Chapter 1110: Chapter 1112: Escape from Predicament_1 Chapter 1110: Chapter 1112: Escape from Predicament_1 Swarms of Abyssal creatures burst forth from the black castle like a tide, these denizens of Hell who had never seen such a beautiful sight became excited upon entering the game world, rushing to chew on any plant they saw.
In the Abyssal Hell, aside from the boundless darkness, everywhere was flowing with lava; any plant capable of surviving in such an environment was inedible, not only highly toxic but also extremely tough, indigestible if swallowed and likely to slice open the stomach.
In the game world, however, even the dried and cracked bark of trees was deemed a supreme delicacy by these Abyssal creatures. Their sharp fangs could easily tear off large chunks of plant matter and swallow it.
Once they tasted the flesh and blood of the game world's animals, these Abyssal creatures went completely mad, continuously invading and plundering outward. The scarcity of food in the Abyssal Hell was atrocious, and to these creatures, the game world was akin to paradise, if they knew what paradise was.
All adventurers, both NPCs and players outside, tore open their Town Return Scrolls the moment they received the system alert. The wilderness was now too dangerous; encountering an Abyssal creature spelled certain doom, and even the most powerful adventurer was insignificant before tens of thousands of Abyssal creatures.
At this moment, Song Jian, due to being in a special enclosed space, was not only cut off from all contact with the outside world but also did not receive the system alert about the Abyssal invasion.
He was now luring over Elite Insect Guards one by one to kill them. These Elite Insect Guards grouped in threes and fives, guarding the surrounding insect eggs. Song Jian used the Eye of Insight to check the eggs, which contained unhatched Insect Soldiers. Some of the eggs harbored larvae that hadn't fully developed their form, still in the larval stage, which relieved Song Jian.
However, he refrained from destroying these eggs, fearing that it might alarm the broodmother deep in the cave. If his guess was correct, these eggs were laid by the broodmother, and if tampered with, they would likely alert it.
Unbeknownst to him, a day and a night had passed. Song Jian, tired, would rest awhile in the cave tunnels; when hungry or thirsty, he would consume some provisions. Since acquiring the Shattered Divine Realm, his super storage items had honorably retired. Items not immediately needed were all placed within the Shattered Divine Realm, reserving his inventory slots for emergency items like healing and recovery potions.
Within the Shattered Divine Realm, he had stored enough food and water to sustain thirty people for a year. Moreover, a large lake had revived inside, and he had deliberately raised many small animals there. Even if he were to consume all his prepared supplies, he wouldn't starve.
The number of Elite Insect Guards dwindled gradually, and like gnawing on bones, Song Jian killed them all. Among hundreds of Insect Soldiers, only one dropped a golden-quality trident, with no item above the silver tier, which made him doubt his own luck as possibly being cut off by this enclosed space. After all, how could only one gold-quality weapon drop from hundreds of level sixty-plus Elite Bosses?
When Song Jian killed the last Elite Insect Guard, the Titan Broodmother bound by iron chains in the distance seemed to sense the anomaly, becoming restless and struggling, issuing a series of piercing screeches.
The iron chains binding it clanked against one another, creating a grating noise that echoed throughout the cavern. Song Jian's gaze fell upon the massive creature, its body exceeding ten meters in size.
“I don't even know how this King Level boss appeared here and which formidable being managed to capture and bind it with iron chains…” Song Jian held the Sky-breaking Sword, thinking inwardly, “Such a terrifying monster, why just imprison it and not kill it to utterly eradicate the threat?”
With the reproductive capability of this insect queen, if she were to break free, it would likely be a horrific disaster for other creatures.
Thousand Swords Art!
Song Jian channeled all his Sword Qi into the Sky-breaking Sword, preparing to take advantage of the moment to kill the insect queen on the spot, completing the origin quest. He was very much looking forward to the reward of an epic weapon.
Countless Spirit Swords slashed at the insect queen, generating a cacophony of metal clashing against metal, and sparks burst forth. Song Jian's face showed a hint of surprise; each Spirit Sword only caused four to five hundred points of damage to the insect queen, not even breaking through her shell armor, only leaving shallow white marks on the black carapace.
The carapace of the Titan insect queen seemed indistinguishable from the armors of the elite insect soldiers, but now appeared to be made of a completely different material. Even when attacking the Flame King's tentacles, the Spirit Swords could inflict thousands of points of damage. Had it been any normal lord or even ruler level bosses, each Spirit Sword could have dealt over five thousand points of damage, which would have killed those normal bosses outright without even triggering subsequent phases.
“This defense and resistance are just too terrifying!” Song Jian was amazed. One must know that each Spirit Sword carried an additional two thousand points of fire damage. Without extremely high Fire Resistance, that damage would be very real. But now, the fire damage had been suppressed to the limit by the insect queen, managing only to erupt with a little over a hundred points of fire damage. This was something Song Jian had never encountered since advancing to second-tier combat power.
Clang, clang, clang~
Hundreds of Spirit Swords continuously chopped at the insect queen, but the damage inflicted was minuscule. Song Jian could even see a hint of disdain in the insect queen's eyes, as if she couldn't care less about such attacks.
However, what Song Jian didn't expect was that the damage from the Spirit Swords actually had an unexpected effect on the iron chains binding the insect queen. The chains, as thick as arms, continuously shattered under the assault of the Spirit Swords. After a wave of attacks, most of the chains on the insect queen's body had been destroyed. The broken chains whipped fiercely against the rock walls on both sides, echoing a “boom, boom, boom” throughout the cave, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.
With an excited roar, the insect queen struggled fiercely. The remaining chains could no longer hold her. Under her brute strength, they were deformed and snapped one after another. The Titan insect queen unexpectedly broke free under Song Jian's attack, which made him involuntarily feel a sinking feeling in his heart. In this enclosed space, Song Jian had limited space to dodge. If he let this level 120 King Level boss break free, it would likely pose a massive challenge to him.
