Chapter 287 Cutting the Tree, Cutting the Tree of Life_2

The parasitic vine, along with most of the vines, relies on other plants for growth. This symbiotic relationship is common in forests. Why would a harmless parasitic vine care?

Who knew that this vine is not a vine at all, and most of the insects are parasitized as well.

Thinking back, the wilting disease I had was probably because of these vines and insects. They excessively drained my life force. The Insect Ash was effective against them, which is why the condition was alleviated.

If it wasn't for Ange's discovery, and the continued parasitism, one day, they would drain me dry and I would fall ill with the wilting disease again.

The Tree of Life was just too large, the feelings were somewhat dull. When it concentrated, it sensed everything on its body in minute detail. But it was too late, the vine had entirely fused with its body and could no longer be removed by conventional means.
