Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem-Chapter 314 - 168: The Hope for the Recovery of the Pale Holy Tree

Upon hearing the good news from Old Mel, Cao Xing’s face also showed joy.

"Alright, Mr. Mel, I’ll go to the cowshed to take a look in a moment."

Mel wore a gentle smile on his face, then silently stepped back into the crowd.

Cao Xing looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the snow was still falling heavily from the sky, and everyone standing there had already accumulated a layer of snow on their heads.

Although the heat from the stove would soon melt these snowflakes,

their hair would get wet, which was quite uncomfortable in such weather.

Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "Alright, there’s nothing more here, everyone go and do what you need to do."

"Blot, Muxue, take our new members to their accommodations."

"Dahua, prepare our dinner for tonight."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to move.

At this moment, Cao Xing looked at the Hunter Killer tied up on Da Bai’s back.

Then he ordered, "Assam, take down the guy on Da Bai’s back and lock him in the basement."

"Rab, you and some others take turns guarding this guy, and start the interrogation."

Upon hearing these words, the four Wild Boar Warriors and Assam nodded at the same time.

"Understood, Lord!"

"We’ll pry open this guy’s mouth!"

Then, Assam directly carried the Hunter Killer from Da Bai’s back onto his shoulder.

After arranging these matters.

Cao Xing looked at the Tree Spirit clan sisters.

"Juliette, Nif, come with me for a moment."

The two women, whose skin was as white as snow, exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

They seemed unsure why Cao Xing had called them.

Nevertheless, they walked over to Cao Xing without hesitation.

Cao Xing got straight to the point, "Take me to see the place where the Pale Seed is planted."

"Alright, Lord."

Juliette nodded slightly, then took Nif by the hand, leading the way for Cao Xing.

Soon, they arrived at the area behind the Lord’s Hut.

Here, Cao Xing saw a section enclosed by a makeshift wooden fence.

On the ground, there was a mound of Ice Crystal Stones, constantly emitting cold air, with a few Moon Crystal Flowers quietly growing among them.

Nearby on the ground, there were small square wooden boxes covering the ground.

Inside each small wooden box, seeds of another plant, Spirit Breath Grass, were planted.

At this time, heavy snow was falling outside, yet it did not affect this area at all.

Juliette softly said, "Lord, I originally planned to make this area the territory’s back garden."

"Back garden?"

Cao Xing stroked his chin, imagining it.

It seemed quite nice.

Juliette nodded slightly again and said, "However, because the Pale Tree hasn’t fully grown yet, it can’t provide shelter for these magic plants."

"Once the Pale Tree grows, the seeds of these magic plants will grow nearby, even in severe storm weather, without worry."

Cao Xing was taken aback, "The Pale Tree has such an effect?"

Little Nifu chimed in eagerly.

"Yes, Lord!"

"The Pale Tree is magical! Within its rooting area, all kinds of magic plants can withstand adverse weather."

"Even magical plants with different growing environments can survive in the same soil."

"In the Holy Forest Land of the North Continent, various attributes of magic plants grow, and my sister and I see all kinds of blooming flowers whenever we go out, they’re so beautiful!"

Hearing this, Little Nifu seemed to recall something sad, and suddenly her expression became somewhat downcast.

Cao Xing understood her feelings.

"Nif, although the original Pale Tree was destroyed, its seeds have sprouted again in this land."

"It won’t be long before a new Pale Tree grows here."

"With you two skillful sisters, this territory will bloom with all kinds of flowers, becoming a new Holy Land."

Cao Xing’s voice was very calm, and with a high goodwill of 96, Nifu almost completely trusted his words.

The young girl’s eyes showed a look of longing, and her previous sadness was swept away.

Nif said excitedly, "Yes, yes! I believe in you, Lord!"

"I’ll also work hard with my sister to turn our territory into a new Holy Land as soon as possible!"

Juliette beside her also wore a gentle smile.

As they talked, the three of them arrived at the central area of this garden.

On the ground, there was a pale seedling.

Juliette said softly, "Lord, this is the seedling of the Pale Seed."

"Last time, after watering it with the Life Force of the Snow Demon Heart, it was able to grow quickly."

"I estimate that in another year or two, the Pale Seed will enter its growth phase, and then it can add a blessing effect to the territory."

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then took out the [Human-faced Tree Tree Heart (Green)] from his backpack.

According to Juliette, the Pale Tree Seedling was just a year or two away from entering its growth phase.

And a Green Grade Human-faced Tree Heart could accelerate growth by about a year.

Even if the effect would diminish, three of them should be enough for the Pale Tree to fully grow.

At this moment, Cao Xing held in his hand an item emitting a green hue, akin to a crystal stone.

This was the Heart of the Human-faced Tree.

It didn’t appear frightening in the least; in fact, it exuded pure life force.

Seeing the green crystal stone in Cao Xing’s hand, Juliette, usually calm, showed a slight astonishment in her eyes.
