Chapter 596: Chapter 596: The Airborne Pyramid

Song Jian carefully studied this letter again. Although the task did not explicitly state what it was, Song Jian deduced from between the lines that this task was likely to enter the experimental lab base and kill the suddenly more powerful experimental subject.

“Anna’s target is the flower of the Bloodline Vine, and its information should also be obtained from this experimental lab base. It’s a good opportunity to do this task at the same time.” Song Jian thought secretly and immediately chose to accept it.

Sure enough, this task was a Level 30 task. The goal was to kill the most powerful boss in the lab base, the Fallen Puppet Beast, Hisemanthi!

Song Jian continued to rummage around but quickly withdrew his hand in disappointment; besides the magic staff in Anna’s hand and this letter, there was nothing else in the bag.

Song Jian took another look at the bag in his hand. It was a special item, a fourteen-slot bag, which could be used to expand his bag bar.

Song Jian’s equipment was gradually becoming more abundant. The previous postal bag and storage ring had been replaced by other equipment, and the bag bar was crowded. With this newly added fourteen-slot bag, Song Jian would no longer need to pick and drop some junk when he encounters good equipment in the future.

“I’m taking the bag!” Song Jian happily said to Anna.

“Okay!” Anna obediently nodded. If it weren’t for the need to advance her profession, Anna would not have come to such a dangerous secret realm, and she didn’t have many opportunities for adventure in the future. This bag is more useful in Song Jian’s hands.

The two continued to move forward. Without the exploration of the blood crows and blood wolves, their journey became difficult again.

The monsters in the Mysterious Garden disguised themselves as ordinary plants. Unless you enter their alert range, even the sharpest perceptions won’t be able to discover them.

Song Jian stumbled along the way, but after getting familiar with the attack patterns of the monsters in the secret realm, Song Jian became more and more relaxed.

As soon as a monster was spotted, Song Jian would charge straight at it, fully utilizing his firepower. The Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword whirled about, the golden sword qi was rampant, and before the monsters could react effectively, they would be hacked into a pile of wood chips by Song Jian.

With a mournful roar, a puppet beast with a piece of deadwood on its back fell to the ground with a thud. The moment it fell, its body shattered like rotten wood.

Song Jian searched around the corpse and found two silver coins and a skill book.

These two silver coins were not a currency and could not be traded. But they were valuable items. Selling a silver coin to the system shop could be exchanged for 500 Doomsday Coins.

The skill book was a universal skill book that could be used by players of all professions.

“Skill Book: Agile Evasion. Skill Description: Passive skill, enhances the player’s ability to perceive and dodge attacks; Skill attributes: Gain an additional Intuition Evasion check +3, Perception check +1, passive parry chance increase by 10%; Usage limit: All professions.”

Although this skill book can be used by all professions, it’s obviously more suitable for melee professions. Anna gave it a glance and then gave up on this skill book.

Song Jian’s attack was very fierce, not even inferior to some people with tier one combat power. But his defense attribute was average. When fighting monsters, he usually relied on footwork and rapid attacks to kill opponents to cover up this weakness.

After acquiring this skill, Song Jian’s defense will have a significant improvement.

After learning this skill, Song Jian’s Intuition Evasion and Perception improved substantially. A passive skill that adds permanent attributes is far more valuable than a piece of equipment.

The two continued following the path while intermittently battling. After spending most of the day, they arrived at a small hill.

When they climbed over the hill, Anna suddenly pointed forward in surprise and shouted, “Song Jian, look over there, what is that?”

Song Jian looked up and saw a black pyramid hanging in the air about the size of a small hill. The pyramid was a hundred meters off the ground, and for some reason, it floated motionlessly as if it had no gravity.

Song Jian always thought that, even before the apocalypse, the level of human development in the game world should be similar to that of the real world. But now, he realized how absurdly wrong he was.

The ability to make such a massive pyramid float in the sky, this technology is not something humans in the real world could grasp.

“That should be the lab base, right?” Song Jian exclaimed.

This massive pyramid has obvious signs of human activity. Besides those mad humans who create so many monsters, Song Jian could not think about who else could build such a magnificent building in this secret realm.

The two started walking towards the huge pyramid floating in mid-air. Anna kept staring at it all the way.

“Song Jian, this building seems to be more than just a lab base…” Anna suddenly said, “It has obvious magical cannon muzzles and launch racks, it’s a military base with weaponry, even a large airship!”

“How do you know so much?” Song Jian asked in surprise.

“Similar weapons exist in the City of Sin, as for the rest, I read about them in some books in my family.” Anna glanced at Song Jian, “If this is truly a large airship, even one of these can form a considerable airship formation, which is a strategic weapon that could deter a country before the apocalypse.”

A large airship naturally couldn’t form an airship formation by itself. The number of escort ships alone would be in the hundreds.

“This might indeed be an airship left by a certain country before the apocalypse…” Song Jian had a look of envy in his eyes.

If he could have this floating black pyramid in the sky, then wouldn’t he be unstoppable in this game world!

Such a strategic weapon could contend with a superpower. The cities in the game, whether it be the City of Hymns or the City of Sin, simply could not compete with it.

But this thought could only cross Song Jian’s mind. Not to mention getting control of this base. Even if Song Jian truly had control, moving it would not be attainable by one or two people. Thousands of professionals would be needed to make it work.

“Let’s go, let’s check it out over there. The clue to the Bloodline Vine should be in that base!” Song Jian said with anticipation.
