I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1637: Chapter 1638: Probing Chapter 1637: Chapter 1638: Probing “The Sea Clan?”

Song Jian stared intently at the few children to observe them more carefully, and indeed, these children had curved horns on their heads and fine scales on their exposed neck skin. A few children even had something like a fish’s tail behind their bottoms, which looked quite bizarre.

“These little guys from the Sea Clan have quite sharp perception…” Song Jian thought to himself with a smile.

It should be noted that, while he had not concealed himself deliberately, Song Jian was a peak Demi-God Level existence. These little ones had just stepped into the Legendary Realm, yet they were able to detect his presence, which was quite impressive.

“Hmph, showing your head while hiding your tail isn’t a sign of anything good. Ao Qian, use the Five Thunder Spell to strike an area about fifty meters ahead!” A child with a golden scale on his forehead pointed at Song Jian’s position and shouted loudly.

“Okay, Brother Bing Rui!” A girl who looked to be only about thirteen or fourteen, with a pair of small jade horns on her head, nodded in agreement.

Song Jian remained silent, wanting to see what kind of methods these Sea Clan children had.

“Imperial command, Five Thunder Spell, quickly!” Ao Qian’s voice was clear as she rapidly chanted the spell, her fingertips flickering with a light blue rune. The rune appeared out of thin air, and as she recited the spell, blue lightning danced across the surface of the rune along with the incantation.

Boom–
Above Song Jian’s head, the sound of thunder suddenly exploded, turning the surrounding area of several dozen meters into a sea of thunder, like a lightning pond, with plasma overflowing everywhere.

“So fast!”

Song Jian was surprised. The little girl’s lightning spell was cast without any sense of delay, as if she was a spirit of lightning herself, the speed of which was almost instantaneous.

“Let me feel for myself, just how powerful this Five Thunder Spell really is!” Song Jian thought silently.

Actually, as soon as Ao Qian locked onto the area, Song Jian had noticed it. To dodge would have been a matter of an instant, but he did not evade. He wanted to personally experience the strength of the Sea Clan for himself to see how powerful it really was.

Bolts of lightning struck aimlessly, the void filled with the ferocious power of thunder while the sea’s surface was whipped up into huge waves, as if merging with the lightning, the spectacle terrifyingly majestic.

“Powerful!” Song Jian, feeling the damage from the lightning around him, couldn’t help but praise silently. These members of the Sea Clan in the Legendary Realm, each one was even more powerful than the Shadow Demons he had encountered before. If they had numbers comparable to the Shadow Demons, then in this sea region, they would truly be a dominant presence.

After silently enduring the lightning strikes for about ten seconds, Song Jian’s Vitality Points had dropped by a fifth. As the lightning spell dissipated, Song Jian’s formidable self-recovery of Vitality Points kicked in, with numbers popping up above his head indicating tens to hundreds of points of recovery, making it appear as though he had a Healing Skill built-in
“Eh, there’s no reaction. Brother Bing Rui, did you see wrong? There’s no one there!” Ao Qian stared at Song Jian’s position with a face full of surprise.

“Impossible. There is someone there spying on us!” Bing Rui huffed coldly, the gold scale on his forehead suddenly shining brightly, forming a half-transparent eye in the void that swept its gaze towards the spot where Song Jian was located.

Sure enough, before long, a shadowy figure slowly emerged under the scrutiny of the half-transparent eye.

“There really is someone spying!” A group of children suddenly cried out in surprise, all turning to look in Song Jian’s direction, when suddenly, the heavily wounded Giant Dragon roared and caused a towering wave, lunging at the Sea Clan children while diving into the sea itself, seizing the opportunity to escape.

“Ah, the sea beast has run away; this trial is going to fail!”

“Wuuwuu, I’m going to be hungry for three days now; we were so close to killing it…”
…

The group of Sea Clan children, seeing the sea beast escape, suddenly burst into loud crying.

“Alright, stop crying, what’s there to cry about? Let’s take down this troublemaker first!” Bingrui shouted loudly, pointing his trident toward Song Jian.

A few children of the Sea Clan immediately became indignant, their faces filled with anger as they surrounded Song Jian.

“Who are you to dare trespass into the Sea Clan’s territory!”

“Capture him, capture him!”

…

“Human Race, surrender!” Bingrui waved his trident, stabbing toward Song Jian.

Song Jian looked at these children of the Sea Clan and suddenly got an idea. He shouted loudly, “I am of the Dragon Clan. Which family’s offspring are you, to be so rude!”

In an instant, the children were stunned, looking at each other in confusion. Bingrui scrutinized Song Jian with a vigilant look, “You say you are of the Dragon Clan, but do you have any proof?”

Song Jian shouted back, “Whose progeny are you all?”

In an instant, Song Jian’s aura of being at the peak of the Demi-God Level spilled out, causing a drastic change in the expressions of the Sea Clan children.

“Great, great sir, I am Bingrui of the Qiu Tribe, these others, they are my friends, disciples of the Eel and Shi Tribes!” Bingrui pointed to the children behind him, his voice filled with unease.

The Sea Clan is a general term, under which there are thousands of different tribes, including the Qiu Tribe and the Eel Tribe as part of it.

“What are you little ones doing here?” Song Jian demanded.

“Great sir, you claim to be of the Sea Clan, yet why is there no Sea Clan aura on you?” a little girl from behind Bingrui suddenly shouted.

Song Jian looked over and saw it was the same little girl who had bombarded him with the ‘Five Thunders’ earlier, and he couldn’t help but smile slightly.

Transform into a dragon!

With a mere thought, Song Jian’s body began to change. In a moment, an Eastern Giant Dragon about a hundred zhang long appeared before the children, its blue scales shimmering with a metallic luster. The powerful pressure made the Sea Clan children tremble; it wasn’t a suppression of level, but a suppression of bloodline.

“A Dragon, of the Dragon Clan, it really is the Dragon Clan!” The faces of the Sea Clan children turned pale with fear. Transformed into a dragon, Song Jian’s pure Dragon Clan aura left them no room for doubt.

With another thought, Song Jian returned to human form, glancing indifferently at them. Even though he, as human, no longer emitted the bloodline’s imposing aura, the young ones of the Sea Clan still dared not make a move.

“What are you little ones doing here?” Song Jian asked calmly once again.

“Sir, we were performing a trial task for our tribe, hunting a Legendary Realm sea beast. Unfortunately, it escaped…” Bingrui responded.

“Do you know if there are any divine creatures in this sea area?” Song Jian inquired.

“Sir, if you go south from here, about one hundred fifty kilometers away, there is a Floating Turtle Mountain, where there is a divine creature at the peak of the Demi-God Level…” Bingrui pointed southward as he spoke.

“Floating Turtle Mountain, huh?” Song Jian nodded, leaped into the void, and disappeared without a trace.
