Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 176: Chapter 124: Challenge Task, Generous Rewards Chapter 176: Chapter 124: Challenge Task, Generous Rewards “Who are you, and why have you trespassed into our resting place?” the undead questioned.

Blom, who walked at the forefront, trembled.

This seemingly strong giant appeared to be very afraid of these ghosts.

Seeing no response from them, the undead warrior immediately raised its longsword.

As it released its murderous intent, the temperature dropped a few degrees further.

At that moment, Ji Xinyue timidly stepped forward, saying, “It’s me, the Chosen Lord from outside…”

Seeing Ji Xinyue, the undead’s eyeballs began to move, “Is it you? You unfaithful woman!”

“We were preparing to capture you into the tomb tonight, and then tear you apart piece by piece, letting our warriors taste your flesh and blood!”

Ji Xinyue’s face turned pale instantly, her voice trembling with tears, “W-Why do you treat me like this?”

“Because you broke our agreement!”

“We gave you warriors, we lent you aid, yet you refuse to fulfill your promise and are unwilling to rescue our people!”

Ji Xinyue hastily replied, “You, you, you… you only gave me a few level 6 Ascalon warrior scrolls, with such little power, how could I possibly deal with the monsters inside!”

“You yourself said the monsters inside have third-tier strength, but I’m just a first-tier little warrior, how could I beat those guys inside!”

However, the undead firmly stated, “We do not care about that. You accepted our gift and agreed to our demands, so you must carry them out!”

Hearing this, Ji Xinyue was almost in tears of anxiety.

“Back then, you didn’t tell me there were such powerful monsters inside; you just told me to go to the underground palace to rescue other Ascalon undead.”

“I didn’t know the specifics; I agreed in a complete daze…”

After hearing this, the Ascalon warrior’s tone immediately turned cold, “Hmm? Are you saying you intend to break our agreement?”

Just as he finished speaking, three or four more undead glowing blue light emerged from the surrounding walls.

They all stared at Ji Xinyue with malicious intent.

The chilling aura of the undead kept emanating, lowering the temperature further.

The temperature in the passage had already reached -58°C.

It seemed on the verge of breaking the -60°C threshold.

Cao Xing glanced at the information of this group of undead; sure enough, they were all level 20 and above.

Then, Cao Xing spoke up, “Alright, you bunch of old guys, don’t bully a little girl.”

“You’ve been dead, alive and dead, for thousands of years, shameless enough?”

Hearing this, the group of undead immediately turned their gaze towards Cao Xing.

“Human, this isn’t your business!”

“You trespassed into our resting place, and we haven’t yet settled accounts with you!”

An undead holding a phantom hammer said, “Welf, should we take down this arrogant guy too?”

“It’s been a while since we’ve tasted the flesh of the living!”

Hearing this, all the summoned creatures in the passage instantly entered a combat state.

Clang!

Assam directly drew his longsword, “Do not be disrespectful to the Lord!”

Meanwhile, Sarah had already crept behind an undead, prepared at any moment to deliver a fatal blow.

The atmosphere turned tense and confrontational in an instant!

And that group of undead floated in the air, seemingly ready to pounce on Cao Xing at any time.

Including Liu Muxue, who also raised her shield, standing in front of Cao Xing.

However, Cao Xing calmly said, “Are you sure you want to make a move against me?”

“You’d better think clearly, because very possibly, I am the last living person who would come to rescue your people.”

The undead immediately turned their gaze towards Cao Xing.

“You mean… you are willing to go inside the underground palace to rescue the other Ascalon people?”

Cao Xing shook his head, “First, tell me about the situation inside. If I find it suitable, I’ll go. If it’s too dangerous, I won’t go to die.”

Several Ascalon undead glanced at each other.

Then, the undead holding the Ghost Sword stepped forward and said, “Alright, I’ll take you to the Eternal Hope Hall below.”

“Then our Captain Carlhan will tell you the specifics.”

Cao Xing nodded, then said calmly, “Make way.”

The Ascalon undead heard this and gradually cleared the path.

Cao Xing then led his team further into the depths of the passage.

As they went along, more and more undead appeared in the walls on both sides.

Because of the [Ghost Body] trait, they could move freely through the walls without obstruction.

Dozens of hollow eyes watched Cao Xing and his team.

And as they came down, Ji Xinyue approached Cao Xing and whispered, “Thank you.”

Cao Xing looked at her with some confusion.

This straightforward woman said with a face full of gratitude, “Thank you for speaking up for me earlier.”

When confronted by that group of undead, Ji Xinyue was almost frightened out of her wits.

At that time, Cao Xing stood up for her, which touched Ji Xinyue greatly and felt like a warm current coursing through her heart.

Cao Xing smiled, “It’s nothing, you were indeed deceived by those undead.”

Talking as they went, they had reached the bottom layer of the stairs.

The view opened up suddenly.

They seemed to have entered a spacious hall.

However, the atmosphere in this hall was equally eerie.

The orange-yellow candle flames flickered, swaying continuously, stretching everyone’s shadows to great lengths.

And in the corners of the hall, a large number of coffins were placed.

Those coffins emitted a bluish-black hue, covered with thick dust, appearing to have been there for many years.

Moreover, the stone slabs on the coffins had all been opened, as if a large number of resentful spirits had crawled out from within.
