But the very perceptive Tree Monster knew one thing clearly: if it were to massively drain the essence energy from these people, it would not only cause panic and make everyone flee far away, making them difficult to find thereafter. It would also be akin to draining the pond to catch all the fish... Although it did not know the saying about draining the pond to catch all the fish, it understood the principle.
Therefore, it couldn't cause these humans to suspect it and flee in terror, yet it still wanted to obtain more energy more quickly. So, what should it do?
The Tree Monster started to set its sights on the infants who had just been born! Despite being newly born, humans of this world were peculiar—they didn't need to cultivate to have extraordinarily long life expectancies. From the day of their birth, abundant essence energy was already contained within their organs!
Thus, even the essence energy of the newly born infants could satisfy the Tree Monster's needs.
