I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 792: Chapter 793: Escape

A spurt of fresh blood shot out, and Song Jian felt as if he had been struck on the shoulder by a heavy hammer. He groaned and began to plummet to the ground;

When he hit the ground, Song Jian discovered that the attack had not only pierced through his shoulder, but also left a fist-sized hole in the steel wings behind him;

A damage number of over eight hundred floated above his head, which made Song Jian astonished. He knew that he was currently wearing a Dark Gold Quality suit, and his defense bonus from the equipment alone was higher than that of an ordinary Sword and Shield Warrior. On top of that, he possessed first-tier Combat Power, and his stats had increased by a large margin. If an average player with ordinary equipment had taken such a hit, they would have been instantly killed;

Seeing the over eight hundred points of damage floating above Song Jian’s head, Burn’s eyebrows furrowed, and a realization soon came to him after he quickly calculated the numbers in his heart;

“How is it possible for his defense to be so strong?!” Burn hesitated slightly in his heart, but he still rushed towards Song Jian’s direction;

Seeing Song Jian being attacked, Angel Kekaul raised his sword and was about to charge at Burn, but he was stopped by Song Jian;

...

“Keep hovering in midair and observe the situation!” Song Jian ordered.

Kekaul was stunned, as thousands of players were rushing towards Song Jian, and a large group of Abyss demons were chasing him from behind. Caught in a pincer attack, Kekaul didn’t know what else to observe – was now not the time to escape?

“Human, I will not leave you behind and run away on my own!” There was a hint of gratitude on Kekaul’s face, as he thought Song Jian was trying to create an opportunity for him to escape. After all, the only way to get away now was to take to the air under this kind of encirclement;

Song Jian rolled his eyes and didn’t bother to deal with this guy who seemed to have become somewhat rigid-headed after being imprisoned for hundreds of years;

Soul Wander! @@novelbin@@

Song Jian’s figure instantly turned transparent, and he ran diagonally towards where the Abyss players were. Instead of rushing into the crowd of players, he avoided them at an angle.

Burn frowned. Song Jian had fallen from the sky, but he was the only one who could see that since the distance was too far and there were too few people with such a far sight. Now, it seemed that no one other than him had noticed Song Jian’s whereabouts.

But after falling, Song Jian seemed to have used some sort of stealth technique and had disappeared. Even Burn’s ultra-far vision couldn’t find his target.

“Hmph, do you think you can escape by stealth? It’s useless! Watch me break your hidden state!” Burn snorted coldly: “Eye of Defeating Evil!”

Soon, a black Abyssal aura quickly emerged around his eye sockets, looking as if numerous tiny tentacles were extending from his eyes and crawling towards his cheeks;

“Huh, what’s that up ahead?” Burn did not find Song Jian, as his speed was too fast, and even the Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist would find it difficult to spot him under his transparent state, let alone Burn who only had the strength of a level 35 elite BOSS.

However, with the help of his ultra-far sight and the skill bonus of the Eye of Defeating Evil, Burn discovered a tide-like swarm of demon monsters rushing towards him from ahead. These monsters were all level 35 to 40 elite BOSSes, with thousands of them covering the area like a dark mass.

Burn was petrified on the spot, trembling all over. After a moment, he let out a sharp scream and turned to flee towards the entrance of Demon Slayer Canyon.

“Hey, look at that legendary Bounty Hunter. What’s wrong with him? It’s like he’s seen a ghost!” a player who saw Burn running away with a terrified face, asked curiously;

Actually, many players hadn’t paid all their attention to chasing Song Jian. Instead, a significant number of them were watching Abyss Gunner Burn. This legendary Bounty Hunter often issued some tasks with generous rewards, but he didn’t stay in one place and was difficult to encounter as he often wandered around different areas.

The players behind Burn saw him running towards them with a frightened face, and they all showed delighted expressions as they surrounded him;

“Honorable Abyss Gunner, is there anything I can help you with?” An Abyss player, whose body was covered in dark green scales, said to Burn with a full-faced smile;

“Honorable Bounty Hunter, this is a gift I offer you, hoping to gain your friendship;” An Abyss player shouted loudly while holding up a blue-quality ring.

Presenting items to an NPC could gain their friendship. The higher the value of the items, the more favorable the NPC would be. In the player’s view, the value of a blue-quality ring was already very high. Even the rewards for Burn’s tasks were mostly blue-quality items;

However, the player was employing a long-term plan, not caring about the gain or loss of one or two items. As long as he could get Burn’s favor and inherit his profession, it would be a profitable exchange no matter how many items he offered.

“Mr. Burn, I’m…”

“Hello, Mr. Burn, can I ask…”

…

Players used various means to try and gain Burn’s tasks, but he looked at the crowd of Abyss players surrounding him, his forehead bulging with veins and his face full of anger.

“Get the hell out of my way! Don’t block me!” Burn grabbed an Abyss player in front of him and threw him away furiously;

System: Your behavior has disgusted the Abyss Gunner Burn, and your favorability with him has decreased by 10 points;

The Abyss players surrounding Burn all received this message at almost the same time and were left dumbfounded;

“Move away!” Burn was extremely anxious at this moment, as every second he was delayed reduced his chances of escape. However, he couldn’t say anything, because he needed these guys to block the demons behind him and buy him time to escape;

System: Your behavior has disgusted the Abyss Gunner Burn, and your favorability with him has decreased by 20 points;

Every few seconds, the system sent out a message, causing the Abyss players surrounding Burn to panic and start retreating to the back one after the other;

They didn’t know why Burn was so angry. Could it be because there were too many people?

Burn pushed away the players in front of him and quickly ran towards the entrance of Demon Slayer Canyon;

At that moment, the leading Abyss players suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, as if there was an earthquake;

“What’s going on?” The searching players looked at each other in confusion. Just then, a player looked forward with a terrified face and exclaimed, “Look at that! What is that?”

In the dim canyon, a large mass of shadows appeared ahead, charging towards the group of Abyss players like a tidal wave;
