It was terrifying, the axe that shimmered with a cold light seemed sharp enough to chop off their heads.
But there was no other way, trapped by the Five-clawed Vine, this was the only method to rescue them. Even if the root of the vine were killed, the tightly curled tendrils wouldn't reopen; they had to be cut, and a sharp axe was exactly what they needed at the moment.
Firefighter's axes were not suitable, too big and long; a small axe that could be tucked into a belt was handier.
Ye Nai found the right spot to strike, and with each blow, the men and women trapped below screamed.
The vine was so thick that the small axe couldn't cut through it in one swing, nor did she dare to use enough force to do so for fear of not being able to stop in time. If she couldn't, the five people below would truly be smashed to a pulp.
"Hurry, help her pull the vine!"
"Find something! Get something to cushion it!"
