I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1066

Chapter 1066: Chapter 1068: Trial of Slaughter_1 Chapter 1066: Chapter 1068: Trial of Slaughter_1 “`
The task of delivering the forging hammer, where rewards were random, meant that Song Jian's prize would entirely depend on Master Kulun's mood. He could give Song Jian whatever he pleased, and if he were in a poor mood, Song Jian might end up with nothing and make the trip for naught.

The thirty Soul Light Spheres, according to what Master Kulun had just said, were worth three million Doomsday Coins. Just for completing a task that was on the way, obtaining three million Doomsday Coins was a substantial reward for an ordinary player, but which of the adventurers who managed to enter the Scorching Gorge was an ordinary person?

With Song Jian's strength, hunting thirty monsters in the Scorching Gorge would take at most a little over an hour, most of which would be spent searching for the monsters.

Therefore, to Song Jian, these thirty Soul Light Spheres could at best be seen as a consolation prize, but to others, these spheres could be key to entering the Tower of Slaughter or leaving the Scorching Gorge.

Under the envious gazes of other adventurers, Song Jian received the thirty Soul Light Spheres. These spheres, resembling small lamps, floated around his body.

System: Sacrifice thirty portions of Soul Energy to enter the Slaughter Tower? Note: This process is irreversible, and you cannot withdraw once you've sacrificed!

Yes!

Song Jian immediately made his choice, and his figure turned into a flash of white light, flying into the crimson pillar of light.

At this moment, the crimson pillar was still shifting, with the Tower of Slaughter yet to take shape. This process would take a few days, only when the King Level BOSS either succeeded or failed in advancing would the Tower of Slaughter finally form!

Song Jian felt a blur before his eyes, and suddenly, he was in a state of uncontrollable weightlessness. In this condition, he couldn't sense the passage of time at all; it seemed that in the next second, he was cast out with great force and landed on a patch of grassland.

After stumbling forward a few steps, Song Jian steadied himself and looked around.

“This, is this the Tower of Slaughter?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise. All he could see was a valley. Mountains surrounded it in the distance, with lush green grasslands around and several large trees thriving in the valley, all appearing to have lived for at least a hundred years.

Song Jian checked the time on his communicator and was shocked to find that although it felt like only a moment since he entered the Slaughter Tower, the communicator showed that five days had passed.

Just then, a row of crimson letters suddenly appeared in the sky, identical to the font that had appeared previously on the Tower of Slaughter.

[Slaughter Trial: Kill thirty equal-level monsters within 1 hour. The shorter the time, the richer the trial rewards. The top ten will be listed on the Slaughter Ranking!]
“Equal-level monsters?” Song Jian's face changed. Thirty equal-level monsters were nothing to him, but right now he only had a broken Dark Gold Quality longsword in hand. His Sky-breaking Sword was still fusing and couldn't be used.

“The trial can't be this simple; there must be tougher slaughters ahead. Damn it, the Sky-breaking Sword hasn't fused yet and can't be used. With just this broken spare weapon, there's no way I could pass this so-called Slaughter Trial!” Song Jian's face looked terrible.

Humming~
A slight vibration filled the air, and thirty level fifty Thunder Lizards slowly appeared about a hundred meters away from Song Jian.

These thirty Thunder Lizards, each over three meters long, had their bodies covered with a thick layer of light blue scales. Between their eyebrows was a three-inch-long horn, from which occasional streaks of electricity flashed.

“`
Before the Thunder Lizards had fully materialized, Song Jian, holding the broken Dark Gold Quality long sword, swung it fiercely forward. Countless Spirit Swords levitated and flew like meteors toward the Thunder Lizards standing a hundred meters away.

A burst of angry roars ensued. The bodies of the thirty Thunder Lizards began to swell, with a hint of bloody red color emerging on their originally pale blue scales. The moment they appeared, they sensed a threat to their lives and immediately activated the Thunder Lizards' innate skill, Berserker Bloodline.

After going berserk, the Thunder Lizards' skill power increased by 50% while, correspondingly, their defense weakened by 20%, and their resistances also decreased by 20%. Faint blue lightning burst forth from the horns between their brows, and suddenly, “boom, boom, boom” thunder rumbled through the previously clear skies.

“A fusion technique? This is practically cheating!” Song Jian looked up at the thirty Thunder Lizards' heads and saw a massive thundercloud continuously gathering. Each of the Thunder Lizards' horns were releasing an arm-thick lightning bolt, contributing to the formation of this thundercloud.

If they were allowed to unleash this thundercloud, its power could absolutely reach that of a full-strength blow from a second tier lord-level BOSS. It would be an unstoppable attack for an ordinary adventurer who had just stepped into second tier combat power and was only at level fifty.

However, just as the thundercloud began to form, hundreds of Spirit Swords had already rapidly flown towards the Thunder Lizards.

Boom, boom, boom~
Each Thunder Lizard was struck by a dozen Spirit Swords. The Thunder Lizards, with less than fifty thousand Vitality Points, were instantly killed, and the thundercloud that had formed above them, which was over ten meters wide, began to slowly dissipate.

The fusion technique was powerful, but the Thunder Lizards' skill took too long to gather. Song Jian didn't give them any chance to unleash it.

Crack~
A crisp fracturing sound echoed. Song Jian looked down to find that the Dark Gold Quality long sword in his hand had completely snapped in two, with a blade over one foot long falling to the ground. What was once a complete long sword had now turned into a broken sword.

“I finally realize how the Sword Immortal Severed Blade came into existence. It must have also been a result of unleashing a skill that exceeded the long sword's tolerance, leading to the weapon's damage. If that Sword Immortal had possessed a matching long sword, perhaps he wouldn't have perished in the Abyssal Hell…” Song Jian thought to himself.

Casually tossing aside the broken long sword, Song Jian walked over to the bodies of the Thunder Lizards. A dozen items flickering with white and green lights lay scattered on the ground, with one even sparkling with the glow of blue quality.

It seemed the drop rate for monsters inside the Tower of Slaughter was much higher. Thirty ordinary monsters had dropped over a dozen items — a drop rate not enjoyed outside. Even with Song Jian's luck now at eight points, he could only manage to hunt a dozen monsters of the same level and get one item to drop.

Approaching the corpses of the lizards, Song Jian glanced at them indifferently. These level fifty items could fetch several thousand Doomsday Coins in the outside world, but for Song Jian, most of them were just wares to be sold at the shop.

“A green-quality long sword…” Picking up one of the weapons, Song Jian sighed. Such a low-quality sword would probably fail to execute the Thousand Swords Art, and might even injure him through skill backlash, an unwise risk.

After some thought, he still collected all the items into his inventory. At that moment, he noticed an item that had been hidden by a Thunder Lizard's body. Previously, because it had been covered, he had not seen it, but as the corpse slowly dissolved into black mist, the item finally revealed itself.

“A black item, is this… a fragment of a map?” Song Jian picked up the palm-sized tattered sheepskin, his eyes revealing a curious glint.
