Shen Tang seemed to hear the panicked cries of the Beast Husbands and suddenly woke up, turning to look—there was no one behind him!
The Beast Husbands had all disappeared.
Xu Xing and the others were also completely gone.
Everyone had vanished.
Yet Shen Tang still stood in the desert, the tree in front of her, the surroundings both familiar and unfamiliar.
The White Bone Tree seemed much younger, not as towering and robust, and its branches did not spread as far.
Not far away, there were occasionally Beastmen dressed in ancient attire coming and going, carrying or dragging goods, clearly merchants traveling far from home.
Although the desert here was also hot and scorching, it was far less harsh than she remembered. Normally, there were still some caravans passing through, though they would still face many dangers. Sometimes, many Beastmen failed to endure and died here.
