Chapter 9: I'm a Slide Shovel

At this point, there is no reason why Mo Yu should not continue to explore.

"Wow, wow, wow,"

Eventually, the footsteps stopped before the fork in the road.

After several experiments, he found that the source qi of the iron feather chicken was significantly more active when it was close to the right aisle.

Seeing this, Mo Yu walked towards the fork in the road on the right without hesitation.

Only the orange firelight flickered in the dark passage, and Mo Yu's fingers slid across the walls, feeling the breath of the years precipitated on it.

After walking like this, the echo of footsteps suddenly became distant.

At the end of the passage was an underground cave, the exact size was not clear, but at least within the range of the firelight, Mo Yu did not see the boundary.

Following the guidance of the Iron Feather Chicken's source qi, he ran briskly in one direction.

Soon, a strange fragrance came.

The moment he smelled this fragrance, the speed of the aura in Mo Yu's body suddenly accelerated, and the speed of absorbing the aura from the outside world also increased.

Looking in the direction from which the smell came, a flower blooming on a pile of rubble caught his eye.

The flowers bloom with five petals, and each petal is dyed with a gradient color from light blue to dark blue, and the shape is like a peach heart, which looks very bewitching.

At the center of the flower, several slender stamens are slightly curved, and the surface is covered with pollen that shimmers with a faint blue light.

The treasure was close at hand, but Mo Yu didn't come forward to pick it for the first time.

He walked around the flowers with a torch in hand, and after making sure that there were no signs of other creatures around him, he gradually walked forward.

As he approached the flowers, he kept staring at the pile of rubble where the flowers had taken root.

So far, the only thing that can cause a change and be dangerous is this pile of rubble.

Walking slowly to the stone pile, Mo Yu now only needed to reach out to pluck the flowers, but he didn't do that.

With a flick of his wrist, the most familiar weapon - the shovel appeared in his hand.

With a shovel in hand, Mo Yu plunged it into the rubble pile, and then stirred it vigorously.

"Whoa-la-"

The rubble rolled down, and the flowers on the pile swayed from side to side.

After stirring a few times, Mo Yu saw that there was no abnormality, so he quickly grabbed the stem of the flower and uprooted it.

In two consecutive vertical leaps, he retreated sharply while retracting the flower into the Qiankun Ring.

Looking at the pile of rubble in front of him, Mo Yu frowned slightly.

- Was he really wits with the air just now?

As soon as this thought appeared, a small piece of sand and gravel fell on the soup pot above Mo Yu's head, making a slight vibration sound.

"Da, da......"

In such silence, the vibration was no different from the sound of a bell.

- There are enemies, up there!

The moment this thought was born, Mo Yu's leg muscles tensed, and the remaining aura in his body also poured into his feet.

The next moment, he jerked to the left, so fast that he almost extinguished the torch in his hand.

Just as Mo Yu made a dodge move, a black shadow jumped down from above the cave.

"Whoosh————"

The sound of breaking the air sounded, and the cold light bloomed.

The shovel in Mo Yu's hand was "decapitated", and only a bare wooden stick was left in his hand.

"Whoop ————"

The soles rubbed wildly against the ground, leaving two distinct marks.

After finally standing firm, he pointed the torch at the position of the black shadow for the first time.

Under the light of the fire, the black shadow also revealed its true face.

- It turned out to be a scorpion!

The scorpion is nearly two meters long, covered with pitch-black carapace, with huge chelae and three pairs of feet on either side of the body.

In the darkness behind it, a scorpion tail with sharp spikes on the end appeared and disappeared.

- It was this scorpion tail that cut off the shovel in Mo Yu's hand just now.

Under the shroud of the dusk firelight, a man and a scorpion confronted each other.

A moment later, it was the black scorpion that took the lead in attacking.

"Whoosh-"

The cold light rose again, and the scorpion tail pierced the darkness and came straight to Mo Yu's heart.

Seeing this, Mo Yu, who had been waiting for him, took three steps to the left in a row, and easily flashed the scorpion tail that came over.

"Hum—"

The aura swirled, and Mo Yu held the wooden stick in his hand and slammed it towards the middle of the scorpion tail.

"Boom!"

Rocks flew and the slender scorpion tail was smashed into the ground by the blow.

Seeing this scene, Mo Yu's eyes showed a bright color.

The black scorpion's attack was much weaker than the attack of the white bone skeleton.

In that case, he didn't have to rush to escape, he could try to fight him.

"Wow, whoa, whoa,"

On the ground, the tail of the scorpion is lined with rubble and swims like a snake.

Although Mo Yu wanted to catch up and make up for another damage, he was stared back by the black scorpion body that was eyeing him next to him.

In this way, one person and one scorpion returned to a state of confrontation.

This time, the black scorpion did not continue to stay in place, but instead crawled around Mo Yu, constantly looking for flaws in his body.

Mo Yu chose the coping method of "responding to all changes with the same", always nailing his eyes to the black scorpion and lifting it everywhere.

After going around Mo Yu, the black scorpion never found an opportunity.

Therefore, it rubs the double chela with some irritation.

Compared with the black scorpion, Mo Yu's mentality is much more relaxed.

- The treasure has been acquired, and he will not lose money no matter what.

After a while, the black scorpion finally couldn't suppress its bloodthirsty desire, and once again chose to take the initiative.

Its body sank, and its six legs exerted force, and it flew directly towards Mo Yu.

Seeing this, Mo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a bold idea appeared in his mind.

With a flick of the torch into the ground, he leaned forward, the soles of his feet arched.

"Bang!"

The ground under his feet shattered inch by inch, and Mo Yu rushed out like a cheetah towards the black scorpion.

With both sides rushing forward with all their might, the distance between the two was drastically shortened.

The wind pressure hit, and the black scorpion's claws quickly enlarged in his eyes, and the distance between the two was close enough for him to see the texture on the black scorpion's carapace.

At the last moment, Mo Yu pushed his knees forward, leaned back with his body, and instantly switched to the posture of "kneeling and sliding".

Strands of hair fell from the air, and fishy-smelling claws slashed against the tip of his nose.

Giant claws, mouthparts, neck......

One by one, the organs in the black scorpion's abdomen swept past Mo Yu's eyes.

Estimating that the distance was enough, Mo Yu exhaled and raised the wooden stick in his hand.

"Give it to me!"

Holding one end of the stick upright, he stabbed forward with all his might.

With the sound of the carapace shattering, Mo Yu stabbed the wooden stick into the black scorpion's abdomen.

Immediately afterward, he pressed the other end of the stick against the ground.

The next moment, the wooden stick was bent sharply due to the black scorpion's own momentum, and it almost became a "bow" shape.

This also caused the sticks to penetrate deeper and deeper into the black scorpion's body.

Tiny wood chips splashed, and although the surface of the sticks was full of cracks, it still didn't break.

As a result, the upper body of the black scorpion is temporarily propped up, and the stick needs to be removed before it can fall again.

Mo Yu's timing was very good, he happened to be in the blind spot of the black scorpion's abdomen at this time, and there was nothing he could do with either the scorpion claw or the foot.

Seeing that his plan was successful, he didn't dare to waste time, and hurriedly turned out from under the black scorpion.

Finding the connection between the black scorpion's body and the scorpion tail, he flipped his wrist, took out a bone chopping knife from the Qiankun ring, and then raised his hand to make a knife.

- As long as he breaks off the most threatening scorpion tail, he can have the advantage in the rest of the battle.
