"Old man asks you to come here, naturally not to trap you."
Han Xing quietly waited for the ancient tree to continue.
"I know clearly that the source of the curse is not something we can resolve."
"Before this, I have tried many times, all ending in failure."
"I asked you here for another matter."
"And this matter also requires your help."
Han Xing looked at the massive trunk that seemed like a mountain, puzzled.
The other party spoke directly.
"That is, to expel the cursed and decayed parts from my body."
Upon hearing this, Han Xing was momentarily dazed.
It seemed the ancient tree knew Han Xing did not understand.
The ancient tree continued to explain: "Young friend should know that this curse is like a maggot on the bone."
"Once afflicted, it will gradually invade every corner of the body."
"Until it completely erodes your body, turning you into a slave of the curse."
With that,
the Ancient Tree with Entwined Roots slowly turned its body.
