Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 114 - 98: The Demon in the Snow

“Roar!”

The roar echoed across the entire snowy plain, waking all the subjects in the middle of the night.

At the same time, several basic elemental arrow towers built within the territory automatically launched attacks.

“Swish! Swish, swish, swish!”

The sound of arrows piercing through the air was heard.

Xia Yanni was still attending to Cao Xing when she heard the roar, instantly turning her face pale with fright.

“S-sir… what’s happening outside?”

Cao Xing gently helped her up, then dressed her, “I’ll go check. You stay inside with Chuchu and don’t go out.”

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

Hearing the reassuring words that felt like a family member’s advice, Xia Yanni’s heart filled with a sweet warmth.

She nodded heavily, “Okay!”

Cao Xing quickly stepped out of the sewing shop.

Meanwhile, the subjects were also coming out one after another.

Assam had rushed out of his room the moment the roar sounded.

Upon seeing Cao Xing, Assam quickly warned, “Lord, be careful, that was the cry of a Snow Demon.”

“Snow Demon?”

Assam nodded, “Yes, it’s an evil creature that only appears at night.”

“It’s said that Snow Demons are a fusion of the resentful spirits of the dead in the snow, and they like to sneak near villagers’ houses, disguising themselves as humans to knock on doors. If you open the door, the Snow Demon will extract your heart.”

Cao Xing was taken aback, “What if I don’t open the door?”

Assam shook his head, “If you don’t open the door, they will break in and eat the hearts of everyone in the room.”

Cao Xing felt speechless; if targeted by a Snow Demon, there was no escaping death.

Assam continued, “It seems to want to attack our territory, but an invisible force stopped it.”

Cao Xing nodded.

The benefits of the novice protection period were evident; even if monsters invaded at night, there was no need to worry.

With Assam accompanying him, Cao Xing swiftly reached the edge of the territory.

At this moment, the lights from two lighthouses shone onto the snow outside the territory.

Revealing a completely gray-white monster, standing on all fours, with antlers on its head.

At this moment, the monster was covered in arrows shot by elemental arrow towers, blood continuously seeping from its body, staining the snow red.

However, green numbers like +313, +313 kept appearing on its head; the damage from the elemental arrow towers seemed to be nullified.

“Roar! Roar!”

The Snow Demon let out a low growl.

Seeing so many people in the territory, the antlered monster suddenly stood upright, towering over three meters tall, looking like a devil in the snow!

Not only that, it exhibited human-like gestures, extending a front hoof, pretending to knock on air in front of it.

Even more bizarre, they actually heard the knocking sound.

“Bang! Bang, bang!”

The dull knocking sound echoed in everyone’s ears, like the drumbeat of doom.

This scene left everyone in a daze.

At this moment, the Snow Demon remained standing, looking at the people in the territory, slowly opened its pitch-black mouth.

It seemed to say, “I’ve got my eyes on you!”

The Polar People shivered like chaff in fear.

Assam explained on the side, “Lord, this Snow Demon has targeted us, which might be a bit troublesome.”

“Hmm? Is the Snow Demon very strong?”

“Not too strong, but Snow Demons are very hard to kill. They have strong survival capabilities in the snow and are extremely troublesome.”

Assam said, “Once targeted by them, even if you avoid them the first night, they’ll return the second night, continuing until they’ve devoured the heart of their target.”

Cao Xing furrowed his brows upon hearing this.

If so, it was indeed troublesome.

After all, no one wanted a monster like that appearing outside their house every night.

Cao Xing glanced at the creature’s attributes.

[Snow Demon lv15]

[Race: Unknown]

[Rank: Second Order Boss Level Creature]

[Life Value: 6520/6530]

[Attack Power: 335~374]

[Skills: Resentful Spirit Body (Immunity to 50% Physical Damage)

Elemental Body (Immunity to 50% Magic Damage)

Heart-Plucking Tongue (Extend a long tongue to attack enemies’ hearts within 10 meters, causing 230% damage, with a chance of instant death)

Snow God You (When blood volume drops below 30%, evasion probability increases by 50%, and can transform into Elemental Body to merge into the snow and quickly escape, immune to all control skills in Snow God You state)]

[Talent: Snow Plain Body (In snow, recover 5% life value per second)]

…

Goodness! The Snow Demon’s strength wasn’t exceedingly high, but its survival capabilities were terrifyingly formidable.

With immunity to 50% physical and magic damage, its survivability rivaled even that of leader monsters of the same level.

Add in the recovery of 5% of its blood each second and an escape skill.

It was no wonder Assam said Snow Demons were hard to kill; defeating it was a challenge indeed.

At that moment, the Snow Demon remained upright, its antlers framing a pair of dreadful, dark eyes fixed on the people in the territory, chilling them to the bone!

Cao Xing fell into deep contemplation.

With the territory shield about to be lifted, having such a pesky creature constantly lurking wasn’t a solution.

If what Assam said was accurate and the monster appeared every night, how could Cao Xing sleep?

The best course of action was clearly to take down the Snow Demon permanently.

“And to handle creatures with such absurd recovery and survival abilities, overwhelming force must be used to suppress them, achieving instant slaying.”

Cao Xing assessed the strength within the territory and made up his mind.

He led Assam to the territory’s edge, only about fifteen meters from the Snow Demon.

At that moment, the Snow Demon stared at Cao Xing, black liquid dripping from its mouth, its gaze fixed on his heart.

Cao Xing felt a sting in his chest, but rather than flinch, he took the initiative to speak.

“Do you want to eat my heart?”

Cao Xing pointed to his chest.

The Snow Demon, as if understanding human speech, slowly nodded, its eyes showing a longing expression.

Cao Xing did not feel much fear; in such a fantastical world, encountering bizarre creatures was not surprising.

He continued to speak, drawing the Snow Demon’s attention.

Moreover, Blot Sulfur Stone and Renice also stood beside Cao Xing one after another.

Gradually, more and more people gathered around him.

They all unleashed their aura, yet the Snow Demon, rather than being intimidated, seemed more eager, drawn by the formidable life force displayed by everyone.

At the same time.

Sarah, Andrew, and two Centaurs had stealthily exited from the other side of the territory.

They began encircling the Snow Demon from different positions.

Before long, Cao Xing noticed four figures appearing behind the Snow Demon.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Cao Xing commanded, “Prepare.”

At that moment, Renice pulled back her bowstring, and Blot was gathering the power of black smoke.

Assam raised his longsword high, ready to unleash Frost Wolf Sword Energy at any moment!

And Cao Xing, pulled out Barrett directly.

He intended to annihilate the Snow Demon with a thunderous approach!

At this time, the Snow Demon also saw the brewing attacks from the creatures within the camp,

Yet it showed no signs of fear and scanned each person with hollow eyes.

The Snow Demon had great confidence in its survival capabilities, believing these people posed no real threat to it.

Seeing Sarah and Andrew had both taken their positions,

Cao Xing ordered, “Attack with full force! Take it down for me!”

As the command fell,

A Wind Chasing Arrow shot out instantly.

Simultaneously, a Black Smoke Storm rose in the fifteen-meter perimeter around the Snow Demon.

Cao Xing’s Barrett fired a bullet at this precise moment.

Meanwhile, the Frost Wolf Knight unleashed a sword qi sweeping across.

In an instant.

The area where the Snow Demon stood was engulfed by varied assaults, the air filled with dense damage numbers.

[-131]

[-134]

[-254]

[-256]

[-357!]

[-331]

Though everyone’s attacks were significantly weakened, one wave took nearly 1700 blood points off the Snow Demon!

Cao Xing’s eyes lit up immediately, “There’s hope!”

The Snow Demon seemed not to have expected such ferocious attacks from these few individuals.

“Roar! Roar!”

A series of furious roars ensued.

A green number of +326 appeared on its head.

At that very moment, attacks from two arrow towers reduced its regained blood volume once more.

The Snow Demon attempted to flee, but the Black Smoke Storm raged on, significantly slowing its movements.

Cao Xing directly ordered, “Charge in, and finish it with everything you’ve got!”

Assam was the first to respond.

He raised his longsword, gathering terrifying sword qi.

“In the name of justice, slay all evils!”

The next moment, the Frost Wolf charged into the mist,

“Shua! Shua, shua, shua!”

Four terrifying sword qis swept across.

[-194]

[-211]

[-237]

[-258]

The Snow Demon’s blood volume dropped by another thousand, and its defensive power plunged tremendously.

Even more terrifying, Andrew and Sarah had already charged into the Black Smoke Storm.

Sarah entered the Shadow Blossom state directly.

The Shadow Blade in her hand swept across instantly.

[-1164]

This strike landed squarely on the Snow Demon’s artery, dropping its blood volume below 4000.

And at that moment, the Druid slammed down a paw.

[-224]

The damage wasn’t high, but it left a bear paw mark on the Snow Demon’s head.

The Snow Demon’s defense value dropped another notch.

Simultaneously, Sarah’s second strike slashed down.

[-1243]

Another terrifying damage.

The Snow Demon’s blood volume fell to below 3000 directly.

“Roar!”

The Snow Demon panicked completely, beginning to flee recklessly on all fours, disregarding its injuries.

However, Assam and Andrew kept it restrained, enduring massive damage.

In the meantime.

Sarah’s third strike also descended.

[-1241]

The Snow Demon had barely over 2000 blood points left.

Cao Xing’s eyes lit up instantly, “Burst! Quick, burst!”

At that precise instant, all territory members unleashed terrifying attacks.

And Cao Xing did not hesitate to pull the trigger.

Bang!
