After a few more minutes under the astonished eyes of James, the outer shell of the seed showed a few cracks.
From the cracks, there were small thread-like things extended outwards. These threads soon pierced into the surrounding flesh.
Followed by this first batch there were more and more cracks on the seed surface and new threads emerged and moved into the surrounding flesh.
Soon the seed was pulled deeper inside the flesh by the threads.
At this time the first batch of threads was thicker and longer. They slowly took a shape of tree roots and spread out in the surrounding.
This scene looked a bit creepy. James was almost about to turn around and run away due to fear.
The seed was pulled inside and was no more visible on the surface. Instead, the surface was covered by a carpet of dark red roots which spread in all the direction and were concentrated at the location of the seed.
The overlapping roots of varying sizes completely covered the hole.
