Seeing the two system prompts, Cao Xing was momentarily stunned.
But soon he understood the reason.
This should be what was previously mentioned, the balance of nature.
Although he saved the mammoths, he also offended the saber-toothed tiger clan.
However, he had no regrets.
Even if given another chance, he would still make the same choice.
Besides, with his strength, as long as a seventh-rank saber-toothed tiger does not appear, they’re not much of a threat to him.
The mammoth ’Po Feng’ led the other elephants, turning around.
Da Bai, who was reminiscing, seemed to know it was time to leave.
It stepped with its elephant feet, distancing itself from the two other mammoths.
Da Bai’s parents reluctantly placed their trunks on it, seemingly unwilling to see it leave.
However, Da Bai shook its head, gradually freeing itself from its parents’ trunks.
It slowly turned, walking towards Cao Xing.
Walking while looking back, as though bidding farewell to its parents and its clan.
Mammoths are herd animals; in this world, very few strong individuals have tamed such creatures.
At the same time, they are also proud.
Generally, they won’t submit to humans.
However, for the humans before them, they were acknowledged.
And they were happy for their kin finding such a good master.
The mammoth ’Po Feng’ went over to comfort Da Bai’s parents.
Da Bai’s parents let out a sorrowful tone, very reluctant to see Da Bai go.
But they also knew, their child had grown up.
It now had its own life to lead.
After bidding farewell to the mammoth herd, everyone headed straight for Dorun Lake City.
However, Da Bai appeared somewhat silent along the way.
After all, parting with family always brings some melancholy.
Cao Xing and the others didn’t disturb it, sitting on Little Blue’s back, letting the lone elephant have its peace.
At this moment, Wally Bell approached.
Then extended a bear paw to gently touch Da Bai’s body.
Electric light flashed.
Da Bai was suddenly startled, its elephant eyes widening at the sight of Snowy Blizzard Bear.
Seemingly unsure why it did that.
Without speaking, Wally lifted a bear paw, standing upright.
Powerful electric light burst from within it.
Wally Bell let out a loud roar and then sprinted forward.
Da Bai seemed to understand, that this was Wally Bell encouraging it.
Soon, it raised its trunk, and with its elephant feet, dashed after it.
Watching those two galloping giants.
Eliza said delightedly, "Da Bai has cheered up, Little Woli is amazing!"
Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but smile.
As mentioned before, in Cao Xing’s territory, over time, bonds would gradually deepen.
The relationships would get better.
Even for these pets, it’s the same.
Da Bai and Wally had become good friends after cooperating through several battles.
Cao Xing chuckled, "Let’s go, let’s speed up as well!"
In an instant, everyone quickened their pace a bit further.
A group of strong beings, swiftly advancing across the snowy plains.
Around three in the afternoon, they approached near Dorun Lake City.
On the system’s attached mini-map, a city icon marked in the distance, with a vast lake beside it.
Hundreds of kilometers away, they could all see the silhouette of the giant city.
About 30 kilometers from Dorun Lake City.
Cao Xing didn’t approach immediately but surveyed the area, discovering several small peaks around.
"Let’s head to the mountain top to observe the terrain first."
"Sarah, find if there’s a place nearby where we can hide." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Sarah nodded slightly and disappeared on the spot.
While the others, led by Cao Xing, quickly climbed to the top of a peak.
From here, they could have a bird’s eye view of the terrain surrounding Dorun Lake City.
The first thing that caught their eyes was the giant city covered by a golden barrier.
It stood silently like a giant, exuding an ancient and solemn aura.
In the distance, the silhouette of the giant city was particularly clear against the pale horizon.
The towering walls, constructed of giant ice blocks and sturdy rocks, gleamed faintly with cold light.
Roughly estimated, the walls stood seventy to eighty meters high, with a thickness of nearly twenty meters!
As if an indestructible shield, warding off the gale and snowstorms from the polar region.
The walls of Cao Xing’s territory were vastly inferior in comparison.
And this was merely a giant city.
The Eternal Frost Main City of the Ice Crystal Kingdom would have even more exaggerated walls.
On the walls, at intervals stood a watchtower, the torches on their tops swaying in the wind.
On the plains ahead, a dense mass of shadows!
That was the king’s army.
Most conspicuous were the frontmost warriors, a group of powerful knights donned in frost blue armor, riding warhorses.
Behind them, tens of thousands of black-armored soldiers, equally formidable in presence.
Cao Xing slightly furrowed his brow.
"The king’s army has indeed arrived, but who knows when they will launch an attack."
For Cao Xing, the best opportunity would be to infiltrate during the chaos of the army’s attack.
Then loot extensively, minimizing the risk of exposure.
But as it appeared now, there seemed to be no sign of initiating a war.
