The Spirit Root Tree's roots spread throughout the entire mountain. In theory, no movement within the mountain should escape its senses.
It might tolerate some beasts digging holes or building nests near its roots, as they pose no threat. But for a Saint-level expert to follow one of its roots toward its trunk... the Spirit Root Tree should have taken action long ago.
But the reality was that as Feng Bqing's tunnel grew deeper and deeper, the Spirit Root Tree remained completely still.
Su Ze instinctively felt something was wrong. Either the Spirit Root Tree was in a weakened state, or it was preparing a devastating attack.
To be on the safe side, he stopped following Feng Bqing into the tunnel. In any case, Feng Bqing still had a long way to dig to reach the trunk, so he decided to wait and see.
Su Ze retreated to where he'd started. With nothing else to do, he felt his pockets and was surprised to find his phone still on him.
