I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 830: Chapter 831: Breaking In_1

The golden seal described in detail the positions of the six Harpy Slaughterers to Song Jian, then shrank back into the shadows of the rocks. If one didn’t look closely, it would be very difficult to discern its voice.

Song Jian’s temporary quest had updated, becoming the task of slaying six Harpy Slaughterers, obtaining their Guardian Feathers, then killing the Harpy leader, obtaining the crown of the Harpy leader, and at the same time finding the Goblin’s goods;

After reviewing the quest details, Song Jian didn’t immediately go to look for the Harpy Slaughterers. Instead, he turned and continued to search the valley for Harpy Wanderers and Witches, Sacrificers, slaying them one by one, turning them into his own battle experience;

The Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision also became more proficient as Song Jian cast it time and again. Not only was the number of Spirit Swords approaching the maximum limit of twenty-four, but he was also able to target his attacks more accurately, avoiding situations where he intended to launch a group attack, but ended up stabbing all the swords into a single monster, or intended a single attack, but covered a seven to eight-meter area like a blanket.

In no time at all, wails of utter misery from the Harpies echoed throughout the mountain valley, causing the golden seal hidden in the rock’s shadow to become frightened;

“I feel like this divine favored one harbors even more intense hatred for the Harpies than I do!” The golden seal muttered under its breath, suddenly feeling an inexplicable fear towards Song Jian;

At this moment, in a cave at Eagle Falcon Cliff, several players from the Pantheon were sitting on the ground eating and drinking to recover. Next to them, the corpses of two level forty-five Hawks lay on the ground, their flesh being slowly consumed by transparent flames that kept rising;

“Boss, you don’t think something’s happened to Yong Ge and the others, do you?” a player asked with some concern;

Zeus glanced at him and snorted coldly, “What can happen? It’s not like we asked them to fight these Hawks head-on. If they can’t fight, can’t they run for their lives?”

The player who had spoken immediately shrunk his neck and said no more;

Climbing Eagle Falcon Cliff was no easy task. Get too close, and it would attract the enmity of the Hawks. Attract one Hawk’s enmity, and all the monsters on the entire cliff would be alerted;

Zeus had no choice but to have a few of the faster players lure the Hawks away for a distance before leading the others into a cave;

What they didn’t expect was that two Hawks had not left the cave. Two level forty-five Hawks immediately caused panic among the group of players who were only in their thirties.

Fortunately, the seven or eight people that Zeus left behind were some of the stronger members of the battle alliance. Although the level forty-five monsters were troublesome, they eventually managed to take down the two creatures;

“Hey, these monsters give pretty high experience, I got 4% more experience!” a player said jubilantly;

“The dropped loot isn’t bad either, two monsters dropped a level forty blue piece of gear. It’s too high-level to use right away, we’ll have to wait a while!”

“Didn’t they say there were pet eggs in these caves, did you guys see any?”

“No, there’s just this nest made of weeds, we didn’t find anything. But the cave is quite deep, maybe they’re further inside?”

After recovering, several players were attracted by the passage that extended behind the cave;

“Boss, none of us have found a trace of Song Jian. What do you think, could he have gone through to the other side?” one of the players pointed at the passage behind the cave and whispered;

“Let’s go and have a look!” Zeus hesitated for a moment, nodded, and led the way into the low passage;

Before long, several members of the Pantheon had crawled through the passage and arrived on the cliff of the valley; facing the valley before them, they exchanged looks of surprise. Like Song Jian, they had never expected to find such a vast expanse of valley hiding behind Eagle Falcon Cliff.

“This place is like a paradise. Should we explore it? We might find treasure!” one of the players said excitedly;

“Hey, look over there, that seems to be the corpse of one of the monsters here. By the looks of it, someone got here before us and has been farming the monsters!” said another player curiously, pointing at the half-burned corpse of a monster on the cliffside below;

“It must be Song Jian. He’s gotten into this valley ahead of us. Boss, these corpses must be his handiwork…”

“Let’s take it slow and not alarm him. He is not to be underestimated; he can actually solo farm level 42 monsters here. Unless we ambush him, I doubt we’d stand a chance!”

“Let’s go down and check it out, following these corpses!” A fierce light flashed in Zeus’s eyes as he spoke;

He had already received intelligence; after Song Jian became the lord of the City of Hope, he obtained a City Lord seal. If they could kill him, the seal would drop, and anyone who got their hands on it could easily take control of the City of Hope;

Meanwhile, Song Jian relentlessly slaughtered Witch-winged Harpies deep in the valley. These level 40-plus monsters not only provided a lot of combat experience but also dropped items of very high quality;

In just a short while, Song Jian’s inventory was filled with over a dozen green-quality level 40 equipment and seven or eight blue-quality level 40 items;

Besides the equipment, the Harpies also dropped a good amount of materials. Among them, over twenty light feathers for mages, which could sell for fifteen hundred Doomsday Coins each at the auction house. These materials alone amounted to a considerable income;

Because the Black Dragon was too noticeable, Song Jian did not summon it, but he did release his Stone Golem, Gulu. Having bought a lot of the food that earth elementals prefer from the pet store, Gulu’s affinity with him had now reached ninety-one points, which was the limit that could be achieved with pet store food. Raising it further would not be easy;

With the help of earth elemental Gulu, Song Jian hunted the Harpies even more quickly, and his combat experience had risen to 38th level, 87%.

He didn’t know how many Harpies he had killed, but Song Jian slowly made his way to the depths of the valley, where gradually, signs of man-made structures began to appear;

There were lookout posts made of wood and some low wooden huts, even some rudimentary traps, which instantly put Song Jian on high alert;

Soon, a level 45 elite BOSS appeared before Song Jian. This Witch-winged Harpy was larger than the average Harpy marauder, dressed in simple leather armor, wielding a long sword, and looked much more ferocious than the Harpy marauders. Its eyes emitted a faint crimson glow, and it exuded a terrifying aura;

“Harpy slayer? Damn, that little dwarf tricked me again. The Harpy slayer is actually an elite BOSS!” Song Jian cursed to himself in frustration;
