Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 2039: Chapter 681: Monster in the Storm—Legendary Giant Rhinoceros! (Part 2)

"The remaining food is just some hard, dry bread, barely enough to stave off hunger."

The militia member nodded suddenly, with a hint of worry in his voice, "This won’t do, your wife is in a critical period now and needs nutritional supplements."

He paused and said, "I heard that last night, Hod and Bran, who were on duty, encountered a starving and crazed wild wolf attacking the city."

"It was shot dead by the arrow tower before it even got close to the wall."

He lowered his voice and cautiously said, "Rumor has it they secretly hid the wolf’s meat at their house..."

Vidal frowned, "What do you mean?"

The militia member leaned closer and whispered, "Don’t get me wrong, I’m not planning to steal their food."

"I’m saying, if we encounter beasts today, perhaps we should do the same..."

"As long as no one else finds out, the City Lord won’t punish us."

Vidal shook his head with a bitter smile, "The chance of such a thing happening is too small, and there are more than just the two of us patrolling."

"Everyone’s watching."

The militia member patted his shoulder, and laughed, "Don’t be so pessimistic, maybe the Goddess of Fortune will smile upon us?"

Vidal was about to respond.

Suddenly, both of them felt a slight tremor.

"Boom..."

They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Vidal, did you feel that?"

"Yes, I felt it. Could it be an earthquake?"

Just as they were puzzled, another intense tremor came.

It was even stronger than before!

Before they could react, the rumbling sound grew closer, and the entire watchtower was shaking slightly.

As if something colossal was rapidly approaching!

They finally realized something was wrong.

They quickly stood up and rushed to the window to look outside!

The snowstorm raged outside, visibility extremely low.

The lighthouse inside the Giant City was continuously sweeping its beams of light into the snowstorm.

And as the lighthouse’s light swept past the distance, it seemed to catch on a huge shadow!

Their gazes were instantly drawn to it, and their hearts began to race.

"What...what is that?" Militia member Vidal’s voice trembled slightly.

The other militia member also widened his eyes, unable to suppress a surge of fear.

At this moment, two glowing, red dots suddenly appeared in the darkness.

Like two enormous eyes, emitting an unsettling red glow!

The height of those glowing dots even exceeded the city walls, as if they belonged to some monstrous entity!

"All Gods above..." the militia member murmured, his voice filled with terror.

Before they could react, the shadow charged out of the snowstorm with a destructive force!

The lighthouse’s beams fell on the monster, revealing its true form.

It was a Legendary Level Ice Giant Rhinoceros, its shoulder height reaching a hundred meters, its body covered in thick ice-blue scales, and the horn on its nose was like a giant sharp blade piercing the sky!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The two militia members snapped out of it and screamed their lungs out, simultaneously sounding the alarm.

"Doo——!"

The dull alarm just sounded, awakening many militia members who were on duty.

However, the silhouette of the giant rhinoceros was already closing in.

The speed of this Legendary Level fierce beast was unimaginably fast!

Its massive hooves crushed the ground, creating a fierce vortex of wind and snow around it.

In a blink, it reached right under the city wall.

"Boom——!!!"

With a heavy, thunderous sound.

The rhinoceros’s horn crashed into the city wall.

The wall, thirty meters thick, crumbled like tofu!

Stones flew everywhere, accompanied by the soldiers’ screams.

Then, this terrifying giant rhinoceros charged into Segra Giant City!

...

...

In the latter half of the night...

Cao Xing gradually put on his clothes.

Behind him, Yilena maintained her half-human, half-snake form, lying on the ground unclothed.

Her body seemed to have exhausted all its strength, becoming limp and even her tail floated powerlessly on the surface.

It was the first time he had worn out this white snake to exhaustion.

Since reaching Level 100, Cao Xing felt his energy becoming incredibly abundant.

As if he had endless strength.

Even in the siege of those two mature women, Cao Xing managed to hold on, and now dealing with a member of the Snake-man Tribe was easy.

"Yilena, I’m heading back," Cao Xing’s voice echoed.

The Snake-man Tribe member weakly replied, "Yes... alright, Lord..."

"I just need to rest a little longer..."

Cao Xing chuckled, then turned and walked outside.

When he pushed open the door of the hot spring hall, the howling cold wind mixed with snowflakes swept in again.

It seemed there were no signs of it lessening.

"Looks like... this storm will continue for a few more days..."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

So far, the storm had lasted about 10 days.

Though his territory temporarily solved its food problem, it’s uncertain for the other survivors’ territories.

As mentioned before, due to various reasons.

During the storm, each territory’s food was being rapidly consumed.

Many territories faced severe conditions due to food depletion, even leading to their downfall.

Just like in Segra Giant City, amongst the circle of survivors, food prices were hiked to astronomical levels.

Those survivors with surplus made a fortune once more.

But even so, compared to the hundreds of thousands of survivors in the large district, and the billions of subjects, this amount of food was insignificant.
