Chapter 183: An Unlikely Friend

The Golden Emperor Vine was usually not seen in such small forests as this mountain forest. It would be in primeval areas that were near impossible to access. The plant would have a whole territory of its own, and every life that lived within would be seen as its food. It would let them live peacefully, fatten them up, and allow them to grow, but when they reached a certain level of strength, it would gobble them up, drain the essence blood within their bodies, and leave nothing but a withered husk behind.

These plants were, at first, unable to move. They would slowly grow alongside the livestock that they reared in their territory; however, upon reaching a certain level, they would be capable of taking a human shape.

While this Golden Emperor Vine was a plant, it was very similar to a beast, and even its progress was very similar to that of beasts.
