Zhou Xun looked at Zheng Sheng in the distance with a grim expression. How did the other party find this place?

"Vice Captain, is there a problem here?" Li Tianqi asked from behind, looking puzzled.

In his view, the place where Zheng Sheng was located was a mushroom forest that looked special, and it shouldn't be too dangerous, because the survivors were scattered around, searching for supplies.

If it were truly dangerous, these people would have died long ago.

"You didn't come with the exploration team, so you don't know." Zhou Xun's face was grim as he looked at the black mushroom in the center of the pool, seemingly still shaken.

He continued, "During our previous exploration, we discovered that this forest has four forbidden zones, the foremost of which is the sacred tree of the Divine Tree Cult—absolutely not to be approached!"

"Secondly, there's this patch of mushrooms!"

"At first we thought this place was very safe and had abundant supplies, but we soon realized something was wrong."

"Ordinary mutated beasts wouldn't dare approach this place, as if some terrifying danger was lurking here, until we saw that black mushroom."

"This thing might actually be something like the Divine Tree!"

As Zhou Xun spoke, he handed Li Tianqi a strange pair of half-glasses. One lens of the glasses was broken, leaving only the other one. The glasses were covered in dark bloodstains, which seemed to have seeped into the glasses.

Li Tianqi took the glasses.

He recognized this thing; it was a special artifact in the captain's collection. Although it didn't have much combat power, it could reveal the level of danger of various creatures.

I didn't expect the vice-captain to bring this thing with him.

Putting on his glasses, Li Tianqi looked around.

In his field of vision, half the world turned red, and a number appeared above everyone's head, varying in size, representing their level of danger.

The survivors collecting supplies in the distance mostly had a danger level between 1 and 5, which was very low. Even the numbers were grayish-white, making them appear completely harmless.

Occasionally, a survivor with a danger level of around 50-500 appears. They are likely awakened survivors, but their numbers are very small, and their numbers are displayed in green.

Meanwhile, the danger level of his teammates was mostly around 10000, and the number was light red. The higher the danger level, the redder the number became.

The vice-captain's danger level is the highest, reaching a terrifying 21886 points!

"The vice-captain truly lives up to his reputation as the man second only to the captain. His strength is on a completely different level from theirs; he's too strong!"

"Look at that black mushroom, and you'll know why this place is forbidden," Zhou Xun suddenly said.

Li Tianqi nodded, then looked at the black mushroom in the center of the pool. When he saw it, his pupils dilated in shock, and he was completely stunned!

"3……3……"

"3841259?!?"

"A danger level exceeding 300 million? What on earth is this?!"

Li Tianqi stared in shock at the black mushroom, which was as tall as a person. The danger level of this thing was 300 million, and the number on the black mushroom was no longer red, but had turned dark black.

There are black hole effects around the numbers, and even the surrounding light is being swallowed by the numbers!

Just looking at that string of numbers, Li Tianqi felt an extreme sense of danger, and he even forgot to breathe.

"See that? This thing is an absolutely terrifying monster of nightmare level. Currently, in the entire forest, apart from the sacred tree of the Divine Tree Cult, no other tree is more dangerous than it!"

As Zhou Xun spoke, his face was full of doubt.

"It's very strange. I've never seen anything so special before. It's completely different from other strange things. It seems strange, but it isn't. And its fungal form is like a demon, or a strange object..."

Zhou Xun looked at the black mushroom, unsure whether it was considered strange or not.

All he knew was that they had been in this forest for over two months, and the black mushroom had remained there, motionless, without exhibiting any man-eating behavior.

But the captain's glasses don't lie, and the danger level of 300 million can't be fake!

"It seems to be in a gestation period, lacking some kind of catalyst..."

Zhou Xun's gaze quickly shifted to Zheng Sheng, who was guarding the black mushroom.

How did this person find this place?

The other party had clearly come on purpose, and was even guarding around the black mushroom, seemingly wary of others.

"How dangerous is this person?" Zhou Xun suddenly asked, looking at Li Tianqi.

Li Tianqi finally snapped out of his shock and looked away from the black mushroom, turning his gaze to Zheng Sheng.

"How is this possible? His danger level is 87651! That's incredibly high!"

"And that dog's danger level is a whopping 19887! How is that possible?"

"Those red-armored paper figures actually have a danger level of over 2, this..."

Li Tianqi stared in shock at Zheng Sheng sitting next to the black dog, his mouth agape, speechless.

He had thought Zheng Sheng might be very strong, but he didn't expect his strength to be so terrifying!

Li Tianqi's words also shocked Zhou Xun and the dozen or so people behind him.

"An 8+ danger level? Are you kidding me? Even the captain doesn't have that high a level!"

Zhou Xun suddenly took the glasses and looked at himself, his face showing the same utter shock.

Among these survivors, the strongest among them has a danger level of only a few thousand, clearly indicating that they are newcomers who have just entered this world.

But how come this man's stats are so terrifying!

Furthermore, it's important to understand that the level of danger posed by the glasses only reflects the current level of power.

In other words, even when the other party is in its normal state, the danger level already exceeds 8 points!

This is practically a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Keep in mind that he is already a Tier 2 Level 7 Sequence Awakener, whose strength is among the top in the entire team, and his normal danger level is only slightly over 20,000.

The opponent was more than four times stronger than him!

If the opponent truly enters combat mode, just how terrifying will the danger level become?!

Zhou Xun swallowed hard, his whole body trembling slightly, after just a moment's thought.

Who exactly is this person? They couldn't possibly have just arrived in this world! Could they be another protector of the City of Hope?

Zhou Xun checked several times, and the number above Zheng Sheng's head was correct, which clearly represented the opponent's true strength!

"Tianqi, get ready, we're going to meet them."

As Zhou Xun spoke, he took a deep breath to calm his chaotic emotions.

"This person's arrival is just in time. If we can form an alliance with him, we might be able to hold out until the captain wakes up."

"Then there will be hope of escaping this forest!"

As Zhou Xun spoke, he no longer concealed his presence and led a group of people to jump down from the tree, walking openly towards Zheng Sheng and the others.

The commotion in the woods quickly caught Zheng Sheng's attention. Xiao Heizi beside him slowly stood up, his massive body looking at Zhou Xun and the others who were walking slowly towards them.

"Humans?" Zheng Sheng sat on the ground, showing no surprise whatsoever. Instead, he scrutinized Zhou Xun's person with a critical look.

The people who just arrived must be from the Divine Tree Cult. Who are they this time? Is it the Ember Squad? Or that old sheep grandpa from Beast City?

"I am Zhou Xun, the vice-captain of the Ember Squad. May I ask your name, Captain?"
