Massive crimson root systems slowly emerged from the depths beneath the ground, silently approaching the base of the city walls.
At the sight of these roots, Lin Zichen's face became grave, and Shen Qinghan's pretty face turned deathly pale.
Both thought they had been completely exposed and were about to suffer a frenzied attack from the crimson roots.
However, the crimson roots completely ignored the two of them and surged upwards, seemingly unaware of their presence.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan held their breath, remaining motionless in place, silently watching the crimson roots rising around them.
Only after confirming their safety did Lin Zichen begin to dig again, changing the direction of excavation and leading Shen Qinghan away from the crimson roots.
Just as the two prepared to leave—
Suddenly!
The array at the bottom of the city disappeared in an instant.
At the same time.
The speed of the surrounding crimson roots surged upwards violently.
