I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1386: Chapter 1388: Push Open Chapter 1386: Chapter 1388: Push Open The tomb chamber gradually quieted down, and King Smolahan, floating in mid-air, frowned upon seeing that the bodies of the dead examinees didn’t remain but instead turned into a beam of white light and fled.

However, he didn’t say anything. It wasn’t until all twelve Alien Clan examinees had been killed that he slowly descended from the air. With a gentle sweep of the battle halberd in his hand towards the ground, the remaining undead soldiers and phantom soldiers all turned into white sand that seeped into the ground, leaving behind only a pile of golden treasures and several dozen slain undead and phantom bodies.

King Smolahan’s ability couldn’t summon these soldiers infinitely. There was a summoning limit, and once these soldiers were killed, they wouldn’t immediately resurrect. Every hour, one soldier would automatically come back to life until all the slain soldiers were revived.

King Smolahan walked step by step towards the high platform with an expressionless face, as if a king was walking towards his throne.

Arriving in front of the coffin, King Smolahan gently removed the golden mask from his face, revealing a visage akin to that of a mummy, with wrinkled skin tightly clinging to his bones, devoid of any flesh, resembling a skull.

Gazing at the luxurious coffin before him, a complex and indescribable expression appeared on King Smolahan’s face. He couldn’t help but let out a sigh, “The empire has ultimately perished…”

Having said that, King Smolahan slowly climbed into the coffin and lay down, clutching the battle halberd tightly in his arms. The coffin lid, which had been moved aside, was also lifted by a mysterious force and placed on top of the coffin.

All was silent around them; if it weren’t for the several dozen undead soldiers’ bodies in the tomb chamber, nobody would have been able to tell that a fierce battle had taken place here!

…

Song Jian and Doya, along with a few others, were walking through the tomb, knowing that the Alien Clan had entered this place ahead of them, so they proceeded very cautiously and slowly, lest they fall into an ambush by Alien Clan examinees.

As they passed through a tomb chamber, they suddenly received a system prompt.

System: The hostile Alien Clan examinees have all perished, leaving the Assessment World. All opposing/neutral camp examinees, receive an upgrade of one tier in evaluation!

Upon seeing this system prompt, faces of Song Jian and the others showed a look of surprise.

“What did they encounter to be wiped out to the last man?” Doya couldn’t help exclaiming. She had personally experienced the strength of the Alien Clan examinees and knew just how formidable they were!

“The golden side task is indeed not that easy to complete!” Noya was also stunned, seemingly realizing something, and said in a low voice.

“It’s not just about the task of the ‘Blood of Gold’; it also involves the ‘Blood of Gold’ itself…” Patsha glanced at Doya and Noya, smirking, “Bite off only as much as you can chew. These people overestimated themselves and coveted treasures beyond their strength, so naturally, they met with no good end!”

Noya’s eyebrows twitched, feeling as though Patsha was speaking about him. He was ready to retort, but after glancing at Song Jian, he restrained himself.

“Everyone, be more careful. This place is far more dangerous than we imagined!” Song Jian looked at the others and reminded them.

Perhaps because of the complete annihilation of the Alien Clan examinees, a heavy weight seemed to press on the hearts of Doya and the rest, making the atmosphere suddenly somber.

Soon, the group arrived outside the King’s tomb chamber and saw the huge bronze gate. They all had a look of astonishment in their eyes.

“Indeed worthy of a king’s tomb, to be able to construct such a massive bronze gate within the tomb… it’s simply unimaginable…” Doya couldn’t help exclaiming, “But where did that group of Alien Clan examinees encounter the boss? Could it be they were wiped out before they even reached this place?”

“Why think so much about it? Let’s just go in and see. The ‘Blood of Gold’ might be inside the King’s tomb chamber…” Noya licked his lips, looked around, and took large strides towards the bronze gate.

Noya tried hard to push the bronze gate, but it didn’t budge an inch. Clearly, with his strength attribute, it was impossible for him to open it.

In fact, being unable to open the bronze gate was supposed to be one of the hidden filtering criteria of the golden side task. If one couldn’t even open the bronze gate, it was simply impossible to complete the task.

“Everybody, push together, this gate can’t be opened by one person alone!” Noya shouted loudly.

All of them stepped forward and exerted their full strength against the gate. At last, the bronze gate trembled slightly, revealing a thin crack.

“Phew, this gate, it must weigh at least a hundred tons. I really wonder how they managed to put it in place when building this tomb…” Noya wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered.

Just then, a cold wind suddenly blew from the crack in the gate, causing Noya to shudder. At the same time, the dazzling light emitted by the gold jewels seeped through the gap, making everyone’s vision blur for a moment.

“My God, there’s so much gold and jewelry!” Doya exclaimed excitedly and couldn’t resist squeezing through the crack in the gate.

“Let’s go in too,” Noya said, and without hesitation, he followed through the gap.

Patsha, however, stood next to Song Jian, waiting for his next command!

After pondering for a moment, Song Jian once again placed his hands on the bronze gate and, using all his strength, pushed hard against it.

Squeak~
A grating sound of friction rose, and the bronze gate trembled again, moving slowly backward.

Patsha watched Song Jian in astonishment. At this moment, bulging veins stood out on Song Jian’s forehead and arms; it was clear he had used all his strength.

“You, you can move this gate by yourself?” Patsha couldn’t help but exclaim.

It was known that this gate required the combined strength of at least ten second-tier peak combatants to be pushed open, which was also the minimum number of people required to complete the golden side mission.

Although Patsha didn’t know the specific number required, he understood that this bronze gate definitely couldn’t be opened by one person alone.

“Superhuman strength?” Patsha asked with a puzzled look.

“Heh, not bad!” Song Jian stopped to wipe off his sweat and smiled.

With his current strength attribute, fully opening the gate was still a bit too much for him.

With this thought, Song Jian opened the Pet Space and directly summoned the stone creature Gulu. The burly Gulu appeared, immediately imposing a strong sense of oppression on Patsha, who involuntarily stepped back several paces.

“Gulu, push open this gate!” Song Jian commanded.

Gulu sized up the partially opened bronze gate, extended his hands, and pressed firmly against it.

Boom~
A loud thunderous noise even startled Doya and Noya inside the tomb chamber. They turned their heads, eyes wide with shock as they watched Gulu slowly pushing the bronze gate open, their mouths agape, at a loss for words.
