I have an Apocalypse City

Watching Mei with blood all over her face, several people were very angry. The captain, Li Xiong, asked in a deep voice, “Is that person very strong, or else, why would there be a skill backlash?”

“Especially strong!” Mei hesitated for a moment before saying, “I only stared at him for five seconds, and as a result, I suffered a skill backlash, and I couldn’t even make out what level of power he had…”

“Anyway, I think his level is the skeleton level, I believe he’s at least Legendary Level…” Yang Yang interjected from the side, “I actually wanted to recruit him for the vortex gate, but he’s after divine sea creatures…”

“Even at Legendary Level there shouldn’t be a backlash, Mei’s spirit vision is an epic skill!” A girl from the healing profession said dissatisfiedly, “Next time we meet him, we must make him pay, look what he did to Mei, blinding her.”

“Right, revenge, Sister Mei, don’t worry, we will all make him pay for you!” A boy dressed in black leather armor with two daggers at his waist, clearly a rogue or lurker class, said indignantly.

“Enough, Xiao Zhu, you’re just a third-tier combat power rogue who hasn’t even maxed out his stealth, and you still have the nerve to talk about fighting for Mei? Give it a rest,” Yang Yang said, looking down on him.

“Third-tier combat peak!” Xiao Zhu’s face turned red as he argued loudly, “In at most three more days, no, two days, I’ll have my stealth maxed out, and then even if he’s Legendary Level, he won’t be able… to have only a 50% chance of seeing through my stealth!”

“Psh~” Yang Yang rolled his eyes disdainfully, seemingly too lazy to argue any further.

Xiao Zhu was a bit unwilling to let it go and was about to say more, but was stopped by the captain Li Xiong, “Alright, enough talk, this time Mei took the initiative to scout the other party and suffered a skill backlash. That person probably didn’t even notice, it’s not their fault… If we really meet him again, let’s all try to avoid him; his power is probably terrifyingly high…”

“Captain, I asked around, he’s not from the monster hunter group!” Yang Yang said in a low voice.

“He’s much better than those monster hunter goons…” Li Xiong shook his head, “Alright, no more discussion, Yang Yang, you stay here and keep recruiting for the dungeon, Youyou and Xiao Zhu, you two help Mei to the inn to rest. Once the skill backlash cooldown is over, we’ll have a meeting and discuss the vortex gate dungeon!”

…

Song Jian was unaware that he had been scouted; spirit vision is not an active scouting skill but uses special vision to observe the opponent, akin to entering a special plane of spirit observation that doesn’t alert the observed.

Arriving at the seaside, Song Jian directly used the Sword Flight Art and flew towards the ocean. Once he entered the range of the sea, he found that the spiritual energy here seemed to be more concentrated than on land, and the water elements were very lively. If he used water magic, both the casting speed and power of the spells would have a significant increase.

But at the same time, fire and earth magic elements were somewhat scarce. If he summoned the Golden Giant or the Golden Giant Dragon and fought in the ocean, their combat power would decrease, albeit not much, but it would have some impact.

Soon, Song Jian left the crowds behind and arrived in the heart of the ocean, floating in the void. Looking around, he saw an endless expanse of waves rolling, without a single person in sight.

Song Jian took out the map and began to check it carefully. It was a map of the sea within three hundred miles of the city of Haitao, and it also included a map of a thousand miles of sea, although crude, it was enough for Song Jian.

Song Jian’s eyes flickered as he decided where to go first; he had marked all the places where divine sea creatures could appear on the map, according to what he had heard in the city of Haitao. Now all he needed to do was check them out one by one.

First stop, where to?

“`
The Vortex Gate? This place is near Sea Waves City, the only fifth-level dungeon that requires forty players to explore together, and if you play on the true difficulty level, it’s very likely that you’ll encounter a Demi-God Level power, Moreover, the Vortex Gate is located in the ocean, and there’s a high chance that the Demi-God Level BOSSes encountered will be marine creatures.

However, if we really go to the Vortex Gate, it will be a considerable waste of time. There’s a daily limit for each person to enter a fifth-level dungeon; you can only go in once a day, regardless of whether you pass or fail, and you cannot go in again on the same day.

Even if Song Jian managed to clear one difficulty level a day, it would still take four or five days to reach the true difficulty level. For Song Jian, this was simply too slow.

“Beyond this area lies the territory of the Sea Clan, There are definitely Demi-God Level powerhouses inside. The Sea Clan is a formidable force, not to be trifled with lightly, but I’m not from Sea Waves City, nor do I make a living in these seas, even if I provoke them, the problem won’t be too severe!”

Song Jian stroked his chin, Divine marine creatures rarely live in a fixed area; they prefer to roam around the ocean, hunting them requires a degree of luck.

“Let’s try our luck here first. If it really doesn’t work out, we’ll have to head to the Vortex Gate…” Song Jian thought to himself.

…
The ocean, in contrast to land, is much richer in both species and resources. Many bold players like to venture into the sea to explore, and many have reaped abundant rewards.

Following the guidance of the map, Song Jian flew towards the vast ocean. He had already delved hundreds of nautical miles into the sea and was nearly reaching the extreme oceanic location marked on the map.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly sensed a strong presence ahead, as if someone were besieging a sea monster.

When Song Jian got closer, he saw that it was several children with horns on their heads besieging a sea beast. Both the children and the sea beast were of the Legendary Realm strength, except the children with the strange horns were only at the initial stage of the Legendary Realm, while the sea beast was in the middle of the Legendary Realm.

“Hit its head, see? I’ve already struck it with my hammer on its head, and it’s injured now, hit its wound!”

“Ah, it hit me, it hurts so much, its scales are so hard, I want to make armor from its scales…”

“Tie it down, tie it down, it’s about to cast a spell, be careful!”

…
The children kept up their assault while chattering away, and it looked almost like they were playing. The sea beast they were besieging, however, was continuously roaring and bellowing; even though it was higher in strength by one realm than the kids, it was still being pressed down in the fight.

At that moment, one of the children turned grim, turned his head, and looked towards where Song Jian was, yelling loudly, “Who dares to spy again? This is the territory of the Sea Clan. If you don’t wish for trouble, back off immediately, or the Sea Clan will fight you to the death!”
