Bai Yushan was covered in blood and her clothes were torn to pieces. That was not the worst part. Not only was half of her arm disabled, but even her face, the most important thing for a girl, was ruined - only half of her face was left.

Her face looked like it had been licked by a bear's barbed tongue, leaving only half of it intact and the other half a bloody mess.

"Yours..." Xiao Tangqiu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't bear to say it out loud. After all, for a girl, face is the most important thing, especially a beautiful girl like Bai Yushan.

Yu Fuling and Celluloid turned their heads away at the same time, reluctantly.

Bai Yushan's expression was calm and numb: "I just had a big fight with it and tamed it..."

Xue Junli frowned slightly: "When did you come up?"

"Before the sacred tree was fully grown," Bai Yushan sneered, "while everyone was kneeling and worshipping the sacred tree, I climbed up directly using a climbing rope."

"I see. No wonder you're so much ahead of us," Xiao Tangqiu realized. This was another one of Bai Yushan's unauthorized actions, but it looked like she had done it perfectly this time. "Did you find anything?"

Bai Yushan curled the corners of her lips upon hearing this. Only half of her face was left, so she could only curl the corners of her lips. Her smile was ironic and twisted: "...We were deceived."

"Cheated? What does that mean?" Xiao Tangqiu frowned.

"There's nothing here," Bai Yushan said indifferently. "There's nothing we're looking for. There's only that giant flower. It's deceiving people in order to eat them, yet it makes those it eats worship it devoutly... Those foolish and ignorant people actually think it's some kind of sacred tree!"

Xiao Tangqiu was immediately disappointed: "Is there no special item here to revive Shen Yuan?"

"If I had, I would have resurrected Yuru," Bai Yushan gave Xiao Tangqiu a cold look, "Do you think I don't want to resurrect my sister? I worked so hard for so long just to resurrect her!"

Her expression became excited. "I've done so much! Just to revive her! But I always fail again and again! I'm disappointed again and again! Do you think I don't want to revive her? I want to revive her more than anyone else in this world! She's the only one I have! She's the only relative I have!"

After working so hard for so long, Xiao Tangqiu came to nothing. He felt disheartened, but he still sighed and comforted Bai Yushan: "Next time... next time we will definitely find it! We will definitely be able to... definitely be able to resurrect the person we want to resurrect..."

Bai Yushan calmed down. She looked coldly at Xiao Tangqiu, then at the others before continuing, "Although this sacred tree isn't a real sacred tree, disguised as one in order to devour humans and deceive people, it should have special abilities related to space."

"Special abilities related to space? What do you mean?" Xiao Tangqiu frowned. "Do you mean... something like the ability to travel through space?"

"Yes, if I'm not guessing correctly, those people who encountered shipwrecks were brought here across thousands of miles by the sacred tree using its spatial ability, and then were kept captive on this island by the sacred tree. That's why they appeared under the sacred tree as soon as they woke up." Bai Yushan said coldly.

Xiao Tangqiu didn't quite understand: "Since the purpose of the sacred tree is to eat people, why didn't it eat them from the beginning, and keep them in captivity on this small island?"
