Chapter 4048

The crisis seemed to have been resolved just like that. However, all the hunters still felt uneasy.

Cardermon's previous actions were still vivid in their minds. Not only had he become much stronger, but he had also become ferocious by nature. Now that Zi Chen had replaced him, no one dared to believe him.

Those hunters who had been strengthened by Cardermon's devouring power were also terrified. In fact, they were suffering the most. On one hand, they had to control their emotions and did not dare to casually devour others around them. On the other hand, they had to be on guard against Zi Chen killing them. Therefore, they felt very uncomfortable.

Qing Yi, on the other hand, trusted Zi Chen. Just when no one dared to approach Zi Chen, she came to Zi Chen's side and looked at him from head to toe. Then, she asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "From the looks of it, as long as I don't devour others, I'll be fine."

Then, he looked at the others and said, "But the premise is that you can suppress the thought of devouring in your heart."

Qing Yi looked at the other hunters and asked, "What should we do with these people?"

Those hunters were all normal people. They would not devour others. At this moment, they were still worried that others would devour them. They were living very nervously.

After thinking for a moment, Zi Chen looked at Yi Bufan and said, "You take the others and leave."

Yi Bufan's expression changed several times. "How do you know I'm leaving?"

Zi Chen smiled and did not say anything.

Yi Bufan asked again, "Where should we go?

Where can we go? "

"Let's go to the place where we used to live. It's safer there," Zi Chen said, "Take the others with you."

At this moment, many ordinary people had already fled. Obviously, they were also afraid.

Zi Chen said again, "Go and find the others. Without the protection of hunters, they won't be able to live for long!"

Yi Bufan did not have any objection to this. At the same time, it proved that Zi Chen still maintained absolute rationality.

The other hunters looked at Zi Chen in a new light. After all, in everyone's impression, Zi Chen was just a man with a devouring armour. He was a man of few words and rarely talked to them.

At the same time, they felt grateful in their hearts.

"You should leave too."

Zi Chen looked at Li Haocheng and Qing Yi. "All of you, follow Yi Bufan."

Li Haocheng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

"I'm not leaving, I want to follow you!"

Qing Yi said without hesitation. At this moment, she was very worried that Zi Chen was only temporarily suppressing his devouring power. Once they left, Zi Chen would lose his original nature.

The other Awakened ones who had mastered the Devouring Power obviously had the same concerns.

At this moment, all of them were looking at Zi Chen, waiting for Zi Chen's reply to Qing Yi.

During this period of time, the over ten Devourers used their gazes to silently communicate with each other.

Zi Chen shook his head and said firmly, "No!"

Right after he said those words, the dozen or so Devourers immediately scattered in all directions.

All of them ran in different directions.

Zi Chen's expression suddenly changed. He shouted, "Yi Bufan, protect everyone!"

After saying that, Zi Chen held the bone knife in his hand and chased after one of the Devourers.

That Devourer had already rushed into the crowd. As he passed by, he opened his mouth and sucked, devouring one of the Devourers' souls.

He couldn't hold it in any longer. When he saw those ordinary people, he couldn't hold it in anymore.

Because as long as he opened his mouth and sucked, a delicious soul would come to him.

Just by devouring one person, his body had undergone some changes. His strength had obviously become stronger, and he was also one step closer to becoming a Ghost.

Zi Chen's target was him.

Such an unforeseen event was beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone was on high alert.

Only now did Qing Yi realize that her insistence on staying behind had brought her a disaster.

If they had left earlier, these people could have followed Zi Chen obediently. Not to mention whether they would become better in the future, at least none of them would die now.

But now, two of them couldn't control themselves and started devouring.

Zi Chen's bone knife left his hand and flew forward like a streak of light.

Puff!

The Devourer's back was pierced through. His body staggered for dozens of steps before falling to the ground.

He was dead.

Zi Chen arrived in front of the Devourer, pulled out the bone knife, and rushed toward the second Devourer who was about to become a Ghost.

During this time, Zi Chen passed by many people, but he didn't even look at them.

However, those people were still extremely terrified. They screamed and retreated.

A moment later, Zi Chen returned after killing the second Devourer.

The other Devourers ran away. Perhaps they were afraid of Zi Chen, but when they left, they didn't dare to devour others. However, as long as they were out of Zi Chen's sight, nothing could be certain.

When Zi Chen returned, he saw that Yi Bufan and the others were staring ahead vigilantly. There was still one person who hadn't run away.

Zi Chen was a little surprised.

Seeing Zi Chen's arrival, Yi Bufan heaved a sigh of relief.

Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "You guys go back. Be careful of the others!"

Yi Bufan was a little hesitant.

Zi Chen continued, "Actually, the strength of a Devourer isn't that strong. Once many of you join forces, you can definitely kill it.

After all, you can even kill a Ghost. Why should you be afraid of a Devourer? "

Everyone felt that it made sense and nodded. They also felt more confident.

Zi Chen was right. As long as they joined forces, they could definitely kill a Devourer. However, it wouldn't be as easy as Zi Chen said. They still had to pay a price.

However, Zi Chen couldn't say that. Otherwise, a random Devourer could easily disband this team of dozens of Devourers.

Everyone left, including Qing Yi.

Zi Chen stood there. Next to him was the Devourer who didn't escape.

He was also a young man. He looked even younger than Zi Chen.

After everyone left, Zi Chen looked at the young man and asked, "Why didn't you run away?"

The young man said, "I don't want to become a Ghost."

Zi Chen asked, "What does that have to do with running away?"

"I don't have such strong willpower. If I encounter other humans, I'll definitely devour them.

However, your willpower is very strong. If I follow you, I can also train my willpower with your combat strength. "

The young man said confidently, "I believe that I won't become a Ghost!"

"What's your name?"

Zi Chen didn't ask what would happen if the young man failed. It was obvious that if he failed, he would kill him.

"I'm Angus."

The young man, Angus, said, "I was following Luke."

Zi Chen nodded and then walked forward. He was walking in the direction where Yi Bufan and the others had left.

Angus followed him and asked curiously, "Why are we following them?"

"To escort them and see if we can find one or two unlucky fellows," Zi Chen replied calmly.

Angus smiled. The reason why he was willing to follow Zi Chen was that when Luke was in danger, no one spoke up. Only Zi Chen spoke up for Luke.

After that incident, Zi Chen clearly had the opportunity to become the new leader. However, he let everyone go. Even though he clearly had the reason and opportunity to devour those damned hunters, he still didn't.

It was obvious that he was a good person.

Moreover, his willpower was very strong. He didn't want to become a Ghost either.
