I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1119 - Chapter 1119 Chapter 1121 Town_1

Chapter 1119: Chapter 1121 Town_1 Chapter 1119: Chapter 1121 Town_1 This town is so eerie, and the trail of the Abyssal monster we were pursuing also ends here. Song Jian, naturally, wouldn’t just quietly leave; he had to enter and explore it.

“The town seems somewhat dangerous, you all stay here and observe. If any danger arises, retreat immediately!” Song Jian instructed with concern.

“My lord, are you planning to explore inside?” exclaimed the man holding a sword and shield.

Song Jian smiled and glanced at him. The young man appeared to be only about twenty years old, with a somewhat youthful face and a faint ring of fuzz above his lips, seemingly a college student yet to step into society.

“We can’t just ignore it. There might be more Abyssal creatures inside, and maybe the Abyss Fortress is hidden within this town!” Song Jian said with a smile.

“We’ll go with you, an extra person means extra strength,” said the girl with Elf bloodline after much thought. “By the way, my name is Song Ya, these two are my university classmates, his name is Guo Zhiqiang…” Song Ya pointed to the man holding the sword and shield.

She then pointed at another man holding a Magic Staff, dressed in a purple robe, saying, “His name is Yu Rui. We’re all freshmen at Coastal University!”

“Oh, fellow townsfolk, haha! But it’s too dangerous in there. I can sense a lurking threat inside, and if we all go in, I’m not sure I can keep everyone safe!” Song Jian frowned slightly and showed an apologetic smile.

“My lord, we don’t need your protection. We’re here to help you, not to be a burden,” Song Ya shook her head and said, “I possess the blood of a high Elf. Guo Zhiqiang may look like an ordinary Sword and Shield Warrior, but he actually belongs to an epic profession, the War God Follower, and Yu Rui has even received the blessing of a legendary Mage and is a rare profession, the Arcanist…”

Song Ya didn’t mention her own profession, but instead showed off her strongest side to Song Jian. With the blood of a high Elf, she was naturally a born agile professional and Mage. In reality, although she seemed to be wielding dual guns, and her profession was that of a Bounty Hunter, she was also in an epic profession, the Lawbreaker. Not only did she possess extremely powerful attack capabilities, but she was also proficient in using a variety of weapons. Dual guns were just what she was most comfortable with. In her inventory, there were also long swords, meteor hammers, Battle Halberds, Magic Staffs, and a dozen other types of weapons, each corresponding to one or even several skills. Once fully operational, Song Ya’s output was equivalent to that of an entire combat squad.

Seeing the three of them eager to try, Song Jian felt a headache coming on, but according to Song Ya’s introduction, these three were clearly much stronger than average players, or else they wouldn’t be bold enough to follow the trail of the Abyssal hound to this place by themselves.

After thinking for a while, Song Jian let out a sigh and nodded, “Alright then, let’s go in together. But if we encounter any danger, remember to retreat immediately.”

“Rest assured, my lord, we will definitely follow your commands and won’t hold you back in any way,” Song Ya promised with a hint of excitement.

The three of them had broken away from the main force, following the trail of the Abyssal hound all the way to this place, aiming to gain greater benefits. Now that they had found their target, it was natural for them to want to explore it.

Before Song Jian had arrived, the three had already planned to explore the town. Although they too could sense the danger lurking within, they were seeking fortune amid peril. Simply waiting wouldn’t allow them to rapidly enhance their strength.

Moreover, the three had a tacit understanding of each other’s abilities; they were confident they could take down any boss-creature of the same level, including the Lord-level ones. They each had a few tricks up their sleeves to ensure their survival, and were confident they could retreat with their lives if necessary.

Now that Song Jian was planning to explore, they definitely wanted to cling to such a strong ally. Following Song Jian into the town would mean sharing some of the potential dangers, ensuring greater safety. And if there was any gain, Song Jian, as a leader, would not hog all the benefits for himself. As a member of the same alliance, Song Jian’s character and style were guaranteed.

They had just sold a King Level BOSS pet egg in the battle alliance for almost half its price, and if they were to earn something this time, Song Ya believed that the three of them were certain to get a considerable share of the benefits.

Song Jian and the three headed towards the town, and soon, the four of them arrived at a road outside the town. The road extended from the town for about five or six meters before abruptly breaking off, as if it had been severed by someone, quite out of place with the surrounding scenery.

“Be careful,” Song Jian said in a low voice, concerned, as he released his battle pet, the Stoneman Gulu.

The level fifty Stoneman Gulu, waking up from its slumber, seemed a bit confused, tilting its head and looking around, with an expression of cluelessness.

The Gulu, with the strength of a Lord Level BOSS, didn’t need to be let out of the Pet Space for air every now and then to maintain its closeness value, unlike other war pets. Its favorite thing to do was to sleep soundly in the Pet Space, and it didn’t care if it slept forever.

“So this is the Stoneman war pet Gulu, it looks quite mighty. At least it seems much more reassuring than Qiangzi,” Yu Rui commented as he looked up and down at the nearly three-meter tall Stoneman Gulu in admiration.

“This is a war pet with lord-level strength!” Guo Zhiqiang couldn’t help but roll his eyes as he spoke. Although he was of an epic profession, if he were to fight a one-on-one battle with a level fifty Lord BOSS, he definitely wouldn’t be the victor; he could only ensure that he wouldn’t get killed by his opponent.

Song Jian smiled slightly and controlled Gulu to continue towards the town.

A faint grey mist pervaded the town, and Song Jian could sense the presence of the Abyss within this black fog. The aura was very faint, and if it were a player who had never encountered Abyssal Hell, they’d likely overlook it without paying any attention. But for Song Jian, this hint of Abyss presence was as conspicuous as a torch in the night.

“It seems this is the place,” Song Jian thought to himself. Those Abyssal hounds must have come out from here. It’s possible that there’s an Abyss Fortress lurking within this town, although the level of the fortress was unknown.

Their arrival seemed to have startled something, and the swirling speed of the surrounding black mist became more intense. From time to time, many ferocious faces would condense from the mist and charge towards the group, as if eagerly trying to howl loudly and pounce.

These were mere illusions which had no effect on the four of them. Song Jian and his companions remained calm, showing no signs of being frightened.

Just then, from the depths of the town, came a “flap, flap, flap” of wings beating, as if a large group of monsters was flying towards them.

The Stoneman Gulu stopped in its tracks and let out a low growl towards the black fog up ahead, assuming a combat stance.

“Prepare for battle!” Song Jian called out in a low voice, summoning the Sky-breaking Sword into his palm with a gesture, its blade emitting a sharp Sword Qi.

Song Ya and the others tensed up as well, readying themselves for the impending conflict.
