"There are many corpse monsters building nests in this zombie ridge. As long as we find a nest, we can hide in it and wait until dawn before leaving here."

"They won't attack the nest?"

"I have some anti-mortem powder that I bought at a high price, which can isolate the human breath. As long as we hide in a cave and sprinkle the anti-mortem powder at the entrance of the cave, the zombies will not be able to find us. They will disperse on their own until dawn."

"good."

"There is a cave ten feet behind and to the left..."

"Damn it, why didn't you tell me earlier? I killed so many zombies in vain." Zhou Sen cursed.

"I was going to say it, but you said you wanted to kill me."

"..."

Zhou Sen's depression turned into overwhelming murderous intent, and the thick-backed long knife in his hand flew like snow, forming a tyrannical murderous intent that could not be penetrated by water.

After having the target, everyone quickly reached the entrance of the cave. After a group of people entered, Yao Zhi sprinkled some anti-body powder at the entrance of the cave.

Sure enough, when the anti-corpse powder was sprinkled, the tide of corpse monsters outside seemed to have suddenly lost their target, and they were walking around randomly in the barren mountains and ridges one by one. The tide of corpses quickly dispersed, but this monster corpse ridge was still

The dark shadows are haunting and creepy.

Everyone observed at the entrance of the cave and then breathed a sigh of relief.

While everyone was observing, Shen Huimin picked up some anti-body powder on the ground with a hairpin and placed it in a small glass container.

"What are you doing?" Yao Zhi asked curiously.

"I'll get some samples and study them." Shen Huimin looked interested.

"This anti-corpse powder is very valuable. I spent ten demon cores in exchange for it. Moreover, the efficacy is very poor. It can last for one night at most. We were surrounded by corpses just now and had no time to pick up the demon cores. It's a pity..."

Yao Zhi had a distressed look on his face.

"What is the demon core?" Zhou Sen asked.

…

Through understanding from Yao Zhi's mouth, everyone had a very first understanding of this continent.

This is a hellish existence.

This place was originally called the Prehistoric Continent, but later it was renamed the Demonic Core Continent. Countless residents originally lived on this continent, but thousands of years ago, a powerful demon came.

Only after this demon came to the ancient continent, some dead human skeletons were resurrected. They attacked humans and regarded humans as food. If they were bitten by them, even if they were immortal, they would become corpse demons without consciousness, day and night.

Wandering in the wilderness.

The living space of human beings has been continuously squeezed. Now, the prosperous human beings have only dozens of cities left, and Starlight City is one of them.

In the Demon Core Continent, the battle between humans and corpse monsters has lasted for thousands of years.

This is a battle without victory, because people in human cities often suddenly turn into zombies and bite people, and plagues break out, resulting in the human population never being able to surpass the zombies. The zombies already have an absolute advantage in numbers.

Of course, the numerical advantage is only secondary. The most important thing is that through thousands of years of accumulation, the number of powerful demons has increased, and among them, many super demons are simply unable to be defeated by humans.

Theoretically, in such a harsh living environment, humans should have become extinct long ago. Fortunately, whether they are low-level corpse monsters or high-level monsters, they all have a common shortcoming: they are afraid of sunlight.

Sunlight cannot kill demons, but it can significantly reduce their combat effectiveness.

Through thousands of years of unremitting efforts, humans have figured out many ways to deal with demons, and in successive battles, humans have built some safe cities.

In the battle between humans and demons, the biggest discovery is the role of demon cores.

Humans have discovered that demon cores can not only strengthen city walls and empower weapons, but can also help humans practice and reach a higher combat level.

From Yao Zhi's words, Zhou Sen also gained some understanding of the division of human strength here.

Human warriors are divided into twelve levels, with special assessment departments that will issue warrior badges of honor.

In addition to the strict division of strength in warrior badges, in the human world, there are also other names for strength. Among them, the first level is the entry level.

Levels two to five are human warriors.

Levels six to nine are berserkers.

Levels 10 to 11 are magic warriors.

Level 12 is the highest level and is called a divine warrior.

As for those who have surpassed the twelve levels, they will no longer have medals. Instead, they will be called divine magicians. They have the highest status and are the spiritual leaders of mankind. However, there has only been one god in the entire Demonic Core Continent.

The Magister, and that was more than 2,000 years ago. Now, in major cities where humans live, the only spiritual leader of mankind, the God Magister, is still enshrined.

In addition to the cities built by humans to live in, demons also built some cities, mainly places where high-level demons with divine consciousness live.

At this time, everyone also knew that any corpse demon could evolve into a high-level demon, and a huge group of low-level corpse demons would advance and give birth to countless demons with divine consciousness every day...

…

"Zhou Sen, there's something weird about this place."

Shi Danling, who had absorbed the death spirits of countless corpse demons, was in full swing. His face that was still a bit mouldy was becoming more and more clearly visible, and the yin and yang ship wrapped around him became more and more condensed, like a substance.

"Why?"

"Think about it, Yao Zhi said that the demons in Yaoxin Continent are very powerful. Some demons cannot be defeated by humans at all. Since non-humans can defeat them, why can humans survive for countless thousands of years?" Shi Dan asked.

road.

"Didn't I say that demons also have weaknesses? They are afraid of sunlight. Moreover, it is not surprising that humans can use the demon cores in demons to defend themselves and strengthen themselves. They can survive."

"If this is the case, why can't human settlements expand? Why do zombie plagues often break out in closed human settlements?" Shi Danling sneered at Zhou Sen's rebuttal.

"Well... maybe it's difficult to build a city for human habitation... As for the outbreak of the corpse demon disaster, I can't explain it..." Zhou Sen hesitated and said.

"If it's difficult, how was it established in the first place?"

"It's a bit strange, what do you think?" Zhou Sen also felt more and more wrong as he thought about it. Many things just couldn't stand up to scrutiny.

"I guess those corpse demons are raised by very powerful gods..."

"Why do gods support demons?" Zhou Sen was shocked.

"This is easy to explain. Think about it, if all these monsters worship that god as the true god, then thousands of devout believers will provide a steady stream of faith for the ancient god."

"Well, even if you are right, then why didn't the ancient gods drive out all humans?"

"Zhou Sen, you don't understand. Any faith requires enemies as a cohesive force. If the demons don't have a powerful enemy like humans, then who will believe in the ancient gods? Even us humans, when we believe in

On the other hand, there will be various reasons, such as getting promoted and making a fortune, curing diseases and misfortunes, and having children. If humans have no need for gods, then why do humans believe in gods?"

"Eh... That makes sense. Do you think the ancient gods will live in that legendary demon city?" Zhou Sen nodded and asked.

"It's hard to say. It's been too long. Maybe the ancient gods have left the Demonic Core Continent long ago. Otherwise, Master Ye Rong wouldn't be able to summon the demons here so easily to fight." Shi Danling shook his head.

"Monk, I have never understood why Master Ye Rong can summon the monsters in this world to fight for her?" Zhou Sen asked with a depressed look.

"Master Ye Rong is a martial artist. She is not only physically powerful, but also has powerful witchcraft. She must have mastered some kind of secret technique and can borrow the power of the ancient gods. Of course, she may also be the loyalty of the ancient gods.

believer……"

"Can believers borrow the power of ancient gods? If this is the case, then any person can become a super strong person as long as he is favored by the gods!"

"You said that the phenomenon cannot exist, because if you don't have tyrannical power, you can't get the approval of the gods. Moreover, the power of some gods has a backlash. If you can't resist it, you will gradually become the puppet of the gods and become a puppet of the gods.

The Walking Dead." Shi Danling patiently explained to Zhou Sen.

"Then Master Ye Rong..." Thinking of Master Ye Rong's magical power to control wind and rain, Zhou Sen felt uncomfortable in his heart.

There is no doubt that Master Ye Rong is a thorn in Zhou Sen's heart.

"The monk analyzed the battle at that time. After you severely injured the black-armored demon, Master Ye Rong lost control of the black-armored demon. If Master Ye Rong was a believer of the ancient god, even if the black-armored demon died in battle,

He will not escape back to his own living space, so Master Ye Rong is stealing the power of faith from ancient gods."

"Can this thing be stolen?" Zhou Sen was dumbfounded.

"Of course, in this vast world, there are countless ownerless forgotten worlds and shrine worlds. In these worlds, there are countless various faiths, and in the long river of time, there will definitely be countless people who control faiths.

It is not surprising that the secret technique of power was spread to the Han Empire and was acquired by Master Ye Rong."

"Grandma, I just can't figure it out. Whether it's allowed or stolen, how can that power be obtained by the Han Empire?"

"It's simple. When the gods establish gods, they will leave a ray of consciousness. For example, if your own altar space gives birth to new life, then you can leave a ray of consciousness in the trapped fairy chain.

When the divine consciousness needs power, it gets in touch with that ray of divine consciousness, or clones it, and then seizes the power of faith in the world of the altar for its own use."

"That's it!" Zhou Sen suddenly realized. He immediately thought of the God of Death in the temples of the God of Death. It was obvious that the two had a common understanding.

"Zhou Sen, Zhou Sen..."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Sen opened his eyes and looked at Shen Huimin.

"I'm hungry." In the darkness, Shen Huimin looked at Zhou Sen. After Zhou Sen entered the cave, apart from asking Yao Zhi some questions, he closed his eyes and meditated. This made Shen Huimin very dissatisfied.

, you know, she climbed thousands of mountains and waded through thousands of rivers to find Zhou Sen, but she was ignored by Zhou Sen, so naturally she felt uncomfortable.

At this time, everyone was looking at Zhou Sen eagerly. You must know that they still had something to eat at Wanhua Building. They had been struggling for several hours and were all exhausted. There was no reason why they were not hungry there.

"Don't worry, I won't make you hungry."

Zhou Sen summoned a huge carpet from the Qiankun Ring and spread it on the ground, and then brought out some food.
