'The Shepherd of Trees' left, and 'Lorena' was alone in the entire cave once again. In fact, this statement is not quite accurate, as many of her children were still shuttling to and fro in the passage, faithfully carrying out her orders, and providing her with nourishment.
Although Lorena's roots were deeply rooted, with the deepest part more than a hundred meters from the cave floor, covering a range of several kilometers laterally, it still could not satisfy her appetite.
She needed to grow continuously, breed tree fruits, and give birth to more children. The nutrients absorbed from the earth could only be used for basic maintenance. Lorena needed blood, lots and lots of blood.
'The Shepherd of Trees', who had personally sown Lorena, once said that she was not an ordinary 'Gantias Mother Tree', but was bred from the seeds of the World Tree, so she could have unique talents and precious wisdom, instead of just being a muddled killing tool.
