Bursts of earth and sand suddenly erupted from the ground, shooting straight up into the dark clouds that enveloped the Twisted Forest.
The ground of the Twisted Forest was pockmarked with countless holes of all sizes as a result of the eruptions.
Suddenly, the scent of the wetlands permeated through the Twisted Forest, followed by the gradual emergence of towering ancient treants from the holes.

It wasn't until they reached a height of more than fifty meters that the ancient treants ceased their upward growth.
Bare branches sprouted from their trunks, soon followed by the budding of tender green leaves and a myriad of colorful flowers—life was breathed back into the dried husks.
Upon seeing the dozens of towering ancient trees standing tall before him, King Wumeng was astonished. Then, he saw the ancient treants begin to run.
