Looking at Zheng Sheng, who seemed to have descended from heaven, He Hu was actually a little excited, because he had also awakened.

Unlike He Hu, Bai Jing, though shocked, showed more excitement and curiosity in his eyes behind his glasses.

He seemed to have discovered a toy he adored, and even his hands, which were hanging in his sleeves, began to fidget restlessly.

"Interesting, interesting!"

"During the battle, what they smeared on themselves must have been the blood of that mutated black dog. So black dog blood can harm the supernatural..."

"...The cleaver in his hand...it doesn't seem to be an ordinary sword either. The sword's aura and ghostly shadows must be related to this sword..."

"...Exquisite swordsmanship, derived from basic military swordsmanship. A military man? No, I've seen his name on the military roster..."

"When I first saw him, his physical abilities were at most 4 to 5 times the limit of an average person... But now, his physical strength is definitely about ten times the limit of an average human... and his strength is even more exaggerated, as if it has been doubled by some kind of force..."

Bai Jing has an exceptional ability to observe; after just one battle, he had already figured out most of Zheng Sheng's thoughts.

"Professor Bai, in just over ten minutes, he's already about to enter the core area of ​​the peach orchard!"

He Hu's shocked voice came through.

In the peach grove, Zheng Sheng was like a peerless warrior, his body radiating sword energy, unstoppable and about to enter the thunder zone in the center of the peach grove.

Peach grove.

Zheng Sheng swung his knife again, cleaving a giant ghost peach tree several meters tall in half.

Suddenly, the view opened up before me, and a faint light appeared.

Zheng Sheng looked ahead.

In the distance stood a huge peach tree, about the thickness of a person's embrace, three meters tall, covered with charred marks, and with many arcs of lightning dancing among its branches.

Perhaps due to being struck by lightning for a long time, the entire tree was left with only the main trunk and three branches, and the tree was bare with only a few tender buds growing on it.

However, at the very top of the peach tree, there was a thunder peach the size of a fist, its body enveloped in arcs of electricity and glowing with a purple light.

Zheng Sheng led the group through the encirclement of the Ghost Peach Trees and into the range of the Lightning-Struck Wood.

As the group entered, the surrounding ghost peach trees seemed to be blocked by some kind of barrier, unable to enter within ten meters of the lightning-struck wood, and could only bark and grovel outside the barrier.

"Finally in!"

Zheng Sheng was overjoyed; the process went even more smoothly than he had imagined.

However, the situation inside still surprised him somewhat.

Centered on the lightning-struck wood, within a ten-meter radius, life flourishes, with flowers and grass growing everywhere, and even the fishy smell in the air has disappeared.

Even the pervasive chill of the eerie world is kept out here.

That feeling was like returning to the real world.

"You...you came in from outside?"

Just as Zheng Sheng was captivated by the lightning-struck wood and the surroundings, several people suddenly emerged from behind the large peach tree, staring at Zheng Sheng and the others in shock.

Three men and one woman, each holding a gun, their muzzles fixed on Zheng Sheng.

Upon seeing this, Luo Hao and Grandpa Niu, who were in the car, quickly jumped out and pointed their guns at the group.

The two sides were deadlocked for a time.

Yang Tiancheng's expression turned even uglier when he saw that the other party was also injured, but he still kept his gun pointed at Zheng Sheng, who was three meters tall in front of him.

The other party's terrifying aura made him even more uneasy.

"Brother, we found this place first. It's first come, first served. Please don't come any closer."

Yang Tiancheng warned, then, seemingly afraid that his words wouldn't have the desired effect, continued.

"You are an Awakened One, but the four of us are also Awakened Ones. If we really fight, it will definitely result in mutual destruction."

"Besides, I have a feeling you guys will be the ones who lose!"

As Yang Tiancheng spoke, he gave a wink to the men beside him, and soon everyone pulled out grenades from their waists, a clear warning.

Seeing this, Zheng Sheng smiled, but because his face was covered in black dog blood, he looked extremely ferocious.

The standard Type 95 rifle and the hand grenades were the same model as those they obtained from Li Yong, and were probably left behind by other special forces teams.

However, judging from their appearance, they don't look like soldiers at all; it seems they've inherited something.

It's quite an unexpected surprise to find four living Awakened in the heart of Peach Blossom Grove!

Upon seeing Zheng Sheng's smiling face, the people behind Yang Tiancheng couldn't help but shiver, as if their hearts were being gripped by something.

"Brother Tian, ​​should we call it quits..."

Someone was speaking in a low voice, but was quickly interrupted by Yang Tiancheng halfway through.

"What's there to be afraid of! The Ghost Peach Forest is so terrifying; this group's forced breakthrough must have taken a huge toll, they're already at their limit!"

"Besides, we have grenades. No matter how strong they are, can they withstand grenades?"

"Don't forget, I'm also a Class B!"

Upon hearing Yang Tiancheng's words, the group instantly calmed down.

Yes, they have all awakened their sequences, and Brother Tian is even a B-rank sequence, making him extremely powerful!

With their firearms on hand, this group is not invincible!

However, Yang Tiancheng was inwardly panicking at this moment.

Although he did not witness Zheng Sheng's battle with the Ghost Peach Tree, he knew from the opponent's size and aura, as well as the thirteen giant Yang Blood Paper Soldiers behind him, that the opponent was very strong!

but……

He has been guarding this place for so long. Ten thousand people in the peach grove have died, all for this moment!

The peaches are almost ripe! Just a little bit more! Just a little bit more!

How could he possibly give up now!

Even knowing his opponent was very strong, he was still willing to take the gamble!

"Brothers, it took you a lot of effort to get in here, I understand. I, Yang Tiancheng, am not an unreasonable person."

"Moreover, we are all human beings, and at this time, we should help each other even more."

"In that case, this thunder peach is mine, and the rest of the thunder tree is yours!"

"This big peach tree, having been struck by lightning for so long, has also become a divine object. It might just be the legendary lightning-struck wood."

"We're surrounded by the supernatural now. If we both suffer heavy losses, we'll all die here. How about we each take half?"

Yang Tiancheng's tone was very firm. He also wanted the lightning-struck wood, but it was too big to take with him, so he might as well do a favor.

Zheng Sheng looked at the group and listened, almost bursting out laughing.

"I think you make a lot of sense. We're all human beings, there's no need for fighting and killing each other."

Upon hearing that Zheng Sheng was actually prepared to agree, Yang Tiancheng was overjoyed.

The other party was indeed at their last gasp; otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to his proposal.

Calm down! I need to probe their intentions further. Who knows, I might not even have to give them the lightning-struck wood; it could all be mine!

"Alright, let's wait here together until the peaches ripen. I'll take the peaches, and you can take the tree!"

"Okay." Zheng Sheng nodded, slowly lowering the pig-slaughtering knife in his hand, but then suddenly looked up and asked Yang Tiancheng a question.

"However, I have a question, and I wonder if Captain Yang could help me answer it?"

"What's the problem?" Yang Tiancheng asked, looking puzzled.

"It's nothing, just a simple question."

"How long has Captain Yang been guarding this spot?"

"We kept watch for about ten days. Why are you asking that?"

"Oh, it's been ten days. I'm just a little curious. This place is surrounded by ghost peach trees, we can't get in or out, and we haven't seen any food or water."

"Your complexions look rosy after all this time, Captain Yang. What have you been eating all this time?"

These words were spoken.

The four men visibly trembled when they picked up their guns, and their eyes darted away.

Yang Tiancheng shouted, "What we eat is none of your business. Since we dare to stay here, we have prepared plenty of supplies."

"Oh, really?" Zheng Sheng smiled, holding the butcher knife.

"Looks like I was overthinking it."

"I thought you guys were eating people!"
