Chapter 233 Counter-accusation

According to what Mo Chou said, could this poisonous scorpion have signs of generating life? If it really cultivated life, wouldn't it be a life puppet! Life magic weapons are rare in the world and are priceless. The Tiandi Panlong Stick in Xiaokong's hand is a genuine life magic weapon, but it has not yet cultivated a weapon spirit. If it cultivates a weapon spirit, its power will be several times that of the original Tiandi Panlong Stick.

However, Shi Yan discovered that the poisonous scorpion only had the consciousness to attack after its blood essence was injected into it. "This should not be considered as life." Shi Yan told Mo Chou about his discovery. Mo Chou shook his head and said, "Puppets are different from magic flying swords."

Different? Mo Chou did not continue to talk about what was different. Shi Yan turned his head depressed and continued to watch the battle.

Even though the team had many members, Bei'e's masters were still below, so it was simply a pipe dream for Shi Yan and Mo Chou to pass through the crowd and destroy the poisonous scorpion silently. So the two of them had no choice but to continue climbing to the top of the mountain to observe and look for the opportunity to kill it with one strike.

Being shredded was not a big deal for the dragon worm itself, as the dragon worm could instantly change its body structure, either forming a solid or a body of water. Under the scorpion's feet, the puddle of water trembled slightly, and ripples spread out in circles. Suddenly, a vortex appeared in the center of the ripples, firmly grasping the scorpion's six legs. The scorpion's movements slowed down a lot, and in the end, as the vortex's suction force increased, the scorpion was nailed to the spot as if it had been hit by a spell and could not move.

"Good opportunity!" Shi Yan's eyes lit up. As long as the scorpion was completely trapped in the Jiao insect's [Water Breath Swamp], it would be the best opportunity to take action. Shi Yan suppressed his excitement and waited patiently, waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

But Bai Yucheng also discovered this. "Oh no, the scorpion is nailed to the ground and can't move!" Bai Yucheng thought it was not good and said to Mo Luoning.

"I know." Mo Luoning replied calmly, but did not move. Seeing this, Bai Yucheng became more and more anxious, "Fairy Mo, do you have any solution? If one is nailed to the spot, won't it be used as a living target? It's a waste to spend so much money to make something that is gone before it can really be used?"

Mo Luo Ning didn't bother to pay attention to Bai Yucheng, and focused on watching the battle in front of her. Although she hoped that the poisonous scorpion would fail, it was unusually successful at the moment. Not only could it be driven by the blood essence, but it could also autonomously distinguish some simple attacks and respond. From any angle, this poisonous scorpion puppet was better than a puppet controlled by humans, but the cost of driving it was a bit high. Mo Luo Ning looked at the five bottles of blood essence in her hand. In order to collect these five bottles of blood essence, thousands of monks' lives were sacrificed along the way, just for the sake of experiment! If it really reached the battlefield, wouldn't it take tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of lives to drive it?

The scorpion was in a tough fight because it could not move. Although it was made of high-grade materials, it had many gaps and dents under the sharp teeth of the dragon worm. If you look closely, you can see spider-web-like fine cracks on the surface. The light in the scorpion's six eyes dimmed a lot, not as bright as before. Bai Yucheng looked at the scorpion anxiously. Finally, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the remaining bottles of blood essence, and threw them at the scorpion.

"What are you doing! Do you know what you have done?!"

Bai Yucheng shrugged with an innocent look on his face, "I just gave him some energy." Looking at his expression, it seemed that he had only done something insignificant.

"Add energy? You are looking for death!" Mo Luoning quickly flew up and wanted to grab the bottles of essence and blood, but she was too late to stop it. She watched helplessly as the bottles of essence and blood hit the poisonous scorpion. The bottles instantly broke into pieces. The red blood on her face seeped out and sank into the body of the poisonous scorpion.

Suddenly, the six eyes of the poisonous scorpion were filled with blood, and the entire cave was bloody. The blood reflected on everyone's face, making it all red, as if it was smeared with thick plasma.

At the same time, the poisonous scorpion also underwent a huge change. Starting from the place where the blood essence seeped in, a red line spread from that point to the surroundings. Soon, the whole body of the poisonous scorpion was covered with patterns. A closer look revealed that the patterns were attached to the hard outer armor of the poisonous scorpion like a talisman. The front clamp was attached with crystals. The upper part of the crystal was white, and it gradually turned red. At the bottom, it was already red and black. Because of the crystals, the two large clamps of the scorpion looked a whole circle larger. It was not only its clamps that changed. Its tail, where the barbed stinger should be, turned into a long straight needle cone. The scarlet needle cone exuded a metallic luster. It was obvious that it had a deadly toxin. In addition, above the three pairs of eyes, which should be the forehead of the scorpion, three crystals appeared. The shape was irregular, as if they were squeezed out of the shell by a huge force from the inside. It also looked like blood coagulated there.

Everyone stared at the changes in the scorpion in amazement, and the originally panicked voices gradually subsided and turned into excited breathing sounds.

A puppet scorpion, after Bai Yucheng threw out the last few bottles of blood essence, turned into this appearance, which surprised Shi Yan. I never thought that puppets could evolve? This was the first time Shi Yan heard of this.

"This is the true face of the poisonous scorpion!" Mo Chou suddenly said.

"What?" Shi Yan was surprised. It turned out that it was not evolution, but it had always looked like this.

Mo Chou explained, "They came here to experiment with the puppet scorpion and accumulate experience, so they didn't put too much energy in at once, so it looks the same as before. Who knew that Bai Yucheng was too smart and added too much blood and essence at once, causing the device inside the scorpion to be fully activated, so it has returned to its current appearance." Mo Chou frowned and looked at Mo Luoning with some concern, worried that she would be hurt.

Having eaten too much blood and essence at once, the poisonous scorpion was fully activated. The patterns on its six legs lit up, and the six legs seemed to have exploded with great power. The ground suddenly cracked into huge cracks, and the water flowed along the cracks. Without water, the water-breathing swamp of the dragon worm was naturally broken. The poisonous scorpion spewed out a red mist, twisted its body and pounced on the dragon worm. The pair of large clamps in front of it opened and clamped the dragon worm's body tightly. The dragon worm's slender body kept swinging, trying to escape the pair of large clamps of the poisonous scorpion.

But the poisonous scorpion would not let him succeed. Its front pair of legs were off the air, and it used its back four legs to support itself on the ground. It actually raised its front half of its body, suddenly much higher. Its six eyes stared down at the dragon worm, and its pair of big claws attacked at the same time from above and below, leaving the dragon worm no chance.

The dragon insect thought things were not going well and planned to turn into water to escape, but the poisonous scorpion was faster. "You want to turn into water? I'll help you!"

The two raised legs suddenly struck out, a flash of blood appeared, like a bloody curved blade, which broke the dragon's body into pieces and splattered all over the ground.

The scorpion pursued the enemy and the needle on its tail shot out a beam of light. When the beam hit the water stains on the ground, the water stains immediately evaporated into steam. Even the water in the pool could not stand the high temperature and began to boil. Soon, the water in the pool and the water stains on the ground were all wiped out by the beam of light from the scorpion! Only an ugly fish was left on the ground!

It was then that Shi Yan discovered that the Jiao worm was actually a fish with a ferocious head and a body as long as a cutlassfish. It looked quite like a Jiao, but its belly was soft like a worm, which was disgusting to look at.

It turns out that this is what the dragon insect is.

"Haha, I won!" Bai Yucheng danced with joy. He was very proud of having the dragon worm picked up.

"It seems that Uncle Mo's puppet master was successful this time. However, if this thing can be mass-produced..." Bai Yucheng glanced at Mo Luoning and smiled, "It shouldn't be a big problem to conquer the three marginal areas."

Shi Yan, who was above, couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He thought to himself that this Bai Yucheng was really nothing. How could they want to mass-produce such a dangerous thing!

Mo Luoning ignored Bai Yucheng's words and just looked at the scorpion with a frown. Based on her experience, this matter was a little complicated.

She knew that this scorpion was just a test product. Although she didn't know how Mo Tianbo made it, without "Mozi", Mo Tianbo would never have been able to make it. At most, he could only imitate it. However, the ability displayed by this scorpion now exceeded the scope of her knowledge.

Suddenly, a scream was heard. Looking up, one saw that the cultivator sent by Bai Yucheng to pick up the dragon insects had died tragically at the hands of those recruited cultivators.

Bai Yucheng was immediately furious and started to curse, "You all don't want to live anymore? You want to touch the people from Bei'e Mountain? Come on, kill them all and extract their blood essence to use as energy for the poisonous scorpion!"

"Yes!" Several people behind him answered and flew out. But the scene in front of him made Bai Yucheng dumbfounded.

The cultivator in front seemed to have taken some tonic pills. He rushed towards this side with a knife in his hand and roared loudly.

"No!" Mo Chou suddenly said, "No, no, no, these people are being controlled!"

"Controlled?" After being asked by Mo Chou, Shi Yan looked carefully and found that there was a faint red thread on the back of these people's heads. The other end of the thread was actually the poisonous scorpion puppet. The red thread was actually connected to the crystal on the forehead of the poisonous scorpion puppet! Looking at these cultivators again, their eyes were red, the meridians on their necks were bulging, and streams of red blood were constantly flowing. Their expressions were also extremely ferocious.

These people were actually controlled by puppets!

This is a bit ironic. A puppet controlled by humans actually controls humans in turn!

Those monks were all full of energy, strong enough to bear mountains and as fast as jaguars. Even though their cultivation was not high, their large numbers suddenly formed a counter-suppression against the people of Bei'e.

Only at this point did Bai Yucheng realize that something was wrong.
