I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1518

Chapter 1518: Chapter 1920: Survive Chapter 1518: Chapter 1920: Survive A barbarian's face emerged in the sky, spanning thousands of feet in length, nearly crossing the entire Bloody Arena zone. Its eyes spewed flames of rage as it let out a fury-filled roar towards the earth.

At that moment, Song Jian was hiding underground, desperately fleeing towards the tomb. Although he did not know what was happening, he could feel that once he surfaced, he would immediately face an overwhelming catastrophe.

A barely perceptible divine consciousness swept across the land within the Bloody Arena, seemingly in search of something. After the thunder, this consciousness acted like a fence, again and again, filtering through all the creatures on the land.

When encountering barbarians, this consciousness was like a warm breeze, but upon meeting outsiders, it instantly became a lethal weapon. With a single pass, the bodies of outsiders from the Legendary Realm immediately stiffened and then slowly turned to ash.

“A deity-level powerhouse – this is the effect of a full-force spell cast in anger by a deity-level powerhouse!” Song Jian felt shocked inside. He hadn't expected that in this Bloody Arena zone, there actually existed a barbarian deity-level powerhouse.

At this time, a giant over thirty feet tall with bronze-toned skin appeared above the barbarian tribe's palace. This barbarian had seven heads and twelve arms, each limb wielding bizarrely shaped weapons: some resembled lightning, others were like balls of flame, some appeared to be giant rocks, and some were like thick, robust trees.

The barbarian's face was filled with rage. His killing intent had become tangible, his Vitality surged like a mighty river, spreading in all directions!

With a roar, all the barbarians knelt in terror, praying loudly, while the guards inside the palace seemed to receive orders and began swarming out of the palace.

Large groups of barbarian cavalry began sweeping through the entire region. They treated any outsider they saw with a ferocity that suggested they would not rest until their foes were completely destroyed.

Groups of Demi-God Level Holy Children and maidens had just recovered from the assault of the Thunderbolt Sword, and now, it seemed as if all the barbarians in the region had erupted in revolt. Even the weakest among them, upon seeing an outsider, would charge with faces full of hatred and cling to their legs, viciously biting them.

Under such frenzied attacks, the number of outsiders dwindled more and more. At last, in Song Jian's mind, along with his points, another number appeared.

It was a countdown. It started at nine hundred and ninety-nine, but as time passed, the number on it decreased bit by bit.

Half an hour passed, and the number had shrunk to four hundred and twenty.

Song Jian felt a chill in his heart. He knew that this number represented the remaining contestants in the Bloody Arena. Originally, there were over ten thousand contenders who entered this zone, but in just a few days, it had reduced to just over four hundred.

“Most of them are probably because of me…” A bitter smile appeared on Song Jian's face.

The divine consciousness of the deity-level powerhouse swept over the earth time and time again, yet it never detected the trace of the Life and Death Grass. It was known that its divine consciousness left an imprint on the Life and Death Grass. No matter how far the thief who stole it could flee instantly, they could not escape its tracking. However, now the Life and Death Grass had vanished without a trace, angering the sole deity-level barbarian immensely.

The bag inventory of a player is an otherworldly dimension established by the system. Once an item is placed within, it becomes disconnected from the space it was in. Unless the system does not allow an item to be placed there, once able to enter the bag inventory, the imprint on the Life and Death Grass would be utterly severed. No matter how many times the deity-level barbarian investigated, they would not detect it.

Otherwise, no matter where Song Jian placed the Life and Death Grass, even if he swallowed it, it would be sensed by that god-like figure.

Along the way, the thunder roared outside, barbarian hooves thundered, and the remaining two hundred plus people dared not fight each other anymore. Each relied on their own abilities and hid themselves away.

With extreme caution, Song Jian took more than twice the time to reach the depression where the tomb was located. Now, less than three hours remained until the task was complete.

As soon as he approached the tomb, Song Jian felt a blur before his eyes, and his body turned into a flash of white light and disappeared.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the underground hall he had entered two days ago.

The towering divine statue, the altar with torches burning, and the two foreign Holy Children turned into mummies… Everything was almost exactly the same as two days before.

What Song Jian didn't know was that twenty kilometers away from the tomb, a group of barbarian cavalry riding giant beasts was heading straight towards the direction of the tomb.

In the sky, a hand that obscured the sun and sky slowly took shape within the clouds, its target being the tomb in the depression that only showed its spire.

After the Life and Death Grass went missing, the barbarian's god-like figure had already foreseen where it might appear. He not only sent out the barbarian cavalry but also made a move himself, trying to take back the Life and Death Grass.

Song Jian stood in front of the divine statue and took the Life and Death Grass out of his inventory slot. He was preparing to place it on the altar when suddenly, there was a “crack” from the brow of the statue.

Song Jian looked up, and chunks of stone shell fell from the darkness above. Startled, he quickly dodged backward.

“You've done well!” The statue, shedding its outer shell, suddenly came to life, and a voice like thunder sounded in midair.

“It's alive, the statue is actually alive!” Song Jian was shocked, now noticing a sprout of life slowly blooming from inside the statue. It was as if a young shoot had just broken through the soil and, once nourished by rain and sunlight, would grow rapidly.

With a swing of its massive hand, the divine statue grabbed the Life and Death Grass from the altar and burst into hearty laughter.

At that moment, a giant praying mantis creature, unnoticed until now, appeared at the feet of the statue. Its compound eyes focused on Song Jian for a long while, nodded at him, and then quickly leaped onto the statue's body, climbing onto its shoulder!
