I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 725

Chapter 725: Chapter 725: Underwater Palace

Song Jian swam to the place where he had seen the spatial rift light flash earlier and began to investigate carefully;

If he hadn’t noticed it before, it would’ve been very difficult to detect any abnormalities around him, considering the vast lakebed. It would be practically impossible to see any clues within a short time, but knowing the specific location now made the search much easier;

Soon, Song Jian felt a faint aura of a formation. This aura was extremely weak, and the surrounding lake water was constantly flowing. If Song Jian didn’t know the exact location and investigate carefully for a long time, it would be very difficult to discover its existence;

Song Jian slowly walked across the lakebed, his steps appearing rather mysterious. Often after taking two steps forward, he would step back towards the left rear or right rear, then spin around and jump onto a protruding rock, and then leap down from the back of the rock, appearing as if he’s moving along an extremely narrow path.

In no time, Song Jian’s figure suddenly “whooshed” and disappeared from the lakebed;

“Made it in!” Song Jian looked around and a joyful smile appeared on his face;

There was indeed a large formation at the bottom of the lake, but it was only a concealment and defensive formation, without any offensive effects. Perhaps due to some reasons, the offensive part of the formation had already failed;

The most important thing was that this formation had existed for too long, and many parts had already been damaged. Otherwise, Song Jian wouldn’t have discovered it so easily;

When entering the formation, Song Jian felt it even more clearly. He could distinctly sense the flow of aura within the formation, and he caught a glimpse of the content of this formation, which could greatly help improve his sword formation;

“Truly amazing. Not only does the Assessment World have sword formations, but so does the game world!” After entering the space, Song Jian looked around with an admiring expression on his face;

Looking up, Song Jian found himself in a vast space. The entire space seemed to be covered by a transparent bowl, shielding it from the surrounding lake water;

However, this transparent bowl seemed to have some damage, and occasionally it flickered with rays of light, revealing spatial rifts. These spatial rifts appeared and disappeared quickly, as if the entire formation was constantly repairing itself.

Just then, a dozen meters away from Song Jian, a damaged spatial rift light flashed and disappeared. Subsequently, a two-meter-tall Water Elemental BOSS appeared in the space. As soon as it entered the space, it detected Song Jian’s presence and growled at him, then quickly ran away;

Below the Water Elemental BOSS’s waist was not a pair of legs, but a mass of constantly flowing water, allowing it to move very fast. Song Jian had an idea and hurriedly followed the Water Elemental BOSS closely.

In no time, Song Jian saw a palace buried deep underground. One-third of the palace was sunk into the ground, with the remaining two-thirds exposed above the surface, surrounded by broken bricks and tiles, looking desolate;

The Water Elemental BOSS rushed into the palace and never came out again. Song Jian waited for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea and finally went to the palace, unable to resist his curiosity;

After leaping down from the broken gate, Song Jian looked around. Being buried underground made the surroundings a bit dim, but there was a dazzling light deep in the palace, flickering on and off;

Song Jian charged towards the light and, before he got close, heard a roar. The Water Elemental BOSS was guarding the entrance, trying to prevent Song Jian from going in;

At the moment, the Water Elemental BOSS seemed to have grown even larger compared to when it first entered. It had grown at least a foot taller, and its upper body, which was originally made of rolling water, now displayed strong and muscular lines;

“It seems the treasure I’m looking for is inside!” Song Jian was overjoyed and immediately drew the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, charging towards the Water Elemental BOSS blocking the entrance;

Seeing Song Jian rushing towards it, the Water Elemental BOSS’s face showed anger. The human who interrupted its promotion actually dared to attack first, making it furious;

The Water Elemental BOSS rubbed its two hands together continuously, and within a second, a Frost Arrow had formed in its palm. With a “whoosh” sound, it shot towards Song Jian;

Song Jian tried to dodge, but the Frost Arrow seemed to have a tracking function, constantly adjusting its flight path during its journey, drawing an arc in the air and striking Song Jian’s chest;

Boom!

A muffled sound echoed as a powerful force hit Song Jian’s body. His momentum slowed, and his entire body was covered in a thin layer of light blue frost, causing his movement speed to drop by 50%

“500 damage?” Song Jian was shocked. His current Fire Resistance and Ice Resistance had already reached a high level. Moreover, he was wearing a full Gold-quality set. The combined set’s attributes made the equipment comparable to Epic-quality items. Usually, he could resist or only suffer single-digit damage from Elemental magic attacks, but now, a single ordinary Frost Arrow caused him to lose 500 damage points;

“If it were an ordinary player, they might have been killed instantly by this attack!” Song Jian couldn’t help but marvel, becoming cautious;

Sutset snow!

With a swipe of the sword, snowflakes danced around the palace, and a thick layer of snow covered the ground. A cold chill ran up the Water Elemental BOSS’s body, and in no time, the Water Elemental transformed into a huge block of ice;

Crack~

Just as Song Jian was about to swing his sword to break the frozen Water Elemental BOSS, cracks appeared on its surface. A huge Ice Elemental BOSS appeared before Song Jian;

Bang!

The sword chopped down on the already frozen Water Elemental BOSS, leaving behind a white mark, and ice shards scattered around. Song Jian also felt a strong rebound force;

Whoosh~

The Water Elemental BOSS swung its huge fist and smashed it towards Song Jian. The frozen Water Elemental BOSS, its body harder than steel, hit Song Jian like a heavy hammer, sending him flying away.

“Damn it, it backfired. Now its defense increased dramatically, and its attacks seem even more powerful too.” Song Jian rolled on the ground twice before spitting out a mouthful of blood. He stared at the Water Elemental BOSS charging towards him with a gloomy look in his eyes.
