Chapter 341 Raven
Alex moved with incredible speed, appearing at the city gate almost instantaneously. At the same time, the sky echoed with whistling sounds, and rockets began raining down.
Boom!
The ground trembled, and dust filled the air.
"Haha!" The Mothman princess laughed heartily, clearly pleased with the outcome.
Alex frowned. The firepower was indeed formidable, and if he hadn't dodged in time, he might have been injured. His form flickered rapidly as he evaded the bombardment.
He hadn't anticipated that this place would be so advanced.
Seeing this, the Mothman princess smirked. This wall was built to keep people like them out. Alex breaking through the barrier was simply wishful thinking.
However, she underestimated Alex's strength.
Gripping The Heavenly Sword tightly, Alex dashed to the city gate and swung his sword down fiercely.
Bang!
A loud thud echoed as the gate was cleaved by Alex's strike. It all happened so quickly that no one expected Alex to be this powerful, able to break through the gate with a single sword strike.
"Impossible! How can you break through the gate?" the Mothman princess shouted in disbelief, almost thinking she was hallucinating. She had never encountered such a formidable enemy.
Ignoring her, Alex walked straight into the city. Avril followed, leading the vampire army inside.
The place reeked of blood, and the ground was littered with countless corpses. Yet, these skeletons showed no signs of decay.
Amid these bones, the most striking were the piles of skeletons forming mountains. These towering heaps of remains filled everyone with a deep sense of dread.
Alex could hardly believe that the city contained such vast piles of corpses—countless people must have died here.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a hidden mission. Please clear all the mutated corpses within half an hour.]
The system's voice suddenly echoed in Alex's mind, making him turn abruptly. He saw that the previously dormant corpses had begun to stir.
"Damn it!" Alex cursed, quickening his pace.
Avril followed closely, raising an eyebrow at the scene. She was clearly shocked by the state of this place.
"Roar, roar!"
A horde of monsters, upon seeing Alex and his group, charged at them with blood-red eyes, seemingly having lost all reason.
"Kill!" Alex shouted, swinging The Heavenly Sword with ferocity. A sharp sword light cut through, slicing the zombies in half and spraying blood everywhere.
Avril stood beside Alex, her figure flickering left and right. Any zombies that approached were instantly turned into lifeless corpses.
Although these zombies had decent strength, they were no match for Alex and his companions.
In just a few minutes, the area around the city gate was filled with the bodies of zombies, their corpses shrouded in a thick, eerie black mist. This mist was so sinister that it made Avril feel stiff, as if she were frozen in place.
Seeing this, Alex frowned deeply. He grabbed Avril and struck out with his palm, dispersing the black mist instantly.
He then picked up Avril and retreated swiftly.
Bang!
As their forces collided, Alex felt as though he had struck solid steel, the pain radiating through his body.
Pfft!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, stumbling back several steps. The shock was overwhelming—how could he be overpowered by a mere beast?
But Alex was no ordinary person. Regaining his footing, he charged at the raven once more.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, they were locked in a fierce battle. Each clash sent shockwaves rippling out, shredding the ordinary zombies caught in the aftermath.
"How can this thing be so powerful?" Alex frowned, astonished by the ongoing fight. He had thought his martial skills would easily suppress the raven, but they were evenly matched.
"Could this raven have evolved?" Alex wondered, but regardless, he would not allow himself to be defeated by it. His determination hardened.
"Haah!" he roared, unleashing his inner strength, which surged and concentrated into his fist before he struck the raven with full force.
"Screech!"
The raven shrieked in pain, clearly sensing the danger. A flicker of fear appeared in its eyes.
"Heh, feeling scared now? Too late!" Alex sneered, then increased the speed of his attacks.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One punch after another, the raven was forced to retreat continuously. Its body accumulated numerous wounds, looking utterly miserable.
Yet, the raven did not concede; it fought back with even more ferocity. Seeing this, Alex focused, no longer underestimating the raven.
"Get lost!"
Alex roared, channeling all his strength into his legs and delivering a powerful kick to the raven's stomach.
Pfft!
The raven spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.
"Heh, you're nothing, raven," Alex sneered coldly. He leaped forward, quickly catching up to the raven and stomping on its head.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The raven seemed to sense the killing intent emanating from Alex. It let out a series of mournful cries before transforming into a cloud of smoke and vanishing.
"Hmm? It escaped?" Alex frowned, finding the situation increasingly bizarre. The raven, though not exceedingly powerful, wasn't weak either. How could it escape so easily?
"We need to get out of this cursed place," Alex said, taking a deep breath and grabbing Avril's hand to leave.
"What's this?"
Suddenly, Alex halted, his pupils constricting sharply. Before him, a dense horde of zombies had appeared.
