Misunderstanding

The giant pangolin Po Tu had just emerged from the earth, when it was unceremoniously pulled back into the ground almost just as quickly. Its exit had been more stunning than its entrance.

'Up to old tricks I see…' Wen Leyang thought to himself as he stood stunned. The giant pangolin had put on this act once back in the Gold-Consuming Lair.

Wen Leyang, head lama Rangjung, and ugly man Qin Zhui seemed shocked by the abrupt turn of events. Upon landing, they ceased their fighting and stood in silence. Each staring at the ground, not knowing what to make of it.

The ground was flat and even, not a single crack was to be found.

The giant pangolin had used its magic powers to dig a tunnel into the mountains and burrow through the ground. Hence, no matter where or how he tunneled, when he left the site, the ground would be restored to its original condition. There wouldn't be any gaping holes left in the ground.
