Chương 231: Burden or Blessing

Jay's skeletons breached the vine wall and stepped inside, all of them looking around for threats, while behind them Jay looked on in wonder.

The ancient roots of the trees were covered with a lattice of crisscrossing vines, forming an elaborate mesh over them.

It seemed that the vines didn't need sunlight as they grew where they wanted; their food was blood instead.

Within the wall of vines was also something that seemed like mounds, but as Jay stepped closer and prodded one, he could see bones inside.

Each of these 'mounds' were actually a sort of cocoon formed by the blood-vines, sealing the trapped creatures in tombs as they drained them of blood.

There were many cocoons between the trees, within the circle wall of vines, and Jay guessed there were close to one hundred of them in this storage prison.

“Well, don't mind if I do.” Jay thought, soon using his gauntlet to pull the bones out of the vine coffins.
