Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem-Chapter 81 - 76: Open the Treasure Box, Mutated Thorny Vine Seeds!_2

Cao Xing chuckled, then put it away.

Renice, standing nearby, reported: "Lord, we didn't find a treasure box in the cave, but I found a storage box behind a stone gate."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

A storage box, great!

The contents of a storage box were often more valuable than a treasure box, and perhaps it could yield a Black Diamond, making him rich!

"Renice, well done, take me to see it."

In no time, Cao Xing arrived in front of the stone gate Renice mentioned.

The stone gate was already open, revealing a storage box inside.

Cao Xing walked over.

[Cave Dweller Storage Box (Blue)]

[Opened successfully.]

[Obtained: Thick Wolf Meat *272]

[Obtained: Copper Ore *211]

[Obtained: Secret Silver Ore *72]

[Obtained: Gold Ore *13]

[Obtained: Carrot Seeds *74]

[Obtained: Beet Seeds *54]

[Obtained: Mutated Thorny Vine Seeds (Blue) *32]

...

A large pile of materials appeared. It was clear that these cave dwellers had hidden quite a few good things.

Cao Xing exclaimed: "There's even gold ore, that's some valuable stuff."

Gold was a precious metal in any world.

Refining these gold ores and selling them to merchants could fetch a very high price.

"But what is this blue seed?"

Cao Xing checked the attributes.

[Mutated Thorny Vine Seeds (Blue): Magic Plant]

[Plant near territory buildings; the vines will rapidly grow to cover the buildings, increasing armor by 50 points, durability by 1000 points, and adding a 2nd-level Rebound Aura, reflecting 20% of damage received.]

[Planting on city walls grants an additional 1000 durability.]

(Item description: Don't even think about crawling over me, or I'll turn you into a failed vine!)

...

After reading the seed description, Cao Xing's eyes lit up immediately.

Good stuff; it was worthy of being a blue mutated plant, not only greatly increasing armor and durability but also having a Rebound Aura.

Moreover, the more important matter was that the newbie protection period was about to end; without the system's shelter, monsters in the snow would begin attacking the territory.

And at this time, it was necessary to build walls to defend.

No doubt, these blue magic seeds could greatly enhance the defensive capabilities of Cao Xing's territory.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, storing all these items in his backpack.

Meanwhile,

Sarah silently appeared nearby, suddenly speaking.

"Found a passage to the outside world, it's behind a boulder."

This startled the two newly joined centaurs.

"True God above, this Dark Elf lady's stealth skills are too incredible!"

"Seconded, Kandar!"

Cao Xing was already used to Sarah's elusive presence, nodding his head: "Very well, let's head out first and regroup with the others."

Sarah turned and silently led the way in front.

The group followed her.

Soon, they arrived at the place where they had previously fought with the Shaman Priest.

Behind the cave wall nearby, they indeed saw a two or three-meter-high boulder.

Walking around the boulder, a deep passage appeared in front of them.

Assam drew his longsword, "Lord, please allow me to open the way for you."

Cao Xing nodded, "Go ahead, brave Knight Assam."

Assam led the way into the passage.

The others followed behind him.

In this passage, Cao Xing discovered a few spike traps and rope traps, but they dismantled them all.

Soon, they reached the end of the passage.

A faint light appeared at the entrance of the cave, seemingly hidden in a patch of shrubs.

Cao Xing directly crawled out of the cave, and instantly, the cold wind at the mountaintop whistled by.

The temperature dropped rapidly, making him shrink his neck against the cold.

Taking a look around, Cao Xing found the surrounding environment familiar.

This seemed to be the forest they had just passed, and Andrew and the others should still be waiting by the cliff.

"Assam, go call Andrew and Da Bai over."

Assam complied, and conveniently, his steed Frost Wolf was also there.

It wasn't long before three robots, along with the mammoth Da Bai and Andrew, all came over together.

Seeing Cao Xing and the others safe, Andrew sincerely said: "The God of Nature protects you, esteemed Lord."

And when Andrew saw the Tree Spirit clan beside Cao Xing, he knew they had completed the task successfully.

Gazing at Juliette, Andrew gave a gentle smile.

Juliette, being watched by the tall Andrew, not only didn't feel afraid but instead felt a sense of kinship.

This was likely because they were both Guardians.

The team regrouped, but compared to before, it now included two centaur warriors.

Liu Muxue tilted her head and softly asked: "Axing, are we heading back now?"

Cao Xing shook his head, "Not just yet, I have something to do in the Borialis Mountains."

Under Liu Muxue's curious gaze, Cao Xing took out an ancient copper-colored key.

"This is…"

Cao Xing smiled: "This is the key to the Goblin Treasury. Its location is nearby; let's see if we can open this treasury."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue also showed a look of delight in her eyes, nodding lightly: "Mm-hmm, I'll follow your lead."

Cao Xing then looked over at Juliette, seeing her shivering from the cold, he took out a full wolf skin from his backpack and handed it over.

Juliette hesitated but finally accepted.

She gratefully looked at Cao Xing, "Thank you."

Cao Xing didn't mind, instead saying: "Next, we have to go to a place first, and once we're done there, I'll take you back to the territory to reunite with your sister."

Though he was in charge, some things still needed to be communicated.

Juliette promptly replied: "No... no problem, do what you need to do..."

Cao Xing nodded, then climbed back onto the Track Robot with Liu Muxue.

As for Juliette, she was placed into the shovel of the Shovel Loader Robot by Cao Xing.

Cao Xing then glanced at the map; they weren't far from the coordinates on the key.

Pushing through the [Teluo Mountain Trade Road] and moving forward a bit more would take them to the Goblin Treasury's location.

Thus, Cao Xing directly announced: "Set off, continue further into the Borialis Mountains!"

Thud! Thud thud!

The team resumed their journey.

Assam and Andrew cleared the path at the front, followed by the two centaurs.

Da Bai guarded by Cao Xing's robot.

Cao Xing leisurely sat on the Track Robot.

With such strong recruited creatures and pets protecting him, Cao Xing felt a strong sense of security.

Taking advantage of the travel time, he planned to check the items dropped from the Shaman Priest.

After all, it was a Boss Level creature!

The last time, from the Hunter Boss, there was a lot of good stuff, further raising Cao Xing's expectations.

With a bit of excitement, a cold aura-covered soul appeared in Cao Xing's hand.

[Cold Aura-Covered Cave Dweller Shaman Soul (Boss Level): A soul imbued with Frost Ice Aura]

(can be used on an Elite Level Second Order follower, greatly increasing the likelihood of evolution into a Boss Level creature, with a success rate of 40%~70%)

...

"As expected, it's a soul for evolving into a Boss! The success rate is similar to the Hunter Boss's soul."

"Great!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed.

Now, he already had two Boss Level creatures.

This soul had a high probability of success, meaning he was likely to gain a third Boss Level creature.

However, deciding who to give the soul to posed a dilemma.

Among his followers: Assam, Andrew, and Renice all met the conditions for usage.

Any of the three evolving into a Boss could provide significant help to Cao Xing.

So, who should it be given to...

...
