Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 276 - 156: The Treasure-laden Human-faced Tree!

“Pfft!”

The branch pierced through the boy’s shoulder.

[-674]

A damage number appeared.

The boy took a sharp intake of cold air, terror flashing in his eyes!

His life value instantly dropped to just a few dozen points.

If he hadn’t avoided the vital spot at the last moment, he would have died instantly on the spot!

Just then, a second whooshing sound came.

The boy cried out in terror, “Help… help me…”

In the nick of time, Renice shot an arrow.

“Whoosh!”

The arrow precisely hit the branch, interrupting the attack.

Strangely, everyone heard a hoarse human cry of pain.

“Ah!”

Before they could react.

The next moment, all the trees in this area began to move.

Rustle, rustle…

Branches danced.

The ground, frozen into permafrost, continuously rose, as if something was moving below.

Then, the trees slowly turned around.

They were horrified to find that the trunks of these trees had pale human faces on them.

Those human faces slowly spoke.

“This is our territory… Invaders… die!”

The next moment.

Countless branches shot towards them!

And the group of survivors at the back had no strength to resist.

According to the agreement with Qiu Yating, Cao Xing had to lead them into the forest interior.

So, Cao Xing shouted.

“Blom, block them!”

With that, Blom leaped as a guardian to the back of the crowd.

Then he raised his shield to fend off the branches.

“Boom! Boom boom boom!”

Most of the branch attacks were blocked by Blom’s shield.

The rest of the branches were intercepted by Renice’s arrows.

The group of survivors avoided a calamity, still standing in a daze.

Blom turned around and smiled, “Don’t just stand there, little ones, get moving.”

Upon hearing this, they finally came to their senses,

then hurriedly hid behind Blom or assumed a defensive stance.

At that moment, Assam and the others were also fending off the branch attacks.

What surprised Cao Xing was the incredible toughness of these branches.

Even with Assam’s third-tier boss level attack power, a single strike couldn’t cut through them but only briefly repelled them.

Cao Xing glanced at the attributes of the group of human-faced trees.

[Ice Crystal Human-faced Tree lv27]

[Race: Human-faced Tree]

[Life Value: 17640/17640]

[Attack Power: 652~681]

(Description: A monster produced after an alchemy experiment, growing in the Witch Forest, attacking all creatures entering the forest.)

…

“Such powerful third-tier creatures!”

Cao Xing commented.

The number of Human-faced Trees appearing here simultaneously exceeded 20, activating their bonds and making them far stronger than ordinary third-tier creatures!

In the next moment, a dozen branches attacked the crowd.

Under the attack of these third-tier creatures, the first-tier survivor attributes couldn’t keep up with the reaction speed of the Human-faced Trees.

For other teams, even a third-tier team would likely be wiped out by so many Human-faced Trees.

However, the attacks of these Human-faced Trees landing on Cao Xing’s subordinates only broke through a layer or two of holy shield.

They didn’t even take any damage!

Seeing this, Cao Xing felt assured and ordered, “Do your best, take out these Human-faced Trees.”

Meanwhile, he and Liu Muxue jumped off the mammoth’s back.

Following Cao Xing’s order, Assam and the others used their respective tactics.

The Sword of Justice swept through!

Storm Arrow Rain began to rampage!

Da Bai started to rampage through the forest.

Then it charged fiercely at one of the Human-faced Trees!

“Boom!”

[-1973]

A terrifying collision damage appeared!

After advancing to the third tier and receiving the Aurora Blessing and Courage Blessing from Liu Muxue, Da Bai’s damage was terrifying.

It then stomped, stunning seven or eight Human-faced Trees around it.

The new member, Putana, raised the giant axe high and hacked at one of the Human-faced Trees.

Boom!

[-518]

As a newcomer and a second-order elite level creature, Putana’s damage was quite impressive.

Blom, having advanced to the boss level, managed to hold back the attacks of three or four Human-faced Trees by himself.

“Haha! Attack Blom, everyone!”

“Let me show you what flawless defense is!”

Compared to the day before in Ascalon Tomb, everyone on the field had significantly improved their strength.

Dealing with this level of monsters was no longer a problem.

The group of survivors stood behind, shivering as they watched the battle.

The floating damage numbers left them trembling in fear!

The most terrifying thing was witnessing Cao Xing’s attacks.

This man casually cast a spell attack, dealing four or five hundred damage.
