Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem-Chapter 74 - 71: Elite Level Archer

Chapter 74: Chapter 71: Elite Level Archer

“Ascalon Archer, Renice Hawkeye, reporting to you.”

Cao Xing met her sharp gaze and then solemnly said,

“Welcome, Renice Hawkeye.”

“Let’s build a territory full of glory together!”

This time, Cao Xing’s words didn’t seem to have much effect.

Renice’s expression grew gloomy when she heard the word “glory.”

“Honored Lord, the Ascalon Kingdom has already fallen, my glory has vanished…”

At this moment, upon hearing these words, Cao Xing felt somewhat awkward.

He didn’t know that the Ascalon Kingdom had already fallen.

These words were equivalent to opening Renice’s wounds.

At this point, Liu Muxue gently walked to Renice’s side, took her hand, and said, “Renice, past glory is indeed worth following, but it’s more important to cherish everything in the present.”

“Would you be willing to join us in reclaiming your glory?”

Hearing this, Renice lifted her blue gaze, nodded, and said, “I am willing.”

Then, she gratefully said, “Thank you, beautiful Lord.”

Liu Muxue turned around and gave Cao Xing a gentle smile.

Cao Xing grinned, surprised by Liu Muxue’s talent in this area, and gave her a thumbs-up.

Seeing Renice gradually regain her fighting spirit,

then Cao Xing said as usual, “Well, Renice, please accept the blessings we bestow upon you!”

Renice did not refuse, nodding her head.

Cao Xing raised the magic wand, consecutively casting the [Ice Armor Skill], [Ice Healing Skill], and [Frost Armor] buffs.

Then Liu Muxue also consecutively cast [Aurora Blessing] and [Courage Blessing]

In addition to Yilena’s [Scale Armor] and [Snake-man Tribe Frenzy]

Altogether, seven permanent statuses were conferred.

Everyone could feel that the aura on Renice had significantly strengthened.

Her body froze in place.

Like other new members, her face showed strong shock.

Then, she gently bowed, respectfully saying to Cao Xing, “Thank you for your blessing, dear Lord, your power is as radiant as the stars.”

Meanwhile, a system prompt appeared in Cao Xing’s ear.

[You helped territory member: Renice Hawkeye improve strength, loyalty has increased, current loyalty 74]

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

He began to examine Renice’s attributes.

…

Cao Xing nodded, “Not bad.”

As an elite-level archer, Renice’s strength could be described as formidable.

Now, everything was ready.

After learning from Nif about the approximate location where she and her sister got separated, Cao Xing nodded.

Nif softly asked, “Lord, do you need me to go with the team?”

Cao Xing shook his head, replying, “No need, I already know the location, so leave it to us.”

Nif didn’t have much combat power, besides they had to open the Goblin Treasury this time, and there might be unexpected situations inside.

Therefore, she wouldn’t be coming along.

Cao Xing looked at the followers below, then loudly said, “Set out!”

“Target, Borialis Mountains!”

Da Bai raised its head first, letting out a long howl.

“Moo—”

Assam and Andrew turned around and walked toward the snowy ground.

Three robots followed behind.

A group of people left in a majestic manner.

Cao Xing continued to leave Yilena to guard the territory since she could level up while staying there.

He also left one Ground Drilling Robot to help with mining and defend the territory.

These mechanical constructs didn’t have experience bars, so taking them or not made no difference.

Under the gaze of the subjects, Cao Xing and the group quickly vanished into the vast snowy plain.

…

At the same time.

In another corner of this snowy plain.

A group of survivors gathered in a certain camp.

The number of them was around forty to fifty.

They seemed to be discussing something.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a black cotton jacket stood in the middle of the group and said, “I’ll go over the plan for this operation again.”

“When we arrive at that coordinate, observe the situation first, let Little Monkey scout ahead.”

“Then wait for Little Monkey’s signal before we all charge in.”

“Does everyone understand?”

The other survivors replied, “Understood!”

A younger-looking survivor added, “Boss Ji Jun, rest assured!”

“Among us, many have already recruited creatures, level 5 Wild Boar Warriors, level 7 Ascalon Monks.”

“Brother Huang Wen is even more impressive, he has an 8th-level elite assassin!”

“Together with ourselves, at least sixty people!”

“If this Cao Xing dares to come out, we’ll crush him with a single step!”

After the survivor spoke, the other members of the Three Heroes Association revealed a relaxed smile.

Because indeed, he was right.

At the current stage, with so many survivors plus powerful recruited creatures, this was a formidable force.

The middle-aged man in the black cotton coat nodded, saying, “Even so, we should be careful.”

“This time, it’s the Three Heroes Association’s battle to establish our prestige, to let those guys know that even in this world, the Three Heroes Association isn’t to be trifled with!”

The survivors nodded.

Soon, they began their actions.

Their target was the coordinate point given by Cao Xing.

…

At this time, Cao Xing, after traveling for more than ten minutes, was about eight kilometers away from the territory.

Behind him, there were footprints.

Especially Da Bai, its large hoof left sizable footprints with each step.

As Cao Xing advanced, he opened the [Gale Snow Plain Map].

Many terrains were marked on it, along with some areas marked with red ‘X’.

As he passed one marked location, he saw a frozen lake.

Before getting close, Sarah promptly warned, “Lord, do not proceed further.”

“That lake is the territory of a terrifying creature; if it senses us, it will easily tear us apart and devour us.”

Cao Xing paused for a moment, then unhesitatingly led his group to detour.

Later he understood, these marked locations all had some terrifying monsters.

Therefore, he tried to avoid these areas as much as possible.

The group continued forward, traveling several more kilometers across the vast snowy plain.

Cao Xing discovered a roaring bonfire in the snow, with a few simple constructions beside it.

Liu Muxue said, “Axing, that seems to be the territory of other survivors.”

Cao Xing took a glance, and besides the Lord’s Hut, there was already a Polar People Hut constructed.

The campfire was initially rudimentary but looked upgraded to level three or four.

The construction level of this territory was quite good compared to other survivors.

However, the survivors were out, leaving only a few Polar People gathering supplies near the territory.

Cao Xing shook his head, “Let’s go.”

He didn’t want any contact with other survivors at that moment.

Especially since he still had to search for Nif’s sister, so he couldn’t afford to waste time here.

Buzzing!

The Track Robot advanced at full speed.

Other followers either ran on two legs or galloped on four.

Rumbling!

They bypassed several mountains and forests.

After progressing about 30 kilometers, a vast expanse of mountains blocked their way.

A system prompt appeared.

[Discovered Borialis Mountains]

[Map Introduction: The Borialis Mountains are snow-covered year-round, home to numerous races like Snow Monsters, Cave Dwellers, and Snow Giant Trolls.

Besides, the Borialis Mountains contain abundant mineral deposits and some unique plants.]

After reading the map introduction.

Cao Xing understood that this mountain range was likely a high-level area, possibly harboring many powerful creatures.

Thus, he needed to be a bit cautious.

Sarah suddenly appeared again to report, “Lord, there’s a small path to the right, about one kilometer away; we can enter from there.”

Cao Xing nodded, then led the group to the place Sarah mentioned.

Amidst dense silver fir trees, there was a mountain path about two to three meters wide.

Aside from the track marks, it seemed clear that a vehicle convoy had passed through there not long ago.

Assam, riding the Frost Wolf, led the way into the mountains.

Cao Xing and others followed behind.

Upon entering the forest, sounds like monkey shrieks began echoing constantly.

“Oh! Oh oh oh!”

“Woo~~~”

Liu Muxue, somewhat frightened, held onto Cao Xing’s sleeve.

Assam turned to explain, “Lord, those are Cave Dweller calls, a group of creatures with low intelligence.”

“As long as we don’t approach their territory, these Cave Dwellers won’t attack us.”

Cao Xing nodded, “Alright, let’s keep moving.”

This time, his first goal was to reach a place called [Teluo Mountain] within the mountain range, to find Nif’s sister, Juliette.

Then, venture deeper into the mountains to open the Goblin Treasury.

Squeak! Squeak!

The Track Robot continued moving…
