The attack failed and the Scorpion King disappeared. The Lord of Rakshasa Palace no longer had the chance to attack the Soul-Splitting Scorpion King again.
He failed...
Ling Xiang has fallen into a coma, and no one can accurately find the location of the Flowing Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion King again. They still have to face the continuous flow of Flowing Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpions.
Before long, the formation formed by the three parties was broken, and the Soul-Splitting Scorpions rushed in in an instant, stabbing the nearest person with their sharp pincers!
"ah!"
The wound of the person who was stabbed immediately turned black, and he fell unconscious due to the poison in a few moments. The Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpions swarmed over him and devoured him.
The Lord of Rakshasa Palace immediately ordered to adjust the strategy. Once someone fell, the others would immediately fill the vacancy and transfer the fallen people inside. Even if they would eventually die from the poison, at least they would not let their companions be eaten alive by the Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion before they could all die.
The screams continued. Ling Xiang recovered a little under the effect of the spiritual spring water and woke up.
"Miss." Xiaoyu was already frightened to tears by the scene in front of her, but she didn't dare to cry out loud. Seeing Ling Xiang wake up, she immediately helped her up.
Another person fell down, and a large group of Soul-Splitting Scorpions broke through the barrier formed by the Lord of Rakshasa Palace and others, and bit towards Ling Xiang and others inside.
Ling Xiang raised his hand and shot out sleeve arrows in succession, killing the Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion that broke in.
"Get your crossbow ready and protect yourself. If anyone is poisoned, give him an antidote pill immediately." Ling Xiang handed the storage bag containing the antidote pills to Xiaoyu, gave her some instructions, raised his sleeve arrow, and went up to fill in the position, blocking the Liuhun Lie Kuangxie on the periphery.
The Rakshasa Palace Master immediately took over the position Ling Xiang had been holding. "Go inside and regulate your breathing. I'm here."
"When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?" Ling Xiang insisted, and shot out the sleeve arrow directly after his spiritual power was exhausted.
There are so many Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpions that you don't even need to be accurate with your archery because there are Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpions everywhere.
The Lord of Rakshasa Palace was unable to persuade Ling Xiang, so he could only take care of her as much as possible and prevent any Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion from getting close to Ling Xiang.
However, as more and more people fell, their gaps became larger and larger. The Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion found an opportunity and broke into their protective circle in one go.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Xiaoyu mustered up her courage and shot a series of crossbow arrows, killing the Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion that broke in. Then, she followed Ling Xiang's example and filled the gap.
The number of people has decreased and has reached the limit of maintaining the protection circle. If anyone falls again, it will be their death.
The Lord of Rakshasa Palace reached for the storage ring. If the situation really came to a point of no return, even if his identity was exposed, even if everyone else was sacrificed, he would use the skull banner to save Ling Xiang.
"ah!"
Another person from the Rakshasa Palace was bitten, and the protective circle collapsed in an instant, and a large number of Soul-Splitting Scorpions poured in.
"Protect the young lady!" Lian Cailiang, Feng Xiaoyun, Min Yangze and others immediately surrounded Ling Xiang, protecting her firmly in the middle and using their bodies to block the attacks of the Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion for her.
"No!" Ling Xiang took out the pill, crushed it, and sprinkled it at the Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion to stop it from hurting people.
Min Yangze was the weakest and was the first one to fail to defend himself. He was bitten by the Soul-Splitting Scorpion and fell to the ground.
"Yangze!" Lian Cailiang quickly brought Min Yangze into his circle of protection.
However, manpower is limited, and there are too many Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpions, so it is inevitable that they will lose sight of one while focusing on another.
In the chaos, Ling Xiang was bitten, and her leg became paralyzed instantly, causing her to fall straight back.
The Lord of Rakshasa Palace hurried towards Ling Xiang, and the skull banner was ready.
It happened so fast that a sword came through the air and hit Ling Xiang on the head, but it did not hurt Ling Xiang at all. It killed the Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion accurately and instantly isolated a safe area.
Ling Xiang quickly took the soul-replenishing pill and the detoxification pill, secretly drank the spiritual spring water, and looked in the direction where the sword that saved her was flying.
A dark shadow came closer and soon appeared not far from her, waving his hand to recall the sword.
He made a magic gesture and attacked the group of Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpions, killing the Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion King accurately.
He moved his mouth and made a sound that no one else could understand. Then, the group of Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpions fled in all directions and soon disappeared without a trace.
Feng Xiaoyun came back to her senses and excitedly sent a message to Ling Xiang, "He has a talent for taming beasts! Miss, he's very likely from your clan! He's a member of our Feng family!"
The numbness in his legs disappeared, and Ling Xiang bowed and thanked him:
"Thank you for saving my life, fellow Daoist."
The man was wearing a golden dragon mask, and his eyes under the mask were staring at Ling Xiang.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist." The Lord of Rakshasa Palace flew over and stood beside Ling Xiang. He expressed his gratitude but was very wary of the newcomer.
People who come to the secret realm are all treasure hunters. Murder and treasure-stealing are common, and anyone can be an enemy.
What's more, the other party was able to easily drive away the group of Soul-Splitting Scorpions. Such a person's strength is too terrifying in this place full of spiritual beasts.
The man with the golden dragon mask ignored the Rakshasa Palace Master and flew over to Ling Xiang, "You've been poisoned."
Thinking of Aunt Yun's suggestion that the other person might be from the same clan as her mother, Ling Xiang looked at him with more sincerity: "The poison has been controlled. Give me some time, and I can prepare the antidote."
The man took out a bottle of antidote, looked at the others, and took out two more bottles of antidote: "Antidote, take one immediately, and take another one after six hours."
Ling Xiang mobilized the equipment and quickly analyzed the antidote ingredients, confirming that the antidote was fine. "Thank you, fellow Daoist."
"Come with me, he can't protect you." The man with the golden dragon mask didn't say it explicitly, but Ling Xiang and the Lord of Rakshasa Palace both knew that the other party was talking about the Lord of Rakshasa Palace, and he couldn't protect Ling Xiang.
The Luosha Palace Master immediately became alert and said, "Fellow Daoist, you didn't even reveal your identity, and you wanted Miss Ling to go with you. Even if you saved us, I can't help but doubt your motives."
The man with the golden dragon mask said disdainfully, "Fellow Daoist Chengxuan and I are old friends. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Chengxuan's sake, you would have already been eaten by the Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion. What right do you have to question me?"
Cheng Xuan is the Taoist name of Ling Xiang’s master Helian Xiao. The strength of the person who dares to call him by his Taoist name is self-evident.
Ling Xiang suggested: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. Since we have met by chance, why don't we all go together?"
Since the other party was a friend of the master, Ling Xiang naturally thought that he was a senior.
The man in the golden dragon mask remained silent and glanced at the others: "I only care about the life and death of Fellow Daoist Chengxuan's disciple. The others have nothing to do with me."
Ling Xiang was still holding three large bottles of antidote given by the man with the golden dragon mask. If he really didn't care about the lives of others, he wouldn't have used so many antidotes to save people just now.
He really has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
"Then let's go together. We should detoxify, regulate our breathing, and recover our spiritual power before continuing on our journey. How about that?" Ling Xiang distributed the antidote to the poisoned people.
Because they had the antidote, they saved everyone except the first person who was eaten alive by the Soul-Splitting Crazy Scorpion.
