"Rustling sound~"
As Yue Jiuzai walked into the fork in the road on the right, her keen hearing detected that the strange sounds had followed, and that their numbers seemed to have increased. However, she didn't pay any attention to it, paused briefly, and then continued walking.
Yue Jiu Nian initially entered the passage on the right because she sensed a wind direction. However, the further she went in, the stronger the wind became, and she could hear the wind. After walking further and further, she even discovered a light ahead.
"Hey~ Could this be an exit?"
When Yue Jiuzai saw the light ahead, he suddenly became curious. Could there really be an exit here? But if there was an exit, why were those people going through all that trouble to dig the tomb passage?
However, she didn't think about this problem for long, because she soon found the answer. When Yue Jiuzai reached the end of the passage, she found that there was indeed an exit in front of her. However, the exit was too precarious. It was located on the lower half of a high mountain, and there was a huge waterfall next to the exit!
Looking at the magnificent waterfall beside her and the huge lake below, Yue Jiuzai pondered. She wondered if the mountain was a bit too high. How did those people come up with the idea of building their tomb here? It's such a desolate place; it would be difficult for their descendants to come and pay their respects.
Just as Yue Jiuzai was sighing in her heart, the commotion behind her became even more obvious. Yue Jiuzai felt that now that she knew what the exit looked like, it was time to deal with the 'tagalong' behind her.
But when she turned around to look at those 'tagalongs', she was startled, because all the ghosts that had been following her were gone, and now something else was following her.
Less than five meters behind her, four or five scorpions, each the size of a football, were squatting! And those scorpions even had human faces growing on their backs!
"Holy crap, is this a ghost?!"
Yue Jiuzai actually found these insects and the like quite disgusting, let alone these scorpions with human faces. So when she turned around and saw those big scorpions, her face immediately darkened.
She looked coldly at the things that disgusted her, and then said, "You really are disgusting. Do you look like this because you're afraid people won't know you grew up eating human flesh?"
Those scorpions with human faces have a distorted human face on their backs, and their bodies are dozens of times larger than normal scorpions. Their bodies are also colorful, and their sharp, venomous tails are thicker than those of ordinary scorpions. It is obvious that they are not a normally growing species. They are probably deliberately kept here to guard the tomb.
However, Yue Jiuzai wasn't afraid when she saw them. She was just a little curious. It was obvious that no one had been in this tomb for a long time. If no one came in, there was nothing for them to eat. She wondered how these disgusting things had survived and grown so big.
When the scorpions saw Yue Jiuzai turn around, they all lay still on the ground, wary. However, when they saw that Yue Jiuzai did not make any move, they began to stir, probably wanting to attack Yue Jiuzai and have a feast.
"Heh~ Do you all really want to eat me that badly? Aren't you afraid of getting yourselves caught in the crossfire?"
Watching them cautiously crawl towards him, Yue Jiuzai sneered, "Sigh~ As expected, bodies imbued with spiritual energy are always targeted. I suddenly feel like giving up on this body~"
Seeing that Yue Jiuzai still hadn't made a move, the giant scorpions finally couldn't hold back any longer and began to leap up and pounce on Yue Jiuzai!
Moreover, they made strange hissing sounds as they moved, as if they were communicating with each other.
When Yue Jiuzai was attacked by the giant scorpions, he quickly opened his claws and threw a fireball, using the scalding flames to block the giant scorpions.
"Tsk tsk~ You think you can beat me in a gang fight? If that were the case, I would have died countless times already!"
After saying this, Yue Jiuzai threw a fireball at the largest scorpion closest to her, and the fireball did not disappoint her, roasting the scorpion instantly!
