I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1095 - Chapter 1095 Chapter 1097 Death Binding_1

Chapter 1095: Chapter 1097: Death Binding_1 Chapter 1095: Chapter 1097: Death Binding_1 Song Jian arrived at the resurrection room and pushed the door open.

The resurrection room was not large, only about ten square meters in size. In the center of the room was a piece of equipment, which consisted of a platform with three mechanical tentacles suspended in mid-air, looking like a small repair platform.

A female half-beast with glasses was studying a piece of eggshell fragment at a table on the side. Seeing her focused expression, Song Jian felt a bit reluctant to interrupt her.

This half-beast had the head of a cheetah and the body of a human. However, she was quite old with a face full of wrinkles, giving her an aged appearance.

Song Jian waited patiently on the side for a good ten minutes before the half-beast finally lifted her head to give him a glance, a smile appearing on her face.

“Hello, young man, I’m the owner of this pet store. You can call me Master Mafa. How may I assist you?” the female half-beast said, setting aside the piece of eggshell fragment and speaking to Song Jian.

“Hello, Master Mafa, I need to resurrect my pet mount!” Song Jian knew she was a pet master, so he quickly took out an essence of his spider mount that had remained after its death and handed it to the half-beast.

Master Mafa frowned slightly, sighed softly, took the pet essence, and said in a low voice, “Pets are companions, not tools. You should treat them kindly!”

“I’m very sorry. I encountered a King Level BOSS in Scorching Gorge…” Song Jian sighed slightly as he spoke.

Master Mafa looked at him in surprise and said, “It seems you do not value the life of your pet, and even your own life isn’t much of a concern to you!”

Song Jian was at a loss for words, not sure what to say in response.

Master Mafa carefully placed the essence of the spider mount on the equipment in the middle of the resurrection room. In no time, the start light on the device lit up, and three mechanical arms radiated dazzling white light beams, shining on the surface of the pet essence.

A miniature virtual image of a spider floated up from the pet essence, rotating slowly like a 3D projection before Master Mafa’s eyes. At the same time, a brilliant Dark Gold light burst forth from the pet essence.

“My god, a Dark Gold Quality top-tier mount!” Master Mafa exclaimed. At the same time, she looked up and glared fiercely at Song Jian.

Even though this was originally Song Jian’s pet, he suddenly felt a pang of guilt when Master Mafa glared at him.

“The resurrection fee will be 530,000 Doomsday Coins!” Master Mafa said to Song Jian, clearly not in the best of moods.

Song Jian was taken aback: “Is it that expensive?”

“Of course. We charge based on the rank of the pet, and by resurrecting here, you can retain as much of your pet’s potential lost due to death as possible!” Master Mafa said proudly, holding her head high.

“Death doesn’t result in the loss of pet potential?” Song Jian was startled and quickly took out the fee. He knew well that his spider mount possessed an excellent devouring ability. If nurtured well, it might break through Dark Gold Quality and reach the epic quality!

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside the door, and the door to the resurrection room was pushed open directly.

“You said there were no gold-quality pet mounts available, what is this?” A pale-faced youth pointed at the spider mount on the resurrection device and shouted loudly, a smirk of triumph spreading across his face.

“Sir, I’m sorry, but this is not a pet from our pet store. It belongs to this gentleman. I’m sorry you’ve disturbed them; could you please leave?” the cat-eared girl beside him said in a low, uneasy voice, trying to persuade him.

Mafa, feeling interrupted, immediately showed a flash of anger on his face and was about to scold loudly, but upon looking up at the pale-faced youth, his anger vanished, replaced by a frown and a hint of hesitation, “Blood Clan?”

“You must be the renowned Pet Master, Miss Mafa!” The Blood Clan youth elegantly took off his hat to Mafa and said with a beaming smile, “I have always heard that a Pet Master resides in seclusion in Fengming City, and today, having met you, I see that the reputation is well-deserved. Miss Mafa, I would like to purchase this gold-quality pet mount, if I may?”

Although the Blood Clan youth was smiling, his eyes were fixed on Mafa like a ravenous wolf, while Song Jian, standing beside, might as well have been nothing more than air in the youth’s view.

Mafa glanced at the cat-eared girl standing at the door, waved her off, and the cat-eared girl gave a slight bow to Master Mafa before closing the door and stepping out.

“I apologize, but there are currently no gold-quality pet mounts in my pet store…” Mafa spoke cautiously, “This Dark Gold Quality pet mount that is being resurrected belongs to this gentleman and is not part of my pet store!”

Just then, a sharp screeching sound came from the device, and the palm-sized phantom of the spider mount instantaneously swelled to the size of a millstone, its body surface revealing a bloody hue, burning fiercely like flames.

This phenomenon did not last long, and after about three or four seconds, the phantom of the spider mount, ablaze with Vitaity flames, gradually disappeared, absorbed by the pet essence. Shortly after, the pet essence was enveloped by a glow of Dark Gold, changing into a pet egg patterned with flames on its surface.

Song Jian’s heart sank upon witnessing the scene and he quickly asked, “Master, what did that phenomenon just now represent?”

“Incredible, truly incredible…” As Mafa shut down the resurrection device and looked at the pet egg on the platform, a look of surprise surfaced on her face as she shook her head and exclaimed, “That was Death Binding. During its resurrection, the pet broke free from the bindings of death, which is an ability that not one in ten thousand pets would possess. After its revival, this pet mount will not suffer any damage. Instead, it will have enhanced potential because it escaped Death Binding. With proper nurturing, there’s a high chance it could break through the gold tier to reach epic level!”

A look of joy appeared on Song Jian’s face, and he quickly said, “Thank you, Master Mafa.”

As he spoke, Song Jian moved forward to collect the pet egg, but a figure stepped in front of him.

“Human, I have taken a liking to your mount. Sell it to me, and I can offer you a good price!” the Blood Clan youth said, tilting his head with an arrogant look as he addressed Song Jian.

Song Jian looked up and scrutinized the Blood Clan youth before him, who seemed to be in his early twenties, yet his level had already reached sixty.

Song Jian sneered and was about to respond when Mafa suddenly spoke up, “This is Lord Meng Zhala from Bloody Castle, who once hunted a sixty-level lord-level BOSS by himself. His father is a Blood Clan prince with the peak strength of third-tier combat power, who has been in seclusion for ten years and could enter the legendary domain at any moment…”

Song Jian’s heart chilled. Another with the peak strength of third-tier combat power. However, this prince’s strength was undoubtedly inferior to the Flame King’s, who had reached the pinnacle of level 120 combat power a millennium ago and had not yet stepped into legend. By comparison, this Blood Clan prince who had entered the third tier just ten years ago was nothing but a junior in front of the Flame King.

“If it were the Blood Clan prince himself standing before me, I might have to be somewhat cautious, but this so-called Lord Meng Zhala thinks to buy my fine pet mount with just a few words, which is nothing but a pipe dream!” A cold smirk appeared on Song Jian’s lips as he pushed the Blood Clan youth aside, took the spider pet egg, bowed to Mafa, and turned to leave.

No sooner had he left the resurrection room than Song Jian heard a low growl like that of a wild beast behind him, eliciting a cold laugh from him.
