I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Worship

Noticing the series of system prompts, a serious expression appeared on Song Jian’s face.

He had gone through considerable trouble to steal the Goblet of Life from the Dark Castle. It was impossible for him to just let it go now. Besides, not all the dragon servants possessed the same combat power.

Moreover, Anna had told him earlier that the City of Sin was less than two hundred kilometers away from the Dark Castle. With Song Jian’s speed, he could reach the City of Sin in less than twelve hours;

Once inside the City of Sin, even the strongest of the dragon servants would not dare chase and attack him in a city filled with humans.

The two quickly left through the passage and entered the Shadowfang Mountain Range.

“My human friend, you saved me, and you helped me find my tribe’s totem. You will always be a friend of the Blackhoof Tribe!” Kane, the beastman, embraced Song Jian tightly, expressing his gratitude.

System: Your relationship with the Blackhoof Tribe has been upgraded to “friendly,” and your relationship with the beastman Kane has been upgraded to “revered”;

“Not bad!” A smile danced on Song Jian’s lips. Kane was not only a beastman warrior, but he also had shaman abilities. Now that he had retrieved the tribe’s Totem Pillar, there was a high likelihood he would become the chief of the Blackhoof Tribe.

Having such a revered relationship with an NPC was indeed a rare occurrence for Song Jian.

“This is the dragon horn that you cut off yourself. I can’t take it!” said Kane, pulling out the dragon horn from his chest and returning it to Song Jian. With a serious look, he continued: “This is your feather in the cap. I need to earn my own honor. The other horn of the Shadow Giant Dragon has my name on it!”

“Great, make sure to inform me next time you go to claim it. We’ll do it together!” Song Jian laughed, punching Kane lightly.

“Of course, friend, I won’t forget you. But you must also strive hard, don’t let me surpass you.” Kane laughed. Kane is excited because with the Bloodthirsty Totem Pillar, his strength would undergo a tremendous transformation when he becomes the tribe leader;

“Oh, by the way, here’s a treasure map for you. The location marked on it is somewhere near Shadowfang Mountain Range. I hope it will be of help.” Song Jian handed over the treasure map he had obtained earlier.

The rescue mission was not hard, and Song Jian predicted that the reward wouldn’t be much. The rewards given by other rescued characters weren’t valuable. The treasure in the map was either already taken by someone, leaving only worthless stuff, or the treasure itself wasn’t worth much.

Song Jian couldn’t spare the time to hunt this treasure at the moment. His time was precious. He had to race against time to march towards the City of Sin.

“But… this belongs to you. How can I….” Kane stared at Song Jian, astonished.

“Consider it a gift from me. You must accept it.” Saying this, Song Jian put the treasure map into Kane’s hand.

“This… This is…” Kane was so touched and excited, he was momentarily speechless.

System: You gifted a treasure map to Kane, significantly improving your rapport with him. Your relationship with the beastman Kane of the Blackhoof Tribe enhances from ‘revered’ to ‘worshiped’ level;

System: You can try to recruit Kane as your follower. You have a high chance of successfully recruiting Kane;

Song Jian’s heart leaped with joy. Gifting valuable items to NPCs could enhance Song Jian’s affinity with them.;

Song Jian estimated that his rescue and help in retrieving the Bloodthirsty Totem had already pushed their relationship to the peak of reverence. Now, giving just a not-very-valuable item had allowed him to break through reverence to reach the level of worship;

“Alright, let’s not waste any more time. I have to head to the City of Sin!” Song Jian told Kane.

After bidding farewell to each other, Song Jian immediately cast his acceleration skill, rushing towards the City of Sin;

A distance of two hundred kilometers would have taken Song Jian at least three or four days at his previous speed. However, the dragon servants were hunting him, there were killers lurking everywhere. Song Jian had to move as quickly as possible;

Song Jian fled to the Shadow Forest. It was already dark, so he lit a bonfire preparing to rest. However, the Goblet of Life stored in his bag unexpectedly emits dazzling rays of light. A mysterious fluctuation was spreading from his bag;

The player’s bag was equivalent to another dimension. Anything placed in the bag would lose all physical effects on this plane;

However, the magic on the Goblet of Life was able to penetrate Song Jian’s bag, emit fluctuations, and alert the dragon’s servants. This left Song Jian flabbergasted.

At this moment, outside the Dark Castle, a team of half-dragon beings rode grey war bears. Their formation was orderly, at least dozens of them; freёweɓnovel.com

Their leader, riding a colossal raptor, was fixated on the compass in his hand;

Soon, the compass needle began to spin. A grotesque, scale-covered face revealed a smile. He roared, “In that direction, charge!”

He pointed, and dozens of war bears roared, shaking the earth as they quickly dashed towards the direction their leader pointed;

The magic fluctuation from the Goblet of Life in Song Jian’s bag went on for tens of minutes before it gradually died.

However, he knew that the pursuers behind were aware of the direction he had fled in and were still rapidly chasing him. He could not afford to delay even by a minute, or they might catch up.

Song Jian glanced at the Black Dragon in his pet space. The Black Dragon was currently in deep slumber. Yet, from the status displayed in the pet space, the Black Dragon was in unusually good health.

Moreover, it seemed to be in some sort of special condition. Its level and power were automatically increasing. By now, the Black Dragon was at level twenty-eight. This baffled Song Jian, who couldn’t understand what was happening to his Black Dragon.

“If only it could wake up now. With its help, dealing with those pursuers behind us would be a lot easier, at least it could carry me and expedite our journey.” Song Jian thought internally.

The Black Dragon was large enough to carry Song Jian with ease;

Just then, Song Jian suddenly felt the ground vibrating rhythmically, as if something was charging towards him;

“They’re so fast?” Song Jian’s heart sank. He hadn’t expected the pursuers to be faster than him. He had been using his acceleration to speed up, but he hadn’t thought that these pursuers would be mounted;

“Blood Raven, come out!” Song Jian thought, summoning several Blood Ravens, which he directed towards the approaching pursuers;

With the help of these Blood Ravens, which extended his sense of perception over a long distance, he quickly got a clear visual through their eyes on the situation behind him.

When he saw the half-dragon troops, who looked like a miniature army, and the war bears beneath them, Song Jian found himself drawing a sharp breath.
