Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1608: Chapter 541: Ancient Tree of Knowledge, New Abilities for the Dark Elves

"Renice, let’s discuss something," Cao Xing said.

The archer had a look of confusion in her eyes but still responded respectfully, "Lord, please go ahead."

"What do you think, if I want to have all the elves in that forest submit and come to live in our territory, what are the chances?"

Hearing this, Renice paused for a moment, then replied, "The chances are very low, these elves are inherently proud and extremely xenophobic, and they basically do not communicate with the outside world."

"Otherwise, they wouldn’t have stayed in such a hidden and dangerous place for tens of thousands of years."

"To make them submit would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens..."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, knowing well that it was indeed challenging.

However, Mr. Cao was unwilling to give up on such a rare race.

After all, until now, he had only seen the corpse of an elf but had never actually seen a living one.

So he also wanted to know what abilities this group of ancient elves possessed.

So he said, "How about this, you take this letter and try to make contact with that Elf Tribe."

"Tell them that the tribe’s current situation is unsafe and they need a more stable habitat."

"And in my territory, not only can I offer them shelter, but there’s also the Holy Knowledge Ancient Tree."

"Of course, if they show particularly strong defiance and would rather die than submit, then just let it be."

Renice took the letter from Cao Xing’s hand and solemnly said, "Understood, I’ll make contact with them and figure out a way to make the elves of this tribe submit."

There was a certain determination in her tone.

Evidently, even if the elves disagreed, Renice would use all kinds of methods to make them agree.

Cao Xing nodded slightly, then summoned an adult griffin.

"Whoosh~!"

The huge griffin swiftly flew over and landed beside Renice.

Although the Silver Hand Knight Legion had taken away most of the griffins, a few were left in the territory for emergency use.

Renice lightly leapt and landed atop the griffin’s back.

With Cao Xing seeing her off, she quickly soared into the sky.

Compared to the last outing, her strength had increased significantly.

Presumably, she could navigate that dangerous jungle with ease now.

At this moment, Blom suddenly spoke up, "Lord, is there anything I can do?"

Seeing Assam and Renice both having tasks, he also wanted to contribute to the territory.

Cao Xing smiled, "There’s nothing in particular for you to do. If you’re really bored, you can go patrol outside the territory."

"Alright, I’ll go right now!"

This big guy slung his shield over his back and walked excitedly towards the territory’s border.

Cao Xing continued strolling leisurely within the territory, while pondering his next moves internally.

Currently, both the Tyrant’s Tomb and the Ancient Elf Tribe have people sent for exploration and contact.

But there’s still much more he needs to do.

For instance, go to the Dieyesha Plateau to find the dragon nest and see if he can tame a young dragon.

And the Inheritance Land of that Legendary Mage also needs to be explored with a team.

Then there’s the journey to Youlan Kingdom to find Rosie from Chuanhai Castle, as well as the ruins mentioned by the Dorun Lake City Lord.

Besides this particular ruin, Cao Xing also remembered that Jes from Woodpecker Commerce once mentioned.

Near Youlan Kingdom, there’s another large ruin attracting numerous gold diggers and mercenaries, and even houses the largest Black Market of several nearby kingdoms.

A place potentially filled with many treasures.

Moreover, most importantly, Cao Xing realized that the ancient ruins described by the Dorun Lake City Lord, which contain the Champion Arena, are also near Youlan Kingdom.

In other words, there are actually two large ruins there!

"It seems that a trip to Youlan Kingdom is necessary."

While he was contemplating these things, suddenly there were two crisp voices from behind.

"Lord, please wait for us."

Upon hearing the call, Cao Xing slowly turned around.

He immediately saw two graceful figures.

It was the beautiful Tree Spirit sisters.

Today, they wore plain dresses, with their hair tied up, naturally falling over their shoulders, and each had a flower tucked at their temples.

They looked stunning.

A gentle smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face, then he asked, "Juliette, Nif, what’s the matter?"

The sisters nodded lightly, then said, "We have good news, Lord."

"After half a month of growth, the Ancient Tree of Knowledge in our territory has successfully grown!"

"Oh? It has grown out so quickly?"

Cao Xing was very interested in this ancient tree.

Because according to the seed’s description, this ancient tree could even impart some special abilities to elves and dark elves.

"Take me to see it."

"Okay, please follow us."

Little Nifu and Juliette once again took Cao Xing’s hand, leading him forward.

Then, they arrived at the buffer zone on the outskirts of the territory.

Here lay a small grove, with over a hundred ancient trees growing.

During times of peace, these ancient trees gathered together.

Cao Xing looked around and, sure enough, besides those War Ancient Trees and Wind Ancient Trees, there was a distinctive ancient tree.

It had dark brown bark, its trunk nearly two meters thick and about fifteen meters tall.

And on its crown hung numerous peculiar, emerald green fruits.
