C23 Arrival

After the red clothed female left, Yuan Chiying quietly stood up, patted the dust off his body, and turned around to mount his horse, quickly galloping towards Han Mo.

The closer they got to the Han Mo, the fewer people Yuan Chiying noticed. This was not surprising, after all the Han Mo was the number one forbidden area in the Empire, if they couldn't find any clues regarding the location of the treasures in the Han Mo, most people wouldn't be willing to take this risk.

There were quite a lot of bandits around, and they specifically robbed wealthy people. Fortunately, other than the spatial ring on Yuan Chiying's finger, the most valuable thing would probably be the horses below him. Furthermore, their speed was extremely fast, and some of the bandits did not intervene.

After a day of travelling, Yuan Chiying finally arrived at the entrance of Han Mo. At the entrance of the Han Mo, there were two three thousand meters tall stone pillars standing tall, and the diameter required six adults to spread their arms around it at the same time to encircle it. On the body of the pillar, there was a row of ancient characters inscribed, but even with Yuan Chiying's experience, he was unable to comprehend the meaning of the words.

Yuan Chiying did not stay there for long, he dismissed the horses, and walked in. He did not know if it was just his imagination, but the temperature of the Han Mo seemed to be higher than the outside. What was even more surprising was that the scenery outside the pillar, was as vast as a vast desert.

Once he stepped into the Han Mo, the scenery around him changed. Every thousand meters, he would be able to see green fields, and he could even see palaces made from sand and earth. It was like a mirage that gave people the feeling that he entered a different world.

Fortunately, Yuan Chiying had come prepared, so with a thought, the spatial ring's blueprint floated into Yuan Chiying's hands. This blueprint was something Fang Wu had left especially for Yuan Chiying, and on it, there was his father, the mark that he had left on the Han Mo.

According to the map, Yuan Chiying needed to travel for at least half an hour every six hours, because in the Han Mo, the greatest danger was the natural disaster. In this area, there would be a large sandstorm that would erupt every six hours, and it would be able to obstruct the spirit energy in the body of the cultivator.

The goal Yuan Chiying was searching for was at the center of Han Mo, which was also known as the border point. This realm truly separated the two great domains of the Han Mo, and everything within the realm was an unknown existence.

Yuan Chiying kept the map and sprinted towards the green fields. After running for around two hours, he was still unable to reach the green fields.

"There really is something strange going on!" Yuan Chiying muttered to himself.

Looking at the distance, the green wilderness was only a thousand meters away, but it was not like that at all. The green wilderness seemed to be formed from the reflection of the sun, but Yuan Chiying did not panic, because there was still time, because according to the markings on the map, as long as he followed the direction of the sun, he would not lose his direction.

"Hmm?"

Yuan Chiying frowned, his eyes slightly narrowed, his vision a little hazy. A beautiful figure flashed in front of his, and when he looked closely, he was actually that red-clothed female. His current state didn't seem to be right, as a gigantic scorpion continuously wiggled its scale-covered tail.

This type of scorpion was called "Phantom Scorpion", it's body was filled with poison, and it was unique to this area. If ordinary people were stung by it, within three breaths, their entire body would fester, and even Spirit Building Stage Cultivator would not be able to hold on for half a minute.

It was obvious that the red-clothed girl in front of him was unable to avoid these Phantom Scorpion. After all, these Phantom Scorpion were hidden in the desert, and it would be difficult to detect them if they did not take the initiative to attack.

Fortunately, the lady in red had the Dragon and Phoenix Bow in her hands, and her strength was astonishing. Her speed was extremely fast, and when she fought with the Phantom Scorpion, she was not at a disadvantage. The Phantom Scorpion had a lot of battle experience, even a person as strong as the lady in red would not be able to defeat the Phantom Scorpion in a short period of time.

The scorpion tail swayed back and forth, and could sting. Its tail was as black as ink, and the place where the poison was released.

The lady in red did not dare to be careless, every time she pushed back the Phantom Scorpion, the lady in red's nimble body would quickly increase the distance between them and shoot arrows. It was just that the gigantic Phantom Scorpion had rough skin and thick flesh, and the phoenix flames the lady in red used was actually unable to cause much damage to the Phantom Scorpion.

Because this Phantom Scorpion grew in the Han Mo and had rich battle experience, it used its sandy advantage to force the red-clothed female to appear in danger. As time passed, the red-clothed female's exhaustion seemed to become even more severe, and her pretty face had already revealed signs of exhaustion.

"Be careful …" Yuan Chiying shouted loudly.

Just as the lady in red was about to retreat and dodge the attack from the Phantom Scorpion's tail, suddenly, the sand behind the woman in red wiggled and a scorpion tail that was as thick as a human leg pierced out from the sand, piercing straight through the woman in red's back.

When the red-clothed female heard Yuan Chiying's shout, her jade feet touched the ground, and her waist unbelievably twisted in midair. In the end, she managed to dodge the fatal strike behind her with great danger, and then, the red-clothed female placed the Dragon and Phoenix Bow horizontally in front of her chest. The gigantic Phantom Scorpion's tail directly swept towards the Dragon and Phoenix Bow in the red-clothed female's hands.

Clang!

The red clothed female felt as if she had suffered a heavy blow and her petite body was forcefully pushed back more than ten metres. The red clothed female's beautiful face was covered with beads of sweat and her hands were slightly numb from the impact.

It had to be known that the red-clothed female's battle power was not weak compared to Yuan Chiying. Even when facing the combined attacks of Zhao An and the others, she was not in such a sorry state.

The sand continued to wiggle, and in the end, the creature that had ambushed the red-clothed female also stuck its head out. It was also a Phantom Scorpion, but compared to the large Phantom Scorpion beside it, this one was undoubtedly much smaller.

The lady in red's face was full of seriousness. It had to be said that just the Phantom Scorpion alone was enough to almost make her fall, and now with the addition of a small Phantom Scorpion, the pressure on the woman in red increased exponentially.

With regards to this, Yuan Chiying could see clearly, although he was not related to the red clothed female, but since he had met her, he could not just ignore her. Furthermore, he was an absolute beauty, Yuan Chiying did not hesitate at all and spread his legs, running towards the red clothed female's direction.

"Little big sister, I'm here to lend you a hand." Yuan Chiying said with a smile.

When the red-clothed female heard this, her beautiful eyes glanced at Yuan Chiying, who was running over, and her pleasant voice rang out: "Hold on for that little one, leave the rest to me."

Yuan Chiying nodded his head, his gaze turning to the Little Demon Scorpion in front, and said: "Big sister, we have to quickly finish this battle, this large Phantom Scorpion should be their leader, no one knows when the Little Demon Scorpion will emerge from the ground, so we are going to end our lives here."

The lady in red lightly nodded her head and then bit down on her fingertip. A drop of fresh, red blood dripped onto the Dragon and Phoenix Bow with a faint glow, and immediately, the Dragon and Phoenix Bow's body became bright as it emitted a buzzing sound, as if it was responding to the woman in red.

Suddenly, a ball of crimson colored flame rose up from the Dragon and Phoenix Bow. This ball of flame came from the Dragon and Phoenix Bow itself, and the temperature of the ball of flame could be said to be extremely shocking, even Yuan Chiying who was beside his could feel the terrifying high temperature within.

Yuan Chiying took a deep breath, and the blood in his body began to boil. The veins on his right arm bulged, and with a stomp on the ground, he was the first to rush out.

At the same time, the red clothed female's figure flew over like the wind. Even though she was late, her speed was far faster than Yuan Chiying's, in a blink of an eye, the Dragon and Phoenix Bow in the red clothed female's hand was covered with terrifying flames, and smashed towards the gigantic Phantom Scorpion.

The Phantom Scorpion's reaction was surprisingly fast, its gigantic tail swept forth, and collided with the Dragon and Phoenix Bow. The lady in red gritted her teeth, and her fair hands held tightly onto the Dragon and Phoenix Bow, not retreating at all, while the crimson flames on the Dragon and Phoenix Bow burned the Phantom Scorpion's scaly tail, releasing a pungent smell.

Woo!

The gigantic scorpion wailed miserably, and in just a few breaths of time, the scales on the Phantom Scorpion's tail had already been peeled off. The Phantom Scorpion was in pain, and instinctively retreated, and the red-clothed girl saw that it had been defeated and took advantage of it.

Boom! *

The strike landed, and not only did the flames on the Dragon and Phoenix Bow, even the phoenix flames within the red-clothed female's body scattered all over the Phantom Scorpion's head. The terrifying flames quickly enveloped the Phantom Scorpion's entire body, and mournful wails continuously resounded from the flames.

As for Yuan Chiying, after gathering all of his strength, he used the Dragon Form and fiercely struck the small sized Phantom Scorpion on its head. Dang! The small scaled Phantom Scorpion was in pain, and its body was pushed back several meters.

Furthermore, even under the condition of not being injured, the Phantom Scorpion only swayed its body slightly, and then moved its scorpion tail, rushing over quickly and used its black tail to directly sweep at Yuan Chiying's head. Yuan Chiying's reaction was not slow, he immediately bowed and dodged, following that, Yuan Chiying stepped forward, and his body shot out like an arrow.

Both of his arms released power at the same time, and his right eye flashed with a red light. The Burning Blood Arts in his body circulated to its limit, and once again smashed towards the small sized Phantom Scorpion's head, the powerful energy produced from the explosion of the dragon's form finally caused the small sized Phantom Scorpion's head to have a deep wound, and the small scaled Phantom Scorpion was directly smashed away, smashing into the sand, while the scorpion's body continuously trembled on the ground.
