Wen Yu climbed over to Sun Ruixing's side with great effort, feeling Sun Ruixing's neck.
It was all blood!
Wen Yu didn’t know the extent of Sun Ruixing's injuries, but just looking at the amount of blood lost, it was already a miracle that Sun Ruixing had managed to hold on until now!
Fortunately, Sun Ruixing still had a faint pulse.
With a strong pull, Wen Yu dragged the Fourth Prince, who was not far away, and laid him on his back.
Then he crawled in the direction they had moved just moments ago.
The scorching yellow sand continuously burned Wen Yu's remaining internal organs. Fortunately, due to the ability of the Flesh and Blood Chapter, the toughness of his organs was extraordinary; otherwise, just crawling would have been enough to cause them to fall out!
Using only his hands to crawl, Wen Yu's speed wasn’t fast, nearly just as fast as an ordinary person running at full speed. Moreover, he couldn’t see, so he could only crawl towards what Sun Ruixing had described as the direction of the silver light based on his instincts!
This was undoubtedly a torment!
Because Wen Yu had no way of knowing if he was going in the right direction. Even a slight deviation would mean death for everyone!
It was possible that his efforts were in vain!
But there was no choice!
Just like Big Bear's resolute self-detonation.
Just like the monkey who held off three third-tier demonic creatures on his own.
Just like William's desperate counterattack.
Just like Jiang Wentao and Chu Ziling's generous sacrifice.
Just like Sun Ruixing, who, as a second-tier, stubbornly brought everyone's hopes to the brink of success.
On the shattered Shan Lan Star, one person carried a child on his back, like a worm, moving forward with the will to survive and the hopes of all those who had sacrificed themselves!
Then, Wen Yu felt warmth and hope.
...
A warm sensation filled Wen Yu's entire body.
Then, a white light gradually appeared before his eyes.
The first thing he saw was the treasure land guardian, with silver hair, sitting high on a chair in front of him!
Wen Yu slowly surveyed his surroundings.
What caught his eye was a space the size of a soccer field, along with seven figures enveloped in glowing orbs.
"This is a light of healing, a reward for you."
"And thank you..."
The slightly melancholic words from the treasure land guardian left Wen Yu speechless.
"You don't need to thank me; you should thank those who protected you with their lives."
Wen Yu had some guesses in his heart, and upon hearing the treasure land guardian's words, he immediately understood.
The treasure land guardian sitting in the chair was the Fourth Prince, the last hope of Shan Lan Star!
"Though all of this is fake, I still want to say thank you."
Wen Yu nodded slightly.
"Since everything is fake, does that mean the dead are just fake dead?"
The Fourth Prince slowly shook his head.
"Real death, the environment and events, even my mother, are all fake, all illusions I created. But the demonic creatures are real, so death is also real!"
"Mm."
Wen Yu nodded.
"Isn't it said that the treasure land guardian cannot harm practitioners in any way? So what's going on now? Is this murder? Or are you just messing with us?"
The Fourth Prince looked at Wen Yu with a very indifferent and calm gaze.
"The trial has been prepared; the content and difficulty of the trial are automatically generated based on the practitioners' strength. My role is merely to guide and create illusions, just like I showed you the prologue of a movie. So, for those who died, I'm sorry, but this is not my fault!"
Before the Fourth Prince could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Yu's roar!
"Then what’s the use of saying thanks?!"
"People are dead; you should go thank hell!"
As soon as Wen Yu's roar ended, he pushed through the healing light and lunged towards the Fourth Prince.
Then, he was gently pushed back by a soft force.
"This isn't my fault, is it?"
The Fourth Prince's indifferent voice rang out.
"I've already warned you; behind greed is destruction. You didn't believe it, and they didn't believe it. You all overestimated your strength!"
