"He is the Overlord here. Anything that invades its territory will become its food. It is a miracle that you can escape from its clutches. What I'm curious about is how did you get there? Of course you couldn't have swam across it. " "I think we got to the end of the Underground River and walked through a Flood Barrier. Now look. Come on, we didn’t go to the other side of the Underground River, but to the middle of the Underground River, where there is a wall that separates the Underground River.” Tang Yumo covered her face in surprise. After a long pause, he said: "You are so lucky. The place where Heimanluo most often occupies is the shallow water. You can actually walk through it intact. I can't help but you... It's unbelievable." Tang Yumo He seemed to be really surprised that the words didn't match up at the end. "Is it scarier than that glowing wall? I think that glowing wall is scarier. My companion." I pointed in the direction of the bonfire. "That white guy. He was almost eaten by the glowing wall. I was also trapped in its illusion and almost couldn't extricate myself." ∴, "I call it SpongeBob SquarePants. If you don't mess with it, it will be helpless. It's harmful. Its light and smell are harmless. You will fall into hallucinations only if you eat its meat. And as long as you are not greedy, you will be fine if you leave before the hallucinations occur. It's your friend who is too greedy. If you had left Light Barrier as soon as possible, it wouldn’t be like this.” “I didn’t leave, we were together.” “You mean you didn’t stay away from Light Barrier?” , Me and him." I pointed at Jack again. "Resting with my back against Light Barrier at the same time, I should also fall into hallucinations at the same time. It's just that I woke up earlier. After I woke up, we were both tied in the middle of Light Barrier at the same time, more than one meter high from Ground Location. I saw him being dragged inside Light Barrier, and I dug him out of Light Barrier with my own hands, and dug out a Monster’s body.” I saw Tang Yumo’s nose was slightly swollen. There was an imperceptible frown, not an eyebrow. I guess she has seen the things dug out of Light Barrier and smelled the stench that directly stimulates the nerves. But her eyebrows quickly wrinkled, as if she was thinking about something. "Then how did you treat your injuries?" In fact, along the way, I also began to wonder about this question. Why don't those vine-like things take root inside me. No wonder Jack collapsed, I felt crushed too, of course, I collapsed because of this problem. I leaned forward and asked her, "Have you ever seen this kind of wound?" "Of course, I have dealt with this kind of injury myself. I can do it better than you."
I tend to be more reserved, and being criticized for the surgery failure by two people in a row left me feeling a bit embarrassed. Including Jack, I had now been criticized by three people regarding the same issue.
I cleared my throat lightly to cover my awkward expression. "What if it's possible that that creature resembling a Light Barrier is picky? For instance, it might refuse to swallow anything that doesn't suit its taste, or even disdainfully avoid sending its vine-like roots in."
Tang Yumo looked at me with a slight smile, her expression shifting from polite calmness to one of teasing, as if responding to my whimsical idea. But in an instant, her smile vanished. She almost blurted out, "Really... did it happen?"
I was unprepared for her rapid change of expression, faster than a Sichuan opera face change. I was still caught up in my embarrassment and unease.
Still, I followed her lead and asked, "What happened?"
"You fell asleep leaning against the Light Barrier?" Tang Yumo's demeanor became unnatural, even somewhat tense. This was quite unlike her ethereal presence.
I nodded. I understood what she meant; she knew what could happen there. Her question was aimed at confirming whether something had occurred at the point where my body made contact with the Light Barrier—perhaps something like being rooted by vine-like appendages.
"When I woke up, I was also leaning against the Light Barrier, just like him." I gestured with my chin behind me, and of course, Tang Yumo immediately knew who I was referring to. "Not only was his back rooted by seven vines, but he was entirely dragged into the Light Barrier. As for me, I was merely bound to the surface of the Light Barrier, allowing me to move freely; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to rescue him."
I decided to tell her everything she wanted to know.
"Let me see your back," Tang Yumo regained some of her composure.
"My back is fine. Well, I hope you can find something out." I didn't insist too much; I figured she would have more experience with this matter.
I handed the flashlight to Xiao Ting, took off my jacket, and turned around to expose my back. The flashlight illuminated the area, and I could see them examining it closely.
"Look here." I stretched one hand back forcefully and pressed it against the spot where there had once been two dents. "Jack found two dead vines here before; they seemed to have died without rooting in. Do you see anything wrong?"
I felt a cold finger touch that spot and slowly move as if searching for something. A wave of discomfort washed over me—not from embarrassment at a woman's hand roaming over me but rather from the snake-like sensation it evoked; not only was that finger cold, but the area it touched also turned icy.
I jumped away from that hand and quickly grabbed my jacket to put it on. Turning around while hugging my shoulders, I said, "It's too cold here; you're going to freeze me! Did you find anything?"
Tang Yumo shook her head slightly. "It's strange; it's not what I expected. Perhaps your constitution is special; its roots might not be able to penetrate, or maybe it's just picky?"
Tang Yumo spoke with little confidence, her gaze slightly evasive, lacking the naturalness she had when she first looked at me.
"What do you think? Have you encountered a situation like this?" I refused to accept her ambiguous response. I believed she had seen something. Her eyes betrayed her.
"No, I've never seen anything like this, nor have I heard of it. It's too unbelievable. If it's due to... a physical condition, then it's impossible to fall into an illusion, let alone be bound by it. I... can't explain."
"What kind of condition wouldn't be affected by it? You must have seen it before, right? Would someone with that condition be rooted by the vines? How am I different?" I bombarded her with questions, not giving her a moment to think.
Clearly, she was still inexperienced in handling such pressure; her expression immediately turned flustered as if she wanted to escape.
At that moment, I heard hurried footsteps approaching. Turning around, I saw two Hakka Men running toward us. They had already circled the campfire, coming from the other side of Fatty. It seemed they were wary of him.
Fatty had noticed the movements of the two Hakka People. He was kneeling on the ground performing surgery on Jack and had now straightened up. He didn't move or look at the two Hakka People running past the fire but instead focused on me. At the moment our eyes met, he raised both bloodied hands and made a throat-cutting gesture.
