Chapter 3683

"What the hell is going on?"

Shan Ya stared at the scene in front of him in shock.

The others had worried looks on their faces. They didn't know how Katari and the others were doing.

Zi Chen frowned. The scene in front of him was completely out of his expectations. The Soul-devouring Beasts had begun to attack the village. This was simply inconceivable.

At this moment, due to the existence of the light barrier, the Soul-devouring Beasts were circling around Kata, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

Zi Chen gazed into the distance. Under such circumstances, there must be a leader of the Soul-devouring Beasts secretly commanding them. As long as the leader was eliminated, the Soul-devouring Beasts would naturally disperse.

The Underworld Ghost had once devoured one. Then, could it possibly find a second one?

Zi Chen began to form a seal.

As the seal fell, the Underworld Ghost in Kata instantly disappeared.

In the next moment, it appeared beside Zi Chen.

The little guy was very agile. Its body was surging with a tyrannical aura. During this period, it had grown quite a bit.

"Little guy, look around. Are there any special Soul-devouring Beasts?" Zi Chen looked at the Underworld Ghost and said.

The Underworld Ghost stared ahead. Its bright black eyes were constantly moving, as if it was looking for a target.

Suddenly, its eyes lit up as it stared at a certain direction. Obviously, it had found its target.

Zi Chen also looked in that direction. But before he could discover anything, the Soul-devouring Beasts behind them suddenly began to retreat.

They had retreated.

Shan Ya and the others immediately rushed towards Kata.

Zi Chen hesitated for a moment before he also walked towards Kata. He did not pursue.

When he arrived outside Kata, the light released by the Divine Soul Heaven Grindstone had already dissipated.

Shan Er and the others stood at the entrance of the village, looking very excited.

At this moment, Zi Chen came before the Divine Soul Heaven Grindstone and carefully examined it.

The others were still in a state of shock.

Half an hour later, Yi Zha and the others arrived at Kata. This was because there was not a single person left in the village. Moreover, the entire village had been destroyed beyond recognition.

"What's going on?" Iza came to Zi Chen's side and asked in confusion.

Zi Chen shook his head. Yi Zha and the others who grew up here didn't know, so how could he, an outsider, know?

"Will they still come?" Iza asked again.

"I don't know." Zi Chen shook his head again.

Iza hesitated and said, "I want to stay here for the time being. Is that okay?"

Zi Chen turned to look at Izha.

Yi Zha said embarrassedly, "If those soul-devouring beasts come again, our Yi Zha will definitely be annihilated."

He had already heard from his subordinates about what had happened before. At the critical moment, the Divine Soul Heaven Grind burst out and protected Kata Village, saving everyone.

Yi Zha clearly wanted to stay here and take refuge.

Zi Chen guessed Yi Zha's intentions, but he didn't immediately respond. He immediately separated a strand of soul power and poured it into the Divine Soul Heaven Grind.

From what he knew, the Divine Soul Heaven Grind was only used to exchange for the Lifesoul Fruit. From the changes before, it was clear that the Divine Soul Heaven Grind had other uses.

After his soul entered the Divine Soul Heaven Grind, the Divine Soul Heaven Grind had an obvious change. Strands of soul power vibrated out and Zi Chen's sea of consciousness had an additional message: Divine Soul Protection.

This should be the protective light from before. Zi Chen was very surprised.

Zi Chen moved his spiritual thoughts and saw a ray of light fly out from the Divine Soul Heaven Grind. It extended out in all directions just like the light barrier before. But now, with Zi Chen's control, the range of its expansion became even larger, far exceeding the range before.

After having a general understanding of the range of the protection, Zi Chen looked back at Iza who had been silently waiting for a reply and said, "By the way, inform Gaton that if he's willing, he can also bring everyone here."

Iza quickly nodded, appearing very excited.

Seeing him leave, Zi Chen said, "This matter might not be resolved in a short period of time. You can build some temporary houses nearby."

Iza left. In less than an hour, he brought some things that were commonly used. Gaton's people also came.

And reality proved that everything was as Zi Chen guessed. In the next two days, soul-devouring beasts would occasionally come and try to attack Kata.

With Zi Chen personally overseeing the situation, he led Kata, Gaton, and Iza's soul hunters to repel the soul-devouring beasts time and time again.

The harvest was bountiful.

Compared to Kata, the other villages suffered heavy losses. Some of the leaders who couldn't see any hope left their villages and came to Kata to seek protection.

Zi Chen didn't stop them and accepted everyone.

Therefore, outside of the small Kata Village, many temporary buildings appeared. Many people from different villages stayed here.

They were only here temporarily and didn't really join Kata.

Time passed day by day. Every day, there would be people from other villages coming here to seek protection.

After three days, even the people from Dalte Village came.

Dalte used to be the owner of the God's Grindstone. It used to be a big tribe.

They had many people, even though many of them died during this period.

With their addition, the range of protection of the God's Grindstone was obviously not enough.

Thus, everyone could only squeeze together again.

According to the news that Zi Chen heard, the entire area was ambushed by soul-devouring beasts. That meant that others would eventually come to this place.

When that time came, the range of protection of the God's Grindstone would obviously not be enough.

When that time came, who should he give up on?

Before Zi Chen could seriously consider this question, more villages came. They were very far away from Kata and suffered heavy losses.

After the population couldn't be maintained, there were only two places that didn't have people. One was Yate, which Zi Chen had looted, and the other was Noah.

In these few days, the people from these two villages didn't even come to exchange for the Life Spirit Fruit.

"Could it be that they were destroyed?"

Someone had such a guess. It was said that the number of soul-devouring beasts gathered at Noah was the highest.

On a new day, Zi Chen led all the soul hunters out of the protective light barrier and prepared to hunt soul-devouring beasts.

In these few days, Kata had already started to exchange for the Life Spirit Fruit for free. It even gave out Life Spirit Fruits to those who obviously didn't have the ability to fight.

All of the soul hunters followed Zi Chen, and this allowed the team to form a hunting team that could participate in group battles.

At this moment, figures suddenly appeared in front of them. There were many of them, more than a thousand of them.

After seeing these people, Zi Chen stopped and narrowed his eyes as he looked ahead.

He saw Noah, who hadn't appeared for a long time. His people led hundreds of soul-devouring beasts and walked towards Kata like a black dragon.
