Chapter 58

When the tree fell, Si Chengyan quickly pulled Su Ran into his arms and rolled back nimbly.

Bang!

There was a loud bang.

The branches of the sacred tree slammed down heavily on the ground. Its branches were thick and strong, and the movement of the slam was so powerful. But strangely, even so, the branches did not seem to be damaged at all.

It's like a complete monster, and the branches are just its limbs and a way for it to attack.

Under the dense fog, it watched Su Ran and Si Chengyan, its branches swaying, gathering strength for another attack after a few seconds. Meanwhile, Su Ran was protected in Si Chengyan's arms, dazed and helpless, but he could only cling to his sleeve with his leaves.

Then, two gunshots were heard.

Si Chengyan fired a shot.

He leaned sideways, holding Su Ran with one hand, supported the gun barrel with the other hand, and immediately fired.

Bang bang bang!

Several consecutive sounds.

The sacred tree was knocked back several steps, and staggered back several steps, until finally, it fell heavily to the ground, becoming a lifeless old tree.

Su Ran quietly poked her flower bud out from the colonel's sleeve and looked at everything in front of her.

He had been staying by Si Chengyan's side for a long time, but every time the other party fired a gun, he would be stunned for a few seconds.

——Because it is so accurate.

Despite the thick fog, the bullets were always able to accurately penetrate its branches and immediately find its fatal point.

Si Chengyan stood up: "Is this the tree?"

Su Ran responded.

"This is the sacred tree in the Deep Tree Area. It can protect the Rose Clan and help them grow up well." Su Ran said, and then whispered, "But..."

Before he finished speaking, Si Chengyan said, "Distortion index 70."

Su Ran: "So..."

"Highly distorted objects are likely contaminated by fog." Si Chengyan said, "We need to provide information to the support institute."

As he said this, he turned off the Poke on his wrist and took out a small knife from his waist. Just as he was about to cut off some branches, a faint red and purple light appeared in front of his eyes.

It had a glow a bit similar to that of the Blood Dropper, and a bit like a nutrient bead, as well as the bead given to him by the elder, which made Su Ran stunned.

When I came back to my senses, I saw a sudden burst of intense red light in front of me!

In just half a second, the entire scene was turned upside down.

This sacred tree revived with life, its branches twisted, and when they were not paying attention, it waved the branches that had grown instantly -

Su Ran exclaimed.

He pulled Si Chengyan's sleeve, and before he could remind him, he rolled several times again until he hit the cliff on one side and finally stopped.

Su Ran rubbed the roots that attacked him and slowly stood up.

When his sight returned, he saw Si Chengyan leaning to the side, frowning and looking at his arm.

But it was only a few seconds. The moment Su Ran looked at him, he lost consciousness.

Su Ran: “!”

This is bad!!

He quickly snapped over and shook the colonel several times with the blade: "What's wrong with you?"

But there was still no response.

No matter how Su Ran called out, his face was pale and he seemed to be frowning and enduring something.

It seems I can only find a place to hide temporarily.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Su Ran took action immediately.

Fortunately, the fog was thicker at this time, which undoubtedly provided them with buffer time. So before the sacred tree caught up, Su Ran dragged the colonel away.

In the mist, he continued to walk along the trail of roses.

Since his rose partner was in this direction, it meant that there might be a temporary place to stay there.

In the end, Su Ran dragged the colonel into a cliff cave.

He couldn't bear the weight of a human, so he could only gather his strength, stretch out the small leaves, and drag the colonel's collar and sleeves little by little, shaking it to the left and pulling it to the right to drag it to the flat surface.

The fog around them was thick at this time. Su Ran couldn't think of what to do. He could only rely on his feeling and drag the colonel to a place that seemed to be a shelter.

——Here, the upper and lower floors are open to each other, like a platypus's mouth, providing a relatively safe place.

"Come on, come on, we'll be there soon...soon!" He whispered to himself to encourage himself while dragging on with a grunt. He didn't know how long it took until they were completely under shelter.

Su Ran hurriedly undressed Si Chengyan.

According to what he said just now, he didn't think it was particularly aggressive. After all, he had woken up a little rose. But... why didn't the colonel wake up?

Thinking of this, Su Ran unbuttoned the other person's clothes.

But after just one glance, he was stunned.

Starting from the arm, the black mark extended all the way and spread directly to the chest.

Su Ran stood there in a daze.

He subconsciously wanted to wipe it off with his blade, but the black mist stained the tip of his blade and circled around it several times.

“Oh no!”

And at the moment of the attack, Su Ran fell down with a thud.

The moment he came back to his senses, a faint white light immediately appeared on the leaf. He looked forward along the light and saw that it was his healing power that protected him in times of danger.

Su Ran stared at the leaf for a few seconds.

Then, he suddenly straightened his roots.

Yes, doesn’t he still have the power of healing?

While there is still a little bit of weak strength, then quickly -

As soon as this thought came to mind, Su Ran stretched out his leaves and covered Si Chengyan's body as before. He whispered "Please" and gathered the white light again.

But this time, the white light still did not appear normally.

It was very faint, like the faint light of a firefly. Seeing this, Su Ran concentrated his attention again, but in the end, all that was left to him was a completely subtle white light.

In just a few seconds, it disappeared from view and vanished from the tip of Su Ran's leaf.

Su Ran stretched out her leaves, looked at them repeatedly, and finally whispered, "How... could this happen?"

He didn't know the reason, and despite his efforts, the white light never appeared again.

Su Ran was really exhausted.

There was no other way, he could only wet some leaves from the water source nearby, and then imitated humans, taking out bandages and gauze, and carefully bandaging Si Chengyan bit by bit.

But the black fog still encroaches.

Somehow, it seemed that ordinary means could not prevent such wounds from becoming infected.

Su Ran thought for a while, and suddenly thought of something——

Could it be that the colonel's wound was contaminated?

Su Ran carefully observed the wound again and saw that there were indeed black blood beads on the shadow of the wound. He became anxious and tried hard to use the healing power again.

But no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't use it, and even the faint light disappeared.

In the end, Su Ran picked the distorted herbs that had previously had therapeutic effects and covered the wound with them, finally stopping the spread of the pollution.

But this effect only lasts for a short while.

It simply won't work.

Su Ran thought about this and the little flower bud drooped.

He didn't know what to do.

The thoughts that had been in Su Ran's mind before gradually expanded and eventually occupied his entire mind.

He no longer even has the power to heal... Does that mean he has no right to stay with the Colonel?

The author has something to say:

Silly boy, how is that possible?
