"Do you know? I used to be the most powerful person in this world, even the gods couldn't do anything to me. As long as I can find my body, I can revive again."
"So?"
<...Chapter 267 Swallowed the Devourer
Vic still couldn't quite understand Bai Wei's meaning. He felt that obsession or not was a bit too profound.
And before he could think about it, suddenly, Vic felt that the road under his feet looked familiar.
So he stopped and stared blankly ahead.
"Here... I've been here before." He said to Bai Wei.
"Hmm?" Bai Wei looked at Weike and said with a smile, "There is only one road here, of course you have been here before... What you want to say is that you remembered something, right?"
"Yes, yes, I remember now." Vic took two steps forward and pointed to a stone staircase under his feet. "Ade and I have been here before, at this place, on this staircase. At that time, Ade suddenly stopped moving, and it, it..."
Vic was dazed again and seemed to have trouble remembering.
But Bai Wei had already seen in Vic's memory that the little wolf was lying in front of this stone staircase, grinning, but unwilling to move forward, as if something terrible was waiting for them ahead.
"Keep going." Bai Wei patted Vic's shoulder. "You'll remember more when you get to the front."
Vic subconsciously followed Bai Wei, and after taking two steps, he suddenly had some hallucinations.
It was as if the person walking in front of him was no longer Bai Wei, but... himself?
"Don't be afraid, Ade," he saw himself saying to himself, "I will protect you no matter what lies ahead."
So he followed.
After turning the corner ahead, a towering but dilapidated building appeared in front of them.
He saw that he had opened his mouth and looked very surprised.
"This is... the Senluo Temple?"
But the voice that came out of his mouth was Bai Wei's.
Vic suddenly came to his senses and found Bai Wei standing in front of the temple, looking at him with his body half turned sideways.
"This is the Senluo Temple." Bai Wei pointed at the temple in front of him and said with a smile, "You said you wanted to be a hunter, but you can't even recognize your own temple?"
"No, it's not." Vic took a deep breath, "This is indeed Senluo's temple."
The temple lies right in the middle of the road, like a gate blocking a mountain. Only by passing through this gate can one move forward.
"You don't look well." Bai Wei asked, "Did you remember something again?"
"Not yet, but..." Vic hesitated, "Father Uru, I don't know why, but many of my memories are not from my own perspective."
"Oh? Not from your own perspective?" Bai Wei asked knowingly, "Is it from the dog's perspective?"
"Yes... No, it's Ade's." At this time, Vic still did not forget to prove it for Ade. "I don't know why, but it's not the first time. Every time I recall, I see myself from Ade's perspective. This feeling is really... strange. Do you know why?"
"I have a guess, but it's just a guess." Bai Wei said, "But I don't intend to tell you... Don't look at me with that look, because those guesses without evidence are of no help to you now, and will only affect your mood. Think about what the old hunter said to you at the beginning."
Vic's expression darkened: "He said... there's a chance that Ade might be eaten by me."
"Yeah, so how do you feel?"
“…I feel bad.”
"That's it." Bai Wei shrugged. "It's just a guess without evidence. It has no effect other than affecting your mood. So is there any point in asking it? Wouldn't it be better to find the answer yourself?"
"...You are right." Vic took a deep breath, his eyes gradually firmed up, "I will not be confused anymore."
"Well, it seems like you have made similar resolutions many times."
"Ah?" Vic was surprised. "Really?"
"Yeah, but it doesn't matter, as long as we can do it in the end." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Let's keep going."
"good!"
Vic quickly caught up with Bai Wei, and then pushed open the door of the temple before Bai Wei.
The door was not locked, so the sunlight shone in, splitting the darkness in the temple like a sharp sword, and finally fell on the statue of Senluo in the center of the temple, giving people a feeling that the God of Senluo had returned to the world.
The two of them entered immediately.
I don’t know why, but over the years Vic has entered countless dilapidated Senluo temples and seen countless Senluo statues, but he has never felt anything unusual.
But the Senluo statue in front of him gave him a great pressure, making him subconsciously want to say something to relieve the feeling of being unable to breathe.
So he asked, "Why is there a temple of the God of Senluo here?"
"Hmm?" Bai Wei turned around and looked at Vic with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?" "Is it surprising that there is a temple of Senluo in Senluo's sacrificial site?"
"No, no, no, I just..."
Vic waved his hand subconsciously, but a conversation emerged in his mind.
"Why is there a Senluo Temple here?"
"Why not? This is Senluo's sacrificial site."
He was suddenly stunned.
"What's wrong?" Bai Wei noticed the change in Weike's expression, "Are you stupid again?"
"No, it's not," Vic muttered, "I talked to someone here."
"Isn't it just with me?"
"No, I mean... the last time I came here, I talked to someone," Vic said loudly, "There are other people here!"
Bai Wei raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
"...Of course!" Vic already felt more memories about this place coming to his mind. "There must be such a person. I remember it was a woman."
"Woman? A girl, right?"
"Uh, yes, it's a girl." Vic raised his hand and gestured, "About this tall."
"Not that tall, probably a head shorter."
"Okay, that seems to be the case." Vic frowned, "There's also a gray one... eh?"
He was stunned.
"How do you know so clearly?"
"Because she's hiding outside." Bai Wei said with a smile, and then cast his eyes towards the door they came from, "Don't hide anymore, just come in."
Vic was stunned for a moment, then turned his head suddenly and looked outside the door, but saw nothing.
However, it is normal not to see anything, after all, the vision is limited, but Vic didn't smell anything, which is not normal.
If there was really someone approaching, it would be impossible for him not to smell it with his sense of smell.
Did Bai Wei make a mistake?
Just as he was about to ask, he heard Bai Wei calmly say, "If you don't come out, I will kill you. Please believe that I have the ability to do so."
After Bai Wei finished saying this, Vic's nose suddenly smelled a strange smell.
The smell is very faint, as if it could completely dissipate into the air at any time. If you don't smell it carefully, you can't smell anything.
After a while, a petite figure appeared in their sight.
She first glanced at Vic, and then her eyes quickly fell on Bai Wei.
"This is the Senluo Temple," she said. "I am Ivana, the Saint of Senluo. Outsider, don't you think your remarks just now were too outrageous?"
…
Outside the sacrificial site.
The Devourers crawled towards the corpse that had half its head missing.
They have already sensed Visas' presence.
It's in that head.
Tear it apart! Destroy it! Devour it!
Endless ambition drove their actions, so they stretched out their claws, trying to tear open the remaining half of the head.
Then the remaining half of the head became a bloody mess.
Finally, one of their fingers touched the sharp tooth.
This made them even more excited.
but……
With a "click".
The head, with little flesh left, suddenly reacted. The mouth bit down fiercely, and the sharp teeth instantly bit off the entire finger of the devourer.
But this was not enough. The head went a step further and bit off most of the head of the devourer in front of it. Rotten and fresh blood splashed together.
"Want to eat me... Impossible!"
Abeke roared as he chewed.
"You are nothing but a bunch of monsters that died a long time ago! You want to eat me... Impossible!"
He suddenly turned over and pressed the devourers under him, then tore open their flesh and blood with his hands, stuffed them into his mouth piece by piece, and swallowed them into his stomach after biting them apart with his teeth.
"I won't die here... Absolutely not!"
He was like a starving man who came across delicious, unlimited meat.
So he ate a lot.
When the Devourer tried to resist, he removed the Devourer's hand and ate it.
The devourer's mouth was murmured, and he bit off the devourer's entire oral system and ate it.
The Devourer's heart was still beating, and so was that heart.
As long as it is edible, you can put it in your mouth.
And as long as you have this tooth, you can eat anything.
As he continued to gnaw, new flesh and blood quickly grew on the broken head.
"Sure enough...Sure enough." Abeke touched the bloody new flesh on his face and murmured, "As long as I eat these immortal things, I will be immortal. It's really like this...It's really like this!"
He became more and more excited, and his excitement was exactly the same as that of the previous devourers.
"I will be immortal... immortal!"
He increased his eating speed again, stuffing more flesh and blood into his mouth.
In the end, all the Devourers were eaten by him, leaving nothing behind.
He devoured the Devourer.
“Hoo, hoo, hoo…”
Abeke breathed deeply, and the air he exhaled was stained with blood.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
He had never felt so good.
All the wounds were healed and the missing flesh and blood grew back.
He felt infinite power.
“No need for that.” Abeke murmured, “I don’t need to hide anymore. I don’t need to…any more. Hehehe, hehehehe.”
He laughed louder and louder, and more and more crazily, until the whole forest was echoing with his creepy laughter.
"What to do next?" Abe murmured.
"Visas." A voice answered him.
"Huh?" Abeke was stunned.
Before he could figure out where the voice came from, more voices answered him.
"Visas!"
"Visas!"
"Visas!"
The source of the sound was very close, so close that it seemed to be coming from the same head.
Abeke turned his head sharply and looked at the pool of water nearby.
Through the reflection on the water, he saw what he looked like now.
Then I felt relieved.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong.
Abeke thought.
It's just the other mouths on his face that speak.
…
Bai Wei raised his head and looked into the distance, frowning tightly.
"What's wrong?"
Vic noticed Bai Wei's actions, and when he saw Bai Wei frowning, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
After all, in Vic's impression, Bai Wei had never shown such obvious emotions.
What's going on?
But Bai Wei didn't keep this expression for too long. His frown soon relaxed and he revealed a helpless smile: "Nothing, I just feel disgusted."
"……ah?"
Vic was very confused, but Bai Wei didn't say much.
However, Bai Wei did not expect things to develop like this, as if he had created something extraordinary.
But that’s not the point. The more important thing is… now that it’s come to this, can he just give up that tooth?
This was the first time he encountered a body part that he didn't want to take back.
I really don't want to.
But the other two naturally didn't know what Bai Wei was thinking, especially the girl named Ivana who had just walked out. Her eyes widened immediately after hearing Bai Wei's words.
"You said I'm disgusting?!" she shouted, "I'm the Saint of Senluo, how dare you say I'm disgusting?!"
"So what?" Bai Wei spread his hands and said, "I am the priest of the Rhine. I dare to say that the God of the Rhine is also a disgusting thing."
Ivana was speechless.
In order to prevent Ivana and Bai Wei from continuing to entangle, Vic hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Have we met before? Right here."
"Of course." Ivana also shifted her gaze to Vic, frowning slightly. "Half a month ago, wasn't it me who guided you on the path of seeking the power of a hunter? It's only been a short time, and you've already forgotten... And where's the little wolf you brought with you?"
Hearing Yvina say this, Vic was so excited that tears were about to fall.
"You remember, you actually remember!" Vic said, "Can you tell me what happened? My Ade is missing, do you know what happened?!"
Vic and Ivina briefly explained their situations, and after listening, Ivina showed a little surprise on her face.
"Such a thing actually happened." Ivana thought for a while, and then said to Vic, "Don't be too excited. Since your little wolf got lost here, you can definitely find it back. No one knows this place better than me. You just need to follow me."
Vic nodded repeatedly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He subconsciously wanted to catch up with Ivana, but found that Bai Wei was still standing there without moving, so he resisted the urge to do so.
"Ms. Ivana." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Are you the only living person here?"
