Chu Linfeng moved slowly, having to pay attention to the thousand-year-old tree demon's movements. Walking within the soil layer was already slow, and his cautiousness made it even slower. After half a day, he had only moved a few dozen meters.
However, the tree roots of the thousand-year-old tree demon hadn't stirred, which reassured Chu Linfeng. After a while, he noticed the surrounding tree roots had significantly grown larger, indicating he was getting closer to the main root's location.
Chu Linfeng dared not approach these roots, knowing he would be detected immediately. Often, to bypass a single root, he'd spend more time.
The closer he got, the larger the target tree roots became; some even reached several meters in diameter. As for their depth, Chu Linfeng was unsure.
