The Tree Demon swung its branches, with leaves transforming into a rain of feathers, pouring down.

Sif leapt forward, wanting to use her armor to protect Roland.

"Dodge!"

How could Roland let her take the hit with her armor? Who knows if these damn leaves were poisonous?

He held Sif, rolling quickly and ungracefully to evade the assault of leaf storm.

A fierce wind rose from nowhere, as the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon swayed its crown, the surrounding trees danced along, stirring up gusts of strange winds, enveloping Roland and Sif in the center.

The ring on Roland's index finger shattered with a "bang," and a pale green protective shield formed in place, shielding Roland and Sif.

His expression changed slightly.

This was a gift from shopping at the Magic Association.

Shop owner Sura's smile seemed like yesterday, "This ring itself has no offensive power, it will shatter automatically when you suffer fatal damage, forming a protective shield to block some of the damage."

In other words, could the damage just now have killed him?

Roland dared not delay, he grabbed Sif's hand and ran towards the valley's exit at the fastest speed of his life.

Perhaps the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon hadn't anticipated that Roland could escape this deadly blow, and its subsequent attacks all missed.

The other Tree Demons dancing along were far less powerful than the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon and couldn't stop Roland and Sif at all.

Roland and Sif threw Blast Burn Bombs chaotically, taking the opportunity to escape.

The flames sparked by the Blast Burn Bombs caused the Tree Demons to scream in fear.

They frantically sprayed sap, barely extinguishing the flames, but those two damned humans were already nowhere to be seen.

The Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon watched Roland and Sif escape with their lives and sighed, unable to conceal its suffering.

Humans were far less powerful than the Elf in memory, but they had legs.

As Roland said, they might not be able to defeat the trees but they could destroy the forest.

The blazing fire could burn the valley to ashes.

The Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon decided to act after observing and judging it could kill the humans and dispose of the bodies easily.

Humans became suspicious, and even if it didn't act, they would be devoured completely.

It had to act to have a slim chance of survival.

However, it miscalculated the opponent's strength, and the result of this miscalculation was death.

In the valley, trees and flowers swayed their branches and leaves, communicating silently.

They had ways to convey thoughts to each other.

The Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon was particularly pained, "Children, it's my fault, I have harmed you."

"No, Chief, this is not your fault, this is our fate!"

The flowers and trees mourned silently.

"Chief, immediately release your lifeblood, hide it in the earth, and there is still a chance of revival!"

"I have revived three times, and each time the ending was destruction; even if I revive again, it would be no different."

The aging voice of the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon carried a hint of sadness, soon replaced by anger.

"Children, there is not much time left. This time I decide to face death with you together. Even in death, don't let humans gain any benefit!"

"Chief, we are always with you!" the flowers and trees roared silently.

...

Under the moonlight, Roland and Sif climbed on horseback, whipping the reins hard.

"Damn Tree Demon!" Roland's face was like water, murderous intent evident.

Ordinary flames could not burn the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon; he needed allies.

Cross-species communication was meaningless.

Only iron, blood, and fire could secure survival space.

Sif lay quietly on the horse's back, as if asleep.

Lola, seeing her slender body limp, called out repeatedly.

Sif's voice was as soft as a mosquito, "Don't make noise, I'm fine, just poisoned."

Poisoned yet saying it's fine?

Roland quickly jumped over to catch Sif who was falling off the horse.

He struck a match, casting a small halo of light.

Sif's face was green like a tree, vibrant, she squeezed out a smile, painful but beautiful.

"Would you be sad if I die?"

"For God's sake, shut up!" Roland held her, took out all the medication stored in the Silver Armor, but couldn't find anything to counteract the Tree Demon poison.

No matter how abnormal a person is, they wouldn't carry antidotes for non-existent creatures on them.

In a flash of inspiration, Roland thought of the Elf in the Flower Sea.

He comforted Sif, softly instructing, "I'm going to Dreamland to find an antidote, be quiet and don't disturb me."

Huh?

Sif struggled to open her eyes, seeing Roland just sitting there, sleeping while holding her.

At a time like this, not even a few farewell words, and he fell asleep?

The soon-to-die Sif was very angry, she decided not to die yet.

Even if she had to die, it would have to wait until this jerk woke up.

Sif viciously bit her wrist, watching the already green blood flow out.

This could delay death, the price would be a damaged body and an ugly death after death.

She had intended to die in the most beautiful posture, but it fell short.

Sif didn't shake Roland like a fool, calling out loud, but watched him enter a dream on the spot.

Her trust in Roland was unwavering, no matter how ridiculous the request, as long as it came from Roland, she would oblige.

Hold on a bit longer, Sif!

There are still the most important words yet to be said.

...

In the dream, the Flower Sea.

The man's speed made leopards gape and antelopes dumbfounded.

"Save someone, save someone now!" he shouted as he ran.

Startled by Roland's frantic demeanor, Elf Sylph stood up from the Flower Sea, not even noticing her skirt being lifted, exposing her slender feet completely in front of Roland.

Perfect feet.

Roland couldn't see at all, his vision was a bit hazy, only consciousness remained.

"There's no time to explain, is there a way to detoxify the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon's poison?"

"Poison from the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon? The Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon has no toxins, only an unparalleled detoxification ability."

"Detoxification ability?"

Roland's feet halted, incredulously questioning, "But my companion was hit by the Golden Ginkgo Tree Demon, her face turned green, she seemed doomed."

"That's not poisoning, but over-detoxification. Ah, yes, over-detoxification itself is also a toxin, Roland, Roland?"

Elf Sylph had just lowered her skirt, looking up to find no one in front of her.

Roland opened his eyes.

He understood.

The Golden Tree Demon's detoxification power was too strong, and Sif wasn't poisoned, so the special substance used for detoxification started indiscriminately destroying the closest thing to poison in her body.

Without hesitation, he took out a poison pill and pressed it to Sif's lips.

"Eat!"

There was no time to explain, every second was a race against death. By the time he explained, Sif's normal body functions would be completely destroyed, beyond saving.

Of course, Sif knew this was a poison.

The poison Roland fed her took effect quickly, death within five seconds was certain.

Five seconds were enough.

She would say those words and see if this bastard Roland would feel guilty for a lifetime.

Without a hint of hesitation, she opened her mouth and swallowed the pill that would bring death in five seconds.

The poison quickly spread through her body, her face instantly turned black.

"Roland, I..."

"Don't speak, you lived!" Roland pressed her mouth, not letting her waste energy.

Half black, half green in the face, Sif twisted her body in pain, curling into a shrimp ball, hot sweat dripping down, soaking her hair, drenching her clothes.

But she didn't scream out.

In the last few seconds of her life, she didn't want to leave behind ugly memories.

She bit down hard on Roland's hand.

This time she showed no mercy, biting Roland's wrist until it was a bloody mess, countless tooth marks imprinted like a seal on Roland's right wrist.

"Ah!"

Teeth are the body's hardest organ.

This attack was from the strongest organ of a Tier Eight being's body!

Roland certainly couldn't withstand it, instantly bleeding profusely.

"Roland, I..."

"Hahaha, you really survived!"

"Eh? I survived?" Sif was astonished, looking at Roland, stunned on the spot.

"Yes, stand up and move around?"

Sif struggled to her feet, flexing her arms, stretching as if never poisoned.

She exhaled partly, suddenly tensing up, "Am I really unkempt and ugly right now? Turn around, don't look!"

"Of course not, you are always the most beautiful girl in the world, if you don't believe, you can ask the Magic Mirror."

Oh, right, can go home and ask the mirror.

Sif breathed a sigh of relief, yet her gaze turned southward.

"No rush, there's still something to do first."

"What is it?"

"Call your sister, let's burn the trees."
