Su Shanshan and the rest were forced to step back. There were too many tree roots from all directions, and they were quickly surrounded. The tree roots kept advancing, and the few of them were forced to stick close to each other.

Cao Yunjin released his fire superpower which quickly burned a large portion of the tree roots. Only then did they have more room to move. Cao Yifan cried out in surprise, “Brother, before you attack, tell me. My hair is burnt.”

The few of them looked over and saw a tuft of burnt, brownish hair on his head. He looked so funny.

Before anyone could relax, the freshly burned tree roots were instantly replaced by new ones. The few of them were once again forced to huddle together. Su Shanshan took the lead and slashed the tree roots with her Tang sword. The tree roots were easily cut off. The people behind her followed her

example and used their weapons to cut off the tree roots. However, not long after, new roots would grow. If this continued, they would be exhausted.

Naturally, Su Shanshan had thought of this as well. She frowned, and the Tang sword in her hand was instantly covered in ice. The crystalline ice glistened in the sun. She swung it forcefully, and an opening appeared among the surrounding roots. She made a dash for it, with Wind Leopard beside her.

“Let’s charge out.”

Cao Yunjin and the rest quickly followed.

They were very fast. As soon as they escaped the encirclement of the roots, the roots grew again and were hot on their heels.

$u Shanshan nimbly climbed up a big tree and stood at the top to observe the situation in the distance. When she sighted the main trunk of the tree roots, she signaled Cao Yunjin and the rest. She used the vines between the trees to quickly jump towards the main trunk of the tree roots. Cao Yunjin and

the rest were behind to divert the tree roots’ attention away from her.

The roots were part of a huge oak tree with a trunk so thick that five people could wrap their arms around. A steady stream of roots emerged from the ground of this tree. Su Shanshan’s gaze was fixed on the spot where the roots were glimmering with a weak red light. That was the core of this tree.

The giant tree also knew its own weakness. It surrounded its nucleus tightly with the thickest roots.

Su Shanshan squatted on another tree and observed the movements of the big tree. From afar, the sounds of fighting between Cao Yunjin and the others could be heard. Judging by the diminishing sounds of their superpowers, they would not be able to hold out for much longer.

The giant tree seemed to know that they could not hold out any longer, so it increased its attack power. The number of roots that Cao Yunjin and the others were facing suddenly doubled. Meanwhile, the giant tree had almost no more roots to protect itself.

Good chance! Su Shanshan gripped her Tang sword tightly and charged forward.

Cao Yunjin and the rest were already in a bind. Their superpowers were almost depleted. The sudden increase in tree roots made their situation even more dangerous.

Cao Yifan injured his arm accidentally. After screaming in pain, he immediately continued fighting. He did not even have time to tend to his wound, but because of his injury, his mobility was affected. Cao Yunjin slowly approached and shielded him to lessen the pressure on him.

Some of the others followed suit. They formed an encirclement to shield others in the group. Although they could reduce casualties this way, the pressure on themselves would increase.

Cao Yunjin’s expression was a little grave as he reminded them, “Let’s get closer to each other. Some of us will recover our superpowers and take turns dealing with this thing,”

The tree roots continued to grow tirelessly. They could not keep fighting like this. They would be exhausted to death if they did not get killed first. This method was better, but the downside was that their recovery speed could not keep up with the tree roots. Soon almost everyone was injured.

If one looked from the outside, one could hardly see Cao Yunjin and the rest. The layers of tree roots surrounding them were so tight that they looked like a huge ball.

Cao Yunjin looked anxiously in the direction where Su Shanshan had gone. They could not hold out any longer.
