I had not yet reacted when I just wanted to quickly catch up with the Master of the Valley.
My mother came over, her tone harsh as she shouted, "Zhou Ming, what are you doing?"
As she spoke, she noticed the split tree trunk, her expression changed, and she hurried over.
She picked up the severed limbs from the ground and quickly placed them back into the crack of the tree. "Zhou Ming, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill your father?"
With that, she slapped me across the face.
I covered my face, blood trickling from the corner of my mouth.
My mother grabbed my head and pressed me against the withered tree. "Do you know? These are your father's lifeline!"
"You almost ruined everything!"
"Zhou Ming, do you realize this was all exchanged for your sister?"
She seized my hand and made a quick cut with a knife, blood flowing out instantly.
She pressed my hand against the roots of the tree, and those wilted flowers began to revive at an astonishing speed.
"Mother, it hurts," I pleaded.
My mother glared at me fiercely. "Hurts? If you don't like it, then go die, or let your father die!"
She raised the knife again, ready to make another cut.
A tear rolled down from the corner of my eye.
The Master of the Valley emerged from the shadows. "That's enough."
My mother was startled upon seeing him and quickly knelt on the ground. "Master of the Valley, I..."
He looked at her coldly. "This time I'll let it go, but if I catch you again next time, there will be no mercy."
My mother collapsed to the ground, her body trembling violently.
The Master of the Valley turned to leave. "Zhou Ming, help me back; it's too stuffy here."
I nodded and helped him leave valley.
Before leaving, I turned back for a glance, and my mother’s malicious gaze was fixed on me. I couldn't help but shudder.
The leader of the valley stopped in his tracks. "Your mother will make her move tonight!"
"Why?" I asked, confused.
He patted my head gently. "If I'm not mistaken, your mother has been using your sister to nourish the Tree Spirit. Now that Zhou Xin is dead, the Tree Spirit can no longer sustain your father's life. She must seek another way."
"And you are her next target."
Hearing his words, I was so frightened that I fell to my knees. "Leader, please save me!"
A look of hesitation crossed his face. I clung to her legs and cried, "Leader, I beg you, help me! I don't want to die!"
With a sigh, the leader pulled out a small bottle from her robe and handed it to me. "Go to your father's room and destroy the Tree Spirit's focal point; the crisis will resolve itself."
I took the bottle carefully in my hands. "Thank you, Leader."
She stroked my head softly. "Hurry now."
I nodded and bid farewell to the leader as I made my way to my father's room.
As soon as I entered, I was startled by the sight of trees filling the room. These trees were completely different from those in valley; their branches were longer and thicker, moving with greater speed.
They all leaned toward one direction—the large tree in the center of the room.
That was the focal point.
Just as I was about to step closer, I suddenly heard my mother's voice: "Who’s in there?"
I quickly hid under the bed.
My mother walked in, scanning the surroundings but finding nothing unusual. She approached the bed and gently caressed my father's face. " husband, don't worry; I will save you."
Then she took out a knife and slashed at her own arm, blood flowing instantly.
She walked to the center of the formation and sprinkled the blood from her hands onto it.
In an instant, all the trees came to life, rushing towards Father and wrapping around him.
Mother watched everything with satisfaction. " husband, you will wake up soon."
After Mother left the room, I finally crawled out from under the bed.
I looked at the bizarre scene before me, feeling a chill run down my spine.
