Li Yao kicked the young man away and rolled away himself.
The venom sputtered to the ground and made a sizzling sound. The solid rock was corroded into a ghastly hole.
The Emperor Sand Scorpion was in so much pain that it wanted to die. It slapped its tail crazily and rolled on the ground, but it couldn't pull out the hollow leg bone on its back.
The venom gland was like its heart, and the venom was the essence of its life. The venom was spurting out for three minutes before it gradually died down. The Emperor Sand Scorpion collapsed helplessly and died.
Li Yao jumped forward and plucked out the leg bone that had been contaminated with venom. It was a great material for refining and should not be wasted.
The young man sat on the ground and breathed heavily for three minutes, before he finally recovered from the shock of the near-death experience.
He gazed at Li Yao with appreciation and admiration, as well as confusion. He didn't understand why Li Yao had finished off the big guy with only half a bone dagger.
Li Yao sniffed. More than ten plans for collecting intelligence flashed in his head, while he jumped off the back of the Emperor Sand Scorpion.
While he was still in midair, alarms were ringing in his head. After a boom, another Emperor Sand Scorpion, which was smaller in size and scarlet in color, dashed out of the sand below him!
Li Yao's pupils constricted violently!
Damn it. Two Emperor Sand Scorpions, one male and one female, were traveling together!
Emperor Sand Scorpions were solitary demon beasts. Unless they were mating, they would never hunt together.
As it happened, he was unlucky enough to run into two Emperor Sand Scorpions in their mating season!
The female scorpion was smaller in size. But it was faster, and its venom was more lethal!
"Are you kidding me?"
"Did I use up all my luck in the fierce battle in space? Why are things like this happening all the time?"
The Emperor Sand Scorpion was slashing at his waist with its giant pincers. There was no time for him to change his direction. Li Yao could only roar and rush forward while waving the half bone dagger.
…
"Uncle, hang in there. Don't die!"
In a trance, Li Yao felt that he was a small boat in the middle of a surging tide.
The shell of the boat was broken. The kind that fills the cabin with water.
What had happened in the past few hours became mottled fragments. In the broken pictures, he broke half of the Emperor Sand Scorpion's pincer with brute force while covered in blood. Then, he gritted his teeth and resisted one of the scorpion's venomous stings. He pierced the iron pincers into the gap in its shell and finally killed the stinking bug.
He couldn't remember clearly what happened after that. He seemed to have been dragged by this young man of the Furious Bears Tribe all the way to a cave.
Wu Mayan also gathered a large number of plants, rubbed out their juices and applied them on his wounds. He also took out some fragrant medicine and poured it into his mouth.
The wound was still burning, red, swollen, and swollen. It was as if he had been crawled by a poisonous centipede.
Li Yao felt like laughing. He was at ease when he was faced with Fengyu Zhong, a Core Formation Stage Cultivator. He was in control of most of the situation.
Today, facing two little bugs, he was in such a sorry state.
"I've been poisoned.
"The stingers on the tail of the Emperor Sand Scorpion contain nerve poison. If it were a normal Cultivator, they would have to lie in bed for at least half a month.
"Even me. It will take me at least one day to repair it with all my spiritual energy. Only then will I be able to repair the neural network.
"But I'm lucky to have survived!
"What else do you want? Bring it on. I'm already so unlucky. How unlucky can I be?"
Li Yao thought to himself angrily, his face full of brutality.
But Wu Mayan, the young man of the Furious Bears Tribe, exclaimed in both surprise and delight, "Uncle, are you awake? Great! You must hang in there! I've sent out distress fireworks to my family. Somebody will come to rescue us very soon!
"My foster father is the chief of the Furious Bears Tribe and the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau, Xiong Wuji! My mother is the best doctor in the Furious Bears Tribe, too! You will certainly be cured after we return to Furious Bears City! "
Li Yao was immediately stunned.
"The — the chief of the Furious Bears Tribe and the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau?
"Are you kidding me?
"With such a strong background, he must be unbelievably strong. He must be much stronger than Yan Chihuo!
"Furious Bears City? Is it the enormous city of qi-trainers where smoke is rising all day long? "
Li Yao felt that his head was dizzy, and he almost fainted.
His original plan had been to wander around the villages and towns in the periphery of the desert and test the qi-trainers' reactions to him.
He was not prepared to deal with an opponent of the level of 'best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau'!
The best warrior! Even if he was not in the 100th level of the Refinement Stage, he should be at least in the 80th level, right? If he saw any flaws in his plan, he would be shocked to death with a single sneeze!
However, the venom inside his body had not been removed yet. His limbs were too weak to even run away.
Li Yao cursed Wu Mayan in his heart. Why did you come out to kill demon beasts in the middle of the night when you were in Furious Bears City for no reason at all?
With everything coming to this point, there was nothing he could do. He could only force himself to enter the deep sleep state and summon the primeval force deep inside his every cell to repair the damaged neural network.
Then, he woke up several times intermittently.
The first time, he was woken up by a series of noises that sounded like thunder.
It was as if ten thousand iron beasts had gathered in the desert for a concert.
Wu Mayan waved his hands and feet and shouted, "Father Xiong! Father Xiong! We are here! "
Li Yao sensed that a cluster of intimidating aura had squeezed into the cave.
The cave was not small, but this' Father Xiong 'seemed to be a giant whose head could support the sky. Li Yao felt great pressure when he was still almost ten meters away from him.
Li Yao's heart was palpitating. He was not ready to confront the 'best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau' yet. Therefore, he forced himself to enter the deep sleep state again to treat his wounds and avoid this' Father Xiong 'for now!
The second time, he was woken up by the shock.
At this time, they were already in the desert. They were on their way, accompanied by Morning Star.
Li Yao was riding on an enormous True Qi machine with six legs, which looked like a spider billions of times larger. The six long legs were all made of iron and embedded with coldly shining rivets.
The torso of the machine was made of two enormous, round cabins that could accommodate dozens of people. More than twenty turrets had been built on the two sides of the cabins, all of which were heavy True Qi cannons with a caliber more than half a meter.
Twenty brawny men with glossy muscles. They were standing on the two sides of the cabins in front of everybody. Each of them had a hollow iron tube that was full of holes.
On the two sides of the iron tube, there were two dents where their hands could be placed.
The iron tube extended all the way to the engine room at the back of the iron spider.
These burly men were like the crew of a dragon boat, under the explosive beating of a drummer at the front. They were roaring rhythmically. "Ha!"
Along with the roars, the spiritual gas inside their bodies surged out and was blown into the hollow iron tube through their hands!
The brawny men were all at least in the 10th level of the Refinement Stage!
The spiritual gas unleashed by the twenty qi-trainers was transmitted to the engine room at the back through the hollow iron tube. After a series of complicated distribution and amplification, it was transmitted to the six limbs of the spider. Driving the iron spider forward, its speed was no slower than that of the True Qi tank.
Occasionally, it could even jump high with the help of the jet mechanism. It covered a distance of hundreds of meters in a blink of an eye. Ditches, hills, and hills were all leaped over.
The True Qi machine was completely different from the crystal processor and crystal stone system that were popular in the Cultivation world. It was full of a sense of coarseness and barbarism. But it had a different kind of unyielding, unreasonable, and violent beauty.
Ten thousand years ago … At the end of the Great Dark Age, when human beings had just excavated the relics of the ancient Cultivation world, they were the first to produce such True Qi beasts. They waved their blades accelerated by True Qi to compete with demon beasts and made the civilization of mankind rise again!
He had thought that he could only see True Qi machines in museums. He didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to lie on one.
For a magical equipment fan, it was a pleasant surprise.
However, despite the high speed of the iron spider, it did not have the slightest buffer or deceleration device. Its suspension was as rigid as it could be. Every bump and vibration was fed back to Li Yao's bottom without any error. His bottom was almost blown apart by the vibration.
The qi-trainers on the iron spider, however, were like seasoned sailors who were used to the turbulence. Despite the intense bumps, they did not move at all, as if dozens of thick rivets had been nailed into the spider.
Li Yao felt that the world was swirling around him. Suddenly, he heard a vague argument in the front again.
One of the voices was high-pitched and seemed to belong to Wu Mayan. "I didn't sneak out! I went out to hunt demon beasts! I'm already in the 11th level of the Refinement Stage! I'm not a kid, and I'm not a coward from the stars! I'm going to prove to everybody that I am an out-and-out warrior of Iron Plateau! I'm going to take part in the battle of the apocalypse! I'm going to resist the apocalypse with Father Xiong! "
Then, it was another deep, hoarse voice that sounded like the roar of a bear. "You are not a kid, and yet you've caused other people to be heavily wounded!"
Wu Mayan was immediately rendered speechless. After a long silence, he asked, somewhat unconfidently, "Father Xiong, is the uncle alright? He is quite awesome. He is only in the 13th or 14th level of the Refinement Stage, but he killed two Emperor Sand Scorpions bare-handed with only half a bone! "
'Father Xiong 'replied, "He was heavily wounded, and he was poisoned by the scorpions. Normal people would've died a long time ago if they were in his shoes. However, he is very strong. Very strong. His body is slowly recovering! You can tell from the interconnecting old scars on his body that he will not die so easily! "
Li Yao was secretly relieved. It sounded that the enemy had not found any loopholes or was hostile to him yet.
At least, not for now.
He fell into a deep sleep again and focused on his recovery.
When he woke up for the third time, they had arrived at the foot of a magnificent city.
The entire city was surrounded by walls that were dozens of meters high. The walls made of bluestones extended all the way into the thick fog. Li Yao couldn't tell how long the walls were at all. By his rough estimation, one side of the walls was at least dozens of kilometers long.
Illuminated by the morning sun, the walls of the city were emitting metallic colors. An enormous defense rune array had been established every ten meters. Countless damages and cracks could still be seen on the rune arrays, which had been repaired and then broken again, as if they had been through countless gory sieges.
When Li Yao drew closer, he discovered that there were a lot of crooked words in the middle of the interconnecting damages, which seemed to have been carved by someone with a sword. Every word was more than one meter in diameter, and the handwriting was different in depth. Some of the words had been corroded by the wind and rain and were mottled, indicating that they had been carved hundreds of years ago.
Li Yao glanced at it and memorized the two lines of intimidating words on it.
The first one read:
"Break into the 100th level of the Refinement Stage if you are a man! To hell with your foundation! To hell with your core! To hell with your ghost baby! "
The second one was so ancient that it had been corroded by the passage of time into two vague white marks.
"Even if we cannot defend the civilization of mankind..."
