Thick smoke enveloped them. Ze Wu wiped the sweat from his face, blinked, and felt his eyes stinging and uncomfortable.

Time passed slowly, and Yu Wanwan felt so hot that she even felt her petals shrinking and her leaves being licked by the flames.

Suddenly, a drop of water landed on her flower stamen. Yu Wanwan looked up and realized that Ze Wu was already in tears.

She tugged at Zewu's sleeve and called out to him worriedly, "Zewu..."

Zewu shook his head, forcefully wiped away his tears, and gave a smile that was almost miserable and bitter: "This cigarette... this cigarette is so uncomfortable."

Yu Wanwan knew he didn't want her to see her vulnerability, so she could only force a smile and agree, "Yeah, my eyes also hurt from the sting."

She lifted the leaf and wiped her eyes.

Perhaps because she was now a plant, the thick smoke had no effect on her, and she couldn't shed any tears.

After searching for quite some time, Zewu had already searched almost half of the tribes.

He slumped helplessly to the ground, staring at everything before him: "Wanwan, do you think the clan leader might..."

Could it have already been suppressed and then burned to ashes?

He couldn't find any other explanation for why the clan leader was nowhere to be found.

Ze Wu looked bewildered, like a child abandoned on the street who couldn't find his way home. Yu Wanwan felt very sorry for him.

She climbed out of Zewu's arms and gently patted his arm to comfort him: "Zewu, don't worry, there are still places we haven't searched yet, right? We'll keep looking, we'll definitely find them!"

Yu Wanwan knew that Ze Wu's parents had passed away early, and the clan chief had always taken care of him. In Ze Wu's heart, the clan chief was like another father to him, and he would not be able to accept it if the clan chief died.

Yu Wanwan's comforting words had little effect, as Ze Wu remained filled with negative emotions: "The only place left is where the beastmen live. How could the chieftain possibly be there?"

"Don't give up, we..." Before Yu Wanwan could finish speaking, a huge piece of fireball fragment suddenly rushed towards them. Ze Wu's eyes sharpened, and he quickly picked up Yu Wanwan and rolled to the side as fast as he could, thus avoiding being crushed to death.

Yu Wanwan rolled out of his arms, panting heavily.

She was just a hair's breadth away from dying in her memories.

She patted her petals and saw that Zewu's face was pale and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. She quickly ran over: "Zewu, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

Zewu gritted his teeth and turned himself over.

Yu Wanwan then noticed a large wound on his thigh, and looking at the spot where he had just been lying, there was a smoldering fire.

Yu Wanwan realized that his leg was burned.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"How could he be alright!" Yu Wanwan tried to help him up, but she was too small and couldn't lift Ze Wu up no matter how hard she tried.

"Zewu, can you stand up? We need to leave quickly, it's too dangerous here!"

Zewu closed his eyes, enduring the pain in his legs, and said to Yu Wanwan, "Wanwan, help me, help me find the clan leader, and make sure nothing happens to him."

Even at this moment, he hadn't forgotten about this matter, and he himself was in danger!

"I'll take you back first. It's too dangerous here. Let's hide!"

In short, we need to send Zewu back first, and the clan leader will come out to help find her later!

She wanted to help Zewu, but he refused, stubbornly holding onto her leaf: "No, I just want the clan leader to be alright. You go find him for me, and I'll find some clansmen to come and get you."

"How are you going to go back like this!" Yu Wanwan said anxiously.

He's in such a state that he can't even stand up.

"I can do it, please, please help me find the clan leader!" Ze Wu looked down at Yu Wanwan, his eyes full of pleading.

Faced with such a stubborn gaze, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go find the clan leader for you. You should go back now!"

"Okay, you go first!"

She wanted Zewu to go back first, but Zewu refused, insisting that she continue the search first.

Having no other choice, Yu Wanwan covered her head with leaves and headed towards the place where the beastmen lived, a place she had never searched before.

Although she was unaffected by the thick smoke, she was too small to even step over the deep craters created by fireball fragments, and had to take a detour.

She ran across the ravaged land, calling out to the chieftain, hoping he was hiding somewhere and would come out after hearing her voice, so they could hide together in a safer cave.

Although she wanted to find the chieftain, she didn't really have any hope of finding him in the orcs' territory.

But even in this hopeless search, she actually saw the clan leader.

Chief Qiu Chen lay unconscious on the ground, a large tree pressing down on him, flames burning and almost reaching his body.

Yu Wanwan rushed over and called him anxiously over and over again, but he didn't respond at all, and no matter how she pushed him, it was no use.

Yu Wanwan looked around and ran in one direction.

That's also where the plant people cultivate spirit flowers. If you're lucky, you might be able to find a bucket filled with water.

Yu Wanwan ran over and accidentally tripped and fell, almost twisting her leaf. She endured the pain and got up from the ground. Sure enough, she found the bucket left behind by the plant people there, with ashes floating on the water inside.

She didn't care whether the water was clean or not; she dragged the bucket with difficulty toward Chief Qiu Chen.
