"good."

Wen Zuo left quickly with hope. After he left, Chen Jiaxu, who had been sitting in the corner, stood up, walked to Mo Shuwan's side, sat down, and began to stare blankly at his toes.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, more than an hour had gone by. Except for Chen Jiaxu, who was unaffected, everyone else was on the verge of death again. Someone laughed and said, "That kid isn't coming back."

Chenghua, panting heavily, retorted, "You're talking nonsense!"

"Hehe, he's unaffected. So many of us have become a burden to him. It's a wise move for him to leave."

"You're right, you're a burden. It'll be better if you die."

Yun Chen's cold words silenced the group who had been laughing just moments before. If they could, they would certainly want to live, in case that guy really came back.

As the thought crossed their minds, they all frowned slightly, somewhat regretting bringing up the topic.

Only Mo Shuwan could vaguely see what Wen Zuo was doing. For more than an hour, her heart was in her throat. Although she couldn't see clearly, she knew that Wen Zuo had been fighting and had suffered serious injuries. Fortunately, he was in a special condition now, and those injuries healed quickly on their own.

Only when I vaguely saw Wen Zuo returning with hope did my anxious heart finally calm down.

Wen Zuo was worried that his companions might have an accident if he was away for too long, so he and Xiwang hurriedly brought back some crystals and rushed back without stopping. When he returned and saw that his companions were all safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The people who had just said Wen Zuo wouldn't be coming back fell silent after seeing him. They were trying to avoid attracting Wen Zuo's attention, since his companion's words hadn't been very friendly.

Wen Zuo absorbed the spiritual energy from the crystal and the dark power surrounding it, and the flames within his body grew slightly stronger. With so many people needing healing, the crystals he brought back were simply a drop in the ocean, and given his current situation and abilities, he simply couldn't bring back too many crystals.

"You can absorb dark power too?"

Wen Zuo nodded, "Okay, but they all avoid me, I can't touch them."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shuwan remained silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Wen Zuo's arm, "Help me up."

When Wen Zuo saw the silver bow in Mo Shuwan's hand, his expression changed instantly, and he immediately grabbed her hand, "No, we have no more medicine to restore life!"

"Isn't there you I still have?"

As she spoke, Mo Shuwan tried to pull her hand away, but she was too weak to do so. Even though Wen Zuo hadn't used any force, she couldn't pull her hand back. She could only helplessly persuade him, "I'll give you the power of darkness, and then you can heal me. It's the same thing."

Wen Zuo's face darkened. "I can only heal your injuries!"

Mo Shuwan wanted to speak again, but Wen Zuo had already given up. "I won't agree. Don't say anything more."

"grumble--"

Mo Shuwan was helpless. Among all the people here, only she had the ability to actively gather dark power. If she didn't step forward now, Wen Zuo wouldn't be able to take care of so many people.

Fortunately, Zheng Shanhe's voice rang in my ears just in time, "I have it."

A few minutes later, Wen Zuo, his face dark, returned to Mo Shuwan's side with the medicinal herbs that Zheng Shanhe had handed over.

Mo Shuwan smiled and said, "Thank you."

Zheng Shanhe didn't give her many medicinal herbs, but it was enough for her to use several times. With Mo Shuwan gathering dark power to provide to Wen Zuo, Wen Zuo's speed in healing those corrosive wounds also increased. A dozen minutes later, everyone who was on the verge of death was brought back to life.

"Take these crystals. This is all I have. I hope you won't mind."

Seeing what Wang Jiajia took out, the others also took out crystals from their own storage spaces. The quantities were not large, as the crystals covered in dark power were not very useful to them, so they did not keep too many.

But the crystals that everyone contributed were just a drop in the ocean.

Zheng Shanhe said, "We need to find a way to get the dark power into Wen Zuo's hands, or find more crystals."

For them, letting Wen Zuo directly come into contact with the dark power was the easiest solution. However, the problem was that, apart from Mo Shuwan, they could only passively come into contact with the dark power and could not actively touch it. Mo Shuwan's active gathering of dark power would consume her life force, and they did not have any more medicinal herbs to restore her life force.

“There are some medicinal herbs hidden in the burial ground. I can try to find them, but after I leave, you will likely be attacked by invaders from outside the region.”
