Chapter 468: Chapter 216: Disintegrating Cannibal Flower, Nightmare Court Archer (5400)_2
Cao Xing sighed, "What a pity, this Boss Level Cannibal Flower nectar can’t be consumed."
"Otherwise, it would directly restore 4000 points of Life Value, an incredibly strong effect."
However, he had already gained enough.
Not only that, besides the materials from these corpses,
there were also some items dropped on the ground when the Cannibal Flowers died.
These were also a tremendous gain.
Cao Xing collected them all.

"Oh? Recruitment Scrolls again? This time with a new troop type!"
"What is a Nightmare Court Archer?"
It seemed that Isabell heard the keyword ’Nightmare Court’ mentioned by Cao Xing.
Isabell gracefully walked over, "Lord, I heard you mention the Nightmare Court?"
Cao Xing nodded, "Yes, do you know about it?"
Isabell slightly nodded her head, then said,
"Yes, ten thousand years ago, the Nightmare Court was also a vast organization, even rivaling the Dark Church."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was immediately astonished.
"You mean, it’s a cult too?"
Isabell pondered for a moment, then shook her head, "Strictly speaking, they are not a cult."
"They spread the doctrine of dreams, believing the dream world to be the real world."
"They worshiped the Nightmare God Dem."
"At its peak, the number of church members and strong individuals even exceeded the Dark Church for a time."
Hearing this, Cao Xing also nodded silently.
The [Dark Church], an organization he had heard Isabell mention.
It could stand against the [Church Court], an ancient existence of such power.
And the [Nightmare Court] had this kind of scale, which indeed surprised Cao Xing.
"What happened then? Does the Nightmare Court still exist?"
Cao Xing couldn’t help asking.
Isabell shook her head, "No longer exists?" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"At its peak, the Nightmare Court was indeed very powerful."
"But one day, the Six True Gods suddenly sent a revelation, depriving Dem of the Nightmare God’s identity for unjust actions."
"And on that day, the Nightmare Court lost their faith and never recovered."
"After that, the organization was purged by the Dark Church, with countless Nightmare Court members sacrificed as offerings, then vanished from the world."
After hearing Isabell’s account, Cao Xing was thoughtful.
By saying this, the members of the Nightmare Court were quite complex.
They weren’t exactly good people, nor were they bad, aligning more with chaotic neutrality.
After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing decided to summon these archers first for a trial.
[Use Recruitment Scroll?]
"Yes."
At the moment Cao Xing clicked confirm,
before him, four masses of black and purple smoke appeared out of nowhere on the ground.
In the smoke, Cao Xing saw vines growing rapidly, seeing scenes of a mesmerizing landscape.
As if it really was a dream world.
When the smoke faded,
four female archers with pale pink skin, wrapped entirely in vines and holding large vine bows appeared.
The black and purple vines seemed to be their clothes, covering key parts of their bodies.
They lifted their heads, messy pinkish-purple hair cascading over their shoulders.
Their features had an exotic style.
Clearly, these archers weren’t from the Human Clan.
At this moment, the four archers gazed at Cao Xing with their ink-black pupils, silent, giving off an air of mystery.
Cao Xing walked up to them directly, then said, "Hello, I am Lord Cao Xing."
They still did not say a word.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Cao Xing also stood there, somewhat awkward.
At this moment, Eliza jumped out and said, "Hey! What are you doing?"
"Can’t you hear the Lord speaking to you? How rude!"
The little girl stood akimbo, looking very displeased!
Even Renice was glaring at the four with unfriendly eyes.
However, the four archers remained silent.
Seeing this, Cao Xing was amused.
Oh, ho!
What do these newcomers mean? Are they unwilling to pledge allegiance to me?
And Cao Xing wasn’t about to indulge them, he said directly,
"If you don’t want to pledge allegiance to me, I’ll give you a choice."
"Provide me with a piece of valuable information as a condition for your freedom, and then I’ll let you leave."
There was no other way. After using the Recruitment Scroll, there was no return option.
Otherwise, Cao Xing would seal them back in the scroll to sell to other Survivors as a good gain.
But wanting Cao Xing to let these archers go directly was impossible.
After all, he wasn’t some great benefactor.
So, he made the subsequent request.
The four Nightmare Court archers looked slightly moved, exchanging glances.
One of them focused on both Isabell and Hilda.
After a moment, an archer, standing about 1.6 meters tall and barefoot, slowly spoke up.
"Esteemed Lord, we are not unwilling to pledge our allegiance."
"It’s just that our faith once betrayed us, even costing us our lives."
"This has made us unable to easily offer our loyalty to any other being..."
