Hopefully, it's running incredibly fast ahead, but thankfully, no one is an ordinary person, and catching up to it is more than enough.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The angry roar made the group look behind them, only to see the palace collapsing. Then they saw phantoms suddenly appear above the collapsed palace. The figures seemed to sense their gaze and slowly turned their heads.

They were ordinary faces, but their calm, unwavering gazes sent chills down everyone's spines. They dared not look any longer, turned away, gritted their teeth, and charged forward.

They didn't know how long they had been running when Hope, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. Everyone thought they were safe and were just about to relax when they heard a chewing sound.

The ground beneath them began to undulate. At first, no one understood what was happening, but soon, with a dizzying sensation, they finally realized their current predicament.

"Damn it, we're inside a monster's mouth!"

"Get out of here quickly, this guy's about to eat!"

Looking down, sure enough, a dark passage appeared below, and the soil, trees, and some unidentified animals that had fallen from above disappeared into the passage in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, they were lucky; they had only reached the very edge, so getting out shouldn't be too difficult, but if they hadn't held on tight...

"Ah!!! Help me!!!"

Watching their companions disappear rapidly into the passage, the group who had not yet escaped dared not slow down. They used all their strength to flee, and after escaping from the monster's mouth, they did not dare to stop for a moment. They ran for thousands of meters without stopping until the surrounding ground stopped shaking, and only then did they recover.

In just a short while, everyone was drenched in sweat. It wasn't that their strength had suddenly weakened, but rather that when they were inside the monster's mouth, they couldn't muster any power and could only crawl out like ordinary people. Only now were their lost strength slowly returning.

"Huh...huh...what is that thing?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before."

"It's normal that you haven't seen it before. This is an ancient site of burial grounds, and there's probably a lot more that we don't know about it."

Everyone fell silent. What he said was true. They hadn't even fully figured out the secrets of the Burial Ground, let alone the so-called ancient ruins that were even more mysterious than the Burial Ground.

"grumble--"

Hope squatted down next to Mo Shuwan and called out softly, as if to tell her that it was safe here for the time being.

"Mm." Mo Shuwan nodded without hesitation and quickly took out a herb to swallow. This time, she took a whole piece, which was half the medicinal power she could tolerate after more than a month of cleansing.

Although she wanted to push herself to the limit by inserting more pills, the situation was different now. Wen Zuo also had to take care of Chen Jiaxu and couldn't look after herself, so she could only choose the safest option.

Seeing that Mo Shuwan was planning to use the power of medicine to build up her strength again, many people hesitated. Although using the power of medicine to build up my strength would not be enough to survive the Heavenly Tribulation, the situation is different now. If I continue to use this strength, it is still a question whether I can return to the Western Continent alive.

The scales in his heart began to waver, even subtly tilting towards taking the herbs now to increase his strength. But when he thought about turning to ashes under the heavenly tribulation, the scales tipped back.

Let's wait a little longer; perhaps there are other ways...

Many people share this idea, but there are also those who want to use the power of medicine to build up their strength.

"Never mind, let's increase our strength first to get through this hurdle!" As he spoke, the young man took out a herb that was at least seven hundred years old from his storage tool, seemingly intending to consume it now.

Seeing this, Wang Jiabing, who had been silent all along, suddenly took out a herb. He had just picked off a leaf and was about to put it in his mouth when Wang Jialin, who was beside him, stopped him.

"Are you crazy?!"

Wang Jiabing shook his head. "Sister, I'm very clear-headed right now. I know what you're going to say, but if we can't get out of here safely now, what future is there?"

Wang Jialin was stunned for a moment, "But..."

"Sister... don't forget our situation. We are now in the Burial Ground. It's a good opportunity for us to improve our strength. We should be grateful. Such an opportunity may not come again."

After Wang Jiabing finished speaking, he forcefully pushed away Wang Jialin's hand that was gripping his wrist and put the herbs into the final container without hesitation.

“Sister, Jiabing is right. We were being chased and ended up here by mistake… Now that there are so many good medicinal herbs here, it is indeed an opportunity for us. Those invaders from outside the region seem to have a harder time surviving here than we do. If we seize this opportunity to improve our strength here, we will have a chance to break out of this burial ground.”

"Jia Jia!"

Although the others didn't speak, they were still listening to the three siblings' words, which kept echoing in their minds. Yes, once you're dead, everything is gone; this is where bones are buried...

If they can't even escape their burial ground, what are they talking about when they talk about heavenly tribulations?

Thinking of this, many people sighed, silently took out the herbs they had stored in their storage tools, and no longer hesitated.

Cheng Hua, who was about to stuff herbs into his mouth, was speechless. "Damn it, how did you guys even come up with this idea? So many people are meditating in a place like this all at once. If a monster were to touch it, wouldn't we all be wiped out immediately?"

The extraterrestrial invaders did indeed face more restrictions in the ancient ruins than Mo Shuwan and his companions. While extraterrestrial invaders like the young man they encountered earlier could operate outside the reach of the dark power, powerful extraterrestrial invaders could not. They could only move within the darkness, and once they stepped outside the range of the dark power, they would face a devastating attack.
