It took Shen Yibin a full minute to walk from the roots to the treetop of the fallen tree, and its sheer size once again blew his mind. The uneven trunk made for a tricky path, but the main reason it took so long was its sixty-eight-meter length.
"SQUEAK! SQUEAK!" Just as he reached the treetop, Maphario darted past him and scurried back into Hah'Er's pocket. Shen Yibin could faintly make out something in its mouth, but he had no attention to spare for that now. He was completely lost in awe, marveling at this miracle of creation.
The solid trunk, wrapped in grayish-brown bark, looked like an ancient giant lying upon the earth, inspiring a sense of awe at first sight. After a long silence, Shen Yibin finally snapped out of his amazement, only for new problems to surface. 'A sixty-eight-meter-long tree… How are we supposed to get this back? And once we do, how do we even get it upright?'
