I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: There’s a BOSS Here

Translator: 549690339

The trio escaped from the neighborhood in embarrassment, all riddled with wounds. Behind them, the neighborhood seemed to have become a monster’s lair, echoing with ear-splitting roars.

However, those monsters, after threatening the trio with bared teeth and brandished claws as they left the perimeter of the neighborhood, retreated back to their original spots, reverting back to quiet plants.

Qi Yun started casting Healing Skill to treat the wounds of the trio. Ma Jiang’s face was grim; the three of them had managed to escape thanks to his use of two precious disposable items. These were supposed to be trump cards for a turnaround, yet they were wasted here. Most importantly, they completely lost track of Dr. Ebsiting.

“What should we do now, Captain?” Qi Yun asked cautiously.

“Let’s directly hunt down that Demigod!” Ma Jiang gritted his teeth.

This Doomsday City was fraught with dangers, and half of the monsters that pursued them in the residential area were Level 10 Elite Bosses, something that would never occur near the 101 Gathering Area.

No wonder other Hunt and Kill Squads had declined as soon as they heard about a mission in Doomsday City. Only he, swayed by the rich rewards, had accepted the mission. Now, however, Ma Jiang felt some regret.

“Once we kill the Demigod, we leave immediately!” Ma Jiang declared.

Clearly, he had given up on pursuing Dr. Ebsiting any further, not wanting to stay in this city for even one more second.

When Song Jian killed those 101 Gathering Area militia, his relation with the 101 Gathering Area had deteriorated to outright hostility. Moreover, his name had been posted on the top of the bounty list ever since. Accepting the mission would allow them to check his specific location every half hour.

“That Demigod is still in the Level 5 Monster Zone!” Qi Yun readout from his wrist communicator.

Ma Jiang nodded, and the three moved towards the Manor Castle where Song Jian resided. They didn’t know how they would feel when they saw a defensively complete Level 2 Manor Castle. But now, they were convinced that Song Jian had not gotten much stronger during this time. Otherwise, why would he still be in a Level 5 Monster Zone?

At this moment, Song Jian was fretting over the mainline mission. Although his Immortal Sword Body was one of the lineage skills of the Swordsman Immortal profession, it wasn’t a sword technique and hence wasn’t counted in the mainline mission.

After returning to the Manor, Song Jian had been stationing near the radio, hoping to buy some sword technique skills. However, after a while, he found that the number of buy offers was much more than sell offers. Even when a skill was occasionally available, it was like a meaty bone being fought over by a pack of rabid dogs.

When Song Jian watched helplessly as a skill of ordinary quality was bidden up to over three thousand Doomsday Coins, he could only silently take out some of his unused equipment for auction.

His 101 Tactical Helmet, the Guardian’s Sword, bat-winged zombie summoning card, vampiric scroll, attack scroll; all items which were not quite useful to him were sold over the radio.

If he weren’t under the Level 15 restriction, Song Jian would have wanted to sell his Zombie Leader Armor as well. However, selling the Zombie Leader Armor meant also having to sell the gauntlet. A complete set of green equipment would sell for multiples of an incomplete set.

His bag turned out to have quite a few empty slots, and his Doomsday Coins also reached over five thousand. At least he was no longer impoverished. But he hadn’t yet managed to purchase a sword technique, his initial objective.

“Forget it. Even if a sword technique does appear, with my current wealth, I can’t compete with this crowd. Better to go out and kill monsters and gaining from their loot…” song Jian frustratedly turned off the radio, ready to leave the Manor and hunt Level 15 monsters.

Just then, he suddenly heard a dragon’s youthful growl from the outside of his Manor. Looking from his window, he saw a group of players wielding weapons, chasing a young Black Dragon.

“Boss, Boss, a Level 8 Elite Boss! It’s a dragon; it’ll definitely drop good stuff!” A Level 10 player holding a submachine gun was full of excitement, leading at the front.

Seven or eight level 10 players also closely followed behind him, ready to surround and kill the young Black Dragon.

Song Jian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry watching the young Black Dragon. The little guy had no self-awareness of being hunted and was playing like it was just a game. Fliying slowly, crying occasionally, or even directly turning around to rush into the crowd of players and attack them.

Fortunately, the young Black Dragon was only treating this as a game and had no intention to kill. Otherwise, at least three or four of this group would have already died.

As a pet, the young Black Dragon didn’t abide by the monster rule that “whoever has higher damage gets attacked.” Even though it might seem “mentally handicapped” near Song Jian, when it faces other creatures, its cunning or, as you might say, wisdom that has been inherited from the Dragon Clan, naturally reveals itself.

“Damn it, this Boss’s attack is so high. Quickly, throw another herb to grab its attention!” A Mage player, unable to withstand the young Black Dragon’s attack, shouted.

“I’m telling you, I’ve been the only one taking things out all this while. Are you guys planning to make a fortune without spending a dime?” A young player protested unsatisfiedly. The Black Dragon had appeared because it was attracted by the herbs he was carrying.

If it wasn’t for him taking out a herb every now and then, teasing the Boss, it would have probably escaped long ago.

But him being the only one to make a contribution left the Herbalist career player somewhat unsatisfied. Along the way, the consumed herbs were worth dozens of Doomsday Coins.

“Don’t be stingy; once we kill this boss and it drops items, if it suits your profession, you get first pick!” The player in the front with a submachine gun, shooting at the young Black Dragon, shouted.

“Yes, yes, if there’s suitable equipment, you get first pick!” The other players also shouted.

In truth, among the group, he was the only Herbalist, so even if it dropped Herbalist profession equipment, other players couldn’t use it.

Seeing the others’ responses, the Herbalist hesitated for a moment. Then, from his bag, he took a red herb and threw it towards the young Black Dragon.

The young Black Dragon who was attacking gave up the nearly dead Mage when it smelled the fragrance of the herb. It turned around, bit the herb and swallowed it, giving a pleasant dragon’s growl.

“Keep going, keep going. It’s vitality points have dropped below half. Push harder; victory is at hand!”

“Haha, a Level 8 Elite Boss! It’ll definitely drop great stuff!”

“I’ve seen a Level 5 Elite Boss before; it was so fierce that 1 almost couldn’t run away. 1 can’t believe we’re hunting a Level 8 Elite Boss today…”

After watching for a while, Song Jian finally understood why the young Black Dragon was fooling around with this crowd: it was for the herbs.

“This rascal!” Song Jian was both amused and annoyed. Speaking about herbs, he had gathered quite a bit from the Kantelu Ruins. Even after creating some Weakness Potion and Fire Lizard Medicine, he still had a lot left over.

With a thought, a Hexagram Star summoning array emerged under the young Black Dragon. The array shone brightly, enveloping the entire young Black Dragon.

In the blink of an eye, the young Black Dragon had disappeared. The group of players looked at each other in bewilderment, momentarily dumbstruck.
