Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1629: Chapter 547: The Final Half-Month of Development—Here Comes the Money

”Yes.”

As those words fell, these captains stepped forward and handed several backpacks to Lord Cao Xing.

Lord Cao Xing accepted them and upon seeing their contents, a subtle curve formed on his lips.

Then, he proceeded to transfer all the resources inside them into his own backpack.

[Obtained: coins*10 billion]

[Obtained: food*8 million]

...

Lord Cao Xing secretly sighed: ”Great, now the resources are more than sufficient!”

”Next, as long as all these warriors break through, I will soon have over a thousand sixth-tier warriors.”

Moreover, these warriors are not ordinary sixth-tier warriors.

With the blessings bestowed on them, each possesses the combat power to take on leaders of the same level.

In other words, apart from lacking extra skills, they already resemble leaders!

That means Lord Cao Xing will suddenly possess over a thousand masters!

The magnitude of this concept is imaginable!

It’s worth noting that even a kingdom’s foundation does not have this many master-level strong people.

Just thinking about it is exciting!

Lord Cao Xing suppressed the excitement in his heart and then said: ”General Kro, the teleportation array needs six hours to cool down. During this time, you can wait in the tavern.”

”I will have the bartender especially cater to you.”

Kro replied: ”No problem, I’ve long wanted to taste the fine brew treasured by Lord Cao Xing!”

”My brothers have heard from me that the taste of the brew in Cao Xing’s territory is superb, and they’ve been craving it!”

Lord Cao Xing laughed heartily, ”That’s no problem, everyone drink freely.”

After all, during this period, Zelco at the brewery has brewed quite a bit of [Refined Rum].

Letting these captains drink to their heart’s content is completely fine.

Then, Lord Cao Xing called over the bartender Rach and had them lead the group of kingdom generals and captains to the tavern.

”Next, the warriors can proceed to break through!” Lord Cao Xing thought excitedly.

But before that, he must first utilize the [Shining New Star] special effect from atop the [Shining Throne], which occurs once a week.

Pushing open the Lord Castle’s door, Lord Cao Xing quickly activated the special effect from above.

”Buzz!”

A glowing star shot into the sky and then fell in a certain southwestern region.

On the small map, a location was instantly illuminated.

Lord Cao Xing glanced at it; the area was labeled as [Snow Residue Wilderness].

Yet another area he had never explored before.

Following old protocols, Lord Cao Xing first summoned the half-man centaur Harati and then assigned her the exploration task.

The Saint respectfully said, ”I guarantee to complete the task, honorable Lord!”

Soon she led a team of centaurs and left the place.

Lord Cao Xing clapped his hands and exited the Lord Castle.

At this time, his ears were filled with electronic buzzing sounds.

It was a message from Assam’s side.

”Honorable Lord, I report my exploration progress to you.”

”Last night, Frost and I successfully reached the target area.”

”As you expected, there’s a hidden tomb here, quite concealed, with a large door preventing entry.”

About three days ago, Lord Cao Xing dispatched Assam to search for other set pieces.

So now, they had reached their destination.

Assam continued: ”That door is very sturdy, impossible to break with brute force, but in the end, I successfully deciphered the mechanism above it with the aid of a symbol on the helmet and opened the door.”

”After entering, I encountered two battles; the enemies were a type of dark creatures.”

”After successfully slaying these monsters, I entered the tomb chamber and inside I found a group of survivors’ bodies.”

”They seemed to have come through some special means but encountered those dark creatures and were wiped out here, having been dead for nearly half a month.”

”Bypassing the corpses, I explored the tomb chamber and then entered the Trial Land, starting the first wave of challenges.

”After completing the challenge, I successfully obtained the second piece of equipment, the Tyrant’s Hand.”

”This trial seems to consist of six waves; I guess each wave should have a piece of tyrant equipment.”

”As for the last wave... I don’t know what it will be.”

Because their long-distance communication device has a 30-second cooling time, Assam said a lot at once.

Lord Cao Xing thought for a moment after listening.

Indeed, places like Lloyd’s Tomb also have mechanisms akin to the Sword Saint Inheritance with puzzle and challenge elements.

Only by passing through one trial wave after another could one obtain other set pieces.

And Assam had proven trustworthy, having already passed the first trial wave quickly.

Lord Cao Xing replied, ”Understood, Assam, just continue participating in the trials.”

”If you encounter any problem or unbeatable enemies, do not resist forcefully; remember to retreat immediately and contact me.”

”Proceed cautiously.”

At this moment, Assam in the tomb chamber listened to Lord Cao Xing’s advice and slowly showed a moved expression.

He then solemnly replied, ”Yes, honorable Lord!”

”Assam will not fail the entrusted task!”

With those words, the knight ended the communication.

His gaze fixed on the bright red trial arena ahead, he resolutely stepped forward!

After entering, it didn’t take long for a special sound to emerge from the front.

”Trialist, the next round is the second probe—the Trial of Scorching Heart.”

”Please endure for over 30 minutes in a high-temperature environment; during which, the temperature will continue to rise and some special monsters may appear.”

”Once the challenge begins, withdrawal is impossible, please choose wisely.”

Assam took a deep breath, mounted on Frost Wolf’s back, and resolutely said: ”Come on, I’m ready!”

”As you wish...”

Instantly, the large door behind him closed!

The room temperature sharply escalated!

Within mere seconds, it soared above 100°C!

As someone who lived long in polar regions, the Frost Wolf Knight suddenly entered such a high-temperature environment, feeling a wave of discomfort!

Even the air inhaled felt intensely scorching, eroding his internal organs.

Assam instantly felt a stabbing pain!

And this was merely the beginning.

As one strange creature after another emerged within the tomb, quickly closing in on him.

The Frost Wolf Knight felt a deep sense of crisis.

However, he quickly adjusted his status.

Riding atop Frost Wolf, he firmly gazed forward and said: ”Come on, I will not lose!”

The battle began instantly!
