Apocalypse: System of lotteries



"Merlin, spotting you driving over, told the bear, 'Ming is coming, so we can go fight. This way, he'll see how brave we are... .'"

"Merlin made a daring leap, croaking in midair, 'Fatty, let's see who's more venomous!' The bear stayed put, not rushing into the attack. It contemplated Merlin's advice about efficiently utilizing resources."

"You did right by staying put," Ming had already arrived, eyeing the gigantic sandpit in front of him. A funnel-shaped pit, approximately 30 meters in diameter and about 10 meters deep. Around the pit, the bones and skins of various creatures lay scattered.

Upon seeing the mutated creature below, Ming confirmed his suspicion.

An Antlion!

This insect, known as the 'child of hell', had a mouth like two long knives, a small head and thorax, and a huge abdomen. Antlions make their homes and traps in funnel-shaped sandpits, capturing insects that accidentally fall in. They pull their prey under the sand and inject venom and digestive enzymes.

What lay before him was a one-star Emperor-level mutated creature!

"Your interference with Merlin and Foodie's journey has caused their belongings to automatically transfer into your storage. Their backpacks will be temporarily disabled for 48 hours."

"Doesn't matter," Qin He was indifferent to this penalty.

As long as the little frogs were safe, that's all that mattered.

"Your Merlin landed on the Antlion's huge belly, rolling around... The Antlion's body stiffened, collapsing into the pit... Merlin reported, 'This guy's too big and he's inherently poisonous with poison resistance. My stored venom is too minimal, it won't last long. killing it off quickly!'"

"Stay here and don't move," Ming instructed the bear. The young frogs were light enough not to sink in the sandpit, but the bear was too heavy.

"Get them out," Ming summoned the psychic giant eagle, which grabbed Merlin and Foodie and flew them up to the edge of the pit.

At the same time, Ming leaped downwards. Initially, he had planned to kill the creature immediately. However, after taking a closer look at the Emperor-level antlion, he had changed his mind - he wanted it alive!

Suddenly, the antlion woke up and quickly retreated to the bottom of the sandpit, disappearing from view.

Ming, suspended in mid-air, was taken aback.

Had Merlin's poison worn off too quickly?

It was too late!

With a loud bang, the sand at the bottom of the pit flew up, covering Ming who was still in mid-air.

"Phew!" Ming spat out the sand from his mouth. The area covered by the flying sand was too large to dodge. Despite wearing glasses, some fine sand had gotten into his eyes.

His vision was blurry!

"See? Never underestimate such creatures," Merlin told the bear, "Ming is the best example... Look, he fell into the sandpit..."

Foodie was ready to fight, but Merlin stopped him. "Don't go down and cause more trouble. You should know your own strength... Don't you care about my pride?" Foodie looked at Merlin.

Merlin shook her head and told you, "Dodge to the left..."

"..." On receiving Merlin's warning, Ming immediately moved to the left!

With a crunch, a loud sound of mandibles closing came from the right side.

He was safe!

Ming quickly took out his broken bowl and extended it, "Pay up!" Taking advantage of the brief pause, he used the antlion's mandibles as a lever and flipped over it.

"Your Merlin sees you landing on the large abdomen of the antlion, it's a wise choice, seize this opportunity and run!" Merlin told the bear and Foodie, "Escaping is not disgraceful, losing your life is~"

"Perfect landing!" Ming found that even though his vision was blurry, there was no delay in receiving information from Merlin. What it saw was as if he saw it himself.

He also wanted to get out of the fight first to clean his eyes, but the cooling time of his wings wasn't over yet, and he couldn't run even if he wanted to! 

The funnel-shaped sandpit was the antlion's territory, and it was impossible for him to climb up successfully!

"Injection!" Following that, Ming took out a syringe and jabbed it into the abdomen of the Emperor-level antlion, pushing in the drug!

Hallucination for 2 seconds!

"Your Merlin tells you, the antlion is spinning in place like it's stupid... Merlin sees the syringe you let go, it understands, so you also use poison~" Merlin felt that she also want a shot ~"

"Get hit!" Ming leaped forward, landing on the middle of the antlion's chest, shouting, "Charge punch!!"

Bang bang bang bang!!! 

In 2 seconds, he threw nearly 20 punches! With the Charge Punch, each additional punch increased the damage by ten percent.

After a round of attack! Antlion defense value -12000+.

At this point, the antlion's hallucination ended!

"Don't worry, you still have a terminal illness!" Ming said, initiating a skilled judgment!

[Skill Effect, Antlion feels very strong, it doesn't believe]

[Judgement end, Terminal Illness skill ineffective]

"..."

As long as the judgment was successful, causing it to hallucinate for 3 seconds, ming was absolutely confident in completing the bridging of the antlion! He had calculated it, up to now, his shortest bridging time was 3 seconds.

Boom!!

The antlion's abdomen suddenly sank, its body quickly sinking into the bottom of the funnel-shaped sandpit! At this moment, Ming felt the sand under his feet rotating like a whirlpool, his ankle instantly sinking in! Then, his knee also sunk in.

"Damn it!" Ming tried hard to pull his leg out! But he found that it was sinking faster than he could pull it out! His wings were still cooling down!

Roar!! At this moment, the bear roared, wanting to rush down!

"I got it!" In a flash, Ming took out a rope from the warehouse, tied it to the Rampage Axe, and threw it to the edge of the sandpit with all his might.

"Your Merlin tells the bear, quick, pull the rope! The bear immediately grabbed the axe, turned around, and ran forward fiercely!"

"Merlin is indeed much smarter!" Ming was delighted, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his left ankle!

"Damn! I got bitten!"

He knew that the antlion was also poisonous, and he immediately felt dizzy. Although he was wearing a suit of Equipment, his ankles were exposed, just like his neck and face! This gave the antlion an opportunity.

Fortunately, the bear dragged him out of the sand, not giving the antlion an other chance to get a firm bite!

Otherwise~ the consequences would be unthinkable!

However, the antlion's venom?

"Hey~ It seems like I'm not dizzy anymore~"

"Good~"

Ming understood, it must be his poison resistance that had worked!

"Your Merlin, croaks, telling the bear that it's enough, if they keep dragging on, Ming might really die~"

"Da Vinci is squatting on a stone slab, telling Sol, see that, that's Ming... Sol shakes his broken tail, so it's a man-snake~"

"..."

Ming sat on the ground, cleaning the sand from his eyes, and drank a vial of virus-blocking potion. He didn't want to mutate a mouthpiece like a long knife, and he didn't want to mutate such a big belly!

The antlion didn't chase out, perhaps the sandpit was its greatest reliance.

"Don't believe you won't come out~"

Ming selected a single taunting puppet in the puppet space, had it stand at the edge of the sandpit, and then picked up a stone and threw it into the sandpit.

The antlion's mouthparts suddenly rushed out and crushed the stone.

"Scold it!" Ming commanded the puppet.

"Hehe~ Hehe~"

Sand!!

The antlion was taunted and rushed out of the sandpit! It chased after the zombie that had scolded it and then ran away.

"I was just waiting for you to come out!"

Ming shouted, threw out the tent, enclosed himself and the antlion within, and released the chef, "Cook for it!"

"Hehe~" The chef accepted the command.

[Puppet Chef, activates [Taste the Delicacies] skill on Emperor-level Antlion, throws a roast rabbit at it, the antlion finds it delicious, and loses attack ability for 5 seconds.]

[Puppet Chef, triggered [Gluttonous] talent, Roasted Rabbit delicacy effect +1, antlion zombie attack ability extended to 10 seconds]

[Puppet Chef takes out a roast chicken...]

"That's enough~" Ming stepped forward, and grabbed the roast chicken, 10 seconds of the antlion's attack inability was already enough.

This chicken was too wasteful for it, mainly because a chicken consumed 100 spirit energy, this damn chicken was too expensive!

"You ate my 50 spirit energy roast rabbit, you should be satisfied now!"

"Connecting for me!" Ming stepped forward, pressing on the skull of the antlion.

Bridging successful!

"Your Merlin lies at the edge of the sandpit, seeing the sand at the bottom of the pit wriggling, a woman with chestnut-colored long hair stands up... her whole body is split open..."

"Your Merlin tells the bear, you must take good care of your skin, otherwise if your whole body cracks like that woman, you won't be able to find a husband~ Merlin looks at the bear, you have to protect your fur and keep it smooth~"

"Chestnut-colored long hair?" Ming interrupted the tent skill, riding on the back of the antlion, looking at Alia in the sandpit, "Hey~ Are you dead?"

"..." Alia looked up, looking at the man, "Hehe~"
