Chapter 92 Shashi, goodbye!

At 4:30 a.m., before dawn, Lu Nange and her group had already gotten up.

Time was of the essence—they had to leave the city before the temperature rose, otherwise, walking through the city would only cause them to melt away like wax figures under the scorching sun.

She quickly wiped her face, ate something to eat, and went out.

Lu Nange's shoes rolled over the undulating ruins, and pieces of concrete fell under her feet.

In his mind, he complained to 'Youyou': "Why does every road in this world have to pass through city after city? Why can't highways and national roads be built on the outskirts?"

The electronic chime crackled, tinged with mockery: "Because humans love rituals. They euphemistically call it—'Even if you're just passing through, you should appreciate the charm of each city.'"

Lu Nange: [...]

They followed the rickety road signs for four hours.

It wasn't until nearly nine o'clock that the road was finally no longer blocked by the rubble of collapsed buildings.

Lu Nange's spiritual power quietly seeped out, and she found a corner of the ruins and took out the two cars from her spatial storage.

Everyone squeezed into the RV for a short rest.

Only after finishing a bowl of steaming hot wontons did my nerves relax a little.

Two cars, starting anew.

What I never expected was...

When they entered the city, their road was blocked by a python that had escaped from the city.

When they were leaving the city, they were intercepted by a scorpion who had run away from the city!

Chi slammed on the brakes, the tires screeching as they scraped against the gravel.

Ahead, a row of enormous scorpion pincers were opening and closing wildly, like rusty mechanical guillotines, trapping scorching air.

Lu Nange stared at the scorpions, each the size of a tricycle, and suddenly felt absurd: "It's strange, really. Before, when I saw snakes and scorpions, my screams would get stuck in my throat, but now that they've gotten bigger, I'm not afraid anymore."

Everyone quickly got off the bus.

Lu Nange scanned the surroundings with her mental energy—there were no survivors.

With a touch of her palm, both cars were instantly stored in her spatial storage.

The sun had climbed to its zenith, and the heatwave distorted the view.

She licked her chapped lips and whispered, "Let's get this over with quickly, or we'll really be cooked by noon."

The macaw flapped its wings and screeched, "A ripe parrot! A ripe parrot!"

The entire road was completely blocked by the giant scorpion, and even Chi Yanzhou's lightning could not completely cover it.

They could only advance while fighting.

"Brother Yan, Brother Qi, let's start with a bomb!" Lu Nange said.

With a wave of his arms, Chi Yanzhou unleashed a blinding burst of lightning, which danced wildly like silver snakes, followed closely by Gu Qi's water column.

The giant scorpion in the front row suddenly convulsed and collapsed.

The giant scorpions waved their pincers, staggering like drunkards.

The previously tense atmosphere suddenly broke into laughter from He Zhuo: "Honestly, with a song playing, they sound like they're dancing at a disco."

The macaw immediately flapped its wings and joined in, shouting, "The bald man is singing! The bald man is singing!"

Behind the fallen scorpion corpses, three or four rows of giant scorpions surged forward again, stepping on the charred shells of their companions.

As soon as they stepped into the minefield, the remaining electricity immediately exploded into fine blue light on their carapaces, causing the swarm of giant scorpions to convulse and retreat.

"Brother, Wanwan, fireball ready!"

A blazing ball of fire roared out.

In an instant, the acrid smell of burnt protein, accompanied by crackling sounds, filled the air—three rows of giant scorpions instantly transformed into walking torches, their carapaces twisting and bursting in the high temperature.

Lu Nange: "Step back a bit, I'm going to throw in some seasoning."

Everyone started to back away.

The macaw perched on Lu Nange's shoulder, hopping around: "Back off! Back off! It's going to explode!"

Flames leaped, and seeing that the retreat was almost complete, Lu Nange pulled out a bag of flour from her spatial storage and tossed it into the air.

At the same time, a wind blade was thrown out and pushed, tearing the packaging.

The snow-white flour was sprinkled onto the fire like mist, and rolled into swirling clouds by the heat waves.

"Zhuo-ge, Ji Xian, Earth Shield!"

He Zhuo and Ji Xian stomped their feet at the same time, and the earthen wall rose up from the ground.

"Gangzi, flap your wings."

Almost at the same second, the macaw's body suddenly swelled, and its five-meter wingspan flapped violently—

"boom!!!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, a scorching blast of air slammed violently into the earthen shield.

The flying sparks were frozen by the icy wind stirred up by the parrot, turning into countless crystalline ice crystals that fell softly.

Sparks flew and heat rose in the distance.

A chill swept in from behind, and ice crystals flew everywhere.

Where hot and cold meet, white mist rises.

The earth suddenly trembled violently, and cracked clods of earth bounced under everyone's feet.

The long-dormant "hill" at the very back suddenly rose up, and the outline of the Level 3 Scorpion King broke through the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

As its limbs moved, the earth churned and the flames gradually disappeared.

Lu Nange withdrew her psychic powers: "The Level 3 Scorpion King has awakened. Do you want to fight opponents of higher levels? It can quickly improve your strength."

Lu Xici and the others nodded in agreement.

"Withdraw your shields!" Lu Nange spoke rapidly. "Yan-ge and A-Ye, cover for me and hold them off. Thirty seconds, you guys discuss how to fight this!"

She unleashed a wind blade, drawing a semi-circular defensive line in the sand.

The macaw flapped its colorful tail feathers and cried out, "Beauty! And me, the great one!"

Lu Nange tossed out a crystal core to feed it: "Gangzi, you're in charge of aerial interference."

With a flap of its wings, the macaw flew toward the Scorpion King, unleashing a deluge of ice spikes.

Lu Nange, Chi Yanzhou, and Lu Beiye.

Wind blades, lightning, and golden darts simultaneously struck the Scorpion King.

The three controlled their output intensity, but Gangzi went all out.

The scorpion king's exoskeleton cracked, oozing out eerie orange-purple blood.

"Nan Nan, we're all better!"

Lu Nange, the other two, and the bird retreated instantly.

Lu Xici and a few others joined the battle.

The macaw circled and swooped down, its tail feathers bristling, and stomped on He Zhuo's head: "Baldy, beat him to a pulp!"

Lu Xici and Gu Wan's fireballs and curtains of fire cleared away the ordinary giant scorpions that were trying to reinforce them.

Chi Yi's thorns entangled the Scorpion King, but the Scorpion King suddenly stomped the ground, and dozens of earth spikes broke through the soil!

"Divide!" He Zhuo and Ji Xian shouted at the same time.

He Zhuo and Ji Xian each took charge of a portion, using earth shields to block all the earth spikes.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Xingyou threw out several golden darts, forcing the Scorpion King to withdraw its attack and hastily condense an earth shield to protect itself.

Gu Qi's high-pressure water jet washed over the earthen shield.

The viscous mud from the earthen shield continued to peel away along with Gu Qi's water flow.

The thorns in the pond took the opportunity to sneak into the gaps in the shell.

Luo Xingyou suddenly wiped away the beads of sweat rolling down her brow, a ruthless glint flashing in her eyes.

She pushed off the ground with a sudden burst, and her whole body shot towards the Scorpion King like an arrow released from a bow.

The girl used the momentum to leap up, her five fingers forming claws as she gripped the gaps in the scorpion's carapace.

Upon seeing Luo Xingyou's actions, Chi Yi's thorny vines instantly grew rapidly, tightly binding the Scorpion King's pincers.

The thorny vines, pulled with tremendous force, spurted out green sap, buying time for the Luoxing pomelo.

He Zhuo and Ji Xian also simultaneously used earth spikes to stab the Scorpion King.

Gu Qi's water column suddenly compressed to its limit, and the high-pressure water flow cut open the Scorpion King's brow.

Luo Xingyou seized the opportunity, and the golden darts, accompanied by a whooshing sound, pierced through the air and struck the Scorpion King's joints.

The scorpion king's body struggled wildly.

Luo Xingyou's arms bulged with veins, forming a golden dagger.

With a loud shout, the dagger slashed down fiercely from between the Scorpion King's eyebrows.

With a cracking sound as the carapace tore, the ferocious head was cleaved in two, and purplish-black fluid gushed out like a fountain.

Exhausted, Luo Xingyou knelt on the Scorpion Queen's back, panting heavily.

Lu Nange used her wind blades to peel away the wriggling nerve fibers surrounding the crystal nucleus.

With a clang, the orange-glowing crystal core rolled onto the scorched earth.

The Scorpion King's massive body crashed to the ground.

The macaw flapped its wings, circling and frolicking, even letting out a whistling sound at the end: "Little beauty!"

Gu Wan burned the last few giant scorpions that were stubbornly resisting around her.

Then he leaped onto the scorpion king's corpse and hoisted the weakened Luo Xingyou onto his shoulder.

Just as she was about to jump, Lu Nange and Wen Qing arrived.

"Sister Wanwan, let me do it!"

Knowing that Lu Nange was strong, Gu Wan let go, and Lu Nange easily lifted her down in a princess carry.

We reached the shady spot where the macaws were flapping their wings.

Wen Qing's healing, pale white light flowed through his palm, gently enveloping Luo Xingyou's body.
