Chapter 299: Wishing Each Other Well
A bird flew over the icy, snowy landscape. After enduring countless freezing weather, and having flown for half a day, it finally landed in its owner’s hands.
Lin Xi gently raised her hand, and the bird perched on her delicate, jade-like fingers. Lin Xi smiled in satisfaction, tenderly stroking the bird’s feathers. She appeared to cherish it greatly.
Finally, Lin Xi ordered someone to cage the bird. Her eyes grew serious as she commented, "Gu Fan and the others sure have a lot of life in them."
"What happened? Did something bad occur?" Qin Jia asked anxiously. After all, Gu Fan and the others were considered comrades in her heart. The bond formed through adversity was not easily broken.
Lin Xi uttered a warning, "Everyone needs to be cautious, especially during blizzard-like conditions. If you hear any strange noises, cover your ears immediately. If anyone appears to lose their minds, you must not let them run wild."
"What’s going on and why give this command? Does it have anything to do with Gu Fan and their group’s encounter?" Du Jun asked nervously, sensing an ominous tone.
Lin Xi nodded her head, "Gu Fan and his group ran into the evil tree. The seeds of this tree are special; they thrive in cold weather, growing in snow-covered lands. Its roots can spread vastly, surfacing in its surroundings. Numerous tree trunks spring from the seed as their center. On the surface, it appears as a small grove, but in reality, all these trees are connected at one place. The crucial point is that after absorbing the flesh and blood of animals or humans, the seed can transform in shape."
Qin Jia trembled in fear, "You’re kidding! That’s so dangerous. How come we have never heard of this before?"
Lin Xi sighed, "There are many unusual creatures in this world that go unreported. Many things, like dinosaurs, fade into oblivion over time. But I did not think that this tree would be found here."
