I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1121 - Chapter 1121 Chapter 1123 Leaving_1

Chapter 1121: Chapter 1123: Leaving_1 Chapter 1121: Chapter 1123: Leaving_1 The sudden battle, for Song Jian, was merely a test for the three of them, and if they couldn’t even withstand this level of intensity, then there was no point in delving deeper, at which time Song Jian would suggest the three wait outside the town.

However, after watching the trio’s performance, Song Jian realized that unless they were surrounded by monsters numbering more than a hundred and over level sixty, it was impossible for the creatures to pose a threat to Song Ya and the others, so he felt relieved about them continuing to explore the depths of the town with him.

Song Jian believed that there must be more than just these few monsters in the town, and that it surely housed a large number of Abyss creatures, and even a substantial amount of BOSSes.

Sure enough, when the four of them had walked less than ten meters, a large number of monsters suddenly burst out from the houses on both sides of the stone path, with strange appearances, but most were humanoid creatures, around level sixty.

At this time, Song Jian no longer stood idly by. After spawning the stone creature Gulu and the Moon Essence Wheel, he drew his sword to join the fight. With his current strength, even without using the Thousand Swords Art, his speed in slaughtering these ordinary monsters was slightly faster than that of Song Ya and the other two combined.

Sword shadows flipped, Sword Qi crisscrossed, and Song Jian swiftly reaped the lives of the surrounding monsters, but as the four penetrated deeper into the town, more and more monsters surged out, as nearly every step was taken over the corpses of dozens of creatures.

Although the battle was fierce, the spoils were extremely rich, which made Song Ya and the others suffer and delight at the same time. If it weren’t for following Song Jian, the three of them would never have been able to penetrate this deep and would have retreated due to exhaustion from the overwhelming number of monsters half an hour earlier.

Just after Song Jian had slain several monsters around him, the space before him suddenly cleared, revealing a small square, no more than three hundred square meters, before his eyes.

There was a fountain in the center of the square, continuously spouting crystal-clear water, while the ground was paved with white granite slabs, with not a single monster around.

Song Jian turned, dodged a monster’s Claw Clash, and thrust the Sky-breaking Sword fiercely into the chest of the creature. A crescent moon-like shadow quickly traced an arc in the air, slicing into the back of the monster’s head, harvesting the last bit of its Vitality before slowly floating back to Song Jian’s side, circling around him.

Lying around Song Jian were the bodies of dozens of monsters, large and small, some thin and under one meter tall, and others bulky and over three meters tall, looking like giants.

“Huff, I, I can’t go on, I need to rest, my mana is drained!” Yu Rui gasped heavily, leaning on his Magic Staff for support, shouting loudly.

Song Ya was also covered in sweat, body trembling, hands clutching a long spear for support against the ground, she seemed to be barely able to stand, let alone pick up the loot dropped by the monsters around her.

Guo Zhiqiang even less ceremoniously sat down on a monster’s corpse, his long sword and shield cast aside, panting heavily.

Looking back, the entire stone path was covered with monster corpses, many even piled atop one another, numbering at least a few hundred.

Song Jian also felt a bit weary, having seldom engaged in close combat with enemies like this since mastering the Thousand Swords Art, this nearly two-hour-long high-intensity combat made Song Jian feel as if his swordsmanship had subtly improved.

This improvement was not a tangible increase in stats, but a subjective feeling, invisible and intangible, yet Song Jian firmly believed in it.

“Lord, we can’t hold on any longer…” Song Ya looked at Song Jian with a pitiful expression, beseeching him.

“Lord, several pieces of my equipment are severely damaged, all showing a yellow state…” Guo Zhiqiang wiped the sweat from his face and said.

“I, I’ve run out of magic potions…” Yu Rui couldn’t hold on any longer and simply sat down on the ground.

Song Jian chuckled and said, “You guys gather up the spoils of battle and then head out. Leave the rest to me.”

“Lord Mayor, we’ve only explored one street of the town so far, not even one-tenth of the whole place. Monsters above level sixty are already appearing. If we go any deeper, I fear even more formidable creatures will show up…” Song Ya said worriedly, “Why don’t you come out with us, and wait until we’ve gathered our guild brothers? Then we can come back and steamroll this place together. It’ll be safer and more efficient that way…”

“Yeah, Lord Mayor, we’ve already made a good haul this time. Going deeper means the danger will increase exponentially, which isn’t cost-effective…” Yu Rui added, trying to persuade as well.

“Anyway, I can’t go any deeper; without the boost from equipment properties, my strength has dropped too fast. If we go on, I’ll just be holding everyone back!” Guo Zhiqiang, who had rested enough, picked up his shield and longsword and shakily stood up.

“Heh, all these spoils are yours to keep. You guys go ahead, and leave the rest to me.” Song Jian waved at the three of them with a smile, then he turned around and walked alone towards the square ahead.

Yu Rui became somewhat anxious and was about to persuade him again, but Song Ya shook her head at him and whispered, “The Lord Mayor must have his own plans; he wouldn’t knowingly walk to his death.”

“Exactly, haven’t you noticed? The Lord Mayor has been holding back all this time. We three are about to collapse from exhaustion, yet he’s only broken a sweat,” Guo Zhiqiang came over, gave Yu Rui a look, and said, “Maybe without the three of us slowing him down, the Lord Mayor’s exploration will be even more efficient.”

“Alright, guess that’s the only way then. Shall we head back to the guild first?” Yu Rui shook his head and suggested.

“Let’s go. We’ve made a fortune this time. Just the gold-quality equipment alone counts up to fifty-six pieces…” Song Ya said joyfully, “If we keep fighting, I won’t even have enough space in my inventory!”

“Heh, let’s use a Town Return Scroll. I’m too tired to walk anymore. After we rest, we can call more people. Who knows, the Lord Mayor might still need our help!” Guo Zhiqiang suggested.

“Okay, this town really is a bit eerie. There’s definitely a BOSS, and maybe we’ll even get one or two pieces of epic equipment…”

As they spoke, they each took out a Teleportation Scroll from their bags, tore it, and a white light appeared before their eyes. However, after the light dissipated, the three of them remained in the same spot.

“What’s going on? The Teleportation Scroll already took effect. Why are we still here?” Guo Zhiqiang stared dumbfounded at the slowly vanishing fragments of the scroll in his hand and exclaimed.

“Strange, even if teleportation isn’t possible, there should have been a warning beforehand. This shouldn’t happen after we’ve already used the Teleportation Scroll…” Song Ya frowned deeply.

“Forget it; it might be because of this town. Let’s leave this town first and then use the Teleportation Scroll,” Yu Rui suggested nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders.

The three gave each other a knowing glance, looked once more at Song Jian’s retreating figure, and followed the street back the way they had come. In a short while, their figures disappeared into the rolling black mist.

At this moment, Song Jian stood in front of the fountain at the center of the square, his eyes flickering with a faint light as he used the Eye of Insight, surveying his surroundings.
