Chapter 1697

Zi Chen, who was eating, seemed to be a little distracted. He was casually listening to old man Schenker's nagging.

Suddenly, when he heard about Long Fei, his whole body trembled. He suddenly raised his head and asked, "What? What did you say? Before Long Fei left, he talked to you about the ancient dragon boat."

The ancient dragon boat was the most mysterious thing in the Battlefield of Despair.

In the entire Battlefield of Despair, there was very little knowledge about it. Everything was a legend, and there was no proof.

But unexpectedly, Long Fei told Schenker something.

Long Fei had left. This was definitely an exclusive secret in the Battlefield of Despair. Schenker didn't say it before because he didn't want Zang Yongsi to know.

Schenker recalled what Long Fei had said. "Before leaving this world, Long Fei came to me. At first, we talked about some trivial things, but in the end, we talked about the ancient dragon boat. At that time, Long Fei said that he didn't know what was at the end of the world, but he said that once we boarded the boat, we would have to face the choice and test of human nature."

"Choice and test." Zi Chen looked confused.

"The choice and test of human nature," Schenker emphasized.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know. I haven't been there. Long Fei hasn't been there, so he doesn't know. He just said that after boarding the boat, we might face many choices, and each choice will determine our future path. He is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to make a certain choice, so he quit at the last moment. Maybe Tang Nuo was also there for the same reason."

Choice.

It affected the choice of the future path.

Long Fei's words definitely had a deep meaning, but unfortunately, Zi Chen couldn't figure it out.

There was still some time before the dragon boat docked. Zi Chen could slowly think about it and consider whether to board the boat or not.

Wu Xie had already finished counting the spoils. He had looted the five great families' headquarters. Although the other party had been prepared and had moved a lot of resources, Zi Chen and the others had still obtained a considerable amount of loot.

Just the materials for refining Royal Weapons, each of them had two.

After staying in this city for three days, Zi Chen began to return with his men. After solving the problem here, they had more important things to do.

Before leaving, Schenker said that he also wanted to go back. He said that he had gotten used to everything in the seventh city.

After returning to Sevenfold City, Zi Chen and the others couldn't wait to enter the teleportation array.

"The five families will definitely send more people. I think you should wait for a few more days," Schenker suggested.

"Time is of the essence. This time, we have brought a lot of resources with us. It should be enough for us to use for a while. As for the transaction, we'll talk about it later."

In total, they had stayed here for about a month, but in the other world, several years had passed.

Too many things could happen in these few years.

As soon as the teleportation array fluctuated, Tomb Keeper arrived under the Cosmos Bell. He looked at the figures that appeared one after another.

There were a total of twelve people, and not a single one was missing. Tomb Keeper heaved a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, sensing everyone's strength, a surprised smile appeared on Mu Mu's face. "All of you actually broke through."

Zi Chen, who had just appeared, saw a hint of worry in Shoumu's smile and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is there trouble?"

Tombkeeper nodded. "They're here."

"Soul-devouring Clan."

"Yes."

Just as they were talking, other warriors arrived one after another. When these warriors saw Zi Chen and the others, their faces were clearly filled with surprise.

Soon, all the warriors gathered here. They had all come of their own accord.

From their expressions, Zi Chen could see how urgent the current situation was.

Tomb Keeper said with a bitter face, "They're too strong. They almost destroyed this place. I had no choice but to use the Cosmos Bell to seal this place. But this is not a long-term solution. If you came back a little later, I would have sent Viper to find you."

The Soul-devouring Clan was the natives' nemesis. When Kesi dared to bring thirteen people in, he didn't take the native army seriously.

It was no joke for the Soul-devouring Clan to destroy an indigenous world.

"Where are they now?" Zi Chen asked.

"They can't attack here. They've set their sights on the Dragon's Tomb. They're now hunting giant dragons outside the Dragon's Tomb."

"Follow me."

…

…

During the battle with Zi Chen that day, Kesi made a breakthrough at the critical moment and successfully escaped.

At that time, he was injured and didn't dare to fight head-on. He had just recovered from his injuries when he heard that Zi Chen and the others were busy causing trouble for the five great families. He led his men to station here again.

The process was easy. He knew the exact coordinates and could come in at any time.

As soon as they arrived in this world, they found a group of natives. After easily killing them, they were ready to get rid of all the natives in this world.

Unfortunately, when they attacked the native tribe, they met with resistance.

After attacking for a month without any results, they settled for the next best thing, which was to kill the giant dragons here.

They stayed here for two whole years.

At the same time, Kesi, who accurately sensed the flow of time here, was extremely shocked.

The wealth in this world was beyond his imagination. There were more giant dragons than he had imagined. The process of killing the giant dragons was not smooth. It was even more difficult to enter the Dragon's Tomb.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. They still hadn't entered the Dragon's Tomb. They hadn't even gotten close.

And recently, he heard some news about Zi Chen and his followers. His face gradually became gloomy.

Zi Chen smoothly killed his way into the city, killed Xu Hou, and killed the expert ranked seventy-eighth on the list. Although he had just entered the ninth level, his battle strength was comparable to a peak ninth level expert. There were rumors that Zi Chen would be the next Long Fei.

Who was Long Fei?

There was probably no one in the entire Battlefield of Despair who didn't know about it.

Kesi didn't meet Long Fei face to face. He felt a little regretful, but also very lucky. It was said that all the alien races who had met Long Fei face to face didn't survive.

Many of the bloodline awakened experts in the clan were very cautious when talking about Long Fei. Their words were full of reverence.

Long Fei was an expert. This name represented a legend.

And Zi Chen was actually comparable to Long Fei. His battle strength was obviously extraordinary. Kesi had experienced this personally.

His soul devouring divine ability's only counter was Zi Chen.

But Zi Chen was different from Long Fei. Zi Chen had eleven followers, and these eleven were all experts on the list.

If it was just Zi Chen alone, Kesi could still suppress him with the advantage of numbers. But with the eleven people, they were no match.

"Retreat."

After hearing that Zi Chen had returned, he didn't hesitate and decisively ordered his people to retreat.

"Uh."

The other Soul Devouring Race members were stunned when they heard this. They turned to look at Kesi in confusion.

"Time is of the essence. There is no time to explain. Everyone, retreat quickly," Kesi said again with a serious expression.

A Soul Devouring Race member glanced at the dragon corpse beside him and asked, "These giant dragons are no threat to us. Why should we retreat?"

"This is an order." Kesi's tone was cold.

The group of Soul Devouring Race members became serious. They didn't dare to delay and sped up the process of processing the dragon corpse.

"Don't, don't take these things. Come with me now."

While urging, energy appeared in Kesi's hand. He was ready to break open the space.

He was fine just now, but now he wanted to leave in such a hurry. Everyone was a little dumbfounded. They didn't know what was going on.

"Don't you think it's too late to leave now?"

An indifferent voice suddenly sounded. A golden light appeared in the sky and shot in front of Kesi.

The space that was about to be broken open became stable again.

Kesi's expression changed. He looked up at the sky.

A space passage appeared, and Zi Chen and the others walked out.

Looking at Zi Chen's mocking face, Kesi became very uneasy. In the next moment, he gritted his teeth. The black light around him exploded.

This kind of escape technique was unique to the Soul Devouring Race. It was also a life-saving technique. Every time it was used, it would consume a lot of energy.

As soon as these people appeared, their master used an escape technique. The other Soul Devouring Race members couldn't understand. They were all wondering who these thirteen people were. How could they make their master flee without a fight?

Among these people, there were also some smart ones. They instantly made the same choice as their master and spread out.

The tomb guard raised his hand and shot out beams of golden light. He was ready to imprison these people, but he was a step too late.

Those who escaped had already escaped. Those who didn't could no longer escape.

The eleven people behind Zi Chen rushed toward the group of Soul Devouring Race members.

Seeing these humans rushing over, some of the Soul Devouring Race members shouted and used their Soul Devouring Divine Ability to launch soul attacks.

However, the eleven people in front didn't stop at all. The soul shadows that rushed into their sea of consciousness were instantly destroyed.

The passage in the sky hadn't closed yet. Ninth Tier warriors walked out one after another. Murderous intent surged around them.

These Soul Devouring Race members had brought them a lot of trouble. Today, under Zi Chen's lead, they would fight these Soul Devouring Race members to the death.

In fact, Zi Chen didn't want them to come because they couldn't help at all. However, they insisted on coming.

After walking out of the passage, they were all dumbfounded.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on?"

Everyone's eyes widened as they looked ahead. Their expressions were exaggerated as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

These were really the Soul Devouring Race.

They were the kind of Soul Devouring Race that could destroy an entire world by themselves.

Why did they run away in fear as soon as they appeared? They didn't even hesitate to use secret techniques.

A moment ago, they didn't understand the reason. However, after the eleven people behind Zi Chen attacked, they completely understood.

These eleven people killed Soul Devouring Race members of the same level as if they were slaughtering chickens and dogs. That calmness made it seem like the Soul Devouring Race was a natural counter to them.

Of the dozen or so Soul Devouring Race members who had escaped, there were still more than thirty left. After the tomb guard sealed the space with the Bell of Heaven and Earth, the remaining thirty or so Soul Devouring Race members were all killed.

Before this, Zi Chen, who was recognized as the strongest person, didn't make a move.

When the battle ended, all the Soul Devouring Race members were killed. The eleven people had thirty-six soul fragments on them.

They handed these fragments to Zi Chen. Next, they would let Dan Ding refine them and condense them into things that they could use.

The trouble was resolved so easily. The group of warriors couldn't believe it. At this moment, Zi Chen's voice sounded, "Clean up the battlefield first."

Only then did the warriors realize that there were still many giant dragon corpses on the ground.
