Within minutes, the green vine staff shot up several thousand meters.
It was almost as tall as the giant.
Standing on the staff's platform at this height and gazing into the distance, they saw a rolling sea of clouds. The rising sun dyed the banks of cloud a vivid rose, and great schools of fish chased one another across the sea. It certainly had a charm all its own.
