This had cultivated an immensely proud personality in Zeng Hu.

When the existence of the Awakened was initially made known to the world, Zeng Hu felt depressed for a few days after realizing that he still hadn't awakened. However, he quickly adjusted his mood and resolved to join the officials, even as an ordinary man, to contribute his strength against the Supernatural Fierce Ghosts!

Now that the Awakened Abilities had manifested such powerful existences, Zeng Hu's pride soared even higher!

"Sigh, that kid Ling Hu, even though his abilities are equally strong, why is he so soft-hearted? When will he stand on his own? After I return victorious this time, I'll bring him back some spoils of war to motivate him to pull himself together!"

Thinking of this, the gleam in Zeng Hu's eyes became even more pronounced!

He continued exploring toward the rumored areas of unrest outside the city, and indeed, he discovered many suspicious places along the way.

Whether it was the drastic changes in terrain and landforms, the clear-cut forests around, or even the strange bone fragments occasionally found on the ground.

All these pointed to intense battles that must have occurred outside the city!

Logically, Fierce Ghosts rarely pursue each other to the death in completely free situations due to their mutual repulsion.

Plus, with Chang'an City being filled with humans, even when these wandering Fierce Ghosts encountered each other, they would at most exchange a few blows before finding ways to enter the city separately.

They could never ignore such a large city to fight to the death with each other.

So, these battle traces are peculiar!

As his brain worked rapidly, Zeng Hu also heightened his alert, moving towards the direction where the traces were becoming more apparent. By now, it had been about three or four hours since he had set out.

With the enhanced physical capabilities after awakening, Zeng Hu couldn't even fathom how far he had run, and the traces of human structures were nowhere to be seen around!

Fortunately, having grown up in this area, he could deduce the general direction based on the clues, even if faintly.

The traces all seemed to point to one place—Human Ancestor Temple!

Before the supernatural resurgence, he had visited the Human Ancestor Temple and felt there wasn't anything particularly significant about it. Why would it attract Fierce Ghosts to abandon the humans in the city and head this way instead?

At this moment, besides his initial thought of eliminating powerful Fierce Ghosts, Zeng Hu was filled with caution and curiosity.

Does the government know about the situation here?

If not, then this trip could bring extremely important information to the government! Wouldn't my merits offset my faults so much that the instructor can't punish me?

"Hiss... Strange, after walking for so long, why is there no sound besides the battle traces? Where have all the Fierce Ghosts gone?" The more Zeng Hu walked forward, the more he felt something was amiss.

A certain intuition in the depths of his mind told him that he must not advance any further, as if one more step would plunge him into an abyss!

Yet, pride and curiosity drove him to approach further.

But now, there was still one thing he needed to figure out—

The place he had reached by now was originally the highway leading to the Human Ancestor Temple and even counted as the way up the mountain; if he was on foot, he should be climbing uphill, right?

"Damn it, it's one thing for the road to disappear, but where's the mountain? When did this place become a plain!?"

Zeng Hu suddenly felt like he wasn't a local, as everything before his eyes was unfamiliar…
