Li Fei was startled; he remembered that during the previous visits, he had never seen this giant tree, and in his whole life, he had never seen a tree so large—not even on television, it seemed.
He took a deep breath, standing there dumbfounded, thinking his eyes must be deceiving him. When he opened his eyes again, the giant tree was still there.
Furrowing his brows, he began to step slowly toward the tree, wondering if this could be some kind of visual phenomenon.
Could it be something like a mirage? The more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible, so he approached it filled with doubt, one step at a time.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters…
Just then, he suddenly felt as if the giant tree had moved slightly. He found it strange as there was no wind around; how could it move?
He occasionally rubbed his eyes; the giant tree still stood tall without any change. It seemed he must be seeing things.
