With a pained cry from Xin Huohuo, a rock imbued with wood energy suddenly smashed over, piercing through the barrier. She didn't seem to dodge and was struck squarely in the back. If she had a physical body, an injury this severe would have surely made her cough up blood.
She collapsed on impact, making the barrier even harder to maintain. With nothing to stop them, rocks of all sizes rained down from an invisible gap that had formed in the corner.
She could only struggle to shrink the barrier's range, but it was no use. Soon, her injuries multiplied until she couldn't even stand.
The wood spirit, which had been watching from the side, finally smiled and slowly walked over.
"You dare to fight me, human?" the wood spirit said smugly.
"What are you doing? Don't come over here! Go away! Don't you touch me, go away, go away!" Xin Huohuo squirmed backward, curling into a tighter ball and turning her head away.
