The green light of life enveloped the entire Stone Mountain, endless roots wrapped around the altar, and the Divine Vine once again displayed its divine wonder.
For a long time, countless roots retracted underground, leaving only an empty great cauldron and a heap of bones on the altar.
Yet the green light of the Divine Vine on Stone Mountain grew even stronger.
"Buzz!"
The Divine Vine suddenly trembled, using Stone Mountain as a foundation, its underground roots extended outwards once more, indicating its Divine Power had risen once again, expanding the range it could protect.
Moreover, unseen by the crowd underground, countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants hibernating were entwined by the roots of the Divine Vine and turned into its nourishment.
The Divine Vine was sentient, clearing away harmful creatures for the Vine Tribe, yet none of the tribe's livestock, nor the big insects, were harmed.
