Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 213: Chapter 135: Golden Treasure Box, Kingdom Holy Ring!_2 Chapter 213: Chapter 135: Golden Treasure Box, Kingdom Holy Ring!_2 But due to the death of the Soul-Devouring Demon, these Soul-Devouring Monsters lost their source of power and disappeared on the spot.

Cao Xing felt somewhat regretful in his heart.

“What a pity, there were so many Soul-Devouring Monsters in this underground palace. If I had wiped them all out, how many elite and boss souls would have exploded for me, how much experience could they provide!”

Although Cao Xing also knew he was just daydreaming.

After all, whether they had the ability to defeat so many Soul-Devouring Monsters was another matter.

But it didn’t stop him from imagining.

After leaving the Kasha Cathedral, the group followed the map directly to the Eternal Hope Temple.

Here too, there were many coffins.

Cao Xing’s eyes lit up once again.

Just as Cao Xing was about to let his subordinates start looting,

A group of undead silently drifted over.

This made Cao Xing stop his looting actions.

Leading them was Duke Baladin and Lieutenant Carlhan.

In no time, more and more undead emerged from the walls.

In the blink of an eye, the number of undead gathered here reached over a thousand!

The aura they emitted quickly lowered the temperature of the entire underground palace.

This caused a trace of tension to rise within Cao Xing.

So many undead swarming over would easily tear them apart!

However, Cao Xing did not feel much fear.

If they dared to act, Cao Xing would just release the devil from the Devouring Demon Box, and they’d all go down together!

Yet, the group of undead showed no hostility upon seeing Cao Xing and the others, instead displaying expressions of gratitude.

As Duke Baladin slowly began to speak,

“Let all of us Ascalon People bestow the highest respect to this group of heroes who have slain the Soul-Devouring Demon!”

With those words, Duke Baladin knelt on one knee.

All the other undead knelt in unison.

Then, they spoke with hollow voices, solemnly saying, “Thank you, you are our heroes of the Ascalon People!”

“The Ascalon People will forever remember your names.”

Seeing such solemnity from the undead, everyone felt somewhat embarrassed.

Cao Xing coughed twice, then said, “Everyone, there’s no need for such courtesy. I am a Lord, one of my subjects is your Ascalon People.”

“When I learned that her kin were suffering from the Soul-Devouring Monster invasion, I felt extremely pained as well.”

“So, to save her kin, to free you from your torment, I rushed here!”

At this moment, the group of undead all raised their heads, then saw Renice behind Cao Xing, whose hollow eyes brightened a little.

“Lord…”

Renice behind him was already moved beyond comprehension.

She never thought Cao Xing would value her feelings so highly.

Renice’s pupils gradually became wet, she even wanted to hug Cao Xing then and there.

At this moment, all the undead looked at Cao Xing, their eyes once again showing an expression of being moved.

Though, Cao Xing was bluffing.

It wasn’t because of Renice that he came to the Ascalon Tomb.

However, at this point, whatever he said went.

After all, who could say Cao Xing’s words weren’t true?

He killed the Demon, and therefore, he was an Ascalon hero, a point that no one could deny!

Meanwhile, the System Prompt appeared.

[Due to your respect for the Ascalon People, the Ascalon Camp Favorability has further increased. Current favorability: Intimate!]

(Note: Under the Intimate Favorability status, they will see you as one of their own, and henceforth you will be able to freely enter and exit all areas of the Ascalon Undead without being attacked.)

[Your Territory Member: Renice Eagle Eye was impressed by your character, and loyalty has further increased. With loyalty now full, a special effect is triggered: Deadly Loyalty.]

…

Hearing the system prompt, a smile appeared on Cao Xing’s lips.

The third subordinate with Deadly Loyalty had emerged!

From now on, whatever he did, Renice would never betray him.

Moreover, he also further gained the favorability of the Ascalon People.

So much so that he could even freely enter and exit all the Ascalon areas!

Behind this, great benefits lay hidden.

After all, the Ascalon ruins were not limited to just this tomb!

Cao Xing thought to himself, “Indeed, to be a competent lord, one needs strong martial prowess as well as a silver tongue.”

Duke Baladin said with emotion, “You are the most caring Lord I’ve ever seen. If His Majesty the King had been willing to listen to our opinions like you, he would not have gone astray…”

Including other Ascalon Undead, they all raised their heads.

Their eyes bore envious expressions as they gazed at the subjects behind Cao Xing.

This scene filled Assam, Blom, and others with a sense of honor!

It turns out that following such a powerful, empathetic lord was something one could envy.

Cao Xing nodded and said, “I treat every one of my subjects equally.”

“Everyone, please rise.”

At this moment, all the undead stood up.

Lieutenant Carlhan and Duke Baladin both approached Cao Xing.

Cao Xing looked at the undead before him and smiled lightly, “Nice to see you again, Lieutenant Carlhan.”

The undead Carlhan nodded, his face excited, “Nice to see you again, Lord Cao Xing.”

“It’s hard to imagine that you actually destroyed the demon’s soul!”

“I never thought you could do it. At first, I even thought you would be wiped out in front of the first temple!”
