Two spinning blades flew out of the oasis at an astonishing speed, heading straight for them.

"Crack..."

The fruit trees blocking the oasis snapped in two.

The survivors had no time to react or resist before the swiftly approaching blades pierced their bodies.

Ahhhhh

Endless blood was spilled across the desert, accompanied by cries of agony echoing through the sands.

The sharp blade spun back and flew back into the oasis.

All the survivors were cut in half at the waist.

"A monster...there's a monster..."

"There are monsters in the oasis..."

"Everyone, run!"

The sudden turn of events startled the survivors who hadn't yet reached the oasis.

They scrambled and stumbled as they ran wildly toward the road.

At that moment, Ye Li, who was organizing documents in the RV, heard the commotion outside and quickly looked out the window toward the oasis.

A monster with a human body and a crocodile head slowly emerged from the oasis.

This monster was three meters tall, clad in iron armor, and its eyes were filled with rage and murderous intent.

It gripped two crescent-shaped blades, each nearly a meter long, tightly in its hands, their blades gleaming with a chilling light.

After the monster emerged from the oasis, its gaze quickly locked onto the fleeing survivors.

He began to gather power in his crescent blade, and then threw it out with great force.

"brush!"

A sharp whistling sound rang out.

The crescent blade traced a strange arc in the air like lightning.

"Puff puff puff..."

A series of dull thuds rang out as the survivors who were desperately trying to escape were cut in half at the waist by the crescent blade.

None survived.

"So strong."

Ye Li couldn't help but gasp, secretly marveling at the sight.

"bite!"

A notification sound suddenly rang out on the screen.

You have awakened the slumbering Desert Butcher. (Desert Butcher: A mutated creature affected by the power of ascension)

"Desert Butcher?"

Ye Li murmured to himself, then looked at the little stone monkey lying on the massage chair, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Wukong, do you want to go down and fight it?"

"Chirp chirp."

—It's too hot outside, this monkey can't unleash its full potential.

The little stone monkey decisively shook its head.

"cut!"

Ye Li rolled his eyes, gave the little stone monkey a hard flick on the forehead, and then lifted the Barrett out of the car again.

He got out of the car from the left door, so he didn't attract the attention of the Desert Butcher.

He raised his gun and aimed it at the Desert Butcher's chest.

My finger gently pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

It was accompanied by a crisp and loud gunshot.

The bullet, carrying the force of thunder, shot towards the Desert Butcher.

However, unexpectedly, the desert butcher seemed to have been aware of it all along.

It quickly raised the crescent blade in its hand and instinctively held it in front of it.

Bang!

The bullet made a dull thud the moment it struck the crescent blade.

Surprisingly, the weapon didn't penetrate.

It merely forced the desert butcher back a few meters.

The crescent blade in the Desert Butcher's hand trembled incessantly; the impact of that shot had numbed his tiger's mouth.

"roar!"

The Desert Butcher was enraged, and at the same time, it discovered Ye Li hiding behind the car.

It roared angrily, leaped into the air, and spun 360 degrees to gather its strength.

Then, he suddenly hurled the crescent blade in his hand at Ye Li.

Ye Li stared wide-eyed at the rapidly approaching crescent blade.

I instinctively exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Then he quickly dodged to the side behind the car.

The crescent blade arrived in an instant, sweeping across the spot where it had just stood.

Fortunately, Ye Li dodged quickly enough and narrowly avoided the fatal attack.
