It was as if a parent was saying to someone about to eat their child: "The younger one doesn't have much meat. The older one works out more and is much tastier."
Unbelievable. This was classic Kim Haru behavior.
With stiff movements, the group followed Go Okrim's lead and began digging up bamboo shoots.
Not only did they dig under that one Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree, but other Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree also took the initiative to expose their tastiest bamboo shoots. Instead of attacking the humans, they even helped out.
When Hwa Jian's hoe got stuck in the frozen ground and wouldn't budge, the Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree he was digging under extended a root to push the hoe free and even loosened the soil around the bamboo shoot to make it easier to dig.
Thanks to the Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree's assistance, Hwa Jian's task became much smoother.
