Chapter 53: Ambushed

There had been no rain recently, and the leaves as far as the eye could see were dry, completely devoid of dewdrops.

Seeing this, they all had little hope.

Yet Bai Junjun was different. She deliberately distanced herself from the others, lightly touching the tree trunk and easily connected with the tree.

During its growth, the tree relied on water transpired from its roots to be transported to the trunk and leaves, with a water content that reached 80%, much higher than that in the human body.

Many people, extremely thirsty, would cut the bark to drink the sap from the trees, but this water, unrefined and likely unpleasant in taste, could also contain toxic substances, so unless absolutely necessary, people would not cut the trees to extract water.

However, these were not problems for Bai Junjun, who could intervene within the tree to separate and purify the water as her most basic operation.
