"Save me... save me..." Jiang Hu and the others lay dying in the forest. When they saw Lin Bai, Qin Yuyan, and the others approaching, a glimmer of light appeared in their ashen eyes. They desperately reached toward Qin Yuyan and cried out.
"Senior Sister Qin, save me... save me..." The others also spotted Qin Yuyan and crawled toward her with all their remaining strength.
"What happened to you?" Qin Yuyan asked, her face filled with confusion, as she stepped forward. But just then, Lin Bai suddenly reached out and pulled her back.
After Lin Bai pulled her back, Qin Yuyan did not move forward again.
Once the people around them noticed Lin Bai's small gesture, they all distanced themselves from Jiang Hu and the others. No matter how hard they crawled forward, every time they moved one step closer, Lin Bai and the others retreated one step.
Jiang Hu noticed everyone's actions and immediately collapsed to the ground with a bitter smile. The hope that had just appeared in his eyes vanished in an instant. He leaned against a tree and sat there, his eyes gradually turning ashen. The aura of life around him slowly dissipated, yet he did not die immediately.
It was not that Lin Bai did not want to save them. Rather, even Lin Bai had yet to figure out why they had ended up in such a state.
Lin Bai carefully examined Jiang Hu and the others, but found no wounds on them whatsoever, nor any other abnormalities.
"If you want us to save you, you must tell us the truth. How exactly did you end up in this state?" Lin Bai looked them over from side to side. After finding no wounds on them, he could not help asking.
Jiang Hu shook his head.
