Ye Lin stood silently with his hands behind his back, watching the Blood Insects beyond the barrier.
He was waiting for Lu Daosheng to trigger a mechanism or some kind of formation.
He was absolutely certain that a formation was concealing this place. Otherwise, how could a mere mechanism stop a Spirit Transformation True Person from searching? That was impossible.
Once a Spirit Transformation True Person released his divine sense, he could perceive what was happening tens of thousands of meters underground. It was truly terrifying.
"Why is there a hole here?"
Suddenly, Lu Daosheng, standing beside Ye Lin, let out a surprised exclamation, then headed forward.
When he reached the spot, Lu Daosheng slowly crouched down and examined the perfectly smooth ground. Then he reached out and began scraping at it.
As Lu Daosheng's fingers moved faster and faster, a gap began to appear in the once perfectly smooth ground.
A talisman lay inside the gap, glowing faintly.
"A talisman?"
Looking at the talisman, Lu Daosheng's eyes flashed with confusion. Then he seized it.
The next moment, the entire ground began to shake violently. As it trembled, the surrounding earth started collapsing, and Ye Lin and Lu Daosheng plunged underground.
At once, the Blood Insects around them went berserk, pouring into the hollow below. No other sound filled the air, only the racket of the Blood Insects beating their wings.
Ye Lin and Lu Daosheng fell for more than ten seconds before landing safely.
Around them stretched a vast hollow. The walls were soaked with moisture, and clumps of water dotted the ground.
Above them, a terrifying swarm of insects surged toward Ye Lin and Lu Daosheng.
The Blood Insects opened their enormous mouths and began gnawing wildly at the golden barrier.
"P-Predecessor, what is this place?"
Lu Daosheng
