Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem-Chapter 311 - 167: Heavy Snowstorm, Excited Subjects! _2

Chapter 311 -167: Heavy Snowstorm, Excited Subjects! _2

However, the temperature kept dropping.

Cao Xing thought for a moment, then said, “Let’s go; we’re preparing to return to the camp.”

After speaking, he and Liu Muxue got back onto Da Bai’s back.

On Da Bai’s back, there was also a Hunter Killer tied up tightly.

Thud! Thud thud!

The mammoth’s pace wasn’t very fast.

Because the forest terrain was quite complex, with many obstacles.

If the natives of this world didn’t have a strong sense of direction, even third and fourth-tier experts would likely get lost in the forest.

Fortunately, Cao Xing had the small map that came with his system.

With Cao Xing’s guidance, they started moving forward and, after about half an hour, broke through the Witch Forest.

On the way, they also encountered some attacks from Human-faced Trees and beasts.

But Cao Xing didn’t want to waste time, so he didn’t engage them for long.

As soon as they stepped out of the Witch Forest.

Cao Xing saw a vast expanse of white ahead, with cold winds blowing directly.

“Whoosh—”

Moreover, large snowflakes continued to fall, almost filling the entire scene ahead.

Cao Xing couldn’t help but complain, “Damn… Is this what you call moderate snow?”

“This damn thing is a blizzard, right?”

Assam and the others were also a bit bewildered.

The weather was fine when they entered the forest, but coming out, they were met with such a heavy snowstorm.

Moreover, such heavy snow could very likely trigger some geological disasters.

Cao Xing said, “We need to pick up the pace; the snow’s getting heavier, which will slow down our move speed.”

“From now on, follow me at full speed!”

With that, Cao Xing urged Da Bai to start running wildly.

The others followed behind the mammoth, heads down, hurrying along.

Thud! Thud thud!

The mammoth’s thick feet stepped forward, each step creating a deep snowpit.

Cao Xing didn’t know how long this snow had been falling.

But it shouldn’t have been more than three hours.

The snow on the ground had already again covered Da Bai’s ankles, about forty to fifty centimeters thick.

“Whoosh—whoosh—”

The howling cold wind blew by, and the all-encompassing snowflakes blinded Cao Xing’s eyes.

Before long, everyone had a layer of snow on their heads or bodies.

Even Assam’s armor had spots of white frost.

In such a heavy snowstorm, visibility didn’t exceed twenty meters.

Even if there was a small map, it wouldn’t tell you what obstacles or traps lay ahead. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Several times, because Da Bai was rushing too fast, Cao Xing couldn’t command in time, nearly crashing head-on into a giant rock.

Helpless, Cao Xing had to get Da Bai to slow down.

The ‘moderate snow’ significantly reduced their mobility.

It wasn’t until night fell that the heavy snow was still falling.

It took nearly two and a half hours to reach the vicinity of the territory.

By this time, the sky was completely dark.

Cao Xing glanced at the camp coordinates.

They were still 30 kilometers away from their current position.

Cao Xing said, “Almost there, probably another twenty minutes.”

The temperature had already dropped to -60℃.

And there was another troublesome issue.

As night fell, visibility decreased further.

This meant their forward speed would be hindered even more.

The group braved the wind and snow, sprinting across the vast snowy plains.

However, the newly joined Isabell and Hilda seemed to be up to something.

The two women were racing to see who could move faster.

Cao Xing was utterly speechless. These two women, caught in competition, wanted to compare everything.

As they ran, they even overtook Cao Xing.

At this moment, Isabell conjured a ball of Holy Light, shaped like a shuttle, placing it at her feet.

Then, she stepped onto the Light Shuttle, gliding rapidly as if in the snow.

Passing by Cao Xing, Isabell softly said, “Lord, let me guide your path with Holy Light.”

Though puzzled, Cao Xing nodded.

Simultaneously, Isabell raised her magic wand, and the power of Holy Light gathered, shining like a bright bulb, illuminating the way forward.

Seeing this, Cao Xing chuckled, “Is Holy Light usable like this?”

Also a Mage, Isabell’s control of Holy Light had reached its peak.

At the very least, gathering the power of Holy Light and using it like a skateboard was beyond Cao Xing’s ability.

Even breaking through to the third tier wouldn’t allow him to do that.

Thinking about it, this might be related to Isabell’s skill: [Advanced Holy Light Mastery].

The Mage Apprentice Aili in Cao Xing’s territory had a skill called [Basic Water Coordination].

When their understanding and application of elements reach a new stage, it would become [Intermediate Water Coordination], allowing for more advanced magic.

Just like Assam’s [Basic Swordsmanship Mastery].

By constantly practicing, basic swordsmanship could be honed to an intermediate level, and then to advanced.

Each breakthrough would refine his sword technique further.

…

With Isabell leading the way, Cao Xing and his group’s speed increased significantly.

At this point, Cao Xing saw that Hilda was already starting to lag behind.

Due to the rank difference, Hilda was quickly left behind by Isabell.

At this moment, the goddess-like Isabell turned her head with a soft laugh.

However, this made Hilda feel humiliated!

Yet, there was nothing she could do.

She could only angrily say, “That damn woman! Once I regain my original power, I’ll tear your skirt apart and hang it on a pillar!”

Seeing her look so puffed up, Cao Xing said, “Don’t be angry; once you level up to 20, I’ll give you a Mid-Rank Heart of Power, and you can almost catch up to her.”
