I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 899 - 900 Eagle’s Eye_1

Chapter 899 -900 Eagle’s Eye_1

Sky City appeared like a mirage, nestled within the thick clouds, vaguely visible; it wasn’t until Song Jian flew up that he realized, although the city seemed high, it was actually only about five or six hundred meters from the ground;

At this moment, Song Jian stood before the abandoned gate of Sky City. The gate, once towering, had collapsed halfway, leaving just enough space for people to pass through one half of the door;

This gate was completely constructed from a peculiar type of stone. The moment Song Jian’s perception touched these stones, it disappeared without a trace;

Strange patterns were etched on the surface of the stone-built doorframe, but Song Jian knew they were not mere designs—they were a kind of script. They looked somewhat similar to the language of the Abyss, yet they were entirely different;

Song Jian picked up a broken piece of stone to examine it more closely. These stones, which blocked all sensory exploration, had no properties; they were just worthless rubble;

Taking steps into the city, Song Jian soon heard the noisy clamor of battle in the distance. After walking toward the direction for a while, he found two players teaming up to hunt a ferocious monster covered in feathers;

This monster had the head of an eagle on a humanoid body, with sharp claws for hands and thick feathers all over. Instead of wings, it had a pair of bat-like flesh wings at its back;

It fought barehanded, but its damage was anything but weak. Its claws were like blades, leaving trails of afterimages as they slashed through the air, forcing the two level thirty-seven players to retreat step by step.

Upon spotting Song Jian, the two players were overjoyed and waved to him, shouting, “Brother, come help us out, we’ll share the loot with you!”

The monster was only level forty-two, and a common one known as “Temple Eagle Servant,” with just over thirty thousand Vitality Points, and the two had already whittled down over ten thousand points;

Song Jian cracked a slight smile, drew his sword, and slashed at the monster. Each strike took away a couple of thousand damage points, and in no time, he drew the monster’s ire onto himself, giving the two players a much-needed breather;

Seeing how formidable Song Jian was just by swinging his sword, the two players’ faces lit up with joy, exerting themselves to unleash skills and assist in the attack. Such a staunch and strong support like him was someone they had to cling to tightly;

Before long, the three of them finished off the monster, which dropped several items, including a piece of silver-quality equipment that glittered on the ground.

Neither of the players made a move to pick it up. The one who had called out to Song Jian earlier spoke up, “Brother, you pick first. Even if you take everything, it’s fine by us. Just leave us a couple of things you don’t want!”

Song Jian glanced over, noting the silver-quality equipment was a level forty plate armor helmet—something that might fetch a few tens of thousands of Doomsday Coins at the auction house but was of little use to him.

Instead, it was one of the blue-quality materials that caught his eye;

“I’ll just take this,” Song Jian said with a smile as he picked up the blue-quality material, then spoke to the two players;

“Thanks a lot, big bro!” The two players exchanged smiles, their faces bursting with joy.

Song Jian turned and walked down another path. The player who had initially called out to Song Jian was about to reach out to say something but was stopped by his companion;

“To him, we’re just a burden. Let’s not hold him back,” his companion said in a low voice, shaking his head.

“Yeah, that’s true. We better not hunt monsters. Let’s just search the rooms here; we might find something unexpected!” another sighed.

“At least we have to earn back our travel expenses!” his companion chuckled.

“We’ve already made back the travel expenses. The silver-quality plate armor is worth at least a hundred thousand Doomsday Coins. It suits you—take it for now. The rest of the stuff is mine!”

…

The entire Sky City didn’t seem very large. It felt like a military outpost, not even one-tenth the area of Doomsday City. Standing at this end, one could see the city walls on the opposite side.

Although Sky City wasn’t large, it was teeming with monsters. Nearly every two steps, one could hear the roars and bellows of monsters and catch glimpses of their figures lurking in the rooms lining the streets.

The deeper one ventured into Sky City, the more numerous and higher-level the monsters became. Other players dared only to explore near the edge of Sky City, not venturing too deep; after all, as precious as treasures were, they weren’t as valuable as one’s own life.

These ordinary monsters above level forty didn’t hold much attraction for Song Jian. After killing a few and only obtaining some common materials, he gave up on hunting further. Instead, he took out the blue-quality material he had obtained before.

“Eagle’s Eye (Blue), enhancement material, item level 38, usage effect: Can enhance the effect of pupil technique skills; Can enhance the effect of pupil technique equipment; During enhancement, there is a certain chance to improve the user’s field of vision; Usage requirements: Possess pupil technique skills/have pupil technique equipment.”

This item wasn’t very valuable to the average player, but for those with special pupil techniques or players with a Vertical Eye like Song Jian, it was worth a fortune.

Upon choosing to use it, the item in his hand that resembled an eyeball instantly turned into a beam of white light and entered the Vertical Eye in the center of Song Jian’s forehead.

Soon, a cool sensation spread from his forehead throughout his body. The Vertical Eye on Song Jian’s forehead immediately became more vivid; whereas before it had looked almost metallic, it now seemed to possess muscular-like textures.

System: You have used “Eagle’s Eye.” The attributes of the external equipment “Vertical Pupil” have been strengthened—field of vision +3, all attributes +5, Special Effect 1 Falsehood Breaker is enhanced and can see through illusions and false statuses such as invisibility up to level nine, with a certain chance to discern the principles behind enemy skill releases, reducing skill power by 60%; Special Effect 2 Gaze of Death is enhanced, increasing damage and reducing consumption; Special Effect 3 Weakness Removal is enhanced, when attackers target the user’s head, defense is increased by 150%, and the head will no longer be a weak point, immune to critical and fatal hits.

This blue-quality enhancement material directly upgraded Song Jian’s Vertical Pupil by one grade, from the original white-quality to green-quality, and its item level had also increased to twenty-five.

After enhancing the Vertical Pupil, Song Jian continued to delve deeper into Sky City. If an ordinary monster could drop such good material, then wouldn’t the elite bosses or lord-level bosses inside drop even higher quality, better attribute items?

With this thought, Song Jian’s heart blazed with excitement. It was then that a church suddenly appeared before Song Jian, a large crucifix erected atop the high loft. The cross was covered in dark brown, dried bloodstains, and bound to it was a monster baring two fangs, a sight very eerie to behold.
