The Tree-Shaped Soul Beast wrapped a powerful pale-pink tentacle tightly around half of Ma Xiaotao's arm, clinging to her like a suction cup.
Then a face-like outline slowly emerged from the indistinct mass of flesh.
It let out a shrill cry that sounded like a baby laughing and weeping. "Sister... sister..."
The sound was so wretched it made everyone's hair stand on end!
The next moment, Ma Xiaotao's expression changed sharply as her entire body was swallowed into the trunk.
