God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

When Qin Siyang woke up, his body had once again returned to its optimal state.

After eating some food and drinking some water, he once again set off on his journey back to the safe zone.

He didn't know which direction to go.

Because this time, he had a navigation app, he completely let loose.

When he left the safe zone, he ran wild, going wherever he felt there might be gods.

If he thought there weren't many gods ahead, he would change direction again.

Who would have thought, one strike from the Thunder Snow Wolf's lightning directly fried his navigation app.

Now he was completely dumbfounded.

He could only make a rough judgment.

The Titan Foxtail Grass had remained undiscovered for so long, so it had to be deep outside the safe zone.

Since it was in the depths, he had to go in the opposite direction to return.

So, he returned to the place where he had fought the Thunder Snow Wolf.

Then, he continued forward along the path.

Qin Siyang proceeded cautiously.

At first, he thought it was going well.

Because in this direction, there didn't seem to be any traces of medium-sized gods moving around.

Even the craters on the ground were much fewer.

So, he sped up his pace.

But, after walking for two days, he felt something was wrong.

The traces of medium-sized gods were indeed decreasing.

But the traces of large gods were increasing.

Before, at most, three to five large gods would fly overhead in a day.

Now, more than a dozen large gods flew past every day.

Even if he was directionally challenged, he knew this path was not right.

So, he quickly turned back.

After spending another two days, he returned once again to the place where he had fought the Thunder Snow Wolf.

Four days had passed, and he had made no progress.

Now, Qin Siyang was really starting to panic.

If he didn't find his way back soon, he was really going to starve to death outside the safe zone while sitting on a fortune in materials.

Qin Siyang thought for a moment.

Since the previous direction led to more large gods appearing, he had to go the opposite way.

After eating some food and drinking some water, he once again, set off on his journey back to the safe zone.

In this direction, there were occasional craters on the ground.

There seemed to be traces of medium-sized gods having moved through.

At first, he planned to keep going.

But two days later, in a deep pit, he saw a skeleton.

Outside the safe zone, even high-rise buildings had been eroded by wind and sand to the point where no trace remained.

Yet a skeleton had managed to be preserved.

Qin Siyang knew. This person was definitely not ordinary.

He climbed into the deep pit, picked up the skull, and examined it closely. Then, he tried knocking on it twice before lightly punching it.

The skull remained completely intact.

"What a solid skull."

Although it was just a light punch, Qin Siyang could tell that this person's bones had far surpassed those of ordinary people.

He looked over the entire skeleton.

The bones had no injuries at all, maintaining a lying-down position.

Next to it was a backpack with one corner exposed.

"If this backpack could survive outside the safe zone, it must also be a high-level god-hunting tool. There might be something inside that can help me find the way."

Qin Siyang immediately pulled it out and checked the contents.

"My god..."

The backpack was filled with circular armor plates, each one covered in dense patterns of circles, some even featuring triangles.

There was no doubt. This was a skilled god hunter.

Just this bag of armor plates alone was worth over ten thousand points.

Qin Siyang felt that this person's strength was likely even greater than his own.

Because there were more than a dozen medium-god armor plates inside.

In the safe zone, this person must have been a well-known figure.

Unfortunately, even until death, this person hadn't made it back to the safe zone.

A fortune in points, wasted.

Inside the backpack, Qin Siyang also found a piece of cloth with writing on it. The blood stains on it had already dried.

[Unbelievable—I, Zuo Jiangnan, actually starved to death here because my navigation failed.]

[If anyone finds my bones, please take them back to the safe zone and give them to my family. Thank you very much.]

Qin Siyang stared at the tattered last words.

His gaze froze.

His focus locked onto two words, unable to look away for a long time.

'Starved to death.'

'Starved to death…'

'Such a powerful god-hunting sequence ability user… actually starved to death…'

Qin Siyang broke down.

He seemed to see his own future in Zuo Jiangnan.

One day, he too would end up like Zuo Jiangnan, starving to death outside the safe zone.

That day was already waving at him from not too far away.

Looking at Zuo Jiangnan's skeleton, Qin Siyang felt a deep chill in his heart.

Even though Zuo Jiangnan didn't mention any rewards for bringing his bones back, Qin Siyang still placed his skeleton and backpack into his storage box.

As for why such a strong person didn't have a god-hunting tool with them, Qin Siyang couldn't be bothered to think about it.

Right now, no amount of money was more valuable than knowing the way back to the safe zone.

Zuo Jiangnan had starved to death without making it out, which meant there was no safe zone nearby. That also meant Qin Siyang was heading in the wrong direction.

Qin Siyang had no choice but to turn back again.

He once again arrived at the place where he had fought the Thunder Snow Wolf.

This time, another four or five days passed, still with no progress.

Qin Siyang checked. His remaining rations could last him another week.

If he couldn't make it back to the safe zone within a week, he planned to find a deep pit, lie down next to Zuo Jiangnan's skeleton, leave a note, and wait for death.

Qin Siyang remembered that it had taken him five and a half days to get here from the safe zone.

Which meant, he had no room for trial and error.

He could only keep heading down one path.

Success or death.

Just as Qin Siyang was about to set off again, he suddenly saw a moving figure on the wasteland.

'It is a person!'

The figure was moving at extreme speed, rapidly approaching Qin Siyang's location.

Qin Siyang froze for a moment, staring carefully at the figure.

That person was wearing purple armor, with their face obscured by a helmet, making it impossible to tell who they were.

Qin Siyang frowned tightly, unsure whether this person was friend or foe.

So he immediately took out his dagger soaked in sequence potion. Then, he opened his storage box and took out small pieces of Lava Crocodile, Ice Crystal Moth, Corrosive Black Centipede, and Thunder Snow Wolf meat, placing them between his teeth and cheeks. He also held a few pieces of other small god's flesh in his mouth.

He was ready to fight at full power at any moment.

As Qin Siyang watched warily, the person approaching suddenly took off their helmet while running.

A familiar face appeared in Qin Siyang's eyes.

The person waved and shouted: "Little Qin! It's me! Finally found you!"

"Old Li?"

Seeing that sparse hair fluttering in the wind and that shiny bald head, Qin Siyang's eyes filled with tears.

Li Tianqi jogged over to Qin Siyang.

"Ah, Little Qin, you really ran deep! You actually made it all the way here! I had such a hard time finding you!"

Qin Siyang was so overwhelmed with emotion that he could barely speak.

He never expected that Old Li would actually come looking for him.
