Chapter 561: Encountering the Phantom Firefly Scorpion Again

Chu Jiuqing's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He protected Chen Qingqing behind him and raised his sword to chop at the giant scorpion's front legs.

The giant poisonous scorpion seemed to feel threatened, raised its front legs high, and then stabbed Chu Jiuqing with the poisonous needle on its tail.

Chu Jiuqing was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and dodged it.

Chen Qingqing was extremely anxious and spoke to Xiaojie through her mind, "Xiaojie, come out and help me find a potion to control the poisonous scorpion. We are in a critical situation now, so please stop pretending to be dead, okay?"

After a while, Xiaojie still didn't move.

Chen Qingqing no longer held out any hope. She took out the insect repellent powder and sprinkled it on the densely packed poisonous scorpions around her.

The poisonous scorpions smelled the scent and fled in all directions, and the giant poisonous scorpion also retreated repeatedly.

Chen Qingqing was happy and said, "Xiaojie, look how powerful I am. I can handle it even without you."

But just as she was happy, the escaped poisonous scorpions came over like a tide.

Chen Qingqing knew that the insect repellent powder was useless, so she quickly dodged it and threw various insect repellents at it.

But the effect is minimal, not as good as that of a torch.

The poisonous scorpions became more and more numerous and denser, surrounding the few people in the middle.

The huge poisonous scorpion stared at the few people with a fierce look, as if looking for the right opportunity to kill them with one blow.

Seeing that everyone was in imminent danger, Xiaojie's voice rang out, "Master, don't worry, Xiaojie is here."

Chen Qingqing gritted her teeth in anger, "I just called you, why didn't you say anything? Did you want to see me make a fool of myself?"

"Master, you're overthinking it. I was just searching for information about this poisonous scorpion. Time was running out, so I didn't dare to take it lightly, so I ignored you."

"Okay, I forgive you. Hurry up and give me some potions that can control these beasts." Chen Qingqing was impatient.

Xiao Jie chuckled, "Master, don't worry. Let me first introduce you to this small poisonous scorpion. It's called the Western Region Phantom Firefly Scorpion. It looks like polished glass, with green luminous spots all over its body. In the dark, it looks like the fluorescence of a ghost, hence the name, the Phantom Firefly Scorpion."

The venom of the Western Region Phantom Firefly Scorpion is truly terrifying. Once stung, your body feels like it's falling into a glacier. Simultaneously, a layer of green light will appear on your skin. As the toxin spreads, it penetrates your nervous system, causing confusion and all sorts of bizarre hallucinations until you're frightened to death."

Seeing Xiaojie babbling endlessly, Chen Qingqing stamped her feet in frustration.

"Alright, Xiaojie, I don't want to know about this. The poisonous scorpion may pounce on us at any time. Just tell me if there is any way to deal with the Phantom Firefly Scorpion."

"Yes, such a small matter wouldn't be difficult for me. Although the Phantom Firefly Scorpion is highly toxic, it is afraid of the Flame Purifying Grass. I have prepared some Flame Purifying Grass powder for you. Please check it."

Chen Qingqing did not dare to delay and quickly scattered the powder around. The powder spread instantly.

When the poisonous scorpions smelled the scent, they panicked and fled in all directions.

But the huge poisonous scorpion remained unmoved.

Chen Qingqing sprinkled the powder in her hand over again, but it still didn't work.

"Xiaojie, why doesn't the Flame Purifying Herb Powder work on this big poisonous scorpion?" Chen Qingqing asked Xiaojie in her mind.

Xiao Jie sighed softly, "I guess this guy is too big, and the medicine is too weak, so it doesn't work on him."

"Then what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help me prepare some more super-strong powder."

"Master, it seems that this cannot be prepared in a short time."

"If you can't make it, I'll give you whatever you need."

"This isn't about money. I was in a hurry to prepare the powder for you, and I used up all the Flame Purifying Grass I had. If you want more Flame Purifying Grass, you'll have to wait a quarter of an hour."

"If we wait any longer, we'll all die here. Hurry up..." Before Chen Qingqing could finish her words, the big poisonous scorpion suddenly moved.

Chu Jiuqing held a long sword in his hand, staring at the poisonous scorpion. Without waiting for it to get close, he rushed out like lightning and chopped straight at the scorpion's head.

Zhuifeng Zhuyue was not to be outdone. He jumped forward on tiptoe and stabbed the scorpion's forelimbs with the sharp blade in his hand.

But the poisonous scorpion reacted quickly and blocked Chu Jiuqing's attack with its large pincers. At the same time, its other pincers quickly rotated to block Zhuifeng Zhuyue's sharp sword.

Then, it raised its tail high, and a stream of green venom with a pungent smell shot out like an arrow towards Chu Jiuqing and the others.

Chu Jiuqing's heart trembled, and he jumped up, twisting his body in the air and narrowly dodged sideways.

The venom splashed onto the ground, making a sizzling sound and corroding small pits.

Zhuifeng Zhuyue reacted a little slower, and the corner of his clothes was splashed by the venom, which instantly corroded a big hole.

Seeing this scene, everyone gasped.

While the others were dodging the poison, the scorpion quickly crawled towards Chen Qingqing.

Chen Qingqing hurriedly raised her crossbow and shot at the poisonous scorpion, but the scorpion's shell was extremely hard and could not be hurt at all.

This time, the poisonous scorpion was completely enraged and rushed towards Chen Qingqing with a roar.

In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Chen Qingqing, with the poisonous needle at the tail raised high and glowing faintly, stabbing towards her like lightning!

Chen Qingqing remained calm in the face of danger. She touched the ground with her toes and floated back like willow catkins, barely avoiding the fatal blow. At the same time, she raised the crossbow in her hand and shot several arrows at the giant scorpion's abdomen.

At this time, Chu Jiuqing also flew forward and stabbed the poisonous scorpion's abdomen with his sword.

The scorpion screamed sharply in pain.

At the moment when Chu Jiuqing's sword pierced the poisonous scorpion's abdomen, the scorpion's abdomen suddenly contracted. In an instant, tens of thousands of small poisonous scorpions gushed out from the sword's mouth like fountains, crawling all over the ground in a black mass.

"Everyone, quickly retreat!" Chen Qingqing shouted while talking to Xiaojie through her mind. "Xiaojie, quickly think of a solution. Countless poisonous scorpions have appeared again."

Xiao Jie sighed, his tone filled with helplessness, "Master, it's not that I don't want to help you. Didn't I just tell you that I don't have the Flame-Cleansing Grass right now? I need to mix it with the Phantom Firefly Scorpion Repellent Powder in a quarter of an hour."

"That's easy for you to say. If we had waited another quarter of an hour, we would have been poisoned to death."

Chen Qingqing no longer paid attention to Xiaojie. She was determined to die with these scorpions. With a thought, she wanted to take out the flamethrower from the space and burn these ghost firefly scorpions to death.

Xiao Jie hurriedly reminded, "Master, don't burn the Phantom Firefly Scorpions with fire. Although the Phantom Firefly Scorpions are afraid of fire, when they are burned to death, the toxins in their bodies will evaporate with the fire. Inhaling the toxic gas will also cause poisoning. Although I have an antidote, I am afraid that you will be roasted into jerky."

"This won't work, that won't work, are we just going to die?"
