As Su Tang's mind was enveloped in chaos, an unclear voice reached her ears—
"Beep! Binding successful! Host transfer complete!"
The surrounding white light gradually faded, and once Su Tang had a clear view of her surroundings, her mind was momentarily stunned.
She looked around and saw colossal trees that would take four or five people to encircle. The lush foliage blocked most of the sunlight, and the ground was covered in a carpet of yellowed leaves. They were so deep it felt soft when she stepped on them.
Light in the forest was not particularly bright. In some damp areas, she could see mushrooms as large as bowls! Thick vines, as thick as a wrist, twisted and entangled among the large trees. Some were suspended in the air—it felt rather eerie.
Su Tang just stood there, vacant-eyed and motionless, holding a tray in her hands.
A question dominated her thoughts—
Where is this? An ancient forest?!
The year 2222 didn't have such pristine air and such primitive surroundings.
The hand Su Tang was holding the tray with began to shake uncontrollably. The surgical tools placed on the tray clanked against each other, producing crisp sounds.
"Rustle, rustle…"
A noise came from the bushes behind her. Spinning around, Su Tang watched the almost meter-high bush with a face full of fear.
"Rustle, rustle…"
Almost in tears, Su Tang held back the tears welled up in her eyes. She pulled out a scalpel from the tray, pointing it in the direction of the bush, not daring to move.
The bush rustled more and more loudly, as if something would jump out at any moment.
Su Tang's heart pounded, she was terrified, and wanted to flee, but her legs wouldn't move.
She sniffled, trying to bolster her courage, and glared fiercely at the bush.
The bush shook violently and a white shadow suddenly leaped out.
"Ahh..."
Su Tang let out a loud scream, tears streaming down her face. She scrambled and ran behind a large tree.
The white figure also seemed to be scared by Su Tang's scream, hopping and bouncing towards the distance.
Su Tang felt dazed, was that a rabbit?
A rabbit as big as a full-grown Husky?
She trembled and made her way to a tree.
She softly wiped her tears with her sleeve, wrapped the tools with the tray lining, put them in her pocket, and held the tray to her chest.
Su Tang huddled under the tree, fearfully surveying her surroundings, unable to discern whether she was dreaming or in reality.
...
At the same time, not far off in the forest, a deer-horned beast, which was drinking water, suddenly raised its head. As if it had sensed some danger, it prepared to run.
But it hadn't taken two steps before a white tiger with black stripes and a pair of wings sprang from a tree and tore open its throat.
The Deer-horned Beast kicked its limbs a few times and made a soft mooing sound before closing its eyes helplessly.
"Whoa~"
Several men wearing beast skins around their waists rushed out from various places. They excitedly shouted as they circled the White Tiger and the deceased Deer-horned Beast, holding long spears made by attaching sharp stones to sticks.
A flash of white light flickered across the winged White Tiger, and then a muscular man stood up.
"Chief! You're amazing! When can I be as great as you?"
Gaiyin, with a cold look, glanced at the man who had spoken, "You continue hunting, there's a noise up ahead, I'll go check it out."
"Yes, Chief!"
As soon as the words fell, Gaiyin turned back into the white giant tiger and leaped into the trees with a single bound.
