It happened so suddenly that the remaining three all changed expression.
"Heal him first!"
[Wolf in Water] almost instinctively raised his shield and charged over, blocking the front as his eyes swept the surroundings, guarding against a second trap.
[Bro Don't] had already pounced to [Light in the Night]'s side, grabbing Hao Houmi and pouring green light like mad into his wound.
But the problem was even worse than they had imagined.
The runes on the wooden spike clearly had a powerful healing suppression effect. The healing came painfully slowly and could not bring his health back up at all!
With [Bro Don't]'s healing output, he could only barely keep [Light in the Night]'s health at the brink of death, preventing him from dying on the spot.
"I can't pull it out!"
[Bro Don't] was sweating anxiously.
"This thing has barbs. If I force it out, he'll bleed massively! With how little health he has left, pulling it out will kill him immediately!"
"Damn it, what a jinx! Buy a beacon, now!"
Seeing [Light in the Night]'s face grow paler and paler, [Mind Storm] made a snap decision. He opened the shop panel and spent all the reserve hidden energy the team had saved up for so long, instantly purchasing a [Biological Beacon].
"Lao San, stick it in the tree hollow!"
[Wolf in Water] caught the glowing beacon, turned and slammed it into the trunk of a hollow tree beside them. Then he grabbed dirt and fallen leaves to cover it up, erasing the traces as best he could.
"Done!"
He caught his breath and shouted back,
"Lao Si, if you really can't hold on, just close your eyes. When you open them again, you'll respawn right here at full health. You'll only lose a little experience, so don't waste
