Chapter 37: The Foodie Scorpion Demon

It turned out to be a scorpion spirit.

It was a huge dark red scorpion, resembling a lute, and its body was covered in a highly chitinous crust with a metallic texture. With a pair of huge steel tongs in front of him, relying on his hard shell, he smashed open the gate of Longwei Fort and rushed out. With his nimble and agile six legs, he rushed to escape from here.

From afar, I saw the dark red poisonous needle on the tail, shining with a strange cold light, like a small boat, galloping and stirring up clouds of dust on the ground.

At this moment, only a sound was heard in the air, and a silver-white translucent arrow flew quickly behind the scorpion, the scorpion realized the danger behind him, and resolutely stopped, his body paused for a moment, the center of gravity was lowered, and the arrow instantly crossed the top of the scorpion's head, and the whirlwind generally inserted into the ground in front of the scorpion.

When it was too late, the scorpion spirit made a big turn, turned its huge body, and sprinted again like an arrow off the string, but every time it deviated from the course, there was always an arrow that instantly attacked to block its progress, several times, and finally forced it to panic and rush straight in my direction.

Yunsheng's technique of driving away monsters is not bad.

There are still 100 zhang away.

There are still fifty zhang away.

Thirty zhang.

Twenty zhang.

Ten zhang.

It's already in sight.

The scorpion spirit has successfully crossed my eyes, and now I can start chasing.

In order not to be discovered, I kept a distance from it. It didn't seem to notice me, and I was glad to find that it was running away in the direction of its nest nine times out of ten.

It's just what I want.

The direction of its escape was a dense forest, and the road was overgrown with unknown vines and vines, and these lush vegetation trees provided it with good cover.

The deeper you go into the forest, the more chilly it feels.

After tracking it for about half an hour, I saw it turn into a boulder, and when I arrived, I found that I had lost its breath.

I looked around and found a trace of trampled vegetation, and followed the trail all the way, only to find that the sign of being trampled suddenly stopped in the middle of the way, like a huge youkai that had evaporated and disappeared in an instant.

This change should be the shrinkage of the demon body. Its lair may be nearby.

I continued to search and finally found a cave. The size of the entrance to the cave was indeed not enough to accommodate the passage of such a small boat.

I tried to lean inside, and the further I went, the more damp the stone walls on both sides became, and the wind blew from the holes and made people's backs cold, with a pungent fishy smell. As the light became dimmer and dimmer, I used the Spirit Burning Technique to send out three spirit balls like night pearls around my body, illuminating the surrounding vision, dispelling the demonic atmosphere, and continuing to go deeper.

The cave became more and more empty, like a silk cave, and was filled with different side paths. The smell of fish was getting worse and worse, but there was no sign of the scorpion demon, so I had to continue to follow the direction of the fishy smell.

The yin wind gusted, and people couldn't help but feel a little cold.

There was a "click" sound, and in this extremely quiet environment, it was extremely eerie. In the silvery light of the spirit ball, I looked down and found that I had stepped on something under my feet, and when I looked closely, it was a human thigh bone, and then I looked up, not far away, three or two skeletons hung upside down on the stone wall.

I frowned, lifted my feet, and took two steps back.

The Scorpion Essence should be right in front of this. But it was so dirty and smelly, and to be honest, I didn't really want to go in.

As expected, this should be the scorpion spirit's lair.

But, it's all here. With a soft sigh, I floated my whole body up so that I wouldn't step on the ground again.

The cave was very dark, and I continued by the light of the three orbs. In the burst of fishy smell, I suddenly noticed a trace of abnormal fragrance, invading the tip of the nose.

Following the scent, I flew slowly, turned a corner, and a passage full of corpses on both sides came into view.

It is more vivid to say that it is a corpse, but it is better to say that it is the rations of monsters. Each corpse was hung upside down with a pipa hook, neatly lined up. Naked, disemboweled and disemboweled with severed limbs, just like the meat strips and pig's trotters sold in street pork shops.

The further you go inside, the fresher the upside-down corpse becomes. After a rough count, there were no less than thirty. And these corpses, all of which can be gendered, are the bodies of young men.

As soon as I walked this way, I entered a large passage, and when I looked back at the place where the corpse was displayed, it was only a branch of the passage here.

I thought to myself, this is going to get lost.

I was hesitating whether to go left or right when I heard a creaking sound.

At this moment, I was shocked to feel a trace of coldness on the back of my hand, and then a tingling sensation followed. I looked up and saw that a drop of venom had fallen on the back of my hand, trying to corrode my skin.

Fortunately, I was self-healing, and the wound on the injured area could no longer spread, but after a while, it gradually recovered as before.

Looking at this wound, if this scorpion demon was the one that Ling Xingzhen did evil before, it would be easy for me to come here.

Listen again, the sound of rustling comes from the depths of the cave.

Getting closer, getting closer.

If you listen carefully, it should be the passage on the right.

It was supposed to be the depths of the cave, and I flew to the right.

After a short distance, the first bat showed its head around the corner, like a spark on fire.

There seems to be more, more to come.

Immediately afterward, a large wave of vampire bats swept over like locusts.

Without much thought, I conjured up the three spirit orbs around me as an enchantment and headed head-on.

With a stormy sound, all the bats that crashed into my enchantment were shattered.

And the sight was already obscured by a dense swarm of bats.

I simply crossed the swarm of bats, turned east and west, and finally landed outside the door of an underground hall.

The walls around the main hall were regularly lit with torches, and above the main hall, there were four large pillars supporting the weight of the whole hall, and not far from the pillars stood a metal cage that was not too small or small, and in the middle of these four pillars was placed a huge long stone table, on which a human head was placed at a distance of half a zhang.

If you look closely, this is not the case, it should be said that five young men were "imprisoned".

He said that he was "detained", but he didn't know if the description was accurate or not.

The five men only showed their heads on the table, and they all seemed to be dead. One by one, their faces were stiff and white, and the one on the far right, with his eyes hollow and his lips half-opened, seemed to be saying "help me", as if it was my delusion again.
