Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Cao Xing asked, "How is it, does this ring work for you?"

He was particularly concerned about whether the ring could enhance Hilda's blood poison effect.

Hilda, after hearing this, also carefully felt it.

Then she nodded slightly.

"I felt a cold energy on it, this ring seems to be able to strengthen the corrosiveness of my blood poison."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

It really could!

Hilda extended her beautiful right hand, carefully observing the ring.

Then she asked, "Is this a gift for the queen?"

Cao Xing was stunned and then laughed, "Sort of."

Upon hearing that, a curve appeared on Hilda's bewitchingly beautiful face.

"At least you have some conscience."

At this point, she seemed to realize something, then disdained:

"Tch! This queen doesn't care for your gift..."

[Due to your generous gift, Hilda Bloodkiss's loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 97.]

...

Cao Xing chuckled.

Now, it seemed the loyalty of this Queen Blood Spider had been restored.

Then, they continued searching in the tower.

At this moment, Renice, holding the Horned Eagle Great Bow, walked over and respectfully reported.

"Lord, I discovered something suspicious up front."

"It seems to be a pool, but there's a hidden energy shield over it. With my power, it seems I can't break it."

Renice had the [Hunting Eye] skill, which allowed her to see through some hidden things.

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing immediately realized something.

"Such a place exists? Renice, take me to see it."

"As you command."

Soon, they arrived at the small black pool that Renice mentioned.

The pool was not large, square-shaped, about seven or eight square meters.

And Cao Xing's [True Vision] could also see that there was a hidden energy shield over it.

[Vivian's Sealing Spirit Barrier]

[Armor: 3500]

[Durability: 200000/200000]

[Side Effect: Superlimit Rune (Immune to attacks below the Fifth Rank)]

...

"Immune to attacks below the Fifth Rank?"

Cao Xing's eyes showed a contemplative look.

Clearly, now was the time to use [Vivian's Hairpin (Orange)].

Hence, Cao Xing took out the jade hairpin from his backpack.

Then, directly stabbed it forward.

"Pop!"

With a crisp sound.

The barrier above the black pool instantly dissipated.

An invisible energy began to release.

A large amount of black mist started rising from the pool.

"Swish... swish..."

The black liquid churned below.

In no time, a shape resembling a portal appeared above.

Cao Xing was also alert, watching the movement before him.

When the portal fully formed, Cao Xing also saw its attributes.

[Castle Portal]

[Quality: Unknown]

[Function: Enter the portal to access the topmost level of the castle]

...

Cao Xing took a deep breath.

"My goodness, so that's how it is!"

"Great, the portal to the top level is open!"

He was overjoyed, then immediately called everyone over.

The crowd gathered around the portal, eyes filled with curiosity.

After a moment of contemplation.

Cao Xing decided it was best for Assam to enter first.

Assam stood upright, then without hesitation, stepped into the teleportation array.

The next moment, the tall figure of the Frost Wolf Knight vanished.

Moments later, Cao Xing used the communication device on his ear to ask, "Assam, what's the situation?"

"… Crackle… Crackle…"

Assam's voice came through.

"Returning to the lord, I am fine so far."

"It seems to be a castle hall here too, there are many rooms on the side, and I smell a very strong herbal aroma."

Herbal aroma?

Hearing this, Cao Xing also showed a curious look.

Then he directly said, "Let's go in as well."

As he finished speaking, he led the group and stepped into the portal together.

The scene before his eyes flashed.

When Cao Xing's sight recovered, he first saw his subordinates beside him.

Liu Muxue held a shield, protectively guarding his side.

Cao Xing began observing the surroundings.

The lighting on the top level of the castle still appeared quite dim.

Only moonlight shone through the windows overhead.

They could barely make out the scene ahead.

Indeed, as Assam said, there appeared a spacious hall in front.

In the center of the hall was a strange, large array; black powder appeared at the edges, seemingly as if some evil creature emerged from the array.

On both sides of the hall were small rooms with wooden doors.

"Sniff sniff..."

Little Elysa kept twitching her nose, seeming to sniff something.

"So fragrant! It's the smell of cookies!"

However, the centaur next to her said, "No, it seems like the scent of various mixed plants!"

Including Cao Xing, everyone detected a special aroma.

The crowd sniffed the strange herbal scent one after another.

Cao Xing said directly, "The scent seems to be spreading from those rooms, let's go check it out."

After saying this, he followed the herbal aroma and pushed open one of the rooms.

He was instantly astonished by what he saw.

Inside were rows of shelves, and beside the shelves were all sorts of potions placed!

Some of these potions were red, others green, a dazzling array at first glance.

Moreover, just from the aura contained in these potions, it could be sensed that the quality must be very high!

"My goodness, so many potions?"

Cao Xing was instantly taken aback!

Then, as if discovering some treasure, he quickly rushed over.
