Chapter 449: 249 Walking Past (Second Update)_2

Bai Ye glanced at the crack on the opposite side and did not object but merely asked, "Do you have any ideas?" It would be fine if they could shoot a rope across with a gun or a crossbow arrow, but where could they find such things now?

Fang Yuxin thought for a moment and said, "Let me try with Red Powder! See if it can extend to the other side." After speaking, she began communicating with Red Powder.

Bai Ye did not stop her but quietly waited.

Fang Yuxin quickly communicated with Red Powder and excitedly said to Bai Ye, "Red Powder said it can." Actually, this width was a bit of a stretch for Red Powder, but it did not want to disappoint Fang Yuxin, so it decided to take the risk.

Red Powder fell off Lan Re, landed on the ground, and took deep root. Then, it extended a branch that kept stretching towards the opposite side.

Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye nervously watched the branch; it moved quickly, extending tens of meters in a blink, then hundreds of meters. Then, its pace slowed down, and every ten meters it extended seemed exceedingly difficult.

Seeing this, Fang Yuxin simply grasped one of Red Powder’s branches and continuously fed it pure Wood Energy. With this nourishment, the branch’s speed soon increased, and it quickly reached the other side.

First, it tested the branch and then extended towards a tree on the other side, winding around the trunk several times.

Fang Yuxin sighed in relief upon seeing this and was about to cross immediately in excitement. Bai Ye, seeing the branch no thicker than a thumb, startled and quickly pulled Fang Yuxin back, "Wait a moment!"

Fang Yuxin looked at him in surprise, "What’s wrong?"

Bai Ye pointed at the branch and said gravely, "This branch is too thin; it’s too dangerous to cross like this." Hearing this, Fang Yuxin frowned and continued communicating with Red Powder, asking if it could thicken the branch a bit.

Red Powder quickly responded. It extended more branches toward the opposite bank, eventually weaving them into a bridge wide enough for a person to cross. The bridge even had handrails made of branches and leaves on both sides to prevent anyone from falling off.

However, to create such a bridge, Fang Yuxin had almost given ninety percent of her Wood Energy to Red Powder, causing her complexion to become nearly translucent.

Bai Ye, looking at her pallor, grimly said, "I’ll pull you across." After saying that, he ignored Fang Yuxin’s objections and pulled her onto the bridge.

The bridge was narrow, allowing only one person to pass, so they had to walk single file. Bai Ye led the way, pulling Fang Yuxin’s wrist firmly but not enough to hurt her.

Concerned about potential complications, they moved very quickly. In less than a minute, they had covered two hundred meters. Once reaching the opposite side, both let out a sigh of relief. Then Fang Yuxin petted the bud of Red Powder, signaling it could come over.

Upon receiving her signal, Red Powder immediately pulled its roots from the ground and shot towards the other side like a bolt of electricity, eventually becoming a small speck and returning to Fang Yuxin’s body.

It conveyed to Fang Yuxin its need to "sleep," then fell into a deep slumber. Fang Yuxin, seeing its dimmed body, knew it had strained itself.

Though Red Powder was a mutant plant, it could not stretch its body indefinitely due to its level. However, it had received a large amount of pure Wood Energy this time. It used only a small portion of this energy, sinking the rest into its body, waiting to fully absorb it for a successful promotion.

This deep slumber was due to the recent over-extension that had shaken its foundation; it needed to properly repair its body. Secondly, it needed to completely absorb the pure Wood Energy to advance to Level 3.

Fang Yuxin thought for a moment, then sent Red Powder into the spirit field in Qingmu Spiritual Mansion to recuperate well. Then, she said to Bai Ye, "Let’s get going quickly!"

Bai Ye, however, frowned disapprovingly and pulled her back, saying, "You’ve just exhausted too much energy; you must recover first." They still had a considerable distance from the hotel, and anything could happen on the road, just like the recent attack they had encountered from mutant sparrows. It would be too dangerous for Fang Yuxin to start traveling without regaining her strength!

Bai Ye insisted firmly. Though Fang Yuxin was extremely anxious, she had no choice but to obediently take Bai Ye back to the grand hall of Qingmu Spiritual Mansion and take out a Crystal Core to absorb energy.

Bai Ye, seeing her meditating and recovering, let out a slight sigh of relief and also took out a Crystal Core to absorb energy. Although his exhaustion was not as great as Fang Yuxin’s, there was time at hand and the road ahead was still uncertain; Bai Ye naturally wanted to ensure he was in the best possible condition.

This time, they were merely replenishing Spiritual Energy and not meditating deeply, so it did not take too long—about an hour later, they both had regained full strength and left Qingmu Spiritual Mansion together.

Their current location was originally a three-way intersection, but during the land split, most of the road surface had fragmented and fallen into the crevice, leaving only a narrow edge.

The area they were standing in was farmland, also full of cracks, making it temporarily impossible for them to bike and forcing them to walk.

After walking a while, they finally reached a roadway. However, the road conditions were also poor, with various sizes of cracks appearing at intervals.

This time, Fang Yuxin did not act tough but took out a motorcycle, and the two of them hit the road again. (To be continued.
