The enormous tree and Zhen Xiu were both in a stalemate. After all, they were both trying to measure each other by hiding their traces but were caught instead.The enormous tree was hopping slowly and was trying to go back, Zhen Xiu was also planning to retreat incase the unknown tree attacked her, she could not be sure of the three without knowing its ident.i.ty and character.
It could be either a friend or a foe of hers.
But a thought stocked her mind– why was she hiding from it? She could directly confront it.
The response of the tree I would give her the appropriate result on how she should treat it again afterward.
It was so easy yet she was behaving like a fool and wasting her time. After coming in this world Zhen Xiu has been incompetent with too much free time and good people around her that she was delayed by her emotions.
This was not her personality. She was not like this before.
It was true that catastrophe was necessarily the best way to become a good and able person.
Most of the time the desire to live and dangerous people around gives us deep lessons in life.
Zhen Xiu was able to become a genius, a capable person and the most talented warrior because of the harsh conditions given to her from her childhood.
All those things have ultimately helped her in living her life well. They formed her. It was her foundation that made her who she was now.
Zhen Xiu decided then and there that she would not hide away from her troubles again and would fight head-on against her enemies just like before.
She was too much depending on her spiritual power rather than believing in her own.
Yes, she would not hide like a coward.
The humongous tree was about to disappear from her vision again.
Zhen Xiu shouted in alarm. "Stop! Right there!!!"
The shout was loud enough that it scared the enormous tree despite its huge size.
It was still a toddler that was curious and wanted to see the big world. Her appearance in this world gave him new ideas and a big wave of curiosity.
Zhen Xiu saw the hesitation in his movements and was guessing that this tree of unknown origin was not that dangerous otherwise it would have done something to her without waiting.
"Can you understand my words? I am Zhen Xiu. Who are you? Can you tell me?"
Zhen Xiu tried her luck in hopes of getting a definite answer from the tree. Even if it was not completely true she could get some information from this green vegetation.
She was trying to seek some information as it seems like a good idea. If she was lucky enough, she would get appropriate answers.
Although the tree stopped in between haste it did not respond to her, Zhen Xiu patiently waited for him to show some signal if it heard her.
The tree wanted to respond but was not capable enough to form words and say something in return to the unknown person.
"Hey! Are you listening to me? I am talking to you. Big tree! Say something."
Zhen Xiu tried different methods to make him speak up but he was still standing silently at its original place.
She could see that the tree was not malicious towards her as it kept on peeking at her.
Then, why was it not saying something?
Could it be that it can"t speak?
If this is the case then communicating with this humongous tree would be difficult.
"Ah! You can"t speak. If I am right wave your leaves and if I"m wrong then stay still."
The tree immediately started shaking its leaves and was hyperactive within a few seconds.
This was the confirmation that Zhen Xiu needed.
"Okay, I will ask you some questions if you know then shake your leaves and if you don"t know then stay still." Zhen Xiu suggested.
The tree swayed again.
Zhen Xiu: "Do you stay here?"
Tree: (....)
It remained silent.
"You don"t stay here." She changed her sentence.
The tree shook its leaves.
If the tree does not stay here then how is it present inside the dimension?
Does it know about this world and the other world outside this place?
The mannerism of the tree was similar to that of a child. Could it be that her a.s.sumptions were right regarding this humongous tree being Lu Jian"s stepbrother?
The tree inched closer towards Zhen Xiu as it saw her frowning and silently standing away.
The tree wanted to play with her again. This shaking and stopping game was funny. The tree liked it very much. The tree was always alone in this place and had no one around it.
Zhen Xiu crossed her fingers and bravely asked, "You are a child."
The tree was about to surprise her suddenly halted in its way and shook his leaves again.
The tree was happy that they had started the game again.
Zhen Xiu: "Your mother? Who is she?"
Tree: "…."
It stood again and did not show any movements.
Zhen Xiu frowned. Was this question too difficult for it to answer?
Ah! It"s too difficult to communicate with a mute.
The tree was silent because it didn"t even know who his mother was so he was confused about what to do? He didn"t know about this.
Zhen Xiu took his silence as a sign of his intelligence.
In the middle of questioning Zhen Xiu didn"t even realize that the area was soon turning dark. It was the arrival of night. She had unknowingly spent her entire day inside the dimension.
Zhen Xiu was dejected as she could not find anything more from the tree. She didn"t even know the exit of this place. The tree doesn"t know how to speak.
Ugh! Looks like her good luck has expired after coming inside this rubbish place.
She had to find a way to go out as soon as possible since there was nothing else other than this tree and the forest in this place.
According to the energy she felt before entering the s.p.a.ce she thought that it might be some bigger world but it was just a closed s.p.a.ce suitable for storing living objects just like this tree.
She was seriously thinking too much about the presence of external powers in this world. Everything outside this place was already exaggerated, if there will be more things then the enemy might not need to hide and would directly try to kill her.
"Do you know the exit of this place?" Zhen Xiu asked trying to test her luck.
It would be good if the tree knew about the exit but if it doesn"t know then she will find it on her own.
However the tree this time started shaking furiously and instantly rushed near her. Before she could even think about anything else the tree opened its mouth and clamped her hand hard.
"s.h.i.+t!"
Zhen Xiu cried in pain. This tree was so sly. It was a carnivore and trying to eat her yet it was pretending like an innocent child and was playing her mind. She should have asked the tree first whether it was a vegetarian or not.
Who will save her now?
