Jiang Wan agreed to give it a try, but refused to use her own blood. She told the female leader, "I need all of you to leave here."

"Why?"

The indigenous female chieftain was clearly resistant, as if she were about to do something heinous to their sacred tree.

Jiang Wan then compromised, saying, "Then you all step back fifty meters and don't surround me."

Finally, the female leader ordered the others to retreat fifty meters. She and Enya stood next to Jiang Wan, but were blocked by Cheng Zhen ten meters away.

Jiang Wan asked them for a bucket of water, and then, when no one was looking, poured the water down the bucket, ladle by ladle.

Tree sap is useful for detoxifying and healing internal and external injuries in humans, and it also greatly helps plant growth. However, she herself is not sure whether it can bring dead plants back to life.

At this point, she has no choice but to try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

She herself felt nothing, and the withered Socotra Dragon Blood Tree in front of her also showed no reaction.

But the indigenous female chieftain behind her was very excited. She grabbed Eun-ya and said, "Smell it, doesn't it smell green?"

They all raised their heads slightly and took a deep breath of the scent in the air.

Then they both became excited: "Yes!"

"That's right! Your Majesty! This is the taste!"

"There's hope! Our sacred tree is saved!"

Jiang Wan squatted under the dragon blood tree with her back to them, and couldn't help but twitch her lips. What kind of dog nose is that? She only diluted the sap from a tree hole, and they could smell it?

They rushed up, and Jiang Wan quickened her pace, pouring the last ladle of water into the soil. This water was just enough to water around the roots of the big tree.

"Holy Maiden, the divine tree can be saved, right? Did you use some kind of miraculous elixir?"

Jiang Wan remained enigmatic: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

She herself wasn't sure if it would really work, so of course she wouldn't say anything unnecessary to them; she wasn't a talkative person to begin with.

"Can we walk around now?"

The priority is to dig up more plants to earn coins, as tomorrow is the deadline. Before then, we should earn as many coins as possible!

After all, in an oxygen-deficient post-apocalyptic world, if nothing unexpected happens, all the wild plants will die!

Even those in the forest farm need to be carefully cared for to prevent them from dying.

This time, the female leader didn't hesitate and let Enya take them around the island. Except for a few restricted areas, they could go anywhere.

It was surprisingly straightforward.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but ask En Ya, "Aren't you worried we'll run away?"

Enya lowered her head and said softly, "The Holy Maiden is joking."

Cheng Zhen gestured for her to look behind them, where the four monsters were still closely following them: "Do you know why? Because we can't escape at all."

That's true. With the Huodou following them and restricted areas around the island, once people go in, they can't get out without guidance. Because of this, they simply can't leave the island.

Jiang Wan wasn't in a hurry. She walked quickly and carefully looked around, slowly searching for plants on the island. She actually managed to dig up some special creatures, as well as several common species that also exist on land. The gold coins in the tree hole space quickly soared to 9,800 gold coins.

She couldn't help but laugh and say to Cheng Zhen, "This little world we chose was really worth it!"

Cheng Zhen was also happy. The more she harvested, the more plant-based weapons they could use in the future, which was a good thing for him as well.

At least until a military factory is found, this can greatly alleviate the pressure on his weapons and ammunition.

As the sun set and night fell, Eun-ya, suppressing her heartache, reminded them, "It's not safe on the island after dark. Please, Holy Maiden, go back and rest."

After dark, the island is pitch black, and wandering around outside won't yield any results.

The fire on Huodou's body could provide illumination, but as soon as these four divine beasts approached, the temperature around them skyrocketed, making it unbearable even for a second longer.

In this state, I might as well go back to sleep.

That evening, the meal served to Jiang Wan and his companions was incredibly lavish. Since it was an island, nine-tenths of the food was seafood, and the portions were huge. The two of them ate their fill but still couldn't finish it all.

So Jiang Wan tried a little of everything, and then put her remaining portion into the tree hole space.

After thinking for a moment, she called out to Eun-ya, "I'm not full. Is there any more of the food I just ate?"

Eun-ya was shocked. The portion given to her was already enough for two adult men to eat. How could the saintess have such a big appetite?!

Despite her inner shock, she showed no outward sign and then went to arrange the meal.

Jiang Wan only ate a little more as a formality, and after she left, she put all the food back into her spatial storage.

Cheng Zhen has a big appetite, but he only tasted the seafood and then filled himself up with rice and noodles. He asked Jiang Wan to put away the rest of the seafood.

Such fresh seafood was something the two little ones could never get to eat in the oxygen-deprived post-apocalyptic world, so they both thought of bringing it back for them to eat.

After eating and drinking their fill, they washed up and went to bed, and it was another day of sharing a bed.

Unlike yesterday's anxiety, Jiang slept relatively soundly tonight.

With the help of the tree sap, Cheng Zhen's wound healed very quickly. It had already scabbed over and was itchy, which meant that new flesh was growing.

Jiang Wan slept soundly, but Cheng Zhen felt particularly uncomfortable that night. He was itchy all over, both physically and mentally, and felt unwell all over.

Normally, just smelling her scent would calm his volatile temper, but now, while his temper was calmed, the restlessness in his heart was rising steadily.

Starting from the part of her body that was next to her, her whole body began to heat up, and even the temperature around her kept rising.

"Phew~"

Listening to her even and steady breathing, Cheng Zhen took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down and calm down again.

If he doesn't calm down, he's really going to explode!

He tossed and turned until the wee hours of the morning, and only managed to doze off for a short while as dawn approached.

The next morning, before the two of them were even awake, they were woken up by a noisy commotion.

"Holy Maiden, are you awake?"

It was Eun-ya standing outside her door, asking respectfully.

The noise outside seemed to have been suppressed.

"What is it?" Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen both sat up and looked at each other.

This world is different from the post-apocalyptic world without oxygen. Could it be that the tree sap, a miraculous medicine that could save all plants in the post-apocalyptic world without oxygen, not only has no effect here, but also has side effects?

Won't they just kill that sacred tree?

Although the tree was originally dead, the world has not yet ended. What if the natives, in a fit of anger, tied them up and sacrificed them to the heavens because the sacred tree died?

If they don't make it to the departure time, they'll really die here!

Jiang Wan forced herself to remain calm, trying to reassure herself, "Could it really be that unlucky?"

"Holy Maiden, if you are awake now, shall we go and see the Divine Tree?"
