Lord Cao Xing would actually catch a King Salmon.”

“Today’s events really broadened my horizons…”

Cao Xing was quite optimistic.

He chuckled lightly, “It’s fine, Mr. Chino.”

“It’s just a bit of a pity not having caught the King Salmon. Otherwise, its fish at might have healed your wife directly.”

But Chino shook his head and said, “You are kind, Lord Cao Xing.”

“However, I am aware of my wife’s condition; her situation is quite complex.”

“Even though the King Salmon’s fish at is miraculous, it cannot completely cure my wife’s ailnts. We still need to seek the right solution.”

Hearing this, Cao Xing seed thoughtful.

Yet he chose not to probe further.

“Mr. Chino, let’s head back for the day.”

“Alright.”

With that, the two began to leave Snow Fall Lake.

Just as they were about to depart.

The entire Snow Fall Lake started to emit a sacred glow.

They swiftly turned around, focusing on the center of the lake.

In the eyes of Cao Xing and the others, shocked with awe.

The ice layer in the central area began to lt quickly.

“Whoosh…”

The sound of surging water erged.

Everyone turned, watching the central area of the lake.

Then, a woman completely naked, covered only by a few strands of aquatic plants concealing her private parts, slowly rose from the water.

Her long green hair cascaded over her back, even covering her round and perky buttocks, her fair skin glistened with crystalline droplets.

She lifted her head, revealing a face of extraordinary charm, with an alluring and exotic beauty.
