Since throwing Chen An's abyss chip, Alex found that he has become more and more mysterious and weird recently. In addition to exercising every day, most of the time he stared at the abyss chip in his hand as if he was in a madman, and sometimes muttered some words that he couldn't understand.

When he asked Chen An why he would never get tired of watching the Abyss Crystal, he gave an inexplicable answer.

What I see is not it, but the story behind it.

Unwilling to give up, he asked again what the story behind the Abyss wafer.

He said, a story of self-guessment.

Alex couldn't help but feel sulking about this. He always felt that Chen An was hiding something from him. Shouldn't good friends treat each other honestly? Although he understood that Chen An was inconsistent with something, if he broke the casserole and asked to the end, Chen An would definitely tell him, but he didn't do it just because he respected Chen An's choice. He believed that sooner or later, Chen An would take the initiative to confess everything to him.

"An! I'll go out to find out the situation, be careful!"

The listless Alex simply decided to find something for himself. It was not the first time he did this. For the sake of the safety of the two, they must always be alert to external movements.

"I understand. Remember to disguise yourself and don't notice something strange. Also, passers-by should be careful. If you encounter a monster, you can avoid it. Don't fight rashly again." Before leaving, Chen An gave another careful advice. Alex waved his hand impatiently, and then left the camp.

I don't know if it was because of becoming a god's follower, Chen An found that Alex's violent tendency began to become more obvious, especially after killing the monster, which seemed to intensify even more, which could easily be reflected in his daily words and deeds. For example, the two talked about how to solve the food crisis. They used to be willing to trade through disguise, but now they feel that it is better to kill some lonely god's followers or mortals to get food. When they mentioned the monster issue, he showed a fighting spirit of eagerness. Fortunately, Chen An dissuasion was among them, otherwise it would be hard to imagine whether he would really take action.

Although Alex is still the same Alex, Chen An still couldn't help but worry about his mental state, fearing that he would become a cold-blooded butcher who longed to kill.

People will inflate themselves, and the parties usually rarely realize this, and even think that all this is a matter of course. This change is a change of personal concepts. It is basically difficult to completely reverse the other party's behavioral thoughts. Only subtle influence may have some effect.

The power, wealth and status brought by the identity of the God-Follower all tempt people’s wildest desires in their hearts, especially for the people at the bottom of society. As long as you become the God-Follower, your life will undergo earth-shaking changes overnight.

In the past, hunger and cold, now we are dressed in luxury and food; in the past, we were bullied, but now we are arrogant and prosperous.

Put yourself in your shoes, will you refuse this change?

No one in the world would refuse, let alone Alex, a young and frivolous boy?

Opposing authority, opposing constraints, and opposing all traditional concepts is the common idea that children of this age group have.

If the Temple incident had not occurred, Chen An believed that his relationship with Alex would not have been as likely to be as dependent on one another as it is now. As time goes by, the two of them will only gradually drift away on their respective paths and become strangers from now on.

Perhaps his thoughts are a bit pessimistic, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee what the future will look like.

...

As soon as Alex, who was absent-minded, walked out of the camp woods, he immediately saw three guys who seemed to be god-following him not far away, and the other party discovered him at the same time and could not avoid him.

"Hey! Man!"

The moment the two sides met, they were full of vigilance. When the people on the other side saw Alex's disguise, they seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. One of them took away the weapon and immediately stepped forward with a smile and said hello.

"Is there something wrong?" Alex said as if calm and indifferent.

"My name is Gorance. These are my two partners David and Halle." The man made a familiar introduction before getting to the point. "Did you gain anything in the woods ahead?"

"No, I have never gained anything since I hunted a monster in that wood a few days ago. What's wrong?" Alex asked with a frown.

"So that's it. Have you noticed other strange visitors in the woods these days?" The man named Gorance continued to ask.

"No!" Alex shook his head and said coldly. "This wood is my hunting ground these days. I know it clearly when anyone has come. In my impression, you are still the first people to come to this wood."

"Then we are really too presumptuous to disturb your hunting." When Gorance heard this, his face changed. "That is, you have been in this woods all these days?"

"Is there a problem?" Alex snorted coldly.

"No, it's just that you've been hunting in this woods these days. I'm afraid you don't know what big things happened outside Bella Oka?" Gorance said quickly.

"Big thing? What big thing?" Alex asked at the opportunity.

"That's right. Recently, two blasphemers from the Temple of Reggie were released. After learning that the two of them had escaped into the Demon-Capital Tower, the temple immediately issued a wanted order to the majority of the gods. Now, the entire Belaoca gods' favored almost all of the rewards from the Temple of Reggie have poured into the Demon-Capital Tower for the Demon-Capital Tower. The three of us also found this place to find the two blasphemers." Gorance briefly explained the situation.

"So that's it. I've been here for nearly ten days and half a month. I don't know much about what happened in Bella Oca. I want to thank you for the news." Although Alex was so nervous that he was sweating all over, he still maintained a cold attitude of keeping people thousands of miles away. "Do you have more information about those two people? Recently, I happened to sweep the woods again and plan to go back to the city. If you are lucky, they may be able to find their whereabouts."

"Come on, I happen to have their reward portraits here. Anyway, our brothers are already familiar with each other's appearance and can't use it anymore. Why don't you give it to you, brother?" Glens immediately took out two wrinkled paper from his arms and handed it to Alex as if he was attentive. "Since this wood is your hunting ground for brother, we brothers will not disturb you."

As he said that, Gorance turned around and left quickly with his two companions.

Alex looked at himself and Chen An, who were vividly depicted on the bounty portrait, and felt his heart jumping out of his throat. He tried hard to calm down his uneasy mood. After watching the three people disappear from sight, he immediately turned around and ran towards the camp in the woods.

"Brother Gorlans, why were you so cautious about that person just now?"

Shortly after leaving, someone in the three-person team that met Alex immediately asked Gorance in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, haven't you heard my conversation with each other just now? This is his hunting ground. You don't know that no one dares to occupy a place on the fourth floor to hunt monsters alone! You two guys who have been mingling in the first three floors know nothing about it!" Gorance taught them a lesson with disdain. "People like those who like to act alone often have a high opinion of themselves, have a weird temper, and sometimes they draw their swords at each other when they disagree. Do we need to offend each other and cause trouble for themselves? Don't you know what the most important thing after becoming a god's favor? The most important thing is that you have to have the life to enjoy the benefits of the god's favor, otherwise what is the difference between us and those mortal desperate people in the demon-sealing tower? So, you are still too young and too naive. After you spend a few more years, you will understand my good intentions."

In fact, there are indeed many people like Gorance who are passive and slutty. In their eyes, there is no need to take their lives on unnecessary adventures without changing their living conditions. As he said, only living is the most important thing.

...

As usual, Chen An took a towel to wipe his sweat while he was wiping out his sweat. There was a sound in the forest in the distance. After a moment, he saw Alex rushing towards him in panic.

"An! No! The temple has mobilized the gods to capture us!"

Chen An was slightly stunned, then quickly calmed down and said, "What happened? Tell me everything right now!"

As he said that, Alex repeated the incidents he had encountered after going out in detail, and handed over the bounty portraits depicting them to Chen An.

"If I hadn't been able to successfully deceive them with excellent acting skills, otherwise the consequences would have been absolutely unimaginable once they were allowed to enter the woods and search for them..."

Finally, Alex, who was still in shock, did not forget to boast about his performance.

"I think we must leave here and head towards the next level." Chen An grabbed the bounty portrait in his hand and said with a heavy face.

"Why? If I had used the same method, I would have deceived many people to avoid this woods." Alex frowned and puzzled. "Besides, the layers of the Demon-Capture Tower are more dangerous than the layers. It is difficult for me to guarantee that I can survive alone in the next tower level, let alone take care of your safety, so do you think about it again?"

"Alex, you have to know that the same trick cannot deceive everyone. With such a lucky mentality, it will only harm yourself in the end." Chen An reached out and rubbed his eyebrows. "The information about us must be well known to everyone. With you, a new god-loving person, and I, a mortal, normal people will think that we are hiding in the relatively safe first three levels, so the search force of the first three levels is definitely the greatest. Once they do not find our traces in the first three levels, they will inevitably turn their attention to the next level. Even if we want to leave, we can't walk... Although the fifth level is much more dangerous, at least we still have hope of survival, but there is only a dead end to the large number of god-loving persons who searched us."

Chen An said it very reasonably. If Alex, the only one who blasphemed, would naturally not be afraid of the large-scale search of the temple with his ability to disguise. As long as no one could see through his disguise, he would be able to stay away from justice.

But the problem is that Alex is not alone. Since he chose to go to trouble with Chen An, it means that his first consideration is how to ensure Chen An's personal safety, rather than allowing himself to make up for his personal selfish behavior. Unless he betrays the burden of Chen An, his abilities and freedom will be stymied by this.

"When will we set out?"

Alex sat on the ground and hugged his head and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he agreed with Chen An as if he had accepted his fate.

“The faster the better.”

Chen An had been waiting for Alex's decision quietly. Seeing that he finally thought it through, he couldn't help but sigh. Could it be that he could not see Alex's hesitation and entanglement? Of course he could see that it was because of this that he felt more and more guilty. In fact, it was indeed he who dragged Alex down, otherwise he would not have fallen into the current situation. However, now that things have come to this, it is no longer meaningful to say anything else.
