I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1326 - Chapter 1326 Chapter 1328 Doubt

Chapter 1326: Chapter 1328: Doubt Chapter 1326: Chapter 1328: Doubt The Abyssal Magic Vine was seriously injured; otherwise, it would not have simply set an ambush here with a single vine upon detecting Song Jian’s presence, and even resorted to using poison to attack him.

You have to understand, when the Abyssal Magic Vine was at its peak, it would not stoop to such petty tricks but rather crush its opponents with undeniable superiority. It forced Song Jian to flee in desperation, completely unable to resist.

Thinking of this, Song Jian’s confidence soared, and his heart grew fiery with anticipation. Even a seriously injured Legendary Realm peak boss was still of the Legendary Realm. Upon its death, there was still a chance to drop legendary quality items, though the probability would be much lower.

“Even if it doesn’t drop legendary quality items, the likelihood of epic quality items is still quite substantial. It’s time for me to replace the gear I’m currently wearing!” Song Jian thought to himself.

He was still wearing the Ant Emperor Ancestor Set, which was as powerful as epic quality gear, but its level was too low, no longer matching his current level of one hundred.

Song Jian kept weaving through the underground fissures. Even within these crevices, he could see flashes of dark purple light. It seemed there were many Purple Crystal ores, and what’s more, they were ores that the Abyssal Magic Vine had not yet absorbed.

“Not only Purple Crystal ores, there are many other precious minerals!” Song Jian only glanced briefly as he passed by and did not inspect them very closely, but he still saw plenty of high-quality and high-level ores.

“This place is simply a miner’s paradise, a chance to strike it rich overnight!” Song Jian secretly thought to himself: “As long as I kill the Abyssal Magic Vine, this mine will be mine!”

Even the NPCs of the Abyssal Human Clan dared not venture deep into the underground fissures; once Song Jian killed the Abyssal Magic Vine, all the ores in these fissures would be his for the taking.

But just at that moment, a “crack” sound shattered Song Jian’s beautiful dream. It seemed the Abyssal Magic Vine had not given up on this area. Moreover, because the ore quality here was exceptionally high, even the violent extraction of their energy would not cause these minerals to shatter for quite some time.

“Damn it!” Song Jian’s anticipation turned into despair, and a fierce anger surged within him. He picked up his pace, and in no time, he arrived in an underground cave.

This cave appeared much like an underground cavern, incredibly spacious, with the sound of trickling water beneath his feet. Looking around, there were oddly shaped rocks everywhere, and among these rocks, there were still chunks of dark Purple Crystal ore set in. However, although the quality of these ores was extremely high, most of the energy within them had already been extracted by the Abyssal Magic Vine, leaving only a faint violet glow on their surface.

In the center of these rocks, a huge mass of purple-black vines entwined with each other, forming a sphere over ten meters in diameter. This tangled ball was the body of the Abyssal Magic Vine, resembling thousands of pythons intertwined, enough to send shivers down the spine of someone with a fear of clusters.

Song Jian stared at the base of the Abyssal Magic Vine, his face showing a look of surprise.

“What is this? It can’t be…”

At the base of the Abyssal Magic Vine was a pool emitting a dark purple glow. Upon closer inspection, the water was actually liquid Purple Crystal, of much higher quality than any Purple Crystal he had ever seen.

A dense vapor hovered over the pool, gathering without dispersing and slowly seeping into the body of the Abyssal Magic Vine.

Seemingly sensing Song Jian’s approach, the Abyssal Magic Vine, which had been coiled into a ball, suddenly let out a sharp screech. It unfurled its body, and the sphere that was only ten meters in diameter unfolded into a giant monster covering hundreds of square meters, its claws outstretched threateningly toward Song Jian.

Song Jian jumped in surprise and involuntarily took two steps back. But when he saw the current state of the Abyssal Magic Vine clearly, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his face.

At this moment, the Abyssal Magic Vine appeared quite pitiable, with almost all of its vines broken and dark purple bodily fluid seeping from the wounds. Even its trunk-like main body was cracked open for several meters, as if slashed by a sharp blade, black Abyssal breath spurted continuously from the wound while the surrounding area bore the evidence of scorching and corroding.

The severed vines were slowly regenerating, but the long crack on its main body showed no sign of healing whatsoever.

“Are those three Legendary Realm powerhouses really that formidable that they could inflict such severe injuries on a peak Legendary Realm Abyssal Magic Vine?” Song Jian was secretly shocked and felt a bit relieved that he didn’t attempt to ambush those three Abyssal powerhouses. Had he been struck with that attack, he likely wouldn’t have had any chance to escape and would have been killed instantly.

Crack, crack~

Dozens more Purple Crystal ore fragments broke apart, rolling down from the rock walls. Fine roots slowly retracted back into the rocks, causing Song Jian’s heart to grow cold. It seemed that the Abyssal Magic Vine wasn’t showing its full strength; at the very least, its roots remained hidden.

Realizing this, Song Jian suddenly felt a growing threat encircling him. With a thought, hundreds of Spirit Swords floated around his body, each blade burning with dark red flames.

Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art, go!

With a soft shout, countless Spirit Swords tore through the sky, slashing towards the Abyssal Magic Vine. Meanwhile, several dozen black vine roots as thick as arms shot up from the ground around Song Jian, twining towards him.

Song Jian’s thought moved, and his body turned semi-transparent, slipping through the dozens of vine roots. He swung the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand and charged at the Abyssal Magic Vine.

The vines that could freely traverse solid rock couldn’t withstand a single strike from the Spirit Swords. Even as the Abyssal Magic Vine desperately defended itself, it was still hacked to pieces by the Spirit Swords. Before long, the ground was blanketed with a thick layer of broken vines, each segment only an inch or so long. Such vines could no longer pose any threat to Song Jian.

Underground, even more roots burrowed out, whipping towards Song Jian like long lashes. The roots of the Abyssal Magic Vine were tougher than the surface vines, but their attack power was far inferior. Against ordinary people, these dense roots might be somewhat effective, but they couldn’t breach Song Jian’s defenses, even if he stood still and allowed the roots to hit him.

The greatest use of these roots was to break through the hard rock walls and extract energy from the Purple Crystal ores.

Puff puff puff~

Vines fluttered through the air like rain falling to the ground, the dark red flames continuously burning them, but the effect was mediocre. There seemed to be a mysterious power within the vines resisting the erosion of the Red Lotus Karma Fire.

Swish~

Song Jian reached the main body of the Abyssal Magic Vine and savagely chopped forward with the Sky-breaking Sword, inflicting a wound over three feet long. A large amount of purple fluid sprayed everywhere, and the Abyssal Magic Vine emitted an angry hiss as countless vines smashed down towards Song Jian’s head.

Song Jian dodged with a swift movement as several more black roots shot up behind him, aiming directly at him.

Frowning slightly, Song Jian sidestepped the roots and gazed back at the Abyssal Magic Vine. At this point, the combat strength it displayed was less than that of a supreme-level boss. Could three early-stage Legendary Realm warriors from the Abyssal Human Clan really have caused it such severe damage? Doubts surged in Song Jian’s heart.
