Chapter Seventy-Two: The Ruins of the Western Wilderness City, the Nine-Tailed Scorpion in the Cave
Compared to the previous few days, not only has the number of demon beasts decreased a lot, but the number of mercenary organizations traveling on the road has also decreased sharply.
The effects of the beast tide are not over yet.
Along the way, the two brothers Li Kaigu and Li Gukai took Su You and Jiang Nu'er, and walked down the cliff very smoothly, and even rushed all the way to the vicinity of the ruins of the West Wilderness City without encountering any danger, such a quiet surrounding environment made it difficult for the group of four to get used to.
"It seems that the impact of the beast tide is indeed very great, and the demon beast herds that were originally seen everywhere in the desert location can now be seen near the ruins of the Western Wilderness City, even the cliffs that are themselves the gathering place of demon beasts are much deserted."
After looking around carefully, Li Kaigu immediately turned around and said to Su You: "Master Su, our two brothers can only send you here, and the next road from the ruins of the West Wilderness City to Poplar City will depend on you to follow the guidance of the map, after all, we have to go back to take care of the children and take care of the village, and the road to Poplar City is far away, I am afraid it will be difficult to rush back to the village in a short time." ”
Su You shook his head and said, "It's okay, according to the agreement, you two brothers can be regarded as having completed this transaction, and according to the previous agreement, I still have to give you spirit stones as a reward." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su You took out just one hundred high-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and forcibly stuffed them into Li Kaigu's hands, and then urged the two brothers to hurry back to the village to take care of the two children who were guarding at home.
Li Kaigu, who knew that he would not accept the spirit stone if he took it back, did not twist, and then after saying goodbye to the two of them with Li Gukai, he turned around and walked towards the cliff, preparing to return to Lijia Village the same way.
And after waiting for the two brothers Li Kaigu to leave, Su You took Jiang Nu'er along the road to the ruins of the West Wilderness City that he wanted to go to a few days ago.
As the rumors say.
Even though it has become a ruin now, the original grandeur of the Western Wilderness City can still be seen from the scale of the ruins, and the demon beasts entrenched in it add a bit of danger to it.
But it was precisely because there were a large number of demon beasts entrenched among the ruins, so the ruins of Western Wilderness City had always been the most ideal place for cultivators in the desert region to hunt demon beasts, and even more popular than those hunting grounds.
However, as more and more demon beasts gathered in the ruins of the Western Wilderness City, cultivators who realized that the danger of hunting demon beasts here had skyrocketed, eventually gave up this natural hunting ground for the time being, and instead went to hunt demon beasts elsewhere.
On the contrary, now that the beast tide has receded, even the demon king like the nine-tailed poisonous scorpion has been seriously injured and retreated, which has affected the ruins of the Western Wilderness City, greatly reducing the number of demon beasts entrenched here, and it seems that it is indeed much safer than before.
So before going to Poplar City, Su You planned to wander around the ruins of the Western Wilderness City first, and by the way, see if he could hunt demon beasts to hone his strength and improve his cultivation realm.
Delve into the ruins of the Western Wilderness City.
Soon encountered three or two demon beasts in the cultivation realm near the four heavens of the Divine Spirit Realm, and in the case of Jiang Nu'er sweeping the array, Su You immediately rushed forward with a spirit sword in his hand, and fought three demon beasts of the four heavens of the Divine Spirit Realm with the strength of one person.
In the case of having the three Divine Fire Origins, the Extreme Yin Pole Yang Yuan Dan and the Chaos Dao Heart, Su You, who could even be dual-purpose, multi-purpose, or even multi-purpose, did not fall behind at all when facing the siege of the three Divine Spirit Realm demon beasts, but instead appeared to be light and easy in the fight.
Over time, on the contrary, the three Divine Spirit Realm demon beasts with superior numbers were burned by the fire spirit power released from the Extreme Yin Pole Yang Yuan Dan, and they all retreated, but they were also broken by Su You one by one with the Demon Lock Divine Sword.
After using the spirit sword to cut off the flesh and blood of the demon beast, and then digging out the three demon beast cores, Su You, who only felt comfortable, immediately got up and took Jiang Nu'er to the deeper part of the ruins to look for other demon beasts.
In this way, I have been looking for demon beasts in the ruins, and hunting demon beasts until dusk and evening.
"Let you run again! I've finally been caught. ”
"Wait... This smell is..."
Chasing a monster beast with a very fast speed and running to a dark and deep cave, he finally dug out the monster beast core and put it in the storage bag, and Su You, who was thinking about going out and Jiang Nu'er to continue hunting the demon beast, was attracted by a faint smell of blood emanating from the depths of the cave.
As he turned his head to look deeper into the cavern, he noticed drops of golden blood and armor-like shell fragments scattered across the ground.
"This is..." Jiang Nu'er followed Su You's trail and came to the cave at this time, and she also saw these traces on the ground, she immediately frowned and whispered to Su You: "If I'm not mistaken, these traces should be left by the Demon King Nine-Tailed Scorpion that appeared when the beast tide broke out before, because this golden demon beast blood is generally evolved by the demon king-level demon beast in the transformation and evolution, and these carapace-like fragments should be the shell that fell off the nine-tailed scorpion, When this demon beast transforms and evolves, it will indeed shed the aging shell on its body, so that its new body can become bigger, taller and harder. ”
"It's just that the nine-tailed scorpion has just completed its transformation before, and it stands to reason that it will take at least a year and a half for the next transformation to carry out, how can it be possible to transform again in just a few days."
Jiang Nu'er, who realized that something was wrong, took a closer look at the blood stains on the ground, and then said in a serious voice: "But I have heard that the nine-tailed scorpion is usually accompanied by a male and a female, and the last time the beast tide broke out, there was only one nine-tailed scorpion... Could it be that there is actually another nine-tailed scorpion in the depths of the cave now? And it's also at the level of the demon king? ”
"Not good! It's a dangerous place! We need to get out of here quickly. ”
Suddenly, Jiang Nu'er, who had already guessed in her heart, felt very bad, and deduced that the movement made by Su You when he hunted the demon beast just now and the bloody smell emitted by the corpse of the demon beast must have attracted the attention of the nine-tailed scorpion in the depths of the cave, so he hurriedly beckoned Su You to leave here with him.
But at this moment.
"Shhh
There was a hissing sound from the deep and dark cavern that was very familiar to both of them, and it was not the sound of the nine-tailed scorpion.
Now realizing that Jiang Nu'er's previous speculation was correct, the two of them didn't care that the corpse of the demon beast was still in the cave, and directly gathered their breath and ran towards the cave as fast as possible.
Just as they ran out of the cave, the two of them felt a chill behind them.
Hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that the cave was scattered and collapsed by a huge figure, and a nine-tailed scorpion with nine broken tail thorns slowly crawled out of the sand and stones all over the ground, and at this moment, the nine broken tail thorns were still dripping golden blood.
Isn't this the nine-tailed scorpion demon king who appeared in the border city when the beast tide occurred before.
Although he was seriously injured by the old man in the border city who did his best to cut off the nine tail thorns, the demon king is a demon king after all, even if he is seriously injured and has not yet healed, he still maintains the strong strength of the Nirvana realm, and it is not an existence that Su You and Jiang Nu'er can compete with.
So the two began to flee without saying a word, not wanting to be targeted by the nine-tailed poisonous scorpion.
However, the speed of the nine-tailed scorpion in the seriously injured state was still faster than the two of them, and when they flicked their tail thorns, they directly used the blood in their tail stinger wounds to draw a trace of corrosion and depression on the ground, and a fishy mist drifted out from it.
At the same time, the nine-tailed scorpion rushed forward with its strong six legs, and it was about to catch up with the two.
"I'm here to stall for time, you hurry up and run out first!" Releasing the cold poisonous aura in the dantian, Jiang Nu'er, who was shaken by the extremely cold spiritual power, stopped in front of Su You with a spirit sword in his hand, and headed towards the nine-tailed poisonous scorpion.
"Terran cultivator... Look for death! ”
Seeing that only Jiang Nu'er in the Sevenfold Perfection Realm of the Unsullied Realm dared to fight him head-on, the Nine-Tailed Scorpion, as the Demon King, only felt as if he had been insulted, and immediately shook his tail thorn and smashed straight towards Jiang Nu'er.
The tail spines are not sharp, but they carry poison, and if they are accidentally contaminated with poisonous blood, they will inevitably have no bones.
But Jiang Nu'er was not afraid, and the cold air around her body was pervasive, and even the only remaining water vapor in the air was frozen.
She crossed her sword across her chest, and only when the tail thorn was at her could she open her eyes that were as white as frost and swung a sword.
The cold poisonous aura mixed with the spiritual power exploded in an instant, condensing the land and even the space within a radius of several miles into ice crystals, and constantly compressing the space for the tail thorns to rush forward, trying to block the attack of the nine-tailed poisonous scorpion.
However, the nine-tailed poisonous scorpion is the demon king after all, and it is a powerhouse in the Nirvana realm.
When he realized that Jiang Nu'er wanted to use the method of freezing the space to block the attack of his tail thorns, he had no intention of retreating, but instead threw up nine tail thorns at the same time and stabbed forward.
This time, the nine tail spikes that were fused together again broke through the constraints of the space and turned into a golden flash of light.
"Bang!"
"Ahh
A violent crash was accompanied by a terrible scream.
Losing the blessing of spiritual power, unable to continue to freeze the space and constantly dissipating the cold poisonous aura, Jiang Nu'er's spirit sword in his hand broke, and his face instantly turned pale after opening his mouth and spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
Although she gritted her teeth and blocked the attack of the nine-tailed poisonous scorpion with the broken spirit sword, at this moment, the spiritual power in her body was disordered because she couldn't even stand steadily, and the cold poisonous aura in the dantian was scurrying around the meridians everywhere, eroding her body again.
"Hmm... Wow! ”
Under the erosion of the cold and poisonous breath, Jiang Nu'er, who could not bear the severe pain in her body, spit out another mouthful of blood.
It's just that this time the blood spit out was actually exuding bursts of cold aura, and it turned out that the cold poisonous breath began to spread to all parts of her body through the meridian blood, and it was more violent than every cold poison outbreak before.
"Boom..."
The nine-tailed poisonous scorpion looked at Jiang Nu'er, who was struggling to support, and Su You, who was being protected behind him, and sneered: "This king is worried that he can't find that old guy to take revenge, but I didn't expect that there will be a guy who can't help himself, so this king will not be polite to swallow you two guys first!" ”
The voice fell.
The nine tail thorns rolled up the strong wind venom and stabbed straight at Jiang Nu'er, who was about to fall directly because of the cold poisonous aura that broke out at this time, let alone standing, and even kneeling.
The killing machine suddenly appeared, and Jiang Nu'er was about to die under the tail thorn of the nine-tailed poisonous scorpion.
