I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 502 - : Ant Emperor Pearl

Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Ant Emperor Pearl

Song Jian gritted his teeth, leaped with all his might and swung his long sword, hacking at Slave Ant King.

Though Slave Ant King had become a level thirty elite boss, it had never achieved the first rank in combat power. The gap in strength between it and the Abyss Ant King’s skeleton was vast, not to mention compared to the Ancestral Golden Ant King.

Song Jian had managed several rounds with the Abyss Ant King’s skeleton, so dealing with a level thirty elite boss, six levels higher than him, was a piece of cake.

After several dozen rounds with the Slave Ant King, Song Jian had almost fully grasped the Slave Ant King’s skills. Yet, the Slave Ant King had never seen Song Jian’s trump cards.

After fighting on the ground for several rounds, Slave Ant King soared into the air, and a jet of black blood slowly trickled out of its jagged mouth, dropping onto the lake surface ablaze with golden flames.

Boom~

A bushel of golden flames suddenly flared up, burning away all the black substances. Slave Ant King seemed to feel the power in the golden flames and its eyes showed a hint of terror. It involuntarily rose higher into the air.

Song Jian snorted coldly, and slowly spread a pair of wings, which shone metallically, out from his back. With a flick of these wings, Song Jian rocketed towards the Slave Ant King.

“Since you could become my slave, I can subdue you!” While he was fighting the Slave Ant King, Song Jian suddenly thought of Qi Yun, who had now become a Shadow Priest. Qi Yun had also been his slave once.

“Die!” Song Jian swung his sword, sending a scintillating golden Sword Qi, more than ten meters long, slicing toward the Slave Ant King.

Bang~

A loud noise rang out as half of the Slave Ant King’s body was obliterated by the golden Sword Qi. Its hard black shell was instantly turned into ashes, purple blood was splattered, and even one of its legs was severed at its base.

Although the Slave Ant King could still stand, its agility had evidently decreased significantly.

Just as Song Jian was about to pursue a killing strike against Slave Ant King, the Ancestral Golden Ant King behind him heaved a heavy sigh, stopping him: “Human warrior, could you spare its life? After all, it has only been corrupted by the Abyssal Power. As long as the Abyssal Power is expelled, it will remain a member of our Golden Ant Clan!”

Song Jian’s sword-swinging arm halted, and after watching the Slave Ant King, who was still defiantly glaring at him, deliberated for a moment. Then he snorted coldly, sheathed his sword and stepped aside.

Seeing Song Jian giving up on killing Slave Ant King, the Ancestral Golden Ant King revealed a gratified smile and said to Slave Ant King: “Come, my child!”

Slave Ant King sensed a strong threat, and immediately shifted its gaze from Song Jian to the Ancestral Ant King on the rocky island.

“Hiss, roar~”

With a roar, expressing fear in its heart, Slave Ant King stepped back to the path behind it.

At that moment, a strong force tightly bound Slave Ant King, as if it were holding a sandbag. It was hauled into the air and flew toward the rocky island.

Song Jian watched as the Slave Ant King lightly landed on the island. The Ancestral Golden Ant King exhaled a breath of golden air towards Slave Ant King.

In an instant, starting from the antennae of Slave Ant King, the black on the surface of its body gradually receded, and golden light burst out again.

Just then, Song Jian was startled and suddenly felt that the connection between him and the Slave Ant King shattered abruptly. His face turned white, and he couldn’t help spitting out a mouthful of blood. freewebnøvel.com

The Abyssal Power in Slave Ant King was completely expelled by the Ancestral Ant King, and even the spikes on the shell covering its body retreated one by one. It returned to the streamlined shape of Golden Ant King.

As he watched Song Jian spit out blood, the Ancestral Golden Ant King revealed a regretful look. He spewed out a golden bead from his mouth and presented it to Song Jian.

“Human warrior, my child can no longer assist you in battle from now on; it has regained its freedom. This is compensation for you; I hope it can slightly make up for your loss…”

Song Jian picked up the golden bead and immediately broke into a joyous smile.

“Ant Emperor Pearl, a wonder. Usage effect: After consumption, it can increase Vitality Points by 200 and increase one attribute point immediately. Usage requirements: It must be a gifted by an Ancestral Ant King and the user must be revered by the Golden Ant Clan.”

It was evident that the Ancestral Ant King had seen Song Jian spit out blood earlier, so he compensated him with this pearl. And, this pearl could only be used by Song Jian. If given to others, they would not be able to use it.

Without wasting any time, Song Jian swallowed the bead. The Ant Emperor Pearl melted as soon as it entered his mouth and turned into a warm current that rushed into his stomach.

A surge of power erupted from Song Jian’s body. The increase in two hundred Vitality Points allowed Song Jian’s Vitality Points to break through the two thousand mark, reaching two thousand one hundred and sixty points.

And that extra attribute point was added to Song Jian’s strength attribute. At this point, Song Jian’s strength attribute, along with various items’ bonus, had reached fifty points.

The moment Song Jian’s strength hit fifty points, he suddenly felt something inside his body break, as if a shackle binding him had suddenly come off.

System: Player Song Jian’s strength attribute broke through fifty points. He qualified to challenge the first rank of Combat Power. Would you like to challenge the first rank of Combat Power immediately?

“What, I already qualify to challenge the first rank of Combat Power? Wasn’t it said to be available for challenge only at level thirty?” Song Jian looked astonished.

After a moment’s hesitation, Song Jian asked: “If I give up now, will I be able to challenge again in the future?”

Soon the game system gave a reply.

System: Can be challenged at any time before level thirty. If the player’s level reaches thirty, a challenge will be compulsory. If the player fails the challenge, then the player’s level can never be advanced.

So, that’s how it was. Song Jian suddenly understood. It seemed that he didn’t need to worry about challenging the first rank of Combat Power until he reached level thirty. Moreover, only his strength attribute had reached fifty points at the moment. If he could raise his other attributes to the fifty-point limit as well, it would further enhance his strength. Wouldn’t that make the challenge simpler?

Just as Song Jian was contemplating the attribute limit, he suddenly heard a rustling sound from the surrounding channels. Soon, he saw countless Abyss Ant Kings emerging from the tunnels in droves, jumping into the lake ablaze with golden flames, without any reservations.

“There are so many Abyss Ant Kings?” Song Jian looked surprised as the number of Abyss Ant Kings that appeared before his eyes had already exceeded a hundred, and the number was still increasing.

What surprised Song Jian even more was that behind the Abyss Ant Kings, lines of Abyss Soldier Ants and Worker Ants crazily followed the Abyss Ant Kings and jumped into the lake.

The calm lake surface began to ripple. The Ancestral Golden Ant King, with a look of sorrow on his face, watched all these happen without moving an inch.
