I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 481 - : Ant King Slave

Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Ant King Slave

The Golden Ant King Juvenile was only at level one, so even a common white Pet Contract Scroll could capture it, let alone the Abyss Temptation. The possibility of failure of the capture was minimal since it was a spoils of war from killing the Mutated Ant King.

Black gas materialized in mid-air, forming three black chains that bound the Golden Ant King Juvenile firmly. The juvenile, who was still struggling to get out of the Mutated Ant King’s carcass, gradually felt stiff all over its body as the black chains tightened. The black abyssal aura emanated from the chains, continuously burrowing into the Golden Ant King Juvenile. Before long, the original golden ant shell had been coated in a layer of black aura, making it look like a mini Mutated Worker Ant at first glance.

The Abyss Temptation skill ended, and Song Jian was drenched in cold sweat, feeling almost drained. Casting this skill not only tempted the target with the Abyssal words, but the caster themselves would also be tempted by the waves of Abyssal words. If they were careless, they might fall into corruption, be eroded by the abyssal aura and become an abyssal creature.

System: You have successfully released “Abyss Temptation” on the Golden Ant King Juvenile, it has become your second slave, and you can rename it. Warning: You are not an abyssal creature; each casting of Abyss Temptation will increase the temptation of the Abyssal words on you. After three times, if you cast Abyss Temptation again, you will definitely change your racial traits and become a member of the Abyssal Clan.

Upon seeing the system prompt, Song Jian frowned. This warning hadn’t appeared the first time he used it, and he suspected its appearance now had something to do with the game version update.

Moreover, he could feel that the temptation of the Abyssal words in his ears was much stronger than the first time he used Abyss Temptation. If he used it a third time, Song Jian truly didn’t know whether his innate skill could withstand the temptation of the Abyssal words.

“I don’t want to become a member of the Abyssal Clan!” Song Jian thought to himself, deciding never to use the Abyss Temptation skill again.

Looking at the now freed Golden Ant King Juvenile standing quietly beside him, Song Jian stroked its head.

The touch from his fingertips felt as if he were stroking icy steel. He opened the attribute panel of the level one Golden Ant King Juvenile. Its attributes were already higher than many ordinary level five monsters, and it also possessed two other skills.

One was “Pursuit Slaughter,” the acceleration skill previously used by the Mutated Ant King. The skill effect allowed the user to run at a frantic pace for thirty seconds. If the user collided with a target during that time, the skill would be interrupted, dealing physical damage equal to the user’s strength minus the target’s strength multiplied by ten. The target would also be stunned for three seconds.

This skill could be used for chasing enemies or escaping, as well as a control skill to deal damage to enemies. It could be employed in various tactics, making it a decent skill.

The other skill was a passive one called “Spiked Aura.” Within a 5-meter range around the Golden Ant King Juvenile, all allies could gain effects such as “defense increased by 30% and 10% damage reflection.”

The Golden Ant King Juvenile was now no different from Song Jian’s pet. It was not only more obedient than pets but also had a loyalty level of adoration. Even if Song Jian asked it to commit suicide, the Golden Ant King Juvenile would carry it out without any hesitation or resentment.

This was the difference between a slave and a pet, but the downside was that the Golden Ant King Juvenile couldn’t be stored in the Pet Space like the Black Dragon hatchling. Moreover, once it died, there would be no chance of resurrection.

“The most important thing now is to raise your level so you won’t die so easily here…” Song Jian whispered as he stroked the head of the Golden Ant King Juvenile.

This area was filled with level 30 Mutated Ants. Even if the level one Golden Ant King Juvenile had great growth potential, it was no match for a regular Mutated Worker Ant. Since it couldn’t be stored in the Pet Space, death would be irreversible.

Night fell, and Song Jian spent the night hugging the Golden Ant King Juvenile on a large tree. The strength of monsters increased during the nighttime. Some players tried to hunt monsters at night to level up, but few persisted for long. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

One reason was the increased strength of the night monsters, but another was the appearance of powerful monsters at night. Escaping was even more difficult during the night, and many players found more and more monsters chasing them as they ran. Some even unintentionally ran into monster dens…

Nighttime outside Doomsday City was even more dangerous. Song Jian could hear the frenzied howls of the Mutated Worker Ants in the woods. This place was about seven or eight miles away from the area where Mutated Soldier Ants appeared. Although there wouldn’t be any flying Soldier Ants, it was still part of the Mutated Worker Ants’ territory.

If any monster entered this area, it would attract swarms of Mutated Worker Ants. The sounds of battles came from all around, and the aura of slaughter made the Golden Ant King Juvenile in Song Jian’s arms feel restless. However, it was obvious that the intelligence of the Ant King wasn’t much lower than a human’s. It simply wriggled slightly in Song Jian’s arms and let out a low-pitched hiss.

The next day, as soon as day broke, Song Jian saw an injured Mutated Worker Ant, dragging its broken body to leave the area. The Mutated Worker Ant was heavily injured; almost half of its body had been bitten off by a monster, showing signs of being gnawed on. Its Vitality Points were less than one-third, and it moved very slowly.

Song Jian knew that this severely injured Worker Ant intended to move away from its group to die alone, but for Song Jian, it was one of his mission targets.

With a thought, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword appeared in his right hand. Song Jian leaped forward, and before the severely injured Worker could react, the sword had already pierced its skull.

Flash Thunder Strike!

Pop, pop, pop~

Six damage figures appeared above the Worker Ant’s head, its Vitality Points instantly depleted. To deal with this severely injured Worker Ant, Song Jian only needed to use one sword technique to kill it.

Swish, swish, swish~

Eight rays of light appeared on the Golden Ant King Juvenile’s body, raising its level from one to nine.

Checking its Experience Points, the Golden Ant King Juvenile was only a little over three hundred Experience Points away from level ten. The Experience Points from a level 30 monster were simply too abundant for a level one Golden Ant King.

Song Jian glanced at the Ant King, which had nearly doubled in size, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. With the help of this Ant King slave, completing the epic mission would be much easier.
