I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1415

Chapter 1415: Chapter 1417: The Guidance of Destiny Chapter 1415: Chapter 1417: The Guidance of Destiny The Charred Wood Ripper, a level 100+ lord-level BOSS with extremely high defense and resistance, also boasts a fierce attack. For an ordinary player to deal with it, it would take a team of ten players of at least the same level.

Song Jian snorted coldly, preparing to draw his sword for battle, but suddenly felt the ground around him shaking continuously. One by one, the ancient trees that had been burned to charcoal seemed to come back to life. As far as the eye could see, whether they were only two meters high or still retained seven or eight meters tall trunks, the ground started trembling around them. Countless roots pulled out of the soil, intertwining and forming thick thighs, transforming into creatures like the Charred Wood Rippers.

“So, so many…” Song Jian's eyes widened as he looked around. Thousands of dead trees all began to tremble, turning into Charred Wood Rippers, some of which stood seven or eight meters tall and even became level 120 dominion-level BOSSes–the Furious Charred Wood Overlords.

The vast horde of monsters leisurely encircled Song Jian. It was simply impossible for him alone to kill them all.

“Damn it!” Song Jian's expression immediately turned ugly. Even if he had to escape, he couldn't just run away like this. With a thought, countless Spirit Swords engulfed in flames floated in the air, sweeping toward those Charred Wood Monsters like a torrential downpour.

Boom, boom, boom~
A barrage of explosions resounded, and the ground looked as if it had been bombarded by missiles, gaping with one crater after another, sinking three feet deep.

He had thought that such a powerful Thousand Swords Art would kill hundreds of these BOSS Charred Wood Monsters, but unexpectedly, after the bombardment, Song Jian did not receive a single kill notification.

“The defense and fire-resistance of these monsters exceed imagination…” Song Jian looked forward in shock, finding that the most any of the monsters' Vitality Points had been reduced was by half, with most only losing about a third of their Vitality Points. It seemed the power of the Thousand Swords Art was suppressed to the minimum against them.

Roar~
The Golden Sacred Lion beside him let out an angry roar, looking eager to leap into action. Song Jian slowly retreated backward, behind him lay the vast and vibrant Life Forest.

Song Jian had already noticed that these Charred Wood Monsters seemed to fear the Life Forest, daring not to step into it. There was a very clear dividing line between the Life Forest and the scorched earth!

Seeing Song Jian preparing to flee, several towering Charred Wood Overlords let out a loud roar. Their stout arms plunged into the scorched earth vigorously, causing the soil to churn as if giant pythons were rolling and moving beneath the surface, rushing toward Song Jian's position at high speed.

Boom, boom, boom~
Song Jian tapped the ground with his foot; his figure retreated rapidly, moving back five or six meters in an instant. Just at that moment, the spot where he had just been standing suddenly erupted with countless branch-like limbs, each as thick as an arm, from the scorched earth, gleaming with a metal-like sheen like spears.

This move was almost an exact copy of the earth-type magic spell, Earth Spikes.

However, with the speed of Song Jian and the Golden Sacred Lion, this move had little effect on them. But as more and more Charred Wood Overlords used this move, the space for Song Jian and the Golden Sacred Lion to dodge became increasingly limited. Eventually, Song Jian was forced to take refuge by entering the Shattered Divine Realm. Moments later, when he emerged, the Golden Sacred Lion had vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

And on this expanse of scorched earth, the dense “spears” protruding from the soil resembled a forest, enveloping an area of hundreds of meters in a radius.

“Even if the Golden Sacred Lion is fast, it's impossible to completely dodge such a wide-range attack!” Song Jian thought to himself. At this moment, he had lost contact with the Sacred Lion Demon-binding Seal, and that thread of chaotic Sword Qi had also dissipated into the air.

But taking this opportunity, Song Jian retreated into the Life Forest. Separated by a row of ancient trees, Song Jian saw that these fierce burnt wood creatures seemed to have lost their target. Their speed in surrounding him slowed, and eventually, they all stopped and reverted back into withered ancient trees.

“What on earth happened here? How could there be so many withered ancient trees…” Song Jian wondered inwardly.

At this time, he could neither retreat due to the presence of three Legendary Realm creatures within the Life Forest, nor advance given the numerous burnt wood creatures ahead of him. With his strength, he could not carve a bloody path to escape. For a moment, Song Jian found himself trapped in the same spot, unsure of what to do next.

Standing still, he rested for a while then began to slowly explore along the boundary line between the Life Forest and the scorched earth. This was the only thing he could do now.

In a place unseen by Song Jian, a pair of eyes emitting purple light was closely watching his every move.

“Slate, you seem very interested in this human…” A spider the size of a fist, always following beside the verdant giant snake Slate, spoke with the voice of the spider-creature Kaslo.

“You don't understand. He carries a scent that doesn't belong to our world; he is not from our world…” Slate spoke softly.

“Not from our world? An otherworldly traveler?” Kaslo exclaimed in surprise.

“Indeed, perhaps through him, we could find a way to restore the Life Forest. I have a premonition that he will definitely bring us a surprise!” Slate said, tongue flickering in anticipation.

“Slate, you're too naive. These otherworldly travelers are extremely indifferent. Plus, after the battle with us earlier, even if he could help, he most likely wouldn't. What's more important is, how could a human who hasn't even reached the Legendary Realm possibly help us…” Kaslo said contemptuously, “It would be better to drive him into the Demon Cave, let him bring us some useful supplies from there, delay the forest's decline, and let us live a little longer!”

“We don't need to do anything. The guidance of fate will naturally lead him to do what he must…” The verdant giant snake murmured mysteriously.

“But looking at the direction he is heading, it seems he is going to the Silent Stone Forest. I've heard that the Paso Fruit Tree there is about to bear fruit. Right now, that group of giant lizard dragon-folk must be on edge. When they meet him, hehe…” Kaslo let out a strange chuckle.

“If he is killed by the giant lizard dragon-folk, then it means he is not the one guided by fate, and we no longer need to pay him any attention…” the verdant giant snake said softly. “But if he manages to survive, it would mean that the radiance of fate has begun to shine on him, and the hope for the Life Forest would also rest upon him!”

“Charlatan…” Kaslo muttered displeasedly and began to control the spider to back away. The verdant giant snake leisurely moved its body, following Song Jian at an unhurried pace. In the Life Forest, if it didn't wish to be discovered, even passing by close to someone wouldn't draw any attention. Meanwhile, Song Jian was completely unaware that less than ten meters behind him, a giant snake was closely trailing him.
