My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Li Xiang’s figure was majestic, like a Celestial God descending to the mortal realm. He stood with his hands behind his back on the banks of the Mekong River, gazing at the river of stars reflected on its surface. An earthy yellow light bloomed from his body, and the granite ground beneath his feet parted automatically, like the divine feat of Moses parting the sea.

In a major production area for Jasmine Rice in Thailand’s Kanchanaburi Province, three hundred tons of newly harvested rice, still warm from the sun of the Siam Plain, were sucked through a vacuum tunnel created by Earth Escape and into his Superpower Space from beneath a granary. The granary’s security personnel didn’t notice a thing.

In the past, Li Xiang had always relied on his superior martial strength to just take things by force, which often caused a huge stir. This time, however, with Earth Escape, the process was simply sublime.

He then moved on to other Jasmine Rice production areas, plundering this year’s new crop. He emptied one warehouse after another, not leaving a single grain behind. Of course, he only targeted properties belonging to the wealthy.

In a matter of days, over five hundred thousand tons of Thailand’s newly harvested Fragrant Rice were stolen.

It was a crime of epic proportions. But it was destined to become another cold case, joining the long list of previous unsolved incidents.

While using Earth Escape near the ruins of the Sukhothai Ancient City, Li Xiang’s Earth Vein Perception Ability detected something. About seven hundred meters underground, there was a Purple Jadeite Ore Vein, winding like a great subterranean serpent. A strange energy throbbed faintly within the vein, like a human pulse.

Strange Sanskrit Talismans would occasionally seep out from the cracks between the crystals. If Jiang Cai’Er had been there, she would surely have been able to decipher their meaning. But Li Xiang had never studied such things, so he naturally had no idea what they said.

But it didn’t matter. ’It probably can’t cause much trouble anyway.’ Li Xiang assessed the ore vein’s energy and felt confident he could handle it. If it were too dangerous, he would have bolted at the first sign of trouble.

The earthy yellow light enveloping Li Xiang flared, and he submerged himself, heading toward the ore vein.

The moment he touched the surface of the vein, a demonic snake crawled out from within it.

This demonic snake had nine heads and eighteen eyes. Its dark snake eyes were like poisoned jadeite, and its scales had the purplish-black, oily sheen of opium paste. A trident fragment was coiled at the tip of its tail, dripping a corrosive slime that burned wisps of smoke into the ground.

A system prompt appeared: ”Tier Three Mutated Creature detected: Naga Snake Demon.”

’This is a Naga Snake Demon? So ugly! And it’s only Tier Three, yet it’s acting all high and mighty. Who’s it trying to fool?’
