Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

"This world is a cold hell... no good... no evil... only pain..."

"Only submission to me..."

A strange whisper kept emanating from the box.

Cao Xing's expression looked peculiar.

This thing was indeed sinister.

When the black haze dissipated, Cao Xing saw a palm-sized, square metal box inside the case.

Marita noticed the expression on Cao Xing's face and reminded him again, "Lord Cao Xing, as you can see, this box is an evil thing. Are you sure you still want to buy it?"

Cao Xing nodded, "Yes."

Marita said no more; the transaction between both parties was completed once again.

[Transaction successful: You obtained Devouring Demon Box*1, you lost coins*600,000]

Seeing the transaction complete, Marita's lips curled into a slight smile once more.

"Well, let me tell you how to use this box."

Cao Xing was taken aback, "It has a method of use?"

"Yes, because the demon sealed inside is too powerful, so this box requires specific spells to open or command the demon within."

Cao Xing's eyes flickered with understanding.

Then, Marita taught Cao Xing the various spells.

Cao Xing quickly memorized them in his mind.

Ever since his spiritual power had greatly increased, Cao Xing felt his memory and thinking abilities had improved significantly.

Finally, Marita cautioned, "Lord Cao Xing, remember, when dealing with demons, you must be careful."

"They not only possess various eerie powers but are also adept at deceiving people's hearts."

"If you need to command the demon in the box, remember not to listen to anything it says. After using it, seal the box immediately."

Cao Xing nodded, "I remember, Miss Marita, thank you for the warning."

Thus, their transaction this time could be considered a complete success.

The teams from both sides split up.

Meanwhile, that merchant, Yovan, remained kneeling on the ice, not daring to rise.

After this experience, it seemed he wouldn't be able to stay in the Moon God Trading House any longer.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Cao Xing.

…

The mammoth charged forward at full speed, racing downstream along the wide ice river.

Because of their thunderous steps, flocks of large white birds took flight from the trees on both sides, though their species was unknown.

Twenty minutes later.

Cao Xing arrived within five kilometers of Ji Xinyue's territory.

It seemed her territory was also located near this icy river.

So, he sent a message, "I'm almost there. Are you in the territory?"

There was a quick reply, "I'm here, Lord Cao Xing, waiting for you all along."

"Alright."

With a simple reply, Cao Xing didn't waste words and continued dashing forward.

A few minutes later.

Cao Xing saw a well-developed territory on the banks of that icy river.

At the center of the camp, there was a roaring big bonfire, appearing to be constructed up to level six.

Around the bonfire, over ten buildings were erected.

A level 2 Lord's Hut, a level 2 Polar People Hut, a level 1 Blacksmith Shop, Sewing Shop, Cafeteria, and more.

Although it couldn't compare to Cao Xing's territory's scale, it was considered well-developed among the survivors.

At the moment, eight Polar People were collecting resources in the nearby forest.

The small woods were filled with bare stumps, nearly chopped barren by them.

But fortunately, every half month, the system randomly refreshed new resource points near the territory.

The location of these resource points wasn't fixed, and the types of resources were also random.

You might find a haunted iron mine or a prosperous gold mine; it all depended on luck.

Thud! Thud thud!

Cao Xing continued approaching with his men.

The mammoth's heavy footsteps startled the eight Polar People.

Seeing the imposing presence of Cao Xing and his group, they were terrified.

"Waa!"

The eight Polar People let out a shriek, dropped their tools, and quickly ran back to the territory.

They shouted as they ran.

"Lord! Help!"

"Many powerful monsters are approaching our territory!"

"Lord, run!"

The cries of the Polar People alarmed those within the camp.

Soon, three figures emerged from the Lord's Hut.

A middle-aged man, alongside a tall, thin, somewhat haggard middle-aged woman.

In front of them was a female warrior wielding a great sword.

This was a family of three.

The system's allocation mechanism distributed families, but if they were short or had extra members,

they would end up like Cao Xing and Liu Muxue, with two or three people in a camp.

This family of three also noticed Cao Xing's group, their faces turning drastically.

They even thought of escaping on the spot.

However, the female warrior saw the person on the mammoth waving at her.

For a moment, she refrained from acting rashly.

Quickly, Cao Xing brought his men to the side of this female warrior.

He glanced at the information above the three people's heads.

[Ji Xinyue lv6], [Ji Zhenbing lv5], [Wang Shi lv5]

Cao Xing nodded secretly, this woman was indeed Ji Xinyue, whom he was looking for.

Ji Xinyue, like other survivors, wore a long skirt on her lower body, light armor on her upper body, and draped a wolf skin coat over it, looking somewhat mismatched.

However, her looks were quite beautiful.

Although not as stunning as Liu Muxue, she was eye-catching in a crowd.

And Ji Xinyue observed Cao Xing and his group, and when she saw his name floating above him, she exclaimed, "Lord Cao Xing! You finally made it!"
