Wanbao Lady

Chapter 209 Eating Dirt

When I got closer, I saw that they were actually human bones!

I saw three skeletons scattered on the ground, half of the body was buried in the black sand, and the exposed parts were covered with dense teeth marks, as if they had been gnawed by something, and all the flesh and blood had disappeared.

Next to the bones, there were three unsheathed swords scattered around, as well as some mirror-like fragments.

Kong Qin picked up the sword and took a look. The words "Zhen Mo" were clearly engraved on the handle.

"This person is actually from the Demon Suppression Division!"

The other four members who came over and saw this scene were also shocked.

Looking at those mirror-like fragments, they are clearly sound transmission mirrors!

"Oh, right, when we encountered the flying boat of the Demon Suppression Bureau before, didn't they say that they had sent a third-grade divine detective to investigate the forbidden area before? It's just that the flying boat that the people who came to investigate were riding was damaged by the whirlpool and couldn't go back, and then they lost contact with several people, so they sent out the fourth-grade divine detective. This can't be..."

Cai Gong was surprised and suspicious.

Qiu Qiyun nodded. "Looking at the condition of these bones, he must have been dead for some time."

So, the first wave of people from the Demon Suppression Division who came to investigate were dead?

And he didn't die from the harsh environment here, but was eaten to death by something!

"Look at these gnawing marks, could they be locusts?"

"Probably!"

The members of the expedition team were suddenly startled.

If a major war broke out between the two sides, there would definitely be some locust corpses scattered here.

However, let alone the corpses of the locusts, they couldn't even see the legs of the insects.

so......

They eat the corpses of their dead counterparts?

"It seems those locusts are more powerful than we thought!"

"The other party is very likely staying in the Wanlingtu area, so everyone should be more careful next time!"

"Yes!"

The palace guard demon Caigong secretly turned his head to look at Chai Gu behind him, only to see that his face was half turned to the side and half hidden in the shadows. He was staring coldly at the white bones on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.

For some reason, Cai Gong suddenly felt a little frightened, and quickly looked away before Chai Gu looked back.

At the same time, it got closer to Kong Qin, who was leading the team.

A few hours later.

Under Chai Gu's guidance, the Jiaozhou boat stopped stealthily behind a high sand dune.

"Climb over... this sand dune, and below... is the Wanlingtu area!"

The treasure hunting team members looked serious, and after casting invisibility and breath concealment spells on themselves, they carefully flew to the top of the sand dune and looked into the distance.

When he saw it, he was stunned and shocked.

This place was originally one of the ancient battlefields of the great war between humans and demons. Countless humans and demons suffered a loss here, and countless bones were left.

The blood of the monks and monsters flowed into the black sand below. Over time, the spiritual blood and monster blood infiltrated and formed the Soil of All Spirits.

Humans are naturally small in size, and after so many years, their bones have basically been buried under the black sand.

The size of the monsters basically increases with the growth of their cultivation level, and some can even be said to be huge monsters!

In the black sand in the distance, I saw all kinds of huge dry bones standing there, each one in a strange shape.

Some are very prominent, some are hundreds of feet long, and some have bellies big enough to hold a boat...

Under the cover of the black sand, a wild atmosphere blows towards you, telling the tragic history of ancient times.

However, among the dry bones as tall as a hill, wherever the sight reached, there were densely packed locusts!

Almost every place where one could step was filled with locusts. They crawled around on all kinds of dead bones, not caring at all about what was beneath their feet. They were all once powerful beings.

Under the dry bones, the black sand that originally covered them disappeared, revealing the dark land underneath.

That is the Land of All Spirits!

Locusts were lying on the spiritual soil, and they had eaten deep pits on the ground. Many locusts were crawling around in the pits, making rustling sounds, which looked terrifying and disgusting.

Qiu Qiyun suddenly covered her mouth and her throat spasmed.

Wan Yue was also looking at the scene below with a frown on his face.

Fortunately, no existence similar to the worm queen has been found so far.

Cai Gong secretly moved in front of Kong Qin and whispered, "Senior, I feel like something is wrong!"

Kong Qin immediately looked at it, "Oh? What's wrong?"

Cai Gong stared at the dense swarm of locusts in the distance and said, "These... don't seem to be locusts!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of all beings.

Cai Gong continued, "I was born as a palace gecko, and I ate a lot of locusts before I became a demon. I know what locusts look like very well. Although these insects look a lot like locusts, they are not locusts at all. Instead, they look like a kind of strange spiritual insect!"

As it spoke, it looked at Kong Qin and blinked, "Senior, you were born as a peacock, and you should have eaten insects before you became a demon. Do you think I was right?"

As far as it knows, locusts are also on the diet of peacocks.

So, if we round it off, since we all ate similar foods before, we should be able to find the clues, right?

Kong Qin: ...

How can I tell it that it used to eat plants mostly and only occasionally ate insects...

Even if they eat insects, they mostly eat crickets, never locusts...

Yes, it used to be such a picky eater!

Looking at Caigong's eyes seeking approval, Kong Qin turned her face away uncomfortably.

"Probably... some kind of spiritual insect..."

Suddenly, Kong Qin seemed to see something strange. He immediately changed the subject and pointed downwards with his wings, saying, "Look, some insects are starting to turn over!"

The other members of the team took a look and found that it was true!

I saw those spiritual insects that looked like locusts began to turn over while eating, and kicked their legs towards the sky, as if they were in great pain.

"What's going on? Are they dying?"

"Isn't it because he was poisoned?"

Zhu Meng looked at the bugs below and said abruptly, "It seems like I, Old Pig, had a stomachache and rolled on the ground in pain."

After hearing what it said, the other members looked again and yes, it was really vivid!

Not long after, the spirit insects that had turned upside down below recovered one after another and flew towards the tall dead bones above as if nothing had happened, vacating their positions so that other companions could gnaw on them.

Thus, a new round of soil-eating competition began.

"Why do they eat the Wanling soil?"

Zhu Meng had some soul-searching questions.

Kong Qin looked at the vast black sand all around her, and then at the spiritual insects gnawing at the soil below.

Although there are a lot of them in number, in terms of quality, most of them are at the Bone Tempering Stage.

In other words, they are still far from reaching the stage of fasting.

"Probably, if you don't eat dirt, you'll starve to death."

Kong Qin sighed.

Although this soil is also called "ominous soil" by the outside world, it is still a kind of spiritual soil.

There is power contained within it.

Hearing this, Zhu Meng was stunned for a moment.

It has been a monster for too long, and has been in the state of fasting for too long. It can survive by absorbing spiritual energy and eating wind and drinking dew on a daily basis.

It has been so long that it has almost forgotten that it once needed food to survive.

Without food, you will starve to death.

Yes, in this lifeless forbidden land, what else can we eat if not soil?
