As a qualified Joker villain, Yuezheng Yan convinced himself he was just curious to see what kind of heritage treasure Lu Xingyan could find in such a ghostly place, so he ate the poisonous mushroom to help her scout ahead.
The most toxic piece of mushroom, indeed, was far more potent than the previous two scraps he had consumed.
When Yuezheng Yan looked around again, the dreamy pink and purple colors of the sky had faded; in his eyes, the world was now only made up of shades of black, white, and gray.
What appeared to normal people as illusionary mushrooms had at first seemed like mere piles of rocks to him, when he was only slightly poisoned.
But now, severely poisoned, they transformed into gravestones.
Wordless memorial tablets stood in front of the graves, with ghostly figures peeking from behind, their mouths gaping wide, tongues transforming into serpents, slithering toward Lu Xingyan's location.
Yuezheng Yan quickly relayed what he saw to Lu Xingyan.
