长 is chang( 2nd tone) and 还 is hai(2nd tone) in this sentence. In this case, 长(chang) means the period of time is long, as an adjective, while 还 (hai) is an adverb with the meaning of " still".

还:最初都读作huan2,但后来分划出副词和连词的含义,所以读音变成了hai2,读成hai2是依然,再,尚且,等等的副词和连词的含义。 如果读成huan2则是动词含义为主,”返,返回,回顾,归还“等等含义 长:读成zhang3是动词为主,表示”生长“、成长、长大的意思。   读成chang2则是形容词、副词为主,表示时间长,距离长,东西长的意思。 而句子中”还长着呢“,是指的”时间依然很长“所以读”hai, chang“。
