I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1313

Chapter 1313: Chapter 1315: Excavation Chapter 1313: Chapter 1315: Excavation “`
For the God-blessed, some NPC factions were quite welcoming, as God-blessed individuals leveled up very quickly; they could advance just by killing, which made them seem like exceptional talents with outstanding potential to the NPCs in the game.

However, the purely profit-driven behavior of many God-blessed also caused distaste among various NPC factions. Kanta's tribe had once admitted some God-blessed who had converted to the Abyssal Clan, but these God-blessed were eventually all expelled by the tribe's Golden Royalty, leading to a general sense of disdain for God-blessed within the entire tribe.

Song Jian stood at a distance and looked towards the entrance of the cave, where the area around the mine was now surrounded by warriors from the Abyssal Human Clan, numbering two to three hundred.

Among these warriors of the Abyssal Human Clan, there were two Tier 3 Combat Power sovereign-class powerhouses and more than ten overlord-class BOSSes with Tier 3 Combat Power. Even the ordinary warriors were mostly elite BOSSes around level ninety. If he were to use the Thousand Swords Art, it would take at least two or three times to eliminate all of them.

“Don't even mention two or three times, even if I used it once, the commotion would be enough to attract the attention of the three Legendary Realm powerhouses in the town…” Song Jian's brow furrowed slightly, the noise from the Thousand Swords Art was too great, and since the Purple Crystal mine was not far from the Abyss Castle, once a fight started, the three Legendary Realm powerhouses could potentially arrive here within a dozen seconds. At that time, Song Jian would have no choice but to flee and his intentions would be exposed, making it even harder to enter the Purple Crystal mine.

“I must find a way to get into the mine and bypass these guardians of the Abyssal Human Clan,” Song Jian thought silently to himself.

Song Jian slowly retreated and started to explore the surroundings on his own.

The Purple Crystal mine was located within a range of undulating mountains, surrounded by rock walls. Song Jian moved to one side of the mine, which was about seven or eight hundred meters from the entrance and part of the same mountain peak. Digging here should also lead into the mine, but he didn't know the thickness of the rock wall between here and the mine; if it was too thick, it would be counterproductive, and any loud actions could alert the Goblin Miners inside.

With this in mind, Song Jian summoned Gulu, the stone-elemental war pet who had been sound asleep in the Pet Space.

Gulu's level had already advanced to level 120, but unfortunately, its rank had remained at overlord and hadn't broken through. If Gulu could break through to the sovereign class, then it might have the chance to reach the Legendary Realm. Sadly, if it couldn't advance to the Legendary Realm, its level would forever remain at 120.

“Gulu, dig a hole for me here, all the way through, and keep the noise down!” Song Jian ordered.

Gulu shook its head, and now over ten meters tall, it was a giant in front of Song Jian. Having heard Song Jian's command, Gulu placed its hands against the rock wall, and in no time, a large amount of rock flowed down like water from where its hands touched.

Whoosh~
Countless pieces of broken rock flowed out, rolling to the sides, and in just a moment, a hole five or six meters wide appeared before Song Jian.

Gulu was extremely efficient at digging and made barely any noise. It only needed to place its hands on the rock wall and then slowly move forward; the hardened rock in front of it would naturally break down into fist-sized fragments, rolling away from its sides.

In just ten minutes, Gulu had dug a nearly one-hundred-meter deep tunnel, a feat impossible for even professional miners to achieve in such a short span of time.

Song Jian followed leisurely behind Gulu. He was now realizing how comfortable it was to have a war pet skilled at digging. Even though Gulu was now a 120-level overlord-class BOSS, it didn't have any particularly remarkable offensive or defensive capabilities.

“`
Its defense was stronger than that of a regular battle pet, but it fell a little short when compared to top-tier combat pets like the Black Dragon, and its attack was even weaker than that of the average monster at the same level. However, Gulu could also cast some earth-based magic, having mastered a few areof-effect and single-target spells, which compensated for its lack of offensive power.

But everything is relative, and in comparison with the Black Dragon, Gulu's earth magic naturally couldn't hold a candle to Dragon Language Magic. This was why Song Jian had not let Gulu join the battle until now.

But now, seeing the hard rock wall crumble into rubble almost instantaneously beneath Gulu's hands and a cave appearing before him in a matter of moments, Song Jian felt an inexplicable surge of excitement.

“Not just for digging tunnels, if we're attacking a city later and the enemy's walls lack array or magical defenses, just a touch from Gulu and they'll collapse. That scene would definitely be beautiful!” Song Jian murmured softly as he walked.

As Gulu continued to dig forward, the light around them gradually darkened, but to Song Jian, it was as clear as day. Because of his Vertical Eye, he had already possessed dark vision, and now that his Vertical Eye had evolved into the Breaking Illusion Divine Eye, darkness was no longer an obstacle to Song Jian's progress–he could see everything around him with absolute clarity.

Crack~
A shattering noise sounded ahead, and a beam of light came streaming in. Song Jian's heart leaped–had they broken through?

With just a thought, the rock creature Gulu vanished, returning to the Pet Space, and Song Jian quickly stepped forward. The rock wall in front of him had cracked open, creating a fissure over a meter tall, from which intense purple light shone through.

“Purple Crystals, it's all Purple Crystals. I never expected there to be so many Purple Crystals in this mine!” Song Jian squeezed through the crack sideways and looked around at the fist-sized Purple Crystals embedded in the surrounding rock walls, his face filled with elation.

Song Jian looked around; it was completely silent. It seemed that the Goblin Miners had all gathered at the entrance to the mine and had not spread out inside it.

Carefully blocking the crack behind him, Song Jian started to pick around him in large quantities.

“The purity of these Purple Crystal ores doesn't seem very high…” Song Jian observed the Purple Crystals in the rock wall, which emitted a faint purple glow, and murmured to himself.

The spread of Purple Crystal ore here indeed wasn't of high purity, and even the weak purple light they emitted was very faint. But the quantity of Purple Crystal ore was enormous, almost completely covering the surrounding rock walls, with some as large as basketballs and others the size of fists.

Song Jian couldn't help but reach out to grab a Purple Crystal ore and began to dig energetically.

“Eh? How can the walls here be so hard?” Song Jian frowned slightly. With his current strength, ordinary rock walls were no different from soil to him; even writing on the rock walls with his fingers was an easy task. However, when he tried to dig out the Purple Crystal ore by hand, he encountered resistance. The rock walls near the Purple Crystal ore were particularly hard, even tougher than common alloyed steel.

Thinking this, Song Jian directly summoned the Sky-breaking Sword and thrust it into the junction between a piece of Purple Crystal ore and the rock wall.
