"Xiaobai! Dig out Xiao Mingcheng's crystal and feed it to your mother." Mu Zhaozhao gritted his teeth.

While her healing talent was quite useful for healing external injuries, it had already been tested and found to be ineffective against toxins and illnesses. Even if she ingested the crystals, it wouldn't necessarily cure snake venom.

Although she was not sure whether the crystals could detoxify, the huge energy contained in the crystals could at least make Bai Yingying's physical fitness stronger and resist snake venom.

But she was so weak and needed to use her talent, so she couldn't dig the crystals out of the snake's corpse.

She also knew how cruel this was to Xiaobai, but in order to save Bai Yingying's life, she no longer cared.

Xiaobai looked at Mu Zhaozhao in disbelief, her eyes filled with fear. She was asked to crack open her biological father's skull and extract the crystal with her own hands?

But she immediately understood that this was to save her mother!

——She...can do it!

Xiaobai controlled the snake's tail and stretched it forward, with the tip of its tail trembling and hanging above the snake's head.

Just poke the tip of the tail into the skull, find the crystal and roll it out... and you're done...

"Ahhh——" Xiaobai closed his eyes and screamed to give himself courage.

'call--'

Just then.

A sudden gust of wind blew by.

Xiao Bai's tail was blown away instantly. She steadied herself and looked over in horror, only to find that Xiao Mingcheng's head had been cracked open. A large, bony hand precisely pulled out the crystal and stuffed it into Bai Yingying's mouth.

Done in one go.

Extremely fast.

The crystal fell into Bai Yingying's mouth, and her face turned from blue to white at an extremely fast speed.

Mu Zhaozhao and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaobai looked at Bai Yingying, whose complexion had improved, and was stunned for a moment before looking up.

Seeing some familiar faces, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Woo-woo-woo-you are finally here..."

Xiaobai's crying was earth-shaking, venting the fear and panic in his heart.

Chi Yao jumped out of the bamboo basket, and put her tail close to Xiaobai to comfort her: "Sister Xiaobai is fine. The fathers are here, and they will definitely be able to save mother."

They lost their way at sea, but no one gave up or became discouraged. Following the direction Chi Yao had sensed before, they repeatedly expanded their search area.

Finally saw this unique and huge island.

The island was too large, and they were slowly searching from above. It was only just now that Chi Yao sensed Mu Zhaozhao's location again and landed accurately.

Just looking at the current scene, you can tell that what they had anticipated has unfortunately happened.

They were still a little late...

Nong Jing immediately cut his wrist, moved close to Bai Yingying's mouth, and light golden liquid quickly dripped into Bai Yingying's mouth.

He has the gift of immortality. Although he doesn't know whether his blood will have any effect on Bai Yingying, he still wants to give it a try.

Xiang Rao and Luo Chen supported Bai Yingying on both sides and observed her expression.

Chi Zhen kicked the snake corpse to make room for the weak Mu Zhaozhao so that she could concentrate on using her talent.

None of them looked at the snake corpse again, but just stared at Bai Yingying quietly, not daring to make any rash moves. Although they appeared to be barely calm, everyone's heart was gripped with fear.

They are afraid of losing Bai Yingying...

Everyone prayed in their hearts, hoping that Bai Yingying could survive, even if it meant sacrificing their own lives...

....

Bai Yingying vaguely heard Xiaobai's call, but the next moment, she felt that her body was about to reach the critical point of death, so she hid in the different space again.

She saw the horrible appearance of her body, the fear in Xiaobai's eyes, and the sadness on Mu Zhaozhao's face.

She wondered, if her body died again, could she ever come back to life?

Come to think of it, it shouldn't be possible. The snake venom remains in her body. If the venom is not removed, even if she comes back to life, she will still die.

How long can she exist in this strange space?

After everything in front of my eyes became blurry, several faces that I hadn't seen for a long time appeared.

Then a pure and huge energy surged into her body, and even she, who was in another space, could feel it.

The energy instantly refilled and expanded her energy pool.

It even filled up her entire spiritual sea, and the excess energy began to flow to every corner of her body.

She seemed to be able to clearly see the pure power and golden light spots fighting against the black threads.

They wrapped the black threads and pushed them along the blood vessels. At the same time, after they pushed through, a milky white light ball repaired her damaged blood vessel cells.

After an unknown amount of time, all the black threads were finally forced out of the body and flowed out through the bloody hole in Bai Yingying's chest.

Black blood flowed out and gradually turned red.

Bai Yingying opened her eyes, glanced at everyone in front of her one by one, and smiled: "We can go home now."

In the end, Bai Yingying won this game.

The only thing Xiao Mingcheng overlooked was the difference between him and Bai Yingying.

He was always alone.

But Bai Yingying has many friends around her.

Although it is usually not obvious, and even becomes a hindrance to her existence because of her weakness...

But at critical moments, they can also be her support.

This is 'love', the love that ties each other together.

Love that goes both ways.

But Xiao Mingcheng will never understand.

September 11, 2023—May 7, 2024

Thank you all for your continued support. We'll be updating the extra chapters as promised. There will be the long-awaited extra chapters about the tribe's daily lives, the children's daily lives, and the supporting characters. (You can @ me in the comments of this chapter and wish for the extra chapters you'd like to see. I'll do my best to satisfy everyone.)

I'd also like to apologize to everyone who's been following me. My updates have been erratic since the Lunar New Year, primarily due to my own poor condition. This is my third book, and I've written nearly 3 million words. I haven't had much time to rest, and while this book's performance has been decent, the pressure has been quite intense. I've been running low on inspiration, and my health has been a problem, so the lack of updates has impacted the experience of everyone who's been following me. I'm truly sorry. I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to everyone.

(I know that the fans who are following the series are most afraid of me apologizing, because that means I have to take another day off... but I still have to apologize, haha. PS: Don't worry, I will finish the extra chapters as soon as possible, without taking any day off~)
