I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1122 - Chapter 1122 Chapter 1124 Tree Elf_1

Chapter 1122: Chapter 1124 Tree Elf_1 Chapter 1122: Chapter 1124 Tree Elf_1 This square was too eerie, not a single monster in sight, and around it, there were no traces of battle, especially after having enduring a tough fight before reaching this place, it gave the feeling of a deliberately set resting spot.

Song Jian’s Eye of Insight was continuously active, but it failed to detect any abnormalities. Just as he began to relax slightly, preparing to rest near the fountain, an aged voice suddenly arose from behind, making the hairs on his body stand on end.

“Young man, welcome to Bloody Town!”

Song Jian immediately gripped the Sky-breaking Sword tightly, turned around, and looked behind him with a wary face. The movement speed of the Moon Essence Wheel also accelerated a bit, yet he did not attack any targets.

“Who are you?” Song Jian asked cautiously. Before him appeared a semi-transparent figure, which looked like an old woman wrapped in a black cloak.

“I am just a pitiable soul imprisoned here, heh heh~” The old woman seemed somewhat cold, with her hands tightly clutching the front of her cloak, she raised her head to look at Song Jian.

Her eyes were crimson as blood, which tightened Song Jian’s heart, suggesting that this person was not an ordinary human while they were alive.

The old woman continued, “It’s very good that you could come here, your strength has been recognized, and that’s why I have appeared before you! You may purchase any item from here, and after buying, you can choose to continue forward or to return the way you came.”

“What will I encounter if I go deeper?” Song Jian asked. He wanted to gain some information about this town from the enigmatic soul of the woman before him.

“What you’ll encounter, heh heh…” The old woman’s eyes were fixed on Song Jian, with a sinister smile on her face, looking as if a venomous snake was eyeing a frog, pondering where to bite.

“You will meet immense horror, you will be like a tender lamb being torn apart by a pack of hungry wolves…” The old woman laughed, her voice sounded malevolent, as if casting the most vicious curse.

Song Jian frowned, realizing that this woman’s soul in front of him seemed somewhat mad, spouting nonsense, providing no useful information at all.

“What can I get from you?” Song Jian interrupted the other’s words and asked directly.

The old woman’s malicious curses stopped abruptly, and the murkiness in her eyes cleared up instantly. She waved her hand, and a semi-transparent screen appeared before Song Jian, showcasing an array of bizarre goods.

“You can only choose one item to buy, this is your reward for being able to reach this place!” The old woman seemed to regain the appearance of a normal person only while conducting a transaction.

Song Jian ignored this strange soul because he discovered he was unable to sense or lock onto the woman’s soul before him. She looked just like an illusion, and if he closed his eyes, he could not feel her presence.

Song Jian even believed that if he were to attack her now, he would likely only slash through the air, making contact with nothing physical.

The woman’s soul before him resembled a special NPC merchant, who had provided Song Jian with a shop inventory and now stood by idly with a blank expression, as if the person who had cursed and raged before were someone else entirely.

“Strong human souls…” Song Jian stood dumbfounded upon seeing the first item; how could human souls be for sale here? Moreover, the maximum quantity on offer was a hundred thousand.

Looking further down, Song Jian found himself speechless at the list of bizarre items.

“Half-Bearman (Bear Tribe) embryos, 500 available for sale, fresh liver of a Thunderbird, 30 available…”

The list spanned three to four pages, each bearing dozens of items. However, each item didn’t seem like any normal in-game merchandise; they were either embryos, organs, or a variety of limbs suitable for grafting onto a human body.

“This is simply a demented list of biological specimens…” Song Jian couldn’t help but criticize internally. Such goods held no allure for him.

Just as he felt disappointed and was about to close the list before him, the old woman’s expression turned fiercely twisted again as she said in an icy voice, “As a reward, you must purchase an item…”

Song Jian looked up at the old woman. Honestly, he was curious to see if she would turn into a BOSS and start a battle with him if he refused to buy any of the listed items.

However, Bloody Town was filled with strangeness at every turn, and Song Jian didn’t want to complicate matters. Furrowing his brow, he scrolled the list to the last page.

“A thousand tree elves?” Song Jian’s eyes lit up when he saw the last item on the list.

Tree elves are a kind of Wood attribute elf, belonging to the category of immortals. They possess no offensive capabilities and are among the most delicate of elves. They excel in cultivating trees, drawing on the faint Wood elemental aura released by plants to survive while also being able to attach themselves to any plant.

Far from causing any harm to plants, they actually accelerate plant growth. Even in the desert, if there is a single living plant, placing a tree elf on it can ensure the perpetual survival of the plant–it is truly magical.

In fact, saying that tree elves have no offensive capabilities at all is not entirely accurate. They do lack offensive power on their own, but once they inhabit an ancient tree that has lived for thousands of years, they can merge with the tree to become something akin to an Ancient War Tree, unleashing formidable combat strength.

Once they choose to merge with an ancient tree, however, they will lose the ability to inhabit other plants. Their lives will undergo transformation and they will no longer belong to the immortal category. Instead, they will share the lifespan of the tree they inhabit. If the ancient tree dies for any reason, the tree elf will perish as well.

“I didn’t expect to find such a good thing here,” a satisfied smile surfaced on Song Jian’s face. Although his Shattered Divine Realm had been largely restored by the power of souls, much of it remained desert with only a small forest.

It seemed that the ley lines within the Divine Country were damaged and hard to cultivate. Song Jian had wanted to plant more trees but couldn’t. With these tree elves, at least he could make the environment in his divine realm a bit better.

Glancing at the price tagged beside the tree elves, each elf was only ten thousand Doomsday Coins–a steal, like giving them away for free. He could easily sell them for ten times the price as soon as he got them out of here.

In fact, every city needed these non-threatening tree elves that could significantly contribute to urban development.

Song Jian purchased all thousand tree elves and, after paying ten million Doomsday Coins, the old woman’s figure began to slowly fade away, as if she had never been there at all.
