YM778.TV Chapter 355: Wrath of the Fire God
The unexpected recruitment by Councilor Wang was quite attractive to Song
Jian.
Even though he was very strong, he couldn’t compare to the national machine unless he was willing to become a fugitive and cut off relations with everyone associated with him.
The previous police search and questioning in the neighborhood had sounded an alarm for Song Jian. The emergence of this game had a huge impact on the real world, and the country couldn’t just let it be. For players entering the game, the best treatment was probably surveillance and control, simply not being captured and dissected for research was a blessing.
If Song Jian could really join the Coastal Military Zone, he would undoubtedly gain an extra layer of protection, at least in the real world, where he wouldn’t have to bother with random police questioning.
“What do I need to do to join the Coastal Military Zone?” Song Jian asked.
Upon hearing Song Jian’s question, a smile crept up Councilor Wang’s lips as if he had seen a big fish leap into his net.
“There are no specific policies in place for now, but in principle, we won’t make any mandatory requests for players. You can just focus on your development. However, in some areas, we need you to have some inclination toward us, like selling unused equipment and items, which must be given priority to the Coastal Military Zone. Of course, the price will be determined by market value!” “Furthermore, if the military zone needs your help, you need to voluntarily provide assistance without compromising your development. In return, the military zone will compensate you appropriately!”
Councilor Wang listed a dozen conditions, causing Song Jian to frown slightly. It felt more like becoming an external member of the Coastal Military Zone, in cooperation with the military area.
“Of course, these are just temporary measures. The future policies are still being studied.” Councilor Wang finally said.
” I see. I’ll consider it, and let you know nar I’ve made a decision.” Song Jian hesitated for a moment.
Councilor Wang was surprised, as he had expected Song Jian to agree directly.
He didn’t expect him to still be hesitating.
“Alright, no problem. We welcome your participation at any time. Let’s add each other as friends for easier communication in the future!” Councilor Wang hurriedly said.
“No problem!” Song Jian quickly added Councilor Wang as a friend.
In order to gain access to the communication system and the ability to add friends, one must complete the safe house mission; otherwise, it’s impossible to directly communicate with other players, let alone add friends.
Ending the call, Song Jian pulled out two Vitality Stones from his inventory. The Vitality Stones were very precious, and when placed in the inventory, they could increase the Vitality Points recovery speed by 2%. If used directly, they could serve as a healing potion, instantly restoring 300 Vitality Points.
Song Jian had only managed to obtain a few with great difficulty and was reluctant to use them regularly. He wanted to keep them as a trump card for turning things around. However, now that he had lost the powerful Vitality Points recovery speed bonus, if Song Jian didn’t use them, he might not have a chance to use them in the future.
Using two Vitality Stones at once, Song Jian’s health soared to over a thousand. At this point, the Ice Rock Naga Boss’s Vitality Points had dropped to below 20%. The once charming boss suddenly became frightening. The formerly smooth and white cheeks suddenly became covered with blue veins, and the face caved in. A mouthful of sharp teeth appeared, two tusks protruded from the lips, and the tongue became a long snake-like filament, emitting a hissing sound.
“Die, human! I will freeze you in this cave!” The Ice Rock Naga Boss roared, raising its three arms simultaneously. The entire cave began to shake violently, with icicles falling from the ceiling.
A sudden gust of cold wind swept through the cave, and icy tornadoes appeared out of thin air, moving incessantly on the ground. The tornadoes were filled with suction force, causing the opponents, the Blood Wolfs, and the Ice Rock, to be swallowed up.
The Blood Wolfs could only hold on for a short while in the tornado before turning into a puddle of pus and blood, returning to the Blood Pool. The Ice Rock Naga Boss, which seemed to be formed from ice, shattered into large chunks of ice, making clattering noises as they collided within the tornado.
Boom, boom, boom~
Song Jian continually heard crashing sounds. The icicles falling from the ceiling were like bombs, creating large pits in the ground. Song Jian dodged left and right. The icicles falling from such a height were as powerful as ordinary shells. A casual hit could cause the loss of three or four hundred Vitality Points.
Song Jian leaped towards the side ice rocks, successfully avoiding several icy tornadoes, and hid in a big hole in the ice rock. It was the spot where the Ice Rock Naga had broken free earlier. Although the space was not big, it was more than enough for Song Jian to hide.
The icicles fell for a whole thirty seconds, and the tornadoes swept across the cave for three full minutes. A five-person team would not have survived the countless tornadoes if they had not found a hiding place.
The temperature in the entire cave suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees. The current temperature had reached minus seventy or eighty degrees Celsius. Ordinary players could not survive in such an environment. If a player with no Ice Resistance appeared here, they would be frozen into ice sculptures in no time.
Even with Song Jian’s Ice Resistance, he could not remain unharmed in such an environment. At this point, red ” -1″ symbols appeared above his head. Fortunately, they only appeared once every three to four seconds, giving Song Jian enough time to keep going.
A layer of frost over a foot high had condensed on the ground, flowing like mist along the surface. As Song Jian jumped down from the ice rock, he immediately felt an icy chill piercing through his feet, accelerating the loss of his Vitality Points.
“I can’t delay this any longer. I have to finish this quickly!” Song Jian thought to himself as he rushed towards the Ice Rock Naga Boss.
The Ice Rock Naga Boss had just finished its powerful attack and was in a weakened state. In addition, the frost on the ground was a kind of protection for it. Any living being exposed to such frost would be highly susceptible to being slowed and frozen. In such conditions, however, the Ice Rock Naga Boss could recover quickly. Once its weakened state ended, its Vitality could be restored to 15%.
But when it saw Song Jian charging at it without any hindrance, the Ice Rock Naga Boss revealed a surprised expression.
“How could this be? How could this human have never been slowed or frozen since entering this place?” A thought suddenly crossed the Boss’s mind: “Could it be that this human has been blessed by the Fire God and is now completely immune to freezing damage? That’s impossible. Why would the Fire God bless an ordinary human being? And the Fire God has already fallen, so it s not possible… ”
At that moment, Song Jian had already reached the weakened Ice Rock Naga Boss and swung his sword fiercely at its head.
Just then, his Ring of the Fire God triggered the “Wrath of the Fire God” skill. A low roar rang throughout the cave, and a scorching flame accompanied Song Jian’s sword as it slashed down.
