Chapter 29

Pant! Pant!

Qin Peng was covered in the blood of the Terrans, the scent of the blood masking his own, which temporarily prevented the Reika beasts from tracking him. However, the deeper he went, the more Terrans he encountered. Fortunately, Qin Peng's biocomputer was advanced enough to have radar capabilities, allowing him to scan the surrounding terrain.

Hmm!

Qin Peng saw a corpse on the ground. It was a human corpse. He turned the body over and recognized the person—it was Zhang Wei, a student from Class One and a member of the Student Council. Qin Peng remembered that Zhang Wei was present when Wang Yang had caused him trouble.

"I didn't expect you to die too!" Qin Peng couldn't help but exhale softly as he looked at Zhang Wei's body. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze paused on an object on the ground.

It was a cylindrical object, black and engraved with intricate patterns.

"This is... a lightsaber!" Qin Peng immediately felt excited as he picked up the cylinder, examining it closely to confirm it was indeed a lightsaber.

The development of human technology had not only led to the widespread use of long-range weapons but also to various close-combat weapons, one of which was the lightsaber. It was a simple hilt but contained an astonishing amount of energy. It was a laser weapon with an extremely powerful cutting force. A human with a combat strength of less than 100 would have no chance of blocking a lightsaber attack.

"Please enter the password!" Just as Qin Peng was about to use it, a message suddenly came from the lightsaber.

"Password?" Qin Peng was slightly taken aback but then smiled. "No wonder the Terrans didn't take it. This thing is completely useless to them. Even if they had the lightsaber, it would just be a toy for them!"

With that thought, Qin Peng laughed and said, "Password, biocomputer, crack it immediately!"

Drip!

Immediately, a series of computational messages began to flow into Qin Peng's mind. He was increasingly impressed by the capabilities of his biocomputer, which had so many functions.

After about three minutes, a beep sounded in his mind.

"Password cracked, please reset the password!"

Qin Peng immediately reset the password. Then, with a hiss, a bright blue beam of light shot out from the hilt. The lightsaber was about 1.5 meters long and emitted a sizzling sound. With a thought, Qin Peng made the lightsaber extend to its maximum length of three meters.

Whoosh!

Qin Peng immediately retracted the lightsaber and smiled. "With this lightsaber, I have a bit more security in the Guli Mountains!"

As he spoke, Qin Peng stripped Zhang Wei of his clothes. His body type was very similar to Zhang Wei's, and after running naked for so long, Qin Peng still felt very uncomfortable. After all, as a human, he needed clothing to cover himself, except in certain situations.

Just as he finished dressing, his ears twitched, and he heard some voices. They were Terrans.

Swish!

Qin Peng immediately climbed up the nearest tree, adjusting his breathing to be as minimal as possible, even holding his breath for several minutes. After an unknown amount of time, the terrain in front of him suddenly opened up.

What is that?

Qin Peng, lying on a tree branch, focused his attention on what he saw. It was a massive altar, with a large stone coffin in the center. The coffin was engraved with strange runes, and beneath it were large rocks also engraved with strange runes.

This thing!

Qin Peng muttered to himself and gave the order, "Biocomputer, analyze the meaning of these runes!"

However, this time, Qin Peng was disappointed. The biocomputer did not analyze the runes but instead coldly displayed four words.

Insufficient permissions!

Is it that everything involving runes requires insufficient permissions?

Qin Peng narrowed his eyes, wanting to quietly leave the altar. This place was undoubtedly very important to the Terrans, and staying here increased his risk of being discovered. Just as he was about to leave, a message suddenly came from his biocomputer.

Qin Peng forcibly suppressed his movements, lying on the top of the tree, making his breathing even more subtle.

It was a very tall Terran, with a robust body covered in thick scales. Unlike ordinary Terrans, he had a large sword on his back. The data in Qin Peng's eyes kept changing.

This Terran's combat strength was 26.

"What an astonishing combat strength!"

Qin Peng was inwardly shocked and made his breathing even slower. At the same time, his biocomputer detected that a large number of Terrans were converging on this place.

Not good!

The only thing Qin Peng could do was to try to remain hidden and not be discovered. However, he was also very clear that the probability of being discovered was still very high.

Before long, a group of Terrans appeared around the altar.

"Lord Tegla, the humans have been brought over, and the ceremony can begin!" Qin Peng's pupils constricted slightly as he saw the Terran with a combat strength of 8 appear before the powerful Terran with a combat strength of 26.

Tegla nodded and slowly said, "Begin the ceremony!"

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. The Terrans no longer hesitated, grabbing the humans and brutally decapitating them, then throwing their bodies onto the altar.

Immediately, the altar was stained red with blood. However, as the blood flowed, the altar emitted a strange blood glow, and the runes on it seemed to come to life, writhing and devouring the blood. The large stone coffin also began to tremble violently.

"Is this the reason the Terrans are attacking us?" Qin Peng narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't know what was happening, he was certain that the Terrans had a purpose for attacking humans. Otherwise, they wouldn't take such a risk.

One by one, students were brought up and killed. Each death caused the large stone coffin to emit a bit of light.

Qin Peng gritted his teeth. Although he hated the Terrans, he didn't dare to act rashly. A combat strength of 26 could easily kill him, and even with a lightsaber, he wouldn't stand a chance. If a fight broke out, his lightsaber wouldn't even touch the enemy before he was killed.

Qin Peng never wanted to be a hero. Heroes were the domain of the strong. If he acted now, he would be courting death. Now, his top priority was to stay alive.

"Lord Tegla, the elders of the clan have asked you to come over!" At this moment, a Terran approached Tegla and politely said.

Tegla's face showed a hint of coldness. "What, do those old men still have something to say? I have already attacked the humans; do they still want to compromise?"

"Lord Tegla, the elders do not mean that. Why don't you go and see for yourself?" The Terran respectfully looked at Tegla.

Humph!

Tegla let out a cold snort and slowly said, "Continue the killing. Use the blood of these humans to sacrifice to our ancestors. Once the ancestors are resurrected, the humans are nothing!"

As he spoke, Tegla leaped and left.

Seeing Tegla leave, Qin Peng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The pressure this guy had brought was immense, making Qin Peng feel suffocated. Now that he was gone, Qin Peng felt much more relaxed.

His gaze returned to the students, and his pupils suddenly constricted. He saw Su Shiyue being brought up.

Su Shiyue was captured?

Qin Peng was stunned, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Save her or not?

If it were anyone else, Qin Peng wouldn't care about their fate, but Su Shiyue had done him a favor.

It wasn't that Qin Peng had fallen in love with Su Shiyue, but it was his principle in dealing with people.

Repay kindness with kindness, repay enmity with enmity!

This was Qin Peng's creed. Looking at Su Shiyue, he took a deep breath, and his biocomputer immediately began scanning, with countless pieces of information flowing through his mind.

Combat strength, the strongest is 10!

"A combat strength of 10, I should be able to keep up with their movements. With the lightsaber, I should be able to kill them!" Qin Peng gritted his teeth, thinking about the possibility of rescuing her. If Tegla were here, he wouldn't act, as he would repay kindness but not foolishly risk his life. However, with Tegla gone and no strong enemies around, he could try.

Thinking about it, Qin Peng narrowed his eyes as he watched Su Shiyue being brought to the altar.

His hand rested on the hilt of the lightsaber.

Su Shiyue was brought to the altar, and an executioner raised his long knife. Despair appeared on Su Shiyue's face.

"I didn't expect to die in such a place!" Su Shiyue thought bitterly, the daughter of the strongest Terran, a title that offered her no protection now.

Swish!

The knife fell, and Su Shiyue closed her eyes, but the expected pain did not come. Instead, she heard a crack, and then she felt a powerful force lifting her, quickly carrying her away from the altar.

Instinctively looking up, she saw the executioner's knife broken and the executioner's head separated from his body.
