Chapter 6: The Scorpion King

Although he pretended to arrange the positive and negative formations, Feng Ruo's attention was on the old nine and the others and the spirit beasts that were about to rush over in the distance.

At this time, the masked man and the other six people all gathered together as if they were facing a great enemy, and that Lao Jiu quickly pinched the formation to open the rebellious [***] array and the positive and negative nine-star array.

This is the first time Feng Ruo has seen the opening of these two high-level formations, the first in the outermost part is the rebellious [***] formation, the coverage area of this formation is actually three hundred zhang in radius, and the entire formation is shrouded in black smoke, in that black fog, all kinds of strange sounds can be faintly heard, and it looks evil.

In the reverse [***] array is the positive and negative nine-star formation, but the coverage of this formation is only sixty zhang in radius, after the formation is opened, a faint silver light quickly rises in the nine directions around, looking from a distance, it is somewhat similar to the starry sky.

These silver rays converged and finally turned into an extremely delicate and beautiful silver light array!

However, what made Feng Ruo feel quite bad was that the center of these two formations was the position where he was now arranging the positive and negative formations, and this meant that it was impossible for him to leave quietly, if these people couldn't beat the chasing spirit beast, he would also be unlucky, but if these people killed the chasing spirit beast, he seemed to still have bad luck.

Just when Feng Ruo's heart was extremely entangled, more than ten figures rushed in from the outside, and the first person was the old man surnamed Xing, but now he has long lost his graceful bearing, his white hair is messy, his face is ugly, and he is very embarrassed, obviously he has suffered a lot of losses in the previous battle.

As for the people behind him, they were all injured, and even two of them rushed into the formation and fell to the ground with all their strength.

"Torture Boss, how can this be? Liang Xi, what about them?" the masked man couldn't help but exclaim at this time.

"Don't mention it, this Scorpion King is actually an existence that is about to advance to the eighth level, when we rushed over, Na Batian and the others were about to be unable to hold on, so they immediately retreated, and we who didn't know what was going on were tightly bitten by this Scorpion King, Liang Xi and the others were buried in the scorpion mouth just by looking at each other, and we had to retreat first, but even so, there were five or six people lost along the way!"

As soon as the old man with the surname of the torturer said this, a strange roar suddenly came from outside, followed by a puff of black smoke billowing from the rebellious [***] formation, as if it had been stirred by something.

"No, these two formations can't stop this scorpion king, and this thing can summon the dead wood poisonous scorpion anytime and anywhere, we must retreat back to the ancient castle immediately, otherwise it will be too late once it is surrounded!"

Hearing this roar, the faces of the old man surnamed Xing and the others suddenly changed again, and they were busy talking, and then they were ready to rush out of these two formations.

"Wait! This is still a few miles away from the ancient castle, and we may not be able to escape the Scorpion King's pursuit at all, so someone must stay in these two formations to delay the Scorpion King, otherwise if there is no popularity here, it will be difficult to deceive the Scorpion King!"

"Lao Jiu, you stay!" the old man with the surname of the criminal ordered without thinking.

"Boss Punishment, don't!" The old nine suddenly cried and collapsed on the ground, but he immediately shouted hysterically: "Boss Punishment, there is another person who is not ours, let him stay!"

As he spoke, Lao Jiu directly pointed at Feng Ruo, who was hiding on the side.

"Your uncle!" Feng Ruo really wanted to cramp and peel off this old nine now, and seeing everyone's eyes looking over, he immediately retreated sharply!

But the speed of the old man surnamed Xing was faster, and with a wave of his hand, he threw out a talisman seal that exuded a gray mist, and Feng Ruo wanted to dodge it, but he didn't have time in the end, and he was immediately restrained by the two gray qi released by this talisman!

"Use a rare Imprisonment Spirit Talisman to exchange your life, you should be content!" The old man surnamed Torture smiled coldly, and left in a hurry with everyone, and for a while, only Feng Ruo was left in this formation.

Trapped by this imprisoned spirit rune, Feng Ruo's whole body couldn't move, and he couldn't even open his mouth to scold!

"Oops!What should I do?" Seeing that the rebellious [***] formation outside was churning for a while, Feng Ruo was also anxious, if these two formations were broken by the Scorpion King, wouldn't he be dead?

But now that I'm trapped here by that bullshit imprisoning spirit rune, even if I want to unseal the Silver Armor Sky Spider and the Blue Bird to help, I can't do it!

No, you must rush out!

Feng Ruo roared unwillingly in his heart, but what should he do?

In the midst of all his despair, Feng Ruo suddenly thought of the sword art that he had just begun to cultivate! Because this sword art was completely controlled by his mind and mana, and he didn't need to use his hands and feet at all.

Overjoyed, Feng Ruo hurriedly collected his mind, excluded everything, concentrated his thoughts, and at the same time silently used mana to echo!

Maybe it was because of the danger, because his life was on the line, Feng Ruo actually felt an unprecedented sobriety and detachment, in this moment, he felt that he seemed to be detached from himself, this kind of thought was very relaxed, and it was natural to find the moon reflecting short knife behind him!

Immediately, when the situation he had sensed by chance reappeared, the Moon Reflecting Short Knife seemed to have become a part of his body under the connection of this thought!

"Qiang!" With a soft sound, the Moon Reflecting Short Knife behind Feng Ruo came out of its sheath almost without any pause, hovering in the air with a brilliant red glow, steady and steady, motionless as a pine, and at this moment, this blade, which is not even a first-grade sword weapon, can give people a momentum that they dare not look at!

At this time, the rebellious [***] formation outside had turned into light smoke and disappeared without a trace, and at this time, you could see a huge spirit beast that was more than ten zhang high and about dozens of zhang long and surrounded by countless fourth-level deadwood poisonous scorpions, launching a fierce attack on the positive and negative nine-star formation!

For all this, Feng Ruo was unmoved, still maintaining that very mysterious state, and then silently recited the forward and backward sword tricks, moved the Yingyue short knife to his side little by little, and then did not hesitate to attack the gray qi that bound him!

Once, twice, Feng Ruoyan became more and more proficient, and the strength of his attacks became more and more intense, but at the same time, the mana in his body was also rapidly consumed.

However, Feng Ruo didn't dare to be distracted, he just indulged in the moon short knife wholeheartedly!

Finally, just when the mana in Feng Ruo's body was completely consumed, the gray qi was completely broken! At the same time, the positive and negative nine-star formation flashed a silver ray, and quickly disappeared without a trace, this formation was actually broken, and the thousands of dead wood poisonous scorpions swooped up like a tide, almost instantly breaking through the first positive and negative mountain formation that Feng Ruo had arranged before!

"Bluebird, come out quickly!"

Feng Ruo forcibly supported his body, and shouted at the ring on his right hand, he didn't even have a trace of mana now, and he couldn't send mana to it to summon the blue bird, and he had to use this seemingly ridiculous method in great anxiety, because according to his previous attempt, this ring could not bind the blue bird, and this means that as long as the blue bird is willing, he can enter and exit at any time!

"Whew!"

Feng Ruo was still right! I only heard a gust of wind whistling, and immediately followed by his whole person soaring into the air, moving away from the ground extremely quickly, it was obvious that he was caught by the blue bird.

"Thankful!"

Although Feng Ruo's posture is very indecent now, although he is dizzy from the wind blowing in the sky, although he is now weak and uncomfortable!

But all this is nothing to him who has just escaped death, and the resentment he has always had against the blue bird disappeared in an instant!

"It's good to be alive!"

―――――――――― "Hey, I said, can't you be gentle? That's a few dozen feet in the air! Just throw it down! What are you trying to murder? You see that I don't like it, you can say it! I didn't close your mouth, I flew in the wrong direction and didn't admit my mistake!"

On a sand dune in the sea of dead wood, Feng Ruo complained while digging out the sand from his ears, not long ago, after the blue bird grabbed him and escaped, it was flying in an undivided direction, and when he realized this problem, it was too late, this vast sea of sand, where to find the dead wood castle?

And Feng Ruo just scratched a little, and as a result, he was thrown down from the air dozens of feet high by this grumpy blue bird, although because of the soft sand dunes below, he was not hurt much, but his nose, ears, and mouth were all filled with a large handful of sand!

"Alas! It's really unlucky! First I met the bastards of the old ghost, and I almost became the scorpion king's snack, and now I am abused by this blue bird! That's it, I don't know what kind of place this is? God forbid, but don't be the heart of the sea of dead wood!"

Finally shook off most of the sand on his body, Feng Ruo hurriedly took out a large handful of spirit sand to recover mana, after all, it was really terrifying in this place where he didn't know the specific location, who knew if there were any powerful spirit beasts around?

It took a full hour for Feng Ruo to recover about half of the lost mana, but he didn't dare to delay any longer, because there were only three hours left before dawn, and when the time came, where would they hide under that intense light?

It's okay to endure this kind of pain for a while, but the problem is that there will be a beast tide every day at sunset, which can't be avoided, because according to what he saw before, the billowing black smoke brought up by the beast tide is nearly a thousand feet high, who knows if there will be flying spirit beasts in that beast tide?

At that time, even if this blue bird is very brave, it will be difficult to beat four hands with two fists!

"Hey, Brother Bird, listen to me, it's a matter of life and death now!Fly back to where we first set off!" Feng Ruo patiently discussed, believing that this damn stupid bird could fully understand his words.

However, to Feng Ruo's great disappointment, the blue bird didn't pay attention to him at all, just walked around the sand dunes very comfortably, flapping his wings from time to time, and if he dared to force his way close, he would immediately fan him out with one wing!

"It's over, it's over, you dead bird, I'll be killed by you sooner or later, and if I die, I promise I won't let you go!"
