Gauss spent some effort to excavate the Vine Monster's rhizome from deep underground.
Looking at the rhizome in his hand, which resembled a one-meter long ginseng, Gauss examined it and handed it to Aaliyah for research.
This was actually the true body of the Vine Monster.
The large trunks above the ground seemed imposing but were actually inconsequential.
Against an unbeatable opponent, the Vine Monster would feign death and then retract its Life Force into the rhizome, waiting for the enemy to leave before relocating to a safe place to feed and gather nutrients to rise again.
This is the survival instinct born from the natural evolution of the creature.
The mightier the creature, the more outstanding its survival capabilities tend to be.
