I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 788 - 789: Bounty Hunter

Chapter 788: Chapter 789: Bounty Hunter

To call the Abyssal Demon Flame a sacred object of Abyssal Hell would not be an exaggeration. Even ordinary Abyss creatures wouldn’t dare to touch it. Only powerful Abyss creatures, possessing formidable Abyssal Power, have the right to touch the Abyssal Demon Flame. However, only the seven great Abyss Demon Kings can extract power from it.

Upon hearing that Song Jian was able to touch and steal the Sixth Demon King’s Abyssal Demon Flame, almost all the demon ritualists couldn’t believe the truth. If the opponent could steal the Sixth Demon King’s Abyssal Demon Flame, it meant that he could also steal the Abyssal Demon Flames of the other Demon Kings.

How could one be prepared for a thief for a thousand days if one only commits theft for one day? The fact that he could touch and steal the Abyssal Demon Flame was the reason why demon ritualists had to deal with Song Jian;

Seeing the shocked expressions on the other priests’ faces, Iphisna continued, “The weapon this human uses is a longsword, and it releases dark gold Sword Qi…”

If Iphisna’s first piece of information was shocking, this one was frightening to everyone!

“What, do you mean this human and that human from before are… are…” A trace of fear involuntarily appeared on the face of the Flame Demon ritualist;

...

“I didn’t say that!” Iphisna looked at the Flame Demon ritualist coldly and said, “I just told you what I saw. As for this human’s identity, it’s for you to judge!”

“Using a sword and dark gold Sword Qi doesn’t necessarily mean that this human has any relationship with that powerful person from before…” the Goat-faced Demon ritualist said softly.

But clearly, his words didn’t get the approval of the other demon ritualists.

“Kill him. We must kill this human. We cannot let the past events repeat themselves!” Ailei, the Fallen Angel Priest, said solemnly.

“Exactly, kill him before he grows too strong. Don’t even spare his soul!”

All the demon ritualists chimed in. The Wolf Spider Demon ritualist’s mouth curled into a triumphant smile, but it quickly disappeared, and he remained silent. If he relied solely on the Wolf Spider Demons, he wouldn’t be able to catch Song Jian and snatch back the Sixth Demon King’s tusks. Now, there was a higher chance of capturing and even killing Song Jian by dragging the other six Abyss Demon races into the fray;

At this time, Song Jian had already escaped from Broken Stone Mountain and entered Demon Slayer Canyon. Looking at the dark hole behind him, Song Jian breathed a sigh of relief. The task was extremely difficult, and if it weren’t for the gains along the way, Song Jian would have been unable to persevere;

“Kekaul, what should we do now?” Song Jian asked the angel who had been following him.

Kekaul looked at Song Jian with a surprised expression and said, “You have already saved me. Now I am just your guard. How would I know what you want to do?”

Song Jian paused and quickly opened the taskbar. He had completed the first part of the epic task—saving the angel Kekaul—but the next part of the task hadn’t been released yet!

“What’s going on? Do I need to meet some conditions to get the next step?” Song Jian sighed, guessing that he hadn’t met the requirements to trigger the next part of the task, which was why it was stuck at this stage.

Such a situation was common. Whenever there was a chain of tasks, players would encounter this issue. Some players couldn’t trigger the next step for a long time, leaving the chain tasks until the time limit was reached and they automatically failed;

It’s important to note that almost all tasks have time limits. Some tasks will state the limit, while others will hide it within the task content. The higher the rank and better the rewards for a task, the shorter the time allowed to complete it. If Song Jian couldn’t trigger the next step in time, he might fail this epic task;

However, failure was rare because as long as you followed the task’s requirements, you would eventually trigger the next stage. The problem was when you didn’t do anything and gave up;

“Now that I’ve obtained the Sixth Demon King’s Abyssal Demon Flame, I just need to get the Abyssal Demon Flames of the remaining Demon Kings. Since I know the location is here, I can search again after I rest a bit and the Wolf Spider Demons have calmed down!” Song Jian thought.

What he didn’t know was that at this moment, the Abyss Demon Guardian Temple had gathered representatives of the seven great Abyss Demon races, and several high priests were discussing how to kill him and completely destroy him;

Meanwhile, at the entrance to the Demon Slayer Canyon, wave after wave of Abyss players began to enter the canyon, not just these players but also a large number of NPCs appearing at the entrance to Demon Slayer Canyon.

These people had come to hunt down Song Jian, and the most eye-catching among them was a group from the Fallen Angel Alliance, led by Thomas. Behind him was a group of well-equipped elite players who were all at least level 35.

However, anyone familiar with the Fallen Angel Alliance would know that these people were in no way comparable to the previous group of elite players organized by Thomas to hunt down the world BOSS.

In fact, this group was elite reserves of the Fallen Angel Alliance. After the elite team was annihilated, a great cost was incurred to cultivate the elite reserve players of the Fallen Angel Alliance.

Their purpose in hunting down Song Jian was twofold—one, it was for the reputation of the Fallen Angel Alliance, and two, it was to test the Abyss players of the elite reserve team.

Seeing the Fallen Angel Alliance players at the entrance, the Abyss players nearby, who also had the same goal, showed various emotions—admiration, jealousy, and disdain. Many of them looked at the Alliance players mockingly;

Since the news of the Fallen Angel Alliance accident came to light, many other alliances in the Flame Furnace have been gloating. Even some random individuals unrelated to the Alliance expressed a sense of schadenfreude at their misfortune.

“Hey, looks like the Fallen Angel Alliance is dead set on killing that human. They’re going all out in their pursuit!” a nearby Abyss player whispered;

“Hmph, these people can’t be compared with the previous elite team. The elite team was wiped out. What can they expect to do? Give away their heads?”

“Hard to say, last time it was because of the World BOSS. This time they’re specifically hunting down the human. No matter how strong he is, he’s only one person. So many people attacking him at once would finish him off!”

“Do you think it’s as easy as hitting a wooden stake? Won’t the guy run or hide? Besides, with so many people entering the Demon Slayer Canyon, it’ll take a lot of time just to clear the monsters!”

…

The people from the Fallen Angel Alliance, hearing the surrounding discussions, looked displeased. However, they maintained their discipline and did not argue with the bystanders. They soon entered Demon Slayer Canyon and vanished from everyone’s sight;

Just then, an NPC wearing a black cloak and a cowboy hat, carrying an old-fashioned Mauser rifle on his shoulder, appeared before everyone. He entered the Demon Slayer Canyon without hesitation, moving quickly and leaving only a dark shadow in everyone’s vision.

But everyone who saw him couldn’t help but gasp, as this NPC seemed to be well-known among Abyss players.
