There was a faint smell of blood spreading from all around. Zi Chen hid in the darkness and saw a dark shadow walking past him.
Silent and breathless.
If he hadn't wanted to notify the abnormality in advance, Zi Chen would have been discovered by the other party.
That's a person.
A stranger that Zi Chen was sure he had never seen before.
Why is such a stranger here at this time?
Zi Chen was filled with confusion, but soon Zi Chen discovered that there was more than one person coming.
Dare to be so bold and sneak into the place where ghosts live, which made Zi Chen guess, are these people all awakened?
He always thought that the three of them were the only awakened ones in this area.
Not knowing the nature of the other awakened people, Zi Chen prepared to retreat.
Suddenly, there was a roar, and it was one of them who woke up the sleeping ghost.
Then more ghosts awaken.
There were sounds of fighting, and Zi Chen saw the light of power flowing around. Those who sneaked into this place were indeed awakened ones.
This surprised him.
But among the awakened ones, there are also strong and weak ones. Zi Chen vaguely saw an awakened being knocked to the ground and then swallowed by a ghost.
After devouring the awakened ones, the ghost's power becomes stronger and its whole body emits light.
This obvious power made Zi Chen's expression change.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the others immediately began to retreat.
The ghost, whose whole body was glowing, let out a commanding roar, and the other ghosts chased after him.
There was no movement in some rooms, and the ghosts cursed angrily, daring to disobey orders. They shouted that they wanted to settle accounts with these dead pigs.
Zi Chen began to retreat. He did not want to encounter such a powerful being.
While retreating, Zi Chen noticed that the fleeing people were surrounded and in danger.
Although they ruined their own affairs, they are all awakened people after all. If they don't lend a hand to help now, once the powerful ghost approaches, these people will probably die.
Moreover, the ghost will also grow in strength and become an unrivaled existence.
Zi Chen approached from the darkness, and then appeared like lightning, the bone knife in his hand drawing a ray of light.
Chi!
A ghost's throat was cut open and it fell to the ground with its head raised.
Seeing this, the other ghosts turned around cautiously.
Zi Chen's figure has disappeared from the other side.
In such a dazed moment, all those awakened people left.
The ghosts glanced at the corpses on the ground and seemed a little frightened, so they did not pursue them immediately.
After Zi Chen took action once, he did not meet those awakened people, but returned to the agreed place.
Seeing Zi Chen coming back, Qing Yi and Yi Bufan immediately came over to greet him. For safety reasons, they did not light a bonfire or even have necessary communication. The surroundings were quiet.
"How is the situation?" Yi Bufan asked.
Zi Chen told what he had seen and heard that there were more than twenty ghosts there, and both of them were shocked.
After hearing that there were other awakened people, both of them felt unbelievable.
Qingyi said: "It seems that we are not the only ones who have awakened the power. Since there are other awakened people in this world, it may be a good thing for us."
Zi Chen didn't nod or shake his head.
Yi Bufan said: "It may not be a good thing."
Qingyi didn't understand what the other party meant, thinking that Yi Bufan was worried that others would compete with him for the hero's position.
"What should we do now?" Qingyi looked at Zichen.
"Let everyone evacuate first. So many ghosts died tonight, they will definitely catch up."
Zi Chen said in a deep voice: "While retreating, set a trap at the same time!"
Everyone began to retreat. The original plan to completely eliminate the ghosts was terminated because of the appearance of those people.
The only thing that worries Zi Chen now is whether the powerful ghost will lead someone to catch up with him.
Everyone started to move and retreated for dozens of miles until they came to a mountain forest and then stopped.
Next, according to Zi Chen's instructions, he began to set up some traps for the enemy.
This night, almost no one had a rest.
The ghost in my imagination did not catch up with me.
Zi Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys are pretty good at hiding."
Suddenly, a faint smile sounded, and a person was seen walking out of the dense forest ahead.
It was a young man, wearing a robe made of the ghost's animal skin. With a cold smile on his lips, he appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"what are you?"
Yi Bufan sensed the bad intentions of the other party and said indifferently.
Footsteps sounded, and figures emerged from the forest one after another. Among these people, Zi Chen saw a few familiar faces, the same ones who were besieged last night.
The purpose of these people's coming was not obvious. People on Zi Chen's side were holding bone soldiers and looking at those people.
The leader of the young man in the beast robe glanced around and stopped at the bone soldiers.
"Is it them?" the young man said.
A young man came forward. He pointed at Zi Chen and said, "Yes, that's him! He was the one who ruined our plan!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qingyi said dissatisfied.
The young man glanced at Qing Yi, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and said: "He ruined our plan last night and caused the death of one of our brothers."
The expressions of Qing Yi and Yi Bufan changed. Zi Chen mentioned this matter when he came back yesterday, but their opinions were different.
"Are you sure I ruined your plan?" Zi Chen looked at the young man, his expression not changing much.
"Of course it's you!"
The young man pointed at Zi Chen, "If it weren't for you, how could Danny have died?"
The young man smiled playfully and said, "So many of our brothers see it, are you not going to admit it?"
The young man in the beast robe pointed at Qingyi and said: "Don't worry, I'm not here to embarrass you. It's just that we lost a brother. You should make some compensation. I think she is the one who is the awakened one.
I won’t bully you either.”
The other party asked Qingyi by name.
"Why?" Qing Yi was angry.
Yi Bufan sneered and said: "This is the first time I have encountered such shameless behavior. If you don't want anyone, just come and fight. We will stay with you until the end!"
He waved the bone stick a few times, and light lit up from the bone stick.
The young man's smile continued unabated, and other people around him were walking towards this side. By sensing their breath, they should all be awakened ones.
There were more than a dozen people, occupying an absolute numerical advantage.
"What you know may not be the same as mine."
Zi Chen took a step forward and said: "I arrived before you last night. After killing several ghosts, your people came. Then I hid in the dark and let you take action. It's a pity that your people woke up."
The sleeping ghost was exposed and killed by the ghost, but your people saw that the situation was not good and planned to escape."
Zi Chen's words paused here, and at the same time, he glanced at the people last night, "Speaking of which, you should thank me, because at the critical moment, I saved your lives, otherwise you would all become food for ghosts.
