Wang Lan looked at Sun Muchen in surprise. He suddenly felt that Sun Muchen was also exceptionally skilled in using the Vajra Umbrella, and his every move was even somewhat elegant and bold.

The brother and sister fought endlessly among the tree roots, but there were simply too many roots to kill them all. The ground was now covered with saplings left behind after the tree roots exploded. If it weren't for the roots constantly yelling and rushing around, these new saplings would actually look quite vibrant.

Although the two had maintained the upper hand, they gradually showed signs of fatigue. Wang Lan was no longer using arrows to shoot, as the number of explosive arrows was severely insufficient. However, the longbow was sturdy and of moderate length, making it a handy weapon.

"Damn it! If only I had a gun right now!"

Sun Muchen said this because her arms were sore from swinging them so much.

Wang Lan was also feeling extremely distressed. He had originally planned to fight his way out, but who knew that there were so many tree roots that every time he cleared a path, it would be immediately filled by the rest of the tree roots.

As they fought back and forth, the area in which the two were located was continuously shrunk.

"Damn it!"

Wang Lan cursed loudly and drew out an explosive arrow, which he then fired.

As the arrows exploded ahead, igniting the tree roots one after another, briefly revealing a clearing with only lush green saplings, Wang Lan quickly threw the quiver to Sun Muchen and said, "Give me the Vajra Umbrella, put the quiver on your back, and jump onto my back!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Muchen turned around, caught the quiver, threw the Vajra Umbrella to Wang Lan, and then jumped onto Wang Lan's back.

Wang Lan turned around, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Ghost step!"

The moment the skill name was uttered, Wang Lan felt his body suddenly lighten, as if a gentle breeze was accompanying him all over.

He's preparing to break through!

"Hold on tight!"

The words fell silent.

Wang Lan stomped hard on the ground, creating a crater, and sped forward.

The Vajra Umbrella cleared the way ahead, constantly slapping the tree roots to both sides, causing explosions and bursts of dazzling flames. Under the constant scorching heat, Wang Lan and Sun Muchen's foreheads were soon covered with sweat.

However, the dash effect brought by the Ghost Step skill is also very powerful. Wang Lan dashed to a place dozens of meters away in just a moment, creating distance between himself and the tree roots behind him.

But the tree roots in front of them were still as numerous as hairs on a cow.

At this moment, Sun Muchen lightly bit her pearly teeth with her red lips, and changed from wrapping her arms around Wang Lan's neck with both hands to one hand, while raising the other hand, blue light spontaneously emerged from between her fingers.

Wang Lan saw a blue light flash in his peripheral vision, which instantly became incredibly bright. Then, the blue light seemed to transform into a shockwave, shooting forward with lightning speed.

Upon landing on the ground, the light wave immediately shattered and spread out, instantly transforming into two light curtains that pushed the tree roots to the sides.

Wang Lan felt Sun Muchen on his body suddenly become much heavier. He turned his head to look, and although he couldn't see Sun Muchen's face completely, he could still see some of it. Sun Muchen's face was even paler than before.

“Mu…”

"I'm fine!"

Wang Lan had barely opened her mouth when Sun Muchen interrupted her, saying weakly, "I'm fine, quick, get out of here!"

Wang Lan felt reluctant, but with danger looming ahead, he had no other choice.

So Wang Lan suddenly flicked her tongue, and as her tongue shattered, the speed of her "ghost steps" suddenly increased.

In an instant, it broke free from the encirclement of tree roots.

However, when Wang Lan's foot landed on a patch of lush green saplings...

The saplings moved without wind, suddenly becoming restless, and spread out from under Wang Lan's feet, wrapping around them.

Wang Lan's movement was hindered, but his body was still moving forward. Due to inertia, he immediately fell forward.

The brother and sister fell to the ground and rolled a long way away.

Wang Lan quickly got up. He first looked at Sun Muchen, only to find that Sun Muchen was just a little stunned by the sudden change, but had no injuries. Then he turned to look at the sapling.

At this moment, the saplings twisted and turned, swaying back and forth like little snakes, and with each sway, they seemed to grow.

The brother and sister stared at it for a while.

Suddenly, they discovered that the saplings had not grown into big trees, but instead had turned into vines with tender green leaves. Moreover, the growth rate was extremely fast, and in no time, the vines had grown to a length of seven or eight meters.

The tree roots began to throb even faster, but instead of rushing towards the brother and sister, they leaped into the vines, and the next moment, the tree roots exploded.

A series of deafening roars echoed continuously.

The flames quickly spread.

This scene left the brother and sister dumbfounded. They obviously didn't know what the tree root was doing, but they watched as the flames from the explosion grew larger and larger, not only rising higher and higher, but also spreading outwards with a fierce momentum.

The brother and sister immediately helped each other up, and before Wang Lan's "ghost step" skill ended, Wang Lan picked up Sun Muchen and rushed away.

With the tree roots no longer blocking his way and no longer needing to fight while running, Wang Lan's speed was incredibly fast. He ran along the riverbank and covered hundreds of meters in just a few seconds.

However, just when Wang Lan thought he was safe for the time being, Sun Muchen suddenly gasped and kept patting Wang Lan's shoulder, saying, "Brother, brother, quick, run!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Lan's heart tightened, and he was about to turn around when a whooshing sound suddenly rang out behind him.
