The vines continued their frenzied attack, almost overwhelming the barrier.
In the midst of the struggle, Shen Tang accidentally got her arm cut, and the wound quickly rotted, turning bluish-black.
Xue Yinzhou’s gaze instantly became icily cold, and black energy began to surge uncontrollably around him, forming countless venomous snakes from the Black Fog, which spread in all directions, wrapping around the thick roots and devouring them entirely.
Furthermore, those black snakes burrowed underground, gnawing at the roots of the vines.
The air seemed to carry multiple silent wails.
The strange vines nearby were cleared away in the blink of an eye by the Devouring Power.
Shen Tang was taken aback, quickly grabbing his hand, "Don’t recklessly use too much power; it will accelerate the Tumor Gu’s consumption of your Life Force."
Xue Yinzhou turned to her, his black aura now subdued, his gaze transitioning from icy to tender, tinged with heartache.
He gently stroked the wound on her arm, and with his power softly wiped away the toxin seeping into her flesh, "I’m fine, you should heal your wound first."
Only then did Shen Tang notice the wound on her arm, but she possessed Healing Ability capable of reviving even the dead, so this little poison wound was nothing, and she quickly healed it.
"Don’t worry, don’t forget, I have Healing Ability; this minor injury is nothing."
Even in such a dangerous situation, her smile remained bright and radiant, her tone gentle yet firm, "Let’s keep moving, I promise to lead you to the Mother Tree."
In Xue Yinzhou’s eyes was her radiant feminine smile, making his heart soften unbearably and unable to suppress the tenderness within, he gently drew her into his arms.
His long fingers softly brushed her cheek, his voice hoarse, "Thank you, Tangtang, for doing so much for me."
She didn’t have to do so much, nor take such risks, putting herself in danger.
He didn’t know how to thank her, nor how to express the surging emotions in his heart.
Shen Tang chuckled softly, "Silly, I’m your companion, it’s only natural to do these things! As long as you get better, I’m happy, it’s all worth it."
Xue Yinzhou’s throat moved, unable to speak.
He only felt an aching heart, reluctant to let her take so many risks for him, yet he had no choice.
In truth, he didn’t care so much about life and death, and finding the Mother Tree wasn’t that important to him.
Ultimately, whether he obtained the thing or not, it was no longer important.
Receiving such devotion from a loved one, he had no regrets in life.
