The inside territory of the ents was extremely hard to infiltrate. This was the unanimous conclusion of all the demon souls who had been lurking in Thousand Trees King City.
There were all kinds of strange plants, and the guard vines were scattered everywhere, even in remote corners.
It would be safe to sneak in for a day or two, but the vines would have extracted and observed strange behavior patterns after an extended period. Capturing an infiltrator could be decided in seconds by the person in charge.
The demon clan had nearly 800 spies caught overnight in the earlier stages because of this mistake and suffered heavy losses.
However, as time passed, the demon souls learned to adapt and learned the various skills needed to disguise themselves in the ents' territory.
