"Ning Yu—!!" Mu Xue's heart-wrenching screams echoed through the sky, but she was powerless and could only watch helplessly as Ning Yu made such a crazy move.
Everyone felt as if their hearts were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and their breathing was almost stopped.
No one knows why Ning Yu did this. With the plant's energy on the verge of spiraling out of control, his actions were tantamount to courting death.
The black figure seemed to be stunned by Ning Yu's sudden action. It froze in place, a hint of doubt flashing in its single crimson eye.
But in an instant, a strong sense of crisis surged into its heart. It instinctively wanted to retreat, to hide, but it was too late.
The moment Ning Yu plunged his hand into the tree trunk, the previously raging plant energy seemed to find an outlet, surging into the giant tree all at once.
The next second, the giant tree withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, its thick trunk rapidly shriveling, as if all its vitality had been instantly drained.
At the same time, Ning Yu raised his other hand high, and in his palm, a bright green sphere of light was rapidly condensing. The sphere grew brighter and brighter, becoming more and more dazzling, like a miniature sun illuminating this dim world.
"Go to hell!"
Ning Yu used his last bit of strength to let out a roar and hurled the ball of light in his hand at the black figure.
The ball of light, trailing a long tail of flame, resembled a streak of emerald lightning, tearing through the sky with devastating force as it hurtled toward the black figure's single eye.
The black figure tried to dodge, but it was too late.
"boom--!!"
A deafening explosion rang out as the ball of light struck the black figure's single eye, unleashing a blinding burst of green light.
The shockwave swept outwards, snapping the surrounding trees in half, uprooting a thick layer of soil, and making the whole world seem to tremble violently.
"roar--!!"
The black figure let out a painful roar as its single eye was struck, and crimson blood gushed out.
The intense pain drove it mad; it wildly swung its massive claws, smashing them fiercely towards Ning Yu.
At this moment, Ning Yu was extremely weak from the forceful attack and had no power to dodge.
"Boss—!!"
"No--!!"
Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and everyone's hearts were in their throats. Just as the enormous black claw was about to fall, a petite figure rushed forward with astonishing speed.
"don't want--!!"
With a dull thud, Mu Xue's slender body was flung away like a kite with a broken string, and a mouthful of blood sprayed into the air, staining the white snow red.
"Minor Snow!"
"Vice Captain!"
The team members exclaimed in alarm and launched a desperate attack, raining down multicolored lights on the black figure in an attempt to stop it from harming Ning Yu further.
The black figure roared in pain, the crimson light in its single eye growing even more ferocious. It swung its massive claws, deflecting all approaching attacks. Some team members who couldn't dodge in time were sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, their fates unknown.
"Ning Yu! Get up! Don't think you can get away by playing dead!" Mu Xue struggled to get up from the ground, not bothering to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, and staggered to Ning Yu's side, desperately shaking his unconscious body.
His face was as pale as paper, his breath was weak, and a shocking black claw mark was clearly imprinted on his chest, indicating that he was seriously injured.
"What time is it? Stop pretending to be asleep! If you don't get up, I'll..." Mu Xue's voice choked, her eyes filled with tears, but she held them back, "I'll... I'll smash your favorite limited edition game helmet!"
However, Ning Yu remained unresponsive, as if he had truly fallen into a deep sleep and would never wake up again.
"Roar—!!" The black figure roared deafeningly. Although its eye was injured, it remained incredibly powerful and invincible. It turned its massive head, its single crimson eye scanning the group of humans before it, who looked like ants, preparing to launch an even more ferocious attack.
"Ning Yu... wake up!" Mu Xue was frantic. She stretched out a trembling finger, checking Ning Yu's breath... The black figure, filled with rage, stared intently at the tiny humans before it with its single eye. Its massive body crouched slightly, like a cheetah poised to pounce, ready to tear them to shreds. The team members, all wounded, gripped their weapons tightly, using their last ounce of strength to prepare for this final battle.
Mu Xue's heart skipped a beat. This green light was clearly a sign that Ning Yu was manipulating plant energy! Could it be...?
Before she could think it through, Ning Yu's body suddenly trembled violently. The shocking black claw mark on his chest was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Bright red muscle tissue grew rapidly, and broken bones were pieced back together. In just a moment, the wound, which had been deep enough to expose the bone, had completely disappeared.
"What... what's going on?" The team members were dumbfounded; none of them had ever seen such a bizarre healing ability.
Mu Xue was filled with doubt and surprise. She knew Ning Yu's abilities; manipulating plant energy for attack or simple defense was already at its limit. But now, this near-regenerative ability had completely exceeded the scope of plant energy, and even... violated the laws of nature!
"Ning Yu, wake up! Wake up!" Mu Xue shook Ning Yu's body vigorously, but found that his body temperature was frighteningly high, as if a ball of fire was burning in her hand. His brows were furrowed, and his face was filled with pain, as if he was experiencing terrible torture.
