I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: The Vegetarian Dragon

Translator: 549690339

Although this group of people has reached level 10, they haven’t experienced much of what the game has to offer and don’t understand what summoned pets look like. They thought the scene they just witnessed was the Black Dragon hatchling casting some magic.

“Is that… teleportation?”

“No, more like a translocation!”

“Surely there’s a distance limit, right? It just vanished. If bosses can do this too, how are we supposed to play?”

“Let’s look around; it could be nearby…”

“Scour the area. Shout when you find it, we’ll arrive immediately. Don’t even dream of hogging it all for yourself; remember, it’s a Black Dragon…”

A group of people then scattered to search for the Black Dragon hatchling while the lone alchemist player stood rooted to the spot, his face reflecting his wish for tears that wouldn’t come.

“You little rascal, you’ve learned to scam players for herbs!” Song Jian gently tapped the Black Dragon hatchling’s head and derisively smiled.

Grr-

The Black Dragon hatchling was standing by Song Jian’s side, lifting its head with an expression that reflected more pride than shame. Its nail-sized tail was wagging with sheer speed.

“Just let me know if you need something to eat. Don’t mess with the players again. Beware of running into a powerful one who might slay you!” Song Jian commented, stroking its head.

Whoosh-

Hundreds of herbs magically appeared in front of the Black Dragon hatchling – golden, blue, crimson…colorful herbs spread across the floor.

The Black Dragon hatchling let out a joyful roar and started gulping down the scattered herbs.

“Aren’t dragons typical meat eaters? How did it become herbivorous as soon as it became a pet?” Song Jian wondered, watching the Black Dragon who licked even the herb particles that had fallen from its mouth.

After resting in the Manor Castle for several hours, Song Jian decided to advance to the level 15 monster area. A piece of silver-quality leather armor remained unwearable in his inventory, itching at his patience.

In Doomsday City, most of the monsters were mutated zombies, ranging from levels 1 to 30. Song Jian didn’t have access to areas with higher-level zombies yet, but he guessed such places wouldn’t lack mutated zombies.

The situation felt like Resident Evil, where a virus had turned the entire city’s population into zombies, who could also evolve and become more powerful.

Song Jian left the manor and drove his motorcycle towards the level 15 monster zone. On the way, he saw many players hunting down monsters. The number of players entering the game was steadily increasing, most of which, like him, were involuntarily pulled in.

For some, entering this game could be disastrous; but for Song Jian, it offered opportunity and challenge.

In reality, it had only been three or four days since Song Jian encountered this game. Coastal City might have seen hundreds of deaths during this short period, but Song Jian hadn’t heard any such reports from the radio or TV broadcasts. It was as though someone was keeping it all under wraps.

Song Jian arrived at the level 15 monster zone. Here, one could barely see any players. Most players had only recently reached level 10 and were fussing over choosing their professions. Generally, many preferred hunting monsters at lower levels for safety, given that one lost their life permanently upon death in this game.

The level 15 mutated zombies had significantly higher vitality points, defense, attack, and speed. Their resistance to sunlight also increased substantially, maintaining all their attributes even in daylight.

For other players, these monsters were like mini-bosses; it was no surprise that nobody was found in this area.

With a flick of his right-hand, a warmth surged from his heart. In a flash of golden light, Song Jian wielded his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword and charged at the level 15 mutated zombie.

Whoosh-

With a single swing of his sword, three silver sword silks materialized, cutting through the air like blades.

Hiss-

Three streams of dark brown liquid sprayed from the zombie’s body. The golden sword, although only level 1, inflicted higher damage than the level 10 Guardian’s Sword; each sword silk attack could deal over 150 damage.

Once the sword silks vanished, the zombie, with just over 1000 vitality points, had less than half remaining.

Such phenomenal damage startled even Song Jian. He had initially planned on activating the Immortal Sword Body, but no longer deemed it necessary. Broken Wing Dance!

Boom, boom, bang!

While airborne, a silver sword Qi that was roughly three meters long split the mutated zombie’s body in two.

“So it simply died like that?” Song Jian looked surprised. He had just killed an ordinary level 15 monster with full attribute points within just a few moves, which was quite unlike his initial expectations. When he first encountered this creature, he had been prepared to give it everything he had.

Whooo, whooo-

One by one, mutated zombies crawled out of the dark corners, their bloodshot eyes fixated on Song Jian, filled with a primal desire to kill.

Thump thump thump-

Seven or eight mutated zombies from both sides of the road began charging at Song Jian.

With just a thought, a Hexagram Star summoning circle appeared in front of Song Jian. A flash of white light later, the Black Dragon hatchling appeared, fluttering its wings and letting out an immature roar.

The faint Dragon Might emanating from the Black Dragon hatchling failed to deter the mutated zombies, who continued charging at Song Jian.

Sword in hand, Song Jian dashed toward the mutated zombies, releasing an onslaught of his skills. Silver light beams blossomed within the zombies as howls echoed through the scene.

As more zombies appeared, Song Jian’s vitality points began to decrease, but the number of slain zombies also soared.

Buzz-

Song Jian’s sword suddenly began to tremble violently, as if trying to escape his grip.

With the force proving too strong, Song Jian had to let go. The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword zoomed into the sky.

Golden light erupted in the sky, akin to a sunrise.

Buzz buzz buzz-

The hum of his sword grew louder. In a flash, several faint golden sword apparitions rained down on the mutated zombies in a ten-meter radius.

Stereaks of critical damage floated above the zombies’ heads, accompanied by harrowing cries.

The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword swiftly returned to Song Jian’s hand. Upon closer look, it had leveled up to 2.

Its attack and properties had slightly increased, but what surprised Song Jian more was the dramatic spectacle of the sword leveling up. Almost 300 vitality points were drained from each mutated zombie within a ten-meter radius. All of them now glared at Song Jian, roars of rage filling the air. At this point, all of their aggression was firmly locked onto Song Jian.
