Upon close inspection, Shen Yu noticed injuries on the demonic tree's soul. Not only that, but even the physical body, which was the tree itself, had weakened.
"It must have been injured in some battle, but who could damage a Tier 8 Spiritual Creature's soul to such a degree? Even though it has healed over the years, the marks are still there on its soul," Shen Yu muttered, standing on a branch of the said demonic tree. He looked at it closely and narrowed his eyes, becoming confused by its state.
[You're forgetting something, Master. The question is, how did it get here?]
Shen Yu was surprised, realizing he had indeed overlooked this matter. The system was right; how did the Devourer actually end up in such a desolate space?
The Devourer tends to migrate occasionally after it has sucked a region dry of its Qi, and by that logic, the Devourer shouldn't be here.
