Just as she was finally relieved, sharp nails suddenly sprang out from Thanos's paw pads. In full view of everyone, what happened was completely unexpected. They could only watch helplessly as Thanos exerted force forward, and the nails dug deep into the fruit.
"hiss--"
Xu Ling was caught off guard and immediately gasped in shock, while everyone else stared in disbelief at the scene.
For a moment, no one thought to stop it.
Seriously?!
Ruth was the first to recover from the shock of the scene; however, even as she came to her senses, her pupils remained dilated.
Ruth's mouth also opened wide, and she stared at Thanos with an incredulous expression.
The next second, she screamed at a high decibel, almost breaking her voice.
"Aaaaaah—Thanos!—"
The final note lingered, barely concealing Ruth's burgeoning anger.
Without a doubt, Ruth had gone beyond anger, her reason almost completely burned away.
Before her words had even faded, Ruth began flapping her wings rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, she flew up in front of Thanos. Before Thanos could react, Ruth raised her right foot and then kicked Thanos hard in the nose with all her might.
"Awoo!"
Now, it was Thanos's turn to let out a heart-wrenching wail that echoed through the heavens.
"Pah, serves you right!"
Ruth stood with her hands on her hips, her face full of resentment.
Why didn't she just kick Thanos over?!
Fortunately, Thanos had a huge size advantage over the goblins, which prevented Ruth from getting her way.
However, this still caused Thanos immense pain.
It hurts so much!
Thanos immediately lay down on the ground, his two snow-white paws tightly covering his still throbbing nose, and large tears welled up in his wolf eyes, completely uncontrollable.
Thanos, his voice trembling with tears, accused her: "Ruth, you've gone too far!"
Even if he was wrong just now, there was no need to be so harsh!
He even wondered if Ruth had kicked his nose so badly it was smashed!
Ruth simply snorted in response.
She didn't think she had done anything wrong!
No matter what, Thanos deserved it. If Thanos hadn't been so impulsive, she wouldn't have kicked him!
and!
Ruth looked at the five holes left by the wolf's claws on the red fruit and was overcome with grief.
Now, tears started falling from Ruth's eyes as well.
"Master!" Rose cried out, her voice trembling with fear and confusion. "What should we do now?"
Now it was Xu Ling's turn to be at a loss.
She didn't know what to do about it.
But looking at Ruth's expression, she dared not say that.
Xu Ling could only rack her brains for words of comfort.
"It's alright, it's alright, let me see!"
She didn't know if anything was wrong, so she could only keep talking like this for the time being.
However, she wasn't just saying it; Xu Ling took a few steps closer to the fruit and even cast a healing spell on it.
I don't know if it will work, but I'll just try it as a last resort!
However, after Xu Ling cast a healing spell, the five conspicuous pits remained exactly the same as before.
this······
Seeing this, everyone fell silent, their eyes revealing a hint of panic.
Even old John and Ella, who had only recently arrived, knew how much Ruth valued the Tree of Life, and by extension, how much she valued the red fruit.
what to do?
As they looked at each other, they both realized that the other's eyes conveyed the same meaning.
How should this situation be resolved?!
Xu Ling carefully observed Ruth's expression.
Seeing her stare at the five remaining holes, her expression instantly turning one of utter devastation, Xu Ling panicked.
"Ruth, Ruth!"
Xu Ling had just shouted something, and before she could say anything else, something unexpected happened.
The fruit, which had been quietly rolling to the ground without any movement, suddenly began to float up slowly, as if guided by something.
This immediately attracted the attention of everyone else, and even Ruth, who had been looking disappointed, instantly composed herself and stared intently at the fruit.
"Master, look!"
Ruth pointed to the side of Xu Ling, gesturing for Xu Ling to look over.
Xu Ling happened to be closest to the fruit, so she didn't immediately notice the strangeness around her until Ruth spoke up, at which point she turned her head to look.
By this time, the fruit had floated up to Xu Ling's head.
Xu Ling looked up, and before she could even observe it, the fruit emitted a soft glow from within.
The others were fine; they didn't find the light too bright.
Xu Ling was the closest to the light, and no matter how soft the light was, she still reflexively closed her eyes and subconsciously avoided it.
Fortunately, the light only lasted a few moments before it went out.
Xu Ling opened her eyes only after the light disappeared.
At this moment, the fruit, the size of a calf, was level with Xu Ling's line of sight.
The non-glowing fruit looked no different from the ordinary ones. Xu Ling tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a small handprint imprinted on the fruit peel.
It seems to be waiting for her?
In an instant, this thought flashed through Xu Ling's mind.
