Ye Mo suddenly had a bad feeling, if there was nothing else here where did the sand come from?
Thinking about this, he suddenly felt Shadowless grow restless in the Golden Page World. He saw Shadowless fly next to Blue Moon and open its mouth, sucking in some sand.
This gave Ye Mo a strange feeling as the sand seemed worried when being devoured by Shadowless, but Shadowless was very active. Ye Mo felt that it was very happy.
Ye Mo thought, âWhy did Shadowless eat the fine sand? Why would sand have emotions?â
Ye Mo instantly had a bad feeling. There was something wrong with the fine sand. He immediately called out, âNobody move!â
Miao Wuren and Gan Liang were planning to search along the fine sand but immediately stopped.
He quickly took out Mist Lotus Heart Fire and instantly covered everyone. Everyone had a layer of Mist Lotus Heart Fire covering them.
Other than Miao Wuren and Huang Lanlan, no one else even flinched.
Ye Mo felt very assured with Lin Yiban and Xu Tongâs reaction. Lin Yiban was body condensation state tertiary stage and Xu Tong was body condensation state middle stage. If they wanted to resist, it would be very easy, but they didnât do so.
Now that they were enveloped by his heaven flame, even though they were body condensation state, he could kill the two at any time. Yet even in this situation, the two didnât move, Ye Mo knew they were set on following him.
Ye Mo wasnât going to burn them of course. He swept with the flame and all the sand below them disappeared, along with the sand around them.
Where people stood showed ground without the fine sand, it was a greyish white rock.
Ye Mo put away the heaven flame and Lin Yiban asked in shock, âIs that fine sand area alive?â
Ye Mo nodded, after the flame had cleared the fine sand, there was a faint stench in the air.
âWhy didnât they move if they were alive? What are they? Why do they look like fine sand?â Xin Zhida asked in confusion. Then, the empty space burned away by Ye Moâs flame started having fine sand appear again. They seemed to have moved over from the distance. It was slow but it never seemed to stop.
âSo disgusting.â Huang Lanlan frowned.
Ye Mo threw down tens of formation flags and said heavily, âIf Iâm not wrong, this fine sand is a rare spirit bug called Spirit Devouring Bug.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSpirit Devouring Bug?â Lin Yiban called out in shock.
Ye Mo nodded. âYes, they are probably Spirit Devouring Bugs, but not completely.â
The Spirit Devouring Bug was ranked under the Fire Eating Bug, but it wasnât weaker than it. It was ranked 11th, and once matured, it had terrifying offensive capabilities. It was even faster than Fire Eating Bug.â
âMaster, why arenât they completely Spirit Devouring Bug? Are they scary?â Xin Zhida subconsciously neared Luo Fei. The fine sand already seemed disgusting just knowing it was alive, much less standing on it.
Ye Mo threw down a few formation flags and set up a defence formation, not allowing the sand from outside to come in. âSpirit Devouring Bugs devoured all that had spirit chi regardless whether it was alive or dead. These bugs are probably just eggs and havenât hatched. If they hatched, they wouldnât be slow like before.â
Huang Lanlan shivered. âBig brother Ye, youâre saying that even though they are eggs they would still slowly devour us right?â
Luo Fei answered this time, âThe things sucked into here before are all gone...â
Everyone fell silent, clearly the things that fell in here before were devoured by these eggs. Even the stones with spirit chi were devoured.
âLuckily master has flame and if they come we can burn them.â Xin Zhida broke the silence.
Lin Yiban smiled bitterly but didnât explain. Ye Mo had heaven flame but there were countless Spirit Devouring Bugs, could he burn them constantly with heaven flame? Ye Moâs cultivation essence would dry up first before all the bugs were burned.
Ye Mo wasnât worried about this, he was thinking about when and if the bugs hatched, would their offensive power increase hundreds of times?
âBrother, what do we do?â Tang Beiwei subconsciously walked to Ye Mo.
âThis place must have an extreme grade spirit range or people wouldnât leave the eggs to hatch here,â Ye Mo said with certainty.
âHuh!â Tang Beiwei exclaimed. âYouâre saying that someone left these eggs here?â
âDefinitely, this suction force is also a formation.â Ye Mo saw it clearly now. This place was different than the Zhao River swamp. Spirit sense couldnât scan out of here due to the formation, if all the Spirit Devouring Bugs hatched, then even a sect would disappear in the blink of an eye.
These eggs only needed dense spirit chi to hatch, later on they would then need to devour some live spirit containing bodies like cultivators or spirit beasts.
âThis formation isnât open for long, meaning that even if people came here before, there wouldnât be a lot. But soon, there would be more and more people coming here,â Ye Mo said with certainty.
He didnât explain as the Spirit Devouring Bugs had begun to mature, they would need large amounts of cultivators to devour. Only then could they hatch. After they hatched, they wouldnât need cultivators to come in, they could find a place with dense spirit chi to evolve themselves. This was a long process and clearly the person setting up the formation had already thought of it.
Even though Ye Mo knew what this place was about, he couldnât leave. Ye Mo was a level six formation great master, but he couldnât even see the corner of this formation, much less break free.
That person wasnât scared that no one would come as once this river bed opened, that dense spirit chi was irresistible. Himself and Lin Yiban were an example, they came in of their own will.
There would be more cultivators wanting to come in here, no one could resist this dense spirit chi. Anyone would want to find out about this place. Death wasnât a threat to cultivators. Only after a certain amount of time with no people coming out alive would people gradually stop coming.
It could be said that the cultivator who set everything up here had a very clear grasp on cultivatorsâ mentality.
Thinking about this, Ye Moâs back began to sweat. He thought of that space devouring spirit in the herb valley and the Truth Fall Palace level seven invisible master. Would this all be done by the same person? If that was the case, what did this person want to do? Did he want to rule the entire cultivation realm or annihilate it?
No one spoke, Ye Mo cast these thoughts aside and smiled. âPerhaps this is the place we wanted to find. Iâm not sure if thereâs spirit marrow here, but Iâm sure thereâs something on par with it.â
âBut these eggs?â Lin YIban asked.
Ye Mo nodded. âWe donât need to care about them for now. Letâs find the source of the dense spirit chi, after we pull away the spirit chi, these bugs will die themselves.â
These bugs were powerful, but there were strict conditions for them to hatch. Without dense spirit chi, they would die quickly.
Just when Ye Mo was about to pave the way with Shadowless, there was another loud rumble.
Another flying magic artifact smashed down tens of meters from them.
