Chapter Twenty-Three: Fighting the Scorpion King
In the early morning of the next day, in a cave with a lonely peak, Yang Rui exhaled a long breath of turbidity, withdrew from the state of cultivation, and slowly opened his eyes, although he could not see inward, he could feel the regained vitality in his body, and all the fatigue of the night was eliminated.
Under the scorching sun, on the fine sand, a small brown scorpion crawled past, leaving a shallow trace. The air outside the cave was hot and dry, but Yang Rui still decided to hurry during the day. There was still a day to go before he could reach Huangsha Town, and he didn't want anything to go wrong.
I don't know what happened to the little fox last night, Yang Rui thought as he ran, the fire rats in this area have been almost wiped out by the Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion King, and the Scorpion King and the hunchbacked old man should still be looking for him, so the farther away he goes, the safer it will be for the little fox.
After half a day, I finally ran out of this lonely peak, the sun was just over, and there was a golden sea of sand in front of me. Yang Rui stopped, took a breath, and stood on the edge of the sand sea, looking at the horizon with deep and vast eyes, carefully identifying the direction of progress. In this vast desert, sometimes if you deviate from the direction a little, you will never reach your destination.
Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet vibrated violently, the sand dunes bulged, and his body seemed to be lifted off the ground by something. Yang Rui's cold hair stood up, his scalp was numb, and he subconsciously jumped forward, and a big tail with a scarlet poison needle instantly passed by him, rolling to the ground, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
A purple-black giant scorpion brandished a pair of big claws and appeared in front of the black-clothed young man, and it was the Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion King!
"Poof!"
This time, the Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion King didn't give the other party any chance, and as soon as he appeared, he directly released the poisonous gas. I saw that the black-clothed young man was shrouded in poisonous fog all over his body, and his clothes were instantly corroded to tatters, and he tried to break out of the range of the poisonous fog several times, but was forced back by the long scorpion tail.
Seeing this, Yang Rui didn't dare to hold it up, his mind moved, and he hurriedly released the power of the bloodline, and a coercion that did not match his existing strength suddenly expanded to all around. The Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion King was suddenly stunned, and a sense of oppression from the bloodline surged into his heart, staring at the young man in front of him in surprise with a pair of dark beast eyes!
Yang Rui took the opportunity to retreat, retreated ten zhang in one breath, and ran out of the range of the poisonous mist. From the ring, he took out a fluorescent stone engraved with runes, and the handprint changed to urge the thick earth formation. The runes on the thick earth array stone changed, and the light of the fluorescent stone gradually faded, and a layer of earthy yellow halo covered Yang Rui's body, exuding a sense of solidity and heaviness.
The Scorpion King was a little hesitant at this time, this kind of bloodline coercion just now usually only appeared among alien beasts, how could this human being, who obviously only had the strength of the Qi Gathering Realm, suddenly exude this kind of oppression that made it feel dangerous!?
No, the alien beast must cultivate at least to the six realms equivalent to human beings before it can transform into a human form, and even a genius will take a thousand years. An old monster like this will be chased by me all night? It must be that he has a secret treasure hidden on his body, or the spirit crystal of a strange beast above the Divine Gate Realm!
Thinking of this, the Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion King finally came back to his senses, and in the face of this weak human being, he roared angrily, and there was a little more greed in his eyes, and he bumped into it fiercely. It wants to avenge its own children and grandchildren, and it wants to let this self-righteous human dare to challenge its dignity and pay the price of his life! More importantly, if he obtains the high-grade spirit crystal on his body, then his strength will soar again, and he will no longer have to be subject to the old man of the demon scorpion.
Yang Rui looked at this fierce beast calmly, his dark eyes were deep and vast, with his current strength, he did not intend to fight it head-on.
A huge scorpion tail shook over with the sound of the wind, Yang Rui suddenly jumped head-on, crossed his hands, shook hard, shot backwards with the momentum, retreated to the lonely peak area, and disappeared in a few corners.
When the Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion King saw that the young man was about to flee again, he immediately followed in a rage, and a big tail flicked everywhere, causing gravel to fly all over the sky, and a small solitary peak was blown down by it in a few moments. The Scorpion King climbed up the collapsed lone peak and looked around, it had already laid a lot of eyeliner in this area, as long as the human dared to retreat at full speed, the movement would inevitably be discovered!
"Bondage!"
Suddenly, countless finger-sized cyan ropes appeared out of thin air in the air around the Scorpion King, trapping its hands and feet and tail respectively! The Scorpion King was not slow to react, and waved two big claws vigorously, breaking several green ropes, but then more green ropes appeared!
Although the green rope could not trap it, it caused its movement to stall. And in the midst of this stagnation, a raging fire suddenly ignited around it!
The fire approached the 10,000 poisonous scorpion king, and the scorpion king hurriedly spit out the poisonous mist, wanting to corrode the green rope around him, but he was directly burned to ashes by the fire. Between heaven and earth, the flame is naturally the nemesis of poison, and the fire is becoming more and more fierce due to the abundance of fire attribute vitality in the environment here, and the scorpion king's sturdy thick armor has begun to soften and melt under the baking of the white flame!
The Scorpion King finally sensed the danger at this point, and frantically swung his claws and tail vigorously, trying to break free from the entanglement of those green ropes and rush out of the flames. Those green ropes that could only trap the masters of the medicine realm were broken under the struggle of the Scorpion King, and just as it was about to break free, it felt a chill in its abdomen!
"Poof!"
Yang Rui suddenly emerged from the ground, raised his elbow and stabbed it, and a horn slashed through the softened thick armor and plunged into the Scorpion King's chest!
The Scorpion King was in great pain, and he jumped out of the flames, and rolled on the sand in embarrassment, blood constantly pouring out of the wound and splashing everywhere.
Yang Rui came out of the ground, his body was glowing with a faint yellow light, his hands were covered with yellow scales, and his whole body was covered with blood, like a life-seeking Shura, looking coldly at the Ten Thousand Poisonous Scorpion King who was rolling indiscriminately!
The Scorpion King was already terrified at this time, although he received a fatal blow, but his strong physique survived hard, pressed down the severe pain, and wanted to escape after a while.
"Water Gathering Barrier!"
Yang Rui jumped up when he saw the opportunity, and the powerful coercive pressure cover was towards the Scorpion King, looking up to the sky and roaring, and the sound of "Panpan" sounded, only to see that the blood spilled out by the Scorpion King began to gather in the air, and it was continuously drawn out of his injured abdomen!
The Scorpion King's dark eyes looked desperately at the larger and larger blood spheres in the sky, gradually lost his spirit, struggled to crawl forward a few steps, and finally spit out a faint poisonous mist, collapsed to the ground, and completely lost his vitality.
Yang Rui fell, used a delicate container with spatial ability to collect all the essence blood of the Scorpion King in the sky, and put it into the ring along with the body of the Scorpion King. Only then did he rein in his breath and sit down, panting constantly. At this time, there was already a trace of blood cracking on the surface of his skin, his energy was exhausted, and his whole body was weak, so he could only lean on the edge of the gravel and wait for his strength to recover.
At this time, even a little fire rat can kill me, Yang Rui was laughing at himself in his heart, but suddenly heard a gloomy laughter coming from his head.
"Tut-tut, it seems that your kid is quite unlucky, and he was actually bumped into by me in this state!" A hunchbacked bald old man appeared next to Yang Rui, it was the old man of the demon scorpion who attacked the mercenary team last night, Gui Xinhai!
Yang Rui was shocked in his heart, but then calmed down again, thinking that it was okay, he didn't touch this old man of the demon scorpion when he just cleaned up the beast, otherwise he would definitely die with one against two. Leaned weakly against the pile of rubble, looking at Gui Xinhai silently.
Seeing the shattered scene here and the bloodstains on the ground, the old man of the demon scorpion carefully checked around, but found nothing, the ten thousand poisonous scorpion kings rolled indiscriminately, destroying the footprints, scratches, etc.
If Gui Xinhai knew that his pet had just been killed and was lying in Yang Rui's ring, I don't know what kind of expression it would be. It's just that although this old man of the demon scorpion has lived for so long and has heard of the treasure weapon with the power of space, he will never think of it to be in this kid in the Qi Gathering Realm.
"Hmph! I went back to the mercenary's camp just now to check, and found that there was not a single treasure left from them, so you must have turned back and hid it. If you are interested, hurry up and tell me the location of the treasure, I can give you a good time, otherwise you will definitely taste the taste of the ten thousand poisonous hearts!" the old man turned around and returned to Yang Rui and said viciously.
Yang Rui spread his hands, the feeling of weakness in his body made him not even have the strength to speak, thinking that this time it was planted in the hands of this old pervert. However, presumably before I asked where the treasure was, this greedy old ghost wouldn't do anything to me, so I'd better wait until my strength was restored. Thinking of this, he simply closed his eyes.
"Hmph, you are an old man and my three-year-old child, I don't know what you are thinking? If you want to recover your strength, it is not so easy!" This old ghost is also cunning, and he can see through the young man's thoughts at a glance. With a roll of his eyes, he took out a blue-black pill from his waist, opened the young man's mouth and stuffed it in.
"Hehe, if you don't say it, the old man, I will test your medicine every day, take poison for you to eat, and keep it so that you can taste the taste of poison in the world!"
The pill melted in his mouth, and a sour smell slid down his throat into his body, and Yang Rui suddenly felt that the liver on the right side of his body seemed to be crushed, and the pain was incomparable. The body was hot and cold, and the little physical strength that had been accumulated just now was consumed again, and he fainted before he could scream......
The old man smiled and thought to himself, let's see how long you can last. He took out another yellow antidote and stuffed it into Yang Rui's mouth, then carried it on his shoulder and walked towards Huangsha Town.
Along the way, Yang Rui poured no less than ten kinds of poisons every day, each of which either made him extremely painful or made him mentally broken, and every time he was hovering on the edge of death, he was always rescued by the old man of the demon scorpion.
Finally, on the evening of the tenth day, I saw some houses made of mud walls, and on a doorway made of huge logs, a plaque that had begun to weather, was swayed from side to side by the wind.
Take a closer look, the plaque is engraved with a few simple big characters, "Huangsha Town"!
