Sophie's heart skipped a beat as her enhanced vision that could penetrate a few feet into the ground saw thick vine-like roots slowly making their way upwards.
Lily was trapped in the middle of a death trap!
There was no time to waste.
Sophie gritted her teeth and pumped the last threads of qi from her dantian to her legs in order to activate the 'Cloud Treading Dragon' technique.
She could feel a sharp burst of pain spreading through her meridians as the negative side effects of qi exhaustion started to kick in.
White spots blinked in and out of existence along the corners of Sophie's vision and an intense feeling of exhaustion began to spread throughout her body.
"No… I…can't faint now…" the hybrid girl whispered darkly as she bent her knees.
Lily was huddled in the shape of a tiny ball with a faint translucent barrier surrounding her body.
