Tao Fengnian staggered over to Jiang Yuebai, handed her a healing pill, and grasped the Locking Scythe, half-kneeling on the ground.
The roars of the monster beasts drew closer, and the tremors in the ground became more pronounced. Jiang Yuebai nervously gripped the sleeve of Tao Fengnian's robe.
"Don't be afraid, Grandfather is here."
Glancing at the wooden box beside him, Tao Fengnian decisively took out a Gu worm and swallowed it.
The Gu worm ignited within him like a fierce fire, sending waves of heat sweeping through his body. Tao Fengnian felt invigorated, all fatigue vanished, and he could no longer feel any pain.
He stood up again, gripping the Locking Scythe tightly. "Little girl, thirty miles north is the patrol boundary of the Heavenly Interence Sect. Grandfather will help you break through the encirclement; go and seek reinforcements."
Jiang Yuebai's small hands trembled. Though she knew seeking aid was unlikely, she bit her lips and nodded.
