Chapter 1162. A Tree Hole
The boar continued to eat ravenously, despite its literal shortcoming, until it reached the size of an ant. Han Sen observed it intently, wondering why the boar might have wanted that to happen.
The consumption of one of those walnuts did not seem to impart any benefits. It merely brought pain and made the consumer shrink. And now, the boar had lost all semblance of its previous, intimidating look.
But despite having been made that small, the speed and strength of the creature looked unchanged.
Han Sen used his dongxuan aura to give the boar a scan and observe what it might have been attempting to do.
But the boar took off running through the forest. It was only a primitive creature, though, so it was no trouble for Han Sen to follow it closely.
The boar skittered its way over a distance of ten miles before coming up to another, albeit stranger, walnut tree.
The tree was of similar size to the others, but this tree had leaves that were black and red, not verdant green. Furthermore, the tree looked as if it had been made from metal. Each leaf, and even the composition of its trunk, looked to be metallic. And even stranger, Han Sen was unable to detect the presence of a lifeforce stemming from that particular tree.
If it was a tree king, there had to be a lifeforce. But if it really was a tree, it must have died a long time ago. And yet despite that, many fruits decorated the twigs and branches of the tree. That indicated it was actually alive.
The mini boar took to climbing the tree, and it went up and up until it reached a small hole on the trunk’s surface.
