Chapter 131 How to Rescue Team Members Who Had Been Caught in a Swarm of Scorpions

Su Yu and the other two quietly lay prone on a small sand dune, where the giant crater below was teeming with venomous shadow scorpions.

Perhaps we should be thankful that these highly skilled Shadow Scorpions knew about the private scorpion space and didn't crowd together like they were playing a game of stacking, leaving those two unlucky guys a little space to shrink away from the Shadow Scorpions.

Asa whispered, "I sent a message to their communication stones, and they will cooperate with our operation later."

"..." Su Yu fell silent, then asked the crucial question, "Do we have an action plan?"

Asa: "..."

Bu chuckled softly twice: "No."

The three of them peeked out and looked down at the two people in the scorpion swarm who were anxiously waiting for rescue, then silently looked away.

Su Yu paused for a moment and then said, "I'll go straight in. While I'm luring the scorpion swarm away, you two quickly bring the person out."

Asa and Buwei exchanged a glance and agreed: "Okay, then be careful."

This new member has the cultivation of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. I heard from Amon that this Feng Jiu is quite powerful. He should be able to lure away the scorpion swarm without any problem.

Su Yu also considered that Asa and Buwei were both injured, so she decided to take action herself and let them play a supporting role.

Although his true cultivation level was enough to wipe out this group of Poison Shadow Scorpions, he was still wearing the false identity of Feng Jiu. Su Yu was very self-aware of adhering to his disguise and only intended to use his peak Nascent Soul cultivation level.

After a brief discussion, Su Yu made a special detour to the other side of the pit so that when the scorpion swarm chased him, they wouldn't run to Asa and Buwei, making it easier for them to enter the pit and rescue him.

Right across from the crater, Su Yu stepped onto a small hill and summoned the crimson longbow with lightning and fire attributes once again, named Crimson Cloud.

Su Yu drew her bow, and three arrows flashing with lightning appeared, aiming at the scorpion queen, the leader of the scorpion swarm that occupied the most space...

With a soft "whoosh," the wind remained undisturbed, but the arrow had already shot towards its target, heading straight for the leader scorpion's two large pincers and its tail with the poisonous stinger.

The arrow pierced through flesh, and the Shadow Scorpion leader was unable to dodge in time. All of his most powerful weapons were destroyed by the lightning that followed the arrow.

Asa and Buwei, who were lying on the other end, clicked their tongues in admiration: "The newcomer is so strong, do you think he really came from headquarters?"

Bu Wei rolled her eyes at him: "Didn't you get it from Amon?"

"I've been trying to persuade him for days, but he still won't tell me..."

The leader of the Shadow Scorpions let out a terrified hiss.

Because the loyal underlings did not immediately search for the enemy, but instead turned their attention to devour its flesh.

The task of pursuing the enemy can be done by the weaker underlings first. They should strengthen themselves first, then go after they have finished eating, and return to fight the enemy before deciding on the next leader through internal strife.

We can't leave now; what if they steal even more food?

Su Yu clicked his tongue, not expecting that these scorpions were also quite venomous towards his own scorpions. So he simply shot a few more arrows, forcing back the few venomous shadow scorpions that were surrounding the former leader's corpse, and also damaging a corner of their nest.

Poison Shadow Scorpion Swarm: ...

The swarm of venomous scorpions paused for a moment, then the dense army raised their eyes and stared at Su Yu, their red eyes fixed on the destroyer with venom. Then they instantly rioted, rushing towards the enemy with a whooshing sound as their dense, thin legs moved.

Su Yu: ...It's a bit disgusting.

He turned and ran.

He didn't even dare to fly on his sword, afraid that he might lose control and fly too fast, leaving the swarm of scorpions behind.

Once they lose their target, the scorpion swarm will quickly retreat, so Su Yu led the scorpion swarm in circles.

On the other side, only two or three kittens remained in the sand pit where the scorpion swarm had just gathered, wandering around as nest guardians.

Asa and Buwei stopped rambling and quickly flew on their swords to the two unlucky guys at the bottom of the pit, one for each of them.

Asa was also on the same team and was quite familiar with these two unlucky teammates. After pulling them onto the sword, he asked, "Where are you injured? You can't even fly away on your own."

The teammate, named Li Tian, ​​was extremely pale. He whispered, "We were stung by the stingers of those scorpions when we fell, and we got poisoned."

The venom on the stinger of the scorpion generally has a paralyzing effect; once the toxin reaches the heart, there is no cure.

Li Tian and his companion had taken antidote pills immediately after discovering the poisoning to slow its spread, but their bodies were still gradually stiffening, so they had no choice but to wait for rescue in place.

Although the scorpion tail grass that grows in the scorpion colony is the antidote to this poison, and the scorpion tail grass usually grows in the shady places in the pit, the area where the scorpion tail grass grows is also the hatching ground for the scorpion eggs. It is guarded by the scorpions, so the two of them dared not make any rash moves.

"Okay, I'll go pick them for you." Asa frowned and glanced around the pit. There weren't too many Poison Shadow Scorpions left to guard the patch of Scorpion Tail Grass, so it wouldn't be a problem if he was quick.

He and Buwei first placed the two newly wounded soldiers in a safe spot on the top of the pit. Then, one of them attracted attention while the other swooped down and grabbed two large handfuls of meat when the guard scorpion wasn't looking.

They were unsure how long Feng Jiu could delay, and only planned to act cautiously and finish the battle quickly.

After gathering the scorpion tail grass, he returned to the top of the pit and handed it to the two poisoned individuals. He then used a communication stone to urge Feng Jiu to quickly shake off the scorpion swarm, as they had already retrieved the people and Feng Jiu no longer needed to risk restraining the scorpion swarm.

In a corner unnoticed by them, a young mentor who had just arrived was also unaware of their presence and was lost in thought.

The Nascent Soul stage Poison Shadow Scorpion swarm has already been defeated...

The people who attacked the scorpion swarm should have already left; it would be a waste not to make use of the remaining scorpion swarm.

Although there were a few early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, the disciples could handle them.

The stone is on the side of this large pit, which is not perfectly round. There are many uneven spots along the edge. On the shady ground where the sun is blocked by the protrusions, there are scorpion tail grasses growing, which are chosen by the poisonous shadow scorpions as incubation sites for their eggs.

Both the exploration team and Wushi used concealment talismans to be cautious, so neither side has detected the other's presence yet.

After thinking for a while, Wu Shi made a decision. Taking advantage of the fact that there were few scorpions in the pit and it was quiet, he put a few more concealment talismans on himself and then lightly jumped down.

With a clear objective, they headed straight for the venomous scorpion eggs on the scorpion-tail grass at the bend. It wasn't the same spot where Asa and the others had picked the eggs earlier, but there were still quite a few.

Wu Shi didn't covet too many. He casually scooped up the eggs and put them into his storage ring, then quickly flew on his sword towards the disciples' location.

He sighed inwardly.

During the special training, he even sent food and practice subjects to the students from afar. He is truly a thoughtful and good mentor.

In the distance, Su Yu, who had received the message from Asa and the others, was about to shake off the scorpion swarm, but he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Why does the scorpion swarm seem to have suddenly become more chaotic, even turning around and running away instead of chasing him?

Su Yu: Huh? ? ?
