210 The Scorpion King is a Foodie
Chapter 210
Scorpions are very sensitive to vitality. The Scorpion King, who was originally sleeping soundly in his nest, was awakened by the fragrance coming from the ground.
After communicating with his subordinates, the Scorpion King followed the tempting fragrance all the way up.
Perhaps because scorpions have occupied this place and bred a large group, they have never encountered any natural enemies, so the Scorpion King did not send his subordinates to investigate first, but rushed up.
Bai Qiaomo stretched out his hand and wiped it, and the scene outside the formation appeared in front of them.
Just a few breaths after Bai Qiaomo's reminder, the four saw the soil and stones on the ground being overturned, and first a scorpion as big as a millstone crawled out from the ground.
Ji Yuan was surprised: "Is this the Scorpion King? Yes, it is the Scorpion King. You can see the golden pattern on its back. This is the symbol of the Scorpion King. Only one Scorpion King will be born in a group." Ji Yuan
did not expect that the Scorpion King would be the first to rush out. It can be seen that the things they put in the formation are too attractive to the Scorpion King.
The Scorpion King came out first, and then followed by scorpions that were much smaller than the Scorpion King.
The Scorpion King is a millstone, and the scorpions behind are the size of a washbasin.
From a single glance, it doesn't seem very big. Some of the level 4 and 5 wild beasts outside are as big as a small hill.
However, if a group of hundreds or even thousands of scorpions the size of a wash basin appeared in front of them, it is estimated that the reaction of many cultivators would not be to fight them, but to turn around and retreat quickly.
The Scorpion King didn't know to wait for its subordinates. It crawled out of the ground and quickly moved its claws to run into the formation. This way was of course smooth and unobstructed. Bai Qiaomo and Ji Yuan specially left a door for the Scorpion King.
But after entering this door, it is not so easy to return.
When the scorpions ran quickly into the formation, Bai Qiaomo immediately closed the formation.
The group of scorpions that followed behind suddenly lost their pleasant aroma, and there was no trace of the Scorpion King.
More and more scorpions came out from the ground, and then circled outside the formation, which made people's scalps numb.
Fortunately, there were two formation masters present, otherwise who would want to face such a group of poisonous scorpions.
After the retreat was closed, the Scorpion King did not notice it, and only focused on the delicious food, and did not realize that none of his brothers followed.
The Scorpion King rushed forward and finally came in front of the delicious food. He was about to pounce on it and swallow it in one bite, but he found that he could not pounce on it. There was a wall between him and the delicious food.
Bai Qiaomo pulled out the long spear he had been carrying from his back and said to Ji Yuan, "Get ready for battle."
"Okay." Ji Yuan's weapon was a sword, which could be split into two.
Feng Ming and Qiu Yi also took out their own weapons. Feng Ming also brought a sword, and a whip tied around his waist, which could be used to harass the opponent from a distance.
Qiu Yi also brought a sword, but what he took out this time was a bow. He
had the same idea as Feng Ming, and also attacked the enemy from a distance, helping Ji Yuan.
At this time, Bai Qiaomo controlled the formation and closed the channel for the smell to be transmitted, so that the Scorpion King could no longer smell the fragrant smell.
But it followed the smell and knew that the delicious food was just ahead, so it made a sharp cry and began to hit the "wall".
Feng Ming watched from behind and said, "I never thought that this Scorpion King was actually a Level 4 peak wild beast. It was just one step away from being promoted to Level 5, so it ran so fast and is so angry now." The
Silver Moon Fruit has an effect on cultivators breaking through and advancing to higher levels, and the same is true for wild beasts.
After swallowing this Silver Moon Fruit, this Scorpion King might be able to advance to Level 5, so instinct will drive the Scorpion King to grab the Silver Moon Fruit.
Qiu Yi was relieved to find that it was a Level 4 peak wild beast. If it was a Level 5 wild beast, it would be even more difficult to entangle.
"Yes, fortunately it's level 4, Fellow Daoist Bai and Senior Brother Ji should be able to handle it."
The Scorpion King was really angry, not only did he hit the formation, but he also began to spray venom.
Bai Qiaomo and Ji Yuan both discovered that the venom really had a certain corrosive effect on the formation.
If the Scorpion King was given enough time, he might really corrode the formation and have a feast.
Ji Yuan said, "Brother Bai, the underground won't be hollowed out by these scorpions, right?"
Bai Qiaomo: "We have to go and see."
The two walked a dozen steps and appeared behind the Scorpion King, one on the left and one on the right. The angry Scorpion King actually noticed their presence, turned around and stared at the two with blood-red eyes, then rushed towards them. Bai Qiaomo and Ji Yuan immediately attacked.
Feng Ming and Qiu Yi followed behind, holding their weapons in their hands, ready to attack at any time to create some trouble for the Scorpion King.
This Scorpion King is not only poisonous, but also has a strong shell defense. Bai Qiaomo's sharp stabs could not cause any damage to the shell.
Not to mention Ji Yuan, whose attack power was much weaker than Bai Qiaomo's.
However, Bai Qiaomo and Ji Yuan were not interested in killing the Scorpion King, because after killing him, they would have to face more crazy attacks from the scorpions and would not be able to enter the underground where the scorpions were entrenched to check the situation of the meridians.
The two of them were just trying to consume the power of the Scorpion King. Although the Scorpion King had a powerful venom, the two of them were formation masters and could use the power of formations to dodge.
After nearly half an hour of fighting, Bai Qiaomo and Ji Yuan were not tired at all, but the Scorpion King was beaten so badly that he could hardly spray out venom.
The hard shell on its body could not withstand Bai Qiaomo's stabbing again and again, so it also had some damage. Compared with the majestic appearance when it first appeared, it was now much more wolfish.
The Scorpion King was still squeaking at the two people, and occasionally turned his head to look in the direction of the delicious food. Even after being beaten so badly, he was still thinking about the bite of food.
Bai Qiaomo pointed the tip of the gun at the Scorpion King and asked Ji Yuan: "Fellow Daoist Ji, are you going to contract this Scorpion King?"
Ji Yuan was stunned when he heard it: "Aren't you going to contract it?"
If it weren't for Bai Qiaomo's detection array, they would not be able to discover so many scorpions hidden underground. Even if they lured the Scorpion King out, the Silver Moon Fruit provided by Bai Qiaomo also played a big role.
No matter how you look at it, Bai Qiaomo took all the credit. Why didn't he want to contract the Scorpion King himself?
You know, this Scorpion King is on the verge of a promotion. After his injuries are healed, maybe a Silver Moon Fruit will allow him to break through. Then he can have a helper with Yuandan realm strength. Who can be willing to give up?
Ji Yuan couldn't resist the temptation either, but he knew that Bai Qiaomo had made greater contributions, and he was no match for Bai Qiaomo.
Use formations to trick Bai Qiaomo? Don't even think about it, this guy's formation skills are not lower than his, and who knows who will trick whom.
Bai Qiaomo touched his wrist. He already had one, and didn't want a second one for the time being. Well, the Miyou butterfly is for auxiliary use.
Mingdi also raised a little turtle and a Miyou butterfly, as well as a bird of unknown species that had not yet hatched, but it was not needed for the time being.
Although the Scorpion King would soon be promoted to level five, Bai Qiaomo asked himself if he was far from being promoted and could protect Mingdi.
Bai Qiaomo said, "Brother Ming and I both have it, why don't you discuss with Fellow Daoist Qiu about who will contract the Scorpion King."
They wanted to use a formation to trap the Scorpion King and defeat it, not to kill the Scorpion King and then face the swarms of scorpions.
The fundamental purpose is to contract the Scorpion King, then control the Scorpion King, and then command the scorpions, so that they will not be besieged by the scorpions when they enter the underground.
Ji Yuan was a little surprised, but he looked at Feng Ming and found that he had the same idea, so he knew that Bai Qiaomo was really not being polite to him.
Ji Yuan looked at Qiu Yi and said, "Junior Brother Qiu, you come to contract the Scorpion King."
Qiu Yi shook his head and said, "I don't have that much time to train a pet, so you should come, Senior Brother Ji. If I wanted one, my mother would have found one for me long ago."
Senior Brother Ji was different from him. Senior Brother Ji had to fight for everything on his own.
Although Qiu Yi was devoted to refining medicine, he was not completely ignorant of Senior Brother Ji's situation. He could only tell others that he was protecting Senior Brother Ji by his frequent appearances beside him.
Now that Senior Brother Ji had contracted a Scorpion King that was about to advance, Senior Brother Ji's strength would be even stronger, and he would be able to protect any troublesome enemies.
Seeing Ji Yuan still hesitant, Feng Ming said, "Be straightforward. You come this time. Next time you encounter a good wild beast that can be contracted, let Fellow Daoist Qiu come. Why are you dragging your feet?"
Ji Yuan was choked. He almost got asked if he was a man. He heard the implication of Feng Ming's words.
Ji Yuan was not an indecisive person. He also knew that it was better for him to contract the Scorpion King because he might face the most dangerous enemy in the royal family.
And Lanyang County, whether there was really a trap prepared for him, it was very important to improve his strength at this time.
Ji Yuan said sorry to Junior Brother Qiu in his heart, then nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Daoist Fellow Bai and Daoist Fellow Feng, I will make the contract."
Qiu Yi reminded, "Be careful, the Scorpion King will not agree and will retaliate."
"I know."
Ji Yuan dared to make a contract with the Scorpion King because he relied on his strong soul power. Like the formation master and the pharmacist, they both need the talent of soul power.
Bai Qiaomo suppressed the Scorpion King, and Ji Yuan took the opportunity to use his soul power to probe into the Scorpion King's brain, communicate with him, suppress him, and try to persuade him. Bai Qiaomo
passed a message on the side, saying that if he agreed to the contract, the silver moon fruit and other delicacies would belong to the Scorpion King. Ji
Yuan, whose soul power probed into the Scorpion King's organs, of course also received it, and his heart was touched.
Even if Bai Qiaomo himself could not eat the Silver Moon Fruit, it was not a reason for him to ask for it.
He originally thought that after the contract with the Scorpion King, he would help the Scorpion King find something to break through and advance.
He also used the promise to help the Scorpion King advance to entice it to make a contract with him.
Obviously, the promise that cannot be seen is far less attractive than the real delicacy. Ji Yuan found that as soon as Bai Qiaomo's message was transmitted through soul power, the Scorpion King's consciousness that was desperately resisting and not wanting to surrender was somewhat loosened.
This... So the Scorpion King is a foodie? Ji Yuan thought speechlessly.
Bai Qiaomo explained at this time: "If there are more good things underground, I will take more."
Ji Yuan no longer hesitated: "Okay, this is what I should do."
So Ji Yuan also increased his soul input, suppressing and tempting him vigorously. Unexpectedly, the Scorpion King really succumbed to the delicious food in the end, and Ji Yuan actually got a willing response.
