To her great despair, the tree doesn't seem to like her usage of its roots! A thick branch reaches down, wrapping itself around her body! Lifting her out of the water, it brings Diddlesworth towards its center. At which point, a wooden maw opens up, sappy silyva dripping from it. Soon her thrashing leg is within reach, and with a sickening crunch, her leg is missing! The sap seems to be keeping her from bleeding though, probably so she's alive for it to eat later!
At this point, she's no longer above the water and at the shore. Through the pain, she finaly manages to draw her blade, then swings it with all her strength, managing to cleave the branch holding her! Upon landing on the ground, she immediatly starts crawling away. Soon she's able to get away from the monstrous plant.
As she lays on the ground crying in pain and despair, the sap slowly soaks into her injury. Soon she finds her leg regrowing! But, it's not like her normal leg, it's like a tree! The sap has made her part tree! She had to admit, her bark was quite smooth and nice looking, especially for a tree, but that was besides the point.
With her new limb, the squire can continue her journey, though her stiff leg makes things difficult. Eventually she finds a tunnel leading away from the underground river.
All Glory to the Hypno Suwako...
I know quite a bit, but it's mostly useless info.
