Yin Xinyue was in charge of keeping watch to prevent any sneak attacks. After the absorption was completed, everyone gathered around the fire to rest.
In the second half of the night, there was a sudden rustling sound.
Cang Yunmo transformed instantly and soared into the air. The flames illuminated the open space, and countless dead branches gathered around him as if under a spell.
Everyone was awakened at once and used their special abilities one after another.
The fire dragon and fireball burned the dead branches into ashes. More dead branches crawled over. Several soldiers were unable to dodge and were dragged away by the dead branches. Seeing this, Cang Yunmo immediately chased after them.
Yin Xinyue followed closely behind. She was thinking about how to find the nest of these things when the opportunity came.
Seeing this, the others burned the troublesome dead branches and followed.
The dead branches moved very quickly. When Yin Xinyue arrived, she saw a towering tree made up of dead branches. The tree was covered with corpses of various creatures, some of which were left with only bones.
Several soldiers were also hung on the trees, with dead branches drilling into their calf wounds and sucking their blood. Cang Yunmo released a giant flaming dragon to save the injured soldiers, and Song Yuyao immediately provided treatment.
The dead branches on the big tree began to twitch and attacked in an overwhelming manner. The thorny vines around Yin Xinyue shot out like arrows, tightly wrapped around the dead branches, and madly absorbed energy.
The gray and green colors intertwined, entangled, and twisted in the air like snakes, making other people's scalps tingle.
Yin Xinyue separated two thorny vines and drilled into the ground to search for the crystal core.
The big tree noticed her intention and wanted to pull back its branches to protect the crystal core, but Yin Xinyue would not let it succeed.
The thorny vines tightly wrapped around the tree and refused to let go. The dead tree could only abandon the branches that were entangled and break off actively. The thorny vines wrapped around the tree again, and the branches broke off again, returning to the tree at an extremely fast speed and going deep into the ground.
The thorny vines chased closely, and the two forces entangled and chased each other underground. A thorny vine took the opportunity to roll up the crystal core and stretched it out of the ground and handed it to Yin Xinyue.
The dead branches, having lost their energy supply, drooped and lay motionless.
Song Yuyao spotted Song Yuxuan among the pile of hanging creatures at a glance.
Cang Yunmo burned the branches with fire, landed steadily while holding Song Yuxuan, and retracted his flaming wings.
Song Yuyao hugged Song Yuxuan tightly, and tears flowed like a flood.
"Brother, please open your eyes and look at me, please, brother..."
Cang Yunmo gently patted Song Yuyao's shoulder, and Song Yuyao cried even harder. While shaking Song Yuxuan's body, she said, "Cousin, my brother is dead. Momo said she could find my brother. How could this happen..."
Cang Yunmo didn't say anything. He knew that it was useless to say anything now. All the consolation was so powerless. He felt equally sad.
At this moment, the withered flower in Song Yuxuan's hand fell down, and five flower seeds scattered the moment it hit the ground.
Song Yuyao stopped crying all of a sudden, let go of Song Yuxuan, picked up the seeds and started crying again.
"It's all because of this broken flower. If it weren't for it, my brother wouldn't have died."
The originally sad atmosphere now had a hint of dullness.
Yin Xinyue originally wanted to find Song Yuxuan and ask what Wanye Yuheng was, and if there were seeds, she wanted one. But when she saw the heartbroken Song Yuyao, she said nothing.
Seeing Song Yuyao crying more and more sadly, Cang Yunmo quickly comforted her: "Yaoyao, don't cry, Yuxuan is gone."
