A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 108

The chat buzzed.

"Haha, yes! You'll get used to it!"

"Honestly, even though I've seen Demi's strength multiple times, I still can't help but gape whenever she chops down a tree."

"My eyes went wide too. My mom asked me what scared me so much, haha…"

Demi continued searching for suitable trees while holding the shovel.

"What should we do?" Maria and Tyler asked as Demi began chopping down the second tree.

They didn't want to feel like useless bystanders.

"Go gather some vines. We'll need them later to set up the tent," Demi instructed.

As she spoke, the second tree crashed to the ground.

Demi paused for a moment. "I don't think I told Mrs. Yale about the rain. I should send her a message."

"Alright, you do that. We'll go grab the vines," Maria said, dragging Tyler along.

"Use a knife to cut them," Demi reminded.

"Got it!" Maria called back cheerfully as they left.

Demi quickly sent a message to Wendy, warning her about the rain, then resumed chopping trees.

…

Meanwhile, Wendy's team was still gathering wild fruits and crabs. Since they had plenty of seafood left from lunch, they hadn't bothered going to the beach to catch more.

Suddenly, something darted past Ana's feet.

She screamed instinctively. When she looked again, she saw a black snake as thick as an arm.

Her scream escalated to a shrill pitch as she stumbled backward.

Sally and Wendy turned toward her, yelping and stumbling away when they saw the snake.

Just then, Wendy's phone chimed in her pocket, but she was too distracted to notice.

The rain started to drizzle down at 5:00 pm.

"We need to find a place to set up camp." Nigel frowned.

"But this whole area is just trees…" Ana frowned as she looked around.
