Chapter 242: Earth Escape Twin Scorpions
After a stick of incense, a large corner appeared in front of it, and a faint green light could be seen from the corner. Lin Quan was overjoyed, it seemed that it was finally coming to an end. He didn't dare to slack off and stepped forward to put away the Night Pearl, and casually took out the Ink Fall Shield and the Black Ring Knife, and then manipulated the puppet leopard to stick its head out against the stone wall.
This is an underground cave about 3 or 4 zhang high and 20 zhang in size.
The floor of the cave and the surrounding stone walls are inlaid with a large number of jade stones, and the faint green light that fills the entire cavern is emitted by them. Lin Quan took a closer look and found that these unknown green jade stones were of different sizes and shapes, and he felt that it was a precious ore that was born with this gray-black stone, just like the golden dolomite.
In the deepest part of the cavern is a large chunk of greenstone that is completely exposed. Not only is this greenstone darker and greener than the smaller pieces, but it is larger than two or three beds. Around this boulder grew twenty or thirty pale green grasses ranging from two or three inches to seven or eight inches, and their whole body exuded a ghostly green spiritual light. Three of the tallest grasses were no different in color from the boulder, and they were obviously the best ones that had matured for an unknown amount of time.
"There are so many rare poisonous weeds cultivated here! No wonder the entire crypt is made of such cold rocks. Well...... In this way, these green ores should be the jade stones that can refine poison attribute magic weapons. In addition, the demon beasts that can stay next to these poisonous weeds and poisonous ores for years and cultivate know that they are five poisons and the like, either spiders or centipedes, right!?" When Lin Quan saw the appearance of these spirit grasses with his own eyes, he immediately thought of the names of these ores and the types of guardian demon beasts, and a look of chagrin appeared on his face.
"Well, it's been a trip for nothing. Lin Quan retracted his head without hesitation, ready to turn around and retreat.
Although he only glanced at it, he could clearly see that on the left side of the giant "Blue Stone" were two thick claws covered with barbs, and these two claws that looked like giant scorpions were holding the corpse of a half-bloody Terran monk.
Needless to say, this unlucky ghost who became the ration of the poisonous scorpion must be the trial disciple who entered the crypt before him. I don't know who his surname is, Lin Quan can only judge from the "Seven-Story Futu Tower" embroidered on his clothes that he is a disciple of Da Zheng Guo's "Demon Domain Futu", but he didn't expect that this top master who was proficient in the two alchemy techniques of Buddhism and Demon would actually die without even leaving the slightest trace of struggle and resistance.
From this point, it is not difficult to see that this poisonous scorpion inside is not only powerful, but also may have some kind of strange secret technique that is difficult to guard against, otherwise it is impossible for an elite disciple who comes prepared to die so easily with poison alone. You must know that those who are qualified to enter the Golden City are at least the cultivation of the twelfth layer of Qi Condensation, and the secret arts and magic weapons of the body are the best choice. Lin Quan didn't believe that this unlucky ghost was a fool who had just come here by luck.
In view of this, he decisively chose to retreat.
Anyway, his purpose was only for the golden vine, and since there was nothing he wanted here, of course he was not interested in fighting a poisonous scorpion that was obviously extremely difficult to mess with in such an extremely unfavorable environment. This kind of thing is covered with hard carapaces all over its body, and its defense power far exceeds that of demon beasts of the same level, and it is even more poisonous to guard against.
It's a pity that people don't hurt the 'scorpion', and the 'scorpion' is harmful to people's hearts!
Just as he was about to lift his feet and leave, the miserable chewing sound behind the giant blue stone suddenly stopped, and then a dense rustle was heard. In the blink of an eye, a jet-black tail hook thicker than an adult's arm first poked out from above the boulder, and then a scorpion holding two claws the size of half a door panel crawled out in such a big way. It seemed to be very unhappy that it was disturbed while eating, so it hissed angrily as soon as it appeared, and a pair of small turquoise eyes that emitted a fierce light stared viciously at the puppet leopard that had been cut off by its master.
"Sure enough, it's a top-level poisonous scorpion!" Lin Quan dropped the puppet leopard without grace and threw off his arms to flee with all his might, and at the same time did not forget to bless himself with the two auxiliary spells of "Light Body Technique" and "Wind Walking Technique". Anyway, the traces have been exposed, and it doesn't matter if you use spells or not, and now only a quick escape is the right thing.
At this moment, the smart and cautious man didn't seem to think at all that he would never be able to outrun the big poisonous insect with home field advantage with only his two legs in this kind of underground passage. The best option to survive is to immediately enter the rather open underground cavern, and then use all means to fight it to the end.
After Lin Quan left first, the loyal puppet leopard did not retreat, but advanced, using his long body to jam the corner between the passage and the scorpion's nest as much as possible. Then, without fear, it opened its teeth and claws at the huge scorpion in front of it, and it wanted to use itself as a bait to attract the attention of the scorpion, trying to buy time for the evacuation of its master.
The giant scorpion's four pairs of powerful feet came to the puppet leopard in a row, and the two pairs of blood-stained claws kept opening and closing, making a crisp "click" sound. The long tail behind it bent out in a slightly exaggerated arc and was held high above the top, and the jet-black and sharp tail hook at the top pointed at the head of the puppet leopard, glowing a miserable green light under the reflection of the blue stone. It didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill the prey in front of it at all, let alone Lin Quan's escape. If Lin Quan stood in front of this scorpion, he would definitely be able to see a hint of cunning light in its turquoise eyes.
The puppet leopard didn't care about this, and a bowl of spiritual light cannon shot out at the scorpion's head with a large mouth. In the face of this long-standing spiritual light cannon, the poisonous scorpion did not dare to hold it up, it hissed, and a pair of crusts raised high in front of it were crossed.
With a "boom", this kind of spiritual light cannon, which had been specially strengthened by Lin Quan, hit the chela pincer hard, and knocked it back more than a kilometer at once.
It's just that the poisonous scorpion that has suffered this spiritual light cannon that is equivalent to the full force of the Qi Condensing Great Perfection Monk was not injured at all, it gently shook the unscathed claws and rushed up as if nothing happened, and the tail hook behind it swayed slightly, and with a "snort", it turned into three black afterimages and pierced the puppet leopard.
The puppet leopard's limbs exerted force at the same time, and a vertical leap jumped horizontally. It's just that the triple attack of the scorpion tail hook is too fast, and the puppet leopard only flashes through two of the afterimages, and finally is drawn to the left forelimb by the final blow, and it is thrown out like a rag bag.
After landing, the puppet leopard's left front leg had twisted into an irregular shape, hanging weakly on the side of its body, and in addition, its left shoulder and left waist also appeared in multiple obvious cracks, and it could no longer even stand on its feet under the heavy blow.
The scorpion, on the other hand, was quite satisfied with the damage caused by the blow of its tail hook, and it triumphantly opened and closed its crusts vigorously, slowly approaching the puppet leopard with a rhythmic "click......
In the dark passage, a figure in a silver shirt was running wildly, and with the faint light emitted by the 'star stones' scattered on the ground, he had completed most of the distance in a short time. Seeing that there was already a faint light in front of him, the silver-shirted man couldn't help but stop and look back in a good mood.
He didn't notice it at all, and just as he turned around, a jet-black tail about three feet long quietly poked out from the ground not far ahead, and a sharp tail hook at the tip of its tail pointed at the back of the silver-shirted man's head, looking ready to wait.
There was calm behind him, nothing happened. The Silvershirt looked back with satisfaction, and it was a great opportunity to rush out of the crypt in one go. At this moment, the poisonous tail hook, which had been waiting for a long time, attacked from below like a strange python that chose to devour people, and penetrated the throat of the silver-shirted man with a "snort". Immediately afterwards, a pair of claws also poked out from the ground, like two giant scissors, and at once firmly clamped the prey, and lifted it into the air.
The sneak attack was successful, and a layer of gray-black aura suddenly shook up on the ground. Under the action of this layer of gray-black aura, the originally incomparably hard black yin rock automatically lined up on both sides as if it had turned into a soft thin mud, and then a large black scorpion floated up from the ground. Seeing that it is anxious, it seems that it can't wait to enjoy its prey.
"Aha, it turns out that there is indeed more than one poisonous scorpion in this crypt! Well...... It's no wonder that the Daoist friend of the 'Demon Domain Floating Slaughter' just now would be so wronged!"
At this time, a night pearl suddenly appeared two feet behind the "dead" silver-shirted man, and the bright pearl light illuminated the poisonous scorpion and this passage.
"Hiss......?"
Through the light, the insidious sneak attacker finally saw where the pearl was coming from.
It was a silver humanoid puppet dressed in marble armor, and it was staring at itself with a pair of silver glittering eyes, holding a huge night pearl on the puppet's left hand, and a turquoise crossbow in its right hand, and the arrows on the crossbow had already locked on its head.
As for the human who spoke loudly, it was the target it was about to hunt, but for some reason, the man who was supposed to be stabbed to death by the tail hook stood behind the humanoid golem unharmed, and at some point changed into a black suit.
This man in black was none other than Lin Quan, he was holding a stack of thick talismans in each hand, and looked at the poisonous scorpion that was a little confused: "You should have a little bit of wisdom in your appearance, you actually know how to set up an ambush and sneak attack on the way of others in advance in two ways." Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that my 'little kitten' is also proficient in earth escape techniques, he would have informed me in advance, I'm afraid that I would have fallen for your way under my carelessness. ”
