Chapter 4041

A faint smell of blood permeated the air. Zi Chen hid in the dark and saw a black shadow pass by him.

There was no sound.

If it wasn't for Hope's warning, Zi Chen would have been discovered by the other party.

It was a person.

A stranger that Zi Chen was sure he had never seen before.

But why would such a stranger come here at this time?

Zi Chen was puzzled. But soon, Zi Chen discovered that there was more than one person.

Daring to sneak into the place where the ghosts lived, Zi Chen guessed that these people were all awakened ones.

He had always thought that the three of them were the only awakened ones in this area.

Not knowing the temperament of the other awakened ones, Zi Chen was ready to retreat.

Suddenly, there was a roar. It was one of the awakened ghosts.

Then, more ghosts woke up.

There was the sound of fighting. Zi Chen saw the flowing light of power. Those who sneaked in were all awakened ones.

This surprised him.

But there were strong and weak ones among the awakened ones. Zi Chen vaguely saw one of the awakened ones being knocked to the ground and then swallowed by the ghost.

After swallowing the awakened one, the ghost's power became stronger, and its whole body emitted a bright light.

This obvious power made Zi Chen's expression change.

The others saw that the situation was not good and immediately began to retreat.

The glowing ghost let out a commanding roar, and the other ghosts chased after them.

Some of the rooms were quiet. The ghost cursed angrily. How dare they not listen to its order. It shouted that it wanted to find these dead pigs to settle accounts.

Zi Chen began to retreat. He didn't want to encounter such a powerful existence.

While retreating, Zi Chen noticed that the few people who were running away were surrounded and were in danger.

Although they had ruined his plan, they were still Awakened ones. If he didn't help them now, they would all die when the powerful Ghost Spirit approached.

Moreover, the ghost would grow stronger and become an unparalleled existence.

Zi Chen approached from the dark and appeared like lightning. The bone sword in his hand drew a light.

Chi!

A ghost's throat was cut open, and it fell to the ground with its head raised.

When the other ghosts saw this, they all turned around vigilantly.

Zi Chen's figure had already disappeared from the other side.

While he was in a daze, the Awakened ones all left.

The Specters glanced at the corpse on the ground. They seemed to be frightened and did not immediately pursue.

After taking action, Zi Chen did not meet up with the Awakened ones. Instead, he returned to the agreed upon location.

Seeing that Zi Chen had returned, Qing Yi and Yi Bufan immediately went up to greet him. For safety reasons, they didn't light a bonfire and didn't even communicate with each other. The surroundings were very quiet.

"What's the situation?" Yi Bufan asked.

Zi Chen told them what he had seen and heard. When they learned that there were more than twenty Dark Ghosts there, both of them were shocked.

After hearing that there were other awakened ones, both of them were in disbelief.

Qing Yi said, "It seems that we are not the only ones who have awakened. Since there are other awakened ones in this world, it might be a good thing for us."

Zi Chen neither nodded nor shook his head.

Yi Bufan said, "It might not be a good thing."

Qing Yi didn't understand what he meant. She thought that Yi Bufan was worried that other people would come to snatch the hero position from him.

"What should we do now?" Qing Yi looked at Zi Chen.

"Let everyone retreat first.

So many ghosts have died tonight, they will definitely catch up with us. "

Zi Chen said in a deep voice, "While retreating, set up traps!"

Everyone began to retreat. Their original plan to completely destroy the Specters was stopped because of the appearance of those people.

The only thing that Zi Chen was worried about now was whether the powerful Specter would bring people to chase after them.

Everyone began to move. They retreated for dozens of miles until they came to a forest and stopped.

Following Zi Chen's instructions, they began to set up some traps to deal with the enemy.

This night, almost no one rested.

The Specters that they imagined did not chase after them.

Zi Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You guys are quite good at hiding."

Suddenly, a faint laugh sounded. A person walked out of the dense forest in front of them.

It was a young man wearing a robe made of Specter's beast skin. He had a cold smile on his face as he appeared in front of everyone.

"Who are you?"

Yi Bufan felt the other party's ill intentions and said indifferently.

Footsteps sounded, and one figure after another appeared from the forest. Among these people, Zi Chen saw a few familiar faces. They were the people who were besieged last night.

The purpose of these people was not obvious. Zi Chen's people all held bone weapons and looked at those people.

The leader of the beast-robed young man glanced around and stopped on those bone weapons.

"Is it them?" The young man said.

A young man came forward and pointed at Zi Chen. "Yes, it's him!

He's the one who ruined our plan! "

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qing Yi said in dissatisfaction.

The young man glanced at Qing Yi, and a light flashed in his eyes. "He ruined our plan last night and caused the death of one of our brothers."

Qing Yi and Yi Bufan's expressions changed. Zi Chen had already told them about this matter yesterday, but the two of them had different versions of the story.

"Are you sure it's me who ruined your plan?" Zi Chen looked at the young man, but his expression did not change much.

"Of course it's you!"

The young man pointed at Zi Chen. "If it weren't for you, how could Danny die?"

The young man smiled playfully. "So many of our brothers saw it. Are you not going to admit it?"

The beast-robed young man pointed at Qing Yi and said. "Don't worry, I'm not here to make things difficult for you. It's just that one of our brothers died. You should pay some compensation. I think it's her. We're all hunters, so I won't bully you."

The other party named Qing Yi.

"Why?" Qing Yi was angry.

Yi Bufan sneered. "This is the first time I've seen such a shameless act.

If you want to fight, then come. We'll accompany you to the end! "

He waved the bone stick a few times, and a light flashed from the stick.

The young man's smile didn't fade. The other people around them walked over. Judging by their aura, they should be hunters.

There were more than a dozen of them. They had an absolute advantage in numbers.

"What you know may be different from what I know."

Zi Chen stepped forward and said, "Last night, I arrived before you. After killing a few Specters, your people came. Then, I hid in the dark and let you do whatever you want. Unfortunately, your people woke up the sleeping Specters and were killed by them after being exposed. Your people saw that the situation was not good and planned to escape."
