Chapter 541: Is this scorpion a relative of the dragon?
You have to understand that these people are already considered quite talented in the Eastern Frontier. They were able to advance to the Integration Stage in just forty or fifty years, but the Great Ascension Stage was still a high realm that they wouldn't even dare to dream of.
As a result, Mahayana cultivators here are only destined to be slaughtered.
"Yes!"
Young Master Ling took a deep breath: "So the Dragon Scorpion Desert is not just infamous! My ancestors would never have left behind any lies to amuse their descendants, so it's better to believe it exists."
"Don't believe it's unfounded!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone planned to leave, even leaving the two mutated wolf corpses there, too lazy to bother with them anymore. These wolves, with their dragon blood, were bound to have valuable parts.
But they dared not stay in this desert any longer.
What if the dragon-scorpion beast is really that terrifying, and actually comes looking for them?
Rumble…
As luck would have it, the ground began to shake violently!
Everyone's face was filled with shock!
Without a doubt, there's a colossal creature about to burst forth from underground!
"Damn it! Why am I so unlucky?"
Everyone gritted their teeth and cursed silently, wishing they could slap themselves a few times.
They originally thought that since the Dragon Scorpion Desert was so peaceful, even if there was danger, it wouldn't be anything serious. But who could have predicted that something would actually be disturbed!
"Run!" The young master didn't even turn his head, and quickly ran away by channeling his inner energy.
No one else dared to fall behind.
Roar! ! !
A furious roar erupted, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting apart.
A dragon-scorpion beast, whose size was also a size larger than the demon wolf, burst out from the ground!
"Woo~"
The dragon-scorpion beast immediately spotted the eight cultivators. It had come specifically for them, so it swung its tail and spewed terrifying black flames at the eight people with its stinger!
In an instant, the black flames swept across the sky, cutting off all their paths.
"careful!"
Everyone shouted in unison, using all their strength to resist, but the black flames fell as if lava were pouring down.
In an instant, the eight cultivators were completely burned to ashes!
The dragon-scorpion beast turned around and burrowed back into the yellow sand.
Enraged, the Dragon Scorpion Beast King vowed to kill all outsiders who entered the desert.
For a while.
The entire Dragon Scorpion Desert was filled with an even stronger stench of blood, and wails of agony rose from all sides.
"Holy crap, how come so many scorpions suddenly appeared?"
Gu Heng, braving the raging sandstorm, was momentarily dumbfounded as he watched the dozen or so enormous scorpions suddenly burst forth from the yellow sand.
I haven't even been in this desert for an hour, and it seems I've already run into trouble!
no way.
These scorpions posed little threat, so he had no choice but to fight his way through. Gu Heng wielded his goose-feather saber, hacking and slashing as he went, cutting down any giant scorpions that dared to approach.
He had practiced some basic moves.
After all, a long time ago, in the not-so-safe Qingmu City, when he was truly "alone," he needed some survival skills. So after training his body, he needed to learn some sword and saber techniques to avoid being at a loss when encountering bad guys.
As Gu Heng swung his sword, he actually carved a bloody path through the air. But when the giant scorpions saw that his attack was useless, they turned around and kept a safe distance, then spewed black fire at him!
More than a dozen scorpions breathed fire at the same time, and in one go, they burned away half of Gu Heng's clothes!
But he found that the fire was neither hot nor painful, and his skin was not burned when the fire hit it, but his clothes were not so durable.
"Damn it, you're setting fire to it, aren't you?!"
Gu Heng was now at a loss. He wasn't afraid of the scorpion's pincers, but the scorpion's stinger was spitting fire, so he had to dodge.
Although the fire didn't seem to hurt him, when it reached his clothes, it burned off his sleeves, forcing Gu Heng to dodge in a sorry state. If his clothes were burned off, he would be naked later.
Having no other choice, he couldn't bother killing the scorpions anymore and could only run and dodge. Fortunately, he was quite fast, and the scorpions seemed to be afraid and didn't dare to close the distance to chase him.
"and many more."
"It seems like they're deliberately driving me in a certain direction?"
Gu Heng ran for a few minutes as fast as he could before he began to realize something was wrong. The scorpions were not chasing him too much, and they were keeping a certain distance while breathing fire. Moreover, scorpions were swarming in from all directions, but the area directly in front of his escape route was completely empty.
This isn't right.
His heart skipped a beat, and then the desert sandstorm ahead intensified, completely blocking Gu Heng's view! It was pitch black, you couldn't see your own hand in front of your face!
not good!
There's something big waiting for me ahead!
Gu Heng's expression changed slightly. He wondered if he should stop exploring here and just use his teleportation skill to escape. However, after the battle just now, he was already filled with fighting spirit and felt particularly unwilling to leave.
How can you just use the system's functions to escape whenever you encounter a problem?
Even if he had to run away, it was because he had no other choice. If he didn't run, he would die, so he had to run.
These scorpions, as large as wolves and tigers, were slaughtered by him just now, their blood scattering across the vast yellow sand. Even their fire breath couldn't harm him; he only cherished his moon-white robe.
If the clothes are gone, just buy more.
These scorpions posed no real threat to his life, so why should he back down now? In the end, he decided to take the gamble!
As a cultivator, one should face difficulties head-on; otherwise, how can one face others and say that one is a cultivator?
Thinking this, Gu Heng quickened his pace, sprinting through the sandstorm that almost completely obscured his vision. As he ran, a roar that didn't sound like a wolf or tiger came from ahead, but was filled with anger and killing intent.
The sound made him tense up, because in the midst of the swirling yellow sandstorm, Gu Heng's outline could already be seen.
Sure enough, these scorpions chased him here to pave the way for the monster hiding in the yellow sand.
Whoosh!
A gust of sand was blown away, revealing a blurry shadow ahead. In that instant, he threw the goose-feather knife in his hand without hesitation.
This knife was his most satisfying work, bar none. He slashed through so many enormous, fire-breathing scorpion-like monsters with effortless ease, like sprinkling water.
With a painful shriek, a blurry giant figure collapsed amidst the sandstorm, seemingly dying instantly.
at the same time.
The sandstorm gradually subsided.
Gu Heng was surprised by how unpredictable the celestial phenomena in this godforsaken place were. The sandstorm could start and stop abruptly, but at this moment he also saw clearly the true face of the giant shadow that had just collapsed.
His eyes widened in surprise!
That was still a scorpion, but this one was exceptionally large!
Ridiculously big!
The giant scorpion before them was comparable in size to an elephant, standing over three or four meters tall. Its entire body was jet black, and its pincers looked capable of easily snapping a person in two. Its carapace was hard and thick, covered in scales that subtly shimmered with a metallic sheen. Its tail, in particular, was almost as thick as an adult male's body, its stinger like a sharp blade, gleaming with a chilling light. From a distance, it resembled a sharp spear, exuding a terrifying and menacing aura.
Even the eight leg segments of this giant scorpion are as thick as a human arm...
Gu Heng swore that he had never seen such an outrageous giant scorpion, neither in this life nor in his past life.
no doubt.
That must be a monster!
If it weren't a demonic beast, he really couldn't understand why an ordinary scorpion could grow so big, covered in scales, and able to breathe fire, just like... a dragon?
The bizarre idea that suddenly popped into his mind made Gu Heng's eyelids twitch violently!
Dragons have scales, and dragons can breathe fire.
This scorpion has scales and can breathe black fire. Could it be related to the dragon race?
That seems to make sense.
Because this place is called "Sacred Dragon Cave"!
