Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

"Lord, what is this?"

Cao Xing explained, "This is a soul orb that can enhance your potential, allowing you to reach the elite level."

Although Juliette was a person without a profession, equivalent to an ordinary person,

even if she reached the elite level, it would only increase her potential and attributes, without granting new skills.

Obviously, such soul orbs would yield greater benefits to soldiers or wild boars.

However, Cao Xing did not care about these, as there were more than 40 elite soul orbs in his backpack.

Being wealthy, he did not mind sparing one or two soul orbs.

Furthermore, as Juliette was an important presence in his territory, enhancing her physical attributes was also necessary.

As for Little Nifu, her potential was already at the elite level, so there was no need to enhance her.

Juliette held the soul orb in her hand and looked at Cao Xing with gratitude.

She did not refuse. Instead, she softly said, "Thank you for your regard, my respected Lord."

"Juliette will use the knowledge in my mind to fully serve our territory..."

[Due to your generous gift, Territory Member: Juliette's loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 100]

(Loyalty is full. The other party will now unconditionally carry out any command you give.)

...

Upon hearing the system prompt, joy emerged in Cao Xing's heart.

He noticed a subtle change in the way Juliette looked at him.

If previously there was respect mixed with gratitude,

now it contained a different kind of emotion...

At this moment, Cao Xing took out two purple seeds from his backpack.

These seeds emitted a faint black aura, and there seemed to be some small tendrils wriggling on their surface.

They were the [Vine Head Cannon Seed (gold)] obtained through trading.

"Juliette, can these two seeds be planted in our territory?"

Upon hearing this question, a thoughtful expression appeared in Juliette's beautiful eyes.

She softly said, "Lord, these seem to be seeds of the Medemoteng."

"This is an evil plant, very aggressive, that will devour all other plants within the range of its roots, dissolving them into nutrients."

"This Medemoteng will only grow in some plague-ridden areas. I'm also not sure if it can be planted in our territory..."

Hearing this, realization dawned upon Cao Xing.

It was similar to the system's description, that this [Vine Head Cannon] was an evil plant that could not coexist with other plants.

Juliette continued beside him, "However, I can try to plant it and see if the power of the Pale Tree can suppress the evil traits of this plant and change its biological habits."

"If not, I will have to ask you, my Lord, to eradicate these two plants."

Hearing this, joy appeared on Cao Xing's face.

He had been ready to give up on these two golden seeds, but now there was hope once again.

After all, a level 25 boss, especially a defensive plant cannon, would greatly benefit the territory.

"Alright, you can plant them without worry. If these two plants act up and show tendencies to attack other plants, just eliminate them."

"Understood, my respected Lord."

After Juliette finished speaking, she accepted the seeds from Cao Xing's hand.

Simultaneously, the three of them heard heavy footsteps from afar.

"Boom! Boom Boom!"

It was the War Ancient Tree, which had transformed into its [War Form].

Three large trees moved slowly toward the [Pale Holy Tree].

They looked at the holy tree before them with a sense of appreciation in their eyes.

Guna Ta sighed, "The Pale Tree has grown again..."

"In our Southern Continent, we have never seen such a sacred tree."

The War Ancient Tree beside it agreed, "Even the Ancient Tree of Knowledge in our tribe can't compare to this holy tree."

"With this holy tree's power, our ancient trees' naturally strong recovery ability and life force will undergo a qualitative change."

"If we could find the Life Ancient Tree of our tribe, all the ancient trees' life force would probably reach an astonishing level..."

Hearing this, Cao Xing was thoughtful.

Last time, these War Ancient Trees said that in the area of the ancient battlefield, there was the aura of another ancient tree seed.

However, Cao Xing did not go there.

Because, before that, he had many more important things to do.

For instance, getting Assam through the Knight Trial to obtain the [Lake Lady's Sword].

Also, to go to the [Witch Castle] and complete the old witch's task to find clues about the legendary shield [Origin Shield—Anodite].

These two tasks were linked.

According to Cao Xing's speculation, the castle probably contained a level 40 leader-level creature.

As long as Assam could single-handedly defeat this level 40 leader inside, he could complete the Heroic Trial.

Additionally, he needed more [Advanced Power Hearts] and [Intermediate Power Hearts].

These items could only be found in advanced maps like the Witch Forest.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Let's see how things go tonight, then continue to the Witch Forest and explore that castle."

"If everything goes smoothly, I should be able to return from the Witch Forest tomorrow and explore the ancient battlefield."

With this in mind, Cao Xing directly took out three [Intermediate Power Hearts] from his backpack and handed them to the three War Ancient Trees.

"Guna Ta, I see your levels have reached level 20. Use these hearts of power to break through now."

The three War Ancient Trees exchanged looks. Their faces, full of wrinkles, showed some surprise and a bit of hesitation.
