Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem-Chapter 545 - 239: Magic Beans and the Girl Doll (5000)_2

The Frost Wolf leaped and landed on the giant vine, carrying him.

Its strong and powerful wolf claws gripped the vine’s surface, and it slowly walked upward.

Seeing this scene, the others followed suit one after another.

Rab and Blot walked behind Assam.

After them were Da Bai and Wally Bell.

At this moment, Da Bai, this gigantic creature, also cautiously lifted its elephant hoof and stepped onto the vine.

Its size was so immense that even though the vine had a diameter of fifty to sixty centimeters,

It could barely accommodate one of Da Bai’s feet.

So Da Bai’s movements now resembled that of an elephant crossing a single-log bridge.

Its cautious movements appeared clumsy yet endearing.

This made Liu Muxue and Eliza behind them stifle a giggle.

Seemingly hearing the laughter behind him, Da Bai looked a bit embarrassed.

It wavered its tail a few times, then steadied itself.

As a Fourth Rank Leader level creature, it had a strong ability to maintain its balance.

"Moo—"

With Da Bai finding its balance, it then steadily walked up along the vine.

Seeing this, Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he too stepped onto the giant vine.

Soon, everyone had reached the second-floor area.

And the giant vine, reaching just the second-floor area, stopped growing.

Seeing this, Cao Xing seemed to understand something.

"It seems this giant vine can only take us to the second level."

"We need to defeat the monsters here to proceed to the third level."

"According to the story the old witch told me, the monster on the second level should be the ogre."

Thinking about this, Cao Xing looked ahead to start observing the environment on the second floor.

The atmosphere on the second floor of the tower was very dark, with no lights, only a faint view of a wall in the front.

It seemed to be a passage, with strange little rooms on both sides.

"Let’s go through and take a look."

Hearing this, Assam lifted his weapon and paved the way straight ahead.

"Tap... tap tap..."

The sound of footsteps continuously resounded.

As they moved forward, they explored those little rooms.

However, there didn’t seem to be anything worthwhile inside, just some clutter.

Already decayed tables, chairs, benches, and some moldy wood, among others...

Cao Xing searched around, but found nothing of interest and walked out uninterested.

After leading the group onward for about a hundred or two hundred meters, Cao Xing pushed open a different room.

The moment the door opened, a pungent stench of blood and rot assaulted their senses!

Inside, it looked like a slaughterhouse.

In the middle was a wooden bed, with darkened bloodstains on it.

It looked as though quite a few unlucky souls had lain there.

Above everyone’s heads hung various animal body parts and human organs...

"Damn, did we walk into a crime scene?"

Cao Xing was somewhat amazed.

Everyone else also felt a little uncomfortable with the scene before them...

Eliza covered Tong Chuchu’s eyes, preventing her from seeing.

The scene before them was extremely gory, with the human organs and animal body parts hanging overhead still dripping with blood, appearing as though they were freshly cut.

Cao Xing did not think much of it, and began searching around this slaughterhouse.

In a corner, Cao Xing found a portrait.

It was a family portrait.

A man with a longbow slung over his back, along with his wife and daughter.

The background seemed to be a pitch-black forest.

Cao Xing picked up the portrait, and on its back he found an iron box.

[Ogre’s Iron Box: Would you like to open it?]

"Oh? This thing can be opened as well?"

"What’s inside?"

Driven by curiosity,

Cao Xing clicked ’open.’

[Open successful.]

[Obtained: Golden Ancient Coin *11]

[Obtained: Silver Ring *2]

[Obtained: Girl’s Doll *1]

[Obtained: Letter to Wife and Daughter *1]

...

"Who would’ve thought I’d get 11 Golden Ancient Coins at once, haha!"

Cao Xing was overjoyed; with this, the number of [Golden Ancient Coins] in his backpack officially exceeded 30, bringing him closer to exchanging for an advanced ancient treasure box!

He also looked at the other two items.

[Girl’s Doll: Task Item]

[Item Effect: This is an ordinary doll. Return it to its owner, and you will receive a different kind of reward.]

(Small Tip: Perhaps you can seek clues in ’Anno River Village.’)

...

Cao Xing looked at the doll in his hand, resembling a little rabbit, now faded and yellowed with time.

"A task item, huh? The system prompt pointed to the task location."

"When there’s time, I can go to Anno River Village to have a look."

Cao Xing stowed it in his backpack and took out the last item: [Letter to Wife and Daughter].

[Letter: Click to read]

...

After reading the letter’s contents, Cao Xing seemed to understand something.

Unfortunately, part of the letter’s records were already incomplete.

Besides these, the letter contained lengthy passages of longing for his wife and daughter, and reminders for them to live well.

After reading this, Cao Xing said, "Let’s go, there’s nothing else useful here."

The group exited the slaughterhouse filled with sin.

They continued along the dim passage.

Ahead seemed to finally show a glimmer of light.

At the end of the passage, a wooden door appeared.

’Creaaaak!’

As the wooden door was pushed open,

They saw a dimly lit room.

This room appeared to be a dining room, with a few blackened tables and chairs inside, yet the space was quite spacious.
