I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 778: Chapter 778 Wolf Spider Demon

The last known location of Song Jian was in the Demon Slayer Canyon. After the video release, it was no secret anymore. However, knowing that Song Jian was in the Canyon, many people gave up trying to kill him.

The Demon Slayer Canyon was a place infested with level thirty-five monsters. If one did not have the strength to fight off the elite bosses there, pursuing Song Jian was akin to seeking death.

Those who dared to enter the Demon Slayer Canyon were powerful and confident. After all, the reward of two million Doomsday Coins wasn’t so easy to get hold of.

Song Jian was now walking through a deep passage, heading towards the core of the Broken Stone Mountain. After roughly a hundred meters, his journey was met by a vast clearing with a deserted temple right before his eyes.

Calling it a temple would be an overstatement. It was more like rubble, with fragmented rocks strewn all over. Signs of a battle were evident everywhere, and it seemed like a war had leveled everything here.

Just then, a massive monster covering Song Jian’s path appeared. The creature was humanoid above the waist and its lower part resembled a giant spider, with six sturdy legs. It held a long spear in its hand and emanated an intense demonic aura.

“Wolf Spider Demon, Elite Boss, Level Forty, Vitality Points: 9000/9000”

“Another level forty elite boss. Does this mean all the monsters here are level forty elite bosses?” Song Jian’s eyebrows furrowed as he began analyzing in his mind.

Song Jian had once encountered an area entirely filled with elite bosses and had even farmed there for several days when constructing the Magic Crystal Railgun, which helped him gather lots of valuable materials.

The Wolf Spider Demon did not have high vitality, but it obviously had other potent attributes: either a powerful attack, exceptional defence, or an attack with additional effects.

The stone man Gulu was asleep due to exhaustion, and the terrain was unfit for the Black Dragon. Hence, Song Jian had to fight these monsters blocking his path all alone.

Song Jian raised the Skeleton Crossbow and fired it at the Wolf Spider Demon.

Thud, thud, thud~

After three consecutive shots, the fire-lit crossbow bolts struck the Wolf Spider Demon. However, they failed to penetrate its defense and only inflicted seven to eight points of damage each.

Using weapons other than the longsword reduced damage by 80%. So even with Song Jian’s high attack power, the output damage would be limited. Using the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword would create a bigger ruckus and might attract other monsters. Dealing with an array of bosses would be a headache for Song Jian.

Although the skeleton crossbow inflicted low damage, the noise it made was also minimal. It successfully lured the monster, and the Wolf Spider Demon immediately charged at Song Jian after being hit.

He put away the crossbow and produced an abyss-infused black book in his hand. At the same time, a three-sided bone shield appeared around him, slowly revolving.

Abyss Intimidation!

The Wolf Spider Demon trembled and came to a sudden halt, but it woke up from the stun in less than two seconds and lunged at Song Jian with a roar.

Song Jian shook his head. Normally, Abyss Intimidation could stun for around three seconds. Coupled with the effect of an epic necklace, the stun could last nearly four seconds. But this time, the boss only got stunned for less than two seconds, implying its strong resistance to stun effects.

As the Abyss Intimidation spell continued, the Wolf Spider Demon darted to Song Jian’s side. The demon thrust its spear towards his chest.

Bang!

One of the bone shields collided with the spear creating a breaking sound near Song Jian’s ear. All three bone shields cracked, each with a more than foot-long gap.@@novelbin@@

“Such high damage!” Song Jian was shocked, realizing that his Bone Shield may not be able to handle the monster’s attacks for ten seconds.

Just as expected, the Bone Shield lasted just over five seconds before it completely shattered. Several shards of bone pierced the Wolf Spider Demon, subtracting over 2,000 Vitality Points from it;

After taking the damage, the Wolf Spider Demon was instantly enraged. It swung its spear in a wide sweep. Song Jian had no time to dodge and was directly sent flying by the spear, a damage figure of over 300 points floating above his head;

System: Abyss Intimidation skill failed!

After the Wolf Spider Demon sent Song Jian flying, a real damage number of 1,000 suddenly appeared above its head. Its face showed a look of terror and it started to run around chaotically;

This was the special effect of the Abyss Intimidation skill. “If the cast fails, it will cause 1,000 points of real damage to the target, and inflict fear for 5 seconds”!

Because of the epic necklace, this fear time was extended to six and a half seconds;

Song Jian stood up, and with a thought, four long swords appeared on both sides of his body. With a wave of his right hand, the four swords flew like meteors towards the Wolf Spider Demon that was running around chaotically;

The quad sword technique was simultaneously unleashed, the sword light dazzling, the Wolf Spider Demon’s body was marked with sword wounds, blood splashed out;

The period of fear ended, and the Vitality Points of the Wolf Spider Demon had reduced to a third. However, it showed no signs of fleeing. Instead, it quickly approached Song Jian, using its six spider legs. Then, a gap split open from its abdomen, and a foul-smelling venom was shot out at Song Jian;

With a change in Song Jian’s face, he hastily dodged to the side, but his left shoulder was still hit by the venom, emitting a sizzling corrosive sound. The durability of the shoulder protection of the Ant Emperor Ancestor Set had directly dropped by a dozen points;

At the same time, a gray aura began to spread from the corroded part of the shoulder, and in a short while, Song Jian was completely covered in a layer of gray aura;

System: You are hit by the venom of the Wolf Spider Demon BOSS, defense reduced by 30%, movement speed decreased by 15%, paralysis effect triggered every 5 seconds;

Looking at the status bar, Song Jian discovered a poisoning status that would last for 30 seconds;

“Dammit, this means I will be paralyzed six times!” Song Jian’s face instantly turned pale;

Before he could react, the Wolf Spider Demon surprisingly threw its spear directly at him, and Song Jian subconsciously activated the bloody shield skill from the Fire God Ring;

Boom!

The newly arisen red shield was directly pierced by the spear, shattering like glass. A healing number of 500 appeared above Song Jian’s head, simultaneously a scorching heat wave emanated from his body, dispersing in all directions.

The heatwave hit the rushing Wolf Spider Demon, a real damage of 500 points floated up from its head, and its body violently shivered, falling into a trembling state;

Song Jian pulled the spear out of his chest and threw it aside, looking at the trembling Wolf Spider Demon, a fierce look appeared in his eyes;

Flash Thunder Strike, kill!

The four long swords glowed with electricity, the Sword Qi slashed at the Wolf Spider Demon, the trembling Wolf Spider Demon had no power to counterattack, it could only endure the twelve electric-infused Sword Qi attacks with only its body. Damage numbers exceeding five hundred floated above its head.

Before it could recover from its trembling state, the twelve Flash Thunder Strikes had taken all of its remaining Vitality Points. The Wolf Spider Demon’s eyes were filled with unwillingness and fury as its body heavily fell to the ground;
