I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1177 - Chapter 1177 Chapter 1179 Really Good_1

Chapter 1177: Chapter 1179: Really Good_1 Chapter 1177: Chapter 1179: Really Good_1 Song Jian stowed away his bamboo shovel and ran toward the direction from which the roar was coming.

Hunting a Lord-level BOSS and obtaining a perfect quality core was also one of the assessment targets, but the area around Sword Pond Lake was just home to some ordinary monsters of levels 50-60. Not to mention a Lord-level BOSS, he hadn’t even seen an Elite-level BOSS. Seeking out a BOSS required not just experience, but also a certain amount of luck.

Having heard that low growl just moments ago, Song Jian knew his luck had come. After hunting so many monsters, he could distinguish the level of a monster by its roar. The monster that had just roared was at least a Lord-level BOSS, maybe even a Sovereign-level!

Xin Ling was startled to see Song Jian give up continuing to gather Red Sword Grass and run off into the distance. She didn’t know what he was planning to do, but she didn’t stand still and instead followed him without hesitation.

At some point, perhaps without even realizing it herself, Xin Ling was already being influenced by Song Jian’s every move. Subconsciously, she had acknowledged his strength and began to pay close attention to everything he did.

Song Jian charged in the direction of the roaring. Soon, a gigantic monster appeared in front of them. The creature looked like an enlarged version of a leopard, with inch-long fangs protruding from its mouth, somewhat reminiscent of the saber-toothed tigers from ancient times.

The monster’s body wasn’t covered in smooth fur but rather by large chunks of bone armor, like a suit of armor, completely enveloping its body. It seemed this creature was not only formidable in attack but likely exceedingly beyond ordinary imagination in defense as well.

The creature was continuously tearing at a wild boar over two meters long, its pair of sharp fangs easily ripping through the boar’s thick hide and munching on the juicy muscles.

Song Jian narrowed his eyes and released the Eye of Insight. The attributes of the monster in front of him instantly appeared before his eyes.

“Bone Armor Sabertooth Tiger, Elite-level BOSS, Level 75, Vitality Points: 320000/320000”

“Just a Level 75 Elite-level BOSS…” Song Jian’s face showed a disappointed expression. He knew that the assessment task required hunting a Lord-level BOSS, and the required core had to be of excellent quality or better.

Even if one killed a Lord-level BOSS, the chance of it dropping a core was not high, and even if it did drop, most of them were of ordinary quality. The probability of a Lord-level BOSS dropping an excellent quality core was even lower, although higher for Sovereign-level BOSSes.

After waiting a bit longer and seeing that the Eye of Insight didn’t trigger the BOSS’s aggro, Song Jian shook his head and started to back away. Time wasn’t in abundance for him, and it would be a waste to spend it hunting this Elite-level BOSS when he could be gathering Red Sword Grass instead. His Medicine Gathering Skill had reached Expert Level 7, and within one more hour, it should reach Level 8. He was confident that in one night, he could get his Medicine Gathering Skill up to Master Level.

Noticing Song Jian retracting, Xin Ling approached with a look of puzzlement and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong? Why not kill it? That’s a Level 75 Elite-level BOSS. Are you afraid you can’t overcome it?”

Song Jian looked at Xin Ling with some surprise. With her level, there was no way she could check that BOSS’s specific attributes; in her eyes, the BOSS’s level would appear as skeleton-level, let alone its Elite attributes. It seemed that Xin Ling must also possess a scouting ability similar to the Eye of Insight.

“A Level 75 Elite BOSS, huh? It’s bound to drop some good loot. How about we team up and take it down? You alone might not be able to, but together we definitely can,” Xin Ling said, licking her lips and looking excitedly at the over four-meter-long creature ahead.

You should know, the chance of encountering a BOSS in the wild is very low. At the beginning of the game, players would avoid BOSSes, but now, with their levels, skills, and equipment all risen, they have started scouring the map in search of BOSSes to hunt down.

If one person couldn’t handle it, they would form a small team. If a small team couldn’t take it down, they would call for more people. Sometimes, the loot from a single Elite BOSS could be worth as much as what a five-person team could dig up in a week’s worth of mining, or a week’s worth of lumber gathering.

Human ambition is directly proportional to their strength. When people are weak, the wise suppress the flames of ambition in their hearts, but as players’ strength quickly increases, the fire of ambition grows ever stronger deep within them!

Although Xin Ling possessed the Ancient Moon Sword Physique, in the game, she was only slightly stronger than the average player and didn’t even reach the level of elite players. Seeing an Elite BOSS, despite its high level, she was confident that, if she teamed up with Song Jian, they could definitely kill it.

Song Jian shook his head slightly, turned around without hesitation, and walked away. Xin Ling grew anxious. With her strength, it would indeed be difficult to handle this level seventy-five Elite BOSS. She quickly caught up to Song Jian and said, “The spoils will be divided based on contribution, the old rules, no one loses out. This is a level seventy-five Elite BOSS, it might even drop one or two level seventy gold pieces of equipment. We’ll be set!”

“Don’t forget what you came here for!” Song Jian pushed Xin Ling’s hand away, speaking in a low voice.

On the road to success, there are all kinds of temptations. If a person cannot stay focused on their goals and gets distracted by these temptations, they may never reach their goals!

Xin Ling was shaken, seemingly understanding something as she watched Song Jian’s retreating figure, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

“You’re right, our assessment target is what we need to focus on the most, nothing else matters!” Xin Ling nodded and said, “My Master Level Medicine Gathering Skill is already level five. At most, in a day and a night, I can reach the Great Grandmaster level. I believe that with the Great Grandmaster level Medicine Gathering Skill, I can definitely gather perfectly quality Red Sword Grass. If the Great Grandmaster level isn’t enough, with the remaining time, I will find a way to raise my Medicine Gathering Skill to the Great Grandmaster level. I must…”

Listening to the confident words of Xin Ling behind him, a smile appeared on Song Jian’s lips. It seemed that this young girl was not lacking in comprehension; she had understood his meaning.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly heard Xin Ling exclaim from behind, “Eh, behind that Bone Armor Saber-Toothed Tiger, why is there a chest flickering with purple-red light? Is that the legendary epic treasure chest from the wild?”

Upon hearing the words ‘epic treasure chest’, Song Jian was instantly thrilled. He immediately turned around and ran to Xin Ling’s side, squinting and looking ahead, “Where, where is it? There’s actually a wild treasure chest here, we’re in luck!”

You see, this is an area where monsters level seventy and above roam. If an epic treasure chest appears, it will definitely contain an item of epic quality level seventy or higher, immensely valuable, and even Song Jian could not help but be tempted.

At this moment, all thoughts of the assessment task, the assessment target, were all thrown to the back of Song Jian’s mind, as he felt the irresistible attraction of the ‘true fragrance’ principle.
