Just as everyone was barely steadying themselves, filled with high spirits, a disciple's voice trembled:
"Xu, Xu Master... look over there... what is that?!"
A young disciple standing on the flank pointed to the edge of a nearby moss-covered monument.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts and followed his direction.
Even Pharmacist Xu was startled, focusing his vision to see.
At the top edge of the monument covered with moss, a tendril-like thin vine was quietly emerging, swaying gently.
This was originally nothing remarkable, but on its surface, there was a crooked, white star-patterned mark!
Pharmacist Xu let out a sigh of relief, admonishing, "It's just an ordinary demon plant..."
But before he could finish,
the base portion of the monument covered by thick moss suddenly writhed violently and then arched up!
Shhlaa—!
The seemingly solid "stone skin" of the "monument" split open on both sides like soft mud, creating a huge gap!
