What impressed Zack the most was the scale of it. The tunnels were not only vast but wide and sturdy enough for even the treants to use. It was a surprising development—he hadn't expected the ants to create such a durable underground structure. The maze offered a potential new layer of defense, one that Zack could use to his advantage. If enemies tried to infiltrate, they would find themselves lost in a confusing warren of tunnels, with the treants patrolling above and below.
The first treant Zack had summoned had also changed significantly over the months. It had grown considerably, now towering over his home, its leafy canopy offering ample shade during the day. But even more impressive was that the treant had started to bear fruit. These fruits, nourished by the sunlight it absorbed, were a boon for the nearby village. They provided food and resources, strengthening the bond between Zack and the villagers, who had come to rely on the treant's fruits.
