However, the sounds of pain around her gradually diminished. Through hopeful eyes, Mo Shuwan vaguely saw the surrounding situation and painstakingly pieced together the current circumstances in her mind.

Just now, at the critical moment, the stratosphere hatched and teleported them out the instant the continent shattered. They were indeed saved, but unfortunately, they were surrounded by dense dark power, and their bodies were being corroded to varying degrees. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before everyone turned into skeletons.

The stratosphere awoke and used all its power for teleportation, but has now fallen asleep again. At this moment, the only thing that can move freely is hope.

"Wake them up."

Hope ran over to Mo Shuwan again, chirping in everyone's ears. If they couldn't be woken up, it would scratch them with its paws. After more than ten minutes, everyone was woken up one after another, but after realizing their condition, they fell into despair again.

No one knew the terror of the dark forces better than them; they had fallen into this place, and it was all over.

At this moment, the cloth wrapped around Chen Jiaxu's head had come off, and his two black horns occasionally gleamed in the darkness. He sat up, stared at Mo Shuwan with his scarlet eyes for a moment, and then silently turned to look at Wen Zuo, who had also just woken up beside him.

After carefully looking at each of his teammates, a strange smile appeared on his face. "I'm back?"

Upon noticing that Chen Jiaxu had sat up, Hope immediately jumped to his side, pawed at him, and chirped.

Chen Jiaxu looked down at Hope for a moment, then slowly got up. He walked to Mo Shuwan first, but Mo Shuwan couldn't see him at the moment. Otherwise, she would have noticed that Chen Jiaxu's eyes were very complicated. It wasn't the relief of surviving a disaster, but something else entirely.

Chen Jiaxu bent down and picked up Mo Shuwan. He seemed to be unaffected by the darkness and quickly carried her to a place where the dark power was relatively weaker.

Then he went back and brought the others over one by one, and then sat in the corner without moving.

"Damn it, I'm definitely going to die!"

Hearing Cheng Hua's weak growl, Liu Dongcheng, who was usually not very talkative, replied, "Congratulations on getting it right."

“…Damn it!” Cheng Hua cursed under his breath again.

Yun Chen, who had always liked to go against Cheng Hua, didn't react much. He tried his best to open up the barrier to resist the invasion of the dark power, but he failed. There was no spiritual energy here, and the spiritual energy stored in his body was like a mouse seeing a cat, obediently curled up in his body and dared not fluctuate in the slightest.

"Cough cough..."

All they could hear were screams of agony. The stratosphere had brought them all here. Luckily, everyone survived, but unfortunately, without intervention, they would die one by one.

Wen Zuo coughed twice, feeling a fire burning intensely inside his body, yet he didn't feel any discomfort. In fact, he noticed that the discomfort was gradually disappearing. He didn't make any sudden movements but waited quietly. Finally, he found that he had regained his mobility, and the dark forces seemed to hate him, automatically avoiding him whenever they were only a fist's distance away.

Upon realizing this, Wen Zuo was taken aback. He looked down at his hands, his eyes flickered, and he quickly reached out and grabbed Mo Shuwan's hand beside him.

The difference was immediately apparent when the two hands were placed together: Mo Shuwan's hand had been corroded by dark power, while Wen Zuo's hand remained unharmed.

Wen Zuo gently squeezed Mo Shuwan's fingers with heartache, then tentatively guided the ball of flame in her body to her palm, and then released it. When she saw the corroded area on the back of Mo Shuwan's hand slowly recovering, Wen Zuo almost cried.

it works!

The others were too busy taking care of themselves to pay attention to anyone else, so they didn't see Wen Zuo healing Mo Shuwan's corroded wounds. Only Chen Jiaxu turned his head to look, then silently stood up and sat down next to the two of them. Since the light was almost nonexistent here, Chen Jiaxu's presence made it impossible for the others to see Wen Zuo's little actions.

Hope squatted down next to Mo Shuwan and saw the wound on the back of Mo Shuwan's hand slowly disappearing, and happily shouted.

Wen Zuo's joy did not last long, because the flame in his body was rapidly disappearing. At this moment, Wen Zuo knew very well that if the flame disappeared, he would lose this ability.

He suddenly stopped.

Chen Jiaxu's low voice rang out at the opportune moment, "Try the crystal."

Upon hearing this, Wen Zuo did not hesitate and immediately took out a crystal. This was something they had obtained back in the Dark World, and the dark power wrapped around it was nothing compared to what was here.

Holding the crystal, Wen Zuo had no idea what to do with it. In the end, he could only follow his instincts and try to peel off the dark power on it. Unexpectedly, the dark power that was peeled off went straight into his body. He subconsciously wanted to get rid of the crystal, but the next moment he found that the dark power that had entered his body was absorbed by the flames.

After discovering this fact, Wen Zuo no longer resisted the dark power entering his body. As time passed, the flame that had almost been extinguished reignited.

Knowing that his ability was resource-intensive, Wen Zuo didn't dare to waste it. After feeling around and treating Mo Shuwan's more serious injuries, he carefully helped her lie down and then turned to check on his other teammates.

Cheng Hua, who thought he was going to die, was lamenting that he hadn't even had a proper meal before he died when he saw Wen Zuo, who was completely unharmed, walk up to him. He glared at him and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Hey, this isn't fair! I'm so powerful and I almost died, how come you're perfectly fine!"

Suddenly I don't want to treat this guy anymore...

Wen Zuo squatted down and discovered that Cheng Hua's neck was corroded, and further in was his trachea. He probably wouldn't last more than ten minutes. No wonder his throat seemed to be leaking air when he spoke earlier.

Wen Zuo dared not be careless and quickly covered it with his hand.

"What are you doing... Holy crap!"

Cheng Hua stared at Wen Zuo in shock, and after a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "I don't have to die!"

The situation of the others was probably not optimistic either. Wen Zuo dared not delay. He took out all the crystals he had stored and absorbed the dark power on them. He busied himself treating their wounds while making sure that none of them were in any danger. Only after confirming that they were all safe did he look at Zheng Shanhe and the others who had been placed aside.

To be honest, Wen Zuo hesitated. His ability required the replenishment of dark power and spiritual energy, but there was no spiritual energy here, and the dark power was actively avoiding him. Only crystals could allow him to absorb power, but the crystals were running low. If he saved others, what would he do when Shu Wan and the others needed him?

For a moment, Wen Zuo was caught in a dilemma.
