An Understated Dominance (Maria Vittori) novel Chapter 1954

The group traveled through a desolate expanse of endless sand, a monotonous scene void of life.

However, a surprising change awaited them as the barren landscape transformed into a vibrant oasis filled with flowers, plants, and trees.

It was a stark contrast to the lifeless terrain they had just crossed. Up ahead, an expansive and endless forest emerged, an unusual sight in the expectedly barren Deadlands.

The sudden appearance of this flourishing oasis left them in awe.

The oasis ahead looked like two different worlds. On one side, yellow sand stretched out, barren and desolate. On the other side, lush greenery extended as far as the eye could see.

"Wow! Who'd have thought we'd find this in the middle of Deadlands?"

"Is this really an oasis? It looks more like a forest!"

"With all these green trees, sweet-smelling grass, and blooming flowers, it's like stumbling upon a hidden paradise!"

Amid their amazement at this unexpected sight, the group couldn't contain their astonishment.

The earlier oasis they had come across was a grove with a pond and diverse flora and fauna.

Yet, the oasis standing before them now resembled a forest, presenting an extraordinary spectacle with its expansive and flourishing landscape.

"Captain, remember when we ventured into the Deadlands last year? There was no trace of this oasis, right?

"It's mind-boggling how much has transformed in just a year!" the short-haired girl from the Black Scorpion Squad commented.
