I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1429: Chapter 1431: The Final Reward Chapter 1429: Chapter 1431: The Final Reward The Force of Death possessed an extremely strong erosive power that could erode not only the flesh but also the mind and soul. Therefore, players who took up professions like Necromancer would inevitably transform themselves into undead beings, without exception.

However, now, Song Jian had discovered on someone a perfect fusion of the Force of Death with the life force, indistinguishable from each other and without the slightest sign of erosion.

Maybe sensing Song Jian’s gaze, Guo Zhiqi turned his head and showed Song Jian a simple and honest smile, then took out a black pill from his inventory and swallowed it.

Song Jian was taken aback. That meatball, with its somewhat peculiar color, was full of the Force of Death. If an ordinary person dared to put it in their mouth, no, even if they just touched it, they would turn into an undead being due to the Force of Death’s infection!

But the person in front of him had simply thrown it into his mouth and even showed a look of enjoyment on his face, which completely overturned Song Jian’s previous knowledge!

After waiting for a while, no more passengers returned to the Ghost Ship, and at this point, Captain Swo seemed to have also come to his senses, staring at the six returning passengers and saying, “Lucky ones, I trust you’ve all obtained what you wanted. Congratulations, now it’s time for you to receive your rewards!”

Having said this, the whole Ghost Ship began to vibrate, and streams of light appeared above the deck, constantly dancing around the six passengers.

“Hahaha, the final rewards are these, these streams of light are condensed from Purple Crystal essences. They come in different colors, and the deeper the color, the more Purple Crystal essence they contain. How much you’ll gain will depend on your skill!” Captain Swo laughed heartily.

The Purple Crystal essences within these streams of light were actually the result of each passenger’s monster hunting at the time-space nodes. The Ghost Ship had actually taken a portion, releasing only about seventy percent.

This was akin to a team hunting monsters, with the spoils ultimately divided among a few people. These individuals naturally had a huge advantage, but how much one gained still depended on their own skill.

Song Jian’s eyes brightened. After his level had increased to over a hundred, every level up required the hunting of a vast number of monsters or acquiring a large amount of Purple Crystals. Sometimes, Song Jian even wanted to return to that Purple Crystal mine for another plunder, but most of the Purple Crystals there had been devoured by the Abyssal Magic Vine, leaving only scraps. Besides, with the Abyssal humans guarding it, the effort wasn’t worth the reward, so Song Jian eventually gave up the idea.

Now, with the opportunity to quickly increase his level before him, Song Jian naturally wouldn’t pass it up, and he targeted a stream of light nearest to him and reached out to grab it.

But these streams of light were like slippery fish; the moment Song Jian’s fingers touched them, they twisted as though startled and quickly slipped away from his fingertips.

The other five were no less determined, all making grabs for the streams of light, but several minutes passed and not one person managed to catch any.

The seemingly clumsy actions of these people caused the skeletal crew to burst into laughter. It seemed to be a standard entertainment on the Ghost Ship. Although the passengers felt frustrated, they had no choice but to try even harder to catch the streams of light.

Just then, Guo Zhiqi suddenly pulled a string of green candied hawthorns from his bosom and waved it at one of the streams of light. The stream that had already escaped his grasp paused suddenly, and there was even a tendency for the stream to be attracted to the hawthorns, as if wanting to fly towards them.

A flash of joy appeared on Guo Zhiqi’s face, and he quickly grabbed the stream of light in his hand, laughing heartily.

Soon the pale yellow stream of light, upon being caught by Guo Zhiqi, rapidly fused with him, and in no time it had completely integrated into his body.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Guo Zhiqi’s body flashed with white light, and he actually rose three levels consecutively. This scene made the other passengers green with envy. Advancing three levels at once could save them several months of effort.

After attracting a stream of light, the green sugared hawthorns in Guo Zhiqi’s hand turned a pale red, and the top one even turned a deep crimson.

Guo Zhiqi looked at the string of sugared hawthorns in his hand with a regretful expression. He opened his mouth, bit into the deepest red hawthorn at the top, and chewed vigorously, then carefully tucked away the sugared hawthorns, which now only had three fruits left, into his bosom.

“These streams of light, they have their own will!” Having witnessed the entire process of Guo Zhiqi capturing the streams of light, Song Jian suddenly had a flash of insight in his mind.

The string of sugared hawthorns must be a prop for using some kind of enticing skill. Since it’s possible to employ such a skill on the streams of light, it indicates that the streams possess self-awareness!

Realizing this wasn’t actually of much use to Song Jian, as he had no similar skills at his disposal. However, Song Jian possessed skills far more formidable than any enticement ability.

Staring at a stream of light, Song Jian reached out his hand to grasp it. Captain Swo watched Song Jian with great enthusiasm, as if Song Jian’s failure would amuse him more than the others.

Just then, Song Jian reached out again, but this time, instead of extending his hand towards the closest stream of light, he reached out more than a meter away to a spot without any streams of light.

At that moment, another player was vigorously attempting to capture an orange-red stream of light. Just as he was about to seize it, the orange-red stream suddenly accelerated and slipped through his fingers.

The player, with an expression of disappointment on his face, watched the escaping stream of light, only to be surprised to discover that Song Jian had actually grabbed it firmly. It looked as if Song Jian had casually reached out his hand and the stream had willingly burrowed into his palm.

Critical Moment!

One could sense what would happen in the next three seconds, and see the scenes that would unfold within those three seconds!

Looking at the struggling orange-red stream of light in his hand, Song Jian felt somewhat moved. This divine ability was incredibly powerful. This was just one among the divine laws, merely a consolation prize for not comprehending the Time Law. If he could truly control the Time Law, Song Jian wondered how strong he would become, an expectation filling his heart!

Whoosh, swish~
The orange-red stream of light struggled only briefly before completely relenting. It merged with Song Jian’s body, and in an instant, a massive amount of battle experience poured in, allowing Song Jian’s level to soar by two, reaching level 105.

This orange-red stream of light contained more precious essence than the pale yellow one Guo Zhiqi had captured earlier. But since Song Jian’s level was already so high, it resulted in just a two-level rise.

“What a pity, this skill can only be used three times a day, leaving only two chances left. With these two opportunities, I must capture the two streams of light that contain the most Purple Crystal essence!” Song Jian’s eyes shone with excitement as he stared at the fluttering streams of light and thought to himself.
