The oozing blood did not fall to the ground, but was instantly absorbed by the branches, leaving her once beautiful face completely bloodless.
Beside her, a young man dressed in the same clothes frantically brandished his long sword, desperately trying to get closer to the woman.
Although he was incredibly strong and could sever the branches with every strike, the branches' regenerative abilities and the dense pulling force posed a significant obstacle, forcing him to watch helplessly as the woman drew closer to death.
"Senior Sister Jin, Senior Brother Sheng!"
Behind them, three young men dressed in the same clothes also had red eyes, roaring and trying to rush forward, but they were all unable to move.
They were all in the same boat; although they weren't injured, they were all disheveled and exhausted, so they obviously couldn't hold on for long.
No...don't...
Seeing the young men's behavior, especially the leader's crazy actions, the woman burst into tears, shaking her head repeatedly, "Go away, don't worry about me, don't all die here!"
"Impossible! Even if we die, we'll die together!"
The young man in the lead turned around and shouted at the three people behind him, "You guys go, see if you can find reinforcements, I'm going to stay with Ah Jin!"
"Senior Brother Sheng!"
Upon hearing this, all three trembled and hesitated.
"Take this, it's the last Radiant Rune, let's go!"
The young man in the lead tossed a talisman to the group, then casually threw another one at the woman.
"Bang..."
In an instant, a blinding white light exploded, and the entire forest fell silent. The branches seemed to freeze in place, unable to move.
"Click..."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the young man in the lead quickly stepped forward, cut off the branches that were entangled around the woman, and then carried her away at high speed.
The woman was injured and would become a burden, so he certainly wouldn't abandon her. Therefore, for the safety of his three junior brothers behind him, he chose to leave alone with the woman.
"Asheng, put me down, go on your own, there's still a chance..."
The female protagonist nestled helplessly in the man's arms, her face filled with despair, tears streaming down her face.
"Shut up!"
However, before she could finish speaking, the man interrupted her angrily, saying, "Even if we die, we will die together. Stop talking now."
“Asheng…”
"Ah Jin, you know, I can't live without you."
The young man at the head bowed and placed a heavy kiss on the woman's forehead, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
Seeing this, the woman stopped trying to persuade him, closed her eyes, and nestled tightly in the young man's arms.
That's for the best. If we're really going to die, we can go together, and neither of us will feel lonely.
The three people behind them hesitated for a moment, then wiped away their tears and rushed off in another direction.
They understood what the leader meant, but they wouldn't just abandon them; they were sure they would find reinforcements.
Senior Brother Sheng, Senior Sister Jin, you must hold on!
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Due to the effect of the Radiant Rune, the trees in that area temporarily stopped attacking, but other areas were unaffected and launched attacks again as they passed by.
Although the three of them worked together quite well, the pressure they felt in this seemingly boundless place was more unbearable than the crisis in front of them.
In fact, these trees are not scary; their strength is far inferior to theirs. What is scary is the unknown and the endless despair.
