"You can just buy some food and rest in the town... Accompanying Lilia... it's such a waste of time..."

"It's okay. You're here, so it doesn't hurt to take a look at the spirit tree." Chen Ce comforted him in a gentle tone, "Besides, I have to ensure your safety."

"Safety……?"

"Yes."

"Is there any danger here...?"

The grass in the forest was blown by the wind, and several unknown insects happened to make bursts of screams. Lilia immediately shrank her neck in fear.

"I'm not sure, it's just a possibility." Chen Ce silently walked to the inside of the trail, separated Lilia from the grass, and held Ahri's hand firmly. "But as long as there is a slight chance, I will try my best to ensure your safety."

"Thank you..." Lilia lowered her head in embarrassment.

Ah Li had a look of joy mixed with some doubts, "Although I am very happy that my dear has this intention, but... what danger will there be here?"

"There is a danger of having the soul devoured." Chen Ce explained, "About Azakana...well, that is a bit complicated to talk about, so let's leave it aside. You can judge from the attitude of the old lady just now - you don't Do you think it’s a little abnormal?”

"Abnormal? Isn't that old lady very enthusiastic?" Ah Li became even more confused.

Lilia also showed an expression of confusion.

Obviously, these two beautiful "beast-eared ladies" are still a little too young and a little ignorant of the world.

"It's precisely because she is very enthusiastic that she is abnormal." Chen Ce pushed the mask on his face as he spoke, "I always feel that she is a bit... malicious. In any case, it is better to be cautious, it is always right. .”

"Then my dear, why do you still wear the mask she gave you?" Ahri also touched the mask on his face - a door-god style, like a strange fox.

"Because if you want to find the spiritual tree, you really need to wear a mask." Chen Ce shrugged, "This mask seems to have a unique power... It can enhance my sensitivity to the spiritual realm, and I have checked that there should be no side effects. "

"Oh..." Ahri, who was born with a strong ability to perceive the spiritual realm, said it didn't matter, "Then what do you think we will encounter if we encounter danger?"

"Azakana." Chen Ce replied instantly.

"What is Azakana?"

"It's a kind of spirit that can devour people's souls."

"What it is?"

"Azakana."

"What is Azakana?"

"One will..."

……

As the two walked, they showed their human nature, and the road under their feet became increasingly "blurred".

The deeper you go, the more obvious the blue shimmer emitted by the other shore flowers becomes, gradually covering almost the entire forest.

There was no more chirping of insects, and there was no trace of spiritual birds flying by. It was as if there were only the three of them left in the whole world.

The strange light blue mist is getting thicker, and the boundary between the material realm and the spiritual realm is becoming increasingly blurred.

Finally, Lilia saw her "tree mother" - a towering tree located deep in the jungle.

It is as majestic as the legendary "World Tree". Each branch is emitting a wonderful shimmer. Light but huge magic surrounds the trunk. Each blooming branch is like an independent life.

This is the "spirit tree" in the Dream Forest.

"Mother Tree...? No...it doesn't seem to be..." Lilia looked at the towering tree with a look of doubt in her eyes.

"It feels exactly the same as the tree mother...but...why is the tree mother here...the tree mother's call...Lilia thought it was just a branch or a bud..."

Lilia felt more and more something was wrong, but she still approached slowly and cautiously.

"Be careful." Chen Ce hurriedly warned, "I'm here to guard the way here. If anything happens over there, you have to call us in time."

Now he can also feel a clue - what he is stepping on at this moment is not entirely the material realm, but it is not entirely the spiritual realm, but a kind of... space where the two worlds intersect and merge with each other.

Normally, this might not matter, but it is different on the Soul Blooming Festival... During the Soul Blooming Festival, many spirits will return to the world, and some monsters who live by devouring human souls will also be attracted - Azakana.

One of the ten greatest demons in Runeterra, Azakana.

"Yeah...I will..." Lilia responded, getting closer and closer to the spirit tree.

Chen Ce watched her warily, fearing that something unexpected would happen if he wasn't careful.

So is Ari.

But...sometimes, changes always come that catch people off guard.

The surrounding light blue mist suddenly darkened, accompanied by bursts of strange cold wind.

In just a moment, Lilia's figure completely disappeared into the strange fog.

Chen Ce quickly called the other party's name, but did not receive any response.

He quickly pulled Ah Li and ran towards the spirit tree.

However, in this short distance of a few dozen meters, they ran for a while without seeing any trace of the spirit tree.

"Is this the body that has completely entered the spiritual realm..." Chen Ce immediately realized the problem, "We have to rush out of the spiritual realm."

"Eh...? Huh...?" Ah Li didn't understand what was happening now.

But she made a new discovery.

She saw a familiar figure walking over from the other side of the mist.

That is……

"Dear...look there...?"

"What?" Chen Ce looked in the direction of Ah Li's finger.

Then, he also saw the strange person through the mask.

It was... himself.

Another "Chen Ce".

The other party walked over slowly and then stopped in front of Ahri.

"Ali, it's me..." Chen Ce's voice sounded very ethereal, like a sigh coming from a deep well. "I'm back...I miss you so much..."

"...?" Ah Li, who was wearing a mask, turned to look at Chen Ce, who was also wearing a mask next to him.

"I have returned from the world of the dead... Tonight when the flowers of the other side are in full bloom..." Fake Chen Ce seemed to know that [the person he missed most] in Ah Li's heart was contaminated with the aura of the underworld, but he did not know the specific circumstances.

It seems to assume that "people contaminated with the aura of the underworld" = "dead people".

Ah Li was speechless for a moment, but found it a bit funny.

So she held Zhen Chen Ce's arm harder, even touching her plump breasts.

Then, she gently removed the mask from the other person's face.

Under the mask, Chen Ce showed a troubled expression.

"My dear, this is Azakana, right~?"

Chapter 80 Shaun the Sheep×Qianjue the Sheep√

Chen Ce knew about "creatures" like Azakana.

Although Azakana is one of the ten demons, they are completely different from the other nine demons - the nine demons such as Evelyn, Tam and the demons who made deals with Swain are all independent individuals. Duya Zakana is a "species".

There are many, many demon Azakana. For example, the mask that Yone was parasitized after his death in the original timeline was one of the stronger Azakana - there are many similar situations.

There are a lot of Azakana, and their strengths vary. The only thing they have in common is that they all feed on human souls and negative emotions - as long as they absorb enough "food", they can evolve from juvenile bodies. When you reach adulthood, your strength will also increase greatly.

And their most common hunting method is to lurk in the spiritual realm and wait for the arrival of prey.

Days like Soul Blooming Day are when they have the greatest chance of hunting successfully.

On this day, the boundaries between the material realm and the spiritual realm will become blurred. Many strangers from the material realm will unknowingly step into the spiritual realm, and their sadness of missing their relatives and friends happens to be the most tempting. food……

For example, Ahri was marked as a hunting target by a certain Azakana - entering the spiritual realm, the person he missed most was "dead", and he was simply the perfect prey with stacks of buffs.

But unfortunately...the reality may be different from what it imagined.

Chen Ce looked at the "person" in front of him who looked exactly like himself, and could almost see the surprise in its eyes.

Obviously, it only knew that the person Ah Li missed the most was contaminated with the aura of the underworld, but it didn't know that that person had returned from the underworld.

Even... can stand in front of it.

Their eyes met, somewhat awkwardly.

Only Lezihu Ahli was still laughing: "You Chen Ce is too fake. The real Chen Ce would not turn into a ghost and come back and say he wants to be a concubine. He would only say, 'Ah~~~I died so miserably~~~I want to" I’ll come back to take revenge on you~~~’”

Fake Chen Ce's eyes twitched.

Chen Ce really speaks to the experts.

"Why are you still alive..." Fake Chen Ce, also known as Azakana, revealed a deep resentment and confusion in his deep voice. "The priest obviously didn't lie to me... I can also see the breath of death..."

"No reason." Chen Ce shrugged and took out the broken black stone rune sword from behind. "Only because the underworld cannot trap me. I am back from the dead."

The ghosts in the underworld have no entities, but Azakana in the spiritual realm has entities.

As long as there is an entity, there is nothing to fear.

All existences that follow the laws of physics are afraid of insufficient firepower!

"Face the wind!"

The black stone rune giant sword regrouped under the power of the wind, and instantly released a powerful blast of energy.

The violent attack hit Azakana directly from the front, instantly sending him flying more than ten meters away. The fake human skin suddenly cracked, spurting out bursts of blood - purple blood.

But this won't hurt his life.

It hasn't revealed its true identity yet.

"Ah... damn humans..."

Azakana was lying on his back on the ground, and the fake human skin on his body began to peel off gradually, and the squeaking sound of peeling off flesh and blood made people shudder.

After a while, it shed a perfect human skin like a snake shedding its skin.

And its original body was also exposed from inside - a red monster with horns on its head and eighteen sharp bone spurs on its back.

It is more than three meters tall and has a skinny body with no skin covering its surface. The lean muscles are directly exposed to the air. If you look closely, you can find some kind of green mucus flowing between each muscle. It looks disgusting and horrifying.

It also exudes a strange stench.

"You are just a weak human being...a tiny creature who will die if you break your neck..."

"This is the spiritual realm...this is my realm..."

"it's here……"

"You are only worthy of being used as food!!"

After a roar, Azakana's huge body immediately jumped up from the ground like a spring, and then rushed towards the two of them with bared teeth and claws.

But Chen Ce just calmly took out his other weapon-Dolan's Gun.

The moment Azakana arrived in front of him, the counterattack storm just started.

clang--!

Clang clang clang --!

The huge and sharp claws were all blocked by Dolan's gun, and the gun barrel slammed down again.

Boom——!A good voice represents a good head.

With just one encounter, Azakana was knocked dizzy.

But that doesn't mean it's going to lose out right now.

As it said before, the spiritual realm is its realm.

"Damn mortal...!"

The dizzy feeling only lasted less than half a second, and Azakana quickly absorbed energy from the spiritual realm to recover from his injuries.

Then, it pounced on Chen Ce again.
