Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

"Roar!" The Mothman, upon seeing the giant sword in Alex's hand, immediately roared towards the sky. The next second, the Mothman opened its mouth and spat out a stream of green liquid towards Alex.

"Hmph! Mere child's play!" Alex sneered, showing a look of disdain, then he raised the giant sword and slashed down fiercely.

Sizzle! A dazzling white beam of light shot out from the laser sword, striking the green liquid hard, instantly exploding into a brilliant, blinding light.

At the same time, Alex quickly retreated backward to avoid being splashed by the green liquid.

Rumble... As the green liquid exploded, the entire mountain trembled as if it was about to collapse.

"What... what is this?" At that moment, the group of vampire warriors, who were battling the vines, unexpectedly found the mountain shaking.

A deafening roar suddenly reverberated through the sky, startling everyone.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh... At the same time, several thick green vines burst out from the mountaintop with destructive force, fiercely whipping the vampire warriors.

Aaah... The vampire warriors hadn't even had time to react before they were torn to pieces by the vines, leaving no trace of their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, the vines had already turned the surrounding area of hundreds of meters into ruins, with various limbs and fragments scattered on the ground.

Hiss... Seeing this scene, the vampire warriors gasped in shock.

"Run!" One of the older vampires yelled, then turned and fled.

Hearing this, the other vampires also scattered in panic, unwilling to stay any longer, not knowing what else might emerge next.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

However, the vines did not let them go. Just as they had taken a few steps to escape, the vines surged out again, lashing viciously at them.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!...

In an instant, the vampire warriors were pulverized into a bloody mess, not even having time to scream.

Swoosh!

Yet the vines were not yet satisfied. Several tendrils suddenly burst through the air, piercing the chests of the vampire warriors, pinning them firmly in place.

Then, the vines slowly constricted, strangling the vampire warriors and turning them into withered corpses that fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of vampire warriors had fallen, leaving only the older vampire alive.

Alex, seeing this, had a bitter expression. The vampire warriors he had brought were so easily defeated.

However, he was not ready to give up. Now that things had come to this, there was no turning back.

"I refuse to believe I can't kill you."

Alex took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming fiercer. He then gripped his laser sword again, ready to face the Mothman.

But just then, a sudden change occurred. The vines, as if possessing a will of their own, flew straight towards Alex.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Alex couldn't help but curse. This was not going as he had imagined.

Although he was not afraid of the vines, being entangled by them would surely draw Mothman's attention.

Once that creature caught up, he was sure he would be doomed. After all, its strength might have reached level nine.

Alex gritted his teeth, ultimately deciding to temporarily avoid the confrontation.

He knew that with his current strength, he was no match for it, not to mention there was also the ever-watchful vine.

Thus, Alex made a decisive move to leave, disappearing into the jungle.

Huff, huff...

Alex ran wildly, panting heavily; his body hadn't been this taxed in a long time. Moreover, his injuries had mostly healed, and at this moment, his body was filled with explosive energy and vitality.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, a dangerous premonition struck, alerting Alex with a strong sense of vigilance.

"Damn it!"

Alex cursed loudly, his figure swiftly dodging to the side.

Boom!

The next second, a football-sized rock smashed into the spot where Alex had just been standing. If not for his keen senses, he would have likely been killed on the spot.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

As Alex moved, more and more rocks flew towards him like dense raindrops. Alex narrowed his eyes; he could clearly see that these incoming rocks were tainted with some kind of poison.

"Damn!"

Alex cursed under his breath, stomped on the ground, and then his whole body shot up into the air like a cannonball, evading the barrage of rocks.

However, before he could catch his breath, the trees around him also began to shake, and countless leaves fell down.

These leaves sped towards Alex like arrows.

Ting, ting, tang, tang...

Alex wielded The Heavenly Sword frantically, blocking the attack of these leaves. But the leaves seemed endless, and no matter how hard Alex tried, he couldn't stop them from falling.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!...

While Alex was defending against these leaves, suddenly, towering ancient trees burst from the ground, then directly stabbed towards Alex from all directions.

"Get out of my way!"

Alex roared furiously, then swung The Heavenly Sword with all his might.

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

The Heavenly Sword sliced through the air, cutting the ancient trees and sending branches and leaves flying, revealing the scene hidden behind the trees.

"Damn it!"

Alex looked at what was behind the ancient trees, his face turning extremely grim.

Behind those ancient trees, shockingly, numerous giant pythons were coiled, each one three to four zhang (approximately 30 to 40 feet) long. Their heads were ferociously hideous, sending shivers down one's spine.

Roar! Roar! Roar!...

At that moment, a series of intimidating roars entered Alex's ears, followed by the sight of these giant pythons opening their massive jaws and spitting out venomous fangs filled with deadly poison.

Alex's pupils dilated rapidly, and he immediately used his agility to dodge the venomous fang attack. Then, he raised The Heavenly Sword with both hands and furiously slashed at the pythons.

Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The Heavenly Sword, carrying the force of thunderous might, smashed fiercely against the bodies of the pythons.

However, the result was shockingly unexpected. Because the pythons were so thick-skinned, The Heavenly Sword couldn't harm them at all.

"How is this possible?" Alex's eyes widened in utter shock; he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

It was known that The Heavenly Sword was made from a mysterious metal, renowned for its incredible hardness, so tough that even bullets could hardly penetrate it.

But now, The Heavenly Sword couldn't breach the defenses of these giant pythons. Moreover, these pythons seemed utterly unharmed, which completely overturned Alex's understanding.

Crack! Crack...

Just then, a crisp sound of cracking echoed. Alex looked down and saw that The Heavenly Sword had developed several cracks.

"Holy crap!" Alex gasped in shock. He was certain that the material of The Heavenly Sword was of the highest quality, even beyond his expectations.
