Squish. Squish.

The Kudzu, drawing life from the fire ant worker, grew rapidly.

“Huh?”

Upon reaching a certain size, the plant stopped growing and, with a sound,

Poof.

A flower bloomed.

Then,

[The Kudzu absorbs the fire ant’s life force.]

[The fire ant’s life force continuously depletes.]

[The Kudzu absorbs the fire ant’s life force.]

[The fire ant’s life force continuously depletes.]

..

.

Every minute, a message appeared stating that the Kudzu was absorbing the fire ant’s life force. Sejun watched the fire ant for 30 minutes.

“Huh? Why isn’t it dying?”

No matter how long he waited, there was no sign of the fire ant dying. Even though the Kudzu was supposedly draining its life force, the ant seemed perfectly healthy.

Krueng!

[Daddy, Cuengi’s bored!]

“Hmm, just wait a bit.”

Sejun, while giving Cuengi a piggyback ride, observed for another 30 minutes, but the fire ant still appeared perfectly healthy.

Kuehehehe. Krueng!

[Hehehe, Cuengi’s excited!]

Only Cuengi laughed joyfully, enjoying being carried around.

“I get it now.”

Sejun quickly realized the issue. The Kudzu was just a regular Kudzu. Even if it drained the ant’s life force, it was merely a tiny fraction of the ant’s total life force. To drain the ant completely, thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of Kudzu needed to be planted. Or perhaps the Kudzu needed to grow more to absorb even more life force.

“Oh really….. How am I supposed to use this in combat?”

He’d even have to make holes in the skin…

Moreover, crops needed to be pollinated before they could bear fruit, so he couldn’t harvest anything before that.

The ‘You are a Field!’ skill was profoundly agricultural in nature.

Just as Sejun was feeling disappointed with the skill’s performance,

Kieee….

The unconscious fire ant worker began to regain consciousness.

Then,

[Special Effect: Restraint activated.]

Squirm. Squirm.

With the message of the special effect activation, the Kudzu’s stems began to wrap around the fire ant.

“Oh!”

Sejun was momentarily hopeful, but

Snap.

As the ant moved its legs, the Kudzu’s stems broke off easily.

Squirm.

The Kudzu attempted to grow new stems and tie the ant down, but

Whooosh.

The fire ant spewed fire from its antennae, burning the Kudzu’s stems, further proving the insignificance of Sejun’s newly acquired combat skill.

“Still, I need to harvest this Kudzu. Cuengi, hold it down!”

If he left it as it was and the Kudzu bore fruit, this area could become like the 85th floor.

Krueng!

[Understood!]

As Cuengi held the fire ant still, Sejun pulled out the Kudzu root embedded in the ant’s back.

Suk.

He extracted a Kudzu root the size of a mini carrot from the fire ant’s back.
