The reason it was called a humanoid creature rather than a person was because it truly only had a human shape. On its bald head were only a pair of dark green eyeballs—no mouth, nose, or ears—and its slender neck was covered in bark-like scales.
Its upper body was bare, its pallid skin traced with dark green runic lines. The faint glow they gave off made it look particularly eerie. Its lower body was covered in a layer of bark-like scales.
The instant it appeared, all the Wood Spirit poison surging through this space rushed toward Wang Ping, trying to swallow him whole. Wang Ping gently stroked Yulian's little head, telling her not to move as he activated the 'Sky-Veiling Talisman' and directly twisted away the reality rules of that Wood Spirit poison.

Yulian cried out.
Suppressing his shock, Wang Ping took Yulian and used a Transfer Talisman to swiftly evade the sword array's attack.
