Su Shanshan had already circled around to the back of the tree. The tree that was encircling its other prey did not notice her at all. It was not until she slit the spot that the tree had been carefully protecting with her Tang sword that the tree realized her presence, but it was too late.
Su Shanshan grabbed its nucleus. Once it left its body, it would die instantly.
A piercing sound was heard. The giant tree used the last of its strength to stab Su Shanshan's heart with its tree root, wanting to die with her.
Just as the root was about to touch Su Shanshan, a cold aura rose. The root was frozen in midair, and the ice spread along the root until the whole tree was frozen under the ice. When she took out the crystal core, all the roots instantly broke into pieces and fell to the ground.
