I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1140

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1142: Invitation_1 Chapter 1140: Chapter 1142: Invitation_1 Song Jian looked at Duan Jian somewhat speechlessly. The most important reason the latter gave him the token was probably to have Song Jian go to the East Sea Mirage City to buy him a bottle of Jade Marrow Wine.

“Actually, I don't particularly need a flying sword right now…” Song Jian hesitated.

“No, you must go. I've already given you the token, don't delay. The entrance to the Mirage City will only appear for a quarter of an hour in seven days!” Duan Jian's eyes widened, and like a bolt of lightning, he leaped out of the room's window and vanished from sight.

“Hey, mentor, I still wanted to ask you more about the Imperial Sword Sect…” Song Jian, seeing his mentor leave, suddenly became anxious, rushed to the window, but Duan Jian was nowhere to be found.

“Once you buy a flying sword from the East Sea Mirage City and return, I will take you to the Imperial Sword Sect!” Duan Jian's voice carried over from a distance, steadying Song Jian's heart.

Song Jian did not immediately leave the City of Hope to head for the East Sea. Instead, he stayed in the City Lord Mansion for a day to address some accumulated city affairs and, on the other hand, to collect some rare items to sell in the East Sea Mirage City.

Song Jian believed that there would not be many players who could go to the East Sea Mirage City. This time, he estimated that the chances were high that he would deal with the NPCs instead. Now, most holders of high-level items among the NPCs were not interested in Doomsday Coins but preferred bartering. They exchanged their treasures for others they wanted, and if you didn't have the desired items, no amount of Doomsday Coins would persuade them to sell.

This time, Song Jian had two goals for going to the East Sea Mirage City: one was to purchase a suitable flying sword for himself, and the other was to buy a pot of Jade Marrow Wine for his mentor Duan Jian.

The fact that not a single flying sword had dropped in the entire game world for so long, and only the East Sea Mirage City had them, spoke volumes of their preciousness. And the Jade Marrow Wine that mentor Duan Jian wanted was probably not as simple as he claimed. What if he got into the Mirage City but was unable to buy these two items? Wouldn't it be like leaving a treasure mountain empty-handed?

Moreover, this was linked to another mission for Song Jian, entering the Imperial Sword Sect!

“Damn it, what does that girl want me to steal from the Imperial Sword Sect…” Song Jian's face darkened bitterly. Facing a great sect that could rival the gods was not something a mere player like him could resist. If he got caught stealing, he feared even mentor Duan Jian might not be able to protect him.

Song Ya and the other two were only in a weakened state now; they did not know they would lose their lives in three months, thinking they would return to normal after the state of weakness ended.

Since Song Jian had brought these three into that Mysterious Town, he naturally could not let them lose their lives because of him!

After making his preparations, Song Jian used the Transmission Array and arrived at East Wish City, the city closest to the East Sea.

This city, like the City of Hope, was also constructed by players. However, its size was only a third of that of the City of Hope, and it faced the sea, with groups of Abyssal monsters emerging from the ocean almost daily to besiege the city. Fortunately, the Abyss Fortresses in the sea were apparently not of a high level, and the Abyssal monsters that appeared daily were all below level fifty, which for the players of this city, was practically a delivered benefit.

Therefore, this small town, originally only capable of accommodating three hundred thousand people, had attracted nearly a million players. Some aggressive players even left the town to hunt the Abyssal monsters proactively.

Upon arriving in East Wish City, Song Jian did not linger but instead summoned his spider mount and galloped toward the city gate nearest to the East Sea. The people here did not recognize Song Jian, but upon seeing his mount, they all revealed looks of astonishment and hurriedly cleared a path for him.

Seeing Song Jian head straight for the East Sea, many players thought he was going to hunt Abyssal monsters, and envy appeared in their eyes.

“`
But there were well-intentioned people who, seeing Song Jian's youthfulness, shouted at him loudly, “Young man, there are too many Abyss creatures outside the city. It's easy to get surrounded and then it becomes dangerous. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the city? In no more than an hour, those creatures will attack the city. You can fight them from the safety of the city walls with efficiency and ease, wouldn't that be delightful?”

Sitting on his spider mount, Song Jian cupped one hand in the other before his chest and smiled, “Thank you for the warning, but I'm on a quest, not hunting monsters to level up!”

Squeak squeak~
With a piercing screech, the spider mount suddenly took to the air, jumping onto the roof of a building beside the street. It kept leaping from one rooftop to another, rapidly disappearing from the city gate and speeding toward the East Sea.

“Another powerhouse, daring to take on a quest in the East Sea at a time like this, heh heh…” A player over level forty, watching Song Jian's retreating figure, sneered.

“Nowadays, the East Sea is swarming with Abyss monsters. Provoke one, and you'll attract a whole swarm. Unless you have a well-coordinated team, going to the East Sea alone is like walking into a tiger's den with no return, sigh!”

“Didn't you see the quality of his mount? I've never seen such a high-quality mount before, and that man's level is even skull-shaped. You low-level players worry for him, which is simply preposterous!”

“Exactly, exactly, working like you're selling cabbage, but fretting like you're dealing cocaine. Aren't you tired of it?”

…
Leaving East Wish City, Song Jian headed east for tens of kilometers and finally saw a stretch of coastline ahead. The waves kept crashing against the rocks, making a “roar” sound. The densely packed Abyss monsters along the coast gave Song Jian a tingling sensation on his scalp–there were simply too many of them.

These monsters did not venture far from the coast but wandered about the shoreline, some even diving into the water to hunt fish and shrimp. Song Jian saw numerous remains of marine life accumulated on the coast, even including skeletons of huge marine creatures over seven or eight meters tall, lying quietly by the seaside.

Song Jian did not approach the coast but took out a token, swung it left and right to determine the direction, then stored away his spider mount and summoned a pair of steel wings, flying in the direction indicated by the token.

Following the guidance of the token, Song Jian flew over the sea for two days and two nights, still unable to find the entrance to East Sea Mirage City. He couldn't help but doubt the guidance of the token, examining it over and over in his hands, wondering if it was broken.

Surrounded by the endless sea, the steel wings could only last for one hour. By that time, Song Jian had switched to the Flame Light Wings, wings that shed flecks of glittering light, looking immeasurably luxurious.

Just as Song Jian was pondering over the token in his hands, a voice suddenly came from afar.

“This young brother, are you also heading to East Sea Mirage City? How about we go together?”
