Chapter 41 Fierce Battle Against the Poisonous Scorpion King with Pincers (Part 2)
Chapter 41 Fierce Battle Against the Poisonous Scorpion King with Pincers (Part 2)
"We need to stay calm and not panic." Tang Chen was trying his best to suppress his fear.
The Poisonous Scorpion King with Pincers is an extremely dangerous soul beast with a cultivation of 50,000 years. Even soul beasts with a cultivation of 100,000 years dare not easily enter its territory.
Fang Ya looked around and saw that a greenish-blue poisonous gas was beginning to permeate the surroundings.
"Oh no, it released a poison circle, we're surrounded!!" Fang Ya said, looking at the crowd in front of her with despair.
"What do we do now! That scorpion king is blocking our way, and its cave is just ahead. We definitely can't get in there." Mu Chen looked desperate. He never expected that, led by the school beauty, they would successfully venture deep into the tiger's den!
Hu Lin'er's face was also cold, and she cursed inwardly: "Damn Dai Shengxi, he probably expected this, which is why he agreed to only bring people to the edge of the lair. Bastard!"
Hu Lin'er said apologetically to everyone, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Qian Yuhan, Tang Xuan, Tang Chen, and Mu Chen said almost in unison, "It's okay, we'll face it together!"
Fang Ya also said, "Keep going, we'll definitely be fine."
The King Scorpion, with its pincers, watched its prey chattering away. Having long since gained sentience, it interpreted their words as their final testament. Realizing no one could save them now, it decided to enjoy their emotional drama as a kind of pre-meal auditory entertainment...
On the other side, Dai Shengxi and Vina formed a team.
"I never expected Tang Chen and Tang Xuan to be in a group with that bitch Fang Ya! Ugh, I'm so angry, why does she get to be in a group with Brother Tang Chen?" Vina complained to her followers.
"Heh, they're probably dead by now. Forget about your Tang Chen brother. Who told them to associate with Qian Yuhan? That's going against me, Dai Shengxi! There's only one outcome for them—death!"
Upon hearing Dai Shengxi's chilling words from ahead, Vina immediately abandoned her previous arrogant demeanor, walked to Dai Shengxi's side, grabbed his arm, and said charmingly, "I wasn't thinking about Tang Chen. Everyone who opposes Brother Shengxi is just bored! In my heart, Brother Shengxi is the best. He has both good looks and strength."
Listening to Vina's flattery, Dai Shengxi looked smug and quite pleased. He used his free hand to gently lift Vina's chin, then kissed her, completely ignoring the little followers behind Vina.
The kiss was unusually intense. After they parted, Dai Shengxi asked, "You just mentioned Fang Ya? What happened to Fang Ya?"
Vina, still panting from the passionate kiss, asked, "I heard she teamed up with Qian Yuhan and the others. What happened?"
Dai Shengxi's gaze froze, thinking: Oh no! How did she end up with that bastard Qian Yuhan?! When she came into Sunset Forest earlier, she saw Qian Yuhan protecting a girl who looked like Fang Ya, but she just thought it was because they looked alike and didn't think much of it. But... Oh no, oh no!
"Ahem, I think this is just a warning to them, there's no need to kill them, right? Let's talk to the teacher. If someone really dies, neither our families can protect us!" Dai Shengxi said.
He quickly pulled Vina towards where the teachers were stationed, unaware that Vina's face was terribly gloomy...
Back to Qian Yuhan and the others.
"We have no choice but to take a gamble and wait for the teachers to come and rescue us! Oh, and make a big commotion so that others will find us more easily," Qian Yuhan said to the other five.
Qian Yuhan slashed his right hand across the Cold Heart Dragon God Golden Bracelet on his left wrist, revealing a bottle in his right hand. He handed it to Fang Ya, saying, "Take these pills. My father obtained them by chance from the extraterrestrial battlefield. Taking one will grant you immunity to the poison gas for half an hour..."
He then handed two to each of the other five people.
Fang Ya continued to instruct, "Those little scorpions aren't aggressive, but you still need to be careful not to get stung. Hide to the side."
Fang Ya nodded. She understood that with her current strength, she couldn't help them much. Not becoming a burden was the best help she could give them.
Mu Chen looked at the pills in his hand, then at Qian Yuhan who was explaining something to Fang Ya, and thought to himself: This fourth brother is no ordinary person. He even has so many Heavenly Dragon Detoxification Pills...
After Qian Yuhan finished explaining to Fang Ya, the six of them took the Heavenly Dragon Detoxification Pill together. Except for Fang Ya, the other five released their Martial Souls, ready for battle.
The Poisonous Scorpion King with its pincers looked at everyone with a mocking expression, and a piercing roar resounded through the sky, the resulting shockwave causing everyone to retreat.
"So powerful! This... this might be a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast," Qian Yuhan thought to himself.
Indeed, this venomous scorpion king possessed the cultivation of twenty thousand years. Its abilities far surpassed those of the Thousand-Pound Ants they had encountered before. The scorpion king's thick limbs and menacing scorpion hooks alone revealed its formidable strength.
"Fox Spirit Domain, open!"
"Golden Crocodile Domain, open!"
Hu Lin'er and Mu Chen quickly changed their hand seals, releasing their respective innate domains.
The Demon Fox Domain can confuse oneself, but for a soul beast of the strength of the Tooth-Pinned Poison Scorpion King, the confusion effect is negligible, but it is better than nothing.
The Golden Crocodile Domain enveloped the five members of their group (Fang Ya had already hidden in the bushes to the side). The Golden Crocodile Domain could enhance the power attributes of those within its range. This power boost was particularly significant for Mu Chen, while the boost to the others was far less pronounced. However, as the saying goes, something is better than nothing.
Mu Chen was the first to have his first yellow spirit ring flash beneath his feet.
With the Golden Crocodile Tail Swing activated, Mu Chen's Martial Soul was activated, and the thick crocodile tail behind him lashed out at the Poison Scorpion King, unleashing a golden slash.
"I'll help you, Third Brother!"
Tang Xuan's second spirit ring flashed beneath his feet.
"Lightning strike!"
Tang Xuan raised the Heavenly Thunder Hammer in his hand and strained to lift it towards the sky. In an instant, the once clear sky seemed to be covered by an invisible hand, turning dark, and rolling thunderclouds surged like ink.
Tang Xuan raised the Haotian Hammer, which drew an arc in the air before violently swinging it downwards. Instantly, the thunderclouds seemed to have been triggered, and a thick bolt of lightning roared out from them like a giant dragon, carrying a world-destroying force as it crashed straight down on the head of the Poison Scorpion King.
"Light Slash!"
"Foxtail Needle!"
"Earthshaking!" Tang Chen's second soul skill was also activated immediately.
Qian Yuhan, Hu Lin'er, and Tang Chen's attacks followed closely behind.
Facing attacks coming from three directions—in front, above, and below—the Toothed Scorpion King remained unfazed and motionless.
The five attacks struck the Tooth-Pinned Poison Scorpion King directly.
"Great! Hit!" Mu Chen shouted.
Five attacks struck the Pliers-Piercing Scorpion King almost simultaneously!
"boom--"
With a deafening roar, five different colored soul skill lights exploded simultaneously on the Tooth-Pinned Poison Scorpion King, illuminating the entire battlefield with dazzling light, turning the surroundings as bright as day. The massive energy impact seemed to tear the air apart, emitting a sharp, piercing whistling sound.
Immediately afterward, the powerful shockwave from the soul skill explosion spread outwards, raising thick smoke and forming a massive cloud of dust that blotted out the sun. The ground also began to tremble violently under the powerful impact, as if it would collapse at any moment.
At this moment, everyone on the battlefield focused their attention on the King of Poisonous Scorpions with Pincers. They watched its reaction with tension, their hearts filled with anticipation and trepidation.
The thick smoke dissipated...
The previously unharmed King Scorpion with its pincers still stood there, motionless.
