Apocalypse After

Disguised In The Shadow

Three days later.

“After rushing, have we not been close to the destination yet?”

Aurora asked Alexander. Meanwhile, the young man did not seem to care much. He took a short breath before saying.

“Besabarlah. We'll get to the location tomorrow morning. Although the environment where the various monsters lived was uncertain, but some of them stayed in his territory without moving too far.

We try to avoid dangerous spots. Anyway, now we're out of the safe zone. It's uncertain when we'll meet the monsters. I don't know what type and at what level. We'd better move quietly without hurry.”

Hearing Alexander's reminder, Aurora nodded with a serious expression. From the very beginning of being a hunter, he had almost never gone too far from the shelter where humans had taken shelter.

Even if traveling far, the woman passes through a relatively safe zone and is usually used to travel from one shelter to another. Arguably, this was his first experience going deep into the wild, into a dangerous zone where no one knew what awaited them.

“Sstt!”

Alexander instantly pulled Aurora in his arms and covered her mouth. He leaned against a tree near the bush and then covered their bodies with robes.

At first, Aurora felt shocked and embarrassed. However upon seeing Alexander's clear flat expression had no other intent, the woman slowly became calmer.

A while later, some monsters like deer walked by not far from them. There were eight tails, two of them were level 2 creatures. Although it looked not too dangerous, but the creatures were quite powerful.

Alexander had no intention of going on a hunt, so chose to hide. In fact, he felt somewhat reluctant because the venison was edible. But fighting it is quite troublesome.

Not all monster meat can be eaten. Almost all of them are poisonous except for a few exceptions. The meat of sparrows, deer, and some types contain toxins that are not so dangerous. So it can be neutralized and then eaten. Whereas meat without poison at all, it was simply too rare.

While the meat of insects such as spiders, centipedes, scorpions, and some others are very toxic. Not at all to eat.

The main reason Alexander chose not to fight was a precaution. The young man had no idea what was going to happen in the wild. If he fought, he would not end up unharmed. Moreover, no one knew whether the scent of flesh and blood from that deer would attract even more monsters that were far more dangerous. So it's better to make the safe choice.

After a while, the creatures left.

By the time Alexander let go, Aurora couldn't help but ask, “Did you not want to fight them? We can win, right?”

“Better to avoid things that can be avoided. We have one goal, which is to get the miracle root. Something not related to that .. forget it!” alexander was cold and firm.

“...”

Aurora nodded. Although he had some opinions, but it was not the time to argue with the young man. Not to mention, the woman felt that Alexander was really not simple. It seemed that the young man had some experience of being in such a dangerous wild.

In the end, the two of them continued on without much talking.

Next morning.

“What a beautiful sight. It is a pity that such a place becomes a nest of ferocious monsters and can not be lived.”

Seeing the view of such a beautiful valley where many trees were very tall and shady, flowers bloomed, even a very beautiful waterfall in the distance made Aurora mutter with a depressed expression.

Meanwhile, Alexander looked at both sides of the valley. The high cliffs that are seen are usually a playground of bird monsters. Unfortunately, they are not good targets.

Bird-type monsters did not mean to give the ability to grow wings to fly. There were some bird-type monsters that could provide such abilities, but they were usually at level 3 or above.

The long-range vision ability provided by a level 2 bird-type monster was rather bland. Despite the possibility of a speed explosion capability, Alexander already had one. What's more, there are many root miracles that are better than that.

Up to this far to catch a random bird ...

Something really wasted!

About three hours later, Alexander and Aurora began exploring the valley. The territory was vast, so they were in no hurry to choose.

In addition to some weak insects such as caterpillars, aphids, and such. For example, the emerald-colored praying mantis. Miracle root obtained from the creature can be quite good, but Alexander and Aurora did not choose it.

The reason is ...not the special type (unique and rare).

Although good, but such praying mantis is rather common. So they chose to avoid it.

Only, Alexander and Aurora did not expect much either. Special types of creatures are very rare. They are unique and have differences with each other. There are only one or no more than five in the world.

It can be thought of as an extreme mutation that makes it very, very different.

Despite not being able to find any special type creatures, Alexander and Aurora hope to at least meet a mutated creature. For example, it is still a species of emerald praying mantis, but with an additional horn or sickle difference.

By the time Alexander walked under a giant tree over ten meters in diameter, the young man suddenly felt a bad premonition. He looked left and right, observing the top of the tree, and the surrounding environment but could not find anything.

Crash it!

At the moment of hearing that voice, Alexander's expression changed. Although he responded immediately, he knew it was too late.

Just then, Alexander and Aurora felt their footing collapse. The dry leaves they had poked before turned out to be a trap. They both fell into a big hole.

“CARE-BE CAREFUL!”

After shouting, Alexander immediately stabbed into the wall with his spear. Only, the ground was not very dense so he still slid down. Even so, the momentum of the fall could be slowed.

Aurora herself also used her sword to slow down the fall of the two of them.

Upon reaching the bottom of the hole, Alexander and Aurora looked up to realize they were nearly fifteen meters underground.

The environment in which they are located is fairly humid, but not too wet. The bottom is also wider than the top vault where they fell.

At the time of moving, Alexander felt he was stepping on something rather soft and chewy. In response, he instantly retreated and stabbed him with a spear. But there is no other movement. Instead, he felt that his spear was slightly stuck.

After pulling it out, Alexander touched the tip of his spear and felt the textured object somewhat sticky.

Aurora herself continued to look around vigilantly. It was dark and they saw nothing.

At that time, Alexander who finished checking directly shouted loudly, “NOT BELOW, BUT ON THE WALL!”

Hearing Alexander's cry, Aurora immediately stared towards the slightly tilted wall. They both looked around.

Just then, a black shadow suddenly shot towards him.

SWOOSH! DING!

Alexander instantly swung his spear swiftly, making it hit something hard and heavy. Due to the strong impact, the young man was pushed back several meters. He was not frightened at all and instead immediately reminded.

“Focus to the middle and don't get close to the wall!”

Following Alexander's words, Aurora moved to the center, where the light from above still shone on them.

Alexander himself also immediately rushed to the place where the light was. At that moment, he gave orders.

“Eject small torch, turn it on and then dispose in different direction together with me.”

Aurora nodded heavily. He held a sword in his right hand and held two torches in his left hand. Alexander himself took out a stone that was usually used as a bat. With a quick and determined movement, he directly lit the two torches and took one.

“Now!”

Without waiting for long, Alexander immediately gave a warning. The torch was thrown into the opposite corner of the room and the glowing red light instantly illuminated the ‘kamar’.

Just then, Alexander and Aurora found out what they were up against.

The black net seemed so dense in the wall area. Not just a net, but a lot of bones are there and also some parcels of ‘stock food’. The bones were not only the bones of low-level monsters, but ...

There are also quite a lot of human bones!

“I have good and bad news for you, Aurora. Which one do you want to hear first?”

Hearing Alexander who was still asking in such a tense and dangerous moment made Aurora exclaim.

“Of course good news, because our situation is already very bad!”

Aurora's shout made Alexander become a little calmer. Raising the corner of his lips, the young man immediately said the bad news.

“Bad news, it's hard to fight in this place. Even if it won, it would be impossible without severe injuries. The good news ..”

Alexander looked at the creature that was on the wall then let out a long sigh.

“It looks like we have found a suitable miracle root.”
