I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 689: Chapter 689: Entering the Undead Tower

Once free from the restraint of the Black Warrior, these common monsters were no match for Song Jian. And within no time, all the remaining Skeleton Warriors had turned into a pile of shattered bones.

After collecting the materials dropped by the Skeleton Warriors, Song Jian took out an Advanced Healing Potion from his bag and drank it, slowly restoring his Vitality Points. At this time, the limping Black Warrior was making its way towards him, its bone knife radiating a striking red glow.

Song Jian slightly furrowed his brows. The Black Warrior in front of him strangely seemed devoid of intelligence, acting like a mere killing machine without any regard for its own safety.

“Superior-level humanoid creatures wouldn’t act like this…” Song Jian thought to himself. However, facing the severely wounded Black Warrior, he swung his long sword, depleting its last bit of Vitality Points.

“It only dropped a white quality material?” Song Jian picked up the item dropped by the Black Warrior, and upon inspecting it, he couldn’t help but shake his head, disappointment evident on his face.

This was a level thirty-five elite BOSS with first-order combat power, and it didn’t even drop equipment, only dropping a white quality material. It was even worse than the previous low-level monsters, a disgrace to its BOSS title.

The chance of a BOSS dropping a white quality item was about the same as a low-level monster dropping a silver or higher quality item. Unexpectedly, Song Jian had encountered such an occurrence here.

At this time, the doors of the black tower swung wide open, like a beast’s wide-open mouth, waiting to swallow its prey.

“Are you inviting me in?” Song Jian looked at the open door of the black tower, a smile appearing on his face as he walked towards it without hesitation.

…

At the Transmission Array in the Valley of the Undead, the players of the City of Hope Alliance were somewhat disheartened.

“I feel like we are a burden…” Li Ke’er softly mumbled.

“Our leader can resist the plague fog here, but we can’t. There’s no way, we can only wait here…”

“What if our leader encounters a monster inside? The monsters here are all above level thirty!”

“If the monster our leader encounters is something he can’t handle, do you think we could handle it with a few more players?”

“…We can’t!”

Just when everyone was feeling downcast, the Transmission Array in the Valley of the Undead suddenly lit up. The players of the City of Hope Alliance were immediately put on alert, and they all drew their weapons.

In a short while, several figures emerged from the Transmission Array.

…

Song Jian stepped into the black tower, and the door behind him closed with a rumbling sound. The inside of the tower was pitch black.

System: You have entered the territory of Abyssal Wizard Saramo. In this Undead Tower, your attributes are suppressed, weakening by 10%.

“Abyssal Wizard? As expected, another abyssal creature’s invasion. They are everywhere, lingering like ghosts!” Song Jian muttered with a cold snort.

An Abyssal Wizard who can summon undead creatures, the secret must lie within this Undead Tower.

A 10% attribute degradation was not much of a concern for Song Jian now, as it actually allowed him to better control his power;

Bang~

With a light sound, green firelight burnt up on the walls around him every few meters apart.

“Human, this is not a place where you should tread!” rasped a voice, “As punishment, I will leave your body here. I believe your corpse should suffice to make a Death Knight!”

The Death Knight, the only creature among the undead capable of overkill, has an inherent attribute – “Fatal Strike” which can inflict tenfold damage. However, this passive effect has a rather low occurrence rate.

As the raspy voice echoed again, Song Jian noticed pairs of crimson eyes lighting up, and behemothic wolves, exuding a dark aura, stepped out from the shadows.

“Abyssal Demon Wolves, each a level-thirty elite BOSS with first-tier combat power?” Song Jian blinked in surprise, realizing that he was surrounded by nine such massive black wolves.

“Kill him but try to keep his body intact. The more complete his body is, the stronger the Death Knight that can be made of it!”

At Saramo’s command, the nine gigantic black wolves growled and lunged at Song Jian-

“You think these big dogs can kill me? Isn’t that wishful thinking?” Song Jian sneered, taking out a few rocks emitting milky white light from his bag, and hurled them around.

Thud! Thud! Thud~

A few crashing sounds, and a dense white fog suddenly surged around Song Jian, enveloping him and the black wolves, spreading through the entire hall on the first floor of the Undead Tower.

This white fog also had the effect of suppressing senses, Saramo found that he had unexpectedly lost contact with the nine Abyssal Demon Wolves and could no longer control them.

“What the hell is this!” Saramo, standing at the top of the Undead Tower, watched the white mist on his surveillance monitor. His face darkened with anger.

In the center of the seventh-floor hall of the Undead Tower, there was a stone platform, above which hovered a black crystal over a meter high. Saramo stood in front of this crystal, monitoring Song Jian’s every move. But now, all he could see was the white mist rolling into the hall on the first floor.

Mist Shadow Sword Array!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This was a primary sword formation that Song Jian had mastered, and it proved highly effective against this sudden onslaught and encirclement.

The Mist Shadow Sword Array not only shields against external sensory probes, but it can also severely suppress all investigative abilities of enemies trapped within the formation. The Abyssal Demon Wolves, despite their sharp vision and keen senses, were utterly blinded. They couldn’t even detect their comrades who were only a foot away.

However, Song Jian, who was inside the sword array, faced no such impediments.

Thump!

A rock the size of a human head suddenly hit an Abyssal Demon Wolf. The creature crashed against the hard wall behind it, letting out a dreadful scream-

At that moment, Song Jian had summoned his rock golem to hide and launch ranged attacks on these bewildered Abyssal Demon Wolves. He himself charged at the wolf that was closest to him.

In a one-on-one situation, these Abyssal Demon Wolves were not his match. The Mist Shadow Sword Array not only concealed the sounds made by these wolves, but it also blocked all noise. The other wolves couldn’t hear their companions’ roars and screams.

An Abyssal Demon Wolf, riled up in the white mist, suddenly ran into a sharp Sword Qi, which directly cut off one of its ears. As it roared and clawed in the direction of the Sword Qi, it saw nothing.

Thus, Song Jian, like an assassin, kept darting in and out among the nine Abyssal Demon Wolves. After each successive hit, he immediately disappeared into the white fog, leaving the beasts no trail to follow.

The vitality of the nine Abyssal Demon Wolves steadily dropped, while Song Jian’s remained at maximum.

Thump!

Another stone hit an Abyssal Demon Wolf’s head, triggering a stunning effect. As it was immobilized, Song Jian rushed out of the fog and directly removed a third of its vitality with a series of sword techniques. Just when it was about to snap out of the stun, he vanished back into the fog.
