I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1419 - Chapter 1419 Chapter 1421 Paso Fruit Tree

Chapter 1419: Chapter 1421: Paso Fruit Tree Chapter 1419: Chapter 1421: Paso Fruit Tree Song Jian could clearly feel that this area was suppressed by the Power of Law, making it impossible for him to fly too high. He could only fly at an altitude of a dozen meters above the ground, and the area below was constantly emitting hot waves. Even at that height, he still felt the heat was unbearable!

“This must already be over five hundred degrees, an ordinary person simply couldn’t step into this area…” A bitter smile surfaced on Song Jian’s face.

The Power of Law affected Song Jian’s defense and resistance, and at that moment, he felt as if he were inside a huge steamer, constantly suffering from the torment of hot steam.

Boom~

A soft sound came from afar. From the black soil, suddenly a flame pillar shot up, over a dozen meters high, instantly piercing the darkness. That fleeting pillar of fire made Song Jian’s mental alarm bells ring loudly, sensing a great threat!

“If hit by a fire pillar, even if not killed instantly, I’d probably be severely injured and enter a critical state, right?” Song Jian’s heart trembled, and he couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly saw a figure running ahead, continuously leaping as if dodging something.

“What exactly does this little creature want to do and where does it want to go?” Song Jian glanced back at the distant Stone Forest, then at the small Goliath Dragonkin ahead that kept leaping and running. Clenching his teeth, he continued to follow.

Boom!

Another fire pillar, even more intense than the previous one, blasted out less than five meters from Song Jian. The scorching breath curled and dried the tips of his hair, and his cheeks also felt a burning pain.

“Damn it, how does that little guy predict the timing of the fire pillar eruptions…” Song Jian watched the small Goliath Dragonkin darting left and right, even leaping backward. Its movements were agile and precise, dodging the eruptions of fire pillar after pillar, whereas he himself was nearly turned into jerky, and he couldn’t help but curse quietly.

In reality, the reason why the small Goliath Dragonkin was able to predict so accurately was because it had been to this place more than once. Dozens, even hundreds of attempts had long imprinted the location of each fire pillar eruption in its mind. Additionally, each time a fire pillar erupted, there would be a slight tremor on the ground. This was also why it ran with all four limbs touching the ground.

It was because of these reasons the small Goliath Dragonkin now seemed to possess divine assistance, dodging the fire pillar eruptions time after time.

Song Jian staggered forward in flight, focusing all his attention on the fire pillar eruptions below. Fortunately, he was at a distance from the ground, and not every fire pillar reached a height of a dozen meters. Thus, he made it through without mishap. At the cost of losing over five thousand Vitality Points, he finally managed to keep up with the pace of the small Goliath Dragonkin.

Soon, Song Jian saw that the small Goliath Dragonkin had run to a reddish small tree and knelt down before it, quietly chanting something.

There, the little creature, knees on the reddish soil, hands pressed together, devoutly kowtowed to the small tree, which stood only a little over five meters tall, endlessly muttering, while apparently burying something at the roots of the tree.

“Is this… Ancient Elvish?” Song Jian suddenly realized that the chant from the small Goliath Dragonkin’s mouth was identical to what the Elf in the Life Forest had said, all in Ancient Elvish.

As the small Goliath Dragonkin continued chanting, Song Jian’s ears began to understand the meaning of a syllable or two from the previously incomprehensible Ancient Elvish, and his skill in the Ancient Elvish language was gradually improving as well.

While Song Jian was immersed in the joy of the increased proficiency in Ancient Elvish, his nose suddenly caught a whiff of a faint fragrance. It was barely there, extremely delicate, yet seemed to reach the depths of one’s heart, even into the mind and soul.

Opening his eyes and looking forward, Song Jian saw a dark red sapling suddenly bloom with three emerald-green flowers. Each of these three flowers was the size of a washbasin, with petals that were translucent and gleaming, twinkling like jade.

The fragrance that Song Jian smelled came from these three emerald-green flowers.

With the flowers in full blossom, the small dragon-like lizard seemed very excited, its face brimming with joy, continuously chanting something in its mouth. This time, however, it wasn’t in the ancient Elf language, but something else that Song Jian couldn’t understand.

The ancient Elf language, because Song Jian had already learned the Elf language, had some connection to it, so he could understand when others spoke it. But the language that the small dragon-like lizard was chanting had no connection to any language Song Jian knew, preventing him from initiating the learning process.

However, after the small dragon-like lizard murmured for a while, it began to pray again in the ancient Elf language.

“Great… Power of Law… grant… strength…”

Song Jian could barely make out a few of the words spoken and had no clue what the creature was praying for, but it was evident that since the mysterious sapling had bloomed, the small dragon-like lizard started to seem tense.

Roar, roar, roar~

Suddenly, a sound akin to dragon roars came from afar. As the sound echoed, Song Jian saw that the small dragon-like lizard shuddered, becoming more frantic, and the speed of its chanting prayer increased.

Before long, Song Jian saw the small dragon-like lizard use its sharp claws to cut open its own wrist, allowing fresh blood to flow onto the tree roots of the small tree.

After a while, the small dragon-like lizard began to wobble slightly, its blood flowing like water from a tap.

“It’s using its own blood to water the tree, it seems to be using it to ripen the fruits of the tree?” Song Jian’s mind flashed, suddenly recalling the words of the emerald giant python.

“This tree is the Paso Fruit Tree, and the fruits it bears are supreme treasures to me!” Song Jian immediately became excited and couldn’t help but slowly approach the Paso Fruit Tree.

The small dragon-like lizard, now weakened, knelt under the Paso Fruit Tree, looking expectantly at the three emerald-green flowers.

It could be seen that under the nourishment of the blood, the flowers withered and curled at a visible speed, and a dark red fruit slowly grew forth.

This fruit, originally the size of a small mass, eventually grew to the size of a fist while a faint hint of flame appeared on the surface of these three fruits!

Just then, Song Jian saw that numerous dark figures appeared in the distance, these figures running recklessly over the scorching land. Some were hit by pillars of fire erupting from the ground, sent flying and severely injured. Yet, they showed no fear and desperately raced towards the Paso Fruit Tree.

“Dragon-like lizard people, all of them dragon-like lizard Bosses. They’ve sensed that the Paso Fruit Tree is bearing fruit and are now coming to fight for it!” Song Jian thought to himself. Glancing at the fruit the Paso Fruit Tree had produced, he gritted his teeth and flew straight toward it.
