[Target dead, level progress decreased by 0.06, current level progress is -89.33%]

Wang Wen saw the 0.06 progress value above the dark-skinned, thin child's head being deducted from the level's progress.

In such a short time, we've already fallen so far behind in the level progress.

Even using vows to force your way through the level can't keep up with the rate at which points are being deducted!

It seems I'll have to follow the rhythm of the World Tower in this level.

[Unity with Heaven and Man] has only one hour left.

He lightly waved his Scepter and swore an oath.

As soon as the black tornado appeared, the child's hands and feet twitched.

The loess soil outside the village was blown down several inches.

The child barely regained consciousness.

The level progress that was just deducted has returned, from -89.33% to -89.27%.

This is just without deducting anything; there's still a progress indicator of 0.06 above the child's head.

This means that as long as the child is protected from the threat of death, the benefit should increase by 0.06.

Wang Wen wanted to continue testing.

A call came from afar.

A gaunt woman stumbled and ran toward the village entrance.

Wang Wen and the other four stopped in their tracks in alarm.

Seeing the child again, she couldn't help but run over and hug him, choking back tears, "That's wonderful, that's wonderful."

The woman was crying, but no tears came out.

They carried the child and retreated into the village.

The child fell to the ground several times because he was too weak to hold him properly.

She realized this wasn't a solution.

They had no choice but to drag the child along the ground by his hand.

The child, who had just regained consciousness, nearly died again.

Wang Wen reluctantly asked to keep them.

Instead of stopping, the woman quickened her pace.

The child was making thumping noises on the ground.

Within moments, his head lolled to the side, and he was lifeless.

[Target dead, level progress decreased by 0.06, current level progress is -89.33%]

Wang Wen and the other five. "..."

Mo Ran swiftly stepped in front of the woman, his voice as cold as an Arctic wind. "Run again and you'll die."

The woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

When they turned around, they found the child was no longer moving.

He held the corpse and wailed loudly.

Wang Wen glanced at the remaining time in [Unity with Heaven and Man].

He walked up to the woman and said, "Give me the child, and I can save him."

The woman looked at Wang Wen in horror, but held on even tighter.

Wang Wen had no choice but to walk away and vow from afar to wake the child.

A black tornado rises again.

The child slowly opened his eyes.

The woman stared in astonishment at the child and the black tornado in the distance, her mouth agape.

Mo Ran approached, roughly shoved the woman aside, snatched the child, and said coldly, "If you dare to stop us from saving the child again, I'll have enough reason to suspect that you're not the child's family at all."

The woman reached out to snatch it.

Mo Ran glared at her and pointed at her hand. "Come on! Touch me and I'll twist your head off!"

Wang Wen was easy to talk to, and women were not afraid of her.

The woman was genuinely intimidated by Mo Ran's fierce and menacing appearance.

She could only sob helplessly, watching as the child fell into the hands of several tall, burly "men".

Zhu Xingguo took the Health Potion and sprinkled it all over the child's body.

Especially the anus and abdomen.

Cheng Queyi then fed the child small amounts of her Healthy Body Water.

The child, who was on the verge of death, suddenly became agitated after tasting the water.

With his dark fingernails, he gripped the water bottle tightly and poured water into his mouth.

Wang Wen waved her Scepter from afar, as if to swear an oath.

Mo Ran reached out and stopped him.

If you rely solely on vows to save people, even if you have enough energy, you won't have enough time.

The group wanted to try and see if they could rescue the person using Zhu Xingguo's supplies.

Mo Ran squatted down, pulled the child over, and squeezed his abdomen, trying to make him vomit.

As a result, I squeezed it twice.

The child immediately started vomiting blood.

The progress above is "precarious".

Zhu Xingguo quickly poured the Health Potion into his mouth.

The child was quite outgoing and friendly.

Even though this group of people had caused themselves to bleed, he would immediately grab the bottle and gulp down the water as soon as it was available.

In the end, it was Cheng Queyi helped, gently and slowly inducing vomiting in the child with Healthy Body Water.

He barely managed to vomit out a large puddle of foul-smelling, black substance.

After several trips.

Until the color of the Healthy Body Water becomes lighter.

Only then did everyone straighten up, their foreheads covered in sweat.

The baby's belly has successfully flattened.

He lay weakly on the clean ground beside her, like a stranded fish.

Zhu Xingguo took out Healthy Body Water and handed it to him.

He finally felt a sense of fear.

He vomited several times after drinking water, and he became a little scared.

I thought I would have to keep drinking water to induce vomiting.

For the first time, my dirty hands didn't reach for the water bottle.

Zhu Xingguo thought for a moment.

Then he took out a small piece of Gourmet Bread and handed it over.

The weak child's eyes widened at the sight of the shiny bread. He grabbed it, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it after only a few chews.

The Tower Climber knew he clearly hadn't tasted anything.

Otherwise, the expression wouldn't be so ordinary.

He swallowed the bread so quickly.

The child choked, unsurprisingly.

He struggled, his face flushed and neck bulging.

This time, when Zhu Xingguo handed him the water again, he didn't think much of it, grabbed the water bottle, and stretched his neck to drink.

I finally managed to swallow the bread.

He breathed heavily, looking fearfully at the group of vomiting maniacs around him.

I'm afraid I'll throw up the delicious food I just ate.

This constant coming and going not only didn't bring in much, but actually resulted in giving away a lot.

The child wasn't very happy about it.

Zhu Xingguo laughed and said, "You don't need to throw up this time, eat with peace of mind."

After saying that, he took out a whole book and a loaf of bread and handed it over.

The child was stunned, holding a loaf of bread almost as big as himself.

He stood there dumbfounded.

I sniffed it carefully and found that it smelled similar to what I had just swallowed.

He smacked his lips.

He looked up again at the madmen around him, but there was no sign of them pressing on his stomach.

He swallowed.

He opened his mouth and took a bite of bread.

Perhaps because he had just swallowed a piece of bread to relieve his hunger, or perhaps because he was afraid of choking, this time he didn't swallow it directly, but chewed it in his mouth.

Mo Ran could tell from the child's expression that he was doomed.

really.

The child's eyes widened as he chewed.

Finally, he stared at the bread in his hand as if he had seen a ghost.

Incredibly, I took another bite.

This time, for some reason, he suddenly spat it out with a "pui" sound.

When I spat it onto my hand, it was still a lump of bread, unchanged.

His small, dark face was filled with confusion and bewilderment.

He opened his mouth and ate the piece of bread he had spat out.

He chewed it again and smiled happily.

His face was all scrunched up, he looked incredibly ugly.

After Zhu Xingguo fed the child a few more mouthfuls of the Health Potion, the progress on his head gradually disappeared.

[Level progress increased by 0.06, current level progress is -89.21%]

Success!

Zhu Xingguo and the others clapped their hands excitedly.

Even Wang Wen was reluctantly pulled into a high-five by them.

The group was very happy.

Although it took a lot of resources and time.

But they succeeded! They successfully helped the team speed up the progress.

It was accomplished without Wang Wen lifting a finger.

This is a good start!

Mo Ran handed the child back to the woman.

The woman watched the group's actions the whole time and knew they were genuinely trying to save the child.

I am extremely grateful.

He slammed his head against the ground repeatedly.

After the child was returned, he hugged her tightly, his eyes red and swollen.

As a pair of dark, grimy hands reached for the bread in front of her mouth, the woman swallowed hard.

I didn't want to eat it, but I was so hungry.

I couldn't resist taking a small bite, holding it in my mouth intending to let it slowly dissolve with my saliva.

I was just about to thank my five benefactors.

She was stunned.

He moved his lips.

Then I recalled the black tornado that rose up when I rescued the child.

The woman looked at the five men and asked cautiously, stammering, "Are you... Demon?"
