The river water dried up.
Even the lush forest disappeared. The cracked ground was filled with desolation, as if it had been burned.
The bark of the towering tree had already disappeared. The branches were withered and there was no more leaves on the branches.
The entire tree had completely lost its life.
The cave under the tree had actually collapsed and was buried in the soil.
Where was the pride?
Chu Xiaoye paced around the familiar and unfamiliar land, looking and smelling, but he could not see any traces left behind by the pride, nor could he smell any familiar scent.
The ground was dark and filled with charred marks left behind by the fire.
Humans had come to this land!
The evening sun pierced through the muddy sky and landed on this lifeless land, on his tall and stiff body.
He stood under the tree until the sky turned dark.
Catherine stood behind him and accompanied him, motionless like his shadow.
