Angus sat down on a big rock, panting and looking exhausted.
"If I go any further, my willpower will definitely collapse."
Angus said weakly: "Now all I can think about is swallowing. I want to swallow everything I see, everything!"
Zi Chen, who had also consumed a lot of energy, also stopped and said lightly: "In that case, let's take a rest and try to swallow the air around you."
"Air, how can you swallow it? Is it true that you should eat air if you don't work hard?"
Angus shook his head slowly and feebly, "No, I don't have the strength anymore, no..."
Before he could finish his words, a blade of light came close to him and pressed against his neck. The coldness made Angus shiver.
Looking at Zi Chen's cold gaze, his body gained strength again without knowing when, and he hurriedly said: "I'm fine, I don't need to rest anymore."
Looking into the other party's extremely clear eyes, Zi Chen put away the bone knife and said: "No matter whether you have strength or not, you still need to rest. Just like me, try to refine the air around you."
There is spiritual power in the air, but Zi Chen doesn't know this truth. It seems that there has been a similar situation in his memory, and he is just using it for reference at the moment.
He sat cross-legged, and the skill he didn't know how to obtain began to work on its own.
A small cyclone appeared from the body, and then gradually extended. The 'air' from the sky and the earth was attracted by this cyclone and entered Zi Chen's body.
The 'air' that enters the body seems to have gone through layers of filtration as it circulates around the body, and finally becomes the purest power.
Zi Chen laughed.
"Yes, it really can!"
Before the smile on his lips could fully unfold, Angus's cry rang out, "I can really swallow the air."
He was very excited and yelled because being able to eat air meant that he no longer needed to devour other people.
"Meditation! We don't have much time."
Zi Chen's words sounded, and Angus stopped yelling and swallowed the air obediently.
With the return of strength, Zi Chen gradually returned to his peak state. He stood up and felt his own strength, which seemed to have increased.
Angus was still recovering, Zi Chen did not disturb him, but took out the golden piece of armor and looked at it.
The nail plates used to be black, with only the lines in the middle being golden, but now the entire body has turned golden, and it seems that even the material itself has changed.
What Zi Chen is now certain is that by stimulating its power, a captive place can be formed again.
Besides being the first time, does this golden armor have other functions?
"Boss."
Angus stood up, looked at Zi Chen who was in a daze, and shouted.
Zi Chen turned around when he heard the sound, "Recovered?"
Angus said: "I have recovered a little, but the thought of swallowing has not weakened."
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
The two of them just moved forward aimlessly, sometimes changing direction.
Two days later, Zi Chen found another person. A not difficult battle ended and Zi Chen killed the opponent.
According to Angus, there were about eight people who ran away, and there are still about six left, assuming these six people don't die.
In the next few days, neither of them found anything.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, neither Zi Chen nor Angus went deep into the place where a huge number of ghosts lived.
"Boss, do you think they will turn into ghosts and go into the depths?"
Angus, who had not found anything for several days, raised his doubts.
Zi Chen said: "Maybe."
They haven't found even a human corpse in the past few days, and once those awakened ones have no more targets to devour, they may defect to the ghosts.
Several days passed, and Zi Chen still found nothing.
But both Zi Chen and Angus were in a good mood because they didn't turn into ghosts.
From this point of view, as long as it does not devour humans, it will not become a ghost.
Neither Zi Chen nor Angus are worried about turning into ghosts anymore. Now they just need to find other people to kill, and then everything will be over.
In the future, whether to continue to deepen or return to Yi Bufan's team is just a matter of choice between the two of them.
"Boss, we've almost looked around here. It seems that those few have gone to the depths and joined other ghost forces." Angus said.
Zi Chen nodded, actually he also had such a guess in his mind.
He looked at Angus. After so many days of getting along with him, he had become able to control his swallowing emotions extremely well. "If you can't find it, I won't look for it. What are your plans?"
Angus thought for a moment and said, "If I said I wanted to go back, would you agree?"
Obviously, he was referring to looking for Yi Bufan and others. After all, there were people in that team that Angus knew and even people he cared about.
The previous departure was just out of necessity.
Now that he has been able to suppress his thoughts of devouring, he wants to go back.
"sure!"
Zi Chen had no objection. He believed in Angus's character and his willpower.
In fact, now, there is no need for any willpower to suppress, only the original intention. If you are dedicated to good and do not bully the weak, there will be no problem.
"Hello, boss!"
Seeing that Zi Chen agreed, Angus seemed very excited, but then asked: "Boss, you want to go back too, right?"
Zi Chen did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment and finally said: "Maybe."
After saying that, Zi Chen walked forward.
He planned to search again, what if he could find a few?
Angus stood there, a little stunned, because Zi Chen said maybe, obviously he was not sure whether he would go back.
If the boss doesn't go back, where will he go?
Deep?
There was a huge force there, and there were so many ghosts that no one dared to attack when Kadmon was still the leader.
******
******
Zi Chen, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped because Angus didn't follow him.
He looked back, a little confused.
"Xiao An?"
Zi Chen shouted. This was after Angus called him boss, and the other party told him to call him Xiao An, which seemed more cordial.
No one responded.
Zi Chen's expression changed, and then he started to retrace his steps.
After walking a few dozen feet and setting foot on a high ground, Zi Chen's expression changed.
He saw Angus, but he also saw ghosts, four of them.
At this moment, a ghost reached out and held Angus's head, ready to devour him at any time.
But they didn't, but stood there, as if waiting for something.
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Seeing Zi Chen appear, a cold voice sounded. Zi Chen could no longer tell who was who, but what was certain was that these four ghosts were all the original awakeners.
