Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Jasper Scorpion
The smell of blood soon attracted some demon beasts, but it was just some first- and second-order demon beasts, which were easily killed by Zhang Zhiping's condensed golden sword, seeing that the smell of blood was getting heavier and heavier, he immediately used quicksand to bury the surrounding blood corpses, but he couldn't stay here. Casting a levitation technique on himself, Zhang Zhiping slowly flew up, about the same height as the grass. Not daring to run far, he found a towering ancient tree, controlled it with wood mana to form a tree hole, and then he flew in and lay down.
"Huh, is this a jasper scorpion?" Zhang Zhiping lay motionless in the tree hole, and could only wait for the mana to reconnect the meridians before carefully treating his body, so he looked at the surrounding environment a little bored, and suddenly saw a delicate and clear scorpion with a jade body, and the probe probed his brain to observe the tree hole. He looked around, and then he realized that the scorpion's cave was under the tree, and he had gone up and down the stairs with it.
The jasper scorpion is just a first-order demon beast, but it has a very unnatural natal spell, that is, breaking the law, if it is combined with a kind of giant pain toxin, it is among the many demon beasts, although it is not very powerful, but there are no demon beasts willing to provoke it. When Zhang Zhiping first saw this, he was very curious about the attribute of breaking the law, so he investigated the information of the jasper scorpion in detail.
The size of an adult jasper scorpion is only the size of a palm, and what has the ability to break the law is its tail, which also contains a toxin, which makes people feel extremely severe pain. So any demon beast that wants to hurt it will be stung by it before dying, and that kind of severe pain will never make people want to bear it a second time, and after a long lesson, most demon beasts will take a detour after seeing it, so that it can live quite nourishing in nature.
It's just that when its law-breaking attribute is discovered, its tail immediately becomes a magic weapon called Jasper Needle, which is a one-time magic weapon with law-breaking and highly poisonous attributes. As soon as the jasper needle was launched, I didn't know how many Qi cultivation period monks had been killed, and even the foundation building period monks were quite fearful. In this way, the jasper scorpion attracted everyone's peeping, and a large number of jasper scorpions were killed, and that period was also the most aggrieved period for the monks in the late stage of qi refining, because no one knew if a low-level monk had a jasper needle in his hand, and if he didn't pay attention, that low-level monk could use the jasper needle to sneak attack and kill the late-stage monk, and for a while, the atmosphere in the entire immortal cultivation world was much better.
It's just that the jasper scorpion is almost extinct because of this, for nearly a thousand years, it has rarely heard of the news of the jasper scorpion, and the jasper needle has become a swan song for a while, but I didn't expect to find one here.
The jasper scorpion was probably curious about the sudden addition of a tree hole on its head, so it ran out to check, but Zhang Zhiping used the breath technique to completely cover up the breath, so that it didn't notice it for a long time. After wandering around the hole of the tree for a long time, it seemed to have made a decision, and then I saw it tiptoe into the hole of the tree, cautiously, and looked very cute.
Zhang Zhiping watched the movements of the jasper scorpion with interest, even if he was seriously injured, it would not interrupt his interest in life. And being seriously injured is also a novel experience for him, recalling the moment when he was seriously injured just now, it was a little embarrassing, his first feeling was that he wanted to cry, it was so painful!!
The jasper scorpion explored it for a long time and didn't find Zhang Zhiping, and it seemed that it was a good place, so he decided to stay, looked around, and found a place where the aura was a little richer, and then went there to rest.
Zhang Zhiping looked at the jasper scorpion that ran to his chest with a smile, and fell asleep comfortably. Don't ask him how he could see that a scorpion was asleep, motionless, with its belly on the ground, the two pincers in front of it flat, and the tail in the back drooping, what was it that wasn't asleep?
The whole body of the jasper scorpion is like jasper, so it is not as hideous as an ordinary scorpion, but very beautiful and cute. This is obviously a newborn jasper scorpion, because its size is only the size of a baby's palm, and its breath is less than a first order, so Zhang Zhiping only ignored it when he opened up the tree hole. Maybe it's because it ran to himself ignorant and fearless, Zhang Zhiping always felt that this jasper scorpion was a little cute, and when he fell asleep, he touched his head with the big pliers from time to time, as if tickling.
The jasper scorpion is symmetrical left and right, and an extremely thin gold line can be seen on the symmetrical line in the middle, thinner than spider silk, running from the head to the tail of the poisonous needle, which is also why the jasper scorpion has the anti-heaven attribute of breaking the law. The jasper scorpion is a gold and wood dual-attribute demon beast, and the golden thread in the middle is a golden spiritual power condensed to the extreme, so it will repel other spiritual powers, and it can easily pierce the monk's protective shield and the flesh of the rest of the demon beasts, and inject venom into the opponent's body. It's just that its body is too fragile, even if it is an ordinary first-order demon beast, it can directly trample on it, so its counterattack is more of a dying counterattack. The refining of jasper needles is mainly to extract this gold thread.
Soon it was evening, and the jasper scorpion came to its senses, stretching its pincers, as if stretching its waist. Shaking off his spirits, the Jasper Scorpion began to go out hunting. Using the observation of heaven and earth hearing, the jasper scorpion easily caught enough food, after all, it was a demon beast, and it was still very strong compared to ordinary creatures, and those demon beasts that were stronger than it would not come to provoke it. So it can be seen that this jasper scorpion lives very moist.
After the hunt, he didn't come back, but found a puddle and began to clean his body, but he didn't expect it to be a scorpion that loves to be clean! After cleaning, the jasper scorpion began to return to the tree hole, but the pincers were sandwiched with some trivial trinkets, and after returning to Zhang Zhiping, he began to dress up his cabin.
Well, it seems that this jasper scorpion intends to settle on him. Zhang Zhiping didn't stop it, but slightly released a trace of golden wood attribute mana, and the jasper scorpion that was cleaning up the hut suddenly froze, originally he thought that this jasper scorpion would be ready to attack, or simply run away, but he didn't expect this jasper scorpion to jump slightly, very happy. Sure enough, it was a cute jasper scorpion, and its smooth life since birth made it much less vigilant than the rest of the demon beasts.
The more Zhang Zhiping looked at this jasper scorpion, the more he liked it, he had learned the beast control technique, of course, this is only the basic beast control technique, and he can only use mana to subdue the demon beast, and those first- and second-order mounts in each sect are subdued with this beast control technique. If you are a high-level demon beast, you can't do it, you need to use the top-level beast control technique that the Jin Kingdom Imperial Beast Sect can brand with divine sense.
However, the jasper scorpion is just right, Zhang Zhiping did not immediately use the beast control technique, but constantly released the golden wood attribute mana for the jasper scorpion to absorb, and when it is familiar with his mana, it is very simple to use the beast control technique to subdue.
Ten days have passed in a flash, and the jasper scorpion goes out hunting every night, and lies on Zhang Zhiping's body to absorb mana during the day, and gradually becomes familiar with this kind of life. It's just that it can't be allowed to continue to be leisurely now, because Zhang Zhiping has already penetrated the meridians of his whole body and needs to recuperate, so his small home naturally doesn't exist.
