Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 201: Chapter 131: Desecrating the Goddess, Demon Sephinya (6200)_3 Chapter 201: Chapter 131: Desecrating the Goddess, Demon Sephinya (6200)_3 A few hundred Soul-Devouring Monsters, all of them third-tier creatures.

If besieged, even they would not be able to withstand it.

Moreover, such a large disparity in numbers couldn’t be solved by tactics alone.

For a moment, everyone was somewhat at a loss.

Ji Xinyue saw the worry on Cao Xing’s face and continued to pull out the map, seemingly studying something.

After a moment, Ji Xinyue’s eyes suddenly brightened.

“Huh, I see that inside the Torch Temple, there’s a hidden path that seems to lead directly to Kasha Church.”

“A path?”

Cao Xing’s expression immediately lit up upon hearing this, and he moved closer to check the map alongside Ji Xinyue.

As Cao Xing leaned in to look, their cheeks were almost touching.

He was seriously looking at the map, oblivious to it.

But Ji Xinyue was frozen in place, not daring to move.

She could even feel Cao Xing’s body heat and the breath from his nostrils.

For a moment, Ji Xinyue tightly gripped the corner of the map with her ten slender fingers, her heart pounding wildly.

After some observation, Cao Xing indeed found a secret path in the Torch Temple.

He had a plan in mind.

“Let’s go, we’ll take a different route forward.”

With Cao Xing’s command, the team quickly retreated and changed direction.

At this moment, Ji Xinyue followed at the back of the team, her head lowered, seemingly afraid Cao Xing would notice her flushed face.

The group soon arrived at the Torch Temple.

Since they had searched this temple once before, they didn’t find any hidden paths.

But since there were markings on the map, it meant there must be one.

So, they began to search more carefully.

Quickly, Renice activated the [Hunting Eye] and discovered a hidden door on a corner wall.

Cao Xing’s eyes lit up with joy, and he swiftly walked over to unlock the hidden door passage with a [Stone Talisman] in hand.

“Rumble!”

A hidden passageway appeared before everyone.

Cao Xing weighed the Stone Talisman in his hand, delighting, “This thing, really is handy.”

“Indeed, as long as it’s in this Underground Palace, any door can be opened.”

Then he led the team through this passageway.

The path twisted and turned, taking about ten minutes.

Ahead appeared another stone gate.

After opening it with the Stone Talisman, the scene before them suddenly opened up!

Cao Xing saw an extremely spacious cathedral.

With an estimated height of hundreds of meters and an area of about several square kilometers, it looked like a massive plaza.

Rows of stone statues lined both sides.

In the center of the cathedral were numerous opened coffins, with a rough glance revealing six to seven hundred!

“Oh my, so many?”

Cao Xing was secretly shocked.

Clearly, these coffins had been opened, and the Undead inside must have been devoured.

Cao Xing felt a sense of foreboding.

According to what Carlhan said, this Soul-Devouring Demon would enhance its power by devouring the Undead.

This time, having devoured so many Undead, its power must have reached a terrifying level.

However, thinking positively,

With the Undead here devoured, during battle, the Soul-Devouring Demon couldn’t heal by devouring the Undead.

Cao Xing was amused, and a peculiar smile appeared on his face.

He also noticed a luxurious coffin on a platform in the center of the cathedral.

Adorned with sparkling gemstones and golden patterns, it was clearly extraordinary.

This should be Duke Baladin’s coffin.

“Hmm? That’s not right, gemstones!”

Cao Xing’s eyes instantly brightened.

At this moment, Ji Xinyue asked in confusion, “Didn’t they say the demon in Kasha Cathedral was also here?”

“Why can’t we see it?”

Cao Xing also looked around and didn’t spot any demon.

On the contrary, the cathedral was extremely well-lit.

Various fluttering flags and solemn statues made the place appear exceedingly sacred.

Cao Xing also saw a beautiful female statue standing beside the duke’s coffin.

With a well-proportioned figure, holding a shield and a Single-Handed Sword, she wore a half breastplate showcasing her slender waist.

Her long legs were taut, seemingly ready to spring into action.

The entire statue exuded a sense of sanctity and inviolability.

Renice then spoke up, “That’s the Kemier Goddess Statue.”

“Kemier Goddess?”

“Yes.”

Renice nodded, “She is a goddess who governs order and truth, said to rebirth a new order when her power reemerges on Earth.”

Cao Xing nodded, then said,

“Whatever, if that demon isn’t here, it saves us trouble. Let’s just open Duke Baladin’s coffin and make our escape.”

Cao Xing swiftly made a decision.

Then he led the team toward the location of the Kemier Goddess Statue.

The coffin of Duke Baladin was right there, and successfully opening it would mean completing the final task.

Just then,

Cao Xing suddenly noticed the corner of that sacred goddess statue’s mouth curve upwards.

Her stone-carved eyes seemed to have moved slightly, then fixed on Cao Xing and the others.

“Huh?”

Cao Xing looked closely, only to find the statue’s expression had returned to its original state.

He was puzzled, “Did I see it wrong?”

Yet when he looked up again, he found the goddess statue grinning widely, appearing extraordinarily eerie.

This time, Cao Xing was certain he hadn’t seen it wrong, and he hurriedly gave an order.
