Qingyi looked at Zi Chen's back and remained silent for a long time.
Yi Bufan had already turned around and went back.
Angus kept a distance from the two of them. He watched Zi Chen leave and stood there without making any other move.
Zi Chen chose an extremely simple path of protection to protect everyone here.
And although he stayed here, the road was not easy either.
The first is rejection, obviously perceptible rejection, very deliberate alienation.
Because he is an awakened person with the power of devouring, he is like a tiger staying among the sheep.
"I will protect my true heart and everything I want to protect!"
Angus clenched his fists and swore silently in his heart that Zi Chen's figure had disappeared.
After only one day, Zi Chen left.
Except for Qingyi and Li Haocheng, no one tried to stay.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Zi Chen headed deeper. If he couldn't do anything for the people behind him, then when the ghosts attacked in large numbers, this place would become the next place of captivity.
The strength of the awakened ones is different. Some are comparable to the ghosts, and some are weaker than the ghosts. The strength of the devourers is much stronger than the awakened ones. They can almost overwhelm the awakened ones, but they are not much stronger than the ghosts, or even worse. Ghosts seem to have just one more devouring power aimed at humans.
This made Zi Chen feel very conflicted.
But perhaps it was also for this reason that the awakened ones killed each other and eventually became ghosts.
Hope is still following Zi Chen, and it seems very excited as it moves forward, jumping around.
One day later, Zi Chen, who was recovering with his back against the big tree, opened his eyes and hoped to fly from the treetops. It was more dexterous than an ape and almost silent.
When it came to Zi Chen, it stretched out its paws and pointed in a certain direction, seeming to have discovered something.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Under the leadership of Hope, Zi Chen walked forward.

A team of ghosts stopped for a short time in the valley of the mountain.
One of the tall ghosts sat on a big rock and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's been so long and I still haven't found anything. How long will it take to find it?"
"Don't worry, sir. This area is so big, we will definitely be able to find them."
Another ghost immediately stepped forward and said: "There are so many of them that they can't hide at all. I guess they have gone to the outside."
The tall ghost continued: "It's best. I already feel weak. Once I find them, I'll have a good meal first."
When the ghost heard this, his face couldn't help but change, "Sir, this is not possible. Among those people, there is a very powerful awakener. We are no match at all. Moreover, our purpose this time is just to find their hiding place." , and then unite with the large forces to catch them all."
The ghost transformed by the Awakener was obviously really afraid that the other party would do something stupid. The last plan did not succeed. They were really afraid of Zi Chen and did not dare to have the slightest surprise.
The tall ghost smiled coldly and said nonchalantly: "So what if they are awakened ones? Can their power be stronger than ours? When we get there, you only need to identify each other, and I will definitely be able to devour him."
"Oh, is it so?"
A faint voice suddenly came from the high ground next to it.
Several ghosts were startled and looked up, only to see a human walking up.
Two ghosts in the scene recognized the human being, and their expressions couldn't help but change, and they were shocked.
"Zi Chen, he is Zi Chen!"
One of them recognized Zi Chen's ghost and exclaimed in surprise while retreating.
When the tall ghost heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, "Are you the awakened one?"
"That's it." Zi Chen said indifferently.
"Suffer death!"
The tall ghost rushed towards Zi Chen. It was very excited, with devouring light flowing around its body.
As the ghost approached, golden light flashed in front of Zi Chen.
The ghost who was charging forward suddenly stopped, and then his body fell forward.
Instant kill!
The expressions of the other two ghosts changed drastically. They had not paid much attention to this awakener before, but they did not expect him to be so powerful.
They looked at each other and wanted to run away.
The two previous ones had already run away.
Zi Chen held the golden knife in his hand and sneered: "Can you run away?"
No one can escape.
A moment later, the two ghosts and the ghosts they transformed into were killed one after another!
Zi Chen continued to move deeper. This time, his mood improved a lot. At least everyone's place of residence would not be discovered.
Next, Zi Chen went straight into the depths, where a huge number of ghosts lived.
There were a lot of ghosts, so Zi Chen didn't dare to enter rashly. After thinking about it, Zi Chen decided to enter the captive place first.
The scope of the captive place was so large that Zi Chen had never seen it before. Fortunately, the tall portal was not heavy, and there were no other ghosts guarding it around.
Zi Chen opened the door and walked in, then closed it again, trying not to be discovered.
He began to look for the humans living here. It was not difficult to find, or it was very conspicuous.
Not long after, Zi Chen saw a group of humans, all standing there, and in front of them stood a ghost.
There was a hint of surprise in Zi Chen's eyes.
Didn't you run away when you saw the ghost?
How could humans and ghosts here live in such harmony?
He sneaked over quietly and decided to find out.

Ike stood in front of a group of humans and said indifferently: "It's already this time, no one takes the initiative to stand up?"
The humans stood there motionless with blank expressions.
It’s not that I don’t understand what Ike said, but I’ve long been numb to this scene.
Ike smiled and said: "Oh, that's interesting. It seems that you all don't want to die, you all want to live. In that case, I'll name you."
Those humans with dull expressions shrank subconsciously.
Ike's fingers moved, wandering among the crowd.
"Let me do it."
Suddenly, a sigh sounded, and an old man came out, "Swallow me."
Ike nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, it's just that one is not enough, you need another."
Ike suddenly pointed at a woman holding a baby, "That's you."
The woman's face instantly turned pale, but she did not dare to resist.
She glanced at the baby and there were tears in her eyes.
Once she dies, the child, who can't even walk, won't live long.
"I'll take her place."
At this moment, a man stood up, the father of the child, "I'm coming!"
A flash of sarcasm flashed in Ike's eyes, "Why didn't I see you come out before? But because you protect your family so much, I will just devour your family of three, so that you will not be separated in life or death."
Ike walked forward, his eyes full of cruelty.
The child's father had an angry look on his face, but he didn't dare to resist. He could only protect the woman and child with his arms, and watched helplessly as Ike came.
Ike took a few steps forward, and suddenly blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The forward figure also stopped there.
