Although the group of Withered Tree Spirits managed to withstand the ice phoenix's zero-degree dive attack, there was still another ice phoenix in the sky. Under Fang Yu's command, the second one descended upon them with an even fiercer zero-degree force.
The more overwhelming freezing destruction made it difficult for the Withered Tree Spirits to cope, and their bodies began to freeze.
Fang Yu's attack wasn't over yet. He extended his hand and waved toward the two ice phoenixes.
"Disperse!"
Instantly, the ice phoenixes shattered, turning into a sky full of frost.
"Condense!"
They then reformed into finer, denser ice spikes, shooting out violently in all directions.
The number of ice spikes was immense. Every Withered Tree Spirit was pierced hundreds of times repeatedly, and the entire group was annihilated in an instant.
With the Withered Tree Spirits dead, the plant cage dispersed, and a tall figure in tattered clothing walked out.
The woman panted lightly and looked at Fang Yu as she spoke, "Thank you for saving me."
This woman, who could be described as "handsome," had full thighs that couldn't be concealed even by her loose military pants, while her calves were extremely slender. Even without high heels, she possessed such uprightness and length, truly exceptional.
Her nose was a rare, delicate aquiline shape. Paired with her bright, narrow single-lidded eyes, her androgynous beauty was striking, carrying a captivating mix of charm and pride!
Well, regardless of whether she leaned more feminine or tomboyish, as long as someone looked good, it hardly mattered. This was a world where beauty could move even ghosts!
Unfortunately, she was currently in quite a disheveled state; otherwise, she would be even more stunning.
Fang Yu observed the woman with a military medal hanging on her chest and had already guessed her identity. He asked.
"You're Nan Jue, right?"
"Mm."
Nan Jue nodded and asked with some confusion, "And you are?"
"Fang Yu!"
"Because the military issued a rescue target, I accepted the bounty as a Hunter Master," Fang Yu replied.
"Thank you!"
Nan Jue said gratefully.
"Come with me. Once we leave this Withered Tree Forest, I can contact the military. You'll be safe then," Fang Yu said.
"Wait a moment…"
A trace of sadness appeared on Nan Jue's face.
She walked over to the two military mages who had just died, took their spatial containers, and recovered their bodies.
"Let's go."
"Alright."
"Be careful. Withered Tree Spirits are quite cunning. They disguise themselves as ordinary dead trees, if you're not careful, you'll fall into their trap," Nan Jue reminded Fang Yu.
"My main cultivation is Sound Element magic. I can distinguish them, I'll support you."
"Sounds good!" Fang Yu responded.
As a functional type of magic, Sound Element often provided advanced perception avoiding danger, tracking prey, disrupting opponents, and suppressing attacks.
In such a dense withered forest environment, Sound Element was indeed very convenient!
"That direction!" Nan Jue's clear voice rang out within the withered forest.
It was a Withered Tree Spirit lying in ambush, waiting for prey. It had intended to hunt passing human mages, but unexpectedly, despite remaining completely still, it had been discovered.
Just as the Withered Tree Spirit tried to escape, the temperature suddenly dropped. Freezing frost clung to its body like a magnet, rapidly covering it in a layer of ice.
Moments later, its movements became sluggish. Covered in frost, it was quickly turned into an ice sculpture.
Along the way, with Nan Jue's Sound Element guidance, Fang Yu unleashed his ice power, dealing with the Withered Tree Spirits with ease. His overwhelmingly powerful frost had a remarkable effect against plant-type demons, and the Withered Tree Spirits were slaughtered one by one.
Ice Element countered Plant Element, this was basic knowledge taught in nine-year compulsory magic education. Of course, Fire Element countered plants even more.
As they advanced, the two worked together with exceptional coordination and ease.
Sound Element scouting, Plant Element battlefield control, combined with Fang Yu's Ice Element and Space Element destructive bombardment, together, they finally escaped the Withered Tree Forest.
However, when the two broke out, Nan Jue's condition was clearly not right. Her legs went weak, and she could no longer hold on, collapsing to her knees.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yu asked.
"I'm poisoned." Nan Jue removed her boots and checked the condition of her legs.
Her fair, jade-like feet had turned a deep purple, clearly infected with poison.
This must have happened before she was trapped.
Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
As expected of a military mage.
Such willpower!
She had endured it all the way until now without making a sound.
"I'll support you."
Seeing that Nan Jue couldn't walk at all, Fang Yu stepped forward and held her by the waist. Her waist was truly slender, rarely had he seen one so slim.
He found a safe spot and gently set her down, then began treating the poison. After all, with poisoning, the longer it was delayed, the more severe it would become.
"I'll apply some medicine."
Fang Yu knelt beside her and directly pulled aside the fabric covering her leg, exposing the poisoned limb completely.
Faced with such a suggestive scene, Fang Yu could only apply the medicine while silently reciting calming thoughts.
Fortunately, his self-control was strong enough!
Meanwhile, Nan Jue's face was already flushed red, like a ripe apple.
Inside a cave, a blazing campfire burned brightly. At this moment, the curvaceous Nan Jue lay flat, resting.
"Mmm~~"
As she lay there, Nan Jue suddenly let out a soft moan. Instantly, the atmosphere in the cave grew even more tense, and one could even hear someone swallowing.
Nan Jue slowly woke from her rest, opening her eyes to look around.
"Put these on." Fang Yu handed her the freshly cleaned pants and said, "Your poison hasn't been fully cured yet. I've already sent out a signal, the military will arrive for rescue soon. Once they're here, you can receive proper treatment."
"Thank you!" Nan Jue said gratefully.
