Chapter 1071: Chapter 1073: Siege_1 Chapter 1071: Chapter 1073: Siege_1 Song Jian couldn't help but feel speechless as he introspectively observed the tiny Sky-breaking Sword Orb. After merging with the Sword Spirit, the Sky-breaking Sword had become much livelier, but its personality seemed like that of a mischievous child, curious about everything and always wanting to compete with others to see who was sharper and more durable.
Fortunately, the Moon Essence Wheel was just a skill; even if destroyed, it could be re-condensed. Otherwise, Song Jian probably would have cried out loud.
The intelligent brain Nafiboja, the Tower Spirit, had vanished, leaving the room with only a pale blue light door and a motionless robot by his side.
“Hello, can you understand what I'm saying?” Song Jian waved his hand in front of the robot and asked loudly.
“Hello, Song Jian. You can call me Nafiboja, and thank you for escorting me out! It's been hard on you,” the robot tilted its head, showing a standard smile and said to Song Jian.
“Nafiboja? You wouldn't happen to be an avatar of this Tower Spirit, would you?” Song Jian guessed.
“Sorry, that is highly confidential. I don't have the authority to inform you,” Nafiboja maintained her standard smile.
“Alright, let's leave this place now. Can you keep up?” asked Song Jian.
“As long as you keep your moving speed within 100 meters per second, I can lock onto and keep up with you,” Nafiboja said.
“A hundred meters per second, you mean that's like flying…” Song Jian was somewhat speechless, nodded his head, and walked towards the pale blue light door, with Nafiboja closely following behind him.
The two entered the teleportation light gate one after the other, turning into light and vanishing. Soon, the room quieted down, and the light gate slowly disappeared as well.
After a while, the silver metallic walls and floors of the room gradually began to change, as if experiencing thousands of years of time passing by. The metal walls and floor rusted at a visible rate, and within seconds, the whole room was filled with a dead silence, looking worn and dilapidated. Then, no further changes occurred, as though this was the Tower of Slaughter's original appearance.
Song Jian and the robot Nafiboja arrived at an open space. Song Jian opened the map and saw that it seemed to be shrouded in fog, with nothing visible.
Looking up, there was a dense jungle in the distance with many tall, dark red plants that looked somewhat fierce, and it was unclear what they were. Some of the plants even seemed to have offensive capabilities, as Song Jian personally witnessed a sturdy, dark red plant thrusting a branch into a small animal's body and then slowly dragging it towards its roots.
“What in the world is this place? How are we supposed to leave here?” Song Jian said in frustration.
“This is the central southern part of Scorching Gorge, a level 80 monster area. The best route out of here would be through the Death Mine Forest ahead, and into the Golden Desert. Then continue northeast for five hundred kilometers through a volcanic area, and we will reach the outer edge of Scorching Gorge…” Nafiboja's eyes flickered with light as if accessing data and methodically relayed the route to Song Jian.
“Not bad, your presence makes the escort mission a lot less difficult…” A smile appeared on Song Jian's face as he nodded and said, “But before that, I need to condense the Moon Essence Wheel. Give me a moment!”
After speaking, Song Jian began to mobilize all his Sword Qi to condense the Moon Essence Wheel. Moments later, a half-silver, half-gold crescent appeared in front of his chest. All of his Sword Qi was depleted, leaving him feeling a void and slightly pale. He rested on the spot for a moment before his complexion turned rosy again.
Sword Qi was also a type of energy within Song Jian's body, like physical strength and Mental Strength. If it was completely exhausted, it would cause some discomfort. And unlike Mental Strength, physical strength, and Vitality Points, it could not be replenished with pills and had to recover on its own. Fortunately, the recovery speed of Sword Qi Value was extremely fast, regenerating ten to twenty points per second, far faster than the recovery rates of Mental Strength, Vitality Points, or physical strength.
“Stay close to me!” Song Jian whispered as he dashed towards the distant forest. Initially, he was concerned that his robotic companion, Nafiboja, might not be able to keep up with his pace, but soon he realized that even if he ran at full speed, Nafiboja could follow just two or three meters behind him. As for Nafiboja's limit, Song Jian couldn't test it out. Clearly, when it came to speed, Nafiboja was much faster.
This forest was home to a monster known as the Flame Demon, level eighty, at the Second-tier Strength Peak. A humanoid monster around two meters tall, its body was always ablaze with fire, skilled in fire magic. Regardless of the presence of an enemy, its two palms always clutched a ball of roaring flames.
As Song Jian and the robot Nafiboja entered the forest, nearby Flame Demons seemed to be drawn to them. Their target wasn't Song Jian but Nafiboja, who was closely following him.
Boom~
A fireball flew towards Nafiboja, who deftly dodged the attack. The flame smashed into a large tree behind her, instantly turning it into a gigantic torch.
“Warning, warning, I am under attack. Please, protector, ensure my safety, or the escort mission will fail!”
“Warning, warning, I am under attack. Please, protector, ensure my safety, or the escort mission will fail!”
While dodging flames, Nafiboja kept repeating the mechanical warnings.
“I know, I know, I'm taking them down!” Song Jian said as he reached out his right hand, and the Sky-breaking Sword materialized in his palm. The sword had evolved into a legendary-grade weapon with purple-gold radiance, greatly increasing its attack damage.
Mysterious Moonlight Sword!
Like a streak of light, Song Jian dashed towards the nearest Flame Demon, his Sky-breaking Sword slashing down fiercely upon it. Instantly, a critical hit of over six thousand damage points floated above the Flame Demon's head.
The Moon Essence Wheel also sprang into action, as if another arm was operating it, continuously inflicting slicing damage on the Flame Demon before him.
With a piercing scream, the Flame Demon lost control of its body and slowly floated in the air. After a dazzling flash of sword light, a series of damage numbers swiftly floated from above its head, completely draining its vitality points.
Then, without pausing, Song Jian didn't even glance at the items that dropped, rushing straight towards another Flame Demon.
Although these Flame Demons were thirty levels higher than Song Jian, in terms of attributes and defense against damage, he completely overpowered them. Vitality points that seemed high to other adventurers were nothing in Song Jian's eyes, unable to withstand a set of his skills. Even ordinary damage could kill a Flame Demon within a few seconds.
A few minutes later, the forest suddenly quieted down. Nafiboja stood in front of a few charred trees, looking around. Around her were five or six bodies of Flame Demons still burning, with various items scattered beside them. Song Jian was bending over, collecting the spoils of battle. A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Nafiboja's mouth, then just as quickly, she reverted to her previous expressionless state.
