Chapter 494 Youngsters
Lin Wanxi rushed forward desperately, her hair flying in disarray.
But even though she tried her best, she was still a step too slow. The tree root seized the opportunity and, with terrifying momentum, stabbed Lin Chuan's heart fiercely.
"do not want!"
Lin Wanxi let out a heart-wrenching scream, the sound piercing the sky, carrying with it endless despair and sorrow.
However, just when the dark purple tree roots were about to touch Lin Chuan's heart, something strange happened.
A corrupt force surged out of Lin Chuan's body like a black tide, madly corroding the tree roots.
The dark purple tree roots were seen decaying rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, with the surface texture twisted and deformed. Then they exploded with a loud bang, turning into countless powders that scattered all over the sky.
“No…nothing?!”
Seeing this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Lin Wanxi's originally desperate face.
When the tree roots saw that they had no way to attack Lin Chuan, they instantly changed direction, and most of them madly attacked Lin Wanxi who was rushing over.
"No, there are too many of these tree roots, and they are so difficult to deal with. I don't know what kind of trouble will happen if I continue to stay here..."
Lin Wanxi was extremely anxious. Just as she came up with the idea of taking Lin Chuan to the top of the mountain and entering the portal, the tree roots that kept surrounding them seemed to have the ability to read minds. They entangled with each other, layer by layer, blocking the way to the top of the mountain.
"It seems that we can only go down the mountain first and think of a solution..."
Lin Wanxi thought to herself that in her current state, it would not be very easy for her to break through the encirclement of these stubborn tree roots, return to the top of the mountain and enter the portal by herself. What's more, she had to bring Lin Chuan with her.
She didn't dare to bet that these tree roots really couldn't hurt Lin Chuan. After all, Lin Chuan's safety was more important than anything else in her heart.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanxi took a deep breath, put her fair arms around Lin Chuan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, tapped her toes lightly, and quickly flew down the mountain.
"This power... no wonder the tree roots didn't hurt you, young master. No... I can't let you go..."
Lin Wanxi's brows furrowed, a look of pain on her face. She could clearly feel a decaying force coursing through Lin Chuan's body, entering her own like an icy snake. This force was cold and strange, attempting to corrode her meridians.
She gritted her teeth to resist the invasion of this force, and her spiritual power was running wildly in her body to fight against the force of decay; at the same time, she controlled the finger bone and strangled the tree roots that kept approaching from all directions.
As Lin Wanxi got closer and closer to the foot of the mountain, the tree roots surrounding her gradually became sparse and no longer as troublesome as before.
However, Lin Wanxi's pace was becoming increasingly slower. Her steps were weak and each step seemed difficult.
At this moment, she looked as haggard and withered as Lin Chuan, who was unconscious in her arms.
Her once delicate and fair skin had lost its luster, revealing a sickly paleness. A faint smell of decay permeated her body, as if life was slowly draining from her body.
But even so, her arms were still tightly wrapped around Lin Chuan, refusing to relax at all.
"Don't worry, sir. I'm here and I won't let you get hurt at all..."
Lin Wanxi's lips trembled slightly, and her voice was so weak that it was almost drowned out by the wind.
Although she was very close to the foot of the mountain, her body could not bear the weight.
The corrupted force continued to erode her vitality, and the struggle with the tree roots along the way also exhausted her last bit of strength.
Even though she was only one step away, her legs couldn't support her and she fell to the ground with a plop, her eyes slowly closing.
But at the moment of falling, her arms subconsciously tightened, holding Lin Chuan tightly in her arms.
……
The aura of death lingering around Lin Chuan became increasingly strong, and the decayed power surging through his meridians was like a black torrent, devouring all vitality.
Just as the shadow of death was about to completely cover his entire body, the black and white lotus in his dantian suddenly trembled slightly.
In an instant, a ray of almost transparent vitality burst out from the lotus heart, like a ray of morning light piercing the thick night.
At first, this force was as weak as a candle in the wind, teetering on the brink of collapse amidst the surging force of decay. But it was like a living being, constantly devouring the decaying aura around it, growing stronger with every ounce it absorbed.
"Is this... successful?! A desperate struggle to survive..."
Lin Chuan's consciousness gradually gathered in the darkness, and he vaguely caught sight of the changes in his body.
The vigorous vitality is like a new sprout breaking through the soil in spring, breaking through the shackles of decay and spreading freely in the meridians.
……
"Am I going to die? But it's better this way. I don't have to be a burden to the people around me..."
"I don't know if you're safe, young master. You're so close to being completely safe, but you should be fine, right? I tried my best..."
……
Just when Lin Wanxi's consciousness was about to completely dissipate like a candle in the wind, she suddenly realized that a completely different power had appeared in her body in her chaotic perception.
This power was like a ray of light in the darkness, which suddenly boosted her originally scattered will.
"No, Master cannot be hurt at all. I can't fall down like this. Master still needs me..."
"I want to protect the young master!"
