The fragments of banyan leaves were extremely destructive; in no time, the roots that had been binding and entangled Leng Yuexiu were completely swept away.

After confirming that no roots or parasitic tendrils had pierced Leng Yuexiu's body, Bai Mengyan finally withdrew her time-stopping ability.

Because she forcibly activated her time-based abilities, all the energy she had painstakingly recovered during this period was completely dissipated.

Without the freeze of time, Leng Yuexiu lost control and fell straight into Bai Mengyan's arms.

Those who were nearby were shocked. Everyone had thought that once the giant cocoon of roots was broken, Leng Yuexiu would return to normal.

According to Yan Lina, he voluntarily forced himself into a state of hibernation, so there was no reason why he should be rescued and still not wake up.

Bai Mengyan held Leng Yuexiu's chin with one hand, causing his face to tilt slightly upwards.

Seeing the edge of the ring peeking out from his lips, she had a sudden thought and gently pushed her lips open with her thumb.

The ring was firmly held in Leng Yuexiu's jaws, with no possibility of it falling off.

Su Jiancheng and Cheng Kaixi, who were nearby, witnessed the entire scene.

"This……"

Su Jiancheng was at a loss, so she took the initiative to direct the other teammates to continue digging while Bai Mengyan used the leaves to crush the huge root cocoon, to see if they could still find the strangler fig tree crystals.

He patted Cheng Kaixi on the shoulder and said, "Take good care of the captain and the little princess."

Before Cheng Kaixi could respond, Su Jiancheng and her teammates sprayed large amounts of copper solution inhibitor onto the broken tree roots.

No matter how much Bai Mengyan called Leng Yuexiu's name or slapped his cheeks, Leng Yuexiu still didn't react.

Bai Mengyan frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

The previous times Leng Yuexiu used the ring to sense space, he was able to have normal conversations, which means that the ring is either hanging on a necklace around his neck or on his hand; in any case, it cannot be in his mouth.

Even if Leng Yuexiu has a strong comprehension ability, he may not be able to directly connect with spatial perception with his mind.

To reiterate, he is not a space-type ability user. To activate the ring's spatial sensing function, he must first use his own ability to convert and activate it.

A direct conversation is much more direct; communicating through thoughts requires further transformation, which is very strenuous for him.

In this special combat environment, time is of the essence, and he had absolutely no reason to use clumsy or ineffective mental communication with Bai Mengyan.

This leads to the conclusion that when Bai Mengyan withdrew her attention and directed the team to break out of the prison,

The final scene shows Leng Yuexiu's arm wrapped in some roots, suggesting that something must have happened to force him to put the ring in his mouth.

Bai Mengyan let Leng Yuexiu lean his upper body against her, and she looked up at Cheng Kaixi, "Kaixi, help me hold his chin."

Cheng Kaixi first released a ball of light that could illuminate the two of them, then grabbed Leng Yuexiu's jawbone.

With the two working together, Leng Yuexiu's jaw clicked softly, and the teeth that were biting the ring finally loosened a crack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Mengyan used her spatial abilities to control the ring and slowly pull it outwards.

Although there would be force feedback when controlling objects with spatial abilities, Bai Mengyan quickly pinched the ring with her fingers when it was mostly exposed to avoid misanalysis due to the excessive strength of her spatial abilities.

When she used her spatial abilities, she sensed a reaction force on the other end of the ring. Now, feeling it with her hand, the effect is even more pronounced.

Bai Mengyan's heart skipped a beat. "There's something hanging on the ring!"

Cheng Kaixi was taken aback, not daring to relax her grip even slightly. "Be careful, don't rush."

The whitening of Cheng Kaixi's knuckles alone is enough to show that Leng Yuexiu's control over his body remains terrifying even when he is in a dormant state.

Bai Mengyan only pulled the ring out to reveal its complete shape. The other end of the ring was tied with a black rope, which was taut and straight, indicating that the thing connected to the other end of the rope was quite heavy.

After the rings were fully revealed, the feedback from the force on Bai Mengyan's hand proved that this was the limit and she couldn't force it.

She was somewhat at a loss, "I can't pull it anymore."

Cheng Kaixi's forehead was covered in sweat. From the light at a certain angle, she could see that the rope went straight to Leng Yuexiu's throat.

Due to the swaying of the body and other factors, the rope left several red marks on the base of the tongue and throat.

"This won't do. Call Deputy Captain Su over to take a look; perhaps he has a solution."

Cheng Kaixi suggested.

Bai Mengyan didn't hesitate at all. The ones who had the best chemistry with Leng Yuexiu were Su Jiancheng and the other teammates in the Chief Battle Team, not counting their reserve members.

"Su Jiancheng!"

Bai Mengyan called out names sternly.

Su Jiancheng stiffened at the back of her neck and suddenly turned around to look at Bai Mengyan and the others.

He was also devastated at this moment. While Bai Mengyan was looking after Leng Yuexiu, he and his teammates tore the huge root cocoon that bound Leng Yuexiu to shreds.

The entire root cocoon was almost hollowed out, but no strangler fig crystals were found, which doesn't make sense.

The strangler figs on the top two layers of the banyan tree's canopy are still robust. If the crystals were here, they couldn't have been moved in such a short time; it doesn't have the intelligence or the flexibility to do so.

When Bai Mengyan called out to him like that, he felt as if his soul was about to leave his body.

Su Jiancheng turned around and quickly returned, "What is it!"

Bai Mengyan stared at him with wide eyes. "There's something hanging on the ring. We checked Leng Yuexiu's pockets, but we didn't find any tree crystals."

She said with certainty, "I suspect he swallowed the tree crystal. Let's think of something!"

Su Jiancheng's expression froze, and he stood there stunned, his hand unconsciously groping for Leng Yuexiu's chest.

His breathing was a little rapid. "I understand. Xiao Cheng, help me lift the boss up and make him stand up. You support him from behind."

Bai Mengyan helped Cheng Kaixi pull Leng Yuexiu up. Su Jiancheng held Leng Yuexiu's chin with one hand and took over from Bai Mengyan with the other, hooking her index finger into the ring.

"excuse me."

He murmured to himself, as if speaking to himself.

He then withdrew his hand from Leng Yuexiu's chin, and with a swift punch, used his knuckles to strike different points on Leng Yuexiu's chest and abdomen.

Cheng Kaixi, supporting Leng Yuexiu's body, was almost knocked back by this brute force.

He withstood all of Su Jiancheng's pressure, stubbornly remaining rooted to the spot.

After punching him several times, Su Jiancheng pulled Leng Yuexiu by the collar, and Leng Yuexiu unconsciously leaned forward. The speed was so fast that even Cheng Kaixi was not prepared.

Su Jiancheng's hand chop was fast and ruthless, slashing Leng Yuexiu's neck and back several times.

The series of actions performed on Leng Yuexiu caused her body to instinctively spasm and vomit.

Su Jiancheng slipped the ring off her finger and caught Leng Yuexiu as he fell forward.

A crisp sound of hard objects colliding rang out in the air, which was then drowned out by the sound of Leng Yuexiu kneeling on the ground.

Leng Yuexiu's suffocating voice rang out, followed by a coughing sound. He braced himself on the ground with his palms, his eyes bulging as if bloodshot.
