"Alright then." Rui stroked his chin. "Time to summarize everything I've learned thus far."

He quickly parsed through all the facts in his Mind Palace, arranging them neatly.

The core of the Serevian Plateau was an elevated landmass that had been displaced due to the vast number of roots that began consuming more space under the ground due to their expansion, in all likelihood. This caused the landmass to elevate above ground level. It was also the source of the abnormal seismic radiation and certainly the source of other anomalies like migration patterns and other environmental parameters.

The elevated landmass had a high population density upon its surface and inside the vast underground tunnel network beneath the ground. Rui suspected the shift of a large number of animals into the elevated landmass was likely what caused the changes in the migration patterns. He was sure there was a logical explanation and mechanism demonstrating how the elevated landmass affected the Serevian Plateau in different ways.

The flora atop the elevated landmass was all part of a single organism, a single tree that somehow had countless trunks all connected by different branches that all embedded roots so deep into the land that even Seismic Mapping lost track of them beneath the ground.

The tree gave off glowing fruits of different colors, each of which made his Primordial Instinct feel quite uneasy.

The tree also had a defense-mechanism system seemingly. It would attack creatures with a sense of danger in the Squire Realm with branches relentlessly and even self-destructively. Its range was quite high, most likely due to shifting off wood to facilitate its extension.

Rui nodded after organizing all the facts in his head, opening his eyes. He immediately began traveling towards the elevated landmass. He wasn't done with his reconnaissance just yet. Admittedly, he was more curious than he was motivated for completing the mission. How could he not be? Earth simply lacked such fascinating phenomena.
