So many hunters hadn’t found anything in the mountains. Although Cao Xing was quite confident in his luck, the Tageen Mountain Range was so vast that the hope of finding anything seed slim.
Moreover, the top priority now was to reunite with Eliza and find that herd of Cloud Yaks.
Thus, he said directly, "Let’s go, we’ll continue forward."
"Sarah, you scout ahead."
Sarah nodded slightly and then disappeared on the spot.
The group began to move forward again, crossing two more high mountains.
"Crack! Crack!"
The massive feet of the Mammoth crushed the frozen mountain path, its terrifying weight shattering stones and branches beneath.
At this mont, Cao Xing saw a bird’s nest on a distant branch.
He ordered Da Bai to halt.
Then he used the Ejection Hook to jump up.
In an instant, he saw seven or eight bird eggs inside the nest, each as large as a fist!
"What huge bird eggs!"
Cao Xing was shocked.
Before he could act, a loud screech echoed from the sky.
"Ah! Ah!"
Two large white birds circled in the air, emitting sharp, strange cries.
They seed both anxious and angry.
After pondering for a mont, Cao Xing decided not to take the eggs and silently slid back down the tree.
After all, these were just ordinary bird eggs, each equivalent to at most 5 units of food, not very valuable.
Upon his departure, the two large birds quickly returned to the nest and stopped screeching.
Cao Xing said, "Let’s go, continue forward."
The group crossed another mountain peak.
Just then, Cao Xing heard a cacophony of sounds coming from a valley ahead.
Shouts of various kinds echoed in the valley.
Sarah appeared in sight and then said, "Lord, there seems to be a situation ahead."
"What kind of situation?"
"It looks like a group of Cave Dwellers, a group of Mole n, and so Snow Barbarians are in conflict, the numbers are around one to two thousand."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was taken aback.
"Good grief, a chaotic battle of one to two thousand people, with three factions no less. This is truly chaotic."
"Sarah, do you know why they’re fighting?"
She shook her head, "I don’t know, Lord."
Cao Xing pondered for a mont, then nodded, "Ignore those guys, let’s go find Eliza first."
"Understood."
After saying this, Cao Xing changed direction, bypassing the chaotic area ahead.
Then he continued straight towards where Eliza was.
Next, they encountered no unexpected events.
They soon reached the side of a high mountain.
Then they began their descent, as the terrain descended rapidly.
Da Bai, cautiously, carried Cao Xing and Liu Muxue on its back, slowly making their way down.
When they all landed, Cao Xing found himself in a valley.
The area was littered with rocks.
In the valley grew tall Silver Fir Trees and so unknown plants.
A brook, unfrozen, flowed from the depths of the valley, extending all the way to the foot of the mountain.
Along the brook, various white weeds grew in abundance.
One or two white birds, unrecognizable by na, occasionally flew across the sky.
The scene before them was excessively beautiful.
"Indeed, the scenery in the mountains is quite impressive."
"If this were on Blue Star, opening up a camping site here would definitely be a hit."
Cao Xing thought cheerfully.
At the sa ti, the System Prompt appeared.
[You have discovered a new area: Raider Valley]
(This is a gathering place for a group of raiders, who often rob passing rchants and hunters. They are formidable, so even the knight orders of nobles choose to bypass this area.)
...
Seeing the map introduction, Cao Xing silently thought, "The map prompt says this is a gathering place for raiders, and also for mountain bandits?"
"Sounds pretty ferocious."
However, he paid it no mind.
With his strength, though not invincible, there weren’t many creatures in these mountains that could threaten him.
Moreover, if they were reduced to becoming bandits in the mountains, it indicated their strength wasn’t that great.
As long as they didn’t provoke him, everything was fine. But if they dared to, Cao Xing didn’t mind teaching them a lesson.
Cao Xing opened the Communication Device, then asked, "Eliza, we’ve reached Raider Valley. Where are you now?"
"Buzz... Buzz..."
Soon, Eliza’s clear voice ca to his ear.
"Lord, do you see the brook in the valley?"
"I see it."
Eliza replied cheerfully, "Then follow the brook upstream all the way forward. After you reach the end, you’ll see a pond. I’m in the area nearby."
"Make sure to approach slowly, or you’ll scare off the yaks."
Cao Xing responded, "Okay, I understand."
After ending the call, Cao Xing looked at his subordinates and pets behind him.
"Wally, Da Bai, wait here for us first."
"Everyone else, follow ."
The two Giant Beasts obediently nodded, then calmly went to the foot of a Silver Fir Tree, silently waiting.
And so, Cao Xing led his group, moving neither hurriedly nor slowly, deeper into the mountains.
Since the route was clear, they just needed to follow the brook upstream.
Ten minutes later, they advanced about one or two kiloters.
Ahead, they could faintly hear the sound of babbling water.
Though he didn’t know why the water hadn’t frozen here,
It seed they had reached the pond Eliza ntioned.
However, due to the growth of many Silver Fir Trees nearby, they couldn’t see the specific scene.
