I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1612 - Chapter 1612 Chapter 1613 Annihilation

Chapter 1612: Chapter 1613: Annihilation Chapter 1612: Chapter 1613: Annihilation The Bronze Puppet Beast gobbled up the blood of the giant boss beast, its wounds started to heal slowly, and the bronze shell regained its shiny, like-new appearance. At the same time, its body seemed to be swelling up, with strange, dark red lines emerging on its surface.

Roar~

With its mouth full of blood, the Bronze Puppet Beast let out a roar. Its strength surged from the early stages of the Legendary Realm to the mid-stage. The aura it emitted grew increasingly intense.

Zhao Yong’s gaze towards the Puppet Beast carried more wariness, but also a fleeting gleam of fiery greed at the bottom of his eyes.

Qian Fei was terrified. The look in the Bronze Puppet Beast’s eyes when it had lost control, still lingered in his mind, that bloodthirsty gaze that seemed eager to pounce on him and tear him to shreds, made Qian Fei’s bladder tighten, wanting to find a place to relieve himself immediately.

Upon seeing the Puppet Beast could actually level up, Qian Fei rejoiced for a moment but was then flooded with deep fear. The more powerful the Puppet Beast, the harder it was to control. The time it required to consume fresh blood was shortening, while the amount needed increased dramatically. Now, Qian Fei wasn’t even sure if a Gu Qing would satisfy it when the Bronze Puppet Beast needed blood next time.

After consuming a third of the giant boss beast’s blood, the Bronze Puppet Beast stopped. It wasn’t that it couldn’t eat any more, but the boss’s blood was gradually cooling and losing its vitality. Such blood, the Puppet Beast would not consume.

Having consumed enough blood, the Bronze Puppet Beast became obedient again and slowly walked over to Qian Fei, lying down on the ground, its head held up, looking quite well-behaved.

It was only after the Bronze Puppet Beast had left that Zhao Yong slowly walked over to the giant boss beast’s corpse to search carefully. In no time, he found a Bronze Token under the boss’s body.

Looking at the attributes of the token in his hand, Zhao Yong shook his head slightly and said softly to the others, “A fourth-level Authority Token!”

Hearing Zhao Yong’s words, everyone looked towards Gu Qing, whose complexion turned extremely ugly. After a moment of silence, he took the initiative to say, “I’ll keep watch outside the palace for my brothers and only hope that if you gain something after entering the Alchemy Palace, you can give me one or two pills to help me break through to the Legendary Realm.”

Gu Qing knew he couldn’t expect the same gains as the others. Now he just hoped the other four would make a great haul within the Alchemy Palace, so that something might trickle down to him.

“Hahaha, Brother Gu, you always have such a sense of humor. Brother Zhao already said that if there’s a gain, the spoils will be divided into five parts. You’ll get your share even if you don’t enter!” Qian Fei laughed heartily, while hugging Gu Qing’s neck and joking, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep your share for you until we come out. With me around, you’ll definitely not be at a loss.”

Gu Qing’s face grew even uglier, but he still managed to show an ugly smile towards Qian Fei.

Zhao Yong and the other two exchanged glances and smiled subtly without saying a word.

With the token, the four men headed towards the Alchemy Palace. The transparent shimmer on the surface of the Alchemy Palace rippled, concealing the figures of the four men within.

Song Jian looked at the fourth-level Authority Token in his inventory, hesitated for a long time, and ultimately decided not to enter the Alchemy Palace with the other four. He wanted to see if there would be even more worthwhile places in the secret realm to explore later on.

Just then, inside the Alchemy Palace, a sudden boom resounded, and the entire palace shuddered all at once, with its defensive barrier surfacing and shaking violently.

Within moments, countless bronze parts flew out from the Alchemy Palace, scattering on the ground. A ferocious bronze beast’s head rolled to a stop in front of Gu Qing, giving him quite a fright.

“This, isn’t this Brother Qian, Qian Fei’s Bronze Puppet Beast? How, how could this happen…” A look of sheer disbelief spread across Gu Qing’s face.

Roar~

A roar of a giant beast emanated from the Alchemy Palace. Overhead, the shadow of a Flame Giant materialized, its body wreathed in roaring flames. In its right claw, it held several figures who became visible between the gaps of its fingers. On closer inspection, they were none other than Zhao Yong and his three companions who had entered the Alchemy Palace earlier.

At this time, these four were not dead. They thrashed and struggled desperately within the grasp of the Flame Giant, letting out muffled cries for help, but unfortunately, it was all an illusion, and their screams were inaudible.

The Flame Giant seemed to be in high spirits, throwing back its head and laughing boisterously as the flames covering its body “whooshed,” soaring dozens of meters high.

Before long, the figures in the Flame Giant’s hand were roasted by the searing flames into mummified corpses, and finally disintegrated into ash, drifting down from between its fingers. Four translucent shadows floated out and were furiously sucked into the Giant’s mouth and chewed upon.

This scene terrified Gu Qing. His complexion changed drastically, and he retreated repeatedly. Had it not been for the scattered parts of the Puppet Beasts, he might have disbelieved what he had just witnessed. However, with the evidence of the Puppet Beast’s components right in front of him, he couldn’t help but believe Zhao Yong and Qian Fei, along with their companions, had perished inside the Alchemy Palace.

“No, no, this can’t be possible…” Gu Qing screamed in disbelief, yet he immediately turned and ran, wishing he had an extra pair of legs to put more distance between him and the Alchemy Palace.

“These four had considerable strength. Could it really be that they perished so easily?” Song Jian wondered silently as he looked towards the Alchemy Palace.

The Alchemy Palace, which previously appeared majestic and ancient, now seemed somewhat eerie in Song Jian’s eyes.

“This Flame Giant’s shadow seems to have only a Legendary Realm peak aura …” Song Jian stared at the shadow of the Flame Giant hovering above the Alchemy Palace, carefully gauging its presence.

After killing the four, the Flame Giant appeared quite pleased, laughing heartily before slowly fading into the void.

Hesitating only briefly, Song Jian resolutely headed towards the Alchemy Palace. In the world of games, the stronger the boss guarding a place, the more precious the treasures within. Four disciples with peak third-tier Combat Power, two of whom were comparable to warriors of the Legendary Realm, were now easily slain by the Flame Giant. All this told Song Jian that the Alchemy Palace must be hiding a rare treasure, which greatly peaked his curiosity.

With his Demi-God Level strength, he naturally did not concern himself with a boss of a Legendary Realm peak. Soon, holding a level four Authority Token, he disappeared into the transparent barrier of the Alchemy Palace.
