Apocalypse Gachapon

Ambush!

And it was from newcomers!

Airezeiya’s heart sank directly; this was what she feared most.

Nothing was more terrifying than one’s own kind—this was the conclusion and truth she had reached after surviving the apocalypse for seven or eight years.

Moreover, she understood even more clearly that since they had been targeted and attacked, it at least proved one thing: the opponents were stronger than they were.

Victory or defeat would ultimately be determined by fighting, but confidence was not.

Airezeiya was already at the rear of the team, and with this mindset, she immediately retreated.

The cold gleams were mostly concentrated on those at the very front, allowing her to withdraw from the danger zone calmly.

When she looked up again, Airezeiya saw three black shadows charging into the team.

Those were Ye Zhongming, Jie Kui, and Shi Kangbu.

Ye Zhongming had set traps here. Those things were not fatal, at least not to nine-star evolved, but once hit, they were particularly troublesome because Ye Zhongming had coated them with some toxins that would cause a slight numbing effect.

At the same time the traps were triggered, something Airezeiya, being at the rear of the team, did not see was that some vine-like things suddenly stabbed out from the ground, with even greater power than the cold gleams. Most people were pierced in the soles of their feet by these things.

It was at this moment that Ye Zhongming and the other two used their respective abilities to charge over. As warriors of the Star-Eye Clan, sneak attacks were their specialty.

Before even getting close, Ye Zhongming’s Double Poison Shadow appeared. There was only one black shadow, not very conspicuous, but it abruptly appeared in the middle of the target team, instantly exploding and producing a mental energy strike that caused these people, already in brief chaos from the trap attacks, to freeze.

The three seized the opportunity to charge into the team.

Within the first second of entering, they took out three people.

Everything was going as planned, extremely smoothly, but Ye Zhongming and the other two did not get greedy. Taking advantage of the moment the opponents were just reacting, they immediately retreated, with Ye Zhongming using three black shadows for cover.

Aside from Ye Zhongming’s improved version of the Black Shadow Giant Possession, when it came to mental attacks, if the opponents were already prepared, the effect wasn’t very good. After all, he couldn’t inject too much mental energy into the black shadows, as it would affect his condition later.

With three companions suddenly killed and seeing that the other side had only three people, some in the target team immediately flew into a rage, directly charging forward to launch a counterattack. Others felt something was wrong and instinctively retreated like Airezeiya. A team that still had eight people was split into two parts at this moment.

The distance between them wasn’t very great; those who launched the attack would realize the next second that some companions hadn’t followed, and they would certainly pull back.

But Ye Zhongming definitely wouldn’t give them such a chance.

Behind the four charging forward, a huge vine net rose up, separating them.

Airezeiya’s already sinking heart now sank to the bottom.

Traps, ambush, killing, and then more traps.

To say the opponents weren’t fully prepared would be self-deception. At this point, she had figured it out: they were here to kill. For what? Points were the best treasure!

She turned from backing away to turning around and fleeing. She no longer held the mindset of waiting to see how things developed; instead, she wanted to escape this place immediately.

As for who would signal the captain’s side… whoever wanted to could do it. She would signal only after reaching safety. If she signaled now, even a one-second delay could mean death.

Airezeiya suddenly lowered her head as a cold gleam shot out above her scalp. The killing energy on it made her shudder.

There were people on the side, too!

She stopped her body and retreated again, but this time toward the companions who had retreated with her. She cleverly used her companions to cover half her body.

The petite frame of a female body provided some advantage at this moment.

Airezeiya held her combat knife horizontally, quickly scanning the surroundings. She saw that none of those who had retreated had been hit, realizing that the arrow wasn’t aimed at them!

She turned back just in time to see one of those who had charged out fall down. A vibrating arrow was embedded in the back of his neck.

Meanwhile, a shield warrior, an aura warrior, and two others had already appeared from the surroundings and were very close. Of the four who had charged out, one was already dead, and the rest were surrounded, at a disadvantage in numbers.

“Pull the net!”

Someone suddenly shouted, reaching out to pull the risen vine net. He had seen clearly that this thing was rising due to the force of its launch and was now starting to descend. If pulled downward, the process would accelerate, and the separated team would reunite.

The others reached out.

This process certainly wouldn’t take long. Airezeiya also went to grab the net, but before they could touch it, light buzzing sounds appeared, almost forming a continuous string.

These people immediately forgot about pulling the net and turned to defend.

It was the sound of bowstrings being released.

In their line of sight, a person had already stood up from behind cover, holding a bow on each side of their body. Right now, the bow on one side was firing, with speed unimaginably fast—firing five arrows at a time, with the next volley almost every two seconds!

It was clear that these arrows weren’t imbued with any abilities, only the attacking power of the bow and arrows themselves, but that was terrifying enough. If not dodged, they would still be injured.

Several people continuously used their weapons to deflect these arrows. One of them, seeing that this Six-Eye Race member was alone, roared and charged over.

It must be said that his charge was very skillful, likely one of his abilities. His weapon swung forward, tracing a triangular energy mark. This mark was like a wave, knocking away all the arrows in front. Under the cover of this “wave,” he quickly approached the Six-Eye Race member.

But the closer he got, the more he could see the mockery on his opponent’s face. Subconsciously, he looked at the other hand of the Six-Eye Race member, which was already raised, with a heavy crossbow aimed at him. A thick arrow was already shot out.

“No!”

This person screamed in terror. They were too close; it was too close to avoid this attack. His whole body trembled, feeling death approaching, but he also swung his weapon at the same time.

Mutual destruction was the best outcome he could achieve.

Unfortunately, this fully charged arrow did not give him such a chance. It pierced through his body, sending him to hell.

Airezeiya witnessed her companion’s death. Just as she was about to do something, a huge force suddenly came from behind, knocking several of them forward.

She, who had remained relatively calm until now, stumbled and looked back. The opponent’s shield warrior had already knocked several separated companions forward, hitting them through the vine net. Several weapons had already pierced the bodies of her companions.

Airezeiya could no longer maintain her composure. She pressed one hand to the ground, and with a bang, a gray mist rose, enveloping her.
