Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 1104

Chapter 1104: Chapter 797: Totem (2)

That tree had long disappeared.

The dune was still that dune, the moonlight was still that moonlight, but that bone-like tree seemed never to have existed.

That dreamy and peculiar bone tree, as if it only existed in the legendary murals, seemed to be an illusion conjured by their imagination.

Everyone’s back felt a chilly sensation.

Suddenly, someone gasped and their voice trembled, "Wait, Captain... That tree, shaped like bones... Could it be the ’Moonlit White Bones’ that the Big Boss is seeking?"

The line from the ballad, "The branches of Moonlit White Bones point in all directions," precisely matched what they encountered tonight.

Upon realizing this, everyone drew in a sharp breath.

"Quick! Return to the city immediately! Report to the Big Boss!"

A group of feathered beasts couldn’t care less about their fatigue; their wings flapped noisily as they hurriedly dashed towards Sky City under the cover of night.

Back to Shen Tang and the Beast Husbands, for nearly a month, they crossed four or five deserts but found nothing, not even a trace.

Just as Shen Tang began to doubt whether they took the wrong path, word suddenly came from Sang Tian that there was progress at Sky City, and someone discovered traces of "Moonlit White Bones."

They swiftly turned back, heading straight for Sky City, and upon reaching the city, went immediately to the palace to see the Big Boss.

Upon seeing Shen Tang, Mo Yan didn’t fuss over past matters anymore. His daughter staying with Shen Tang was safe, sparing him the worry.

He knew the purpose of Shen Tang’s visit and got straight to the point by calling over the dispatched team,

"Tell this esteemed female everything you encountered in the desert, leaving nothing out."

"Yes, Big Boss." The captain, a dusty eagle clan beastman in his forties, respectfully greeted Shen Tang and the Beast Husbands, recounting their desert encounter in detail.

They went to the Sallos Desert, but couldn’t remember the exact route.

The entire team lost direction at the time, their instruments malfunctioned, and they stumbled upon the bone-like tree, which disappeared when they looked back... so he could only provide an approximate account, without certainty over the location.

Shen Tang listened and understood the situation.

Having clues was better than having none, at least they now had a target, unlike before when she was clueless; it boosted her confidence.

To verify the truth, they’d need to go there personally.

Thus, without bothering to rest, Shen Tang and the Beast Husbands bid goodbye to the City Lord and headed straight for the rumored Sallos Desert.

After several days of travel, they reached the desert’s edge, where a wall of heat hit them head-on, and the scorching white sands filled the air with no trace of moisture, making it feel like their throats were smoking. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"It’s so hot." Shen Tang felt overwhelmed by the heat, fanning herself with her hand.

The temperature there seemed hotter than the previous desert they visited.

If it weren’t for her replication of Yue Lin’s ice ability that allowed her to create an ice shield for herself and the Beast Husbands, the harsh weather would’ve been unbearable.

Shen Tang increasingly missed Jia Lan.

She remembered the summers when she always complained about the heat, and Jia Lan would joyfully prepare iced fruit juices for her.

When he was around, no matter how hot it was, it felt refreshing.

Wondering how he’s doing now, and where that dog Liu Ye might be.

And Xue Yinzhou, during summer nights Shen Tang loved to hug him to sleep, cool and soothing, naturally reducing the heat.

Wondering when he will awaken.
