Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem-Chapter 392 - 193: Mission Accomplished, the Upcoming Merging_3

Chapter 392: Chapter 193: Mission Accomplished, the Upcoming Merging_3

Hog Village’s villagers wore joyful smiles on their faces.

Like Old Mel, the primary need for ordinary people in this world was to ensure their life safety.

Clearly, Cao Xing’s territory could meet that demand.

[Due to your territory’s prosperity reaching the required level, new members feel secure, territory member: Ruben, loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 75]

[Due to your territory’s prosperity reaching the required level, new members feel secure, territory member: Elena, loyalty has increased, current loyalty: 93]

[Due to you...]

A hint of a smile appeared on Cao Xing’s lips.

The gates of the territory opened wide.

Seeing Cao Xing and his companions return safely, the subjects also greeted them with smiles.

One by one, they greeted smilingly: "Welcome back, Lord."

"Good morning, Lord!"

"Lord’s wife, you look even more beautiful today..."

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue nodded in response.

Amidst the greetings, they arrived at the center of the territory.

Cao Xing first instructed the combat personnel to rest.

He then called over the subject Cao Yi.

Cao Yi respectfully said, "Lord, please give your orders."

Cao Xing nodded, "These newcomers have just arrived in our territory; you first help them get familiar with the environment, and then assign their tasks for today."

Hearing this, the subject Cao Yi glanced at the villagers of Hog Village.

They all looked down somewhat bashfully.

"Okay, Lord, I will take them over right away."

Then, Cao Yi led the seven new members away.

Cao Xing then turned to the charming woman beside him.

"Elena, come with me."

She nodded slightly, "Okay... My Lord..."

Then she quietly followed Cao Xing.

The two of them went directly to the sewing shop and pushed open the door.

As usual, Xia Yanni was still busy.

She was sewing a batch of beast-hide light armor and seemed to have been working for quite a while.

At this moment, Xia Yanni immediately noticed Elena beside Cao Xing.

Her beautiful eyes had hints of curiosity and confusion.

Cao Xing said, "Yanni, Elena is our new member."

"I know you have to shoulder the sewing work for the entire territory alone; it must be quite stressful."

"From now on, Elena will work with you; please guide her."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yanni showed a gentle smile, "Okay, Lord, thank you."

She stood up and, with graceful steps, came to Elena’s side.

"Lady Elena, please take care of me from now on."

Elena quickly replied, "Oh... no... it is I who should ask for your guidance..."

"I...I will cooperate well with you... Please feel free to instruct me on anything..."

Both appeared to be quite courteous.

They introduced themselves to each other, learning the other’s age and name.

Elena was older than Xia Yanni by one year.

The two mature women standing together presented a unique charm.

However, Xia Yanni’s height, nearly 1.8 meters, was a whole head taller than Elena.

Elena exclaimed while looking at Xia Yanni, "Wow, sister, you’re so tall..."

Xia Yanni bashfully said, "Yes, sometimes I feel too tall, and it makes me a bit self-conscious..."

Elena quickly shook her head, "Not at all, your physique is something I have dreamed of, it’s truly perfect."

"It’s a physique that would drive those nobles and knights crazy!"

"Oh... it isn’t..."

Perhaps because they had similar experiences, the two women got along very well.

Before long, they were engaged in pleasant conversation.

Seeing this, Cao Xing smiled and left the sewing shop.

...

After that, Cao Xing found Juliette.

With Nif, the three came to the back garden area of the Lord Mansion.

He took out one [Snow Demon Leader’s Heart (Gold)] and two [Snow Demon Boss’s Hearts (Purple)].

Then he said, "Juliette, use these for the Pale Tree."

Juliette nodded slightly, "Alright, esteemed Lord."

"I didn’t expect you to find new hearts so soon; at this rate, the Pale Tree will grow into a large tree in no time."

Regarding the appearance of the Snow Demon Heart, Juliette didn’t mind at all.

As a plant scholar filled with knowledge, in her eyes, the Snow Demon Heart was just like a Human-faced Tree Heart, a tool to accelerate the growth of the Pale Tree.

Cao Xing smiled, "I am also looking forward to the day when the Pale Tree fully grows."

Then he watched as Juliette poured the life force contained in the first leader’s heart.

At this moment, the pale tree canopy began to sway gently.

The rustling sound of leaves came.

Rustle, rustle...

Then the Pale Tree began to grow rapidly.

Its height soared from five meters to six, seven meters...

It only stopped when it reached roughly ten meters.

A system prompt appeared.

[Your territory’s plant, Pale Tree, has obtained accelerated growth, this growth acceleration period is 7 years]

[Life Blessing effect increased by 7%, Growth Blessing effect increased by 7%]

...

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing’s face showed a look of pleasure.

"Unexpectedly, it grew 7 years in an instant!"

"Great, now the treatment amount of Ice Healing Skill and Life Blossom can be greatly enhanced!"

Moments later, Juliette poured the life force contained in the other two boss-level hearts into the Pale Tree.

Boom, boom, boom...

The Pale Tree continued to grow.

Its trunk rose taller, and branches expanded outward, while its dense canopy appeared like a large white umbrella.

[Your territory’s plant, the Pale Tree, has obtained accelerated growth, this growth acceleration period is 4 years]

[Life Blessing effect increased by 4%, Growth Blessing effect increased by 4%]

...

"Not bad, not bad, two boss-level hearts added another 4 years!"

"In this way, it totals a 32% life increase, incredibly powerful!"

Meanwhile, the Pale Tree also experienced more significant changes.

Its height surpassed 14 meters, with a trunk diameter of over 1 meter, and the tree crown sprouted many branches and a plethora of white tender leaves.

A gentle breeze passed, bringing a rustling sound.

The tree crown swayed softly, occasionally dropping a few pure white leaves.

It looked full of sacredness.

At this moment, Cao Xing realized how powerful this legendary Holy Tree was.

Even an Epic Quality Pale Tree could enhance life by up to 100%.

According to Juliette, the complete Pale Tree’s quality even surpassed a legend.

If someday he truly could resurrect that legendary Pale Holy Tree within his territory,

The enhancement it would bring was beyond imagination solely with such a tree!

Juliette and Nif also wore smiles of comfort.

"That’s great, sister, it feels like this Pale Tree is almost as tall as the one in front of our little tree house," Nif said excitedly.

Juliette nodded slightly, "Yes, it’s truly unimaginable that just a few days ago it was only a sapling..."

"In some future day, perhaps we will indeed witness the reappearance of the Pale Tree."

At this point, Juliette seemed to remember something and said softly, "Oh yes, Lord, there’s something I need to report to you."

Cao Xing asked with curiosity, "What is it?"

"It’s about the few War Ancient Tree seeds you gave me a few days ago."

"After several days of watering with Cold Spirit Water and the accelerated growth effect of the Pale Tree, they have successfully broken through the soil, do you want to go check them out?"

Juliette gazed at Cao Xing with eyes like gemstones.

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing felt a joy in his heart.

"They’ve sprouted so quickly?"

"Very well, let us go over and have a look."
