Chapter 96: Lawbreakers Must Be Severely Punished

Thorn Cordyceps was located at the edge of Thorn Ridge, close to the dairy farm, within a not-so-large area of Thorn Forest. Thorn Ridge got its name from the abundance of short thorn bushes that surrounded it. However, the thorn bushes rarely grew in large clusters, typically appearing as small patches here and there.

Liszt had investigated this and theorized that one possible reason was that thorn bushes are shrubs—without a significant main trunk and tend to stay low to the ground in clumps.

More accurately, the area should be called a thorn bush thicket.

Clinging to the edges of a forest of tall trees, the lofty canopy blocked out the sunlight, limiting the shrubs' growth.

"The Thorn Bug's restlessness might stem not only from inadequate nutrition but also perhaps due to the limited expanse of the Thorn Forest; the trees overshadow the spread of the thorn bush thickets."

To the south of the Thorn Cordyceps lay the dairy farm.
