Trapped in Beast World: My Husbands Are All Animals! Novel

Chapter 278 Gifts on the Wind VPN 51 +20 Free Coins A gentle deer call floated from the woods. Ardenia sat up, rubbed her eyes, and blinked like someone surfacing from a dream with no end. She stretched and then paused. Her body felt feather-light, as if a mountain had slipped from her shoulders. Unnoticed, a new totem made its mark on her skin. Butterflies spiraled overhead. A young sika deer appeared and stopped in front of her. Their eyes met. The deer froze, made a decision, dipped its head, and charged headlong into a rock. Its tongue lolled out, eyes wide with tragic flair.

Its whole posture seemed to scream, 'Go ahead, holy saint. Roast or cook me-whatever makes you happy.' Ardenia perked up. The book tells me to wait by a tree for rabbits. Today, it looks like the forest has switched the menu. This one's a win. She kept it in her pocket space, then gathered a bunch of mushrooms on the way out. Then the weirdness hit her a second later. Hold on. Aren't I supposed to be asleep inside my pocket space?So why am I standing in some wild, backwoods nowhere? Everything here screams primitive. Please, no leeches. The very idea sent a shiver down her spine.

A cold gust swept by, raising goosebumps so fierce it felt like her skin might flake away. She thought, I need to get back. Fast. The trail ahead looked like it would happily twist an ankle. Ardenia drew on her earth-based technique. The ground answered, leveling into a firm, walkable path beneath her feet. Thanks to Tobias, that petty little serpent, she finally achieved Level 10 in earth-based technique. Did she seem excited? No, not really. Annoyance flared as she vividly recalled the past few days.

She tore off a thorny branch from a shrub, poked her finger to feel the sting, nodded in approval, and then put it into her pocket space. 1/4 20:08 Thu, Feb 12 Chapter 278 Gifts on the Wind : VPN 51 +20 Free Coins The hike down went easier than she expected. Deep ruts almost caused her to stumble, but the terrain quickly flattened. She had been concerned she might be too exhausted to go back. Just as her path ran out, a massive elephant stepped in her way. "Huh?" Ardenia cocked her head. Okay... what do you even do with a wild elephant? Run? With my belly this big, that's not happening.

The elephant looked at the tiny antlers hanging from her ear. Recognition appeared in its eyes. Oh, so she's the one I need to escort. Then, it gently swayed its trunk and did its best to appear friendly. Please tell her that I am smiling. It approached with heavy steps, lowered itself, and curled its trunk upward like a ramp. Its front feet pushed ahead for stability as it offered to lift her. Ardenia just stared. "Wait... you want me to climb on?" She told herself, I have to be dreaming. The elephant gave a nod. Ardenia confirmed, Yep.

That's definitely a dream, because a wild elephant couldn't really be "talking" to me right now. Her long skirt grazed the trunk as it lifted her, gripping its large ears like handlebars. Once she was safely seated, the elephant began to lower itself-gradually, smoothly, and unexpectedly gently. As the sun set toward the horizon, Ardenia sat on the elephant's trunk, relaxing to catch butterflies and waving at the nearby flying birds. Soon, she found that the small animals were behaving as if she were their VIP.

They kept popping up along her path to "gift" her items-one after the other: a fresh flower, a smooth, attractive stone. This feels so unreal. Am I still in a dream? The thought barely settled when two lovely thrushes swooped in carrying a flower crown. They dropped it neatly onto her head. "For me?" Ardenia asked. Wow, this is amazing! 2/4 20:08 Thu, Feb 12 ...

Ardenia nearly thought she was still dreaming until Halden's hoarse, broken shout that shattered the air.

Ardenia jerked her head up. Halden stood ahead, empty-eyed and exhausted. Her heart lurched. Is there something that happened to the tribe? She quickly patted the elephant's trunk. It stopped and lowered her gently. Ardenia ran. Halden watched her race toward him, his heartbeat stumbling. She's back. "Ardenia," he called out, quickening his pace. I've found her! I finally found her! "Halden-mm..." Her words disappeared. His mouth sought hers, frantic and desperate, almost biting. Ardenia tried to push him away, but moved him only slightly. Salty tears touched her lips-Halden was crying.

Her body went stiff. Why? Has something really happened to the tribe? "Why did you disappear without a word? Ardenia... do you not want me anymore?" Halden finally pulled back. Relief flared across his face-bright and shaky-then grief flooded right back in. His eyes were bloodshot in a way that made her chest tighten. Hot tears kept spilling as his hands shook against her cheeks. She looked different. Prettier, somehow. He still recognized her instantly. His Ardenia. "Don't talk like that.

Why would I not want you?" Ardenia grabbed him around the waist and patted him slowly and steadily, aiming to soothe him. Inside, she was half stunned. Okay... this is unreal. A fierce leopard breaking apart like this? He has to be dreaming, too. I just fell asleep and woke up on a mountain. It's not like I died. "Did something happen in the tribe?" The question made her heart tighten instinctively. Fear quickly surged-sharp and familiar-like the nightmare with the Leopard Tribe was about to recur.
