Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1199: Chapter 418: The Chicken King’s Metamorphosis, Curse Nemesis!

A Light Feather Chicken was watching him from behind.

”Hmm? Buoyancy?”

Cao Xing wondered, ”Didn’t Muxue just leave without taking you along?”

”Cluck cluck~”

The Light Feather Chicken flapped its wings, hopping around with some unknown intention.

Meanwhile, Liu Muxue’s call request came through.

Upon connecting, he heard her somewhat anxious voice.

”Axing, have you seen Buoyancy?”

Cao Xing replied, ”I’ve seen it; it’s right here in the territory.”

On the other end, Liu Muxue heaved a sigh of relief.

”Phew... Good that you’ve seen it. During the battle just now, Buoyancy slipped away at some point.”

”By the time we realized it, it was already out of sight.”

”I thought it had gone somewhere, but didn’t expect it to have run back to the territory!”

Liu Muxue’s tone was somewhat exasperated.

Cao Xing laughed after hearing this.

This Light Feather Chicken was quite interesting, knowing how to run back home on its own.

”Muxue, you continue the fight, no need to worry about it.”

”Okay.”

With that, both parties hung up the call.

Cao Xing turned to look behind him.

The Light Feather Chicken didn’t chirp, it simply watched Cao Xing, following him wherever he went, resembling a little shadow.

Cao Xing naturally understood what this little guy wanted.

”Buoyancy, want to eat again?”

”Cluck cluck~”

The Light Feather Chicken kept nodding, its white crest slightly trembling.

Its eyes, like black gemstones, filled with longing, fixed on its master.

Buoyancy was the greediest among the few pets Cao Xing kept.

However, it wasn’t too bad.

This guy, although greedy, knew its limits. Feeding it one or two pieces of pet food, or a green quality Life Tree Heart daily, would keep it from pestering you.

Just as Cao Xing was about to take out a piece of pet food to get rid of it,

he suddenly had a different idea.

”In my backpack, there’s still a Commander-level Soul of the Soul-Devouring Worm, unused.”

”Should I try to elevate Buoyancy to Leader level and then let it use this soul?”

The Commander-level Soul had a risk of causing physical deformities if the attempt failed.

Cao Xing didn’t dare to use it on Assam or Isabell and the likes.

But it was different with the Light Feather Chicken.

As an avian creature, even if its body got deformed, it wouldn’t look too bad.

One could say, if it succeeded, it would be a great gain. If it failed, there’d be no loss.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing immediately made up his mind.

However, before that, Buoyancy needed to advance to Leader level in order to metamorphose towards Commander level.

Hence, Cao Xing first took out the Leader Soul dropped by the Mercenary Group Leader from his backpack.

Then directly smacked it into ’Buoyancy’s’ body.

Initially, the Light Feather Chicken couldn’t quite understand what was happening.

Until it felt a surge of intense power within, its black pupils suddenly dilated!

Then, a gentle glow continuously emanated from its body.

”Cluck cluck~ cluck cluck cluck~”

Buoyancy seemed extremely joyful, fluttering its wings continuously.

The aura around it was also steadily rising.

Perhaps because its Luck Value had increased, the breakthrough this time was very smooth.

Before long, a System Prompt appeared,

[Your pet: Buoyancy has broken through to be a Leader-level creature, basic attributes increased by 30%, learning a new skill: Light Feather Protection]

[Light Feather Protection: Gathers feathers and attaches them to 10 allied units, granting them a layer of sacred light barrier that blocks damage, with durability equal to the Light Feather Chicken’s 100% attack power, lasting for 30 seconds; During Light Feather Protection, each ally attack has a 30% chance to trigger an additional Light Feather attack, inflicting magic damage equal to 30% of the Light Feather Chicken’s basic attack power on enemies, cooling time: 120 seconds]

...

”Huh? Actually a group support skill?”

”This effect is great!”

This skill not only provides a light barrier, which is a shield effect.

”Calculating this way, counting all my support skills, everyone basically has five layers of shield?”

Holy Shield 3 layers, Heavenly Sound Shock 1 layer, Light Feather Protection 1 layer.

Moreover, this skill has an ability, during allied attacks, to trigger an additional attack effect, enhancing warriors’ output capabilities.

”Not bad at all, since the previous three pets are basically combat types.”

”Now comes a support type pet, which is also quite a big help to me.”

Just as Cao Xing was about to decide to use the soul on Buoyancy without further ado,

he suddenly realized something.

”No, there have been so many successful attempts before; this time I have a feeling the breakthrough might fail!”

Cao Xing very much trusted his intuition.

So, before letting Buoyancy breakthrough, he had to find something to fail a few times.

In our words, it’s called softening the blow.

Thinking this, Cao Xing exchanged all remaining Ice Dragon Marks in his backpack for Advanced Power Hearts.

Counting the numbers just given by Harati and those left from last time,

there were altogether 147.

”Not bad, with so many, it should be enough for all those Earth Element Mages to breakthrough.”

Then, Cao Xing called out the newly summoned batch of apprentices.

Distributed all the Power Hearts, raising Loyalty again.

Under their excited gazes, Cao Xing announced, ”Now, begin the breakthrough!”

All the mage apprentices slightly bowed, then crushed these crystals.

”Crack! Crash!”

As the sounds of shattering echoed, the pure power was absorbed.

The aura around them also constantly rose upward.
