Lu Yi's idea is actually very simple, that is, to see if he can find a way to take these beetles away, in that case, if he is fine, he will feed them the corpses of demon beasts, and let them help him transform this spiritual power crystal, with Lu Yi's current state, the spiritual power stored in the body is equivalent to the content of a hundred high-grade spirit stones, so the spiritual power crystals produced by the corpse of a quadruped camel are enough to supplement his spiritual power, and this effect is quite considerable. With these crystallizations, it is sure to play an unexpected role at a critical moment.

Lu Yi first released his spiritual power to explore the sand dunes where those beetles were located, and he found that there were a lot of crystalline particles mixed in this dune, but these crystalline particles may have existed for a long time, and many of them have lost their spiritual power. Because of these crystalline particles, Lu Yi's spiritual power was not able to penetrate too far under the sand dunes before it was interrupted because of the great attenuation. Lu Yi didn't dare to dig up the gravel, for fear of scaring the beetles away by startling the grass and snakes, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to think of a suitable strategy to see how to find out the details of these insects.

The little monkey came back dejected, it didn't catch the right prey this time, seeing the frustrated look of the little monkey, Lu Yi suddenly had an idea, why not come up with a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?

Lu Yi instructed the little monkey to contact the giant tiger and the giant eagle to catch more demon beasts and come back, there is no limit to the level, of course, the higher the better, the number should be more and the volume should be larger.

The little monkey was very interested in this new order, and ran happily again, while Lu Yi circled around the entire sand dune, he found a few points, and planned to wait for the little monkeys to catch the demon beasts, so he threw those poor test objects* in different places, and then took advantage of the time when the beetles came out to feed, and saw for himself if he could find an opportunity to find out where their nest was, what was inside the nest, and whether they could remove their nest.

It didn't take long for the little monkey to drag back a wild donkey that was a foot long, the giant tiger also brought a sand pig in his mouth, and the giant eagle grabbed a sand fox that was still struggling with both claws. The three guys watched curiously as Lu Yi finished the three poor demon beasts, and soon the smell of blood spread, and when the tide of beetles appeared, the little monkey flew into the air in fright, and the giant tiger and giant eagle also fled away. Lu Yi calculated the time for the beetles to devour the corpses of the demon beasts, and quickly came to the place where they concentrated on drilling out of the ground, and then Lu Yi took out a slender soft whip and inserted it into the depths of the sand dune. Lu Yi used the soft whip to explore a large area under the sand dunes, and roughly probed the outline of the crystal layer built by these beetles, this crystal layer is a jujube core type as high as twelve or thirteen zhang, and the widest point is more than five zhang, its outer crystals also seem to be a little fragile, the slightest carelessness may shatter, it seems to be a little difficult to dig it out completely from under the sand without damaging the slightest bit.

The beetles outside ate the corpses almost finished, Lu Yi hurriedly pulled out his soft whip and hid far away, after these beetles returned to the nest, Lu Yi collected the spiritual power crystals they discharged again, and then arranged for the little monkeys to catch the demon beasts again, and he himself tried to arrange a phantom array in the place where these beetles ate, to see if they could confuse them. Because Lu Yi didn't know if these beetles would have spiritual intelligence, if they didn't have spiritual intelligence, the phantom array would not work on them, so after Lu Yi arranged the phantom array, he thought about it and arranged a trapping array, which can work on any living beings who enter it, and Lu Yi plans to find a way to dig out their nests after trapping them.

Before Lu Yi had set up the magic circle here, the three guys rushed to capture the three demon beasts, and the scene just now made them feel very novel, so the three of them quickly came back with their respective prey and wanted to watch it again. Throw their respective prey on the ground, and then the three guys squatted behind Lu Yi's ass and watched Lu Yi work there, until the sky was completely dark, Lu Yi finally completed all the arrangements, he took a long breath, put the three baits in the middle of the circle, and threw a hook in the air to cut, and Lu Yi quickly hid in the air.

"Rustle!", the sound of the beetles climbing over the dunes sounded extremely terrifying, and they quickly gathered around the bait in the night, and when they all entered the magic circle, Lu Yi took the lead in activating the phantom array, and sure enough, these beetles were not affected by the phantom array at all, and still gnawed on the corpses there, which showed that they really did not have spiritual intelligence, but only foraged by instinct. Lu Yi launched the trapping array again, but these beetles were busy eating one by one, and they didn't notice that they were trapped, which also made Lu Yi feel speechless. It wasn't until they had eaten all three baits, and when they were ready to return to their nests, that they realized that something seemed to be blocking their way out. These beetles circled around the trapped array, as if they were looking for a way out, and even frantically gnawed on the spiritual shield that blocked them from going out, but all of this was useless, and the trapped array arranged by Lu Yi was difficult for ordinary eighth-order early stage monks to break, not to mention these little beetles that were not even of the sixth order? Lu Yi observed for a while, and after making sure that they could not break out of the formation in a short time, he came to the sand dunes where the beetle's nest was located again, and now he had to find a way to dig out the beetle's nest intact, and then try to throw it into the trap to see if those beetles would burrow into the nest. Lu Yi asked the little monkeys to keep an eye on the movements of the beetles in the circle, and when they found something wrong, they quickly notified themselves, and he began to move the sand dunes carefully and patiently.

The moon sets, the sun rises, and the moon sets, and Lu Yi's work took a day and a half to dig out the complete beetle nest from under the sand dunes after the third day. Looking at the insect hive completely constructed of spiritual power crystals that emitted a dazzling light under the sunlight, Lu Yi's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, this time the excavation was almost perfect, and the insect hive was not damaged at all. Lu Yi was pleased to appreciate his masterpiece, but suddenly found that there seemed to be a shadow in the core of the hive that had just moved, this discovery surprised Lu Yi, could it be that there are still living creatures in this hive?!

Because the spiritual power can't penetrate through, Lu Yi can only observe the core of the hive from the outside in the sunlight, because the hive is all composed of crystals and has a certain refraction of light, so Lu Yi can't completely see what is in the middle of the hive, but vaguely sees that there seems to be a baby-sized shadow, and just now this shadow seems to have moved slightly. Lu Yi stared at the shadow and observed intently, and sure enough, after a while, the shadow at the core of the hive moved again, so that every once in a while, the shadow would move, which was very conclusive, and it felt like a human heart "banging", which was very weird.

Lu Yi observed for nearly an hour, and found that the shadow in the core of the hive had no other abnormalities except for the rhythmic beating, and his heart was a little settled, and he now planned to move this thing into the trap to see how those beetles would react. Lu Yi used his spiritual power to slowly lift up the insect nest, which was larger than a room, and flew to the sky above the trapped array, opening a gap from above, and then carefully placing the insect nest in the magic circle. In the process of the hive slowly descending, the strange "heart" once again appeared rhythmically beating, those beetles seemed to feel something, when the hive entered the circle and beat for the first time, they all gathered under the hive, anxiously turning around as if looking for the hive, when the huge hive finally landed, these beetles could not wait to drill into the hive from the hole in the hive. Due to the entry of these beetles, the original crystal clear hive has turned into a yellow color like a sand dune, and if you don't look closely, it is impossible to tell whether it is a hive or a sand dune. The beetles never moved again after entering the hive, and the hive stood silently in the trap like a dead thing. After Lu Yi observed for a long time, he once again asked the little monkeys to catch their prey, and this time they were asked to catch them alive, or the size and rank were not limited, and the only requirement was to be alive.

Not long after, the giant tiger took the lead in bringing back a sand rabbit, Lu Yi threw it into the trap, the rabbit was frightened and jumped around, and passed by the edge of the insect nest several times, but the insect nest did not move. The little monkey also caught a yellow sheep, and Lu Yi threw the yellow sheep into the formation again, but the insect nest still did not react. The giant eagle caught a sand fox again, Lu Yi threw the sand fox into the formation, the sand fox saw the sand rabbit and the yellow sheep and pounced without hesitation, and pressed the sand rabbit to the ground after a few bites, the sand fox has returned to the west, and the sand fox was waiting to enjoy a good meal, and suddenly "rustle" The sound sounded, and the beetles that smelled the bloody smell began to pour out of the hive, and the sand fox was also frightened, and with a scream, he discarded the delicious food in his mouth and jumped to the edge of the circle, looking at a sand rabbit in horror, and in a moment there was not even a bone left, and it was gnawed. The beetles didn't seem to be interested in living creatures, and after eating the carcass of the sand rabbit, they hid back in their nests. Lu Yi made a new attempt, he injured the sand fox and the yellow sheep, and then released their blood to see if he could lure out the beetles, but the two injured demon beasts failed to attract the attention of the beetles, and it was not until they died that the beetles reappeared and gnawed their corpses clean, as if these beetles could distinguish the dead and the living.

Now Lu Yi was relieved that these beetles did not seem to be aggressive, so Lu Yi began to study the next plan.
