Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 404: Meet the old witch again and return to the territory! (5600)

Cao Xing was stunned, "Give it to me?"

After all, this is the soul-sinking incense that can make even griffins let down their guard, and it sounds very valuable.

But he said he would send it directly to him.

The man seemed to know what he was thinking and chuckled, "I also want to see if anyone can successfully tame a legendary creature like the Griffin King."

After hearing this, Cao Xing also laughed.

"Thank you very much. With these things from you, I will definitely succeed."

There was confidence in his tone.

The trainer looked at Cao Xing with admiration in his eyes.

Then, the two sides conducted a wave of transactions.

[Transaction successful, you obtained [Master-level Pet Contract Scroll]*2, you obtained [Soul-sinking Incense]*1, you obtained [Special Pet Rations]*30, you obtained... you lost Krona*810 million...]
The four items cost Cao Xing a total of more than eight million kronor.

Now, he still has 37 million kronor left.

Cao Xing was troubled by the fact that his money seemed to be insufficient again...

You know, there are more than 260 warriors in his territory who need to break through to the fifth level.

And if they use the altar to make them break through, not counting other materials, it will cost 5200 million crowns...

Cao Xing suddenly felt a pain in his flesh.

"It seems that no matter how much money I make, it's never enough to spend..."

"We have to find a way to get some more money."

But he wasn't too worried.

If it doesn't work, go borrow some money from the rich woman Marita.

Or if we sell a batch of high-level secret medicines and clothes in the territory, we should be able to collect enough kronor for the warriors to break through.

The master animal tamer on the opposite side seemed very pleased.

After all, Cao Xing is a rare big customer as he bought so many things at once.

He continued to ask: "Guest, is there anything else that you are interested in? I can give you a discount."

Cao Xing's eyes lit up instantly, "I want the dragon taming reins, how much discount can you give me?"

Hearing this, the trainer smiled and shook his head, "There's no discount on this."

After hearing this, Cao Xing was immediately disappointed.

But at this moment, the other party changed the subject.

"However, I have a commission here, I wonder if you are interested?"

"As a reward, if you are done, I can give you my dragon taming reins for free, how about that?"

Cao Xing's heart moved.

Is this... triggering another mission?
He asked tentatively, "What do you need me to do?"

The man chuckled and said, "It's not a big deal."

"I need you to go to the top of the highest mountain in the Snowstorm Plains and help me get something down."

There was a look of doubt in Cao Xing's eyes.

There are so many mountains in Kuangfengxueyuan, and they are all very high. How does he know which mountain is the highest?
As if aware of the doubt in Cao Xing's eyes, the man continued, "It's in the northeast, near the Wolf Sound Valley."

"That mountain is called Skavi Mountain. It's about 23,000 meters high. You can see it when you get there."

When Cao Xing heard the number 23,000, he couldn't help but be shocked.

You know, even the highest peak on Blue Star is only one-third of the height of here.

The two mountains I had visited before did not have such high peaks.

"So high?" Cao Xing asked.

The man nodded, "Yes."

"You know, because of the temperature, above 10,000 meters, it's not something that master-level creatures like us can withstand."

"And to climb to the peak of the Skavi Mountains, one can only rely on the power of the Griffin King."

"It can take you through the cold current and reach the top of the mountain."

Cao Xing seemed to understand what he meant. "You mean, only if I tame the Griffin King can I successfully reach the top of the mountain and get what you need?"

The other party chuckled and said, "You can understand it that way."

"Of course, if you can find other flying creatures, such as a dragon or a heroic horned eagle, they can also take you up there."

"These powerful creatures are also able to fly to an altitude of 20,000 meters."

Cao Xing rolled his eyes.

If I can tame a dragon, would I need to go to so much trouble to tame a griffin?
Cao Xing continued to ask: "May I know what you asked me to bring back from the top of the mountain?"

"can."

The trainer replied: "That's a corpse..."

Cao Xing was stunned. "Corpse?"

The other party nodded and said, "To be precise, it's my brother's body."

"He has had a strong spirit of adventure since he was young and wanted to conquer every mountain."

"But any high mountain has various dangers, and those dangers can even put him to death."

"I have dissuaded him several times from attempting to climb the Skavi Mountains."

"However, he ignored our advice and resolutely started his climbing journey."

At this point, a hint of regret appeared in the other person's eyes.

"No one knows what he went through in the high mountains of Skagway."

"All I know is that one month after he climbed the mountain, he sent me a message through the wind spirit, saying that he had reached the top of Mount Skavi, saw an unprecedented view, and felt that his life was complete."

"And because he had exhausted all his strength, he finally decided to rest here forever..."

"Over the years, I have tried to climb to the top of Mount Skavi and bring back his body, but I have always failed."

"So, I thought, if you can tame the Griffin King, you can give it a try."

[Successfully triggered event: The beast trainer Miles Gray commissioned you to climb to the top of the Skavi Mountains and bring back his brother's body]

[Mission Difficulty: B Level]

[Quest Reward: Dragon Taming Reins (Orange)*1]

...

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing thought for a moment.

Obviously, this is also a task that does not have any punishment or a set deadline to complete.

The failure of the mission would not cause him any loss.

This is also the kind of task Cao likes the most.

So he replied: "Sir, I accept this mission."

"If I had the chance, I would have attempted to climb the Skavi Mountains and bring back your brother's body."

Hearing Cao Xing's agreement, a gentle smile appeared on the trainer's face.

"The spirits of all beasts will bless you and help you reach the top of the mountain successfully."

Cao Xing nodded, "Then, see you next time."

After saying this, he left the shop under the watchful eyes of the animal trainer.

When the door was closed, Cao Xing's eyes once again showed a thoughtful look.

"I didn't expect that I would not only find a way to tame a griffin, but also get a mission."

"So, I have already accepted two missions in Melinde City."

chuckled.

Cao Xing began to check the properties of the two master-level scrolls.

【Master Pet Contract Scroll】

[Item effect: You can use this contract on a wild creature below level 70 to make it your exclusive pet, with a success rate of 55%~65%]

(Note: The stronger the target of the contract, the lower the success rate. You can also use some unconventional means to increase the success rate of the contract.)
...

...

"Yes, not only can we contract creatures below level 70, but the success rate is also much higher."

Satisfied nodded.

Cao Xing continued to look at the corridor ahead.

There were rooms there, but he only had one last chance to open the door.

But that’s okay.

After all, he had accomplished his biggest goal this time and successfully obtained the method to tame the griffin.

Next, Cao Xing walked around the third floor casually.

As he walked, he came to a room in the corner of the third floor.

This location is quite remote and few people come here.

Cao Xing pondered: "Should we go in and take a look?"

With the mentality of giving it a try, Cao Xing pushed the door open and walked in.

The door opened, revealing an empty room.

There are no various containers like in other rooms.

There was only an old wooden table in the center of the room.

Opposite the wooden table, sat an old man with a hunched back and a gloomy aura.

She lowered her head, as if unable to lift it up, and stared at the table in front of her.

On the table, there was a crystal ball emitting a faint light.

The moment he saw the figure clearly, Cao Xing was shocked and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Because he knew this old man.

It was the old witch who had asked him to deal with the witch in the Witch Forest and told him three fairy tales!
Cao Xing looked at her, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

But the old witch raised her head and a smile appeared in her eyes.

Then she slowly opened her dry lips.

"Hey, hey, young man, we meet again..."

That familiar hoarse, piercing voice rang out.

Cao Xing frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"

The old witch laughed strangely, and the sound was like the sound of an old bellows.

"Hehe... I'm doing a little business here."

She raised her skinny hand slightly and pointed at the crystal ball on the table.

"Young man, do you need a fortune-teller? It only costs 100 million crowns per time."

"Through my divination, I can see your future..."

"Is it a road full of thorns, or glory and wealth, or death on the battlefield..."

Her voice was so alluring that one could not help but agree to a divination.

Fortunately, Cao Xing has a high mental resistance and is completely immune to this kind of bewitching.

He shook his head and said, "No need."

He didn't believe in divination.

After all, even the Pale Tree, which knew almost everything, was destroyed.

This shows that there is no such thing as omniscience and foresight in the world.

The old witch was not surprised when Cao Xing refused.

She continued in that hoarse and bewitching voice: "Hehehe... Actually... I had already done divination once before you came in."

"I see a chaotic and bloody future..."

After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Cao Xing with her cloudy eyes.

"Young man, I think you have foreseen this, right?"

"One day soon... a crisis sweeping the continent will come, and the world will be stained red with blood..."

Cao Xing frowned slightly. Thinking about the information he had obtained, Cao Xing roughly guessed that the old witch was talking about the Blood Legion.

Cao Xing asked: "What do you want to say?"

The old witch continued to stare at Cao Xing with that creepy look.

"Hahahaha... What I want to say is that from that day on, the whole world will fall into unprecedented chaos."

"However... this is just the beginning..."

"When the blood spreads, **** will spread again, **** in the land of the underworld..."

"Then the entire world will be reshuffled..."

Cao Xing did not hear the last few words clearly, probably because they were blocked by the Lord System.

He had experienced this phenomenon before, so he was not surprised.

"What's the point of telling me this?"

The old witch's mouth opened into an exaggerated and terrifying smile.

"Hehe... Young man, are you willing to become a believer of a great being?"

"That great being can allow you to immediately possess... legendary power..."

"In the future, you can even participate in ****..."

Cao Xing looked at the other person deeply.

Although I know that this old witch is definitely not ordinary.

However, she said that being able to immediately possess legendary power was beyond her expectations.

But Cao Xing didn't want to deal with her.

Because there is always an aura about her that makes him uncomfortable.

Moreover, the great existence she was talking about did not sound like a good one.

If it is some evil god, it would be really fun.

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No, I'm not interested in being someone else's believer."

Hearing this answer, a hint of surprise appeared in the old witch's cloudy eyes.

It seems that no one expected that someone could resist the temptation of legend!

After all, the legendary level possesses real destructive power.

The so-called masters and heroes are completely vulnerable in front of legends.

And legend is also the first step on the road to becoming a god!
However, the old witch did not force Cao Xing to agree.

Instead, he chuckled and said, "Well, young man..."

"Maybe one day in the future, you might change your mind."

"Then we will meet again, hehehe..."

After saying this, in front of him, the old witch turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared on the spot.

After the old witch left, Cao Xing felt a little confused.

After thinking for a moment, I couldn't figure it out.

Then he turned and walked out the door.

...

...

After leaving the room, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

He opened all 15 rooms in the upper, middle and lower floors of this black market.

There was no point in staying any longer.

So Cao Xing left the castle.

Outside, Elisa, Renesus, and Sarah were all waiting silently.

After seeing him, he was immediately delighted.

"My Lord, you are back!"

Elisa’s clear voice rang out.

Looking at the gentle smiles on the faces of the three women, Cao Xing's worries disappeared.

My mood gradually improved.

Cao Xing nodded, then smiled and said, "Let's go back to the tavern now."

"Get some rest tonight, we'll be returning to the territory tomorrow."

After hearing this, the three girls all showed joy on their faces.

Elisa cheered, "Great! We can go home tomorrow!"

"Although the big city is lively, it doesn't feel as comfortable as our territory!"

Renis and Sarah also felt the same way.

Cao Xing smiled.

Then, he took Elisa and others back to the Wilsing Tavern.

After pushing open the door of the tavern, the four people did not enter immediately.

They stopped where they were, confusion showing on their faces.

Because they all felt that the atmosphere in the pub seemed a little different today.

Compared to yesterday, everyone here has a serious expression on their face.

No one said a word, as if something bad had happened.

Even the bartender who was walking around the hall remained silent.

Elisa whispered in Cao Xing's ear: "My Lord, something seems to be wrong..."

Cao Xing didn't say anything and directly pulled a bartender over.

Then he asked, "What happened in the pub?"

When the bartender saw that it was Cao Xing, a look of respect immediately appeared on his face, and then he said.

"My lord, it's Miss Gwyneth. Something happened to her..."

"Something happened?" Cao Xing asked puzzledly.

"Yes."

The bartender replied respectfully, "For some unknown reason, Miss Gwyneth suddenly fainted without any warning while she was singing tonight."

"When we called a doctor and finally revived her, we found that she could no longer speak!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing immediately realized the problem.

It is most likely caused by the [Black-billed Crow Poison] in this woman's body.

Although I warned her, the poison still broke out in the end.

The effect was to make it impossible for her to speak again.

This woman's singing has a strange magic that even Cao Xing and Sarah can't resist.

Apparently, someone was jealous of her singing voice, so they gave her this poison, causing her to completely lose her voice.

But this approach is even more painful than killing her.

Cao Xing couldn't help but sigh: "How vicious..."

"you do not say!"

The bartender echoed indignantly: "After Miss Gwyneth found out about this, she couldn't bear the truth and fainted again."

"Now the Woodpecker Chamber of Commerce is also very angry and is sending various forces to investigate the murderer."

“At the same time, we also called in the famous doctors in the city to try to restore Miss Gwyneth to health.”

"If she really can no longer speak, it will be a serious loss for all of us..."

The bartender's eyes were full of regret.

Elisa, who was standing next to him, had a look of distress in her eyes. “Wow… will that sister who sang so well never be able to speak again?”

“This is too pitiful…”

Both Sarah and Renees felt a little regretful.

After all, it would be a real loss if such a perfect voice disappeared from the world forever.

Cao Xing shook his head slightly, feeling a little emotional.

But he has already reminded her what he should have reminded her about, and now that things have come to this, it all depends on whether Gwyneth can recover on her own.

Cao Xing looked at Sarah and the others beside him and said, "Let's go back and rest."

Everyone nodded slightly.

Then they each returned to their rooms.

After entering the room, Cao Xing lay down directly.

Everything was peaceful tonight.

In addition to the tavern, there were a lot of footsteps and noise coming from time to time.

The soldiers seemed to be tracking down the murderer until late at night.

And Cao Xing also fell asleep quickly.

...

...

The next day.

It's just dawn.

The system prompt appears as the fifth day's 'Claw of Zhuoma' challenge begins.

Cao Xing also opened his eyes on time.

He pressed the communication device on his ear and turned on the team channel.

"Everyone, it's dawn, get ready to get up."

After hearing Cao Xing's order, the wild boar warrior, Sarah and others quickly woke up.

After about a few minutes, everyone gathered at the door of the tavern.

There were 10 boar warriors, 1 Ascalon warrior, and Sarah, a total of 14 people.

Cao Xing glanced at the Ascalon warrior, and then said, "Askin, you come back with us too."

Things in Melinde City have been almost dealt with, and Cao Xing has no other plans at the moment.

In addition, Yaskin is still only at level 30.

If he goes back to participate in the battle, he will soon be able to reach the maximum level of level 4, and then with the help of the power of the altar of the gods, he can be directly promoted to level 5.

After hearing this, Yaskin immediately said respectfully, "As you command, Lord."

After that, the group walked out of the city.

Walking through the bustling crowd.

Soon, they arrived at the city gate.

And successfully brought Dabai back from the stable.

"Moo..."

The mammoth hadn't seen Cao Xing for two days and missed him very much. He kept rubbing his huge head against Cao Xing's body.

Cao Xing chuckled and patted its ears, then turned around and straddled Dabai's back.

"Let's go, return."

Dabai immediately stepped forward with his strong elephant hooves and took Cao Xing towards the territory.

The pedestrians passing by the city gate looked at the figure riding the mammoth, which was gradually disappearing, with either sighs or envy in their eyes...

And not long after Cao Xing and others left.

A man in his early thirties, wearing a plain grey coat, followed him out of the city gate.

He watched the backs of Cao Xing and others as they left, then took out a strange decoration from his backpack.

After arriving at an empty corner, he lowered his voice and spoke.

"Captain, the target has left the city, we can prepare for action!"
