Chunks of earth were thrown out, falling to the ground, the dry soil rustling and scattering countless fine grains into the air, raising a thin layer of yellow fog.
Soon, a large pit had been dug out, and only then did everyone see that beneath the unassuming small roots lay an extremely huge rhizome, flat and oval, resembling an oversized curling stone.
Once the top layer of hard soil had been removed, the layer below became looser. Bi Fang inserted his dagger into the ground and started digging by hand, eventually lifting the entire rhizome out of the ground.
Harley, who had been watching, got up and approached, sniffed it, but did not smell what he was expecting. He made a few noises and then lay back down on the ground, resting his head to the side to watch what Bi Fang was doing.
"This thing is quite heavy, takes quite a bit of effort."
