As the giant spirit beast opened its mouth to inhale, a drop of Stone Heart Blood was instantly sucked into its mouth.
The giant spirit beast attempted to suck in a second drop but, after a moment of struggle and hesitation, it turned and walked towards the outskirts of the Divine Stone Pit.
The keen senses of everyone present detected that parts of the beast's flesh and blood body had once again turned into wood.
Chu Xisheng didn't have time to ponder the implications when he noticed a slight shift in expression and saw three figures emerging from another cave entrance opposite him.
It was indeed Chu Ming and her two Daoist followers, Chu Shan and Chu Shi.
These three also noticed Chu Xisheng and the others.
Chu Ming glanced over in this direction, then focused her intense gaze on the "Stone Heart Blood" and "Time Trace" inside the Divine Stone Pit.
After discussing briefly, Chu Shan and Chu Shi made their way over along the pit's walls toward their side.
