"You... you don't burn me... I... I don't want to die..."
In an instant, a voice full of immense fear echoed in Lin Feng's mind, causing him to smile. He immediately said, "I have no intention of harming you. Can you tell me your origin?"
"Yes... yes, I can. I am the Calamity God Tree. I have been in this cave for an unknown amount of time. My master used to come regularly to take my fruits to refine elixirs, but it's been so long since my master last appeared..."
The small red tree explained its origins to Lin Feng. It wasn't originally here but was transplanted by someone, its only master. Later, the master vanished and never came to collect its fruits for elixir-making.
Countless years have passed; there were no stalagmites in the cave at first, but now the highest one has grown several meters high, showcasing the passage of eons.
