Apart from the Honey Juice Grass, I also noticed a few species of spiders that continuously follow the Honey Juice Grass. They weave webs on the ground near the Honey Juice Grass, using the sweetness secreted by the grass to attract insects, intercepting them halfway, yet leaving nothing for the Honey Juice Grass. Truly rogues among insects.
Initially puzzled, until today, I suddenly discovered a type of toad that preys on the spiders near the Honey Juice Grass.
The toads are large in size, and during the hunting process, they carry the special seeds of the Honey Juice Grass on their bodies to other places, helping the grass to sow its seeds and expand its territory.
Mutual benefit, even if so losses, might transform into gains in another aspect. Is this what they call ’Loss is gain’? It’s also part of nature’s cycle?
The reason grass and wood need to expand their territory is because of the special... let’s tentatively call it Spiritual Net.
For instance, the Honey Juice Grass Demon, besides its body absorbing the Sun and Moon Essence, can also draw from ordinary Honey Juice Grass progenies scattered elsewhere, accumulating bit by bit. The larger the clan, the faster the cultivation.
So, reproduction and expansion are equally important for the Grass and Wood Demon Clan, using all asures to achieve this.
For example, producing delicious fruits to trick small beasts into eating them, finally pulling out seeds along with manure, even getting fertilizer in the process, calculating everything clearly.
Today, I found an amusing Insect Catching Grass. This grass is quite smart, and its reflexes are very fast.
The insect trap has three hairs, if it only touches one or two, the trap won’t close, preventing dew from entering.
Only when an insect moves back and forth, touching all three hairs, does the trap snap shut suddenly.
The entire process is unbelievably fast, less than half a breath’s ti.
This is still an ordinary Insect Catching Grass without Spiritual Wisdom, I plan to use it to practice the Entangling Demon Technique of the White Vine, enhancing the speed of its throw and retrieval.

[Year of the Tiger, April 25]
This patch of Insect Catching Grass seems to have been used up by , no matter how I tease the three hairs, they no longer close.
Forget it, I’ll find other Little Demons to play with.
Ten Thousand Wood Forest is fraught with danger, but so Little Demons are still very friendly, especially Flower Demons that rely on grass and wood for sustenance.
I told them that I ca from the Human Clan territory, and they insisted on telling them stories of the Human Clan.
I simply made up a touching love story of a Flower Demon falling in love with a human and finally sacrificing its cultivation to save the human, ultimately sacrificing itself.
As a result, I was surrounded by a group of Flower Demons and Grass Demons scolding .
They said cultivation is painstakingly accumulated over decades or even hundreds of years; no Flower Demon would sacrifice it to save a human.
All Flower Demons united in protest, claiming they would eat humans, never save them; compared to love, what compares to the fragrance of nectar?
Moreover, Grass Demons asked whether humans taste good, how it compares to the old sour dung taste of the demonic beasts by the lake?
I genuinely don’t know, I’ve eaten neither!
Feeling vexed by the questions, I could only retreat to the underground to find the Snake Willow Tree Demon I t yesterday.
Snake Willow is a unique Spiritual Tree in Ten Thousand Wood Forest, said to have traces of bloodline from the ancient Divine Tree Hollow Willow, mutated to survive to this day, the only living tree in the entire forest.
In the Grass and Wood Demon Clan, spiritual plants with the Divine Tree Immortal Grass bloodline each have their independent territory and generally won’t appear in Ten Thousand Wood Forest, not even needing to participate in the Divine Sacrifice ceremony, I fear I won’t have the chance to see them.
Snake Willow is nearly seven hundred years old yet hasn’t undergone Transformation, outwardly resembling an ordinary willow tree, each branch possessing the ability to strangle prey like a snake.
Whatever prey touches the Snake Willow branches, even fierce tigers and majestic lions, they find it hard to escape.
I felt a trace of Space Power on it; it can instantaneously consu the internal organs of ensnared prey as if transferring them using space power.
Snake Willow’s Entangling Demon Technique is stronger than mine; it contains techniques for strangling prey, making them suffocate and unable to struggle.
I’ve decided to learn from it, upgrading my Entanglent to Strangulation, earlier practicing fine control over spiritual energy by pulling leaves can now aid precise control over Divine Thought and Divine Sense, greatly benefiting learning Little Demon Technique.
The way of Grass and Wood Strangulation isn’t just above ground; I’ve now discovered the whole Grass and Wood Clan isn’t as small and gentle as they appear.
Take Bitter Luo Grass, with its above-ground parts dry and yellow; who can tell it’s controlling the entire wasteland belowground?
Ten Thousand Wood Forest is the sa, above ground bustling and chirping, sitting in rows, waiting for bees, yet below ground, roots strangle each other, driven mad competing for nutrients and water.
I won’t be outdone, claiming a bit of territory; whoever’s roots cross, I directly plunder and absorb. Even if a Divine Tree cos, we have nothing to say.
