"Let's just run away!" Terry shouted. "It's Minor Boss of the 25th floor!"
As soon as his words left his mouth, the Crazy Lashing Tree Monster shot its roots out towards them with incredible speed.
The roots were sharp and spiky—they were much more dangerous than any man-made whip.
Its roots headed towards the weaker of the two—straight at Terry—who couldn't do anything except watch in horror.
At that moment, Adam jumped in front of the flying roots and covered himself with his flower-petaled wings, shielding both him and Terry.
The roots smashed against the wings and disintegrated into harmless dust.
The wings couldn't be broken through!
Adam unfurled the wings and landed back on the ground, breathing heavily but with a small smile playing on his lips.
He looked at his wings and smirked. "I love these…"
"M-maybe I'll leave after all…" Terry said and started climbing back up towards the ground. "Don't you dare to die!"
