The mother body of the root of heaven and earth has been completely furious. The flames have spread all over its body, but it is already furious and is planning to drag Yunwen and I to die together. Not only that, more roots have reached and tightly bound Sanfu with three layers inside and outside. Even if Sanfu is extremely powerful, he seems powerless in front of this giant ginseng that is ten stories high. With his hands, feet and body all tied up, he can't use his strength.

I didn't notice it just now. It must have been hiding underground and came here burrowing underground. Just when I got off the horse, it immediately launched an attack with its roots. It was like I stepped into a trap it had carefully laid. I was immediately entangled to death by its roots. Then it drilled out from the ground, making it easier for other roots to tighten around us!

The fire kept spreading and burning on its huge body. I could only hope that it would be burned to death and let us go. However, this idea was still rather naive. After all, it was too big, and the fire would take at least half an hour to spread. By that time, Yunwen and I would have already died.

There is just one thing that surprised me. Its thorns are poisonous, but after it stabbed me, for some reason I didn't have the same feeling as Yunwen, such as twitching, numbness, or even foaming at the mouth. I just felt a lot of pain in my flesh. In addition, after being in the purple poisonous miasma for such a long time, I didn't faint like the first time. Could it be that I have developed antibodies?

But I don’t have the heart to think about these things now. It’s a matter of life and death. I can only think of a way to save myself and then save Yunwen, so as to avoid being trapped to death.

"Zhou Bo..." Yunwen's hand was still outside the roots and reached out to me.

Although I was trapped by these roots, I could feel Yunwen's eager eyes and looked at them carefully. I also tried my best to reach out and hold Yunwen's hand. Our two fingers were just a hair's breadth away, but I still couldn't touch her. I endured the risk of having my skin scratched by the countless thorns and wanted to move a little closer so that my fingers could lightly touch her.

"In fact, I have thought about your suggestion countless times in the past month. We should live our own lives alone in a half-acre field under the moon and flowers. But at that time, I was afraid that you would abandon me because of my disfigurement, so I was always hesitant. Now I realize how unnecessary it was for me to think like this. Anyway, I have long wanted to spend my life with you. Even if you are really not good to me, what can I do? No matter where I am, I can't hide from you. You are already deeply in my heart. I can't avoid you. Is there any other way out?" Yunwen said.

"I, Zhou Bo, will definitely only treat you well and keep you safe. How could I have any second thoughts? Heaven and earth can bear witness to this." I said.

"I believe in you and will never doubt you again! I hope I can see you again in the next life, my Zhou Bo." Yunwen said.

"See you in the next life. I hope that by then, you and I will not be disturbed by the outside world, and we can live together in peace and lead our own little lives. We will no longer be troubled, no longer be bothered, no longer be influenced by villains, and live in peace and freedom." I said.

"Okay, then it's a deal! No need to play tricks, just come to find me and see you in the next life!" Yunwen said.

We wanted to hold hands and die together, but who would have thought that a few more roots would attack, wrap around our hands, and pull them apart. Our five fingers were connected, but due to the huge resistance, we couldn't hold on at all, and they became looser and looser. After a while, each finger separated one by one, and we were completely separated by the roots. We called each other's names, but we could only hear the voice and could no longer feel each other's warmth.

I felt desperate. I never thought that after finally resolving the misunderstanding with Yunwen and helping her heal her face, it would not bring about a good outcome. We would be forcibly separated and die. This is what is meant by "extreme joy leads to sorrow".

The only hope is the fox fairy beauty Hu Lingshang, but she is not willing to take risks unless there is something to gain. She saved me before, and asked me to help her find the Yinxi Pot, hoping that I would help her find the source of life. Now she has found it, and she has also found another one and drank it all. I am of no use, so why did she risk her life to help me?

When negotiating with a shrewd fox, there is no affection or loyalty involved. The only thing that can be discussed is interests. Emotion is just a cover.

A thousand-year-old fox is at least a shrewd old fox. She can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, but she will not take risks to save people.

Soon, my mouth, nose, mouth and throat were also tied up by the roots. I could no longer breathe. It was impossible to call Yunwen. It seemed that death was about to come, and there was no escape this time.

I no longer heard Yunwen's call in my ears. Instead of that, we might as well die together in peace. So I closed my eyes, stopped struggling, and let those roots continue to attack me.

At this moment, the root suddenly stopped moving, and then began to slowly collapse. I struggled hard and finally broke free. I fell to the ground in mid-air, and my lower back was in great pain. Yunwen also fell down, and then Sanfu fell down. The root suddenly stopped its attack and came to an abrupt halt.

As I was wondering, I saw the nine-tailed white fox Hu Lingshang thrust a long tree trunk directly into the Root of Heaven and Earth, causing purple liquid to continuously flow out of it, while the roots became loose. It seemed that its life had ended and it could no longer be tossed around.

As the mother plant died, all the other roots around it, big or small, long or short, thin or thick and round, all began to collapse on the mountain. Then the raging fire kept spreading, devouring and burning them.

Only then did I notice that almost all the roots of the mother root were attacking me, so that there was no protection on top, with too much attack and not enough defense. Therefore, Hu Lingshang took advantage of the opportunity and killed me with one move without any risk.

Would she do such a good deed? I had some doubts, but then I immediately thought that this root of heaven and earth is a spiritual object after all, and the Yin Xie pot is a treasured tool for refining objects. The bad guys use it to refine corpses and save their lives, while the fox tribe uses it to refine spiritual objects for repair purposes, which is a way of cultivation, so she may not be sincere in helping us.

But she could have waited until we died before taking action. Her willingness to take action in advance was also a help and a life-saving grace. Besides, if she hadn't reminded me to use fire attack, I might have been exhausted to death by now dealing with those skeletons.

No matter what the process is, as long as the result is good, it's fine. She is not obligated to be kind to us.

"Thank you, Miss Lingshang." I shouted.

"You're welcome, Zhou Lang."

After a while, I felt exhausted all over. I was probably too excited because of the life-and-death situation just now, so I didn't care about the tiredness. Now that the dust has settled, I feel exhausted all over my body. I have exhausted all my strength to deal with the bones, and I was almost suffocated by the entangled roots. In addition, I fell heavily just now. I couldn't bear it anymore. When I realized that I was safe, all the fatigue came to me at once. My eyes went dark, and I wanted to say something, but I didn't say it. I passed out from exhaustion.

I don't know how long I was without memory. When I woke up, I was already on the second floor of the castle. I touched my side, but Yunwen was not there. It was still daylight outside. I was a little flustered. How could this scene be the same as the morning before I passed out? Could it be that that was a dream and I just woke up now?

Out of concern, I hurried to check for wounds around me, but I saw that my back and the parts below were not bruised or purple, and there was no pain. In addition, there were no wounds on my body caused by the roots. Of course, most of the wounds were on my legs except for the clothes. Because the clothes I was wearing were special wild survival clothes of the Milong Camp, called the Milong Robe, ordinary thorns could not leave any marks at all, but the marks that should have been left were nowhere to be found.

I was startled. After all the things that happened between Yunwen and me, including the life-and-death moment and the misunderstanding being resolved, this couldn't really be a dream!

So I ran out quickly, but saw Yunwen and the Song sisters sitting at the dining table, talking to each other. From my angle upstairs, I couldn't see Yunwen's face, so I couldn't tell whether her face was still wrapped in cloth.
