I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1317 - Chapter 1317 Chapter 1319 Holy Spirit Warrior

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1319 Holy Spirit Warrior Chapter 1317: Chapter 1319 Holy Spirit Warrior Gulu’s intelligence was not high, and it could only understand some simple commands, but it did understand the order to transform the surrounding rock walls.

After tossing the purple crystal in its hand to one side, Gulu placed both hands on the rock walls around it.

Watching the raw purple crystal dangling softly, Song Jian’s heart suddenly rose to his throat. These roots, which had turned into jade-like tendrils, had almost lost the flexibility of living organisms and could easily snap. If they broke, Song Jian would have no choice but to seek refuge in the Divine Country or swiftly escape from the place.

These jade-like tendrils had lost their capacity as offensive weapons and could only serve as alarm devices.

Whoosh~

The hard rock walls around them began to transform into falling rubble, and the purple crystals embedded in the walls, lacking support, hung down like fruits, connected by the tendrils of the Abyssal Devil Vine.

Fortunately, although these tendrils were halfway petrified, they were more resilient than Song Jian had imagined. Some of the raw crystals dropped from above, swaying but not falling, while those closer to the ground had already fallen, and the ground was strewn with fist-sized raw purple crystals as far as the eye could see.

It was known that these raw purple crystals, though not as high-quality as those from the core area, were still of very high quality; otherwise, they would not be found deep within the mine.

Now, the problem Song Jian faced was how to collect all these raw purple crystals into his bag or into the Divine Country within a second or two.

Only by gathering these raw purple crystals within a very short time could he safely escape from here without alarming the Abyssal Devil Vine.

“With my current strength, within three seconds, I can pick up at most a few dozen raw purple crystals. I can’t even collect one-fifth of the raw purple crystals in this mine pit. If it’s just like this, it’s too wasteful…” Song Jian thought to himself.

The stone creature, Gulu, beside him was starting to get impatient, continually making a low “gulu” sound, seemingly urging Song Jian and asking if it could devour these raw purple crystals.

A wry smile appeared on Song Jian’s face as he asked Gulu, “Can you collect all these raw purple crystals within a few seconds? The shorter the time, the better?”

A puzzled look appeared in Gulu’s eyes, as if it didn’t understand, but it still tentatively reached out towards a raw purple crystal.

Song Jian quickly stopped it and gestured towards the raw purple crystals in the mine, saying, “All of them, everything, take away, quickly take them away…”

Understanding seemed to dawn in Gulu’s eyes as it placed its two hands on the floor of the mine pit. It didn’t take long for Song Jian to see the raw purple crystals on the ground start to quiver slightly.

Surprise flashed in Song Jian’s eyes, but it quickly turned to disappointment. Song Jian realized that Gulu could only control about one-third of the raw purple crystals on the ground, and that didn’t include the ones dangling in mid-air.

“Is there still no way to take away all these raw purple crystals?” Song Jian thought disappointedly.

You should know this is just a purple crystal ore from one pit within the mine, and the mine is unfathomably deep with countless similar pits. If Song Jian could take control of this mine, he might even step directly into the Legendary Realm, but now he can’t even take away all the purple crystal ore from one pit.

Just at that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Song Jian’s mind, and his figure suddenly vanished from the spot.

Inside the Shattered Divine Realm, Song Jian’s form hovered in midair, overlooking the entire Divine Country below. At this time, vast fields were growing dense Snake Vine Grass, while dozens of Abyssal Puppet Beasts were laboring in the fields. On the other side, in dense forests, innumerable fist-sized points of light slowly swirled around large trees thick enough to wrap arms around. Strands of green vitality occasionally seeped out from these towering trees into the tree spirits, and in a short while, wisps of translucent energy drifted from the bodies of the tree spirits and permeated back into the trees.

The tree spirits and ancient trees existed in a symbiotic state, promoting each other’s growth. However, getting the tree spirits to help him collect purple crystal ore was probably impossible. After all, tree spirits lacked limbs, and their strength was too weak to even nudge the purple crystal ore.

Though Abyssal Puppet Beasts could lend a hand, there were too few of them to make a significant difference. They could only help collect a portion, and Song Jian also had to allocate part of his mental focus to control them, which was not worth the loss.

Before long, Song Jian’s gaze fell upon the newly established Sacred Spirit Temple. At that moment, faint battle cries could be heard coming from inside the temple. Song Jian’s eyes gleamed slightly, and the walls of the Sacred Spirit Temple became transparent before his eyes, revealing the scene within.

At this time, not many Holy Spirit Warriors had been nurtured within the Sacred Spirit Temple–only about a dozen or so. But this wasn’t the limit of the temple; a level-one Sacred Spirit Temple could nurture up to a hundred warriors. The current shortage was merely due to the lack of sufficient Soul Energy, therefore inhibiting the rapid creation of Holy Spirit Warriors.

You should know, the Soul Energy currently absorbed by the Sacred Spirit Temple comes from the portion of Soul Energy that Song Jian received when he killed monsters after the temple was established. With abundant Soul Energy, the number of warriors within the Sacred Spirit Temple could increase rapidly.

“If I had a hundred Holy Spirit Warriors, and each of them could collect two purple crystal ores in an instant, plus the stone man Gulu and myself, we should be able to collect all the purple crystal ore within one or two seconds…” Song Jian calculated in his mind, his eyes shining with excitement.

With a thought, the Soul Energy stored within the Shattered Divine Realm transformed into a column of light that fell toward the Sacred Spirit Temple.

As the Soul Energy drastically diminished, the environment of the Divine Country, which had been slowly improving, slowed down in its progress. Inside the Sacred Spirit Temple, golden points of light emerged one after another. These golden points transformed into human forms at an incredibly fast speed. Each figure was dressed in simple leather armor, wielding a spear and a round shield, and there was a large red cape fluttering behind them, billowing within the temple as if they were Spartan warriors.

“Fight, fight, fight!”

A hundred Holy Spirit Warriors automatically formed up, creating a simple battle formation, raising their spears and roaring loudly.

A surge of robust Vitality and fighting spirit soared into the sky, causing Song Jian, who was floating above, to get goosebumps all over his arms.

“Holy Spirit Warriors, born for battle, never retreat, never regret!” Song Jian’s eyes gleamed. Such warriors were so much stronger than the NPC guards hired in the City of Hope. Having such an army was undoubtedly the biggest trump card under Song Jian’s command!

“It’s just a pity that the first battle of the Holy Spirit Warriors is merely to help me mine, which seems a bit…” Song Jian shook his head, but thinking of the full pit of purple crystal ore, his heart instantly heated up.
