I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 1507

Chapter 1507: Chapter 1509: Bloody Arena Chapter 1507: Chapter 1509: Bloody Arena Within the Bloody Arena, there was only one species of monster, and that was the race of towering barbarians. These barbarians were divided into thousands of tribes, both large and small, dwelling across the region.

Since nothing green could grow, these barbarians survived daily by consuming the black soil of the earth. The barbarian tribes also waged wars against each other, but today, upon witnessing the sky filled with falling meteors, even warring tribes would cease combat and head towards the direction of the meteor shower in a truce.

To these barbarians, Song Jian and the other intruders who entered the Bloody Arena were considered aliens from beyond the stars, who must be eliminated without exception.

In the sky, tens of thousands of meteors, drew ever closer to the earth. Song Jian saw countless humanoid creatures running towards the area where they were falling, filling him with an ominous premonition.

Just then, Song Jian noticed that the meteors beside him were suddenly changing their trajectory, heading towards a different location, which startled him.

“How are they controlling the direction of the fall?” Song Jian wondered silently.

If they continued to fall straight down, they would surely end up encircled by the monsters on the ground. Then, forget about surviving until the end; they’d probably be attacked by the monsters the moment they touched down.

Song Jian closely observed the meteors that had changed direction and realized that they hadn’t made any superfluous movements, leading him to understand that the control must be exerted through perception or Mental Strength with the light rings surrounding their bodies.

With this in mind, Song Jian immediately spread his Mental Strength into the ring of light and sure enough, once his Mental Strength extended into it, he could control the direction of the fall. However, in such a situation, Mental Strength was rapidly depleted–at a rate of hundreds of points per second–and with his current level of Mental Strength, he could maintain control for only about a minute.

“Just need to slightly adjust the direction of the fall, so as not to enter the monsters’ encirclement,” Song Jian thought to himself.

Soon, the “meteor” controlled by Song Jian also started to head for less inhabited areas. Now, he also understood that upon entering the Bloody Arena, the most crucial thing was to survive the onslaught of these monsters, rather than battling with the Holy Children and maidens of the alien tribes. Presumably, those Holy Children and maidens held the same thought.

The meteor Song Jian was on traced an arc through the sky, plummeting towards a depression that resembled a dried-up lake.

This basin appeared as though it were a parched lake, with hardly any monsters nearby. Such a location would at least allow Song Jian to survive a bit longer in the initial stages.

There were many who had set their sights on this area, as numerous meteors started to change their course towards this low-lying land.

Moments later, meteor after meteor smashed heavily onto the ground, creating large craters.

Song Jian felt only a jolt as the layer of light around his body shattered after blasting a big hole in the ground, seemingly absorbing the full impact of the fall. Song Jian, enveloped inside, was unscathed.

Loading out of the crater, Song Jian suddenly discovered a structure in the center resembling a pyramid. Most of it was buried underground, with less than three meters visible on the surface.

Moreover, the surface of this structure was pitch black, almost indistinguishable from the ground. If one wasn’t looking closely, they would find it hard to detect its presence.

Just then, Song Jian heard the distant rumblings of combat explosions.

The presence of a Demi-God Level powerhouse, once fully unleashed, was potent enough to be sensed by people thousands of miles away.

As the powerful demi-god level presences burst forth and then quickly perished, Song Jian knew that some had already been slain by the native ambush, but it was unclear whether it was the human race’s chosen ones or the sons and daughters of the Starry Sky Alien Race.

“Look, those monsters!” someone suddenly shouted loudly.

All eyes turned to the surroundings of the basin, and figures began to emerge slowly on the high grounds around the basin. An array of indifferent eyes stared at the people who had just fallen into the depression as if they were looking at corpses.

“How could they be so fast?” Song Jian was shocked. From what he had seen in the sky before, there hadn’t been so many monsters in this area, or else, not so many would have fallen here.

It was at this moment that Song Jian suddenly received a system prompt.

System: Hidden quest “Path of the Holy Child” triggers a follow-up task, Explore the Tomb! Task requirements: head to the tomb of the great chieftain, seek the ghostly figure of Giles, and engage in conversation with it! Task reward: 100,000 battle experience.

After entering the Bloody Arena space, Song Jian finally received the second part of the hidden quest, entering the tomb. The task did not seem very difficult, the reward was only 100,000 battle experience. While that sounded like a lot, at Song Jian’s current level, it would, at most, only amount to an increase of 1% to 2% experience.

Song Jian looked around, there were about a dozen people who had landed in this dried-up lake basin, among which only three or four were from the Human Race, the rest were all from the Starry Sky Alien Race.

But the number of monsters appearing around was already several hundred, and among them, there were not a few with three heads and six arms at the demi-god level.

The lowest level among these monsters was one hundred and ten, and some with an extra head or an extra pair of arms had already broken through to the Legendary Realm. Those with three heads and six arms were all of demi-god level. Such terrifying monsters, once there were more of them, even god-level powerhouses would not dare to fight them. Otherwise, once entangled by these monsters, more and more would join the fray, and with a large number of demi-god level monsters, even god-level powerhouses could be killed in the siege.

Moreover, at the moment, the strongest who had landed in this area were only of demi-god level strength.

Just then, above the basin, a ghostly figure of an arena dripping with blood suddenly appeared, with the blood constantly falling yet quickly dissipating in mid-air, never reaching the ground, so no one knew if the blood truly existed.

At the moment the Bloody Arena appeared, a mysterious voice resounded in the ears of all who had entered the area.

“Do you wish to enter the Bloody Arena and engage in a battle to the death? The victor will receive a Vitality Fruit. Yes/No”
In the moment of Song Jian’s surprise, two sons of the Starry Sky Alien Race chose “Yes”.

The two transformed into streaks of light and flew into the Bloody Arena, standing on the platform and looking down with a smug expression on their faces.

“It seems the monsters around can’t see the Bloody Arena. Fighting in the arena now is a perfect way to avoid the monsters’ attacks!” Song Jian instantly realized. Some who were too slow showed a look of regret on their faces.

The basin was now surrounded by native monsters, and these monsters had begun their charge, with hundreds of beasts lunging forward, their faces twisted in ferocity.

Song Jian’s figure flickered as he dashed toward the center of the basin to seize the tomb, while the others flew up and scattered in all directions.
