Chapter 221: Utopia

Anthony, Perséfone, and Estefany proceeded cautiously through the forest. They had to be on high alert, as some plants emitted poisonous smoke while others exploded, releasing corrosive liquid. Even some plants attempted to devour them. The entire forest seemed alive, with trees extending their branches to ensnare them.

Furrowing his brow, Anthony dodged another attack from a toothed plant. Estefany nervously suggested, "I think it would be best to get out of this place." Anthony shook his head and replied, "This place definitely holds some unique items," as he cut down another tree with an ugly expression on its bark. The tree emitted a harrowing scream as its branches thrashed frantically before finally succumbing.

The surrounding plants, sharing similar biology, began to adhere to the tree and secrete a corrosive liquid that gradually decomposed it. "That was a bit disturbing," commented Perséfone as she watched the plants devour the once-living tree.
