Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 1103

Chapter 1103: Chapter 797: Totem

Everyone heard those words as if they had suddenly come to life, propped themselves up from the ground, and looked over there.

Not far away on the dune, there silently stood a giant white bone carcass, like the skeleton of some behemoth, as tall as twenty or thirty meters.

The moonlight fell upon it, casting a faintly shimmering silver glow, strikingly awe-inspiring in the pitch-black night.

"What... what is this? How come I didn’t see it before?"

"I didn’t see when it appeared either. My God, could it be that we’ve run into a ghost?"

"What ghost, there’s no such thing as ghosts in this world. Stop the nonsense, let’s go take a look!" The captain led the group towards it.

Only upon getting closer did they realize it wasn’t bones at all; it was an ancient tree.

The tree was entirely corpse-white, with its trunk, branches, even the thinnest twigs, all bone-colored. Under the moonlight, from afar, it looked just like a skeletal framework stabbed into the sand.

"What... what kind of tree is this? Why have I never seen it before? It looks so strange."

Someone wanted to reach out and touch it, but the captain quickly pulled them back, scolding, "Do you have a death wish? Don’t touch anything until we figure it out."

In this dangerous desert, crises are everywhere; one might vanish in an instant. For such a bizarre tree to suddenly appear in the desert, it might very well be poisonous, specifically hunting passing Beastmen.

The young Beastman quickly withdrew his hand, his face slightly pale.

An eagle-eyed Beastman circled the tree twice and suddenly remarked, "Captain, look at its main branch, it seems a bit peculiar."

This tree’s branches crisscrossed, yet four main branches could be distinguished from the trunk. Compared to other branches, these four had a lighter color, exhibiting an almost transparent jade-like sheen.

The four main branches extended in four different directions, remaining unmoved despite the blowing sand.

"Could this tree... perhaps indicate direction?" someone blurted out.

But just as excitement was mounting, someone doused it with cold water, "Are you crazy, relying on a tree for direction? It’s probably a coincidence! Besides, even if this tree could guide us, what good does it do? We can’t tell north, south, east, west, who knows which direction it’s pointing."

The captain remained silent, circling the tree once more.

Indeed, even if the branches pointed to the cardinal directions, they couldn’t discern their location. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
