Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1149: Chapter 403: Encountering the Old Witch Again, Returning to the Territory!

Cao Xing looked deeply at the other person.

Although he knew that this Old Witch must have an unusual status.

She said she could grant him Legendary Level Power immediately, which was beyond his expectations.

Yet, Cao Xing didn’t want to deal with her.

Because there was always an aura about her that made him uncomfortable.

Moreover, the "great existence" she mentioned didn’t seem to be something benevolent.

If it turned out to be an Evil God, that would be troublesome.

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

Upon hearing this response, the Old Witch’s murky eyes showed a hint of surprise.

She seemed not to have expected someone to resist the allure of being Legendary!

After all, a Legendary Level is real Destruction Power.

Masters and Heroes, in front of Legendary, are completely powerless.

And being Legendary is the first step toward becoming Divine!

However, the Old Witch did not force Cao Xing to agree.

Instead, she chuckled softly, "Well, young man..."

"Maybe someday you might change your mind."

"Then we shall meet again, hehe..."

After finishing, the Old Witch transformed into a cloud of black smoke and vanished before him.

After the Old Witch left, Cao Xing felt somewhat confused.

He pondered for a moment but couldn’t figure it out.

He then turned to walk towards the exit.

...

...

After leaving the room, it was already after eight in the evening.

The three floors of this Black Market, a total of 15 rooms, had all been opened by him.

There was no reason to stay further.

So Cao Xing left the Castle.

Outside, Eliza, Renice, and Sarah were waiting silently.

Upon seeing him, they immediately expressed their joy.

"Lord, you’re back!"

Eliza’s crisp voice rang out.

Seeing the gentle smiles on the faces of these three women, a bit of worry in Cao Xing’s heart dissipated.

His mood gradually improved.

Cao Xing nodded and then smiled, "Let’s go back to the Tavern now."

"Rest well tonight, tomorrow we’ll return to the Territory."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the three girls lit up with joy.

Eliza cheered, "Yay! Tomorrow we can go home!"

"The big city is lively, but it doesn’t feel as comfortable as our Territory!"

Renice and Sarah shared the same sentiments.

Cao Xing chuckled.

Then he led Eliza and the others back to Viersing Tavern.

When they opened the Tavern door, all four stood still without immediately entering.

They were puzzled because today’s atmosphere felt somewhat different.

Compared to yesterday, everyone’s expression was serious.

All the people remained silent, as if something bad had happened.

Even the bartenders weaving through the hall were silent.

Eliza whispered in Cao Xing’s ear, "Lord, something seems wrong..."

Cao Xing didn’t speak; he directly pulled over a bartender.

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

Seeing it was Cao Xing, the bartender’s face immediately showed respect, and he said,

"Sir, it’s Miss Gweneth, something happened to her."

"Something happened?" Cao Xing asked puzzled.

"Yes."

The bartender respectfully replied, "For some unknown reason, Miss Gweneth suddenly collapsed without any warning while performing tonight."

"We called the Doctor over and managed to revive her, but found she couldn’t speak!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing immediately realized the issue.

It’s likely because of the [Black Crow Poison] on this woman.

Though he had cautioned her, the poison ultimately erupted.

It was the cause of her being unable to speak.

This woman’s singing had a unique Magic Power that even Cao Xing and Sarah couldn’t resist.

Clearly, someone was jealous of her voice, so they poisoned her, robbing her of her sound.

Such an act is even more cruel than killing her.

Cao Xing couldn’t help but exclaim, "That’s truly vicious..."

"Indeed!"

The bartender agreed fiercely, "Miss Gweneth fainted again after realizing the situation, unable to bear the truth."

"The Woodpecker Commerce is very angry, deploying forces to investigate the culprit."

"They also called all prominent Doctors in the city, hoping to restore Miss Gweneth."

"If she really can’t speak again, it would be a great loss for us all..."

The bartender’s eyes were full of regret.

Beside her, Eliza’s eyes showed pity, "Oh... The sister with the beautiful voice can’t speak anymore?"

"That’s too pitiful..."

Sarah and Renice also felt some regret.

After all, such a perfect voice disappearing from the world is a true loss.

Cao Xing shook his head slightly, feeling touched.

He had already given his warning, and now it’s just a matter of whether Gweneth can recover.

Cao Xing turned to Sarah and the others and said, "Let’s go back and rest."

Everyone nodded lightly.

And then returned to their rooms.

Once inside his room, Cao Xing lay down directly.

The night was peaceful.

Except for the occasional sound of footsteps and noise outside the Tavern.

The soldiers were searching for the culprit, working throughout the night.

Cao Xing soon fell asleep.

...

...

The next day.

As dawn broke, the System Prompt announced the start of the fifth day’s ’Zhuoma’s Claw’ challenge.

Cao Xing opened his eyes promptly.

He pressed the Communication Device on his ear and activated the team channel.

"Everyone, it’s daylight, prepare to wake up."

Upon hearing Cao Xing’s command, the Wild Boar Warrior, Sarah, and others quickly awoke.

A few minutes later, everyone had gathered at the Tavern’s entrance.

Wild Boar Warriors, plus 1 Ascalon Soldier, and Sarah among others, totaled 14 people.

Cao Xing glanced at the Ascalon Soldier and said, "Yaskin, you’re coming back with us."

With matters in Merlin City mostly settled, Cao Xing had no other plans at the moment.

Given Yaskin was still at Level 30.

Returning to battle would quickly elevate him to Fourth Rank Max Level, and leveraging the Divine Altar’s Power can boost him directly to Fifth Rank.

Yaskin listened and respectfully said, "Understood, Lord."

Once spoken, the group headed towards the city gate.

Through the bustling crowd.

Soon, they arrived at the city gate.

And smoothly retrieved Da Bai from the Beast Stables.

"Moo..."

The Mammoth hadn’t seen Cao Xing for two days, was feeling nostalgic, and kept rubbing its huge head against Cao Xing’s body.

Cao Xing laughed and patted its ear, then mounted Da Bai’s back.

"Let’s go, returning home."

Da Bai immediately moved its sturdy legs, taking Cao Xing towards the Territory.

Passersby at the city gate watched the figure riding a Mammoth gradually disappear, their eyes showing both admiration and envy...

Shortly after Cao Xing and his party left.

A man in a plain gray coat, in his thirties, followed out from the city gate.

He watched the departing backs of Cao Xing and his party, then pulled out a strange decoration from his backpack.

After reaching a deserted corner, he whispered in a low voice.

"Squad Leader, the target has left the city, prepare to act!"
