"System, speak up! Have I awakened a stat-boosting sequence?"

Zheng Sheng kept repeating the prayer in his mind, but unfortunately he didn't receive any reply.

"I always thought I was a man with a stat allocation system, but how come my stat allocation system can actually advance!"

"The skill point system version 2.0, isn't that equivalent to advancing to the second-tier sequence!"

Zheng Sheng found it more and more reasonable, and what shocked him even more was that he had only done something out of a good feeling and performed a ritual to help the wronged dead, and he had actually gained a new amount of wish power.

"Wish Power Points, how do you use these? There's no explanation."

Zheng Sheng studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to use the Wish Power Points. It seems that this thing can't be used at the moment.

"Does it mean that it can only be used after enabling version 2.0 of the skill point allocation sequence?"

Zheng Sheng had no choice but to give up and study it slowly later.

After carefully storing the flower branch relics he had obtained, Zheng Sheng left the sea of ​​corpses and found Zhou Xun and the others. He had originally planned to burn down this dead land, but since it was surrounded by dense forest, he had to give up in the end.

"Zhou Xun, what do you think would happen if I burned this forest down?" Zheng Sheng suddenly had a bold idea.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun and Yu Huo's team felt a pang of anxiety and quickly tried to stop them.

"Captain Zheng, please don't do that."

"This forest may look safe, but it's actually extremely dangerous. Some great monsters are just dormant inside. If we disturb them now, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Zhou Xun continued.

"Leaving aside the sacred tree of the Divine Tree Cult, just that black mushroom in the mushroom forest has a danger level exceeding 300 million. If we awaken it, we'll all die!"

"Besides, the monsters aren't afraid of ordinary flames at all. If we burn down this forest and still can't get out, won't we just burn ourselves to death?"

After listening to Zhou Xun's words, Zheng Sheng shook his head and abandoned the idea of ​​burning the forest.

"What exactly is this 'danger level' you were talking about?" Zheng Sheng suddenly asked.

Zhou Xun hesitated for a moment, and the image of Zheng Sheng performing a ritual to help the souls of the dead on the sea of ​​corpses quickly flashed through his mind. In the end, he gritted his teeth and told Zheng Sheng about the forbidden artifact.

"Captain Zheng, our captain obtained a forbidden artifact by chance: number 1603, the [Eye of Peeping]."

"By wearing these glasses, you can see a line of numbers above everyone's head. The size of the numbers represents the level of danger and can also be used to roughly judge the strength of friend or foe."

Zheng Sheng looked at the tattered glasses in Zhou Xun's hand with a surprised expression.

It was an ordinary pair of round-framed glasses, which looked like someone had stepped on it. One lens was completely shattered, and the other was cracked as well. There was also blood all over the eye socket.

"This is actually a forbidden artifact, and with such a unique ability—it can even detect the level of danger?"

"What is the price for using this forbidden artifact?" Zheng Sheng asked.

Zhou Xun replied, "There are two kinds of costs to using it. One is to make a contract with the glasses and directly sacrifice one of your five senses to gain permanent access."

"The other method is temporary use, but with each use, vision will decrease by one point and cannot be restored until complete blindness occurs."

"I had to sacrifice my sense of taste to be able to use it."

Zheng Sheng nodded. The price wasn't too severe; it was a rather good forbidden artifact.

Seeing Zheng Sheng's interested expression, Zhou Xun hesitated for a moment, seemingly making a decision in his mind, and then handed the Eye of Peeping to Zheng Sheng.

"Captain Zheng, this forbidden artifact belongs to the capable."

"We don't have much use for this thing, so let's give it to Captain Zheng as a token of our sincerity in cooperating with the captain."

Zheng Sheng was taken aback. He did want the Eye of Peeping, but he didn't expect Zhou Xun to be so decisive, giving away this forbidden artifact so readily.

While these glasses don't directly increase combat power, they are even more important in the bizarre apocalypse, allowing the team to avoid powerful and unpredictable threats in advance.

It's definitely not as useless as the other party said.

Zheng Sheng looked intently into Zhou Xun's eyes, clearly sensing that Zhou Xun had ulterior motives.

"Captain Zhou, you can't do that! This is the only forbidden artifact in the team. We're halfway to surviving this long!"

"Captain Zhou, these are the captain's things. The captain hasn't woken up yet. Should we wait until he wakes up before making a decision?"

The members of the Yu Huo Squad kept trying to persuade Zhou Xun, clearly indicating that they did not want to hand over this forbidden artifact to Zheng Sheng.

However, Zhou Xun insisted.

"Captain Zheng, I'm giving you this forbidden artifact on only one condition."

"I want to bring the Ember Squad and join your team!"

After Zhou Xun finished speaking, the Yu Huo team fell silent instantly, clearly not expecting him to do this.

"Join my team?" Zheng Sheng hesitated. Under normal circumstances, he would never agree to a group of strangers suddenly joining him.

However, looking at the spying eye that Zhou Xun handed over, he couldn't refuse; this thing was a good thing!

After a moment's hesitation, Zheng Sheng made a decision.

"I can have your team follow me and join the main force behind me. If any of you perform well after a period of time, I wouldn't mind absorbing you into my team."

"But not now, at least!"

"The only thing I can guarantee is that I will not abandon you when I leave this forest."

After listening to Zheng Sheng's promise, especially the last sentence, Zhou Xun slowly nodded.

"Thank you, Captain Zheng. Please accept this forbidden artifact."

The forest is becoming increasingly dangerous, and the captain has been assimilated by the strange entity. It is almost impossible for their Ember Squad to escape on their own.

He did this simply to find a way out for the entire Ember Squad.

Although forbidden artifacts are precious, they are meaningless if one cannot leave this forest alive.

After completing the transaction, the two quickly turned and left, re-entering the forest to head towards the next eerie coordinate.

……

……

at this time.

In the center of the Dark Forest, stands the Divine Tree.

The enormous divine tree, towering hundreds of meters high, blotted out the sun and emitted a faint glow. Its massive canopy, like a dark cloud, covered an area of ​​several kilometers in radius.

At the center of the canopy of the sacred tree.

On the tree canopy grew hundreds of large, fleshy red fruits, over a meter tall, which beat like hearts and were covered with numerous veins and blood vessels.

Sudden.

One of the fruits in the very center fell, and a naked figure slowly emerged from it, holding a bronze bell in her hand. It was Xiyue.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Soon, a large number of fleshy fruits fell continuously, and those Divine Tree Cult believers who had been killed by Zheng Sheng were all resurrected, and their auras were not diminished at all!

"So your name is Zheng Sheng!"

"Excellent! Excellent!!! Hahaha!" tide Yue, holding the bronze bell, laughed louder and louder. "It's been so long since anyone could send me back to the Divine Tree. This time, finally, an interesting person has come!"

"Zheng Sheng..."
