Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Cao Xing, after hearing this, once again fell into deep thought.

Third-tier creatures also varied in strength, like third-tier elites and third-tier leaders, the disparity between them was enormous.

That Goblin King was a third-tier leader level creature, and even in a weakened state, they struggled to fight it.

If it were a third-tier leader in full strength, with Cao Xing's current power, he could barely hold his own.

What worried him even more was, what if it wasn't a leader, but an even higher-level creature? Then it would all be over.

Ji Xinyue did not rush him but waited silently.

A moment later, Cao Xing replied, "I understand, send me the camp coordinates first, I'll check the distance."

"If it's too far, I can't do anything about it."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xinyue unhesitatingly sent over the coordinates.

Looking at the map, the distance from his current position was nearly two hundred kilometers!

Cao Xing said helplessly, "You're too far from me, at my current speed, I couldn't make it in time."

Hearing this, Ji Xinyue on the other side panicked.

She said with a trembling voice, "Then... what should I do?"

"Tomorrow the newbie protection period will be lifted, I'm so worried that group of undead will rush into my territory!"

Cao Xing did not reply, because he couldn't help.

Moreover, he had no reason to worry about the life and death of a stranger.

After a moment of silence on the other side, a message came back, "I understand... Thank you, Cao Xing, for responding to my message."

"I'll wait until tomorrow to see the situation. That group of undead still needs my help, they probably won't attack me."

"If it's alright tomorrow, I'll contact Cao Xing again, and then... then see if you can find time to help me with this task..."

"Is that okay?"

Ji Xinyue's attitude was good, and she wasn't enraged by Cao Xing's refusal to help.

You know, when people are desperate, they cling to any last lifeline.

However, when that lifeline lets go, it could lead to a breakdown.

Cao Xing thought for a moment and replied, "Alright, I'll see the situation tomorrow. If I have time, I'll visit your territory."

Receiving Cao Xing's response, Ji Xinyue replied gratefully, "Thank you... Thank you, Cao Xing..."

The private chat was hung up by the two of them.

At this moment, Cao Xing also fell into thought.

To be honest, he was quite interested in that sunken palace task, after all, it concerned the palace's treasure.

You know, Cao Xing had obtained an epic-level item in the Goblin Treasury, and also collected many precious gemstones.

The lost treasure of this kingdom should be no less valuable.

He would see the situation tomorrow, if Ji Xinyue wasn't torn apart by that group of undead, he would make the trip, and complete the task along the way.

The team was still walking in the vast icefield.

Twenty minutes later, Cao Xing and his group arrived at a plain area.

Ahead, a frozen lake could faintly be seen.

It was a truly large lake, with a water width reaching over a hundred kilometers, occupying a significant area on the map.

And by the lake, there were patches of snow-covered forest, unidentifiable in species.

On the frozen lake surface, several groups of figures could faintly be seen, seemingly those wandering wild creatures.

Cao Xing saw land birds with white feathers, a group of wild sheep with abundant fur, and beside these sheep, several snow plain wolves were lying in wait.

Cao Xing nodded subtly, "There's a lot of resources here, so many wild monsters."

At this time, the sharp-eyed Liu Muxue softly said, "Axing, there seems to be someone there."

Following her direction, Cao Xing also saw a figure dressed in a gray cotton coat on the ice.

It appeared to be an old man, wearing a fisherman's hat, with a weathered back.

And beneath him, there sat a small stool, seemingly engaged in ice fishing.

"My goodness, there really are fishing enthusiasts everywhere!"

Cao Xing chuckled and then scanned the entire ice surface.

Apart from this fishing enthusiast, there were no other people in sight.

At that moment, he came up with an idea.

"Let's go, let's ask this fishing enthusiast for some information."

Having said that, he led them toward the distant figure.

Thud! Thud thud!

Da Bai took giant steps, quickly stepping onto the lake surface.

However, with its several tons of weight, it didn't even leave a crack on the ice.

This was enough to indicate that the ice surface here was indeed very thick.

At this moment, that weathered figure, sensing Cao Xing and his companions approaching, remained unmoved.

He continued fishing with his rod, tossing it into the unfathomable ice hole below his feet.

Cao Xing glanced at his information.

[Champion Fighter: Chinon Dutra]

[Belonging Force: Ice Crystal Kingdom]

[Level: ???]

[Attribute: ???]

[Skill: ???]

[Talent: ???]

[Relationship: Indifferent]

…

Cao Xing's pupils immediately shrank!

My goodness, aside from the name, everything else was a question mark.

This indicated that the level gap between them was at least over 20 levels.

This was the strongest native he had encountered!

"Above third-tier?"

Cao Xing became cautiously alert.

Fortunately, Cao Xing did not sense any hostility from this old man.

Hence, he let Liu Muxue stay seated on Da Bai's back, while he jumped down, approaching this elder.

Cao Xing got straight to the point.

"This old sir, hello, may I ask if you've seen a lady passing by here these two days?"

"She left the village several days ago, her father is worried, and he asked us to look for this lady."
