Chapter 13 Epoch?

"Epoch?"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Qing Cang looked at him with some shock, seeming to want to ask something, but he held back and continued forward.

"Just now, when that prison fighter came over, why were you running on the road? Why didn't you hide in the buildings? It can't get down there!"

Qing Cang didn't speak, but Li Chenzhou asked another question. He had seen very clearly before that these people had been running on the road. There were buildings on both sides, and normally, they should have escaped into the buildings.

But even when they finally dispersed, they all scattered into the alleys on both sides, and none of them entered the buildings! This made Li Chenzhou very strange.

"Buildings won't work!"

Qing Cang shook his head and said,

"That kind of beam, we call it the teleportation light, or light teleportation. It can directly teleport people into the prison fighter, and that beam can penetrate buildings. Once you enter a building, it only needs to cover the building, and the people inside will enter the fighter!"

"Light... teleportation?"

Li Chenzhou was stunned. He seemed to have seen this kind of thing in science fiction movies. The Devourers had actually turned it into reality? How advanced was their technology?

"Is that light teleportation one-way or two-way?"

Li Chenzhou asked again.

"Two-way. It can both grab people up and teleport them down!"

Qing Cang said,

"Moreover, that kind of light teleportation can also penetrate buildings and directly teleport their people into our base! It's impossible to defend against, so our base must be built deep underground!"

"Underground?"

Li Chenzhou's mouth twitched. Wasn't this the same as James and the others?

"Yes!"

Qing Cang nodded, then stopped. In front of them were two modified vehicles, covered with camouflage, which looked pretty good!

"Brother! Sorry, after getting in the car later, we need to blindfold you, because... if the location of the base is exposed, the consequences will be very serious! I hope you understand!"

"No problem!"

Li Chenzhou agreed readily, but then frowned and asked,

"Could it be... that there are humans who have defected to the Devourers?"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's question, Qing Cang's face became very ugly. He nodded slightly:

"Yes! And there are quite a few! They lurk among us, reporting to the Devourers, in exchange for the Devourers not consuming their life force!"

"Life force?"

A trace of doubt appeared on Li Chenzhou's face. Qing Cang then realized that this guy had only seen the Devourers once. It seemed that the Devourer hadn't had a chance to consume his life force.

So, Qing Cang signaled Li Chenzhou to get in the car, then took out a blindfold and put it on him. Then he sat in the driver's seat, and the other two also sat in the back seat with Li Chenzhou, while the others got into another car!

"Do you know why everyone fears the Devourers? It's because their consumption... is so terrible!"

While driving, Qing Cang said,

"If you haven't seen the Devourers consume with your own eyes, you will never imagine what a painful experience it is. What they consume is not your flesh and blood, nor your body fluids, but your life, or rather, your lifespan!

They will put their hands on your skin, anywhere, and then their consumption tentacles will protrude from the consumption opening and drill into your body!

When consumption begins, you can clearly see the consumer rapidly aging, as if the flow of time has suddenly accelerated ten thousand times. You can see a person aging and dying before your very eyes.

In this process, the consumers will scream in extreme pain, even the most determined people are the same. I have never been consumed, but I have heard people talk about it. In short, they say that once you are consumed, your only wish is to die quickly! To end this pain as soon as possible!"

"Consume life?"

Li Chenzhou was horrified, and secretly rejoiced that when the Devourer tried to grab him, he had dodged it. Otherwise, he would have been able to experience this extreme pain long ago.

No wonder, when Nicholas was studying the arm, he said that the tentacles in the cracks on the palm were like some kind of digestive organ. That was exactly what the Devourers used to consume other creatures.

Thinking of those disgusting tentacles drilling into his body, Li Chenzhou suddenly felt a chill!

"I don't quite understand what you mean by the nth Epoch, because we don't have that kind of time unit here. I only know that the Devourers have existed since we had history!"

While driving, Qing Cang said,

"So, our world has always been the Devourers' pasture. Every few decades, they will come once, about once every generation!

The Devourer race has its own rules. They will not capture those below level five ability users. After capturing all the people above level five, they will retreat and let us develop again!

So, every generation of us works hard to become stronger, and then waits for the Devourers to arrive, to fight them, knowing that our strong people are lost, they will leave, again and again..."

"They only capture those above level five?"

Li Chenzhou's heart moved. In that case, this man and that Xiaomei who was captured were both ability users above level five? No wonder he couldn't sense their energy intensity.

"Huh? If that's the case, you can completely control everyone's strength below level five, so that the Devourers won't come again, right?"

Li Chenzhou suddenly thought of this and asked.

"Have you ever run a pasture?"

Qing Cang didn't answer directly, but suddenly asked back. Li Chenzhou couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly realized the meaning of his question.

"A pasture can continue to exist because it can continuously provide high-quality meat! That's the reason for its existence. If we all start to control our own strength, so that the Devourers don't get what they want, then do you think they will simply destroy our planet?"

Qing Cang originally didn't expect Li Chenzhou to answer, but continued to say to himself:

"Of course, these are just the guesses of the predecessors on our planet. No one knows whether this is the case. Maybe, when we all control our strength and no longer exceed level five, the Devourers may not come again.

But we won't do that. One is that it may cause the Devourers to destroy our home, and the other is that we want revenge!!!"

When it came to the word revenge, Qing Cang's words contained a strong hatred and killing intent, and even made a creaking sound of gnashing teeth...
