Seeing a hint of confusion on David’s face, Edmund’s smile became even more disdainful. “What’s the matter, scared? Hahaha! Fear from a coward! You will never conquer the Wasteland world!” Edmund seemed to have forgotten the fear of death, continuing to spew harsh words.
“Noisy!” David’s eyes turned cold, and he spoke sharply. Then, he placed a foot on Edmund’s skull.
“Smack!” Edmund’s head was instantly crushed into a pile of flesh by David. And thus, the most powerful force in the Wasteland world, the Zerg, was completely eliminated by David.
All the surviving creatures in the Wasteland world turned into black smoke and disappeared in an instant. There was no trace of the Zerg’s existence left.
However, David knew that even though he had eliminated the Zerg, his greatest enemy was now revealed—the Divine Clan. He had never heard anyone mention this clan before, and he had only heard of its existence in legends.
So when Edmund mentioned it, David was still somewhat puzzled. But looking at Edmund’s arrogant and confident demeanor, he felt that this guy wasn’t deceiving him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have revealed this information before his death.
Edmund’s purpose in saying all this was to intimidate David. He was gambling on whether he could scare David and win himself a chance at survival. So he had to disclose some information that David would find interesting. He guessed correctly; David was indeed interested in this information. However, he had no intention of letting Edmund live.
Dealing decisively with people like him had become a rule of survival in David’s heart. Therefore, it was destined that Edmund would not survive. As David looked at Edmund’s shattered head, a sinister smile still hanging on his face.
Suddenly, David felt a sense of horror that he had never experienced before—an unknown fear. It seemed like there were a pair of eyes watching him from high above. .
David quickly raised his head to look at the sky. The sky was still cloudless, and even the previously overcast scenes had suddenly changed. Upon careful examination of every corner of the sky, David didn’t notice anything unusual. Could it be his imagination? David was puzzled.
“What’s wrong?” Sally noticed David’s unusual behavior and hurried over to ask.
David shook his head and didn’t share his feelings with her. The Divine Clan hadn’t fully appeared yet. If he told the others, it would only needlessly make them anxious. Seeing that David was okay, Sally finally relaxed.
Then, David suppressed his inner doubts and looked again at Edmund’s shattered head.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for killing the King of the Zerg!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining one thousand advanced pronuclei!]
[Congratulations to the host for gaining an opportunity to upgrade the Staff of Barren Earth!]
[Congratulations to the host for triggering a hundredfold critical hit, gaining one million advanced pronuclei!]
The system reward announcements continued to ring in David’s ears. In this battle, he had received generous rewards, and he even had the opportunity to upgrade his Staff of Barren Earth. David, however, wasn’t in a hurry to upgrade the staff in his hand. Instead, he initiated an extraction.
[DING! Congratulations to the host for extracting one thousand black pronuclei!]
[DING! Congratulations to the host for extracting one thousand green pronuclei!]
[DING! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the species compendium!]
“Hmm? The species compendium?” David wondered in his mind. Then, a yellowed ancient book that only David could see suddenly appeared before his eyes. The cover of the book seemed to be made of some kind of animal skin, with strange characters written on it that David couldn’t recognize, but he knew they must spell “species compendium.”
This made David more convinced of Edmund’s words. This world was not just inhabited by humans, Zerg, and beasts. There were also the Divine Clan and other hidden species in the darkness. This species compendium contained information about various species.
David felt that this was a timely gift. Now, he could uncover more secrets about this world, perhaps even the reason for the apocalypse. So, with a thought, the species compendium appeared in his hand. He was about to take a look when suddenly, David felt an intense, anxious gaze on his back!
This gaze was like a fiery flame, piercing his soul and making it difficult to endure! David quickly threw the species compendium into his inventory and raised the Staff of wasteland world, turning around rapidly.
“Who?” David shouted loudly, following the unsettling feeling. At the same time, the members of his team, including Viola and Emlyn, had all fallen into unconsciousness without him noticing. David’s heart suddenly tightened. He looked up and saw that the sky had suddenly filled with three blood-red moons! The red moons looked as if they had just been dredged from a pool of blood, and their color was horrifying. Just a glance was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
“Blood moons? Why are there blood moons, and why three?” David frowned. Meanwhile, the gaze that had made him uneasy returned. And the three blood moons suddenly began to rotate in a strange pattern.
This made David suddenly feel dizzy, as if he had been thrown into the vast cosmos, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t suppress this feeling of faintness. He could only grit his teeth and endure it. In a daze, he saw the three blood moons suddenly stop.In the midst of them, a black crack appeared.
“A rift? Another damn rift!” David cursed angrily. He knew that whenever a rift appeared in the sky, it was a bad omen.
Then, from the rift emerged a figure of immense height and majesty! David’s heart skipped a beat. He wanted to get a clear look at the figure’s appearance, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t see it clearly. It was as if there was a veil of mist between them.
David endured the headache and had already stored the Staff of wasteland worldin the system inventory. So he quickly drew the Space Blade and the alloy dagger with both hands, attempting to cut through the uncomfortable feeling.
But as soon as he raised the two blades.”Crack!” Two crisp sounds rang out instantly! The alloy dagger and Space Blade had broken into two pieces under the pressure, shocking David!
The towering figure suddenly shrank and slowly approached David. He dropped the two broken blades, attempting to retrieve the Staff of wasteland world from the system inventory. However, he realized that the staff was his only weapon now. The unknown figure before him was clearly not someone that ordinary weapons could withstand. So David abandoned the idea. He raised his head and quietly watched the blurry silhouette in front of him.
