By the time Gu Qing and her people charged forward, Tang Ruan and the others could barely stand.
They were exhausted.
Especially Tang Ruan, whose steps were unsteady, her body covered in slime.
After Gu Qing and her group took over, the others struggled to take a few steps back before collapsing to the ground, panting heavily.
But Tang Ruan didn't even have the strength to retreat.
Zhao Chi rushed forward and carried the slimy Tang Ruan out of the danger zone.
Tang Ruan gasped for breath in Zhao Chi's arms, her breathing rapid.
Zhao Chi wiped the slime from her face.
He looked at her with a pained expression.
"This is the final stage. We can rest soon."
Tang Ruan shook her head, flinging slime from her hair onto Zhao Chi's face.
"No... I'm fine... *huff*~"
Zhao Chi laid her down gently so she could rest properly.
He swallowed a Spiritual Power Pill, stood up again, and began to use Encourage.
Zhao Chi wanted to charge in and fight, too.
