Just as Xiao Chen was checking on the child he had carried to the side, the ground started to quiver violently.
A giant tree, on the brink of falling, tilted towards the vicinity of Xiao Moli.
Xiao Chen's pupils constricted, but there wasn't enough time for him to rush over.
Due to their determination not to disturb Xiao Moli, they had already retreated from that area.
Xiao Chen only had time to shout out once.
"Moli, watch out."
Upon hearing the warning, Xiao Moli quickly raised his head to see a large tree crushing down towards them. They were standing just ahead of a pile of rocks; he had to protect An Ziqi, leaving him with no escape.
In his haste, the only thing he could do was to tightly envelop An Ziqi within his arms. Unable to rise from the ground in time, he quickly dodged out to the side.
Half of the tree licked his back and struck it directly.
Xiao Moli's entire body jerked upon impact, dropping to a half-kneel on the floor while appearing pale.
