The Corrupted Tree

The large purple and red eyed tree roared like groaning wood as Keng and the three older Foxes landed. 

"What's this thing?!?" Zixin asked in Fox tongue. 

"Whatever it is, we need to figure out where the vessel is!" Lady Vix'i shouted. Roots shot out from the ground, splitting the four foxes. Keng's aura shimmered as he pushed himself away. The roots dive bombed into the ground and quickly shot upwards towards him. Keng extended his tail and quickly grabbed onto a broken trunk. He pulled himself backwards, roots embedding themselves into him. 

Keng felt the roots start to pump him of his energy and blood. The roots forcefully pulled him back, tails struggling to hold onto the broken tree trunk as it slowly ripped from the ground. The root tendrils that held onto Keng bursted open, releasing him from the tree's grasp. Keng hit the ground with a hard thud as he pulled himself up.
