I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 438: 438: Flash Thunder Strike

“A battle beast, this is a perfect battle beast! My luck is just too good, haha!” Zhang Hong’s face showed a crazy expression, completely different from his previous peaceful demeanor.

“The Hoplra Lion Hawk Beast, once it reaches adulthood, it can rival the existence of a Giant Dragon. As long as I sign a contract with it…” Zhang Hong muttered to himself, as his body emitted a dazzling golden light, like he was wearing a golden armor.

“Come on, Hoplra Lion Hawk Beast, let me, Master Hongyi, become your master, and you will become the first battle beast under the future Buddha Hongyi!” Zhang Hong’s eyes were filled with fanaticism as he charged towards the Lion Hawk Beast.

“Bang!”

The Six-Ring Tin Staff, glowing with a golden light, fiercely struck the Lion Hawk Beast’s body, causing a large bruise. The Lion Hawk Beast cried out in pain, unable to stop itself from letting out a sharp howl.

Seeing the damage numbers floating above the Lion Hawk Beast’s head, Zhang Hong laughed out loud: “Great, I can break its defense! You’re mine now, this Hoplra Lion Hawk Beast definitely belongs to me!”

“Hiss-”

The tail behind the Lion Hawk Beast suddenly lifted up, and a triangular snake head hissed angrily and bit towards Zhang Hong.

Bang!

Like a black lightning bolt, the snake-like long tail of the Lion Hawk Beast fiercely bit towards Zhang Hong, but it was blocked by a thick layer of golden light around his body.

Although the snake tail’s attack was blocked, its power still seeped through. Zhang Hong, who was only an 18th level player, was like a tiny bug to the Lion Hawk Beast, which had a first-order combat power. It was an absolute crushing situation.

The attack sent Zhang Hong flying like a cannonball. He crashed through two stone tablets before coming to a stop, blocked by a large tree.

Zhang Hong held his Six-Ring Tin Staff tightly, wearing the dazzling golden armor, as he struggled to stand up. He couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

With his current strength, even fighting with a level 30 ordinary monster was strenuous. If it weren’t for his natural suppression of soul bodies, he wouldn’t even be in this place. Not to mention an elite BOSS with first-order combat power like the Lion Hawk Beast, even an ordinary level 30 elite BOSS would send Zhang Hong running.

This Hoplra Lion Hawk Beast was just too rare which made Zhang Hong couldn’t resist taking a risk.

“Esteemed friend, I wonder if you could help this poor monk hold off the monster. In doing so, you will not only gain my friendship but also a handsome reward afterwards!” Zhang Hong looked at Song Jian with a smile on his face.

Although Zhang Hong seemed a bit embarrassed at the moment, his golden aura was as peaceful and kind as Buddha while speaking to Song Jian, making it hard for anyone to refuse his request.

Song Jian, his eyes filled with confusion, was about to agree when a cool stream suddenly flowed through his mind, instantly sobering him up. As he looked at Zhang Hong with a sharp gaze, a sense of danger emerged.

Before, Zhang Hong had only used some methods to make Song Jian have a favorable impression of him, which did not have any adverse effects on Song Jian. As a result, Song Jian’s natural talent didn’t trigger. However, now, Zhang Hong had obviously used a skill similar to “Charm Magic.” This naturally touched the forbidden area of Song Jian’s natural talent, activating it and eliminating Zhang Hong’s influence.

Buzz-

Zhang Hong’s face suddenly turned pale, and he staggered back a couple of steps.

It was a skill backlash!

Zhang Hong looked at Song Jian in surprise, unable to believe that his skill had failed!

“Damn it, I was too reckless! What should I do now?” Zhang Hong panicked and quickly spoke to Song Jian: “I’m sorry, esteemed friend, it was just that this poor monk was a bit too anxious earlier, and I lost my composure. Please forgive me, I’m willing to pay you 10,000 Doomsday Coins as compensation!”

At this moment, a system notification suddenly appeared before Song Jian: System: Player Zhang Hong has sent you a trade request. He will trade “10,000 Doomsday Coins” to you. Do you accept the request?

Song Jian sneered in his heart, but on his face, he pretended to be hesitant, wanting to take advantage of the situation and directly chose to accept.

Soon, 10,000 Doomsday Coins entered Song Jian’s inventory.

10,000 Doomsday Coins, even players at this stage, could consider this a small fortune.

Song Jian showed a relieved smile on his face, nodding at Zhang Hong to signify that their past quarrel was erased.

Zhang Hong was overjoyed and hurriedly said: “Esteemed friend, please lend me a hand and help me subdue this monster. I will definitely reward you greatly!”

As he spoke, Zhang Hong summoned several semi-transparent soul bodies and directed them towards the Lion Hawk Beast.

These soul bodies were battle spirits that Zhang Hong had secretly converted while liberating mutated souls. Each battle spirit required a hundred mutated soul bodies to successfully convert. Once converted, these soul bodies would treat Zhang Hong as their master, obeying him without question, even if he ordered them to die without a moment’s hesitation.

The battle spirits fought with the Lion Hawk Beast wielding their long staffs. However, it was clear that they were no match for the Lion Hawk Beast. For now, Zhang Hong was only using them as cannon fodder to buy some time.

“Sir, have you reconsidered? As a monk, I do not lie, and I will not deceive you. As long as you help me catch this monster, I will definitely give you a great gift!” Zhang Hong said with an anxious expression on his face, as he could feel that he was losing contact with his painstakingly converted battle spirits one after another.

In reality, for the Lion Hawk Beast, which fed on soul bodies, these few battle spirits were nothing more than slightly stronger ants when compared to the ordinary mutated souls around them. The Lion Hawk Beast could still eat them up one by one, and they even tasted much better than regular mutated souls. “You’re only level 18. What good things can you have? If you want me to help you, you have to give me the items for the trade first, then I’ll help you!” Song Jian disdainfully looked Zhang Hong up and down while revealing his level.

Seeing that Song Jian was already level 21, Zhang Hong immediately felt surprised. At this point, he had also realized Song Jian’s identity – the first person on the level honor rankings!

Soon, Zhang Hong’s face was full of smiles again as he said to Song Jian: “So it’s Sir Song. Seeing that you’re holding a sword, you must be a swordsman class. I happen to have a suitable sword technique for you!”

With that, Zhang Hong took out a golden scroll and unfolded it to show its attributes to Song Jian.

“Skill Scroll: Flash Thunder Strike; Usage effect: Learn Sword Technique – Flash Thunder Strike; Usage requirements: Weapon type – Sword; Flash Thunder Strike (Active), skill effect: Borrow the power of thunder to deal three instantaneous damage to the target. The first damage is 150% of physical attack, the second damage is 110% of physical attack, and the third damage is 70% of physical attack. The three damages are thunder attribute damages, with a very small probability of making the target stunned for 1 second; cooldown time: 10 seconds; skill consumption: 30 points of Sword Qi.”

“A gold-quality sword technique, and it’s pretty powerful!” Song Jian’s eyes lit up, and he was instantly tempted.
