"The demon hunter department has a really good method it's like having a renewable source of library, since the tree bark can be used to make talismans it should be worth something", ryujin thought while preparing to leave,
"Young man I wonder if you're in a hurry to report back, if not please can you keep this old man company, I haven't had someone to chat with in a while" said the old man, ryujin hearing this stopped in his track,
"I have been lock up in here for ten years and I haven't been able to talk to someone in years, I feel like my life is soon coming to an end and I just wanted to chat with someone before I die, I just want relieve my inner frustrations," hearing the old man's voice ryujin walked back and went up to the prison door, "sure what do you want to talk about " ryujin said,
"Let me Tell you about my story" said the old man while sitting down, "sure I love stories " ryujin replied,
The old man started speaking "hundred years ago in jixian county,
There was a small village called the Zhang family village" the old man said while making a small sigh "the village was secluded From the outside world, and there was a small boy named Zhang heng, who accidentally planted a small locust tree" he continued while thinking "let's see if I can slowly coax you into opening the door with my story" he thought
Just has the old man was thinking this he saw the door being opened and a purple long haired boy walked in, he was surprised by this action clearly not expecting him to open the door so soon "you....you... You why are you coming inside my cell, I'm a demon and I could eat you" the old man said with a surprise face,
Ryujin continued walking till he got to a vine like swing that was in the old prison with some green moss on the walls, "listening to a story behind a closed door just doesn't feel real, and I can tell you're a good demon that's why I came in" ryujin said while sitting on the vine like swing,
"Why isn't this reckless boy following the rules, I haven't finished my story yet" the old man thought
"continue with your story, I want to know what happened to the locust tree" ryujin said while using the vine to swing back and forth
Seeing ryujin swinging like a child the old man was a bit confused thinking "what's next should I continue with my story or should I just take action directly"
Then old man then stood up and continued "when the locust tree grew up it became a tree demon and killed the entire village" the old man said while stumping his walking cane on the floor making a loud thud and vines in the prison cell of the old man started moving and they all went for ryujin attacking him,
"Is that it, is that your story" ryujin said while still swinging on his the vine,
Some of the vines started going towards the old man and wrapping up his body "that's all, what's the point of telling you a story when you're right in front of me, I'll just swallow you whole" the old man said with a rough voice while transforming into a tree looking monster, his character was base of a tree guy that follows a raccoon with blasters, he turned around while making a scary groan,
Turning around the tree monster could see a fist coming fast towards his face, the impact was so great that the tree demon found his self on the floor,
"Can't you have some professionalism, can't you at least finish the story before taking action" ryujin blurted out with slight frustration in his voice,
The tree demon stood up from the floor "what's the difference between you and those who cherry pick information" he said while rubbing his Jaws still feeling the impact from the punch,
The tree demon leaped back a few distant "human, you even dare to try and fight back in the face of absolute death instead of begging, I will make you BECOME MY NOURISHMENT" the demon shouted while stretching his hands and making all the vine rush towards ryujin,
The vines wrapped up ryujin holding him up in the air and Immobilizing him, he was unable to move, feeling the paint that came From being squeezed by the vines then the system message came up,
......

The tree demon walked over to ryujin's who was still tied up with the vines, the demon used his fingers to touch ryujin's chest, "is this all you've got, you vines are so weak" ryujin said trying to coax the tree demon
Annoyed "still trying to be tough huh?" The tree demon said while turning and walking away, he raised his thumb and index fingers making a snap and the vine completely wrapped up ryujin's entire body including his head, the vines was squeezing him extra hard now, undoubtedly a normal human would have had all their bones broken,
........ ...

The next moment ryujin with his new found strength burst out of the wrapped up vines and landed on the ground with a Thud,
The tree demon suddenly turned back and seeing him freed himself from his strong vines, the tree demon was scared out of his wits with sweat dripping down his face,
Ryujin on the floor slowly stood up with a sly smile on his cold looking face, this action scared the tree demon "don't come any closer to me" the tree demon cried out while moving backwards slowly,
" You may scream all your lungs out, and nobody is coming in here to save you" ryujin said while cracking his knuckles, "feel fare my precious" ryujin said while leaping in the air towards the tree demon,
