I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1405

Chapter 1405: Chapter 1407: The Chance to Leave Chapter 1405: Chapter 1407: The Chance to Leave “These people, all of them were tourists who boarded the ship before, and they can actually hold on for so long?” Song Jian looked around in surprise. If everyone had to endure the kind of monster attacks he had, most of them would have died long ago, it simply wouldn't be possible for so many to still be hanging on.

However, after watching for a while, Song Jian found that the monsters these people were facing were not all the same in strength; some of the skeleton monsters on the decks were only at level eighty or ninety, some around level one hundred, and the speed of the skeleton warriors emerging from the cabins also varied. Some cabins released only one or two skeleton warriors at a time, while on the Ghost Ship that Song Jian was on, a breath's time could release more than a dozen skeleton monsters, which simply could not compare.

A curious expression suddenly appeared on Song Jian's face as he thought to himself, “Could it be that the faster I kill, the greater the pressure I face?”

He then suddenly remembered that the skeleton warriors started to transform only after he had killed all the skeletons on the deck with one strike.

Song Jian couldn't help but slap his forehead. Since advancing to the third tier of combat power, it seemed that for everything he encountered, he only thought of using brute force. In reality, with such a simple mechanism, he could have discovered its secrets just by observing for a few minutes, but Song Jian didn't care and was solely focused on annihilating all the skeleton warriors, resulting in increasingly strong and fast-emerging warriors!

Crack~
Just then, a crisp cracking sound suddenly came from the deck. Song Jian turned his head and saw that under the siege of the Golden Sacred Lion and the Golden Giant Gulu, the Skeleton Commander boss finally couldn't withstand the attacks and died, Vitality Points depleted, with white jade-like Bone Powder scattered everywhere.

After killing the enemy, the Golden Sacred Lion, like a lion king inspecting its territory, patrolled around the deck and the cabin doorway, then transformed back into countless Sword Qi and disappeared. However, that wisp of chaotic Sword Qi didn't vanish; instead, it slithered into Song Jian's body like a small snake, traveling along his meridians to his dantian, where it calmed down just like the other Sword Qi and didn't disappear.

Song Jian didn't pay it any mind. There had been times when chaotic Sword Qi hadn't dissipated after use before and had entered his dantian. However, each time the chaotic Sword Qi couldn't stay in his dantian for long before it would dissipate on its own since Song Jian's strength was too weak, and his physical constitution couldn't bear the chaotic Sword Qi for too long. Once it sensed that it was burdening Song Jian's body, the chaotic Sword Qi would dissipate by itself, showing no signs of a Devouring Master.

After killing the Skeleton Commander boss, no more skeletons appeared inside the cabin. The cabin doors stood wide open, dark and ominous, emitting a chilling breath.

Song Jian was very satisfied with the battle. The Golden Giant Gulu's defense was unparalleled, greatly improved from that of the stone people; the Skeleton Commander's bone spears could instantly kill a Holy Spirit Warrior with a single jab, and yet they couldn't even scratch Gulu's defense. The Sacred Lion Demon-binding Seal was also surprisingly effective; against a commanding peak level boss, it managed to dominate with speed, and even with bosses of legendary quality, the Sacred Lion Demon-binding Seal formation could contend with them to some extent, a significant aid.

The only thing that dissatisfied Song Jian was that these skeleton warriors, even after the Skeleton Commander was killed, not only did they not provide any combat experience, but they also didn't drop any loot, which left Song Jian feeling somewhat frustrated.

The instant the Skeleton Commander was killed, all the skeleton monsters on the decks of the spectral Ghost Ships seemed to have hit a pause button, stopping all their actions. Then “crash crash,” the sound of shattering resonated continuously as all skeletons crumbled on their own, disintegrating into countless pieces of Bone Powder that merged with the Ghost Ships.

Subsequently, the numerous Ghost Ships began to attract each other and converge. Song Jian also felt the space-time around him begin to fluctuate slightly. His perception was compressed to within his body, and when he tried to extend his sensing out again, he found it impossible to leave his body no matter how hard he tried.

After a slight dizzying sensation, Song Jian felt stable again and opened his eyes only to discover that everyone had, once again, returned to the previous ghost ship.

However, this time a third of the people were missing from the deck, which was covered in bloodstains and corpses. These corpses were the once-living passengers who had exhausted their strength in the relentless siege of skeleton warriors and ultimately perished.

Besides these bodies, many others were seriously injured, their bodies riddled with scars and soaked in blood. Some had even sustained severe injuries like amputated arms or legs; a moment later, and they too would have become corpses. They had narrowly escaped with their lives.

“Hehehe, so many people still alive. I thought at least half would be dead this time!” The Skeleton Captain Swo appeared before everyone at some unknown point.

Almost everyone glared at it with anger, but Song Jian was shocked. He had not seen Captain Swo on the deck before. The moment before Swo spoke, Song Jian hadn't sensed its presence. It suddenly appeared on the deck the instant it spoke, creating a strange feeling in Song Jian that was very uncomfortable, like his mind was in disarray.

“You were lucky this time. A powerful passenger took out the Jade Bone Skeleton Commander ahead of time, ending the endless hunt prematurely. Otherwise, who knows how many more of you would have died,” Captain Swo, with dark red flames in his eye sockets, stared intently at the injured people and let out another taunting, cold laugh.

At that moment, Song Jian realized the ghost ship had already sailed out into the open sea, surrounded by endless waters. Leaving now seemed like an impossibility.

“Sniff, sniff, this place is too terrifying. I want to go back; I don't want to stay here anymore!” A young NPC threw down their longsword and sat on the deck, crying loudly.

The others also looked disheartened, regretting their impulsive decision to board this ship. While boarding came without restrictions, leaving was evidently not so easy.

“The endless hunt before was just an appetizer; the main course is still waiting for you, hehe~” Captain Swo seemed delighted to see everyone's horrified expressions and laughed loudly, “But the merciful Captain Swo will give you a chance to disembark. In half an hour, we will pass by an island; anyone who doesn't wish to continue on the apocalyptic cruise will have an opportunity to leave as we near that island. This is the only chance to change your mind. Once we leave that island, unless you safely make it through the seven-day voyage, there will be no more chances to leave the apocalyptic cruise!”

Upon hearing there was a chance to leave, most people became excited. Some couldn't hold back their cheers, and even those with serious injuries showed a hint of relief on their faces.

“Can it really be that simple?” Song Jian's face revealed a trace of doubt as he scrutinized Captain Swo, but it was impossible to read anything from the skeleton's face.

“Now, I will distribute your rewards for completing the endless hunt. I hope you like them!” Captain Swo suddenly said. Everyone was stunned; they hadn't expected any rewards. Their interest was piqued, and they all turned to look at Captain Swo.
