But those killer grasshoppers all disappeared.

Then, the three of them fell silent.

Unable to bear staring at Dao Jiu any longer, Shen Qian finally asked, "So, how do we get out?"

This grassland is a projection of the world behind the "door," not the real world. In other words, the three of them have only escaped the tomb, but are still trapped in the projection.

"I don't know!" Dao Jiu said blankly.

Having already anticipated what was going on, Shen Qian sighed. Just as he was about to discuss it with Yuan You, an extremely strong agitation suddenly surged from the depths of his mind.

system!

After a moment of surprise, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

He had never felt such a strong reaction from the system before; an extremely dangerous signal spread through his brain.

Just as Shen Qian was about to run away, the commotion suddenly subsided, as if it were an illusion.

Shen Qian frowned, somewhat puzzled, when Yuan You suddenly exclaimed, "It's snowing!"

He felt the cold touch on his cheek. He looked up and, sure enough, snowflakes were falling from the sky.

The wind and snow intensified in a very short time, and in the blink of an eye, the entire grassland turned into a vast expanse of white.

"I can see the outside world!"

Dao Jiu suddenly shouted excitedly and pointed forward.

Actually, he didn't need to point it out, because Shen Qian and Yuan You had already seen it.

In all directions, above and below the sky, as the blizzard intensifies, this "world" is melting.

To be precise, the surrounding grasslands, the sky, and the distant mountains were all melting.

It felt like the "other world" was crumbling, with the real world slowly squeezing in, as if I were inside a painting, while the surrounding pictures were constantly breaking apart.

"I have a feeling that even though I've come out, it might not be a good thing."

Yuan You felt an indescribable sense of oppression, clearly not knowing where that overwhelming feeling of suffocation came from.

Splash!

Finally, the grassland where they were located shattered like a mirror, and the group reappeared on the outskirts of Xiaowang Village.

The wind and snow continued as before, but Dao Jiu appeared in front of Shen Qian in an instant, all nine of his swords drawn, staring intently in a certain direction.

Shen Qian had never seen him look so serious before.

So Shen Qian looked in the direction he was facing, and was immediately stunned, then couldn't help but gasp.

"Then... what are those?"

Yuan You also saw it, and her voice trembled with horror.
