C26 Scorpion

"You really want to go in?" Zhang Hao looked at the insects that had escaped from the cave for a while. Then, he turned his head to ask the two of them. Seeing them nod, he didn't say anything and walked towards the cave entrance.

Seeing that he did not stop them, Wu Bing and Wu Hou were slightly surprised in their hearts. However, they still quickly followed him.

After randomly sweeping those poisonous bugs away with their palms, the three of them then put out the fire. When they saw the scene inside the cave, their faces slightly changed. Within the cave, a small mountain of densely packed poisonous insects' corpses were firmly stuck in there. It was over a meter tall.

These poisonous bugs were no longer colorful like before. Instead, they were charred black by the great fire. Behind the black hills of poisonous bugs, there was a thick layer of colorful poisonous insects. However, their bodies were all stiff now. It was obvious that they had died from the smoke from the fire at the entrance or from being roasted to death.

Zhang Hao looked at the densely-packed bugs and slightly frowned. He immediately rejoiced in his heart. If it wasn't for the sudden thought of using fire to deal with these bugs, even if he didn't die, a layer of skin would have been skinned off by these bugs.

"Wow …" Just as he was rejoicing in his heart, Yu Xiaoqian who was beside him suddenly bent down and spat out.

Seeing that she was vomiting nonstop, Zhang Hao jokingly asked, "Do you still want to go in?"

When Yu Xiaoqian saw the densely packed bugs, she felt her stomach churning, but she forced herself to stay calm and endure it. She secretly guessed: "Since this guy wants to go into the cave so urgently, there must be something good inside. Whatever it is, I want to go in and take a look."

However, before she could suppress the churning feeling in her stomach, a revolting stench suddenly came from the hole, causing her pretty face to turn pale. She finally couldn't hold it in anymore and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Hearing Zhang Hao's mocking voice, Yu Xiaoqian stood up. She wiped the stolen goods from the corner of her mouth with her right hand and stubbornly glared at him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry. I won't be scared by these things." Then, he thought of something and took a step back, kicking Wu Bing. "What are you staring at? Hurry up and take these things away." This lass clearly didn't dare to do anything to Zhang Hao, so naturally, she decided to vent her anger on him!

Wu Bing was also extremely depressed. Why were you the first to think of me every time something like this happened? Although he thought this in his heart, he did not dare to say it out loud. Seeing that Yu Xiaoqian was clearly trying to bully him, he could only twitch the corner of his mouth. He walked up and picked up an unfinished branch from the side, spitting twice.

For a time, the scene looked majestic as he waved the branch. Sword Qi crisscrossed in the air, creating a rather extraordinary atmosphere.

Seeing Wu Bing clearing the way, a smile appeared on Yu Xiaoqian's face. She clapped and said, "You did well today. When we get back, I'll help Sister Zheng remember your meritorious service. Do a good job." With that, he patted Wu Junyi's shoulder with his small hand, appearing quite pleased with himself. Wu Junzi's eyebrows twitched, obviously angered by his words.

Zhang Hao noticed that the two of them were starting to get into an argument again, so he said, "You guys can stay here and argue. I'll go in first." Then, without waiting for their reaction, he walked straight into the depths of the cave.

Wu Bing wanted to get angry with Yu Xiaoqian, but he had no choice but to glare at her when he saw her walking towards the cave. He quickly followed her. The latter, on the other hand, did not seem to mind Wu Bing's glare and hurriedly followed him. Obviously, in her heart, Wu Bing's attitude was nothing out of the ordinary and she was already used to it.

"Tap, tap, tap." The moment their feet touched the ground, the sound they produced echoed in the cave. In this dark cave, the sound was like a rock, weighing down on the three of them.

"Why haven't they arrived yet?" Yu Xiaoqian was the first to ask, unable to hold her temper. It had been an hour since she entered the cave, but it was still endless darkness in front of her. This girl seemed to be getting nervous.

"How would I know?" "Wu Bing, on the other hand, was not as calm as she was." Don't say a word! " Zhang Hao frowned slightly and shouted in a deep voice when he heard the two of them talking.

When he had first entered this cave, the unexplainable unease in his heart had become even more intense, so he had been attentively listening to every minute sound that came from the cave. His soul force had also spread out from the mud ball and observed his surroundings.

At this time, he suddenly heard the two of them talking and immediately felt slightly angry. In this unknown dark and damp cave, if there was really something secretly watching them then any negligence would be enough to take the lives of the three of them. That was why he hastily ordered the two of them to stay silent.

"Bam." However, before he could finish his sentence, the ground beneath their feet suddenly split open. A huge black shadow flew towards the two of them, and a pungent smell wafted towards them, causing them to feel suffocated.

BOOM! A violent collision sound suddenly rang out in the cave. Immediately after, Wu Bing's body shot out like a cannonball and fiercely collided with the stone wall.

"Swish." As soon as his body landed on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood. When the black shadow swung towards the two of them, Wu Bing also reacted. With his zhenqi circulating rapidly, he blocked in front of Yu Qianqian and threw a punch towards the black shadow.

However, the moment his fist came into contact with the black shadow, he knew something was wrong. The force from the black shadow was extremely powerful, so powerful that it made his heart palpitate.

Fortunately, he had experienced a few life and death battles. After feeling the frightening strength of this energy, he hurriedly pushed the True Qi within his body to the limit. Immediately, he withdrew both of his hands and firmly protected his chest.

"Bam." He only felt a huge force that was like a ten thousand jin hammer smashing into his chest, and then his body flew out like a kite with its string cut, fiercely smashing into the cave wall. A muffled air assaulted his chest, and blood gushed out from his mouth.

"Ah …" At the same time, Yu Xiaoqian's piercing scream rang out. However, before her ear-piercing scream could fade away, a huge mound of earth swiftly formed on the ground not far from her. As the mound of earth formed, even the surrounding huge rocks began to crack and shatter.

Boom!" Immediately after, the mound exploded, and an angry roar resounded in the cave. Soon after, a huge black figure appeared in front of the three of them.

"Earth Devil Scorpion?" When the three of them saw this gigantic black shadow, Yu Xiaoqian and Wu Bing cried out involuntarily. Zhang Hao had already sensed that something was staring at him from the shadows, but he did not expect that this thing would always be hiding at their feet. When the black shadow suddenly appeared from the ground and rushed towards the two of them, the Spiritual Energy in his body circulated rapidly, he stamped his foot on the ground and quickly rushed towards the black shadow, attempting to stop it before it could reach the two of them.

However, that black shadow's speed was too fast, so fast that before his body could react, Wu Bing was already blown away. When Little Qian's scream rang out, he had just moved to the former's side, shielding her from the onslaught. Actually, he didn't know why he was doing this. Perhaps it was out of instinct!

"Earth Devil Scorpion!" As he looked at the colossus in front of him, he couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb. The colossal black shadow that broke out from the ground was a Demon Scorpion that brandished two gigantic pincers, but it was also very different from scorpions, especially with the two pincers that were constantly waving around. The two pincers were more than three meters long, and they took up more than half of its body.

In the middle of the claws, a malevolent big mouth was spewing out a foul stench, corroding the surrounding ground and emitting bursts of black smoke. Six huge stone pillar like legs supported the huge body, tightly blocking the entrance like a small mountain, clearly wanting to keep them here.

The strangest thing was the head of a baby on its back. A pair of blood-red eyes was staring at the three of them with hatred in their eyes. Their mouths were hissing and sticking out their tongues, causing people's scalps to go numb.

"What should we do?" Wu Bing quickly got up from the ground and walked in front of Zhang Hao. His face was filled with shock as he looked at the Earth Devil Scorpion. Then, he swallowed his saliva and turned his head to ask. At this time, Yu Xiaoqian had also recovered from her shock. She said excitedly: "How about we go all out against it?"

Zhang Hao and Wu Bing turned to look at her and did not say a word. Seeing the serious expressions on the two of them, she knew that her suggestion was nothing good. She awkwardly laughed and no longer spoke. However, her black eyes were staring intently at the Earth Devil Scorpion and were flickering with excitement.

Zhang Hao looked at the gigantic beast with a serious expression as he tried to come up with an idea of the situation that was unfolding in front of him. Are you all right? " "After making up his mind, he stopped hesitating and turned to ask. "Don't worry, this small injury isn't enough to make me retreat."

As if he knew what was on his mind, Wu Bing grinned and said: "What do you plan to do? Although Little Qian and I cannot help much, there shouldn't be any problem for us to help from the side. "

Zhang Hao's eyes sparkled. After scanning the surroundings, he said in a deep voice, "The terrain here is extremely unfavorable for us. Let's retreat to the cave first. You should bring Little Qian along first. I'll try and stop it."

He turned around and pulled Yu Xiaoqian along as he rushed into the dark cave. He knew that in this narrow cave, the three of them would not be able to use their full strength, and staying here would cause Zhang Hao to be unable to let go. Thus, he did not say anything, and after his figure flashed out, he warned, "Be careful."

Then, he pulled Yu Qianqian along and disappeared into the darkness …

As he looked at this strange thing, Zhang Hao took a deep breath, then began to slowly retreat. Nothing that could grow in this cave could be underestimated, he was not foolish enough to risk his life to fight this damned thing, and the reason why he came here was simply to obtain the thing that Ling'er was talking about. Moreover, the Earth Devil Scorpion in front of him was extremely ferocious, and with a single glance, he knew that it was not a good thing.
