“What Big Boss Ye Chen said makes sense. We were rash.”

“As expected of a big shot, he’s so meticulous…”

“Why else wouldn’t I call you Big Boss? There’s a reason.”

“You’re half the same as me. Let’s not talk about anyone anymore.”

“Boss Ye Chen, what do you think we should do now? We’ll listen to you.”

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was amiss.

In the end, he moved behind Ye Chen like a warrior waiting for orders. Seeing how cautious these people were, Ye Chen almost laughed out loud.

“Everyone, don’t be so nervous. He has only been here for a few days. Even if he has any bad intentions, how strong can he be?”

Since Ye Chen dared to say this, it meant that he was confident. He did not think that there was anyone stronger than him at the moment.

“That’s right. Boss Ye Chen is here. Why are you panicking?”

“Let’s go.” Ye Chen interrupted them and continued walking.

The few of them quietly followed behind him.

After passing through the sparkling earth wall, the few of them seemed to have arrived in another space. When they looked over, it was just like an underground world.

Not far from the city wall that he had seen through the crack, there was a door.

“Looks like there are traces of living beings here.”

“There are traces of activity but it has been barren for a long time.”

Whether it was the bones of wild beasts outside the city, human-shaped skeletons, or the dilapidated feeling from the city walls, it all meant that a very intense battle had taken place here a long time ago.

“This skeleton is so intelligent. Even its bones are glowing.”

Everyone looked over and realized that some skeletons were emitting streams of light. If they didn’t look carefully, they really wouldn’t have noticed it. They really thought that it was coming from the city walls.

“Do you think this world can cultivate, that gods are not evil and live forever?”

“You must have read too many novels. You’ve been in the Great Desolate for so many days. With a human body, how can you compare to those wild beasts and fierce birds?”

“And that system panel. With our combat power at the same level, how can we compare to the beasts?”

“Why else would it be called cultivation?”

The moment he spoke, the conversation ended.

Ye Chen fell into deep thought.

He also yearned for a mortal body that was comparable to the gods.

If this world could let people really cultivate and had the combat power to move mountains and drain seas, who wouldn’t want to?

To verify his thoughts, he focused his attention on a skeleton.

[The body is buried in the wilderness]

[It has turned into a skeleton. Its spirituality has greatly depleted. It is useless.]

“Let’s go in and take a look.”

The golden finger did not see anything. He had to go and verify everything himself. At this thought, Ye Chen walked towards the door.

“Is there someone under the city wall?”

As the few of them moved closer and closer to the city wall, some sharp-eyed people saw a figure below the city gate and immediately became interested.

“It really is. Is this the person who was trapped?”

“Should we kidnap him and force him to hand over the treasure?”

“That’s fine, can we consider this as cheating?”

Ye Chen had a strange expression on his face when he heard their conversation. He did not expect these people to be so bold. He really did not know who gave them the courage. Anyway, it was not him.

Furthermore, it was hard to say who was the one who was robbing who. When they noticed him, the other party was also looking at them.

Ye Chen had already been reborn after receiving the help of two Divine Beasts and the power that he had inherited from the Kun Peng. In fact, he was the first one to see Ye Chen but he did not say it out loud.

“Robbery?”

“I just don’t know if we’re robbing him or if he’s robbing us?”

The few of them could hear the playfulness in Ye Chen’s words and were stunned.

“Does Boss Ye Chen mean that he is waiting for us here on purpose and wants to rob us?”

“Oh my god, he’s alone. There are no beasts around him.”

“I’m afraid that even if I were to go up, I would be able to give him a good beating.”

“Something’s not right. Something’s not right!”

In the end, as they got closer, they finally realized that something was wrong. That guy didn’t look normal.

Bare-chested, his entire body was covered in black lines and tattoos. Naturally, his face was also covered in black lines, like runes and words…

“Did you just say you were going to beat the shit out of him?”

“Go ahead. We support you mentally.”

The few of them were egging the person who said he wanted to beat him up just now to support him mentally.

“Yea, I don’t think that’s necessary…”

“Yea, I don’t think that’s necessary…”

The man was stunned.

“If you don’t go over, they’ll come over themselves.”

“You have to work hard. I’ll definitely find you a good place.”

“I think so. That’s what my ancestors used to do. They learned some minor skills, so I can help you find them for free.”

“I know how to blow my trumpet. I’ll give you a song of ‘A Hundred Birds Worshiping The Phoenix’ so that you can walk in glory.”

This was also because Ye Chen was by his side. Otherwise, these people would have long run away. Why else would they still tease their teammates here?

“Stop fooling around. There’s something wrong with this person.”

Ye Chen’s expression was solemn as he stopped their laughter. When he came over again, he used his golden finger to observe the other party. The news he received surprised him.

[Black Mark]

[Race: Evil Rune]

[Grade: S]

[Achievement Length: Growth Period]

[Skill: Possession, Bewitchment]

[Attack: 7900]

[Defense: 200]

[Weakness: Without a physical body, the defense is extremely low. Don’t let go of even a trace of black gas. Otherwise, if there is a trace of black gas, it can recover instantly.]

[Evaluation: Extremely difficult to deal with]

Ye Chen was a little stunned when he saw the information that he obtained through the golden finger. There was such a race in the world that could bewitch and possess people?

If he directly possessed the Divine Beast, then he would be a Divine Beast?

“You guys retreat one after another, the further the better.”

For [S] class opponents in the growth stage, having them stay behind would not have any effect. Instead, it would have the opposite effect. If they were to be corrupted by his Black Qi during battle, it would be very troublesome.

“Boss Ye Chen, inform us if you need help.”

“Boss, be careful.”

Seeing Ye Chen’s serious expression, the few of them did not dare to be careless and immediately retreated to a distance.

He could also summon mutated beasts. As long as Ye Chen gave the order, they could immediately pounce on them and fight. If the nest was destroyed, there would be no eggs left?

“You made me feel a hint of danger.”

The Black Mark that had taken away the human body came to Ye Chen and said.

As a member of the Rune Race, the last thing they needed to fear was death. That was because in the wilderness, there were almost no living beings that could kill them instantly.

With this kind of talent, it caused them to be warlike.

In short, they were either fighting or on the way to battle.

A person could kill him countless times and he could revive but that person could not be killed by him once.
