I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1204 - Chapter 1204 Chapter 1206 Task Rewards

Chapter 1204: Chapter 1206 Task Rewards Chapter 1204: Chapter 1206 Task Rewards Running and stopping, Song Jian no longer cared whether this road had an end, whether it circled upon itself, or whether he could find his way out. He now had only one goal: to kill all the monsters here and to boost the level of the stone man Gulu as much as possible.

“If the monsters here could boost my combat experience, my level could rise by several levels at least!” Song Jian thought to himself. One must know, that all the monsters here are elite level 100 BOSSes, and just the experience from killing monsters above your level would be more than what regular monsters provide.

Hum~

Another flash of golden light and the stone man Gulu’s level had risen to level 98. Looking around, the stone pavement was littered with the limbs and flesh of monsters. Standing on the shoulder of the over eight-meter-tall stone man Gulu, Song Jian looked around only to see a vast expanse of white where nothing could be discerned. However, he could feel that within the thick white fog, a large number of monsters were still rushing towards them.

Having reached level 98, the stone man Gulu no longer feared the siege of these monsters. Without the oppression of levels, an elite level Gulu could send a monster flying with a punch and even cast earth magic, causing massive damage to these creatures!

Even if Song Jian didn’t lift a finger, Gulu could battle in the throng of monsters for a whole day and night without feeling a hint of fatigue!

Gulu was increasingly encircled by monsters, to the point of hardly being able to move. Suddenly, Gulu lifted his right foot fiercely and stomped down hard on the ground!

Boom! A loud crash resounded!

Centred around Gulu, countless two-meter-long spikes emerged from the ground, impaling the bodies of the surrounding monsters and leaving them hanging in the air. Each spike had at least two monsters hanging from it.

Seen from above, it resembled a bloom of stone spike flower over ten meters in diameter, with the bodies of monsters hanging from its petals.

Seconds later, the earth elemental energy in the stone spikes dissipated, all of the spikes collapsed, and the corpses of the monsters covered the ground. Even the monsters that hadn’t died yet were all severely wounded, with Gulu stepping forward and crushing each one underfoot.

After killing all the monsters, Gulu seemed quite excited, and to Song Jian’s surprise, started to pound his chest vigorously, like a great ape. Song Jian, caught off guard, was nearly knocked off and had to stabilize himself. Once steady, he couldn’t help but kick Gulu on the head and scolded him with a laugh.

Time passed, unknown how much, and Gulu’s level had risen to 110. Song Jian had become idle and even took a nap on Gulu’s shoulder, fully recovering his state.

“Still a bit boring though,” Song Jian yawned, looking at the endless stream of monsters running to their deaths with an expressionless face.

As a level 110 elite level BOSS, Gulu held level and rank suppression over the surrounding elite level BOSS monsters. No matter how many were surrounding him, they could not break through Gulu’s defenses and could only force him to lose some Vitality Points. By now, Gulu’s Vitality Points had exceeded one hundred thousand. For such attacks, they barely counted as tickles.

Batch after batch of monsters were slain by Gulu, and Song Jian, sitting on Gulu’s shoulder, felt somewhat listless. After some time, Song Jian suddenly felt the silence around them and couldn’t help but look up.

“Eh, did we kill all the monsters?” A hint of joy appeared on Song Jian’s face as he stood up and looked around.

He discovered that the dense white fog around them seemed to be gradually receding, and a massive figure appeared before Song Jian.

“Is, is that the ancient tree outside the temple?” Song Jian exclaimed in astonishment.

The massive figure before me was identical to the ancient tree outside the temple. Standing beneath it, one couldn’t see where its crown ended; its lush branches and leaves enshrouded several kilometers, resembling a small town.

However, in the lower right area near this ancient tree, only bare branches remained, devoid of leaves. Compared to other parts, it looked somewhat eerie.

“You are the most shameless and luckiest bastard I’ve ever seen!” A deafening voice came from within the ancient tree, though it sounded somewhat helpless.

Song Jian stared at that leafless area on the tree’s lower right for a while before he couldn’t help but ask, “Were those fog beasts from before all transformed from your leaves?”

“You guessed right. The monsters here are all transformed from my leaves!” The ancient tree rustled as it replied.

Looking at the entire ancient tree, Song Jian saw that the leafless area was less than one percent of the whole. This meant that if the tree wished, it could send even more monsters to besiege them.

“Just some leaves can transform into level 100 elite bosses. How strong must the true form of this ancient tree be?” A look of horror involuntarily appeared on Song Jian’s face.

As if guessing Song Jian’s thoughts, the ancient tree clarified, “What you see is not my true form. My body is still next to the Star Pool outside the temple!”

“Your entering here was merely a little test of mine. Unexpectedly, you solved it using this method!” The ancient tree thought helplessly, “In fact, you only needed to step into the fog to find me and complete the test!”

Song Jian was stunned. Although entering the mist would cause the monsters to attack him, the body of the ancient tree was too huge. If he searched earnestly, he probably would have touched its branches and leaves in at most half an hour.

What was the difference between being besieged in the mist and on the road? Song Jian had simply fallen into a mental trap at the beginning, not realizing that the way out was hidden within the surrounding fog.

“So now, I should be considered to have completed the assessment, right?” Song Jian asked as he glanced around.

“Consider it done!” The ancient tree sighed. The monsters around were no longer a threat to Song Jian; continuing the test would only serve to provide his war pets with more experience for leveling up. There was no way to proceed with the assessment normally; it had to end!

A verdant branch extended towards Song Jian and slowly wrapped around him. Song Jian didn’t move; he didn’t feel any malice from the ancient tree and let it envelop him.

A flash of green light, and Song Jian’s figure vanished, only to reappear inside the temple shortly after.

No sooner had the system prompt finished than hundreds of treasure boxes densely appeared around the demon statue. These boxes looked nearly identical on the outside, with the only distinction being that each one displayed a semi-transparent phantom above it!

These phantoms varied in appearance, including humans, beastmen, goblins, merfolk, and even Abyss demons. Each figure was vivid; some were beckoning Song Jian, some were roaring at him, and some were even loudly mocking and insulting him. Seeing all this, several dark lines involuntarily formed on Song Jian’s forehead!
