Apocalypse - Evil Shelter System

Chapter 374 West District School

"Ding! Detected that the host is under attack by the Demon Insect Tribe. System upgrade complete. Reward: 10,000 Apocalypse Coins."

"Ding! For each Demon Insect killed by the host, 1,000 Apocalypse Coins will be rewarded, and the Sin City can be upgraded."

"The system upgrade is complete? This upgrade couldn't have come at a better time!" Alex was overjoyed, feeling an immense sense of relief.

"Roar!"

"Screech!"

The dozen or so Demon Insects hissed and roared at Alex and Addison, their scarlet tongues flicking menacingly. Their bloodthirsty eyes gleamed with a violent coldness, exuding an extreme killing intent.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"These creatures are all at the peak of innate cultivation, and there are so many of them. A frontal assault will surely end in defeat. We have to use strategy," Alex thought, quickly making a decision.

"Addison, I'll distract the enemies. You find a chance to escape and don't worry about me!" Alex transmitted his thoughts to Addison.

Addison was stunned for a moment but then nodded in agreement.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Just as Addison was about to agree, a series of dark shadows suddenly shot out from behind the Demon Insects, heading straight for Alex and Addison.

"Damn it, I can't underestimate any of these bugs," Alex cursed, dodging the attacks from the dark shadows, narrowly avoiding several close calls.

"Bang!"

"Splurt!"

Despite his efforts, Alex couldn't completely evade the attacks. His right arm was torn open, leaving a gruesome wound that bled profusely, staining his clothes red.

"Damn beasts!" Alex gritted his teeth, his gaze sweeping over the densely packed Demon Insects around him, a fierce look in his eyes.

"Roar!"

Just as Alex was about to go all out, a powerful beast roar suddenly echoed, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a massive wave.

"Hmm?" Alex frowned, looking towards the direction of the beast's roar.

At the same time, a terrifying aura quickly swept in from afar, reaching the valley in the blink of an eye.

"Courting death!" Guzman's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent.

"Boom!"

Guzman stomped the ground forcefully, causing a thunderous explosion. His figure vanished into a blur and reappeared in front of the Demon Insect in the blink of an eye. He raised his right fist, which carried immense power, and smashed it down.

"Bang!"

With a deep, muffled sound, Guzman's fist crushed the Demon Insect's head. Its massive body was sent flying and landed with a thud.

The heavy thud echoed throughout the valley, raising a cloud of dust.

After killing the Demon Insect with one punch, Guzman turned to face the remaining Demon Insects, his eyes narrowing and a dangerous smirk forming on his lips. He said coldly, "You insignificant ants dare to challenge me? You've grown tired of living."

Before the words were fully spoken, Guzman pushed off the ground, his figure darting forward like a lightning bolt, leaving behind a blurred afterimage that made it impossible to track his movements.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

In an instant, Guzman moved like a gust of wind, effortlessly killing a Demon Insect with each punch. In just a few minutes, thousands of Demon Insects lay dead at his feet.

"Glug~"

Watching this brutal scene, Addison's face turned slightly pale, a hint of fear appearing in her beautiful eyes.

"Is this the power of the commander?" Addison swallowed nervously, thinking to herself.

Although she had stayed in the Star Pavilion for nearly a century, she had never witnessed Guzman's true strength. Today, she finally saw it firsthand.

"Phew~" Alex let out a deep breath, a faint smile of relief appearing on his pale face. "It's a good thing you arrived; otherwise, we would have been doomed today."

"Commander, what should we do now?" Addison asked Guzman worriedly. Both she and Alex were severely injured, and staying here any longer would mean being devoured by the Demon Insects sooner or later.

"Retreat for now," Guzman said with a frown. The commotion just now had attracted many Demon Insects, and if they didn't leave before the insects responded, escaping would become even more difficult.

Guzman immediately ordered his soldiers to retreat. Taking advantage of the moment, Guzman and Addison quickly withdrew as well.

Meanwhile, on the southern edge of the valley, four figures stood atop a towering mountain range.

They were none other than Melvin and his companions.
