Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1517: Chapter 512: Large-Scale Recruitment, Redeeming Priestess Scrolls

Looking at the creatures within the mist, Cao Xing felt a twinge of trepidation in his heart.

"Are they beasts of the snowland? Or something else?"

He instinctively felt something was amiss, so he said: "Isabell, stop emitting the light."

"Alright."

With those words, the woman ceased the glow.

Simultaneously, the dense fog enveloped their surroundings again, and that uneasy feeling in Cao Xing’s heart faded.

He remained high above, his gaze scanning the realm’s surroundings.

After observing for a few minutes and confirming nothing was out of the ordinary, he said directly:

"Let’s go, we’re heading back."

With that, he and Isabell dived straight down toward the area below.

Like piercers through thick clouds, they descended three to four thousand meters before they could faintly see lights emanating from the territory.

Following the direction of the light, the two quickly landed steadily.

At the same time, guided by the realm’s lighthouse, Xiao and the others had already returned to the territory.

Upon seeing Cao Xing, Xiao respectfully approached and said: "Thank you for your guidance, Lord."

Cao Xing said nothing, instead, looking at everyone present.

After confirming no one was missing, he nodded slightly.

Xiao continued: "Lord, these are the spoils we’ve collected from clearing those Ice Nest Monsters recently. Please take a look."

With that, he handed over a green quality backpack.

After receiving it, Cao Xing glanced at the contents, and a smile appeared on his face once again.

[Acquired: Fifth-Order Dragon Blood Warrior Recruitment Scroll*23]

[Acquired: Fifth-Order Elite Dragon Blood Warrior Recruitment Scroll*4]

[Acquired: Ice Dragon Mark*2.7572 million]

[Acquired: Ice Glacier Fragment*1.6744 million]

[Acquired: Dragon Rock Ore (Gold)*4598]

[Acquired: Medium Anti-corruption Potion*22]

...

After the Battle of the Oracle, the system introduced an enhanced version of the Ice Nest, with the monster levels greatly elevated.

Additionally, there was a small chance of dropping the Dragon Blood Warrior Recruitment Scroll.

Although the odds were slim, after nearly half a month of battles, Xiao’s side had gained more than twenty scrolls!

And this was just part of it.

Because Cao Xing had divided his people into two groups, Commander Bojie also led a legion to deal with the enhanced Ice Nest Monsters.

So, there’s likely a decent amount of recruitment scrolls over there too.

"Very well, it seems today we can assemble a company of one hundred Dragon Blood Warriors!"

Cao Xing thought hopefully.

Then, he took out the [Nameless Sword Saint Manual (Orange)] from his backpack and passed it over.

"What is this?" Xiao asked in puzzlement after receiving it.

"Open it and see."

"As you command."

Xiao gradually opened the manual.

As the contents inside unfolded, Xiao’s eyes suddenly grew serious.

Even more so, by the end, he felt an indescribable shock!

He exclaimed: "Unimaginable, this is actually a manual left by a Legendary Sword Saint, recording his life’s work!"

"It even contains legendary battle skills!"

The moment these words were spoken, not only Xiao, but the Star Country knights behind him were equally astonished.

Cao Xing asked: "Xiao, do you have confidence you can learn the abilities from this?"

The swordsman immediately straightened his expression then nodded: "Yes, my esteemed Lord!"

"The various swordsmanship styles recorded in this manual suit me very well. Just a cursory glance has given me many insights."

"If I can practice consistently, I can make a breakthrough in my swordsmanship in a short time, going beyond the Master Level and transforming to the Heroic Level!"

Cao Xing’s eyes showed appreciation.

As expected, someone like Xiao, capable of creating his own sword techniques, is generally a genius in the sword arts.

"Very well, then I’ll entrust this manual to you, and study diligently."

"As you command! I certainly will not disappoint your expectations, my Lord, and will strive to soon comprehend the swordsmanship contained within!"

He cherished the manual like a precious treasure, carefully stowing it in his backpack.

Other swordsmen looked at him with envy.

Being swordsmen themselves, they knew very well how invaluable this manual was.

After all, it contains the insights of a Sword Saint, even with a fabled legendary battle skill, so one might say it’s like receiving personal tutelage from the Legendary Sword Saint himself.

Such a thing could ignite competition among the powerful on the Continent!

Cao Xing continued: "Alright, everyone go to the cafeteria to eat, I’ll come find you later."

"Understood."

The crowd dispersed.

Xiao, filled with excitement, quickly went to the training ground to practice the sword techniques within the manual.

Watching his back, Cao Xing glanced once more at the remaining 10 [Sword Language Stones] in his backpack.

He did not give these stones to Xiao, for many reasons.

One being their rarity.

And who knows, he might encounter a swordsman stronger than Xiao in the future.

He would then bestow these 10 Sword Language Stones to that person to maximize the gains.

While Xiao was already strong, he wasn’t Cao Xing’s ideal candidate yet.

Of course, if Xiao truly proved to be exceptionally gifted and could learn the Sword Saint’s skills in a short time, only then would Cao Xing consider investing such precious resources in him.

At present, looking at the assortment of scrolls in his backpack, a faint smile crossed Cao Xing’s face.

"Very good, over the past fortnight, their battles near the territory have brought me substantial gains too."

"However, defeating these enhanced Ice Nests brings more than just these recruitment scrolls and materials, but also golden points rewards!"

"Those are exceptionally valuable resources, as the Golden Points Store still has many great items not yet redeemed."
