Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1148: Chapter 403: Encountering the Old Witch Again, Returning to the Territory!

...

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

Clearly, this was another task without punishment or a deadline for completion.

Failure in the quest would not bring him any loss.

And this was exactly the kind of task Mr. Cao liked the most.

So he replied, "Sir, I accept this quest."

"If given the chance, I will attempt to climb Scavi Mountain and bring back your brother’s remains."

Hearing Cao Xing’s agreement, a gentle smile appeared on the beast tamer’s face.

"The Spirit of Ten Thousand Beasts will bless you, helping you succeed in reaching the mountain peak."

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

After speaking, under the beast tamer’s gaze, he left the store.

Once the door closed, a thoughtful look appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes again.

"Unexpectedly, this trip not only found the method to tame Gryphon but also incidentally took on a quest."

"Now, in Merlin City, I have accepted two quests."

He chuckled lightly.

Cao Xing began to examine the attributes of those two Master-level scrolls.

[Master-level Pet Contract Scroll]

[Tool Effect: Can be used on a wild creature below Level 70, making it your exclusive pet with a success rate of 55%~65%]

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

...

...

"Nice, not only can I contract creatures below Level 70, but the success rate has increased significantly."

He nodded in satisfaction.

Cao Xing’s gaze continued to watch the corridor in front.

There were multiple rooms, but he only had one more chance to open a door.

Nevertheless, it didn’t matter.

After all, he had already achieved the biggest goal this time, successfully obtaining the method to tame Gryphon.

Next, Cao Xing was walking leisurely on the third floor.

While walking, he came to a room at the furthest corner of the third floor.

This location was quite secluded, with few people coming here.

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

Holding a try-it-out mentality, Cao Xing pushed the door open directly.

The door opened to reveal an empty room.

Unlike other rooms, there were no cabinets scattered around.

Only an ancient small wooden table was placed in the center of the room.

Opposite the wooden table, sat an elderly person, hunched and exuding a somber aura.

She held her head low as if unable to lift it, her gaze fixed on the table in front of her.

On the table, a crystal ball emitting a faint glow was placed.

The instant he recognized the silhouette, Cao Xing was taken aback, his eyes showing surprise.

Because he knew this elderly woman.

She was the old witch he met before in the Witch Forest, who had told him the tales of three fairy tales and urged him to confront the witch in the forest!

Cao Xing looked at her with a hint of caution in his eyes.

But the old witch raised her head, with a smile appearing in her eyes.

Then she slowly parted her shriveled lips.

"Hohoho...young man, we meet again..."

That familiar hoarse, piercing voice echoed.

Cao Xing furrowed his brows, "How come you are here?"

The old witch chuckled a few times, her voice akin to a worn-out bellows being pulled.

"Hoho...I’m here running a small business."

She slightly raised her withered hand, pointing at the crystal ball on the table.

"Young man, would you like to have a divination? It only costs 1 million Crowns per session."

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

"Is it a thorny path, or will you enjoy wealth and glory, or perhaps fall in the battlefield..."

Her voice carried a strong enchantment, making people irresistibly want to agree to a divination.

But fortunately, Cao Xing’s Spiritual Resistance was high, rendering him immune to this enchantment.

He shook his head, saying, "No need."

He didn’t believe in any form of divination.

After all, even the nearly omniscient Pale Tree was destroyed.

This indicated there was no such thing as omniscience or foresight in the world.

The old witch wasn’t surprised to see Cao Xing decline.

She continued with that hoarse, enchanting voice, "Hohoho...actually, before you came in, I had already done a divination once."

"I saw a future filled with chaos and bloodshed..."

After speaking, she lifted her head, casting a murky gaze at Cao Xing.

"Young man, I think you have foreseen it as well?"

"Someday soon...a crisis sweeping the continent will descend, coloring the world with blood..."

Cao Xing furrowed his brows slightly.

Connecting it with the information he received, Cao Xing speculated that the old witch was referring to the Bloody Army.

Cao Xing asked, "What are you trying to say?"

The old witch continued her eerie gaze at Cao Xing.

"Hohoho...what I want to say is, from that day onward, the world will fall into unprecedented chaos."

"However...this is merely the beginning..."

"As the blood spreads, ****again****, **** of the Netherworld..."

"Then, it will be the time for a major world reshuffling..."

The last few phrases were unclear to Cao Xing, likely masked by the Lord System.

He had encountered this phenomenon before, so it didn’t surprise him anymore.

"Does telling me this serve any purpose?"

The corners of the old witch’s mouth split into an exaggerated, terrifying grin.

"Hoho...young man, would you like to become a believer of a great being?"

"That great being can immediately grant you...Power at the Legendary Level..."

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