Whoosh! Whoosh!
A few figures moved as fast as lightning, appearing on a cliff in the Demon Wolf Canyon almost as soon as Wutian and the other two disappeared. They looked at the scene in front of them with shock.
"What the hell is going on here?! How strong must the battle be to create such a scene? Did the Ancient Heavenly Scorpion really revive? "Elder Wu said in shock.
Huo Shi looked around and said in a low voice, "Looks like we're late and missed a good show."
"I'm afraid it's not a good show, but a thrilling battle. It's hard to imagine what it is. Who's fighting with the Ancient Heavenly Scorpion? "Liu Yan's eyebrow tightened.
"No matter who it is, it has nothing to do with us. The most important thing now is to complete the mission father gave us." Huo Shi turned to look at the big man and said, "The plan can start now. Junior Sister Liu and I will go to the Zhao Family. You go and inform everyone. Don't let anyone who enters the Scorpion Ridge go."
"Yes." Elder Wu hesitated for a moment, but nodded. After a few leaps, they disappeared into the mountains.
"Senior Brother, do we really have to be so ruthless? If the news of our Fire Cloud Sect cultivating the Devouring Spirit Demonic Book is leaked, it might attract the attention of all the orthodox sects in the Red Sun Mountain Range. "Liu Yan said worriedly.
Huo Shi sneered, "The so-called 'orthodox' is just a facade. Who isn't a hypocrite in the dark? Even if they find out, what can they do? The Fire Cloud Sect's current strength is enough to destroy any sect in the Red Sun Mountain Range. The Yan Sect is no exception. "
"Let's go. It's time to act." After Huo Shi finished speaking, he looked deeply at the lava lake below and turned to leave.
Liu Yan felt complicated. Her Senior Brother's personality was getting darker and darker, and his methods were getting crueler. She didn't know if it was right or wrong, but she would always support and help him because he was the person she loved the most.
She sighed and followed him like a white butterfly.
At this moment, the sky was starting to brighten, and the cold air of the night was gradually dispersing.
On the other side of the Demon Wolf Canyon, there was an endless swamp. Shrubs grew everywhere, and poisonous insects hid in the mist. Looking around, one could only see things within a hundred feet.
Swamps were generally the most dangerous places in the mountain range. There were many poisonous beasts hiding in the swamps and mist. It was very difficult to guard against them. On the Samsara Continent, countless people and beasts died tragically in the swamps every day.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, people would take a detour when they encountered a swamp. At this moment, there were three people who had entered this swamp of their own accord.
"Aiya, how are we going to get there without a solid piece of dirt?" The one who spoke was a purple-clothed youth. He looked at a mound of dirt in the distance and complained.
The mound was more than a hundred zhang in size. The vegetation was lush, and there were many black rocks protruding from it, indicating that it was possible to stand here. On all sides of the mound, there was a swamp. The mud was pitch black, bubbling, and stinking.
"Brother Wu, this place stinks to the heavens. There's no way to concentrate on refining the divine liquid. Moreover, there are swamps everywhere. No one knows if there are any ferocious beasts inside. Based on our current physical condition, I'm afraid that even demonic beasts at the Initial Completion Stage can kill us here. I think we'd better change to another place! "
It was Wutian and the other two. They stood on the bank of the swamp and scanned the surroundings. The dustpan-sized egg next to them was shining, and the Profound Qi was rolling out, dispelling the surrounding miasma.
"This is the place. No need to change." Wutian said. This place was full of miasma. It was a good place to hide. No one would find them here.
When he left the Demon Wolf Canyon, he saw several figures rushing over. It meant that the previous fluctuations had alerted the people outside. Those people might be just the first wave. Maybe more people were coming.
The giant egg was shining brightly. At first glance, one could tell that it was not an ordinary object. If it was discovered, it would arouse the jealousy of countless people. At that time, there would be endless competition and killing. Therefore, it was better to find a hidden place and refine it before leaving.
This place was undoubtedly the best choice. The mound of dirt was located in the center of the swamp. It was surrounded by mist, so it was difficult to be discovered.
"Gugu!" The little guy nodded in agreement. It looked at the giant egg and drooled. It couldn't wait to eat it.
Han Tian said doubtfully, "But how are we going to get there? We can't swim in the swamp. I don't have that ability."
The little guy stepped forward and patted his chest. It meant, 'I have a way. Watch me.'
It lifted a huge rock from not far away. It was about twenty to thirty thousand pounds and threw it out. With a "boom" sound, mud splashed out and a foul smell rushed over.
"Roar!"
Immediately after, a roar sounded. A jet-black vicious beast rushed out from the mud. It was as big as a small mountain. Its two bucket-sized eyes were flickering with ominous light.
The upper body of this creature was round, like a huge meatball. It was slippery and there were dozens of tentacles on its lower body. Some were thick, some were thin, some were long, some were short. They were like vigorous vines, but also like giant snakes, twisting and turning.
This was the Sludge Beast. It lived in the swamp all year round. Its whole body was as black as ink, and its stench was pungent. It was extremely disgusting, but it could spit out pitch-black liquid that had corrosive properties.
The Sludge Beast was furious. Its dozens of tentacles swayed wildly. The swamp boiled, and mud rose several feet high.
During this period of time, there were fewer and fewer prey, and it was already annoyed. It was even considering whether or not to move to another place. Unexpectedly, a huge rock fell down and hit its head.
"Roar!"
However, when it saw two humans standing on the shore, it couldn't help but shout excitedly. Food, food finally appeared. Now it didn't need to move.
"Shua!"
Several tentacles broke through the air. They were all as thick as buckets. It used its thickest tentacles. It seemed that it was really hungry and wanted to get it in one fell swoop.
The little guy croaked and didn't dodge. It grabbed the tentacle and swung it up. With a miserable cry, the Sludge Beast was smashed into the swamp. Mud splashed everywhere!
Its little mouth cracked open. It exerted force with its claws and swung it again. The Sludge Beast howled in grief. It rushed into the sky and then fell rapidly.
Although the little guy was injured, it had swallowed the overflowing divine liquid along the way. Its injuries had recovered quite a bit. It was more than enough to deal with the Sludge Beast.
"Hong!!!" The hill-sized Sludge Beast weighed at least several tens of thousands of jin, but it was swung around by the little guy like it was throwing a rubber ball.
"Wuwu!"
The Sludge Beast whimpered and began to beg for mercy. It was extremely uncomfortable. It originally thought that food had delivered itself to its door, but it didn't expect it to be a desolate little vicious beast. No, it was even more terrifying than a desolate little vicious beast. It couldn't retaliate in the slightest.
The little guy stopped and cried out a few times. The Sludge Beast nodded repeatedly like an obedient little kitten.
It didn't dare to disobey because the little vicious beast was baring its teeth. Although it was smelly, its meat was still quite fat. In order to not be eaten, it was better to obediently obey.
"Hua hua!"
It swam to the shore and looked at the few of them. Bean-sized tears flowed like a little wife who had been wronged. This made Wutian and Han Tianyi have goosebumps all over. They couldn't help but shiver.
Wutian took out half of the Fire Demon Scorpion's flesh and placed it in front of it. "As long as you're obedient and bring us over safely, this is all yours."
After all, they were in the swamp and had no place to stand. If the Sludge Beast turned hostile halfway, they would be finished. Thus, Wutian had to be careful.
"Roar roar!"
The Sludge Beast's big head was like a mash of garlic. It nodded repeatedly, its eyes shining. The flesh of an ancient species was extremely tempting to a monster. If it swallowed enough, it might be able to break through its shackles and return to its ancestral state.
Han Tian gave a thumbs up. He was also very worried that the Sludge Beast would betray them. Fortunately, Wutian had thought of this and was finally relieved.
The three of them carried the giant egg and walked up to the Sludge Beast's head. It was very soft, and the only downside was that it was too smelly. Even if they pinched their noses, they could still smell a nauseating stench.
"Bang!" The giant egg was too heavy. The Sludge Beast's huge body shook and almost sank into the mud. The three of them were drenched in cold sweat, afraid that they would be contaminated by the mud.
The Sludge Beast was bewildered. It felt a strange energy enter its body from the top of its head. Its essence, energy, and spirit were incomparably comfortable, and the hidden injuries from its past battles were instantly healed. Its realm that had been stagnant for a long time also showed a trace of loosening.
Its eyes flickered as if it was calculating something, but in the end, it chose to give up and obediently swam towards the mound.
Along the way, there was no lack of vicious beasts blocking their path. They were ugly and disgusting, but they were all dealt with by Little Tian.
The Sludge Beast was the most excited. These vicious beasts were the same as it, each occupying an area and not interfering with each other. Now that they were all dead, it would be the only one left here. It wouldn't have to worry about food anymore.
Fifteen minutes later, they finally arrived at the mound. Wutian used the claws of a Fire Demon Scorpion to send the Sludge Beast away.
At first, it was unwilling. Didn't he say he would give it all to it? Why was there only one leg? But after receiving Wutian's promise that he would give it all to it the next time he sent them out, it excitedly nodded its head and happily sank into the mud.
"Eh, there's another stone stele?"
The three of them carried the giant egg to the highest point of the mound. They saw a stone stele standing there. It was almost exactly the same size and shape as the Soul Suppressing Stele. There were three large words carved on it: Soul Suppressing Stele.
Rather than calling this a mound, it was better to call this a small island. It was over a thousand feet wide, with rugged rocks and lush vegetation. There were countless flying insects and poisonous beasts that were as large as a fist and as small as a grain of rice. But within a hundred feet of the stone stele, not a single poisonous insect approached. There wasn't even a single blade of grass. It was completely barren and deathly silent.
"Could it be like the Soul Suppressing Stele, suppressing the Desolate Ancient Heavenly Scorpion?"
Having learned their lesson, the two of them didn't touch it. They only frowned and looked at it.
Wutian guessed, "The Soul Suppressing Stele suppresses the three souls of the Desolate Heavenly Scorpion, so the Soul Suppressing Stele should be suppressing the seven souls of the Heavenly Scorpion. The Heavenly Scorpion Ridge might have a few more Soul Suppressing Steles scattered everywhere, suppressing the Heavenly Scorpion together."
"Maybe the Heavenly Scorpion Ridge really was transformed from the Desolate Heavenly Scorpion. If that's true, then it's too unbelievable. Sigh, this thing isn't something we can come into contact with right now. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's hurry up and refine the divine liquid. "Han Tian shook his head and pounced towards the giant egg.
"Little thing, don't eat it all by yourself. Leave some for me."
The little guy had already started eating. He peeled off a few pieces of the eggshell. The five-colored divine liquid surged with auspicious light. Its divinity was astonishing. The other creatures on the island looked over with shock.
