I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1361

Chapter 1361: Chapter 1363: The Golden Side Quest Chapter 1361: Chapter 1363: The Golden Side Quest Doya's final shared gold side quest for Song Jian was not offered with any good intentions, to begin with, let alone the fact that the Alien Clan had also discovered that relic. The mere words “gold side quest” imply that opportunity and danger exist side by side. Song Jian estimated that to complete the gold side quest, all examinees who had entered the Assessment World would need to work together in united effort, which he knew was simply impossible to achieve.

Moreover, already more than half of the Human Race's examinees had been expelled from the Assessment World. Snatching the gold side quest reward from the hands of the Alien Clan's examinees was fundamentally an impossible task.

Song Jian merely glanced at the content of the gold side quest before closing the task panel and continued walking toward the depths of the underground facility.

“What a pity, the reward for this gold side quest is so rich. Not only does it raise the clearance rating by one tier, but it surprisingly also awards gold skill points, which are excellent for enhancing talent skills…” Song Jian thought to himself in silence.

In the Shattered Divine Realm, the tree spirit Nova that could transform into a human said that a potion to enhance talent skills could be concocted using the Seed of Life, but for some reason, Song Jian had an inherent resistance to this tree spirit Nova. Although he could not find any fault with her, he just did not trust her much. This feeling was very ethereal, without any evidence, yet Song Jian always felt some aversion to this tree spirit.

While musing distractedly, he kept moving deeper into the underground facility. Along the way, human skeletal remains were strewn about, as if the employees had gone through an unstoppable massacre. The bones were riddled with bite marks, but strangely, Song Jian did not find a single beast's remains or any trace of the otherworldly creatures throughout his journey.

Before long, Song Jian stood at the end of the underground passage. Ahead, a chasm as deep as the sky itself blocked his progress deeper into the underground facility.

Song Jian looked up ahead. Although darkness enveloped everything, his dark vision allowed him to see clearly that about thirty meters away was an even deeper and wider cave. There, was likely the location of the laboratory and the place where otherworldly beasts were imprisoned and studied.

With a thought, the Chaotic Heavenly Wings behind Song Jian slowly spread open, and he began to fly slowly towards the other side.

The chasm beneath him was bottomless, and although it was very quiet, Song Jian felt a vague unease in his heart as he flew over the chasm. It seemed as if many powerful enemies were hidden underneath the endlessly deep trench.

Just as Song Jian was two to three meters away from the opposite side of the chasm, he suddenly stopped, remaining motionless in mid-air. He could sense a very formidable presence slowly waking up in the cave on the other side. Initially, Song Jian hadn't noticed it, but as time passed, the presence grew stronger and stronger, reaching the level of a sovereign class BOSS.

As Song Jian hesitated whether to continue exploring forward, on the other side, at the edge of a stone forest, a group from the Alien Clan was hunting creatures that were continuously emerging from within the stones.

These creatures were average in strength, so killing them did not improve the clearance rating, but they occasionally dropped spiritual cores, and there were many of them. The dozen or so members of the Alien Clan were busily enjoying the hunt.

An Alien Clansman holding a spear, with a Vertical Eye of Dark Gold color on his forehead, withdrew his spear from the body of one beast and then kicked it in the chest, sending the over two-meter-long creature flying, crashing into a stone pillar three meters away.

A shrill cry pierced the air as the creature struggled for a while and could not rise, ultimately falling limply to the ground, dead. A greenish spiritual core emerged beside its body.

These creatures were weak, roughly equivalent to an 80-level elite BOSS, posing no threat whatsoever to this group of Alien Clansmen who were level 100 and had reached the Second-tier Peak Combat Power, unless perhaps thousands swarmed them all at once.

These beasts roughly drop an inner core every time thirty are killed. The drop rate isn't great, but for the beast clan, inner cores are treasures. They not only purify the bloodlines in their bodies but also accelerate their cultivation. In other words, they enhance skill proficiency.

The inner core dropped by this beast caught the attention of an Alien Clan member who only glanced at it without rushing to snatch it away. The Alien armed with a long spear and boasting three eyes approached slowly, picking up the emerald-green inner core to check its attributes. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he carefully tucked it away.

“Moxi, that's your third inner core, isn't it? You're making everyone jealous!” laughed another member of the Alien Clan, who had a pair of horns protruding from his head. He swung the nearly two-meter-long war blade in his hand and viciously cleaved into a beast covered in scales.

“It's just good luck!” Moxi glanced at the other, smiling as he said, “By the way, Xilin, when you chased down that group of human examinees earlier, you must have gained quite an advantage, right? Your pass rating must have increased by at least one level, huh?”

“Not at all, they were so weak. I killed five of them, and my pass rating only went up by 78%. I reckon I need to kill another two or three for a significant increase!” Xilin shook his head. The war blade in his hand suddenly burst with a crimson vigor, splitting the beast with decent defense in half.

After searching the beast's corpse and finding no inner core, Xilin cursed softly and stood up, looking toward the depths of the stone forest.

“Moxi, are you really going to give up the main quest to explore this ruin and complete this gold side quest?” Xilin stared at the stone forest for a while, then turned to look at Moxi and asked.

“Of course!” A passionate look appeared in Moxi's eyes as he said to Xilin, “Failing the main quest just means redoing the assessment in three months, but gold side quests are rare opportunities that can't be found just anywhere. Not every time will one come across it, so when it does appear, you have to grab it with both hands…”

“It's a pity, though. If you'd completed the gold side quest and then the main quest, your valley rating would have increased by at least two levels…” Xilin's eyes showed a tinge of regret.

“Haha, since we've decided to complete the gold side quest, let's not be greedy. We're down to just over twenty people, and it's already a stretch to complete the gold side quest. If we still think about the main quest, we might end up failing both in the end!” Moxi laughed.

“Hmph, with those human weaklings, they might not even complete their main quest by the time we finish the gold side quest!” Xilin snorted coldly.

“If that's the case, then we'll just cut them off from behind, and by then, we won't let them have the main quest at all!” Moxi laughed out loud, brandishing his long spear as he continued to charge into the stone forest at the ever-emerging beasts.

Elsewhere, Doya was leading several human race examinees, awkwardly hiding behind a huge boulder.

“One, two, three, …” Doya looked around, counting the remaining human race examinees. There were only five left. Recalling the roguish manner of hunting the Alien examinees earlier and then the way Teer had willingly sacrificed himself to protect her, grief and anger filled Doya's heart, and tears uncontrollably fell.
