Apocalypse - Infinite Resource System
Chapter 454: Unexplained Fear
Meanwhile, in the chat channel, the discussion about Waldo has reached a fever pitch.
"Given the speed of the three-eyed natives, they must be close to Waldo by now. I heard that just three hours ago, a challenger already spotted the figures of three natives, only tens of miles away from Waldo."
"I wonder if Waldo has gone into hiding. I’ve heard that Waldo possesses highly adept skills in concealing his whereabouts. Once he goes into hiding, the three-eyed natives might not be able to find him for a while."
"Hey hey, did you guys forget? The third eye of the three-eyed natives is specifically for dispelling illusions and seeing through disguises! No matter how well Waldo hides, he can’t escape their penetrating gaze."
"That makes sense."
"Does that mean Waldo is doomed?"
"Can he escape?"
"Not sure, but the natives are about to find Waldo!"
"I just hope both sides suffer, neither of them are good for us, they’re both too big a threat."
As soon as this was said, people immediately agreed.
"That’s right, if Waldo and the natives both suffer, we challengers might benefit the most!"
"In the eyes of the challengers, neither Waldo nor the natives are good."
"Waldo, although a fellow challenger, is a cold-blooded killer, a true executioner."
"In the future, who knows how many challengers will die at his hands."
"The three-eyed natives are even worse."
They are born enemies of the challengers, with no room for reconciliation.
They hunt challengers recklessly, earning the deep hatred of countless challengers.
Now, if both parties clash and both suffer losses, it would naturally be the best outcome.
However, the likelihood of Waldo dying in battle is quite high.
After all, Waldo is just a second-level challenger.
The gap between him and the three-eyed natives is quite evident.
"If Waldo upgrades to a third-level challenger, maybe he could put up a fight against them!"
People weren’t optimistic about Waldo.
However, to their disbelief, while they were avidly discussing, Waldo had already killed the three seemingly invincible three-eyed natives.
That makes sense.
The battle was short, and there were no other challengers around.
Without Waldo saying anything, almost no one knew about the battle’s process and outcome.
At that moment, an informed individual suddenly said: "Waldo has already encountered the three-eyed natives. Not long ago, I sensed the fluctuations of their battle!"
"What? Is that true?"
"Wow, the big show has started. I wonder what the outcome will be!"
"They’ve finally clashed. Who will emerge victorious in the end?"
"No doubt, it has to be the three-eyed natives. They are all second-level, and with their talents, they are much stronger than second-level challengers. Not to mention, there are three of them. Three against one, no matter how strong Waldo is, it’s impossible for him to win!"
"If Waldo manages to escape by luck, he should be thankful. Winning? That must be a dream."
Someone spoke mockingly.
No one doubted the informant spreading false news.
Because, this informant was the last challenger to spot the three three-eyed natives.
At the moment, he was the closest to Waldo.
Challenger Alvin looked at the bustling chat channel, gazing at the outside darkness that had been quiet for a long time, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Finally, with determination, he moved agilely like a monkey, darting out of the safe house.
Soon after, he arrived at a nearby hilltop.
And, he climbed a dry ancient tree that had been dead for many years, looking into the distance.
He was the informant from the chat channel.
He had just discovered the three-eyed natives passing by, and it had scared him quite a bit.
Luckily, it seemed they were not interested in him and just left.
Afterwards, he felt a strong energy fluctuation coming from afar.
If he wasn’t mistaken, it must have been the encounter between the three-eyed natives and Waldo.
However, to his surprise, the battle was brief and soon faded away, returning to silence.
The desolate cold wind howled in the darkness.
Ignoring the danger, Alvin stood on the treetop like a monkey, gazing into the distance.
However, he saw nothing.
The distance was pitch dark, with a faint fog that obscured vision.
"Could it be that Waldo is dead?"
"But, the speed was too fast! Just a few minutes and it’s over? Isn’t that too quick?"
"Was Waldo really that weak? Or were the three-eyed natives so powerful that even Waldo was no match for them?"
Alvin was shocked, his expression dazed.
In fact, at the beginning, he had high hopes for Waldo.
Waldo was not like the average challenger, his strength was much more than it seemed on the surface.
Additionally, Waldo had not used his full strength when dealing with second-level challengers like Perry before.
Therefore, Alvin believed that Waldo’s true combat power far exceeded that of a typical second-level challenger.
Even if he was no match for the three-eyed natives, he should have been able to escape from them.
At the very least, he could have lasted a bit longer.
But how long had it been, and it was already over?
Waldo, you’ve disappointed me so much.
Alvin couldn’t help but sigh slightly, not expecting this outcome.
He didn’t feel happy about the death of Waldo, the executioner.
Instead, he felt a sense of sorrow, inexplicable sadness, and anger.
If Waldo could be easily killed by the three-eyed natives, what about the other challengers? 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Are they destined to be slaughtered at will by the three-eyed natives?
Exhausted and somewhat helpless, Alvin spoke in the chat channel: "The battle has ended, ended even faster than expected, very abruptly. I guess Waldo has already died in battle.
Alas, from now on, we challengers will probably always live under the shadow of death cast by the three-eyed natives!"
"What? The battle just started and it’s already over?"
"Wow, you said the battle had just started. How could it end so quickly?"
"Is that true? That’s really fast!"
"I’ve been saying, Waldo is no good."
"Alas, I guess Waldo was instantly killed, just like Tate, maybe he didn’t even know how he died."
"We were thinking they would both be severely wounded, but now it seems like that possibility is extremely slim!"
"What’s with the three-eyed natives, did they get hurt? What do we do next?"
"If even Waldo was instantly killed, what can we do? At least we have safe houses to shelter us, everyone just fend for yourselves!"
Upon hearing the news that Waldo might have died in battle, everyone was initially stunned.
This outcome was too different from what they had expected.
After a brief moment of shock and astonishment, anxiety set in.
This is not good news!
Looking at the track record of the three-eyed natives, it seems they are now invincible, able to crush all challengers in the land of darkness.
It’s easy to imagine how difficult their days will be going forward.
