Green watched the second group of Skeleton Soldiers advance to scout the area. This time, Locarius also summoned several ravens and sent them flying over to see whether the blue light could strike targets in the air.
The next moment, blue light flashed again. It surged up from beneath the ground and swallowed the Skeleton Soldiers, then kept rising. In the blink of an eye, it swallowed the ravens too.

After several thousand Skeleton Soldiers had been sent in, they finally mapped out the area.
It was a circular region five kilometers across. In Green's field of view, the surrounding mist had cleared, and his vision had expanded another dozen or so kilometers outward.
Only this area remained shrouded in mist. Anything that approached it was swallowed by blue light rising from underground and vanished.
Green could sense dense Psychic Energy within the blue light. Its attack power was roughly at Mid Calamity Rank, which made him wonder whether to send the Great Ape King over. A flight across the area should be something it could withstand.
