I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Deepwater Crocodile Beast

The Lanscape Love Resort, strictly speaking, should be considered beyond the scope of the Doomsday City, and belongs to the suburban area. However, this place still falls within the range of the Protection Black Mist, and therefore is also regarded as a part of the Doomsday City;

The next day, Song Jian arrived at this place. It took him more than two hours to drive here from the City of Hope. Along the way, he passed through two Level 30 monster areas and was pursued for a while;

The entire resort looked desolate. On the left was a large villa area, from which came occasional howls of mutated zombies. On the right was a blue deepwater lake, with several yachts moored by the shore. These yachts, however, were already corroded beyond recognition, half sunk in the water and half leaning on the shore;

With exception of the villa area, the whole resort was eerily silent. It was as if it was a dead zone where not only monsters, but even ordinary small animals were absent;

Li Ke’er mentioned that powerful monsters lived in the lake. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Song Jian avoided the lake and walked around it. His goal was to check the valley Li Ke’er mentioned and see how many Sword Stones were there. If there were many, Song Jian could use these Sword Stones to set up a defensive Sword Formation. Even with his current strength, he could not set up one that harnesses the power of heaven and earth like the Qingyun Sword Array, but a simple defensive Sword Formation wouldn’t be a problem. If necessary, he could set up more, and win by numbers!

The valley Li Ke’er mentioned was on the opposite side of the lake. Song Jian spread his wings and flew up, but as he prepared to cross the lake, he suddenly felt a strong sense of caution. Almost subconsciously, he descended to the ground;

At this moment, a few violent ripples suddenly appeared on the lake, as if something was rolling around underneath.

“Is even the air a forbidden area?” Song Jian wondered. Although he didn’t have a chance to identify what kind of monster was in the lake or at what level, the warning he just felt signaled that continuing flying might pose a danger to his life!

“It seems I have to walk around the lake!” Song Jian shook his head.

This huge deepwater lake might contain countless monsters, and if they were disturbed, Song Jian might not be able to enter the valley even if he finds it.

Although Song Jian didn’t want to provoke any mishaps, he found himself at odds with the monster in the lake. In the middle of the deepwater lake, a giant crocodile over ten meters long, like a piece of weather-beaten driftwood, slowly rose from the bottom of the lake. Its eyes, half-submerged in water and glittering like lanterns, were fixated on Song Jian, who was swiftly passing by the shore.

Li Ke’er’s valley was less than five hundred meters away from him, and Song Jian could already see the giant rock at the valley entrance, resembling a rhinoceros;

“If it wasn’t for this rhinoceros-like rock, I wouldn’t have noticed anything even standing right at the valley entrance,” Song Jian stared carefully at the entrance for a while, finding no sight of it anywhere;

At this moment, Song Jian suddenly felt an almost invisible stare was fixated on him;

Song Jian’s body stiffened as he ran, but he quickly recovered. He laughed coldly in his heart; he came here for Sword Stones and didn’t want to cause trouble. If any monster lays eyes on him, he won’t back down. With all his equipment on in the game, Song Jian’s strength was top-tier even among all first-order Combat Power. He didn’t fear the first-order Combat Power elite bosses at all.

If he fought with those Sparta fighters now, one slash would drain one-third of their Vitality Points;

An explosion resounded in the sky just as Song Jian was about to reach the valley’s entrance;

Boom~

Numerous droplets of rain shot towards him like arrows, showering the area within tens of meters around him.

A huge figure by the lake quickly swam towards him and the moment it emerged onto the shore, the creature picked up speed. Like a heavy-duty tank, it rumblingly charged at Song Jian;

Deepwater Crocodile Beast (Elite), Level 35, First-Order Combat Power, Vitality Points: 12000/12000

A level thirty-five elite boss appeared. It seemed that this beast was proficient in Water Magic and its physical attacks were not weak either. At this moment, it was using a skill similar to a warrior’s charge;

Snowy Twilight!

Song Jian somersaulted backward and chopped down with his sword. In an instant, countless flakes of snow appeared accumulating heavily on the ground while snowflakes started to float in the air. The rain droplets flying towards him instantly turned into icicles and fell with a clinking sound. Even the huge crocodile rushing towards him got slowed down by the thick snow, making strenuous efforts to move its limbs and let out a painful howl.

Song Jian flicked his wrist, pointed his sword at the giant crocodile, and all the snowflakes rolled toward it, as if caught up in a whirlwind, they all surged towards the Deepwater Crocodile Beast;

Whizz Whizz Whizz~

All the snowflakes condensed into sharp thin blades as long as a finger, continuously leaving trails of sword wounds on this Deepwater Crocodile Beast’s surface. The health of this first-order combat power elite boss fell in steady numbers;

“It has a strong defense!” Song Jian was taken aback. The Snowflake Sword Qi could only leave white marks on the Deepwater Crocodile Beast’s surface and couldn’t break through its defense.

Song Jian had already noticed the first flaw of the Ten Thousand Facets Sword Technique. The first move, Snowy Twilight, could limit the target’s speed and lower its defense, but the attack was too scattered. If it was used against weaker monsters, it was as strong as a Mage’s Blizzard. But against a first-order combat power elite boss, these scattered attacks couldn’t even break its defense;

Thinking of this, Song Jian immediately retracted his sword and promptly changed his attack method;

Light Strike!

A dazzling golden Sword Qi slashed towards the Deepwater Crocodile Beast. With its speed greatly reduced, the crocodile could only withstand the blow head-on;

The golden Sword Qi directly hit one of the Deepwater Crocodile Beast’s front legs, immediately severing it;

The sound of the crocodile’s thick leg, larger than Song Jian’s body, breaking echoed in the air, followed by fresh blood gushing out like a fountain.

The Deepwater Crocodile Beast let out a terrible scream. It gave Song Jian a vicious look, and abruptly turned around and rushed back into the lake;

Song Jian was taken aback. Even though he had severely injured this Deepwater Crocodile Beast’s front leg, it had only lost less than a third of its Vitality Points. Why would it turn and flee so abruptly?

In the blink of an eye, the Deepwater Crocodile Beast had already entered the lake, and a trace of blood spread out on the lake surface. The crocodile quickly disappeared, and the lake surface became calm again.
