Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem Chapter 77 – Chapter 77: Chapter 73: Discover the Hidden Area!_2

Chapter 77: Chapter 73: Discover the Hidden Area!_2

Although the increase wasn't much, only 2 points, it was still good.

Cao Xing smiled and said, “As expected, women love to hear compliments. It seems in the future, I should praise my subordinates more often.”

To Cao Xing, this was just a matter of moving his lips.

“Gather! Follow me over there.”

Cao Xing directly led the group toward the patch of grass.

As they approached, a system prompt appeared before him.

[Cave Dweller Hunting Trap]

[Armor: 10]

[Durability: 300]

[Effect: Lures nearby wandering monsters, causing them to fall into the Cave Dweller's burrow.]

…

Seeing the effect, Cao Xing became excited.

It seemed there was a Cave Dweller burrow below!

And this meant Nif's sister was very likely to have fallen here too.

Liu Muxue beside him also grew excited.

“Sarah, dismantle this trap.”

Sarah immediately started executing the task.

Swish! Swish swish!

In just a few swift moves, the [Hunting Trap] was dismantled.

[Dismantled Cave Dweller Hunting Trap, gained Experience Value: 20 points.]

After the trap was dismantled, Cao Xing saw a deep hole below.

He dropped a stone down, and soon there was a sound.

This indicated that the hole wasn't deep, approximately three or four meters.

However, the diameter of the hole was small, only enough for an adult to pass through.

This meant that the strong Andrew, the mammoth Da Bai, and several robots could only stay outside.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment.

Fortunately, his strongest combat power, Sarah, could go down with him.

Thus, Cao Xing directly ordered, “Assam, Sarah, Renice, come down with me.”

“Everyone else, stay above!”

Assam flipped off the back of the Frost Wolf.

“As you command, my esteemed Lord.”

He took the lead and jumped into the hole.

The second to go down was Sarah, followed by Renice.

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue also jumped down last.

Both were level 6 and level 7, respectively, with greatly enhanced attributes.

This height was no problem for them.

Thud.

After the two landed steadily, they found themselves in a dim environment.

[You have discovered a Hidden Area: Cave Dweller's Cliff Cave.]

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

“Wow, this is actually a Hidden Area.”

Based on Cao Xing's previous experiences.

Hidden Areas often housed some special items.

These special items had some unexpected effects.

Liu Muxue also wore a pleased expression. “Great, Axing, Little Nifu's sister is likely in here too.”

Cao Xing nodded.

The environment inside the Cave Dweller's cave was very dim, with monkey-like calls echoing within.

“Whoa! Whoa~”

“Ooh~”

Cao Xing didn't delay, having the recruited creatures quickly lead the way ahead.

They advanced roughly seven to eight hundred meters down the passageway.

From this, it was apparent that the cave was genuinely deep.

Fortunately, this passageway didn't have any branches.

Moreover, they hadn't encountered any Cave Dwellers.

Cao Xing wondered aloud, “Strange, where did this group of Cave Dwellers go?”

At that moment, Cao Xing suddenly noticed a small wooden door on the adjacent wall.

The wooden door was unlocked and easily pushed open.

“Squeak!”

As the wooden door opened, a system prompt appeared.

[Discovered Cave Dweller's Bedroom.]

“Damn it, we've ended up in the Cave Dweller's sleeping quarters?”

Cao Xing rummaged through it, finding some materials in the corner of the cave, and tucked them all away.

[Obtained Dry Food*5]

[Obtained Sticky Liquid*3]

[Obtained Wool Scraps*7]

[Obtained Cave Dweller Totem*1]

Cao Xing nodded, “Though these are just odds and ends, the sticky liquid is pretty good and can fetch a good price.”

In addition to that, there was a wooden totem carved with a beast's skull.

[Cave Dweller Totem: Accessory]

[Item Attribute: Wearing it increases Power by 2 points.]

(This totem is carved with the Mountain God's mark, granting a slight Mountain God Blessing.)

“Increasing 2 points of Power, not bad.”

Cao Xing already possessed one accessory, the Carrot Family's Family Crest.

And a Survivor could equip up to 4 accessories simultaneously.

Cao Xing equipped it straight away.

Then, Cao Xing exited the [Cave Dweller's Bedroom] and continued deeper into the passage.

There seemed to be many small wooden doors here, all leading to the Cave Dwellers' sleeping quarters, possibly offering some finds.

But now, Cao Xing needed to hurry to find Juliette and couldn't linger here for long.

Thus, he suppressed his urge to scavenge and continued forward in the cave.

After advancing another two to three hundred meters.

Cao Xing vaguely saw.

Up ahead in the passage, three creatures were hunched, tall and slender with long arms.

Their bodies were covered in gray fur, looking like mutated gorillas.

[Cave Dweller Warrior lv13]

[Race: Cave Dweller]

[Life Value: 2140/2140]

[Attack Power: 243~257]

[Skills: Giant Power (increases Power by 20%)

Shattering Stone Throwing (throws stones, causing 60% of attack damage to the enemy)]

[Talent: None]

These three Cave Dweller Warriors also noticed Cao Xing and the others.

They immediately opened their large mouths.

“Whoa! Whoa whoa!”

“It's humans, we can't let them disturb the Mountain God's ritual, capture them!”

The Cave Dwellers immediately raised their weapons and hopped toward them.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing's mouth twitched.

These Cave Dwellers couldn't run normally; they could only rely on jumping to move, an abstract way of moving.

Cao Xing ordered, “Finish it quickly.”

Next moment, Sarah, Renice, and Assam launched their attacks.

Renice stood straight like a sturdy pine, highlighting her naturally ample chest as more rounded and full.

The bowstring in her hand was fully drawn, and then the arrow was released directly.

Whoosh!

The sound of arrows piercing the air came, and an arrow instantly shot forth.

It hit directly into a bouncing Cave Dweller's chest.

“Thud!”

[-574!]

This arrow triggered a Weakness Strike.

“Howl!”

The Cave Dweller gave a cry of pain.

At that moment.

A Shadow Blade silently extended out.

“Swish! Swish!”

Sarah immediately entered Chain Slash Mode.

[-874]

[-853]

Two horrifying damage numbers floated up.

This Cave Dweller Warrior's Life Value was instantly reduced to zero, and it collapsed.

[Your Territory Member: Sarah Blade Dance slew a Cave Dweller lv13, gained Experience Value 140]

[Combat Personnel gained Experience Value: 70 points.]

The other two Cave Dwellers, seeing their companion's death, showed surprise in their eyes.

“Panama is dead, avenge it!”

But before they could charge over, Assam already rushed forward.

The Frost Wolf Swordsmanship continuously wielded cold light.

He alone held off these two Cave Dwellers.

The Cave Dwellers swung their spears, poking fiercely at Assam.

Ding! Ding!

[-46]

[-44]

After two crisp sounds.

Two negligible damage numbers appeared above Assam's head.

At that moment, a chill suddenly emanated from Assam's body.

Swish!

A damage number of [-7] appeared above the two Cave Dwellers' heads.

However, damage wasn't the main point; the main point was that the Cave Dwellers were covered in frost, greatly reducing their agility, making it easier for Assam to handle them.

This was the effect of the [Frost Magic Shield], very powerful.

Renice continued to pull her bowstring at the rear, causing remarkable damage.

Meanwhile, there was Sarah in the shadows, wielding the devastatingly powerful Shadow Blade.

In less than ten seconds.

The remaining two Cave Dwellers were also swiftly slain by them.

With numerous statuses empowering them, they all had the war power to fight against creatures of the same level Boss Level.

So, such a battle posed no pressure on them.

“Well done, you are the finest warriors!”

Cao Xing casually praised.

Looking at the corpses of these three Cave Dwellers on the ground, the next step was to harvest the spoils of war.

In his eyes, there was a hint of anticipation…
