Chapter 4040

Zi Chen's third slash injured You Gui. At the same time, Zi Chen's fourth slash appeared.

His speed was not fast, but there seemed to be a strange rhythm to his footsteps.

Zi Chen's figure flashed and missed You Gui's attack. Then the fourth slash fell and cut You Gui's forearm.

Zi Chen began to move around You Gui. The power of each slash was constantly superimposed.

Zi Chen didn't know what was going on. It was as if when he was fighting with the ghost, his body naturally did this kind of action.

Moving forward, rushing, dodging, all of these seemed to be subconscious movements. It was as if his body had made these movements countless times, so much so that his consciousness could not keep up.

Chi!

Chi!

Chi!

Under Zi Chen's strange performance, more and more wounds appeared on You Gui's body. You Gui roared again and again, but it could not do anything to Zi Chen.

In the distance, the survivors who had escaped earlier all gathered together at this moment. They were shocked to see the battle in front of them.

The human with the bone knife was very agile. The powerful You Gui could not do anything to him.

At the same time, the strange little beast also showed its extraordinary means. It beat You Gui until he could not do anything.

Zi Chen did not know what was going on, but under his continuous attacks, You Gui in front of him clearly lost his balance and direction. He was keenly aware of the opportunity to attack.

Zi Chen suddenly used his strength and slashed You Gui's neck with the bone knife.

Blood spurted out and You Gui fell to the ground dead!

On the other side, Hope had ended the battle early.

Zi Chen held the bone knife and looked at the distance.

Those people were standing there, motionless. They looked at Zi Chen with curiosity and awe.

Zi Chen opened his mouth to say something, but at this time, a voice came from behind. "You are free!"

It was Yi Bufan and Qing Yi. After hearing the news, the two rushed here. They did not expect to see Zi Chen defeating the enemy.

Yi Bufan was a little regretful, but this did not prevent him from being a hero.

There were a lot of people following behind him. After they arrived, they started to dissect the body of the ghost.

Yi Bufan continued to walk forward, to prove his worth as a hero to everyone.

Zi Chen looked at Qing Yi. "Why are you here so soon?"

Qing Yi said, "I discovered a castle that was similar to the sacrificial altar from last time. Thus, I was preparing to come back and report. On my way back, I met Yi Bufan. He also discovered something."

Zi Chen glanced into the distance. Yi Bufan had already gathered the others and was talking loudly about something with spittle flying everywhere.

The others had looks of admiration on their faces.

Qing Yi said, "The place that Yi Bufan discovered might be the place where the Underworld Ghosts live."

Previously, in addition to the altar, Zi Chen had also discovered some buildings. Those were the residences of the five dead ghosts. They had built houses and did not live in caves.

"What are your plans?"

Qing Yi looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen said, "Let's go to the place where the Underworld Ghosts live first. After that, we'll deal with the abnormality at the altar."

After bragging, Yi Bufan brought everyone over. The number of people here was much more than their group. It could be said that they were in a grandiose formation.

Coming in front of Zi Chen, Yi Bufan pointed behind him and said proudly, "They will be following us from now on. If there's anything you need, just tell me quickly."

At this time, many people were curiously watching Zi Chen's team dissect the bones of the Underworld Ghosts. A quarter of an hour ago, the Underworld Ghosts were invincible in their hearts.

They did not expect that in just a quarter of an hour, they would become corpses. Moreover, that guy named Yi Bufan even said that he would lead everyone to kill the other Underworld Ghosts and give them a real world of freedom.

Zi Chen said, "There are some questions that we need to ask. We need to know more about the Underworld Ghosts here, such as their numbers."

Although Zi Chen's team, including Hope, had four awakened ones, this place of captivity was very large. Perhaps the number of Underworld Ghosts here was very high.

This was very important information, but unfortunately, after Zi Chen asked, no one could give him an answer.

No one had paid attention to this problem. In fact, they did not even know that the Underworld Ghosts looked different from other Underworld Ghosts.

"If they don't want to resist, they won't care about this kind of thing." Qing Yi said lightly, "Let me go over there and have a look."

"I'll go with Hope."

Zi Chen said, "Hope's body is small. Maybe we can go deeper and investigate."

Yi Bufan led everyone away from this place. Zi Chen, on the other hand, headed towards the location provided by Yi Bufan. As they neared, they saw a lot of buildings. Roughly estimating the number of Hell Ghosts here, it was several times more than the place they were at before.

Zi Chen hid in the dark and signaled Hope to go and investigate more accurately.

Hope turned into a shadow in the dark and quickly disappeared from Zi Chen's sight.

After about half an hour, Hope reappeared. At the same time, she reported an accurate number to Zi Chen: 77.

There were 77 Underworld Ghosts here, not including the three they killed during the day. Zi Chen suspected that the four Underworld Ghosts from yesterday also came from this place.

Zi Chen planned to go back and discuss with the others before making a decision. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, Hope tugged at the corner of his clothes. At the same time, she stretched out her sharp claws and made a throat-slitting gesture.

Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. "You mean, we should go now?"

Hope nodded.

Zi Chen was a little hesitant.

Hope gestured again. This time, Zi Chen understood. All the Underworld Ghosts were sleeping. Obviously, this was the best time to make a move.

It made sense. According to the information Zi Chen had obtained so far, the Underworld Ghosts were invincible in this place. They had almost no natural enemies, so of course, they would not be vigilant of things around them.

During rest time, it was normal that no one would keep watch.

After a little consideration, Zi Chen decided to trust Hope. He crouched down, gripped the machete tightly, and followed Hope in the dark.

He entered a room and heard the sound of snoring. Without hesitation, Zi Chen went forward and slit the person's neck with the machete.

Zi Chen walked past one building after another like a ghost in the night. Not long after, the faint smell of blood wafted out.

Everything was going smoothly. Just as Zi Chen thought that maybe tonight, he might be able to kill all the Underworld Ghosts in this place, Hope suddenly pulled him back.

Zi Chen glanced at Hope. She seemed to have noticed something, so Zi Chen quietly retreated and hid in the darkness.

Zi Chen held his breath and did not make any sound.
