I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

“Be careful, there is a freak next to us.”

As Lin Yao’s voice was heard, more than half of the group immediately turned their gazes in the direction he was looking at.

However, the gray fog had become thicker and denser as the night had darkened. Thus, the fog was several times denser now than when Lin Yao had first come in, and many people could no longer see clearly.

Although they had special torchlights in their hands, the light beams were seemingly devoured as soon as they hit the gray fog and they could only illuminate areas within a 10-meter radius.

In the end, Squad Leader Zhang was the first to speak.

“Can you point out the specific location? We’re going to use a high-power ultraviolet lamp.”

“Sure.”

As Lin Yao closed his eyes and carefully observed his surroundings, he felt like he was sinking into the abyss both physically and mentally. He could perceive the entire mysterious land repelling him and also exuding malice toward him.

This kind of malice was confusing Lin Yao’s sense of perception. Fortunately, the malice coming from this source was intense and very obvious amid the entire malicious world. Therefore, Lin Yao could clearly sense the location of that freak and point in its direction.

As Lin Yao raised his finger, a cannon-like, high-power ultraviolet lamp was instantly pulled out and turned to the maximum, aiming in the direction Lin Yao was pointing at.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

Sounds that resembled burning pieces of paper were heard. Illuminated by the high-power ultraviolet lamp, the gray fog melted as quickly as snow melting under the sunlight in spring. Lin Yao and everyone else’s vision also returned to normal.

As the light shone forward, a weird figure holding a toy gun with numerous balloons tied behind him soon appeared in front of Lin Yao and everyone else.

“This freak looks like a balloon-shooting vendor!” Lin Yao exclaimed upon seeing the freak.

However, the expressions of Squad Leader Zhang from the military, Captain Li from the night guard, and the policewoman changed drastically. Their faces were filled with hatred, as if they had seen the person who had murdered their father.

“The Ghost Bullet! It is the Ghost Bullet! Kill it! We must kill it!”

“He must be killed this time at all costs.”

“Charge, everyone. Charge!”

Upon seeing the freak in front of them, everyone present rushed forward like mad with red eyes. This scene frightened Lin Yao, as he had thought that everyone was only slightly affected.

However, he soon found out that he had made a mistake.

Everyone was indeed affected, but it was by hatred and not charm. It seemed that this was not the first time everyone had encountered this monster.

“What is this?” Lin Yao asked the policewoman loudly as he moved along with the crowd.

Bearing in mind the words of Colonel Zhang and Captain Li, she had resisted charging ahead and was trying her best to protect Lin Yao.

“The Ghost Bullet has killed the biggest number of people in the periphery of the amusement park. He is the most terrifying freak. About 20 of our brothers have died at his hands. We have to kill this beast no matter what!”

‘About 20!’

This number frightened Lin Yao. The majority of the armed personnel were fully equipped, advanced martial artists. It was difficult for Lin Yao to imagine how this monster could kill that many armed soldiers.

He could clearly sense that the three leaders—Squad Leader Zhang, Captain Li, and the policewoman next to him—were all warlords.

‘Three warlords are leading the group and dozens of advanced martial artists have congregated, yet that monster managed to kill more than 20-odd armed soldiers?’

As Lin Yao felt puzzled, everyone had already begun fighting.

Captain Li and Squad Leader Zhang charged forward at the forefront. The two warlords unleashed their vital-energy sea cyclone and used a special body technique to advance at lightning speed with an astounding aura. However, the sharp-eyed Lin Yao discovered that the two were swaying violently as they rushed forward as if they were guarding against something.

The two warlord-level team leaders were charging forward rapidly, but the firearms were faster. Most of the armed personnel raised the guns in their hands and fired the moment they saw the weirdo, producing a hail of bullets.

The hail of bullets reached the weirdo almost instantaneously from a short distance of 200 meters. However, a moment later, these bullets passed through the weirdo as soon as his disheveled head shone slightly.

“Damn it! It is immune to physical attacks again!”

The scene in front of Lin Yao infuriated everyone. Nevertheless, they immediately dropped their guns and continued to charge forward without the slightest delay as soon as they berated the weirdo. Lin Yao then found out that these fighters had long grown accustomed to physical weapons that could not function there.

‘So, it is crucial to deal with the monsters here with attacks that involve vital energy? It’s a pity that firearms are useless in this place…’

Bang!

As this thought flashed in Lin Yao’s mind, he heard a loud bang next to him. As soon as he turned around, Lin Yao saw a gun in the hands of the policewoman guarding him. The gun was shining with a silver light that was gradually dimming.

‘This is a spirit energy weapon!’

Although he hadn’t seen it before, this thought entered Lin Yao’s mind the moment he saw this weapon. At the same time, he also looked in front of him, only to discover that the weirdo with the countless balloons tied behind his back still seemed to be intact.

‘This is also useless.’

While Lin Yao sighed, he continued to hear banging sounds in his surroundings. Amid the sound of gunfire, the weirdo opposite the group moved like a ghost. Nevertheless, it was shot once. To Lin Yao’s surprise, it was not harmed by this shot. Instead, a balloon behind him exploded with a bang.

“Scoundrel!”

The policewoman was infuriated by the useless shot, but she quickly controlled her breathing, focused, and shot forward again. However, the bursting balloon had also triggered the furor of the weirdo.

“Sister, shoot a balloon… 100 yuan per shot. The first three shots are free.”

It sounded just like an ordinary vendor. The only thing that left Lin Yao speechless was that the first three shots were free. Still, the sigh in Lin Yao’s heart soon faded, and all that was left was horror and panic.

While talking, the monster raised the toy gun in his hand. Sneering at Lin Yao and the others with his big, lacerated mouth, he pulled the trigger with his finger.

The sound of a bang was heard before the bullet shot out.

Objectively speaking, the toy gun didn’t look powerful, so there was no need for anyone to dodge its bullets. However, amid the sounds of gunfire, the expressions of both the charging warlords in front and the martial artists behind changed drastically as they dodged the bullets like mad. The heavy-duty soldiers who carried shields were no exception.

“D-Dodge!”

Amid frantic shouts, everyone dodged repeatedly. However, there was too much personnel on Lin Yao’s side, and someone was shot in the end.

A heavy-duty soldier had been shot. Lin Yao heaved a sigh of relief when he first saw him get shot.

‘Even artillery shells can’t penetrate this kind of shield and protective gear…’

Just as this thought entered Lin Yao’s mind, the change in the heavy-duty soldier’s body made his eyes almost pop.

“Please take good care of my child…”

The soldier who had been shot tried to force a smile but couldn’t do so. A moment later, his face was distorted.

It was not just his face. The massive body of the heavy-duty soldier was becoming increasingly rounder and was swelling up like a balloon.

This was a serious situation. As the body swelled to its limits, the heavy-duty soldier, who now looked like a balloon, simply burst with a deafening pop. Endless blood then rained and splashed everywhere. Even Lin Yao was not spared.
