Zachary's Divine Sense followed the vine to locate its root.
Weren't vine traps supposed to drag their prey into the air after capture? Why was the vine that he tracked with his Divine Sense so long on the ground?
Fortunately, Zachary did not rely on his eyesight to see, but on his Divine Sense to locate enemies, so although it took some effort, he eventually found the root of this vine.
What Zachary did not expect was that he thought the vine would be like ordinary vines before the disaster, just a parasitic organism attached to trees.
However, it was not until Zachary used his Divine Sense to search for the roots of the vine that he discovered the roots were deep within the earth.
Looking at the various bone fragments around him, Zachary understood that the traps set by this thing targeted not only humans but also the ancient creatures that appeared in the forest.
Now that he had found the roots of the vine, Zachary began his next attempt.
