Chapter 339 Recollection
The woman began to speak, her voice gentle and melodious, like the sound of heavenly music.
"They have arrived, should we intervene?" the figure asked, bowing to the woman.
"Has he found it?" Upon hearing this, the woman's expression changed slightly, her eyes sparkling with an unusual light, a hint of anticipation flashing deep within them.
"Yes," the figure nodded.
"No need to intervene; let's just wait for him here," the woman said slowly.
"Yes," the figure nodded again and then withdrew.
The woman then took out a jade pendant, her eyes flashing with madness.
"Today will be the day to capture you all," she murmured softly.
Meanwhile, Alex was frantically running, dragging Avril along.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Avril, sensing something was amiss, couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing," Alex replied calmly, his face set with determination. He knew he needed to heal and leave this place as soon as possible.
But just as he finished speaking, they both stepped into a void and, the next moment, found themselves in a strange place.
Looking up in astonishment, they only saw the immense palace before them.
"This mark looks like it belongs to the Mothman," Alex muttered to himself, surprised that the Mothman would have a palace here.
At that moment, Avril screamed in panic.
She struggled violently, displaying extreme fear and terror. For standing in front of Avril was a mummified corpse.
This corpse was greenish-blue, its eyes emitting a faint green glow, radiating an evil and terrifying aura.
A decaying and sinister smell filled the air, sending shivers down one's spine.
Avril looked at the corpse, her face pale, having never seen such a terrifying mummy before.
"Avril, don't be afraid!" Seeing Avril's reaction, Alex's expression changed, and he called out directly.
"What is this thing?" Alex looked at the mummy with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes. He could clearly feel that the corpse poison carried by this mummy was much stronger than any he had encountered before.
"This is a Mummy King, specifically tasked with guarding this palace," Avril had by now discovered the identity of their opponent. She too was curious as to why a mere mummy could exchange blows with someone as powerful as Alex, not realizing it was such a formidable being.
"A Mummy King?" Hearing Avril's words, Alex's eyes sparkled as he stared at the mummy before him. He could feel the immense corpse energy within it.
If he could devour this mummy, perhaps he could use its corpse energy to fully restore his own strength. Then, he might be able to leave this place.
Thinking this, Alex's gaze hardened, filled with intense battle intent, ready to completely obliterate the mummy.
Roar!
The mummy let out a roar, swinging its arms as it charged at Alex with incredible speed.
Alex sidestepped, barely avoiding the attack.
He then gathered all his strength into one punch and launched it at the mummy.
Boom—
In an instant, the mummy was blasted away by Alex's punch. It fell heavily to the ground, its chest caving in, forming a hole surrounded by a web of dense cracks, reminiscent of shattered glass. Moreover, the hole rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, the mummy disintegrated into a pile of ashes scattering in the wind.
Seeing this, Alex too breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt increasingly perplexed. Recalling the path they had taken, Alex suddenly had an epiphany.
They must have been deliberately led here; otherwise, everything couldn't be such a coincidence. As he pondered without finding an answer, there was a sudden roar in front of him, and a wide path appeared before the two of them.
Avril, holding the only instrument they had, looked ahead. The passage was very wide, and at the depth of the corridor, there seemed to be a mysterious power lingering.
Seeing this, Alex's lips curved into a slight smile. It seemed that the answers they were looking for were inside.
"Stay behind me; let's go meet the master of this place together," Alex said with certainty. This must be the final destination. The Mothman wanted to trap him here, and although they used clever means, all these efforts were ultimately in vain.
Then, Alex led Avril down the path.
In a moment, they reached the end of the corridor. There stood a stone door, carved with various patterns.
"What is this?" Alex scanned the images on the stone door, his brow slightly furrowed as he spoke.
Rumble...
Following that, the stone door automatically opened, revealing a pitch-black passage.
