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, ‘Why did Shadowless eat the fine sand? Why would sand have emotions?’
Ye Mo instantly had a bad feeling. There was something wrong with the fine sand. He immediately called out,
Nobody move!
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 Tong’s 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 didn’t 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 didn’t move, Ye Mo knew they were set on following him.
Ye Mo wasn’t 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,
Is that fine sand area alive?
Ye Mo nodded, after the flame had cleared the fine sand, there was a faint stench in the air.
Why didn’t they move if they were alive? What are they? Why do they look like fine sand?
Xin Zhida asked in confusion. Then, the empty space burned away by Ye Mo’s 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.
So disgusting.
Huang Lanlan frowned.
Ye Mo threw down tens of formation flags and said heavily,
If I’m not wrong, this fine sand is a rare spirit bug called Spirit Devouring Bug.
Spirit Devouring Bug?
Lin Yiban called out in shock.
Ye Mo nodded.
Yes, they are probably Spirit Devouring Bugs, but not completely.
The Spirit Devouring Bug was ranked under the Fire Eating Bug, but it wasn’t weaker than it. It was ranked 11th, and once matured, it had terrifying offensive capabilities. It was even faster than Fire Eating Bug.
Master, why aren’t they completely Spirit Devouring Bug? Are they scary?
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.
Spirit Devouring Bugs devoured all that had spirit chi regardless whether it was alive or dead. These bugs are probably just eggs and haven’t hatched. If they hatched, they wouldn’t be slow like before.
Huang Lanlan shivered.
Big brother Ye, you’re saying that even though they are eggs they would still slowly devour us right?
Luo Fei answered this time,
The things sucked into here before are all gone…
Everyone fell silent, clearly the things that fell in here before were devoured by these eggs. Even the stones with spirit chi were devoured.
Luckily master has flame and if they come we can burn them.
Xin Zhida broke the silence.
Lin Yiban smiled bitterly but didn’t explain. Ye Mo had heaven flame but there were countless Spirit Devouring Bugs, could he burn them constantly with heaven flame? Ye Mo’s cultivation essence would dry up first before all the bugs were burned.
Ye Mo wasn’t worried about this, he was thinking about when and if the bugs hatched, would their offensive power increase hundreds of times?
Brother, what do we do?
Tang Beiwei subconsciously walked to Ye Mo.
This place must have an extreme grade spirit range or people wouldn’t leave the eggs to hatch here,
Ye Mo said with certainty.
Huh!
Tang Beiwei exclaimed.
You’re saying that someone left these eggs here?
Definitely, this suction force is also a formation.
Ye Mo saw it clearly now. This place was different than the Zhao River swamp. Spirit sense couldn’t 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.
This formation isn’t open for long, meaning that even if people came here before, there wouldn’t be a lot. But soon, there would be more and more people coming here,
Ye Mo said with certainty.
He didn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 couldn’t leave. Ye Mo was a level six formation great master, but he couldn’t even see the corner of this formation, much less break free.
That person wasn’t 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 wasn’t 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 cultivators’ mentality.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo’s 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.
Perhaps this is the place we wanted to find. I’m not sure if there’s spirit marrow here, but I’m sure there’s something on par with it.
But these eggs?
Lin YIban asked.
Ye Mo nodded.
We don’t need to care about them for now. Let’s find the source of the dense spirit chi, after we pull away the spirit chi, these bugs will die themselves.
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.
