Burying her head in his arms, the familiar and kind breath made Nan Muran's sadness burst out uncontrollably. Tears kept falling, but she restrained herself from crying out loud.
Jiawu felt uncomfortable looking at Nan Muran's appearance. He sighed, patted He Yifeng, who was standing beside him and looking at Nan Muran in a daze, and signaled him to step back with Xiaolong.
Soon, Nan Muran and Si Ye were the only ones left under the ancient tree.
"Xuan Wu is silent, and the tree man is in a bad condition." After knowing that everyone had gone far away, Nan Muran's crying voice reached Si Ye's ears.
Si Ye hugged her tighter, feeling distressed: "Don't be afraid, they are still there, aren't they?"
Hearing his words, Nan Muran nodded sadly. This might be the only thing to be thankful for now.
"Si Ye, I'm so worried and scared."
"I know. Don't be afraid, I'm with you, and we'll work together to find a way to make them both recover." Si Ye reached out and patted her back, as she was almost out of breath from crying. He felt so aching in his heart that even breathing was painful.
Nan Muran raised her head in his arms and said in a low voice: "I feel so bad."
"They are very important to you, how can you not feel sad?" Si Ye reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and helped her tidy up her messy hair.
He was equally shocked when the tree man risked his life to protect everyone. Seeing it break into pieces, he felt like he had lost a comrade who had shared life and death with him, not to mention Nan Muran, who was even closer to it.
Nan Muran pursed her lips and said nothing, but she didn't cry anymore either.
Si Ye looked at her now, and his heart softened. This was the first time he saw a completely different Nan Muran since they met. She was a little soft and fragile, more like a girl who needed protection and comfort, rather than a peak strong man who was always strong, calm and restrained.
"Let's go down the mountain?" Si Ye stretched out his hand and pulled Nan Muran towards Jia Wu and the others who were waiting not far away.
Although everyone was worried about the tree man's condition and the mysterious mist that Nan Muran kept calling, they all tacitly did not ask any more questions because of Nan Muran's grief.
Their journey down the mountain was smooth. Because the black substance had been driven away, the plants on Devil May Cry Mountain, which had recovered their lives, were excited.
Until the Ma Teng that came along mentioned the tree man.
Xiao Liu: Don’t mention the tree man, Ranran will be sad.
Since the tree man got into trouble, Xiao Liu has been very worried. But he didn't want to see Ran Ran sad again, so he could only remind the other plants in a cold voice.
Xiaobai nodded obediently: Yes.
Akaba: The tree people will be fine.
Ma Teng: What happened to the tree man?
Xiao Liu spoke again to stop them: "You two idiots, stop talking. Hemp vines, flowers, grass, trees, grow well, we are going home."
Nan Muran listened to Xiao Liu's words, reached out and touched her left wrist, and a willow branch instantly stretched out and gently brushed the back of her hand: Ranran, don't be sad, the tree man will be fine, and Xuan Wu will be fine too.
"I know, thank you Xiao Liu." Nan Muran stretched out her finger and tapped the willow branch.
Si Ye, who was standing by, looked at the trembling branches of Xiao Liu and reached out to touch it. Xiao Liu also responded to him actively.
After the group successfully reached the foot of Devil Cry Mountain and were about to cross the Devil Sigh River, Si Ye, Jia Wu, He Yifeng and their group stopped. The soldiers' alertness made them feel the enemies gathering on the other side of the river.
"There are quite a lot of people lying in ambush around." He Yifeng's tone was a little cold.
Seeing Nan Muran crying just now, he felt sad. Although he was silent all the way, he was still angry. These people just came up to him, they deserved a beating.
Si Ye nodded: "Six or seven people form a team, there are ten teams in total."
Nan Muran also mobilized her mental power to investigate: "The ambushes are very scattered, and there are not many high-level psychics among them."
High-level psychics refer to those above level 5. Obviously, although there are many people on the other side, there are only three of them. For Nan Muran and the others now, dealing with such a group of people is not too casual.
"Oh, there are acquaintances." Qinglong's vision became stronger, so when he glanced over, he saw a few acquaintances.
"The Si family of three is here too." Jiawu said with a cold tone as he took out the telescope.
Because of the actions of Hei Yao and his men, Ran Ran and Si Ye almost lost their lives. He was thinking about revenge, but these guys came to his door. They were really tactful.
Nan Muran also wanted to go over and kill everyone to vent her anger, but she tried to control the madness in her heart: "Keep your life, but forget about the supernatural power."
"Are these people all members of Obsidian?" Squirrel looked at a familiar girl in the crowd, his tone revealing disbelief.
Nan Muran directly released his spiritual power to explore the thoughts of several low-level psychics in succession: "They are peripheral members of Hei Yao. In their eyes, Hei Yao is the salvation of the end times."
"Brainwashed?" Qinglong frowned as he looked at many of the young people.
"It should be." Xiaobai looked at them with some regret as they had awakened their special powers. He wanted to kill them but felt it was a pity.
He Yifeng looked at those people and felt very depressed: "In their eyes, a mole-like existence like Hei Yao can actually subvert the official base and save the world. It's really ridiculous."
"Once Hei Yao is worshipped as a god, these people will be useless." Si Ye's voice was cold, without a trace of mercy.
Jiawu sneered: "Then you are welcome. Let's just deal with the leaders directly."
"I agree. It just so happens that I haven't practiced for a while." Si Ye took out the dagger that he had kept at his waist.
Old Eagle, Azure Dragon, Squirrel, Third Prince, and Sea also took out their bayonets without hesitation. It was obvious that they intended to hunt down those people on the other side of the river.
Nan Muran naturally would not object: "Be careful and don't expose yourself. Xiaobai and the others will cooperate with you in the front."
The moment Si Ye and the others left, Xiao Liu, Xiao Bai and Chi Ye fell from Nan Muran's wrist to the ground. Three beams of light went directly to the location of the group of people.
The five Xiaolongs who had been fighting in the jungle for many years, together with Si Ye, Jia Wu and Lao Ying, the eight of them tried to lie on the ground as much as possible, and approached several ambushing Obsidian teams at the edge in a fast and stealthy manner.
Xiao Liu and Chi Ye were in the front, responsible for cooperating with Xiao Bai to release substances to destroy the liquid crystal cores of those people.
Si Ye and his team were responsible for knocking out the members of the ambush team one by one, and the captain of the team directly cut his neck. Before the end of the world, they had been fighting on the front line for many years, cooperating with each other tacitly, and their speed of attack was extremely fast.
