Chapter 17: Perils of the Wombroot Vine
The next morning, Shen Xinghui and Ignatius set out later than planned.
It was mainly because Shen Xinghui had trouble waking up.
After a whole night, his body ached, and he couldn't get up.
Ignatius had to use a healing spell, "Heal," to finally help him.
"It seems the physical damage was quite severe. I'm sorry I didn't notice it last night," Ignatius said with an apologetic expression.
"No, it's not your fault," Shen Xinghui replied. "I didn't even realize it myself."
With Ignatius's help, Shen Xinghui finally made it out of the forest.
Occasionally, he would heard howling sounds from distance, which made him flinch, but Ignatius who is walking beside him, would laugh and reassure him, saying, "It's quite far away."
"By the way, that plant that caught me yesterday—what exactly was it trying to do to me?" Shen Xinghui suddenly had the question and decided to ask.
