Chapter 11: The Heart of the Scorpion's Lair

According to this seduction frequency, Lin Chen can deal with a wave of sand scorpions in about twenty to thirty minutes, a wave of about three or four, and occasionally five if he is unlucky, and he will all experience a dangerous frontal tear.

Fortunately, the number of battles is more, the experience increases, and the danger of single-handedly fighting a sand scorpion man will become lower and lower, as long as you are careful not to be hit in the head by the tail thorn of the sand scorpion man, there is no soft armor to resist, it will not be a big problem.

It took him almost half a day, not only did he seduce all the twenty-six sand scorpions that could be seen at the bottom of the canyon and kill them one by one, but also seduced some nearby, plus the total number of sand scorpions killed at the beginning was more than forty.

At this point, forty-four sand scorpion human shells had accumulated in his Rubik's Cube space, accumulating a total of 5.4 creation energy.

But that's not the point, the point is that 37 potential points have been accumulated one after another, in addition to raising the Spirit Rhino Step and the Inner Strength March Heart Sutra by one layer respectively, a total of 23 potential points have been consumed, and now there are 14 potential points left.

The internal strength has been improved to the fifth layer, and the internal force has been strengthened a lot, and now he has 20 years of natural strength, both explosive power and endurance have been greatly improved.

It's a pity that the March Heart Sutra needs a full 20 potential points to be strengthened to the next layer, and the remaining 14 potential points are not enough to strengthen one layer, and you can only strengthen the March Sword Technique or Spirit Rhino Step once.

Although the two martial arts have only been strengthened by one layer, the strengthening range is very large for Lin Chen, who was not high in strength, and now he can't say that he is nine out of ten when he singles out a sand scorpion, it is definitely much easier, as long as he is careful, he can basically win.

Of course, you still can't wave, the sand scorpions are still very powerful, and there are quite a few of them, if they fall into a siege, they will die.

The sand scorpion man at the bottom of the valley was killed by him, Lin Chen prepared for a while, went down the slope, and soon reached the bottom of the valley.

On one side of the valley is a knife canyon that narrows and narrows inward, and on the other side is an open valley mouth, and behind a gravel beach is the huge fist mark that reaches a kilometer in diameter.

He thought about it for a while, he didn't dare to go into the canyon, it was too dark in it, the unknown place was too dangerous, and he couldn't be sure that there were only dangerous creatures like sand scorpions in the fragments of this world, and most importantly, he wasn't sure if there were any more powerful sand scorpions, he could only single out the sand scorpions he saw now, if there was a more powerful sand scorpion leader or something, he would definitely not be able to beat it, so...

Fortunately, the sand scorpion people at the mouth of the valley were killed by him, and he didn't enter the valley, as long as he didn't make a loud noise, the sand scorpion people in the valley wouldn't find him.

The gravel beach at the mouth of the valley was only more than 100 meters wide, and soon came to the edge and poked his head carefully, and saw a huge sinkhole, the edge of which sloped down to the very deep valley floor.

The punch was smashed into the ground very deep, even if it had never been measured, according to the ratio of the depth of the pit to the size of the crater, the most central depth was estimated to be more than two hundred meters deep, and there were five knuckle depressions in the bottom of the valley, which contained water and a large amount of greenery.

But this was not Lin Chen's focus, his gaze swept over the bottom of the pit, and he was immediately attracted by a bright light located in the center of the bottom of the pit.

There is an arch in the center of the pit at the top of the five knuckles, at the apex of the arch, a six-sided square yellow light cluster is suspended on the ground three feet above the ground is rotating irregularly, and a lifelike sand scorpion pattern is drawn on all six faces, and there are many patterns on the edges of the six-sided light cluster, at this time, these patterns and the sand scorpion pattern on the front are exuding a faint light, and are gradually brightening.

"What is this?"

Lin Chen didn't recognize what this was for a while, the first time he came, he really hadn't seen this thing, but searching for the information of the books he had read in his mind, he remembered that there was something that seemed to match what he saw in front of him.

But he never dared to confirm it, because the thing he remembered in his mind was somewhat high-end, and it didn't quite bear the same shape as the situation in front of him.

The information recorded in the book he saw, it was a magical treasure called the Heart of the Nest, the source of which is unknown, and the reason for its formation is unknown, only that it is a very magical treasure, as long as the corresponding resources are invested, a specific creature can be continuously summoned from this Heart of the Nest to serve the summoner.

For example, if the six-sided cube in front of you is the heart of the sand scorpion people's lair, as long as enough resources are invested, they will continue to summon the sand scorpion people to fight for Lin Chen, even if they tear apart the same kind, they will not hesitate.

This magical artifact is of little use to individuals, but it is definitely an artifact to those who are interested in opening up new territories, or to those who are lords themselves.

The lord has a lot of resources at his disposal, and he can fully play the role of the heart of the nest, if he can summon hundreds or thousands of sand scorpions to gather, then the thousands of troops and horses galloping, the effect is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Lin Chen hadn't been on the Tower of Eternity network yet, and he didn't know the value of the Heart of the Live, but that didn't prevent him from guessing that the value of this magical treasure was definitely higher than ordinary people imagined, and it could be said that one piece was enough for ordinary adventers to eat for a lifetime.

However, speculation is speculation, after all, the first time he saw it, he was not sure if this was the heart of the nest, and he was not thinking about this now, but how to get the hexahedron from the countless sand scorpions surrounded by them.

This is probably the lair of the sand scorpions, under this fist seal sinkhole, there are more sand scorpions than he imagined, and what he fears most has happened, in addition to ordinary sand scorpions, there are more powerful sand scorpion elites or leaders.

It was a large sand scorpion leader whose physique far exceeded that of ordinary sand scorpion people, ordinary sand scorpion people were only two meters long, and this sand scorpion leader was about three meters and five, and his carapace was black and metallic, and he knew that his defense was extremely high at a glance, and Lin Chen didn't know if the hundred refining steel sword in his hand could pierce it.

And what made him desperate the most was that there was more than one leader of this kind of sand scorpion, there were seven of them just now, and he didn't know if there were any hidden, because he saw that there were many huge caves on the ground around the heart of the nest, which were large enough to accommodate the sand scorpion people to enter and exit, and from time to time the sand scorpion people would burrow into it or out of it.

What made Lin Chen a little puzzled was that the fragments of this world were so big, there was no food and resources, and even vegetation was rare, what did these sand scorpion people rely on to sustain their lives?

Drink the Northwest Wind or eat sand?

But I didn't see them eating sand, not even the grass and trees.

"Wait..."

Lin Chen pinched his chin with his hand, his eyes fell to the ground, and he said to himself:

"Is there a world underground?"

But he immediately rejected the idea, shook his head, and said:

"No way, all the stones and dirt in the fragment of this world have been shattered, and it is impossible for the earth structure to withstand a huge underground space."
