"Hmph! Would I, the mighty Battle Demon, ever lie?" The Battle Demon snorted coldly, his words filled with arrogance.


    "Alright, since that''s the case, I''ll believe you for now," Alex said, shrugging.


    "You should address me as Senior Battle Demon," the Battle Demon snorted.


    "Enough with the games, let''s get to the point. Why did you turn this mountain into this state?" Alex interrupted, asking directly.


    "Never mind why I turned this mountain into this. All you need to know is that I can help you leave this ce," the Battle Demon replied coldly.


    "Help me leave here?" Alex frowned.


    "Yes, follow me," the Battle Demon sneered, then flew off into the distance.


    Alex hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to follow.


    Soon, they arrived at a canyon.


    The canyon was incredibly serene, surrounded by lush green trees, creating a scene of vibrant greenery.


    "Why is this ce so strange? I can''t sense any dangerous aura," Alex thought, astonished, as he cautiously observed his surroundings.


    "Roar!"


    Suddenly, Alex heard a roar.


    Immediately, arge beast charged at Alex.


    It was a ck tiger, covered in thick fur, with blood-red eyes and exposed fangs, exuding a strong bloodthirsty aura.


    "Not worth mentioning," Alex said dismissively.


    Bang!


    Alex rushed forward, punching the ck tiger in the chest.


    The tiger staggered back, its mouth opening wide as blood gushed out.


    Roar!


    The ck tiger roared in anger, leaping at Alex again, its ws slicing through the air with a fierce wind.


    Alex remained calm, stomping his right foot on the ground and using the rebound force to leap into the air.


    Boom!


    Alex''s left leg kicked out forcefully, striking the ck tiger''s head.


    Howl!


    The ck tiger cried out in pain, howling miserably.


    "Die!" Alex''s eyes shed like lightning as he swiftly charged toward the ck tiger. He clenched his right fist and mmed it hard into the tiger''s head.


    Bang!


    Blood sttered from the ck tiger''s forehead, staining Alex''s clothes red.


    The massive body of the ck tiger copsed with a thud, causing the ground to tremble.


    "Phew…"


    Alex exhaled heavily, looking at the wound on his arm with a wry smile on his face.


    To avoid the ck tiger''s attack, he had used all his strength but was still injured by its ws. The wound was still throbbing with pain.


    Luckily, the ck tiger was dead. Otherwise, in his current state, he wouldn''t stand a chance against it.


    "I can''t believe the first thing I did after arriving was fight a zombie tiger," Alex shook his head helplessly, then looked around.


    He was standing on a high slope, surrounded by countless ck tigers.


    Although these ck tigers were rtively low-level, they made up for it in sheer numbers.


    "Roar!"N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Suddenly, a few ck tigers seemed to catch the scent of a human. Their eyes gleamed with ferocity as they roared and charged at Alex.


    "Damn it!"


    Alex''s face darkened. He knew these tigers must have smelled the blood of the one he had just killed and were now targeting him.


    Swish! Swish! Swish!


    Alex quickly drew his dagger and, with swift movements, killed several ck tigers.


    But it was clear that more ck tigers were arriving, baring their fangs and ws as they lunged at Alex.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Alex struck out with his dagger, slicing two approaching ck tigers in half, then took off running.


    However, there were too many tigers, and even a brief moment was enough for them to encircle him.


    "I''m going to ughter all of you today," Alex muttered under his breath.


    Roar!


    Just as Alex was about to make his escape, a thunderous roar echoed from afar.


    Hearing the beast''s roar, the ck tigers, which had been swarming towards Alex, suddenly turned and fled in fear.


    "What is this thing that even scares these beasts?" Alex was stunned.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a white blur shot out, mming into Alex''s shoulder.


    Alex felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, nearly causing him to fall, but he managed to brace himself against a nearby rock.


    When Alex regained hisposure, he found a small, snow-white snake coiled on his shoulder.


    The snake was about half the size of his palm, its entire body translucent and beautiful, but the fang at the corner of its mouth was terrifying.


    "What the hell is this?" Alex couldn''t help but curse.


    This little snake looked like a pet, but the terrifying aura it had disyed was entirely unexpected.


    "Little guy, get lost!" Alex red at the snake and shouted, clearly sensing that this snake was no ordinary creature.


    Hiss!


    The snake let out a sharp cry and darted forward like lightning, biting Alex''s neck.


    "You little thing, you''re courting death," Alex''s face changed slightly as he quickly reached out with his left hand to grab the snake, trying to fling it away.


    Swoosh!


    The snake''s tail flicked lightly, piercing Alex''s hand.


    Hiss!


    The intense pain made Alex gasp.


    This snake was not only highly venomous but also incredibly fast.


    "I can''t let you live," Alex said coldly. He released the snake''s tail with his left hand, then clenched his right fist and punched the snake''s head.


    Bang!


    Alex''s punch was powerful, shattering the snake''s head.


    Stay connected with empire


    At the same time, Alex regained the use of his left hand.


    He tossed the snake aside and looked at the wound on his hand, frowning.


    "What kind of snake was that? How could it be so formidable?" Alex touched his left wrist, where a deep wound still gaped, blood trickling down his fingers.


    "This must be an ability user," Alex sighed, then sat cross-legged on the ground to heal.


    He knew he had to quickly improve his strength, or his future would be fraught with difficulties.


    "Hmm? What''s going on over there?"


    Suddenly, Alex opened his eyes, lifting his head to look into the distance, his gaze sharp.


    At the far end of his vision, he saw numerous zombies, densely packed.


    Roar!


    A loud roar suddenly echoed through the sky, and a massive figure came charging from afar.


    This figure moved incredibly fast, reaching Alex''s vicinity in the blink of an eye.


    "Is that the Wolf King?" Alex squinted.


    He remembered encountering such a beast when he first arrived in the apocalypse dimension.


    At that time, the Wolf King was at the fifth rank, equivalent to a human warrior''s peak sixth rank.


    "It seems the Wolf King was also disturbed by the ck tigers, so it came out," Alex murmured. "If I kill this Wolf King, I should earn quite a few apocalypse points, right?"


    Swish!


    The Wolf King''s blood-red eyes fixed on Alex, growling menacingly from its throat.
