Zi Chen's breath was held. He had been here for a long time, but he still came into contact with the ghost at such a close distance.
It was also the first time that he was targeted by a ghost.
The other party stood there without any movement, but there was a strong oppressive aura that made Zi Chen unable to breathe.
In an instant, his sleeping memory seemed to be awakened.
His fingers were trembling, as if he was about to make a fist or form a seal.
"Run, why don't you run?"
Ghost looked at the two of them and grinned, "I saw that you two are the best runners before, and now another one is running?"
Zi Chen's eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible.
"Zi Chen, run quickly!"
At this moment, a loud roar was heard from behind, forcibly pulling Zi Chen's consciousness back.
It was Li Haocheng. After seeing the abnormality on Zi Chen's side, he regardless of his own safety, shouted a warning.
Zi Chen came to his senses and immediately ran to the side.
Just as he moved, the ghost also moved.
I saw Zi Chen's feet, and with the help of his strength, he leaped forward and hugged Qing Yi.
Qingyi, who was stunned there, was knocked down by Zi Chen, and the two of them rolled away towards the bottom of the mountain.
The ghost jumped up and fell to the ground, splashing some sand and rocks.
It glanced at the two people tumbling down, and its eyes changed slightly, like a child looking at an ant under its feet.
I originally planned to crush the ant to death, but unexpectedly, the ant suddenly changed its direction and hid.
At this time, children often have two choices. The first is to chase the ant until it is completely trampled to death. The second is to find a target that is close at hand and can trample it to death with just a lift of the foot.
The ghost in front of me, like a child, chose the latter.
He jumped lightly, arrived in front of another person, opened his mouth and swallowed.
Zi Chen and Qing Yi hugged each other and rolled and landed under the mountain. His clothes were even more tattered and there were many scars on his body.
Qingyi is slightly better than Zichen.
After the two of them landed, they didn't care about anything else, got up and ran away.
The previous moment was the closest the two of them came to this world to death.
But this can be regarded as an accident, because there has never been a situation where two ghosts appeared at the same time.
Zi Chen and Qing Yi ran away, so the ghost would naturally not seek far away, especially after it started to devour souls.
After devouring enough souls, the hunting ghost left satisfied.
Li Haocheng caught up with him out of breath and said, "You two are so lucky that you actually rolled down the mountain. If you hadn't fallen, it would have been over this time."
He slowly said again: "We can't wait any longer. You are asking me to hold my great-grandson tonight. In this place, there might be an accident at any time."
Qingyi's cheeks were slightly red, and she obviously knew what Li Haocheng was talking about. In fact, she had understood why Li Haocheng would leave the cave every night, leaving the two of them alone.
Zi Chen ignored Li Haocheng, but looked at Qing Yi and asked, "Are you okay?"
The blush on Qing Yi's face had not dissipated, and she slowly shook her head.
"Let's go up there and have a look."
Zi Chen pulled Qing Yi and walked towards the original road.
Li Haocheng followed, "I said, you should give me a happy word."
Everyone along the way was panting, and they were obviously very tired. Everyone was already numb to the hunting of ghosts. The ghosts had just left a moment ago, and those who survived started to joke.
But there are also some sad people, those who have lost their loved ones. They lie in front of the corpses and cry, and the atmosphere is a bit sad.
After crying, they have to cheer up and face the next hunt.
Zi Chen walked past everyone with an expression on his face, his heart a little heavy. In his original vague memory, only some unintelligent beasts were the targets of hunting.
Unexpectedly, in this place, humans are hunted by beast-like beings.
With walls surrounding them, they are like food in captivity, waiting to be harvested at any time.
"What are you taking me to see?" Qingyi asked in confusion.
Zi Chen pulled Qing Yi and came to the place where the two fell down before. His eyes looked towards a stone on the ground.
There was a little blood stain on the tip of the stone.
"what is that?"
Qingyi also saw this and asked doubtfully.
"The ghost's blood. I noticed before that its foothold may be here."
Zi Chen walked up to the stone and said in a deep voice: "It seems that it is just faster and more powerful, but it is still made of flesh and blood."
Qingyi's expression changed, "What do you mean?"
A flash of coldness flashed in Zi Chen's eyes, "Let's try and see if we can kill one."
"Are you crazy? If you kill a ghost, will you anger the entire tribe?"
Qingyi said: "And you have already seen it, right? Two ghosts appeared before."
"If we don't kill them, we will be the ones who die one day."
Zi Chen said solemnly: "Are we going to keep escaping? How long will we be able to escape?"
"What are your ideas?" Qingyi looked at Zichen.
"Not yet, but it is only flesh and blood after all, so there should be a way to kill it."
Originally, in Zi Chen's uncertain memory, there were many weapons of various kinds. Now even if there was just one of them around him, Zi Chen wanted to fight hard, but unfortunately there was nothing.
"By the way, did you hear what You Gui said earlier?" Zi Chen suddenly remembered what You Gui had said before.
"What are you talking about?" Qingyi asked in confusion.
"Didn't you hear it?" Zi Chen was a little surprised because the ghost's voice was very loud.
Qingyi shook her head, indicating that she did not hear it.
Zi Chen repeated the ghost's words, and Qingyi was shocked. She didn't expect that another ghost would notice the two of them early in the morning.
But she shook her head repeatedly to show that she didn't hear anything.
It could be that Qing Yi didn't hear because of her nervousness, or it could also be Zi Chen's auditory hallucination.
On this day, Zi Chen and Qing Yi were still out, not knowing what they were looking for. When they came back, Li Haocheng had already prepared a lot of fruits.
When he saw the two of them coming in, he took the initiative to leave. At the same time, he gave Zi Chen an encouraging or cheering look, which left Zi Chen quite speechless.
Next, Qingyi fell into a deep sleep, and Zichen fell into deep thought.
If he can't find what he is looking for, he will definitely stay here in the future. But after experiencing today's incident, Zi Chen truly felt that everyone could die at any time.
I was lucky enough today. The ghost changed its target. If the same thing happens next time, will I still have this luck?
The next day, just as the sky was getting brighter, frightened shouts rang out.
The ghost is here again.
Two came yesterday, and unexpectedly another one came today.
Zi Chen grabbed Qing Yi and continued to run away. During this period, Qing Yi sometimes looked back at the distance. Zi Chen asked: "How?"
Qingyi said: "It's not the two from yesterday."
Soon, the ghost devoured enough souls and left with satisfaction.
Zi Chen, who was still a little hesitant at first, finally made up his mind. He called Qing Yi and started to check some geographical conditions.
This is the first time since coming to this world that Zi Chen has not aimlessly searched for something he doesn't know.
Qingyi saw Zichen's intention and said, "Are you really planning to take action against the ghost?"
"We must try, otherwise we will die sooner or later!"
Zi Chen said: "I don't trust my life in the hands of those ghosts."
In just two days, dozens of people have died. If this happens every day, no matter how fast they run, they will be devoured one day.
On the third day, the ghost appeared early in the morning and swallowed the souls of eight people.
Qingyi once again informed that, unlike the previous two days, this was the fourth ghost.
For three consecutive sunrises, the ghosts came, so everyone became frightened. When the fourth sunrise came up, everyone ran out of the cave.
Sure enough, the ghost came again.
Qingyi informed that this was the fifth ghost.
Everyone started to run away, and the only one who could survive until now was not a strong and vigorous person.
Those at the rear will gradually be overtaken.
As Zi Chen said, no matter how fast you run, once the prey disappears one after another, everyone will become its target in the end.
Suddenly, Zi Chen's pupils shrank, and he saw a young man running at full speed, holding a long stick in his hand and hitting the person in front of him fiercely.
With a loud bang, the man staggered and rolled to the ground.
The other party laughed, and then jumped over the fallen person.
The ghost from behind approached, stopping to devour the soul of the fallen human being.
There was another bang, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, but one person's leg bone was actually broken, and he fell to the ground and started wailing.
The ghost that devoured the first soul caught up again and devoured the man with the broken leg.
"Yes, he is quite smart."
Zi Chen heard the ghost's words, and this time he heard them very clearly, and the other party was laughing loudly.
He immediately looked at Qingyi next to him and asked in a low voice: "Did you hear what it said?"
Qingyi shook his head, indicating that he didn't hear anything.
"As long as you don't kill me, there will be plenty of food."
Then, Zi Chen heard another voice, but it was not from the ghost, but from the young man holding the stick from before.
Zi Chen's expression changed, but this time he didn't ask Qing Yi for confirmation.
"Can you understand me?"
The ghost swallowed the second soul and looked at the young man.
The young man started running, the third stick fell, and another person fell to the ground. He ran away again, distanced himself from the ghost and said: "I can hear something. As long as you don't kill me, how about I help you hunt the prey?"
?”
Zi Chen could clearly hear the conversation between the two parties, but no one else seemed to be able to hear it.
Zi Chen was very sure of this, because if they could hear the young man's words, they would naturally be afraid, and at the very least they would look at each other more.
But no one responded, everyone was running away.
"How many do you want today? I'll help you solve them all." The young man asked.
"Eight." Ghost said.
I saw the young man rushing forward quickly, the long stick in his hand falling continuously, and the sound of fluttering followed, and five more people knocked him down.
Including the previous ones, there is just enough for eight people.
The ghosts began to devour.
The young man asked again, "Will you come again tomorrow? If you come, I will help you prepare the prey at sunrise tomorrow."
"Have a good meal today and you should be able to last for two days. Geta is too arrogant. We must teach them a lesson."
After devouring enough souls, the ghost turned and left.
"Walk!"
After the ghost left, Zi Chen took Qing Yi to go deeper. Things became more and more urgent. If he couldn't find a way to kill the ghost, everyone would die here.
