Everyone fled in panic, forgetting that their companions had died there.
However, since the carcass was already inside the crocodile, they couldn't very well cut it open and take the body out.
Leaving aside whether they would actually do it, they didn't care about people who died in easily accessible places before, let alone this one.
Despite their swift running, they still couldn't keep up; even those with greater strength in the group couldn't catch up.
Moreover, very few people can achieve such lightning speed, and today they encountered two of them, thinking they were saviors, but unexpectedly...
The most resentful of them all was the person who bumped his chin; his ugly face was completely exposed.
Those standing next to him quickly moved away from him, as he was stronger than most people and they were worried about being caught in the crossfire.
"Master, wait for me."
Chen Hua stopped; there were people ahead of him.
Zhou Feng also stopped. Fortunately, his master's speed was not fast this time, and he was able to keep up.
He is now certain that his master does not like to stay in crowded places, probably because crowded places are complicated.
He himself doesn't like sleeping in crowded places, which is why he has lived for so long. But actually, not many people have seen what he looks like; most have only heard of his fame.
There are people ahead.
Zhou Feng looked ahead and saw someone there, someone he didn't want to see.
Qi Yike.
At this moment, Qi Yike saw them, but he didn't show any particular expression until he saw Zhou Feng's expression when he looked at that person.
She was completely covered up, but her height...
Moreover, given Zhou Feng's personality, if he wanted to find a master, he would definitely not follow anyone else.
So, is this person... her?
He spent a long time recovering from his injury. He thought he was very strong, but he didn't expect to be so weak.
So during this period, he desperately devoured the cultivation of demonic beasts, using any means necessary to improve his own cultivation.
The reason he did this was to make a final push; he didn't want to be eliminated just because of his actions.
Xie Sichen must have a secret to suddenly becoming so powerful. If he can do it, then of course I can too. I not only need to become stronger, but I need to become even stronger than him.
He will definitely avenge that day.
As he slowly devoured everything, his strength increased at an alarming rate, and now he no longer looked like a human.
Its eyes were bloodshot, its clothes were extremely tattered, and its skin looked like it was covered in scales, making it look particularly frightening.
So when they looked over, he quickly turned around, tidied himself up, and returned to his previous elegant demeanor before turning to face them.
To be precise, it was a painting of a figure wearing a black cloak.
Chen Hua: ...
It's gotten stronger again.
Zhou Feng: ...
It's that persistent bastard again. We didn't teach him a lesson enough last time. This time, he and his master will definitely beat him to a pulp.
"Su Ruo, is that you?"
"No, I should call you Chen Hua now."
Chen Hua: ...
She's developed a bit of a yandere vibe; her expression when she speaks is completely different from before, now exuding an evil aura.
"What are you talking about? This is the master I just recognized. Do you think you can meet my master so easily? I've already told you, you two are not destined to be together. You won't even be able to meet her," Zhou Feng said sarcastically.
Even though my master will be beating this guy up with me later, I absolutely can't let him know that this person is my master.
It's already crazy enough; if we push it any further, it'll be even crazier.
Why do we always like to take shortcuts? Why do we always strive for what doesn't belong to us? Living our own lives is perfectly fine.
What's the point of torturing yourself to the point of being neither human nor ghost?
Shen Hua remained silent, still maintaining her aloof demeanor.
But this still didn't fool Qi Yike, because Shen Hua had a white fox in her arms, which reminded Qi Yike of that scene.
It's ironic, really. He was the one who met her first, but Zhou Feng later managed to get her attention much more easily.
Is it because he's lively and adorable? Or because he's exceptionally intelligent? He could have all of those qualities, so why not give him a chance?
Even if it's just an apprentice staying by my side, that would be fine.
Sometimes he really envied Zhou Feng, and even had the urge to ask him to kill him. In that case, the only person she could pay attention to was herself.
But in the end he stopped, not because of brotherly affection, but because he realized that he couldn't keep her at all. If Zhou Feng died, would she leave him forever?
Perhaps it is this cold-bloodedness of mine that has destined me to live in darkness forever.
"You even remember him, so why don't you remember me?"
Chen Hua: ...
It's really heartbreaking to see, if you ignore the madness in his eyes.
This person may be ill, or they may have gone mad and acted somewhat obsessively.
"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not the person you're looking for," Shen Hua said in a male voice.
“Amitabha, benefactor, your attachment is too deep. Letting go of some things will make you feel much lighter.”
Lu Qi: ...
This was the first time it had ever seen its niece offer such guidance, and it really felt an urge to become a nun.
As he chanted Buddhist scriptures, a golden rune was transmitted to him. Qi Yike was stunned for a moment, then looked bewildered.
But not long after, he clutched his head and began to writhe in pain, trying to resist it.
However, the more he resisted, the more painful it became, and in the end he vomited several mouthfuls of blood, which even made Zhou Feng feel sorry for him.
Shen Hua stopped. If she continued like this, she wouldn't be saving him, but harming him. The extent of his demonic possession was far too serious.
She even used her trump card, but it was still to no avail. You should know that she lost a lot of hair when she was learning this.
Qi Yike's complexion only gradually returned to normal after Shen Hua took it back.
He slowly stood up, looked down at the painting, his eyes filled with determination.
Not long after, black smoke began to rise from him, and he was fighting desperately against himself.
Finally, as if unable to control himself, he turned and ran.
"Will he be alright?"
Zhou Feng took a step forward, thinking of grabbing the person, but in the end he held back.
"It's hard to say. Judging from his current symptoms, if he runs away, he might lose his mind and forget himself," Shen Hua said frankly.
Why is his obsession so deep?
Zhou Feng: "I'm not entirely sure either, but he's had a problem since he was a child: he's extremely possessive. He absolutely has to get what he wants, and he's a bit obsessive."
He wanted to see a doctor, but he had often been bullied and didn't have the money to pay for medical care. In fact, very few people in the village had the spare money to see a doctor, so he just let it drag on.
