Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

"""

"The Ancestor Totem is the source of our Sal's power."

"All Black Smoke Shamans, after breaking through to Leader level, communicate with the Ancestor Totem to gain different abilities."

"And this time, I communicated with this Heroic Spirit."

Listening to Blot's explanation, Cao Xing nodded with realization.

Clearly, Blot's transformation this time was different from other Black Smoke Shamans.

His acquired skill was much more powerful!

After all, what he summoned was a Commander-level creature.

You could tell from the attributes of the Fourth Rank Commander, Victoria, in the territory.

How formidable this level of creature was!

Clearly, this skill was impressively good!

Cao Xing felt very satisfied.

Next, they had to search for a passage leading to the top floor.

Cao Xing ordered, "Everyone, search around and find a way to the top floor."

Upon receiving the order, everyone quickly dispersed.

Including Cao Xing himself, he wandered around the third floor of the castle.

The space of the castle was vast.

Cao Xing searched for a few minutes but didn't find any special places or passages.

Others didn't have any findings either.

But Cao Xing didn't get discouraged.

Because not finding it was fine too.

Worst case, he'd go to the window, use [Ejection Hook], and climb up along the hook.

He had to meet this witch today!

And just then, a graceful figure quickly approached him.

Eight long legs elegantly moved across the floor.

The upper body belonged to a female figure with a devilish body.

It was Hilda.

"Is there something you need, Hilda?"

Hilda slightly raised her chin, with a touch of pride in her eyes, saying, "Do you want the Treasure Box?"

Cao Xing seemed to realize something, "Of course, I want it!"

Hilda's lips curled into a smirk.

"Tch! Come with me, this time, I found it alone."

With that, she turned around and walked towards a corner on the third floor of the castle.

Cao Xing followed behind her.

Soon, the two of them discovered a pile of debris in the corner.

And underneath that pile, Cao Xing saw a corner of a golden box.

"Oh, my! Another Golden Treasure Box!"

He was surprised.

After all, this was the second Golden Treasure Box he had found since entering this castle!

Indeed, exploring such high-level maps yielded great rewards!

This made Cao Xing even more eager to see what he could find on the top floor of the Witch Castle.

"Hilda, well done!"

The Queen Blood Spider in front of him scoffed, "Just found it casually, seeing how you love Treasure Boxes, this Queen graciously helped you find this one."

Cao Xing laughed heartily, not minding at all.

After all, he was familiar with the temperament of this Queen Blood Spider.

As he approached to take a look, the system prompt appeared.

[Found a long-sealed Golden Treasure Box, do you wish to open it?]

"Yes."

[Opened successfully.]

[Obtained: Intermediate Mechanical Factory blueprint*1]

[Obtained: Filth Spirit Ring (Gold)*1]

[Obtained: Demon Pattern Stone*6]

[Obtained: Constant Gold Ingot*7]

[Obtained: Expert-level Elemental Crystal*2]

...

"Haha, it's actually an Intermediate Mechanical Factory blueprint!"

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing exclaimed in amazement.

At the same time, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Because this blueprint was one of the things Cao Xing urgently needed at the moment.

With an Intermediate Mechanical Factory, he could make transportation vehicles to extract resources from further places.

He could also create Arc Star, small combat drones, and more, for modern warfare and so on.

Truly wonderful!

At this time, a ring appeared in Cao Xing's hand.

The overall color of this ring was dark purple, appearing metallic yet resembling crystal material.

He glanced at the attributes.

[Filth Spirit Ring (Gold)]

[Quality: Treasure]

[Equipment Level: Level 30]

[Attached Effect ①: Spirit +120, Agility +80]

[Attached Effect ②: Enchantment (Increases abnormal status infliction rate by 15%, including Bleeding, Poisoning, Frostbite, etc...)]

[Attached Effect ③: Filth Spirit (Increases abnormal damage by 15%, including Corrosion, Life Decay, etc...)]

(Equipment Description: A lost ring, its former owner was a Great Witch Demon.)

...

After reading the attributes, Cao Xing pondered.

"A ring that increases abnormal status infliction rates and damages?"

"This could be given to Sarah and Renice, as they both have Bleeding damage."

However, Cao Xing glanced at Hilda.

Her [Blood Poison] as the main output seemed to be an abnormal status too.

He wondered whether it could benefit from this ring's additional effects.

Thinking it over, Cao Xing decided to give it a try.

So, he directly said, "Hilda, extend your hand."

With a Loyalty of as high as 93, Hilda would not refuse Cao Xing's command.

With a disdainful look, she extended her slender arm.

At this moment, a layer of black gauze covered the back of Hilda's hand, adding a touch of cool beauty.

"Tch! What do you want from this Queen's arm?"

Before she could respond, Cao Xing already grabbed her right hand.

Upon contact with Cao Xing, the Queen Blood Spider shuddered and instinctively withdrew her arm.

"You, you, you... What do you want to do?"

"How dare you touch this Queen's body!"

Cao Xing looked at her full of speechlessness.

And Hilda seemed to realize it too.

She extended her right hand and noticed a dark purple ring on her middle finger.

Those beautiful eyes with smoky makeup showed a surprised expression.

"This is..."
