Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

But now, unable to withstand the attacks of these giant pythons, he felt deeply distressed. The Heavenly Sword, which he had purchased for a substantial sum, had unexpectedly failed here.

Swoosh!

As Alex was lamenting, another gust of wind attacked from behind.

"Damn it!"

Alex's face darkened, and he quickly turned around to throw a punch.

Boom!

A great force hit him, sending him flying several meters back.

Pfft!

Alex spat out a mouthful of blood.

The attacker who had ambushed him was also injured by the recoil. However, the attacker did not retreat and charged at Alex again, evidently aiming to take advantage of Alex's weakened state to finish him off.

Roar—

At the same time, more giant pythons roared around them, their eyes gleaming with a ferocious, bloodthirsty light as if they wanted to tear him into pieces.

There were seventy to eighty of these pythons, their claws and teeth bared as they surged towards Alex with terrifying ferocity.

Seeing this, Alex's face was filled with bitterness; he had not anticipated facing such a predicament today.

Avril, seeing this, was also tense, holding a long sword and coming over to help Alex.

The mutated Mothman, seeing this, let out a long howl to the sky, and suddenly all the vines and black pythons around them disappeared.

Alex and Avril, seeing this, furrowed their brows. Why had all those things suddenly vanished?

"Your Majesty, the atmosphere around us is becoming increasingly strange," Avril said, holding her sword and looking around vigilantly. Given the oppressive force they had felt earlier, the situation seemed even more dangerous now.

Alex nodded. Ever since he had obtained The Heavenly Sword, he had felt as though they were being watched by something around them.

Unfortunately, they did not have any high-tech detection equipment on them, or they might have been able to see what was lurking.

However, just as Avril finished speaking, the Mothman once again entered into a state of frenzy. In front of him, a huge vortex appeared, and the surroundings suddenly became eerily unpredictable.

Upon seeing this, Alex immediately grabbed Avril and started retreating. Unfortunately, they were a step too slow and were swept into the vortex by a fierce whirlwind.

Then, the entire space underwent a dramatic transformation, and the scenery around them changed abruptly.

Alex and Avril found themselves standing in a vast desert, and there were no plants around, only endless sand.

"This..."

Alex looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, his eyes filled with confusion and astonishment.

"Where are we?" Alex muttered to himself, thinking that an ordinary person would probably be terrified in this situation.

[The surrounding environment is abnormal, the system will temporarily enter a sleep mode.]

Suddenly, the system's voice echoed in Alex's mind. Hearing the familiar system notification, Alex's mouth twisted into a bitter smile. How had everything suddenly changed like this?

Avril, standing close behind Alex, looked around cautiously. She even began to wonder if this place was filled with some unknown dangers.

Rumble...n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Suddenly, the desert trembled, and the ground around them began to crack open.

Then, skeletons started crawling out of the fissures. Each skeleton exuded a chilling and sinister aura.

"Are these... dead zombies?" Seeing this scene, Alex's eyes widened, and his expression became stunned.

These skeletons were clearly the bones of dead humans. Although Alex had experienced many things, seeing this scene still profoundly stirred him.

He had buried so many zombies, never expecting to see so many again.

Now, this spectacle was truly shocking.

Following that, the skeletons began waving their arms and charging towards Alex and Avril.

"Go to hell!"

Seeing the skeletons rush towards them, Alex shouted in anger, his eyes flashing with intense hatred. He swung his sword and instantly split the skeletons in half.

However, it seemed like the skeletons could never be completely killed. Alex fought them one by one, but eventually, his vitality was depleted.

Finally, he collapsed onto the desert ground. Seeing Alex fall, Avril quickly ran over to help him up.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Avril asked, her face filled with worry and tension.

"I'm fine, what about you?" Alex waved his hand dismissively.

"I'm okay too," Avril shook her head.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Just then, a whizzing sound suddenly arose, and several arrows ripped through the air, shooting towards Alex with fierce momentum. Alex had no choice but to grit his teeth; if not for the layer of golden armor on his body, he would have been pierced by thousands of arrows by now.

Even with the golden armor, his body was pierced by several arrows. If not for his exceptional healing abilities, he would have been dead.

"Damn it!" Alex's face twisted in ferocity and anger as he looked at the group of skeletons.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Then the skeletons again waved their weapons and attacked Alex.

"If they can't be killed, then let's destroy them!" Alex scanned his surroundings and summoned the last bits of stellar power from his dantian.

Immediately, a bright and dazzling star formed in front of Alex, releasing an overwhelming force of the stars.

Bang, bang, bang!

The star exploded into a blindingly brilliant burst of stardust, like fireworks blooming, sweeping out waves of stellar energy.

In an instant, the surrounding skeletons were utterly obliterated.

"Phew!"

Seeing the scene unfold, Alex let out a heavy sigh of relief. He had nearly died just moments ago. However, at the moment, he was covered in blood, with three arrows still embedded in his chest. These arrows were the remnants of the skeletons' attack.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Alex wounded, Avril's expression changed, and she quickly called out.

"I'm fine."

Alex wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said to Avril.

"Let's go. This place doesn't seem simple. Let's leave here first."

After speaking, Alex, dragging his tired body, continued to walk out. However, he didn't notice that in the depths of this desert stood a palace radiating an ancient, time-worn aura.

In the great hall of this palace sat a woman dressed in white, her skin so delicate that it seemed breakable by a mere puff, and her beauty was breathtakingly stunning. A blue crystal mark on the center of her forehead emitted a holy luster.

Her beautiful, shiny black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her clear eyes seemed to hold swirling waters. Her delicate features were flawless, as if she were a masterpiece crafted by the heavens, simply perfect.

However, her cold, indifferent demeanor made her difficult to approach.

"My lord."

Suddenly, a figure appeared before the woman, speaking respectfully to her.

"Hmm, how is that little fellow doing?"
