Inside the square city.

When Qiao Yuan crawled out of the small hole, he was shocked. What he saw before his eyes was not the once prosperous Sifang City, but a ruin!

The quaint buildings on both sides of the street collapsed, the walls were broken, and the ground was covered with cracks, just like after a major earthquake!

What's even more strange is that it is extremely quiet here. There is not a single living person in sight. It is filled with depression and deathly silence.

What exactly happened here?

Qiao Yuan became alert and looked around, then quickly rushed to the Love Inn.

The entire inn looked like it had been blown to pieces, with broken wood and rubble everywhere. Among the ruins, Qiao Yuanzhi found a few broken wooden boards.

I didn't see a single person along the way.

So where did all these people go?

Are they all dead?

If a battle took place, what about the bodies? Could they have simply vanished into thin air?

etc……

Corpse?

It can’t be…

The mental power continued to spread, and Qiao Yuan shook off the terrible thought in his mind. No one could kill all the awakened people here.

Even that Senior Bai!

Hundreds of awakened people were scattered in all directions, and it was impossible that no one was left alive.

A few hours later.

Qiao Yuan, who was moving through the ruins, still didn't find anything unusual.

The world is surprisingly quiet!

The silence makes people feel a little scared!

It seemed as if all the awakened people who entered the secret realm had disappeared!

"There's no need to waste time looking for it. The answer might be out there!"

Qiao Yuan stood on the roof of a ruined building, gazing into the distance.

"First go to the Lost Forest, then go to the man-eating lake."

Whoosh

With a tap of his toes, Qiao Yuan leaped up and moved quickly towards his target.

…

Lost in the deep forest.

Dozens of figures shuttled through the woods, running aimlessly.

No! That's not running, that's running for your life!

It’s as if there is some terrifying existence behind me!

But the strange thing is that there is nothing behind him!

The people fleeing in front were pale, with a look of fear on their faces. They were all covered with bruises, blood was flowing down their clothes, and they left one bloody footprint after another.

"What's going on? What's chasing us?!"

"Damn it, I can't hold on any longer!"

"Where should I escape to?"

“I don’t want to die!”

“…”

Kacha!

A crisp sound was heard.

A third-level awakener's calf broke instantly and he fell to the ground, wailing in pain. Then his face twisted, and he held his broken calf with both hands, his eyes full of despair.

"Don't...don't kill me!"

The man's body was trembling, and he was desperately digging the ground with his hands to crawl forward.

There was great silence behind, but something unknown was approaching at a high speed, and the oppressive feeling of death instantly came over me.

"Ah, no... don't come over here!"

A terrified scream was heard, and a cold feeling spread throughout his body. The severe pain in his neck made the man scream miserably. Then his eyes became empty and lifeless, and soon he completely lost his life.

This is just the beginning!

Screams were heard from the fleeing crowd in the distance, and figures fell one after another.

Something invisible is attacking them.

Fear often comes from the unknown!

…

The team that originally had more than ten people was reduced to only one person in less than a minute.

"Impossible! I'm clearly not marked, so why would those ghosts attack us?"

"Which step went wrong?"

The last man, covered in bruises, was trembling, his eyes filled with fear and terror.

Death is scary, but what's scarier is the wait before death.

I was clearly not marked by the black smoke, so why did those ghosts want to kill me?

tearing

A heart-wrenching pain came, and a long cut was made on the man's arm. Bright red blood slowly flowed down the wound.

Swish~

Countless cuts continued to spread across his body, and extremely deep claw marks clung to his skin like centipedes.

The man finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

Everything returned to calm.

Until two figures appeared in front of the man in the woods.

He was dressed in a familiar outfit: a straw raincoat, a bamboo hat, and a mask.

The two looked at each other and then started the cleanup work.

Check out these bodies!

…

"What good luck! There's a fourth-level person who's still breathing!"

One of the sturdy men in straw raincoats came to the body of the fourth-level awakener and found that he was not dead. An excited expression appeared on his face under the mask.

"Another high-quality seed. It looks like I, Feng Lao San, can be promoted to the fourth level soon!"

"Fourth Brother, are you okay? Hurry up!"

Feng Laosan picked up the dying fourth-level awakener and turned to leave, but found that his companions behind him already had several corpses on their backs.

"Third brother, there are too many seeds, I can't carry them all, help me!"

"Fourth brother, what are you doing? Didn't the patriarch tell us before we came that we should select seeds according to their strength and completeness? Why are you carrying that first-level seed behind you? Throw it away!" Feng Lao San scolded.

"But, Third Brother, isn't this a waste? Eating the spiritual fruit grown from a first-level seed can also increase a little strength..."
