At this moment, the ink color in the sky began to gradually fade outward, and the center was completely under the gray sky.

Although Yu Wan was far away from the center, most of the monks who continuously cleansed their bodies with spiritual power had good hearing and vision. Not to mention that she had opened up her internal organs through the Erosion and Prosperity Technique, and her five senses were sharper than those of her peers.

At this time, she looked outside through the formation, and the weak light did not affect her vision and investigation at all.

After a night of growth, the color of the pillar has deepened significantly compared to late at night, and has turned into beige. The height and size have not changed, and are still within the range of two people tall and one person waist thick.

However, the bamboo-like marks on the pillars became more and more obvious. When Yu Wan looked up, she happened to see these "pillars" shrinking their bodies up and down through the bamboo-like marks.

After quickly walking around the edge of the formation, Yu Wan found that these "pillars" were densely packed together, less than half a foot away from the edge of the formation.

She also observed that every time these bamboo pillars were stretched up and down, the whole body would slowly move forward an inch or two.

If we continue at this speed, we will reach the edge of the defensive formation in less than two moments.

Yu Wan didn't know the strength of such monsters, but because they could appear silently, she didn't dare to underestimate them.

While quickly releasing his consciousness into the sky above his head to check the situation outside these "pillars", Yu Wan put away the things on the ground and walked quickly to the stone tablet that appeared inexplicably.

After his spiritual consciousness was thrown into the air, it quickly spread out. The next moment, Yu Wan's face tightened and his heart sank.

She didn't expect that this "pillar" covered such a wide area. It was all covered with this kind of thing within more than a hundred miles, and her consciousness could not completely cover it.

"Well."

As soon as Yu Wan walked to the stone monument, there was a violent impact on her forehead. She was in pain and half-knelt on the ground while holding the stone monument.

I didn’t expect this thing to be able to swallow people’s consciousness...

Yu Wan was shocked and hurriedly withdrew all his consciousness.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast she was, nearly 20% of her consciousness was still swallowed by these "pillars".

Yu Wan endured the severe pain and dizziness in her head, took out the Strengthening Pills and swallowed 5 pills.

She held the stone tablet with her right hand firmly on the smooth and obsidian surface. After taking several deep breaths, she slowly suppressed the severe pain in her head under the influence of the elixir.

The dizziness in his head eased a little, and Yu Wan stood up slowly while holding on to the stone tablet.

While she was enduring the pain and adjusting her breath, she noticed from the corner of her eye that a bunch of "pillars" outside were getting closer.

Not only that, the bamboo-like areas on the surface of the "pillar" deepened in color, and in just a few breaths, it was almost close to maroon.

The color on the surface of the "pillar" is only slightly darker, a little closer to turmeric.

Although Yu Wan has never seen such a creature, as a spiritual cook, she knows that in the world of cultivation, the color of the skin of spiritual herbs will tend to become darker when they are about to mature.

The higher the grade of the spiritual herb, the more rapid and obvious the changes in appearance, smell, etc. will be when it matures.

Although the group of things in front of him had no smell, judging from the changing appearance, Yu Wan did not dare to relax now. He could only endure the headache and nausea and took out the purple-edged sword to prevent sudden changes from the outside world.

Heng Ha was also called out by her at this moment, asking them to always be alert to changes in things outside.

And she turned around to look at the stone tablet, Tomb Garden, this must be the garden that the tauren mentioned.

Although she didn't know the conditions for the appearance of this stone monument, she guessed that the entrance must be inseparable from this stone monument.

Unable to use his spiritual consciousness, Yu Wan touched it inch by inch with his left hand. Holding a knife in his right hand, he slashed at the stone tablet from time to time to test whether there were any mechanisms, nodes or the like.

In less than a moment, the power of the five middle-grade God-Reinforcing Pills was all used up. The sea of ​​consciousness was not suppressed by the cooling and soothing power, and waves of pain, dizziness and nausea surged over him.

This time, her consciousness was not as depleted as in the past. Her sea of ​​consciousness felt as if she had been hit with a stick by a high-level monk with all her strength. Her whole body felt dizzy and painful.

Yu Wan was helpless and immediately swallowed another handful of God-Reinforcing Pills. After stabilizing the discomfort in the sea of ​​consciousness, he ignored the cold sweat all over his body and continued to search.

Heng Ha was running back and forth in the magic circle. Not only did he need to watch the approaching turmeric "pillars", he also needed to constantly dispel the Yin Qi approaching his body.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, the ginger "pillar" that was approaching the magic circle stopped.

Although the body of the "pillar" was still squirming up and down through the bamboo-like joints, it did not take another step forward.

Just when Heng Ha was curious and Ha Ha's head was looking out from the edge of the formation, a "pillar" facing him suddenly retracted suddenly and hung down from the top of the sky, straight to the position of Ha Ha's head.

With a bang, the top of the "pillar" hit the boundary of the magic circle, and a crack suddenly appeared in the center that spanned the entire top plane. The next moment, the crack opened and closed, turning into a terrifying big mouth.

The mouth appeared and opened to its maximum in an instant, with the corners of the mouth grinning to the side of the "pillar", and the entire mouth completely occupied all the top positions.

The teeth on the edge of the mouth were fine and sharp, shining with a cold light, and once again pounced in the direction of Haha's head.

This time there was no loud noise after hitting the barrier. The big mouth opened and closed at the impact point, as if it was eating something.

"Hum hum."

"Hahaha."

Heng Ha, who was the target of the attack, saw every move of the "pillar" throughout the whole process. He originally wanted to provoke him, but when he saw this strange situation, he immediately ran to Yu Wan and warned him.

Yu Wan stood next to the obsidian stele of equal height and groped for a long time, but still had no clue.

At this moment, when she saw Heng Ha coming over and heard Heng Ha's description, she turned around and looked at where they were pointing.

Outside the formation, a thick, long and extremely ugly yellow insect was seen with its big mouth open, constantly gnawing at the formation's barrier.

The insect in front of me has long since lost its straight pillar appearance. Two long tentacles appeared above the big mouth at the top of its head. On the side of its body facing the sky, there appeared a hard ginger shell and brown chestnut bamboo joints. Traces are evenly distributed on it.

Looking at the side of the "pillar" facing the ground, the skin on the surface becomes either full of wrinkles or as smooth as a flat satin cloth as it stretches.

At this moment, the insect had already broken away from the ground, and Yu Wan could clearly see that its tail was flat, like an open folding fan. From the luster flowing from the tail, she guessed that this part should be as hard as the back of the insect.

When Yu Wanchu saw the true appearance of the insect, his pupils shrank and his heart jumped.

Could this be the beetle mentioned in the Monster Chronicles?

She once saw a kind of insect from the demon beast journal given by her master. Its body was earth-colored, its body was like a snake, but much thicker. It also had a hard shell on its back, a flat tail like a whale's tail, and a faceless head. A big mouth and a pair of tentacles.

This kind of insect is called beetle.

It is said that beetles are born on the earth, just like the earth contains all things, and they can eat anything.

Regardless of flowers, plants, spiritual objects, rotten flesh and bones, or even the souls and blood of cultivators and monsters, it can devour anything that is filled with spiritual energy.

Including the spiritual consciousness of the cultivator, as well as the spiritual shield composed of formations, etc.

The jade slips never described the beetle's pre-adult form, so Yu Wan didn't recognize it at all at first.

No wonder it can swallow my consciousness. I didn’t expect it to be a beetle...

The master once made a mark on the jade slip, describing how delicious the meat of a beetle is and how it should be eaten.

Moreover, his coriander food biography also recorded more than ten cooking methods of coriander.

I thought I would have to wait a long time before I could eat spiritual food again, but I didn't expect that the underworld also had such heavenly ingredients.

She looked at the beetles still eating outside the formation and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Yeah~ There are new ingredients, eat bugs~ The beetles can be regarded as land shrimps, hahaha~
