Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem-Chapter 390 - 193: Mission Accomplished, Upcoming Merging
Chapter 390: Chapter 193: Mission Accomplished, Upcoming Merging
They saw that Cao Xing was holding a scarlet tongue in his hand.
Militia Arnold’s pupils constricted suddenly, then he exclaimed,
"Oh my God! That’s the Snow Demon’s tongue!"
"Lord Cao Xing actually killed such an evil creature!"
The other militia members also wore expressions of shock and disbelief.
After all, their initial thought was merely to invite Cao Xing to use his formidable methods to drive away the Snow Demon.
According to the Snow Demon’s habits, if it suffered a setback in one place, it wouldn’t return a second time for a while.
Although this method couldn’t provide a permanent solution, it could bring a period of peace.
But no one expected that Cao Xing would actually kill the Snow Demon directly!
Arnold tentatively asked, "Lord Cao Xing... did you really kill those Snow Demons?"
"Yes."
After receiving confirmation, a look of ecstasy appeared on Arnold’s face.
"Lord Cao Xing, you have truly surprised me!"
"I’ve never heard of anyone who could kill a Snow Demon in my whole life!"
The other militia members echoed.
"Indeed, Lord Cao Xing’s power is truly unbelievable!"
"With the Snow Demon slain, we won’t be troubled by these monsters for a long time!"
An excited Arnold declared, "Excellent! I must go and tell all the villagers in Hog Village this news!"
With that, he ran toward the village.
"Everyone in Hog Village, Lord Cao Xing has killed those Snow Demons. We no longer need to worry about the Snow Demon’s threat!"
Hearing his voice, all the villagers were invigorated in the deep night as if injected with a stimulant.
Even Elena, hiding in the basement, heard Arnold’s voice and had a look of joy on her face.
She knew that Cao Xing had succeeded.
When Mordo Village Chief heard the news, he quickly left his room and swiftly approached Cao Xing.
He solemnly said, "Lord Cao Xing, I have already heard. You actually killed those formidable Snow Demons!"
"In this case, there will be no need to worry about the Snow Demon’s intrusion for the next few years!"
"On behalf of all the villagers of Hog Village, I express sincere gratitude to you!"
With that, Mordo bowed solemnly.
Cao Xing smiled and said, "Mordo Village Chief, you’re too kind, this is what I should do."
Village Chief Mordo quickly had the nearby militia bring over a cloth bag filled with more than eighty thousand crowns.
"Lord Cao Xing, this is the promised reward."
Cao Xing didn’t stand on ceremony and directly took the bag of crowns.
The next moment, a system prompt appeared.
[Task completed successfully: Expel the Snow Demon]
[Task reward received: Coins*87422, Hog Village Goodwill has increased.]
[Current relationship: Intimate]
[Intimate: You can recruit a batch of newcomers from Hog Village for free every week.]
...
Seeing the system prompt, an unexpected look appeared on Cao Xing’s face.
"Huh? After the relationship with Hog Village improved to intimate, there’s such a function?"
"This is great!"
"In this way, besides the tavern’s recruitment feature, I essentially have a constant source of population."
Thinking of this, Cao Xing smiled happily.
At this time, Mordo Village Chief continued, "Lord Cao Xing, it’s already late. Your subordinates must be tired from tonight’s battle."
"Why not rest at Hog Village tonight, and set out tomorrow morning?"
"That can be arranged," Cao Xing replied.
A smile appeared on Mordo’s wrinkled face, "Very well, Lord Cao Xing, if you have any requests or other concerns, you can find me anytime. I’ll ensure everything is completed with all my effort!"
Hearing these words, Cao Xing suddenly said, "Mordo Village Chief, I do have a matter needing your assistance."
Mordo respectfully replied, "Please, go ahead, Lord Cao Xing."
Cao Xing got straight to the point, "It’s about Elena. My territory is currently short of people, so I wish to take her back to my territory, hoping the village chief permits this."
Hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared on Mordo Village Chief’s face, then he said, "To be honest, Lord Cao Xing, you can take Elena..."
"However, her grain store is actually run by the village..."
"Most of her grain comes from the villagers’ annual tax, collected and sold in the store, and the earned crowns are used by me to build the village."
"When her husband died in the deep mountains years ago, we saw she was alone and allowed her to work in the grain store."
"Therefore..."
Cao Xing, upon hearing, nodded in realization and said, "I understand, Mordo Village Chief."
"We won’t take the grain from the store, I only need to take Elena."
Although Elena’s grain store was a considerable fortune, Cao Xing didn’t intend to take her away for the grain.
Hearing this, Mordo nodded quickly and said, "That’s wonderful, Lord Cao Xing. You can take Elena with you tomorrow morning."
Cao Xing shook his head and said, "No problem, but you’ll have to find a new grain store owner."
Mordo waved his hands repeatedly, indicating it wasn’t a bother.
Then, Cao Xing had Assam and the others go rest.
He himself went with Liu Muxue to the room the village chief had arranged for him to rest.
However, instead of sleeping on the bed, they leaned against the fireplace, snuggling together as they fell asleep.
The next day...
A system prompt appeared.
[Survivors, please note that you have passed the official period of the sixth day. After tomorrow, the first merging will arrive, please make preparations.]
[The Giant Dragon Resurgence campaign will undergo its second update. The Giant Dragon Store will add more items, and a new leaderboard challenge will soon open, please look forward to it...]
