I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1081 - Chapter 1081 Chapter 1083 Sand Monkey_1

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1083: Sand Monkey_1 Chapter 1081: Chapter 1083: Sand Monkey_1 “It possesses top-tier devouring talent…” Song Jian’s eyes gleamed as he stared at the continually growing spider mount and whispered.

“You’re in luck; it has both fire and earth attributes, making it perfect for terrains like Scorching Gorge!” the robot Nafiboja said. “What’s more important is that it grows very quickly, and it might even be able to carry both of us.”

Song Jian turned to glance at the robot Nafiboja and said, “What’s your weight? I don’t know if it can carry the two of us, but if not, you can ride on it, and I can use the Sword Flight Art!”

Whether it’s the steel wings or the Flame Light Wings, the flying speed is not fast and not well-suited for long-distance flights. They are much more effective in combat than for long travel. However, the Sword Flight Art is a skill specifically meant for the Sword Master class to travel quickly. Had it not been for the robot Nafiboja’s innate talent to attract enemies, half a month would have been enough for both to reach the edge of the Scorching Gorge.

“My weight is three tons and two hundred and sixty-seven kilograms…” the robot Nafiboja said. “However, my body comes with a built-in anti-gravity system, and once activated, it doesn’t weigh much more than a suitcase. You have nothing to worry about!”

Song Jian nodded. The technology in the trial tower was far more advanced than any nation in the game, even more powerful than many countries before the apocalypse. Song Jian suspected that the technological level of the trial tower dated back many years before the apocalypse, but as for the exact period it appeared, Nafiboja would not reveal a single word.

Soon, the spider mount devoured all three dominion-level boss monsters, absorbing all their essence, and its level had risen to fifty-eight. Its body was now not much smaller than a heavy-duty truck. Including its five to six-meter-long legs spread out, the entire diameter of the spider mount’s body had exceeded sixty meters, truly a colossal creature.

After having its fill, the spider mount slowly lay down in front of Song Jian, its pale red compound eyes fixating on him, its sharp fangs slightly protruding, and its eight legs supporting its body as it lowered itself, its massive head laying before Song Jian in a pleasing manner.

“GOOD BABY!” Song Jian patted the spider mount’s head and leaped onto its back. Two jets of air spewed from behind Nafiboja as she gently landed behind Song Jian.

The spider mount seemed to resist having the robot Nafiboja land on it, its body swaying slightly as it emitted a low protesting hum.

Song Jian promptly patted its body, conveying a calming emotion, which finally pacified the spider mount.

“Let’s go, let’s see your top speed!” Song Jian patted the body of the spider mount and laughed softly.

Ka ka ka~

A series of friction sounds from the joint shells rang out as the spider mount’s entire body began to lift off the ground, resembling a race car pressing down on the gas, ready to accelerate.

Whoosh~

Song Jian felt a blur before his eyes as he suddenly rose into the air. Thankfully, the seat on the spider mount’s back had a soft structure like a cushion, and there were armrest-like structures that prevented Song Jian from flying off.

Song Jian glanced back, and to his surprise, they were already more than two hundred meters away from the oasis, and it had only been the blink of an eye, less than a second.

The eight legs of the spider mount were like springs, slightly bending and then shooting out in an instant, tracing a beautiful arc through the air and racing off into the distance.

“Pfft~”

With a light click, the eight spider legs drilled into the sandy ground. After a brief pause, they sprang forward like springs, propelling the entire body forward at an extremely fast pace. This process was not only swift but also almost vibration-free. However, this mode of advancement required Song Jian to spend some time getting used to it.

Click, clack, click-clack~

The robot Nafiboja behind him also transformed, just like a Transformer, into a streamlined device that clung tightly to Song Jian’s back, making it seem as if a metallic seat had appeared behind him.

“With this speed, we only need three hours to leave this desert,” the clear voice of robot Nafiboja echoed in Song Jian’s ear.

“That’s incredibly fast, even faster than my Sword Flight Art…” A slight smile played on Song Jian’s lips as he thought to himself with pleasant surprise. Such a mount was a tremendous help, whether for escaping or pursuing enemies, invaluable beyond measure. Most importantly, it possessed the ability to devour the corpses of monsters for self-upgrading, truly a top-tier mount among top-tier mounts.

The spider mount charged straight ahead in a bee line. Even when encountering a group of monsters, it did not dodge and charged straight through. But its speed was so fast that by the time the monsters reacted, the spider mount had already left them behind. If it weren’t for robot Nafiboja, these creatures probably wouldn’t even feel the desire to pursue. However, now, Nafiboja had attracted quite a bit of attention from the monsters, and a large group of desert creatures had appeared behind the spider mount.

However, these monsters were much slower than the spider mount. They looked formidable but in reality, with each moment, more creatures would give up due to the distance, while many more would join the pursuit due to robot Nafiboja.

After two hours, the sky had begun to lighten, and Song Jian could see towering volcanoes in the distance. Some were covered with thick ash, while others spewed dense smoke, as if they could erupt at any moment.

“The number of ruler-level monsters behind us has already exceeded thirteen. If we continue heading straight through, we are projected to attract more than five additional ruler-level monsters,” robot Nafiboja remained diligent in scanning the terrain and monsters despite being in the midst of a run.

“That’s fine, none of them are as fast as my mount!” Song Jian confidently patted the spider mount beneath him, revealing a beaming smile on his face.

Just then, a creature resembling a monkey suddenly popped out from the left side of the desert, screeching as it lunged towards Song Jian. It was a desert-specific creature, a level 58 Sand Monkey. They were not large, only about the size of an adult human, but they were special beings, half-elemental, half-flesh and blood.

Like desert lurkers, they were adept at hiding in the sand, and while buried, their bodies could turn into ordinary grains of sand, undetectable by even the most powerful of perceptions.

It was only in the moment of launching an attack that their bodies would transform from earth elementals into flesh and blood creatures.

Evidently, this Sand Monkey had been lying in ambush for a long time, targeting the robot Nafiboja on the spider mount. Its arms were extremely long, and as it sprung from the ground, its palms reached for Nafiboja.

At that moment, one of the spider legs suddenly changed direction, stabbing the airborne Sand Monkey like a spear, and with a violent shake, the monkey’s body exploded into a burst of sand grains. Hitting the ground, the grains reconvened into the shape of a Sand Monkey, which let out an angry roar at the spider mount.

The Sand Monkey on the ground could not catch up with the rapidly dashing spider mount and was quickly engulfed by the pursuing army behind the spider mount.

Before long, the spider mount entered the volcanic region, took a turn, and its figure was blocked by a volcano, no longer visible.
