I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1414

Chapter 1414: Chapter 1416: The Charred Wood Ripper Chapter 1414: Chapter 1416: The Charred Wood Ripper “Human, please leave this forest as quickly as possible; you are not welcome here!”

The words of the emerald giant snake sparked a flash of realization in Song Jian's mind. He suddenly remembered that the elf had said something similar before, the reason they attacked him was that he destroyed over a dozen ancient trees in the Life Forest when he crashed.

“It seems that this forest holds a special status and meaning in the hearts of these creatures!”, Song Jian thought to himself.

“Of course, in reality, I'm a pacifist, and I don't like to destroy the environment either!” Song Jian spread his hands wide, saying loudly, but the spirit sword that burned with dark red flames beside him did not disappear.

“You destroyed thirteen life trees and yet you dare to call yourself a pacifist?” Elf Los asked with a face full of mockery.

“That was just an accident!” Song Jian turned his head, staring at the elf as he said, “I'm just a traveler who got lost and ended up in this forest by mistake. I didn't mean to destroy the ancient trees!”

Elf Los let out a cold laugh, ready to retort, when the giant snake interrupted him.

“Human, you are not welcomed here. Please leave the Life Forest as soon as possible!” The giant snake moved its body slowly, speaking in a deep voice.

The giant snake's eyes were like lanterns, radiating an endless purple glow. Its widely open mouth stretched 180 degrees, and within it, fangs sharp as daggers gleamed with a chill, likely frightening an ordinary person to death on sight.

Hearing its words, Song Jian did not refuse and slowly began to step backward, appearing ready to leave. Seeing his actions, Elf Los actually breathed a sigh of relief and voluntarily put away his war bow.

“Slate Lin, are you really going to let him off so easily? He is a human after all. If he leaves, he might bring even more people here next time!” Kaslo the Spider, however, seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

Hearing this, Song Jian's heart grew tense, and he gripped his Sky-breaking Sword even tighter.

“Kaslo, you have witnessed his strength. Are you confident you can kill him without causing more harm to the Life Forest?” The giant snake suddenly turned its head to stare at Kaslo in a low voice.

A smile appeared on the corner of Song Jian's mouth. If he unleashed Thousand Swords Art in full force to form the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, he was confident he could destroy the forest within several kilometers radius.

But that move would be one of mutual destruction. Should he resort to it, he would undoubtedly be hunted relentlessly by his enemies to the death.

Kaslo glanced at the flames emanating from the spirit swords around Song Jian with wariness, snorted coldly, and said no more. In truth, Kaslo also coveted Song Jian's Red Lotus Karma Fire; he knew that ordinary flames could hardly damage the ancient trees of the Life Forest–it was only special flames like the Red Lotus Karma Fire that could harm it.

Song Jian chuckled softly, continuing to step backward. The spirit swords around him seemed to escort a sovereign, retreating slowly as Song Jian moved back.

Three Legendary Realm creatures watched Song Jian until he vanished from sight.

“Slate Lin, I know you fear his capabilities, but by letting him go like this, you will regret it in the future!” Elf Los turned his head to stare at the emerald serpent, speaking softly.

Without waiting for the serpent to respond, Elf Los lightly tapped his foot and bounded from tree to tree, disappearing into the distance.

“That's an interesting human, I look forward to our next encounter, giggle~” Kaslo covered her mouth with her hand, giggling flirtatiously before slowly stepping backward, her numerous spiders retreating with her like a receding tide.

“Human, I hope you don't disappoint me!” Everyone else had left, leaving only the emerald giant snake, eyes fixed on the spot where Song Jian had disappeared, speaking to itself.

Once the three Legendary Realm creatures were no longer within his perception range, Song Jian finally took a deep breath, dispelling the surrounding Spirit Swords, as maintaining their existence also required a significant consumption of Mental Strength.

“Phew, this place is truly terrifying. If it weren't for the Red Lotus Karma Fire, I might have really died here…” Song Jian wiped away his cold sweat, muttering softly.

Song Jian needed to survive here for seven weeks, then wait to be recalled by the Doomsday Cruise. If he could make it through, he should be able to receive a nice reward. Moreover, if he took the time to search carefully at this temporal node, he could also gain considerable advantages. But upon entering, he had encountered three creatures of the Legendary Realm and nearly perished. Now, all Song Jian wanted was to find a place to rest properly.

Life Forest was vast and boundless, and there seemed to be restrictions in the sky as well. When Song Jian used Sword Flight Art, he could only ascend a little over two hundred meters before he couldn't go any higher. Nonetheless, this height didn't hinder his travel. After flying for two days and nights, Song Jian finally reached the edge of Life Forest.

At the edge of Life Forest lay a burnt wasteland, seemingly testament to a massive forest fire. Charred tree trunks were everywhere, the air was filled with a pungent smell, and all around was deathly silence, devoid of any sign of life.

Seeing this scene, Song Jian also understood why the three Legendary Realm creatures had such a deep loathing and intense disdain for the destruction of ancient trees, especially since he himself wielded the Red Lotus Karma Fire, bringing with it both wariness and revulsion.

“It looks like this area was once part of Life Forest too, only to be destroyed by a wildfire!” Song Jian thought to himself.

Just then, a charred tree trunk, now only five or six meters tall, began to tremble suddenly. The ground around it churned as thick roots emerged from the earth, converging with one another. In a short time, a charred tree person stood before Song Jian.

“Focused Wood Wrecker (Carbonized Wood Elemental), Level: 110, Lord-level Boss, Vitality Points: 3.2 million”
Song Jian raised his eyebrows, thinking, “There's no sign of life here; could it be that all the creatures have been burnt to death, and even the ancient trees have turned into these Carbonized Wood Elementals?”

It was clear that the formidable creature in front of him had lost its self-awareness and had become a monster driven only by the instinct to kill. It let out a low growl, and a right hand completely made of branches extended violently towards Song Jian.

There had been a distance of five or six meters between the creature and Song Jian, but in an instant, countless finger-thick branches shot towards Song Jian's face like tendrils.

Song Jian was startled and quickly retreated, evading the attack.

Twack twack twack~
A sound like a sudden downpour rang out; the spot where Song Jian had been standing–within a three-meter radius–was now enveloped by the branches, which were like metal spears plunging into the black soil.

Boom~
The sound of an explosion echoed as fragments of soil were ejected in all directions, some scraping across Song Jian's face and leaving behind streaks of blood.

The branches trembled fiercely and were retracted by the Focused Wood Wrecker, leaving behind a gigantic crater in the ground.

“The attack range is around six meters, and the damage is also considerable, plus there's an areof-effect…” Song Jian wiped the blood from his cheek, assessing the specific power of the monster before him in his mind.
