I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1107 - Chapter 1107 Chapter 1109 Special Area_1

Chapter 1107: Chapter 1109: Special Area_1 Chapter 1107: Chapter 1109: Special Area_1 Song Jian looked towards the canyon and saw about a dozen monster eggs placed on both sides of the passage, each containing Evolution Essence. However, due to different evolution stages of the Insect Soldiers within the eggs, the amount of Evolution Essence varied.

At this point, Song Jian had already regarded all the Evolution Essence as his own assets and naturally refused to let the Insect Soldiers inside them go to waste, starting to destroy them one by one.

In just over a dozen minutes, Song Jian had killed off all the Insect Soldiers inside the monster eggs and retrieved all the Evolution Essence, ending up with thirty-two bottles of the substance, totaling nearly a hundred kilograms.

This Evolution Essence could only be used on flesh-and-blood organisms. Song Jian’s stone elemental pet, Gulu, was not eligible to use it. Therefore, Song Jian gave all the Evolution Essence to his spider mount, which was still in the hatching stage of the monster eggs.

“What a pity the Black Dragon isn’t in the Pet Space, otherwise I would have focused on cultivating it first…” Song Jian looked at an empty slot in the Pet Space, feeling somewhat regretful.

After all, the Black Dragon was his first combat pet and could also serve as a flying mount once it grew up, making it among the most top-tier combat pets.

Because of the Dragon Head Strange Tree in the Poisonous Swamp, which had a special attraction to Dragon Clan creatures, especially the fruits that they bore, all creatures with Dragon Clan blood would go crazy for them, including the Black Dragon. After Song Jian had killed the Elite Level BOSS guarding the Dragon Head Strange Tree, the Black Dragon refused to leave its base.

However, the Black Dragon had still not severed its combat pet relationship with Song Jian. Normally, if a combat pet stayed away from its master for a long time, the intimacy would rapidly decline over time, causing the pet to betray its owner.

Yet, despite being separated from Song Jian for over a year, the intimacy had not decreased; miraculously, the intimacy between Black Dragon and Song Jian would even occasionally increase. Song Jian guessed that it might be because he had let it stay by the Dragon Head Strange Tree.

At first, Song Jian would still visit the Poisonous Swamp to check on the Black Dragon, but he had been too busy lately and it had been a long time since his last visit. He wondered how the Black Dragon was doing and whether its tier had increased again.

While thinking about the Black Dragon as a combat pet, Song Jian suddenly realized that he had unconsciously used all the Evolution Essence on his spider mount. The egg of the spider mount, originally white with strange patterns on its surface, had turned entirely black like the eggs of the Insect Soldiers he had destroyed, emanating a metallic luster and looking just like an iron egg.

At the same time, a twelve-hour countdown had appeared on the egg of the spider mount, which must be the hatching time.

“I hope that when you hatch, your quality can be elevated to another tier!” Song Jian watched the trembling spider mount’s egg in the inventory, quietly hoping.

The spider mount’s tier was already at the Gold Tier, and ascending one more would make it reach the epic level. At that point, even Gulu’s potential for growth might not be as great. However, Gulu was a combat pet, only able to assist in battle, while the spider mount was a mount, meant only for travel. Even with significant growth potential, it would only mean a faster movement speed. Thinking back, choosing the spider egg as a mount seemed somewhat wasteful.

After sorting things out, Song Jian’s gaze fell on the narrow passage ahead. From the passage, one could faintly hear the sharp shrieking of many Insect Soldiers, suggesting that there was no small number of them. Moreover, the number of BOSS Insect Soldiers inside was likely substantial. In the outer cave, Song Jian had so far only found one Insect Soldier BOSS guarding the Dark Gold Treasure Chest and had not encountered any others. But looking at the passage ahead, he felt as if a malevolent and bloody aura, like a flood, was continuously pouring out of the entrance.

In fact, there was nothing in the passage – it appeared as just a crack split open in the rock wall, with dark brown moss even growing on either side of the rock walls, looking no different from any other underground cave passage.

Song Jian took a deep breath and stepped towards the tunnel. As soon as he entered, he immediately received a system message.

System: You have entered a special region. Due to the hidden task origins, if you proceed, the special region you are in will become a sealed mission space, and you can only leave after completing the task. Any teleportation skills or items will be unusable before the task is completed. Do you wish to continue?

Song Jian hesitated briefly, thinking to himself, “It seems that this is the key place to complete the mission…”

With this thought, Song Jian didn’t hesitate any longer and continued to move forward. After taking two steps, the entrance of the tunnel behind him was suddenly blocked by a layer of semi-transparent light screen.

Looking back, the light screen at the entrance of the tunnel rippled like a wave, constantly undulating. Through the light screen, Song Jian could vaguely see the scenery outside the cave.

Although the light screen was thin, Song Jian knew that he probably wouldn’t be able to leave without completing the task, and falling a level was perhaps the mildest penalty for failure. If it were another player undertaking this task, it was likely they might lose their life here.

With that thought, Song Jian’s figure vanished on the spot and reappeared after a moment, a hint of a smile on his face.

The special region restriction had disabled all means of teleportation, cutting off Song Jian’s way out. However, the fragmented Divine Country seemed to be unaffected by this mysterious force. Song Jian could freely enter and leave the Divine Country, which meant that at the very least, his life was secure. As long as he wasn’t instantly killed, Song Jian could quickly seek refuge in the Divine Country and save his life.

Song Jian continued along the tunnel and soon saw insect soldiers wandering in an underground cave at the end of the passage.

This cave was much smaller than the one outside the tunnel, about the size of two football fields. Around the cave, there were countless fresh white insect eggs, as if they had just been laid.

Next to each egg, there were at least two elite-level Insect Soldiers guarding it. These elite-level Insect Soldiers had a thicker carapace than ordinary soldiers. Even their joints sprouted fierce bone spurs, each more than a foot long, covering the joints completely. Not only could they serve as protection, but in battle, they could also be used as weapons.

Just as Song Jian was observing the insect eggs and soldiers in the cave, a shrill screeching sound emanated from the depths of the cave. The sound, like a sonic attack, caused Song Jian’s face to turn pale as if his chest had been struck with a hammer. He couldn’t help but stagger backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. A damage value of over two thousand floated above his head.

A look of alarm appeared in Song Jian’s eyes. Although most of the damage was because he had been completely unprepared, it was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying sonic attack. Most importantly, he could only rely on his resistance to endure it. Even if he used the “Soul Wander” skill and was in a soul state, the sonic attack would still cause him harm.

“Trouble,” Song Jian’s expression turned ugly.
