Deep in the mountains, next to a small stream.
Zhong Shan was currently rubbing something on Tian Ling 'er's face.
"Zhong Shan, will this work?" Tian Ling 'er was sitting on a large rock, allowing Zhong Shan to rub something wet on her face.
As Zhong Shan rubbed it on, he said, "Yes, it's better to rub it on. This is the last rub. You're not allowed to touch your face with your hands for an hour. Wait for the glue to dry."
"Okay." Tian Ling 'er nodded in confusion. Her eyes were wide open. She didn't know what Zhong Shan was rubbing on her face.
"It's done." Zhong Shan nodded in satisfaction.
"It's done?" Tian Ling 'er excitedly said and immediately ran to the stream to shine the light on her face.
Seeing the reflection in the water, Tian Ling 'er's expression greatly changed.
"Ahhh!"
Tian Ling 'er screamed in horror. Her voice seemed to penetrate the clouds and reach the horizon. Zhong Shan, who was beside her, revealed a satisfied smile.
After a scream, Tian Ling 'er was about to wipe her face with her hands.
"Don't move!" Zhong Shan immediately called out.
"No, it's so ugly. Why did you make me so ugly?" Tian Ling 'er immediately cried out.
Grabbing Tian Ling 'er's wrist, Zhong Shan sighed and said, "Who told you to be so beautiful? If you meet another expert like Miaoxian, you won't have the luck to save yourself a second time. "
Tian Ling 'er originally wanted to struggle, but when Zhong Shan said that she was beautiful, her body immediately tensed up. It was as if she cared a lot about Zhong Shan's evaluation.
"Is that so?" After calming down, Tian Ling 'er asked with uncertainty. However, her face was slightly red.
"Of course. Do you want to meet another Miaoxian?" Zhong Shan let go of Tian Ling 'er's wrist.
When Zhong Shan let go, Ling'er felt a slight sense of loss.
"I don't want it." Tian Ling 'er shook her head.
"That's it then. In my heart, Ling 'er is still so beautiful. This ugly appearance is just for outsiders to see." Zhong Shan continued to comfort her.
"Okay." Tian Ling'er nodded. He no longer struggled on the surface.
Three days later, Zhong Shan and Tian Ling 'er, who had disguised herself as an ugly woman, appeared at the top of a canyon.
The canyon below was covered by a large amount of white fog, making it impossible to see the bottom.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Zhong Shan asked as he looked down at the valley.
"Of course, there are still two of my footprints on that rock." Tian Ling 'er pointed at a large rock at the side.
Walking closer, sure enough, there were footprints on the big rock. God, Ling'er didn't lie.
"Come, let's go down." After receiving confirmation, Zhong Shan nodded and led Tian Ling 'er down the slope into the canyon.
The mountain path was relatively steep, but Zhong Shan soon landed in the valley because he was prepared.
In the valley, it was slightly dark, but there were two strange light sources.
At the bottom of the southern and northern mountain walls, there was a two meter wide hemispherical object that emitted a blue light. It looked like a big lid.
The material of the lid seemed to be a transparent membrane that covered the unknown object inside. It looked like a giant egg, with more than half of it inside the mountain walls, and only a small part of it was exposed.
However, on the outside of the two giant eggs, there was a strange flower.
The flower was very strange. It was the size of a washbasin, and only had two emerald-like leaves. At the roots, there were four roots that were inserted into the giant egg, as if they were absorbing nutrients from the inside of the egg.
In the center of the flower, at the stamen, there were arcs of electricity that were faintly discernible. It looked very strange.
Lightning Flower?
There was no need for Tian Ling 'er to say anything. Zhong Shan had already guessed the name of this flower. But what was that giant egg? Although Zhong Shan didn't know what that egg was, he could see that it definitely contained a large amount of lightning energy. That was because the lightning at the stamen of the lightning flower wouldn't appear out of thin air. It was definitely absorbing the energy inside the egg.
"The last time we came, it didn't bloom. Now that it's bloomed, we can pick it." Tian Ling 'er excitedly said and was about to leap over.
"Wait!" Zhong Shan pulled Tian Ling 'er back.
Frowning, Zhong Shan looked around at the strange environment.
Ruins, a large amount of ruins. The mountain rocks were shattered, and the valley below was filled with broken rocks. It was as if some peerless expert had fought here. However, there wasn't the slightest crack on the surrounding mountain walls. It was unusual.
"What's wrong?" Tian Ling 'er was puzzled.
"Was it also like this last time? Is there anything else in the valley? "Zhong Shan asked out of curiosity.
"No, it's the same as last time. There's nothing else," said Tian Ling 'er.
But Zhong Shan still wasn't sure. He flipped his hand and picked up a small stone beside him and threw it in the direction of the lightning flower.
"Pa", the stone suddenly shattered.
Zhong Shan saw a whip suddenly lashing out from the ruins. The tip of the whip instantly shattered the stone.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Shan's pupils shrank. What was that?
As if to solve the doubts in Zhong Shan's heart, after the stone was smashed into pieces, the ruins below suddenly started to tremble.
Rumble …
The ground constantly shook. Zhong Shan quickly retreated, while Tian Ling 'er stepped on her red silk and soared into the sky. She looked at the large amount of ruins with a guarded expression.
"Hualala …"
One after another, crustacean-like creatures slowly crawled out of the ruins.
Scorpions, a large number of poisonous scorpions. The scorpions were all pitch-black. Not counting their tails, the longest scorpion was one meter long, while the tail was ten meters long. With so many scorpions crawling out of the ruins, it seemed like they were very resistant to outsiders.
The stone just now wasn't destroyed by the whip, but by the scorpion's stinger.
Were these scorpions protecting the lightning flower?
Looking at the scarlet scorpion tails, Zhong Shan's heart was filled with amazement.
"Why are there so many scorpions? There weren't any last time, "Tian Ling 'er anxiously cried out in the air.
This was because the long scorpion tails were interfering, causing the lightning flower's surroundings to be airtight.
"That's because of Sect Master's aura. When Sect Master released his aura, all the scorpions were suppressed. The scorpions couldn't move at all. They simply didn't dare to come out." Zhong Shan took out his broadsword and carefully observed the scorpions.
The ruins were caused by these scorpions? Were they the ones who dug the hole and created this pile of ruins?
Bang!
A scorpion tail stretched out in front of Zhong Shan. The scarlet stinger looked like it was going to stab Zhong Shan to death with one stab. He waved his broadsword and slashed at the stinger.
Clang ~ ~ ~
Zhong Shan swung his saber with all his might, chopping off a scorpion's tail. Then, he followed the momentum and chopped down on the scorpion's head. Following a loud sound, the saber bounced back under the huge force.
What a sturdy scorpion shell.
Although he sighed in his heart, Zhong Shan didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest, because a few more scorpions pounced at him.
Zhong Shan waved his broadsword upwards. Tian Ling 'er was in mid-air, also directing Hong Ling to help Zhong Shan.
Zhong Shan and Tian Ling 'er were entangled with the giant scorpions. Above the two of them, at the entrance of the canyon, another group of people welcomed them.
It was Mr. Shi and his group who had entered the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation not long ago to search for the Nine Dragons Square Sky Jade.
"Your Majesty, this is the place. There are two Thunder Flowers in the canyon. They should have matured by now. We can bring them back for the Crown Prince to refine into the Upgrade Pill," a man in armor said respectfully.
"Lei Ting, you've spoiled the Crown Prince so much. He's closer to you now than he is to me," the Emperor said with a slight smile.
"Your Majesty, you're too serious. The Crown Prince calls me uncle. Naturally, I have to think more about him," the armored man said with a complacent look on his face.
"Haha, good. We're family. Let's go and get the Thunder Flowers," the Emperor said with a smile. There was a hint of winning over Lei Ting in his tone.
"Okay," Lei Ting said, slightly touched.
Mr. Shi stood behind and watched without saying anything. After the Emperor made the arrangements, the group of people flew towards the canyon together.
