Chapter 130 The Unlucky Guy Targeted by a Swarm of Scorpions

Su Yu was even somewhat pleased that A Yao suspected him so quickly, but he didn't intend to reveal his identity on the second meeting. So he said a bunch of nonsense that was actually not wrong, but sounded like he, Feng Jiu, was an orphan.

"I see..." Su Yao temporarily backed down, but she wasn't entirely convinced.

After that, I didn't have a chance to ask again along the way.

Because her younger siblings were determined to protect their boss's perfect image, they strongly opposed her being greedy and trying to prevent her from discussing dangerous topics with Feng Jiu, all for the sake of her and Sister You's happiness.

Yu Fujun: Although she felt a little sorry for her colleagues, she thought these friends were really great.

This shows that they are truly serious when something happens.

After arriving in Pingsha Town, Su Yu parted ways with Nandu Academy.

He really has to go deliver supplies to the exploration team now.

Feng Jiu and they seem to have a real connection.

On the third day after entering the Stormy Sand Sea, Su Yao and her small team were thinking this, except for You Fujun, since she was the one who sent the location.

The special training stipulated that the core disciples would enter the Stormy Sand Sea in groups of six, plus one mentor. The goal was not to find anything, but simply to provoke various spirit beasts and find a way to survive. The mentor would follow at a distance, rescuing the disciples when their lives were in danger, and luring some spirit beasts over when the team wanted to slack off. If any disciple could not survive, the mentor in charge would take them back to Pingsha Town.

Although the rules seem arbitrary and carry a certain risk of death, the practical improvement effect is very good. Nandu Academy has continued this special training. As long as the disciples don't do anything reckless and run deep into the desert, there shouldn't be any problems.

At this very moment, their small team is being hunted down by a swarm of Shadow Scorpions.

They were originally very lucky, having only encountered two or three lone Nascent Soul stage spirit beasts, which they easily dealt with.

However, the team leader following behind them couldn't bear to see them so relaxed. He went somewhere and retrieved eight Poison Shadow Scorpion eggs. He even cast an illusion spell to disguise them as the spirit bird eggs he had brought with him. After roasting them, he seemingly selflessly shared them with them, but he himself didn't touch any of them.

"Wow, you're so kind, mentor," Tong Yunqi said while eating, "Mentor, what kind of spirit bird egg is this? I don't think I've ever eaten one before."

Wu Shi smiled kindly: "Is it delicious? Then eat more. These are Poison Shadow Scorpion eggs that your mentor specially picked out."

Tong Yunqi dropped the egg from his hand, breaking the shell and revealing the cooked egg white inside.

Wu Shi slowly stood up, smiling and waving to the young people: "The scorpion swarm will probably be here soon, so I'll be heading out now. Good luck to you all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mentor, who was quite tall, ran far away.

All that remains is a desolate landscape.

The situation was beyond repair; everyone had swallowed some of the bait under the mentor's coaxing and coercion.

The Shadow Scorpion swarm is incredibly united and protective of its offspring. They usually appear in large groups. Once they eat an egg, they acquire a scent mark, and the scorpion swarm will definitely come after them in retaliation.

After pausing for two seconds, Su Yao decisively chose to continue eating.

Since we're going to be hunted down anyway, we might as well eat more.

Although I don't know why scorpions, which are normally ovoviviparous, are oviparous in this world, the eggs taste pretty good.

Although the mentor is a bit of a swindler, he certainly wouldn't attract a Void Refinement stage spirit beast that a Nascent Soul disciple could never defeat.

Then she wouldn't die, so she ate it without worry.

Tong Yunqi looked at her, then at his companions who were also eating, and finally picked up the egg that had fallen to the ground, used a cleaning spell to remove the dust, and then, with the tragic and heroic spirit of a warrior going to his death, took a big bite.

Eat more so you'll have the strength to run away and fight later.

A moment later, Su Yao stood up, looked into the distance, and withdrew her previously spread-out divine sense.

"It's coming, let's fight and run."

The group stood up one after another. Lanmo kicked up some dust and extinguished the small fire. Then, like everyone else, he took out his magical artifacts and prepared for battle.

In the distance, dust swirls.

The scorpions, their venomous stingers raised high, were the first to emerge from the swirling dust and mist.

Then, there's the hideous and terrifying main body under the scorpion's tail, and the people on the backs of those few venomous shadow scorpions in front.

I roughly counted, and there were about four or five people.

Could it be that these scorpion swarms are being controlled by someone?

Everyone was on high alert, except for You Fujun, whose pupils trembled slightly.

Yes, it was she who sent the message calling Su Yu, so even though she couldn't see the person's face clearly from this distance, she was certain that Su Yu was one of those people.

She did have a bit of a lazy idea in mind, thinking that Su Yu's arrival would definitely make dealing with the scorpion swarm much easier for their small team, and would also create an opportunity for the brother and sister to meet, which was simply killing two birds with one stone.

But this way of making an entrance...

This guy wouldn't be chasing after them with the scorpion swarm, would he? There's no reason for that; his own sister is right here!

What about the other figures? What plot points did her colleague add herself?

In fact, Su Yu was also helpless, unable to bear the fact that everything that happened was such a coincidence.

It just so happens that the eggs the instructor retrieved belonged to this scorpion swarm.

When You Fujun sent him the message, he was in the midst of a swarm of poisonous scorpions, trying to save the lives of two members of their Ghost Market exploration team.

Both of them were members of the same team. The team had already completed their collection mission and was on their way back when they were unlucky and encountered a sandstorm, a unique natural disaster in the Stormy Sand Sea.

The team's equipment had been damaged in the previous sandstorms. Although it was still usable, it completely collapsed when the sandstorm was about to end, and the team was swept into the sky.

Fortunately, the team members entering the Stormy Sands will carry magical artifacts with location tracking capabilities.

So even though they were swept up into the sky and didn't know where the sandstorm would take them, at least they were able to find them based on their location.

However, all that remained at the base were wounded. The three teams of the exploration group entered different areas of the Stormy Sand Sea in order to be efficient. The second and third teams were not close to the exploration area of ​​the first team. I'm afraid that before they could find it, the first team would be gone.

So Su Yu was drafted by the desperate Meng An and led two of the less seriously injured team members into the first exploration area to rescue people. One was Rosa, who was the same Asa from before, and the other was Buwei.

Their main objective was not to search for materials but to rescue people, so they naturally headed straight for the two nearest team members based on the location.

Once they arrived, they realized why the two team members had been moving in the same spot the whole time.

These two unlucky fellows fell into the lair of the Poison Shadow Scorpion swarm and were surrounded by a group of Nascent Soul stage scorpions. The leader of the Poison Shadow Scorpions was also at the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation realm, while the cultivation levels of the underlings surrounding the leader ranged from the peak of the Nascent Soul realm to the early stage of the Divine Transformation realm.

The two unlucky fellows dared not move, for fear of waking the resting scorpion swarm.

Although both of them had the cultivation level of the early stage of Nascent Soul, they couldn't withstand the Poison Shadow Scorpion's battle strategy of ganging up on each other and not engaging in one-on-one combat!
