Two days later.
Everyone rested until they were in top condition before leaving the monster's lair.
Their expressions were solemn, yet also seemed to carry a hint of anticipation.
We're almost at our final destination.
With the protection of the talisman, seizing the opportunity should not be difficult.
This means they are one step closer to what they need.
After so many days and nearly half a month of continuous fighting, the exhaustion was indescribable, but now it was all worth it.
The group continued walking down the passage with great enthusiasm.
Chen Xue's eyes held a hint of anticipation, but her tone was somewhat grave as she said, "The nest we're going to is a little different. And the creatures there are much stronger; they are the Purple Scorpion Demons, ranked 479th on the Demon Ranking."
"Many of the powerful purple scorpion demons are probably around that spiritual object. However, the terrain inside is narrow, and using talismans will not be enough to wipe out this purple scorpion clan in one fell swoop. There will likely be a series of battles, and the power of talismans will need to be used repeatedly before these demonic beasts can be wiped out in one fell swoop."
"We waited outside to lure them in and kill them. Brother Shaorong used the Azure Ring first to eliminate most of the Purple Scorpion Demons. Then we fought our way through to find the opportunity. You all protected me as I used the Golden Flower Sword Talisman!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, with no objections. Since Chen Xue had all the specific information, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the arrangement, so naturally no one raised any objections.
"Thank you all. This is the final battle. If we successfully seize the spiritual treasure, the matter will be concluded satisfactorily. Afterwards, my Chen family will present the treasure." Upon seeing this, Chen Xue slightly cupped her hands and took the lead in stepping out.
With a sense of anticipation, everyone followed and gradually arrived at the outside of the Purple Scorpion Demon's lair through the passage.
Although these are monsters on the list of strange monsters, and now they are in groups, their combat power must be extremely strong. However, with the protection of talismans, the group showed no signs of worry. Instead, they looked ahead with a hint of anticipation.
soon.
As they arrived at the entrance to the passage, several huge black shadows quickly appeared inside, numbering only about a dozen.
However, the aura it exuded was extremely powerful.
Most of them are at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, with only a few at the Eleventh Level of Qi Refining.
The crowd immediately stepped in to defend, buying Chen Shaorong time to activate the Azure Jade Ring talisman.
As rays of spiritual light emanated and shone brightly, one could see that the purple scorpion demons before them, though ferocious in appearance, possessed a certain beauty.
The purple scorpion demon was over ten feet long, appearing larger than a tiger or lion. Its two pincers were enormous, larger than its entire body, and constantly waving, bringing a powerful sense of intimidation.
Behind the scorpion's claws were a pair of cold and indifferent eyes, gleaming with a black luster, like a black gemstone.
Their hard bodies are like small fortresses, and their purple shells shimmer with a metallic purple luster under the light, presenting perfect streamlined curves, which are very exquisite, like a work of art.
Its tail is raised high, reaching over ten feet in height. The poisonous needle is jet black and shiny, like a gleaming dagger, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment, sending chills down one's spine.
It looked both terrifying and extremely beautiful.
Although the number of these purple scorpion demons in front of us seems small, only a dozen or so, there is a clear contrast in numbers compared to the monsters we encountered before, which were often in the hundreds or thousands, or even dozens or hundreds.
But at this moment, everyone acted without hesitation, giving it their all. Lin Xiuyuan, with only a few talismans left, still threw out ten talismans at once, which shows his skill.
After all, it is a monster on the list of strange monsters. Even though it is ranked at the bottom, it is still extremely powerful. Ordinary cultivators would be no match for it in a one-on-one fight.
Their bodies are hard and difficult to break, possessing extremely strong protective abilities. Their pincers are fiercely powerful; for a purple scorpion demon of this level, those pincers are almost comparable to high-grade spiritual weapons. Most importantly, their poisonous stinger, when it shoots out, is comparable to a top-grade spiritual weapon. Once it stings, it basically means the end of the battle.
They rarely appear in groups in the outside world, usually only in groups of two or three. Even so, if an ordinary cultivator encounters them alone, even a cultivator from the Five Elements Sect would have virtually no chance of winning. Unless it is just one, they would usually turn around and run away.
The fact that more than ten have now appeared shows the pressure they have put on everyone.
If it weren't for the protective talisman, it would have been an extremely dangerous and arduous battle.
"I wonder how many demonic beasts that great demon king raised in this secret place back then. Besides the Purple Scorpion Demon, there must have been many other demonic beasts on the list of extraordinary demons."
"This demon's lair is truly terrifying. Unless both the righteous and demonic factions gather all their cultivators and prepare a great many talismans, they will be able to conquer this place."
Lin Xiuyuan looked at the menacing purple scorpion demon in front of him and felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret and admiration).
In the outside world, these monsters on the list of strange monsters are rarely seen, either extremely rare or living in the demon realm, making them difficult for cultivators to tame.
Now, after so many years of reproduction, these purple scorpion demons have formed such a huge clan. Who knows what other powerful demon beast clans lurk deep in that demon cave.
It seems there really is the remains of that great demon king in this underground demon cave? Otherwise, how could so many demon beasts gather here!
It is not a place that can be easily entered; if one encounters it alone, there is no choice but to flee or perish.
Even groups of cultivators would find it difficult to match them, unless they were a team with talismanic treasures like theirs.
