Chapter 4

These peaches have scorpion legs and a wide, fanged mouth, which is quite terrifying. However, the saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths exudes a sweet aroma, making one want to lick it.

【Ugly as they are, but they can be eaten!】

Is this an issue of ugliness?

Lin Baci hadn’t decided what to do yet. The peach monsters paused for a moment, then scurried forward with small steps, charging towards Cui Feng.

“Damn, what’s the meaning of this?”

Cui Feng wailed, feeling extremely unlucky.

Phew!

Lin Baci let out a sigh of relief, only to realize that Jin Yingzhen was holding onto his jersey with one hand.

“Why don’t you run?”

At such close range, the peach monsters might start gnawing on Jin Yingzhen as well.

“Run together!”

Jin Yingzhen had planned to call Lin Baci to escape together, as they couldn’t just sit and wait to die. However, the peach monsters paused in front of him and then scurried away.

“Oppa, you’re really lucky!”

Jin Yingzhen became even more determined to stay with Lin Baci.

This oppa is handsome, calm, and a bit lucky. Following him, they might really escape this divine ruin.

“We’ll die here if we can’t come up with a plan!”

Lin Baci was worried.

Running wouldn’t work. The speed at which the peach monsters chased the double-eyelid lady was incredibly fast, like a mad dog.

“Eat me!”

“Eat me!”

The peach monsters surrounded Cui Feng, baring their fangs and screaming.

“Damn!”

Cui Feng pulled out a machete from his waist with his left hand and held a torch in his right hand. He forcefully dragged it on the ground, and it lit up with a hiss.

The torch was actually lit.

In the dim peach orchard, the light from the torch illuminated Cui Feng’s face, which was filled with panic.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

The peach monsters, seemingly afraid of the torch, screamed and hurriedly retreated.

“It works!”

Cui Feng was overjoyed.

The others instantly perked up.

They could live!

“That torch is a divine taboo object!”

Jin Yingzhen was envious.

An ordinary torch wouldn’t light up just by dragging it on the ground.

“Isn’t this kind of thing dangerous?”

Lin Baci was puzzled.

“Generally, divine taboo objects can only be used after being sealed in a black coffin. Although their power is weakened, they are safe!”

Jin Yingzhen explained in a low voice: “Of course, some divine taboo objects are less dangerous and can be used directly.”

Lin Baci suddenly understood why these people were following Cui Feng; it was because of the torch.

“Damn, this guy is really lucky!”

Jin Yingzhen glared at Cui Feng, gritting her teeth.

So angry.

The peach monsters hesitated for a few seconds, then decisively abandoned Cui Feng and scurried towards the lady in the cheongsam.

“Bro Cui! Bro Cui! Save me!”

The lady in the cheongsam hurriedly ran towards Cui Feng.

“Damn, don’t come over!”

Cui Feng, fearing an accident, quickly stopped her, but she didn’t listen.

Fortunately, the peach monsters chased her for a while and then stopped, clearly wary of the torch, which put Cui Feng at ease.

Seeing this, everyone quickly ran towards Cui Feng for protection.

Jin Yingzhen also wanted to go over, but when she saw Lin Baci not moving, she retracted her foot.

“Bro Cui!”

The lady in the cheongsam looked at Cui Feng flatteringly: “I’ll give you money, 100,000.”

Cui Feng’s eyes lit up, and he demanded: “1,000,000!”

“This...”

The lady in the cheongsam hesitated.

“What? Is your life not worth 1,000,000?”

Cui Feng kicked the lady in the cheongsam’s thigh: “Then get lost!”

“I’ll pay! I’ll pay!”

The lady in the cheongsam smiled apologetically.

“Ha!”

Cui Feng was delighted.

He sized up the lady in the cheongsam and noticed that except for her small belly, the rest of her body wasn’t fat. The cheongsam and black stockings made her quite alluring.

“Here, hold the machete for me!”

Cui Feng, feeling the torch was enough, handed the machete to the lady in the cheongsam. As she took it, he pinched her butt.

The lady in the cheongsam dared not speak up.

“Xiao Cui, since this torch can scare away these monsters, let’s quickly leave here!”

Si Ma Mu urged.

“No rush!”

Cui Feng glanced around at the people around him: “1,000,000 each, and I’ll take you out!”

No one expected Cui Feng to ask for money at this moment, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

“I... I don’t have that much money!”

Ma Xia looked at Cui Feng pitifully: “Can I pay you after I graduate and get a job?”

This young girl had above-average looks, wearing a light blue dress, looking like a pure and innocent neighbor’s little sister, but her voice revealed that she had an abortion and severe gynecological issues.

“Don’t be afraid!”

Wang Kun, seeing his girlfriend humbly begging, felt a knife in his heart and quickly promised: “I will protect you!”

“Shut up, did I ask you to speak?”

Cui Feng kicked Wang Kun in the abdomen, making him stagger back.

Wang Kun was very angry and wanted to fight back, but Si Ma Mu stopped him.

Cui Feng had originally wanted to say, “If you don’t have money, you can be my girlfriend,” but when he saw Jin Yingzhen standing nearby, he suddenly found the girl in the dress uninteresting.

She’s prettier.

Damn,

A woman like this, I never even dared to dream about.

“Hey, do you want to go with us?”

Cui Feng tried to chat her up.

Jin Yingzhen could sense Cui Feng’s ill intentions. With the high emotional intelligence she had developed from growing up with her mother, she could play this young man like a dog, but...

I refuse!

Jin Yingzhen held onto Lin Baci’s arm, not even sparing Cui Feng a glance.

“Damn! This is your choice! Don’t regret it!”

Cui Feng was furious: “Let’s go!”

“Right! Right! Hurry up and go!”

The lady in the cheongsam was terrified and clung tightly to Cui Feng.

“You won’t regret it?”

Lin Baci was surprised, not expecting Jin Yingzhen to choose him.

“No choice, I’m a face-obsessed person, so I choose you. By the way, I haven’t had any plastic surgery!”

This was Jin Yingzhen’s proudest achievement.

Since elementary school, she had often been stopped by talent scouts while shopping, and if her mother hadn’t forbidden it, she would have entered the entertainment industry long ago.

The peach monsters, seeing Cui Feng and the others about to leave, immediately became agitated, but they didn’t dare to approach due to their fear of the torch.

“Ha, we’re safe!”

Cui Feng was very pleased, turning to look at Lin Baci and Jin Yingzhen: “You two stay here and wait to die!”

“Bro Cui, don’t waste time with them, let’s hurry and escape!”

The lady in the cheongsam, standing beside Cui Feng, kept begging.

“Are you telling me what to do?”

Cui Feng glared at the lady in the cheongsam. Suddenly, he had a strange impulse and, as if possessed, thrust the torch into her chest.

Boom!

The lady in the cheongsam, like a gasoline-soaked scarecrow, instantly ignited, burning into a human torch.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene.

“Ah!”

The lady in the cheongsam screamed in pain, her body visibly turning into charcoal. Within ten seconds, she fell to the ground, turning into ashes and dying completely.

“Cui Feng, what... what did you do?”

The old lady with the sun hat was both shocked and angry.

“I... I don’t know!”

Cui Feng was sweating profusely, his mind in a daze. Why did I set the lady in the cheongsam on fire?

But burning things feels so good!

Cui Feng thought, extending the torch towards the lady on the right with the gold bracelet.

This lady dodged, but was still touched by the flame, and she ignited like a lighter.

Whoosh!

Everyone was terrified and hurriedly retreated.

“Are you crazy?”

The old lady with the sun hat questioned.

“He’s not crazy, it’s the influence of the torch’s rules!”

Si Ma Mu was frustrated and bleeding from his mouth.

Why couldn’t it wait until we escaped the peach orchard before taking effect?

Now everything is ruined!

“I...”

Cui Feng wanted to explain, “I didn’t mean to,” but a strong impulse suddenly arose in his mind: If I set myself on fire, it would definitely feel even better.

This thought scared Cui Feng, and he wanted to throw the torch away, but his right hand gripped it even tighter.

“Si Ma Mu, help me!”

Cui Feng shouted, placing the torch on his hair.

Boom!

Cui Feng caught fire.

Seeing this, everyone’s hair stood on end.

In an instant, Cui Feng burned to ashes, and the torch fell to the ground, extinguishing.

“Wang Kun, go pick up the torch and lead everyone out!”

Si Ma Mu urged.

“Why don’t you go?”

Wang Kun was indignant, thinking, Am I stupid?

Without the torch’s deterrent, the peach monsters scurried over.

Dozens of them quickly reached Ma Xia.

“Eat me!”

“Eat me!”

Ma Xia trembled, tightly gripping Wang Kun’s clothes: “I don’t want to die!”

Wang Kun, looking at his beloved goddess, gritted his teeth,

I’ll do it!

“Xiao Xiao, I’ll pick up the torch and protect you as we run out!”

Wang Kun ran towards the torch, picked it up, and, imitating Cui Feng, forcefully dragged it on the ground.

Whoosh!

The torch ignited.

The peach monsters immediately scurried back, not wanting to be burned.

“Be careful.”

Ma Xia shouted, not daring to get too close to Wang Kun, fearing she would be burned.

Wang Kun ran for about ten meters, then suddenly set his shirt on fire with the torch.

Boom!

He burned like a candle.

“Wang Kun!”

Ma Xia was desperate, thinking, You’re dead, what do I do?

Just hold on a bit longer!

She actually didn’t like Wang Kun, but his father was the vice-principal of the school, and Ma Xia had agreed to his confession to stay at the school after graduation.

Within three minutes, four people were dead, leaving Lin Baci numb.

Divine taboo objects are really terrifying!

“Good death!”

Jin Yingzhen, seeing Cui Feng’s demise, wanted to clap, at least this annoying guy died in front of her.

“Eat me!”

“Eat me!”

Ma Xia, not daring to eat the peach monsters, suddenly ran towards the moon gate, but didn’t get far before the peach monsters caught up and started tearing at her.

Her screams were heart-wrenching.

This college girl rolled on the ground in pain.

“How do I avoid being burned to death when using this torch?”

Lin Baci was ready to take a risk.

There was no time to hesitate; the next one might be him.

“I don’t know!”

Jin Yingzhen, seeing Lin Baci’s intention, quickly warned: “Don’t be reckless, you’ll die!”

Lin Baci ignored her and focused on the torch.

【Pine wood torch, when burning, emits a pine scent. It can ignite anything and burn it to ashes in a short time.】

【Everyone who sees this torch wants to play with it, and as they play, they will have the impulse to burn others or themselves!】

【But you don’t need to be afraid, just pick it up and use it to cook, it will easily create a wok aroma, making it a good kitchen tool!】

The mysterious voice echoed three times in Lin Baci’s mind.

“I don’t need to be afraid? What does that mean?”

Lin Baci asked: “I won’t be influenced?”

The voice didn’t answer, but Lin Baci guessed that was the meaning.

Jin Yingzhen had mentioned that the divine ruin had divine corpse radiation, causing dizziness, nausea, and vomiting, but he hadn’t experienced any of these symptoms.

After eating Ma Xia, the peach monsters went to rest, and another batch emerged, approaching the old lady with the sun hat.

“Ha, these monsters even know how to queue for food!”

The old lady mocked herself.

Lin Baci didn’t want to wait any longer, what if something else happened?

“Follow me closely!”

Lin Baci said, quickly running towards the torch.

“Don’t!”

Jin Yingzhen was anxious.

Lin Baci picked up the torch, using all his strength to drag it on the gravel path.

Whoosh!

The torch lit up, the light dispelling the mist, like the dawn spreading.

“Follow me!”

Lin Baci ran out, waving the torch.

The flickering firelight, trailing a tail of flames, resembled a dragon racing through the peach orchard, scattering the peach monsters!
