Armed with a handy weapon, he breathed a little easier, only to find that the branches shooting around him had almost formed a gigantic cage, its four walls steadily closing in on him!
The cage was covered in sharp wooden thorns; once trapped, the outcome would certainly be dire!
While continuously hacking away the approaching branches with his sword, Bai Ye worriedly glanced towards Fang Yuxin, transmitting to her with Spiritual Sense, "Xinxin! What's wrong with you? Wake up, quickly!"
After he spoke, he suddenly noticed a slight flicker in Fang Yuxin's gaze. The dense, ink-like blackness in the depths of her eyes seemed to tremble momentarily, but then quickly stabilized again.
Bai Ye understood that she had heard his words, but just that one sentence wasn't enough to rouse her from her state.
Thus, Bai Ye transmitted to her again, almost without ceasing.
"Xinxin, wake up quickly!"
"Xinxin, have you forgotten about Qianqian? He's still waiting for you in Beishi City!"
