208 Lots of Scorpions

Chapter 208

After some effort, Feng Ming and his four companions finally walked out of the forest where they were and saw a ruined building about ten kilometers away from the forest.

The four of them silently compared the map of the secret realm that was handed to them and roughly guessed their current location.

Qiu Yi said, "The front should be the residence of the disciples of Tianluo Sect in the secret realm, right? Should we go and take a look?"

The disciples of Tianluo Sect came in for trials, and the trial time would not be short, so there was a building in the secret realm dedicated to these disciples to live and rest, and some disciples would also be closed here for breakthroughs.

Although some disciples would leave their belongings in this temporary residence, the Tianluo Secret Realm had been opened so many times, and no matter how many items there were, they would not be able to withstand repeated searches, and even the ground might have been scraped off several layers.

Ji Yuan knew the most about the Tianluo Secret Realm among the few people. He suggested, "We can go and take a look. The vitality there may be more abundant than other places. After all, it is a place for disciples to practice, and the Yuan meridians are blocked underground. I remember reading that there was a record that a cultivator who entered tried to extract the underground Yuan meridians, but the formation to block the Yuan meridians was very complicated and it was impossible to enter it at all."

"But it is also said that the vitality that the veins there can provide is not as good as before. Perhaps in the eyes of several major forces, the value of the veins there has been greatly reduced."

Feng Ming became interested when he heard this: "Since no one else is interested, let's go. Anyway, we have half a year, so we don't have to rush."

​​Feng Ming wanted to go, and Bai Qiaomo certainly had no objection: "Then go."

Ji Yuan despised him in his heart. When Feng Ming said he was going, he had expected Bai Qiaomo to say that.

Sure enough, in the eyes of this guy, Feng Ming was right in everything he did, and they stood by him without any principles.

Of course, Ji Yuan had a smiling look on his face, and went to the ruins of the building in front with Qiu Yi.

With the detection array in hand and the help of the Miyou Butterfly, the four of them easily avoided people and wild beasts they didn't want to run into along the way, and successfully reached the ruined building.

Then they saw dense green light spots on the detection array, which made people feel claustrophobic.

Feng Ming's scalp tingled: "Oh my God, this place where people used to live has now become a wild beast's nest?"

Ji Yuan didn't expect this to happen. It seems that no one has come to this place for a long time, so it has become the territory of wild beasts.

Bai Qiaomo looked carefully at the light spots on the array, then looked up at the ruins in front of him and said, "It should be some kind of wild beast that lives in groups. Although there are many light spots, most of them are actually dim in color. Only a few are brighter, but they are densely packed together, making it difficult to judge."

Qiu Yi pointed at a few bees coming from afar and said, "Could it be that these bees have built a nest?"

Bai Qiaomo looked at Fengming to see if Fengming wanted to go in. If Fengming was not happy, he would not be interested in anything that built a nest inside.

Feng Ming looked at the bees and said, "If there are bees building nests, there must be a lot of honey."

Bai Qiaomo smiled and said, "Then let's go in and take a look. If it's bees, then we'll try to get some honey out."

Qiu Yi also agreed. The quality of the honey should be good and can be used to make medicine. If there is royal jelly, it will be even better.

Ji Yuan wanted to roll his eyes. His opinion seemed insignificant.

Okay, let's go in. If the bees sting people, he only needs to protect Junior Brother Qiu. Feng Ming will be left to Bai Qiaomo to worry about.

After reaching a consensus, the four of them stepped into the ruins carefully.

This place has really been abandoned for a long time. The four of them walked all the way and found almost no intact buildings.

Most of the collapsed buildings were covered by creeping vines. Whatever spiritual herbs they found, regardless of their grade, were picked by Feng Ming and Qiu Yi.

Along the way, the two alchemists picked all the spiritual herbs they saw, no matter how low their grade was, they would never waste them.

They might need them at any time. After all, they had to live here for half a year, and no one could predict what would happen.

After walking for a while, Bai Qiaomo stopped first.

"Brother Bai, did you find anything?"

Bai Qiaomo nodded and said, "I thought the wild beasts living in groups would be bee colonies, but now our judgment may be wrong."

"Is it because those bees did not appear on the array?" Ji Yuan guessed.

Bai Qiaomo nodded and said, "There is a spot of light, which should be right under our feet now."

Feng Ming almost jumped up. When Bai Qiaomo said "under our feet", his first reaction was a group of mice, which was not a pleasing thing.

Feng Ming pulled the little turtle lying on his shoulder and said, "Xiao Jing, do you feel that there is something hidden underground?"

The little turtle poked its head out to take a look, and then passed a message to Feng Ming. Feng Ming was surprised and said, "Xiao Jing, are you saying that there is a nest of scorpions hidden underneath?"

The little turtle nodded his head, it was a nest of scorpions.

Qiu Yi said with regret: "It turns out to be a scorpion nest, not a bee. Should we continue to look for it?"

Ji Yuan had already started, using the two swords he brought in as digging tools to dig up the top layer.

He wanted to see what kind of scorpions it was. He suspected that it was either left behind by the disciples of Tianluo Sect or brought in by the cultivators who later entered the secret realm.

Maybe the cultivator died in the secret realm, and the scorpions he brought with him also stayed, and built a nest here to reproduce.

Bai Qiaomo put away the formation and helped together, while Feng Ming and Qiu Yi watched from the side.

It didn't take much effort for the two of them to dig a deep pit together and saw the scorpions at the bottom of the pit.

There are only a dozen of them here, with a light purple back. Just by looking at the tail, you can tell that this scorpion is not easy to mess with.

"What kind of scorpion is this?"

"It's a purple scorpion. It's a purple scorpion. This kind of scorpion is very poisonous," Ji Yuan explained to the people about this scorpion like an encyclopedia.

"Usually, purple scorpions live in groups underground and don't like to see light. In addition, purple scorpions have another characteristic, which is that they like to eat things with vitality, especially underground where vitality is rich. This group of scorpions must have lived here for quite a while, so they have bred such a large group."

As Ji Yuan explained, Feng Ming's eyes also became interested: "This means that it is very likely because these scorpions have occupied this ruins that the concentration of vital energy here has been decreasing. The cultivators who passed by mistakenly thought that the underground meridians were degenerating and the supply of vital energy was getting less and less, but they didn't expect that there were many big consumers of vital energy hidden underground, right?"

Ji Yuan raised his thumb: "Yes, Fellow Daoist Feng is very good at picking out the key points. Fellow Daoist Bai, are you interested in finding the location of the scorpion king of this group of scorpions?"

Bai Qiaomo glanced at him and said: "Ji Dao "Do you know the strength of the Scorpion King? Can we withstand the attack of the scorpions commanded by the Scorpion King?"

Ji Yuan laughed: "Everything depends on human efforts. I think Fellow Daoist Feng is also very interested."

Bai Qiaomo asked again: "How to cure the poison of the Purple Nether Poisonous Scorpion?"

As expected of an encyclopedia, Ji Yuan quickly replied: "The excrement of the poisonous scorpion can breed a kind of magical herb, and that magical herb can be used to cure the poison of the scorpion."

Feng Ming and Qiu Yi both showed disgusted expressions. If they want to find a magical herb to cure the scorpion poison, they have to find the place where the scorpion defecates first.

Ji Yuan also smiled: "In fact, with Fellow Daoist Bai's detection array in hand, we can try to see if we can find the Scorpion King. As long as we subdue the Scorpion King, we don't have to worry about the other scorpions. By the way, Fellow Daoist Bai, can you observe what level of wild beast the Scorpion King is?"

Bai Qiaomo took out the array, pointed to the most dense group of light spots on it and said: "The Scorpion King is very likely in this position. "There are scorpions all around the Scorpion King. According to my guess, the Scorpion King is at least level 4, and it is possible that he has reached level 5."

He asked Ji Yuan: "Fellow Daoist Ji knows so much about the Purple Nether Poisonous Scorpion, so do you know any way to lure the Scorpion King out alone? It would be easier to subdue the Scorpion King, and there is no need to go deep into the scorpion group."

It's just a level 4 scorpion, and it's not difficult for the four of them to deal with it.

But the trouble is a group of scorpions. Even if the scorpions are all level 2 or 3, they will be very difficult to deal with if there are too many of them and they are very poisonous.

There is another possibility that the Scorpion King may be a level 5 wild beast.

So it would be best if you can outsmart it.

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and said, "As I just said, the Purple Nether Poison Scorpion likes to devour vital energy. The richer the vital energy, the more it likes it. We can try to use the elixir that wild beasts like, the Yuan Dan, or the spiritual fruit that is rich in vital energy, to see if we can lure the Scorpion King out."

Bai Qiaomo made the decision, "Then let's give it a try."

Scorpions are hiding underground, so there is no danger for them to move above.

According to Ji Yuan, if they don't actively attack this kind of scorpion, the scorpion would rather lie underground and gnaw on vital energy.

At first, they had placed their hopes on bees, but they didn't see many along the way. They were afraid that the bees scattered in this secret realm did not have their hives here. Qiu Yi was a little disappointed.

According to the detection array, the four of them climbed over a large area of ​​ruins and finally came to the top of the scorpion group with the most concentrated light spots.

Feng Ming took action first: "I have a Yang Yuan Dan, which I brought for Xiao Jing to eat."

Yang Yuan Dan is a kind of medicine that wild beasts love to eat the most. It is made by pharmacists for pets and is also good for the growth of pets.

The refining of Yang Yuan Dan is not complicated, and the spiritual herbs used are not too high-level, so Feng Ming will refine a lot of it whenever he has time.

Because he and Bai Qiaomo, in addition to raising a black crystal turtle, also have a small snake and a group of Miyou butterflies, and Yang Yuan Dan is for them to eat.

As soon as the bottle was opened, the scent of the best pill wafted out. Qiu Yi and Ji Yuan looked at Feng Ming in silence.

The best pills were used to feed pets. No pet could be as extravagant as Feng Ming's.

The little turtle was eager to take the pill after smelling it. Feng Ming poured out a pill and threw it over. The little turtle immediately caught it, then lay down and slowly chewed the pill.

At this time, Bai Qiaomo also took out something: "Among all the spiritual fruits, the one I brought should contain the most abundant vitality."

Ji Yuan and Qiu Yi looked at the palm of Bai Qiaomo's hand and were speechless again. It was the Silver Moon Fruit that could help the peak cultivators of the Yuanye Realm advance to the Yuandan Realm.
