Vivian was hiding behind a tree when she picked up a stone and threw it near a monster.

The monster was basically the wood or trunk monster.

Tak!

The stone hit a nearby tree and the trunk monster didn't react.

Vivian's eyes turned to slits.

So this monster doesn't react to its surroundings and would only react when it personally involves them...?

She picked up another stone.

This time around, she threw it at the trunk monster.

Tak!

The moment it got hit, the trunk monster turned to the direction of where it got hit. However, just like the first trunk monster she killed, it didn't move or take another step, it simply stood.

So it's really the case, huh...

A question popped inside her head.

Does this mean as long as I don't directly attack it it won't attack me...?

She looked at the two 24-inch-long branches that were supposed to be the trunk monster's arms.

That's definitely gonna hurt if I get whipped by those things...

And I don't have any healing magic or potions with me...

Vivian recalled being whipped by her parents with a thin stick if she misbehaved.

On top of that, I need to get strong enough by the end of the day before I enter the city...

And only God knows what kind of place that is...

Right after she mentioned the word God, her face twisted into a dark expression once she remembered what she would like to call Zhey/Zhem God did to her.

Assuming of course that everything that was happening was real.

She shook her head.

Now's not the time...

Time is against me right now...

"Awooooooo!" she made a howling sound before peaking to see how the trunk monster reacted.

There was no reaction.

"Shit..." she cursed under her breath.

Inhale...

Exhale...

"If it attacks me, I'm gonna run away..."

Inhale...

Exhale...

She stepped to the side of the tree and revealed herself with her eyes locked on the trunk monster.

However, the monster still didn't react.

Vivian continued moving to the side, out of the monster's peripheral vision.

Assuming that it had eyes.

It's not reacting...

Or maybe it has a 360-degree peripheral vision...?

I mean, I don't see any eyes...

She shook her head mentally.

But then again, if it did, then why did it have to turn to the direction where it got hit...?

Vivian stopped walking and she was now behind the trunk monster.

Do I go near or do I not...?
