Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem Chapter 44 – Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Repair Successful, Territory Population +1

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Repair Successful, Territory Population +1

“`

The concentrated attack from everyone reduced the Ground Drilling Robot's durability by a third.

At the same time, Frost Wolf Winter, upon being attacked, had green recovery numbers of +22 appearing above its head.

Its blood volume rapidly recovered.

The outcome of the battle was no longer in suspense.

After a few more seconds,

as a puff of black smoke rose from the Ground Drilling Robot,

it reverted from Drilling Form to its upright form, uttering in a dejected voice.

“The robot… defeated…”

[Your territory member: Sarah Blade Dance has killed Ground Drilling Robot lv15, gaining 150 Experience Value]

[All combat personnel received 75 Experience Value…]

This combat personnel included not only everyone on the field but also Yilena back in the territory.

Cao Xing chuckled again.

“Feels like Yilena should have leveled up to 6 by now, right?”

Liu Muxue, witnessing Sarah's graceful attack moves and formidable attack power, couldn't help but praise her.

“Sarah… so amazing!”

Sarah nodded slightly upon hearing Liu Muxue's praise, saying, “Honored to be recognized by you, beautiful Lord.”

Cao Xing rolled his eyes.

This woman never reacted when he praised her.

When Liu Muxue praised her, she'd be so happy.

Shaking his head, Cao Xing approached the now-defunct Ground Drilling Robot.

[Mole Man Technology: Ground Drilling Robot (destroyed)]

[Can be decomposed into Basic Energy Core*1, Iron*120, copper*41, Mithril*27, Magic Energy Stone*6]

[Or repair it using Iron*100, Mithril*10, Magic Energy Stone*5, after which the Ground Drilling Robot will become an ally unit, and you can issue simple commands.]

Seeing the second effect, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

“Huh? It can become an ally unit?”

Cao Xing had already witnessed the Ground Drilling Robot's formidable attack power; in a one-on-one state, Frost Wolf was no match for it.

Plus, this thing could be used for mining too, a multifunctional robot indeed.

Cao Xing glanced at the materials in his backpack.

[Iron*1723]

[Mithril*133]

[Magic Energy Stone*164]

“Good thing, I picked up quite a bit of materials on the way; more than enough to repair the Ground Drilling Robot.”

He then directly clicked on repair.

[Repairing…]

“Creaaak! Creaaak!”

The sound of machinery turning emerged.

Simultaneously, the scrapped robot seemed to come back to life again.

The parts that had been attacked, its iron casing hacked open, exposing electrical components inside.

With the application of various materials, it quickly repaired itself and soon returned to its original state.

A system prompt appeared.

[Repair successful, you lost Iron*100, Mithril*10, Magic Energy Stone*5, you gained Ground Drilling Robot*1, territory population +1]

Cao Xing was taken aback, “This thing counts as a population unit too?”

After contemplating, he didn't mind.

He still had plenty of population cap available.

At this moment, the Ground Drilling Robot stood up again.

“I am… a robot…”

“Master… please command…”

Witnessing this, Sarah, Andrew, and the others cast curious glances.

It seemed strange how the guy they just took down was back on his feet.

Cao Xing took a look at the Ground Drilling Robot's status.

[Mole Man Technology: Ground Drilling Robot]

[Level: Lv15]

[Attack Power: 237~250]

[Armor: 115~124]

[Durability Value: 100/2000]

[Maximum Movement Speed: 30 km/h]

[Energy Consumption: 1 Magic Energy Stone/30 days (low-energy standby state), 1 Magic Energy Stone/1 day (high-energy combat state)]

[Skills: Drilling Form, Drill Ejection]

Other attributes were the same as previously seen.

And now that it was an ally unit, Cao Xing could see its energy consumption and movement values.

“In low-energy mode, it consumes only 1 Magic Energy Stone a month; that energy consumption is quite low.”

Furthermore, the recently repaired Ground Drilling Robot had poor durability value.

Just as Cao Xing was about to restore its durability value,

he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura approaching rapidly.

Assam, highly perceptive, instantly drew his longsword, warning, “Lord, be careful!”

Simultaneously, many pairs of glowing red eyes suddenly appeared in the darkness.

Thump… thump…

Buzz! Buzz buzz!

Hundreds of footsteps, along with the sound of machinery, rushed toward Cao Xing and the others.

Andrew and Sarah's expressions tensed as they entered combat mode.

When Cao Xing locked eyes on them,

a large group of Mole Men appeared wielding daggers, spears, swords, and halberds, numerous in number.

Among them were several robots two to three meters in height.

Cao Xing's gaze swept over the monsters' attributes.

[Mole Man Archer lv11]

[Life Value: 1760]

[Attack Power: 133~135]

…

[Mole Man Soldier lv7]

[Life Value: 640]

[Attack Power: 54~59]

…

[Mole Man Technology: Shovel Loader Robot]

[Level: Lv15]

[Attack Power: 377~394]

[Armor: 134~139]

[Durability Value: 2500]

[Skill: Shovel Form (Activates the bucket, enters excavator form, increasing move speed by 20%)]

[Skill: Bulldozer (Full power forward, flattening all enemies before it, dealing 130% Heavy Strike damage to enemies along the way, with a 50% chance to knock enemies back.)]

…

Besides this Shovel Loader Robot, Cao Xing also noticed a Track Robot with tank treads and another Ground Drilling Robot.

“Wow… this stirred the hornet's nest?” Cao Xing could not help but exclaim.

Hundreds of Mole Men surrounded them, plus three powerful robots.

Even Cao Xing felt pressured.

However, considering the prowess of Sarah and the others, Cao Xing felt reassured.

His recruited creatures were no pushover.

With multiple buffs enhancing them, their survival and endurance capabilities received a substantial boost.

It was more than enough to handle the current situation.

Thus, Cao Xing directly commanded, “Assam, come protect us!”

“Andrew, Sarah, Winter, you go!”

At that moment, the three powerful Second Order creatures obeyed the command, rushing forward without hesitation.

Sarah faced the formation, feeling not fear but excitement.

She licked her rosy lips, murmuring, “My prey is near, now, let the hunt begin!”

The next moment, she melded into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Andrew unhesitatingly entered [Giant Bear Form].

“Roar!!”

A Frost Wolf, a Polar Bear, and a shadow swiftly charged into the Mole Man army to attack.

The two sides clashed head-on.

“Boom! Boom!”

Andrew and the Frost Wolf, these two gigantic figures, leaped into the Mole Man horde, swinging sharp claws.

[-372]

[-8]

[-234]

[-8]

[257]

[-8]

A series of damage numbers floated up.

Mole Men were swatted away in large numbers.

“Squeak! Squeak!”

They were slammed against the walls of the mine, uttering screams.

And just then,

a few Second Order Mole Man Archers at a distance simultaneously launched attacks,

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The sound of arrows cutting through the air repeatedly hit Andrew and Frost Wolf, triggering two layers of armor.

[-54]

[-93]

The damage wasn't too high.

Other Mole Men could only inflict damage in the tens and twenties.

Seeing this, Cao Xing's heart settled.

With their recovery abilities, they could survive under this siege.

“Roar!”

Andrew entered a complete frenzy state at that moment.

He swung his massive bear paws, smashing the heads of low-level Mole Men with each hit.

“Thud! Thud! Thud!”

The Frost Wolf, though not as terrifying, could take down a Mole Man with two or three claw swipes.

Moreover, Sarah in the shadows continuously wielded the Shadow Blade.

Mole Men dropped one by one.

Experience prompts kept appearing.

Meanwhile, Assam dutifully guarded by Cao Xing, ensuring his and Liu Muxue's safety.

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, “Thankfully, Andrew and the others are strong enough.”

“The sudden appearance of so many Mole Men sure did give me a scare.”

Cao Xing noticed the recently repaired Ground Drilling Robot, left with only 100 durability, which is why he hadn't let it join the battle.

He tried casting Ice Healing Skill on it.

A system prompt appeared.

[Ice Healing Skill successfully cast, Talent [Eternal Power] activated, the skill has become a permanent state.]
