Before coming here, Gartukelo already had a certain understanding of Zi Chen.
In the last battle, he had not died even after suffering such heavy injuries. In addition, he had just survived the tri-colored poison mist. Gartukelo was certain that Zi Chen had an extraordinary constitution.
It was this constitution that allowed him to have the ability to fight continuously and resist poison.
The life star was known as the land of miracles. As a heaven-defying person on the life star, it was understandable that Zi Chen had such a constitution.
Such a constitution was indeed powerful, but Gartukelo was not afraid. He was only afraid of the tri-colored poison mist. Thus, he looked at Zi Chen and said indifferently, "I am saving you!"
Zi Chen looked ahead. There, the figures of the four saints were gradually shrinking as they ran further and further away.
"If you kill them now, it will be the same as cutting off the Hort family's path. They will not let this go.
Although you killed an aptitude user today, I believe you should know that luck played a large part in it.
Do you think the Hort family only has one aptitude user?
Or are you confident that you can fight against the Hort family here? "
Zi Chen retracted his gaze and said indifferently, "When we meet, we will fight to the death!"
"That is still much better than a real fight to the death!" Gartukelo said in a low voice.
A real fight to the death and a real fight to the death did not seem to have much difference, but the meaning was completely different.
The former meant that after both sides met, there would be a fight to the death, while the latter was a fight to the death until one side was completely dead.
There was still room to maneuver in the former, but the latter was a real fight to the death.
This sentence was very reasonable. It seemed that the other party was really thinking for Zi Chen. However, Zi Chen, who had seen a lot of the world, knew very well that in a fight to the death, there was still the possibility of a cornered dog jumping over a wall.
If he really killed these four fellows, the Hort family would completely lose their qualification this time. Then, when the Hort family crazily chased after him, they would definitely not let the four from the Gartukelo family go.
They had already lost their chance, so how could they let the other party have the chance to obtain a Saint Weapon?
The sound of footsteps came from behind. Jia Tu and Huang Tu ran over. The old man followed behind them. He ran to Zi Chen's side and looked at Zi Chen excitedly. "Zi Chen, how did you do it?"
There was no need for Zi Chen to consider the gains and losses for too long. If he killed the four of them now, the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages. He no longer looked at Catukelo and turned back to Catukelo. "What do you mean, how did you do it?"
"That three-colored poisonous fog is very poisonous. It is said that one will die upon contact. How did you resist it?" Jia Tu and Huang Tu asked again.
[]
"Is that poison?
I thought it was smoke. "
Zi Chen's heart still palpitated when he recalled the puppet snake's strange behavior. The sudden appearance of the smoke had made it impossible for him to find an opportunity to retreat as he was immediately enveloped.
Just as he was thinking that things were not going well, he realized that the smoke did not cause any effective harm to him. It was even less lethal than the poison from before.
It had to be known that the poison would at least corrode his clothes, but this smoke only made him feel choked.
In the smoke, he could not see anything, so he could only be in a state of alert.
He did not think that the smoke was a type of poison. He thought that the puppet snake would take advantage of his blurred vision to launch an attack.
So he waited quietly and did not make the slightest sound. In the end, nothing happened.
When Jia Tu and Huang Tu heard Zi Chen's words, they were speechless.
It was really infuriating to compare oneself to others. They did not even dare to touch the three-colored poisonous fog, but when it came to Zi Chen, it had turned into smoke. And it had no effect on him at all.
The four Saints had already run away, and the people who had been watching the show had also left. Jia Tu and Huang Tu said goodbye to Zi Chen and followed Catukelo back to the small town.
For a moment, only Zi Chen and the old man were left alive, as well as a dead person and a puppet snake.
"That puppet snake is good stuff. It can be sold for a good price in the small town," the old man said as he pointed at the puppet snake not far away.
Catukelo left with the people of the Jia Tu family, but he did not bring him, an ability user who could kill ability users. This was clearly to avoid suspicion. He did not want to have too much to do with Zi Chen, and he did not want to completely become enemies with the Hort family.
Zi Chen returned to his room and walked out with the bamboo basket on his back. The bamboo basket contained his harvest over the years.
The huge piece of Holy Black Crystal was wrapped in a rag and placed at the bottom.
The rest of the ores were placed in the middle, and at the top was some food.
It was almost impossible to reach the small town in a day's time. In the meantime, they would need to stay in the wilderness for a night. Food was also a necessity.
However, the old man told Zi Chen not to worry too much, because there would be some small inns along the way for people to rest. If it was a normal person, it might be dangerous, but Zi Chen was an ability user, so no one dared to have any ideas about him.
He also told Zi Chen that if he did not trust others, then he should find a cave to rest in and leave the next day.
As for the night, no one dared to walk outside. Occasionally, there would be some powerful ability users who did not fear the fear of the night.
Carrying the bamboo basket and wrapping the puppet snake around his waist, Zi Chen stepped on the road to the small town.
The old man sent Zi Chen all the way to the outskirts of the village. Zi Chen waved his hand and left.
"I hope you can leave this damned place," the old man muttered in a low voice and turned to walk towards the village.
In the direction of the small town, the old man had already pointed out very clearly. Along the way, he should try to walk on the main road. Although it would be troublesome to meet some people, compared to the insects and snakes that could rush out at any time to take people's lives, the danger brought by humans was much less.
The road ahead was not difficult to find. At noon, Zi Chen walked for about ten miles and found a big rock to rest. After eating some dry food, he continued on his way.
Along the way, he met some Holy Kings who looked like villagers. When they saw Zi Chen, their first expression was unfriendly.
However, after seeing the puppet snake wrapped around Zi Chen's waist and shoulder, the unfriendliness in their eyes turned into shock.
In this dark night, he would only stay for one night, so Zi Chen did not want to cause any trouble.
When the sky was about to turn dark, he found the cave that the old man had pointed out to him. The cave was well hidden, covered with fallen leaves. The cave was a little damp, and it looked like no one had lived in it for a long time.
Zi Chen did a simple cleaning and placed the bamboo basket and the puppet snake inside. Then, he found a few large rocks and sealed the entrance of the cave.
In this world, there would be wind at night, and mosquito-like insects would appear in the wind. They were very aggressive and dangerous.
In addition, on the ground, there were also groups of ants moving forward. They were in groups and were also a powerful species.
Compared to other dangers, in this world at night, these two things were the most dangerous.
As night fell, the wind blew again. Through the sealed cave, Zi Chen could hear buzzing sounds from the outside world.
In addition to the buzzing sounds, there were also rustling sounds, which should be the sound of the Divine Ants gnawing on the trees.
In this world, the wooden houses were built with a very special kind of wood. This kind of wood was not only tough, but also gave off a very strange smell that only the Divine Ants could smell. They did not gnaw on it.
In this strange world, it was his first time spending the night outside. Zi Chen was still a little nervous, so he could not go to sleep early.
Suddenly, he heard the roars of beasts coming from a distance.
In this world, there were beasts, which could be called Divine Beasts, but they were not the kind of Divine Beasts that could really call the wind and summon the rain. However, in this world, they were much more powerful than those Holy Beasts. They could barely be called Pseudo Divine Beasts.
At that time, the old man had told him that if he wanted to kill these Pseudo Divine Beasts, only those powerful ability users could do it.
Just like in the mortal world, in this world, there were also hunters, but what they hunted were not beasts, but Pseudo Divine Beasts that were even more powerful than Holy Beasts.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, Zi Chen heard a stronger wind, and then he felt the whole ground shaking.
The angry roars of beasts seemed to be very close, mixed with anger and fear.
"Someone should be fighting!" Hiding in the cave, Zi Chen secretly guessed.
The old man had told him that this world was full of danger at night. Anyone who dared to appear at night, whether it was a human or a beast, was an extremely powerful existence.
Undoubtedly, on this night, Zi Chen encountered such a level of existence.
In addition to the roars of beasts, Zi Chen could also hear explosive shouts, and now he was more and more sure that there were hunters hunting Pseudo Divine Beasts outside.
He was curious, but he also knew that with his current strength, he could not walk in the dark.
Thus, he could only hope that those people who were fighting would not affect him.
He just wanted to stay here quietly for one night, and then enter the town the next day.
The fighting outside was getting more and more intense, and the frequency of the ground shaking was also getting faster and faster. Zi Chen's face became very ugly, because listening to the sound of the fighting, it seemed that this place was getting closer and closer.
The God of Luck was not able to favor him tonight, and the thing he was most worried about happened. Just when he was most nervous, he heard a tremor coming from the sealed cave, followed by splashing stones.
Zi Chen saw a big black guy with its back against the cave. The big guy looked like a big bear, but there was no hair on the surface of its body, and it was very shiny. At a glance, Zi Chen saw that it was a puppet like the snake behind him.
This big guy was obviously shocked here by a strong force, and it was very curious about the cave behind it. After getting up, it looked back and saw Zi Chen, and a touch of surprise flashed in its cold eyes.
After that, it ignored Zi Chen and continued to rush forward.
However, at this moment, Zi Chen felt an urge to scold someone.
The reason for that was because right after he left, many palm-sized ants suddenly rushed into the cave from the outside.
Not only was the ant big, but its eyes were also shining, staring at Zi Chen.
"Damn it!"
With a curse, Zi Chen did not care about what was outside, grabbed the bamboo basket and the puppet snake, and ran outside.
If he was any slower, he would have been drowned by these ants.
