Chapter 652: The Tide of Black Scorpions



This umbrella is not an ordinary oil-paper umbrella, but a defensive spiritual weapon called Tianluo Umbrella.

Although it cannot be used as a spiritual weapon now, it is also good as a parachute.

If it were an ordinary umbrella, it would probably break into pieces after a few hits under such strong winds. However, this Tianluo umbrella is a spiritual weapon, and the workmanship is naturally top-notch, strong and durable. Xue Huan held it and slowly descended, and during this time he still had the mood to look around.

There are cliffs on all sides and a valley below, which is pitch black and looks eerie.

I don’t know what dangers are lurking underneath.

The cliff was too far away from her and she had no way to stop herself from falling. She could only wait until she reached the bottom and then look for a way out.

But she was puzzled as to why she was teleported directly into the air after entering the spirit world. Could it be that the barrier recognized her as an outsider and deliberately wanted her to die?

This is a broken barrier!

After landing, Xue Huan tried, but still couldn't use her spiritual power. Fortunately, she had always been prepared for a rainy day. She carried several treasure bags that could be opened without spiritual power, and she was well prepared with food, clothing, water, etc. Even if she was trapped here for a short time, she didn't have to worry too much.

She took out a dagger. The dagger was dark and plain, and looked blunt, but it was actually very sharp. This was also left to her by Pei Ji. There were two ancient seal characters on the dagger - Dragon Teeth.

I don’t know whether this dagger is called “Dragon Tooth” or whether it means that this dagger is made of dragon teeth.

Although she could not infuse spiritual power into the dagger, the dagger itself was sharp enough. Moreover, after she dripped blood to recognize the owner, the dagger would never hurt her. Even if she used the dagger to cut herself, it would not leave a scar.

It's as if this dagger has a soul.

Therefore, the dagger had no sheath, so she could hold it with her bare hands without worrying about getting cut by the dagger.

Xue Huan held an umbrella in one hand and a dagger in the other, and walked in a direction.

The cliffs on all sides were towering into the sky and as smooth as mirrors. Without using her spiritual power, she could not climb up, so she could only find a way out from the valley.

While she was in mid-air, she carefully observed the terrain of the valley. There was a stream in the direction she chose. She should be able to find a way out by following the direction of the stream, right?

To get to the stream, one had to pass through a dark forest. The trees were pitch black, giving it a dark fairy tale feel. Xue Huan walked in cautiously.

When my foot stepped on a dead leaf, it made a slight noise, but this tiny noise was like a switch, making the entire forest come alive in an instant!

She didn't use it metaphorically, she meant it literally!

Those trees are moving!

No, it’s not the tree that moved, but the layer covering the surface of the tree that moved!

The pitch-black substance receded from the tree like a tide, making a piercing reptilian sound and surging towards her from all directions. When Xue Huan saw clearly what those things were, she couldn't help but feel her scalp tingling and her hair standing on end.

Those were actually scorpions as big as a palm!

Those scorpions were shiny black and looked very poisonous.

Xue Huan quickly ran back the way she came, and then the scorpions whizzed towards her as if they hadn't eaten for eight hundred years.

That speed is terrifyingly fast.

Xue Huan didn't dare to slow down at all, but the scorpions were smart and knew how to take a shortcut and surround her from both sides. Seeing that she was about to be surrounded by poisonous scorpions, she quickly took out a bottle of insect repellent, sprinkled it around her like chili powder, and also sprinkled a layer on her body.

If the anthelmintic doesn't work, she'll have no choice but to fight these bugs to the end!

After she developed this anthelmintic, she conducted many tests and the effect was amazing. However, these scorpions were creatures from another world, so she was a little unsure whether the anthelmintic would be effective.

However, it turned out that her anthelmintic was just as effective in the other world. As soon as the powder was sprinkled, the scorpions retreated as quickly as they had when they were chasing her.

But after retreating to a certain distance, they stopped moving again, still forming a big circle around her, and didn't leave, just staring at her with a fierce look.

Wherever Xue Huan went, the scorpions would avoid her as much as possible. In this way, she didn't need to be afraid of them anymore.

On the contrary, now it was the scorpions' turn to be afraid of her.

Looking at the scorpions that seemed to be about to crawl over and bite her but then retreated cowardly, Xue Huan suddenly felt that these big scorpions were quite cute.

These ones are so big, I wonder how they taste?

Although she had prepared enough fasting pills in her treasure bag, she didn't know how long she would be trapped here. These scorpions in front of her were food offered to her. Why not get some as reserve food?

In order to avoid taking up space, she did not prepare much food in the treasure bag. After all, the treasure bag is not a space artifact like a storage bag. The things placed inside are isolated from the air and can be kept fresh. The treasure bag is just a bag that looks small but has a relatively large capacity and limited capacity.

Food put in it will easily spoil.

What she prepared the most was the fasting pill, which did not take up much space and could last for three days after taking one pill.

The thought that she would probably have to rely on the fasting pills for a long time in the future made her reject it in her heart. Although she improved the taste of the fasting pills, it was still not very delicious.

Isn’t scorpion meat delicious?

Having made up her mind, Xue Huan looked at the scorpions with greedy eyes. It seemed that the scorpions sensed the threat from her, a big foodie. They felt uneasy and became agitated.

It seemed like she wanted to leave and go back to sleep on the tree, but she couldn't bear to leave such a big piece of meat behind.

Xue Huan didn't care what these scorpions thought. Since she had decided to get some as food reserves, she immediately took out a stick of incense from her treasure bag and lit it.

This incense is a simplified version of the soul-destroying incense. It is only effective against insects. After the insects smell it, those with poor resistance will die instantly, and those with strong resistance will also be knocked unconscious.

As the cigarette smoke rose into the air, the smell of the incense spread, and all the scorpions in the circle closest to Xue Huan lay down one by one.

The people behind him saw what was happening and ran away immediately.

Those who ran slowly could not escape the fate of being knocked unconscious, and the ground was covered with a layer of scorpions.

Xue Huan felt like a seafarer, the waves washing a pile of seafood onto the shore, just waiting for her to pick it up. But before she did, she had to confirm whether these scorpions were edible and whether they tasted good.

Otherwise it would be a waste of time to pick it up.

Xue Huan folded up the Tianluo Umbrella and used it as a broom to sweep all the scorpions aside, forming a small hill.

After clearing the ground, she found a few large bunches of branches, lit a fire, and when the fire was burning well, she threw a few fat scorpions in.

Before she could determine the scorpion's taste, they weren't worth wasting her seasoning on, so she just dealt with it simply and roughly.
