Other than sandstorms, the sand scorpions were one of the scariest killers in the Desert. Large-scale groups of sand scorpions often covered a radius of several kilometers, and they moved very fast. Encountering a group of sand scorpions would mean certain death. These sand scorpions were about the size of a fist, and had a venomous stinger on their tails. Just a little bit of it was enough to kill a person. Their tails could also spit out corrosive venom.
They would always appear in groups of tens of thousands, and could move much faster than a normal person could run. Therefore, if the archers encountered a group of Sand Scorpions, they would die. There were so many Sand Scorpions that they did not know where to start.
Xuan Ning pulled a long face. "We're lucky this time. We'll either be fine, or we'll encounter these big guys. "
Sha Ya was even more decisive. She turned to Ye Chong and said, "Let's run."
Every profession had its advantages and disadvantages, which could be seen from this point. If a close range fighter like Ye Chong encountered a group of sand scorpions, he would at least be able to run away. Grandmasters of Combat with slightly better stamina could even run at high speed for a few days and nights. However, if shooters encountered the scorpions, there was nothing they could do. Their frail bodies would not allow them to run far before the scorpions caught up to them, and they would eventually die. Besides, the sand scorpions had a special trait. Once they found their prey, they would pursue them relentlessly. It was a headache.
Even a Level 9 shooter like Xuan Ning was helpless against these sand scorpions. He could not kill them all.
The Spider was not fast, but it was still much faster than the sand scorpions. However, this would greatly affect their journey. These disgusting insects were notorious for their persistence.
Ye Chong did not escape with the Spider. Instead, he stood up and went back into the storage room.
The sand scorpions had obviously noticed the huge spider. In their eyes, the huge spider was undoubtedly a good prey for them to have a full meal. They immediately swarmed towards the Spider like a tidal wave. It was a terrifying scene. Xuan Ning and Sha Ya could tell from their expressions. Both of their faces had already turned extremely ugly.
"Do you want to test the anti-corrosive properties of this big guy?" Xuan Ning groaned bitterly.
Sha Ya's hand was already reaching for the laser gun, as if it could bring her a sense of security. She looked nervous and stared at the approaching Sand Scorpion on the screen.
Unfortunately, the two of them did not know how to drive the Spider. Otherwise, they would have long escaped with the Spider.
Both of them could not figure out what Ye Chong was up to. Knowing Ye Chong, he was not one to wait for his death. But they really couldn't think of anything else to do under such circumstances other than escape.
Ye Chong disappeared into the storage room. There was no sound at all.
Ten minutes later.
Ye Chong came out of the storage room with two transparent reagent tubes as thick as his thumb. One tube was filled with a pure green reagent, while the other was filled with a pale yellow liquid. The translucent reagent tube and the liquid without any impurities made the two reagent tubes look like emerald and topaz, emitting a mesmerizing luster under the light.
Xuan Ning seemed to have forgotten about the danger. He opened his eyes wide in curiosity and asked, "What are these?" Sha Ya looked at the two beautiful reagent tubes with a hint of fondness. Women seemed to be born with a strong desire for beautiful, glowing objects like these.
"Shavill root juice and Huangda extract." Ye Chong's two technical names confused Xuan Ning and Sha Ya, but he did not explain further.
Ye Chong looked at the screen. It had only been a short while since he entered the storage room, but the Sand Scorpions were already very close to them.
At most 500 meters. This distance was a test of one's willpower. When Xuan Ning came back to his senses and looked at the screen again, he screamed in fright, "Run! Run!"
Ye Chong was caught off guard by the bewitching sound that penetrated his brain. She had never heard of a Level 9 shooter making such a fuss. Sha Ya could not help but roll her eyes. She felt her cheeks burning. Heavens, to think that Eastern Cloud's most powerful shooter would behave like this? Worse still, his name alone was enough to intimidate the unruly shooters! As someone in the same profession, Sha Ya felt that she had reason to blush.
Smack! A hand struck the back of Xuan Ning's head. Xuan Ning's eyes rolled back into his head, and the screams stopped. He had fainted.
Sha Ya's jaw dropped as she looked at Ye Chong in shock. Who – who would treat a Level 9 shooter like this? She could feel her brain short-circuiting.
"He's too noisy," Ye Chong explained calmly.
Sha Ya looked at Xuan Ning sympathetically, but the words that came out of her mouth were, "How long will it take for him to wake up? Should we give him some sleeping pills? That's safer. "
Ye Chong held the two reagent tubes in his left hand, while his right hand quickly keyed in commands on the control panel.
The big spider quickly moved and nimbly retreated. The loose sand did not affect it at all, and the distance between them widened. However, the Sand Scorpions were too large. It would not be easy to shake them off.
Sha Ya did not understand. If he was going to escape, why did he not do so earlier? Wasn't it too late now? Besides, what were the two reagent tubes in Ye Chong's hands for?
Just as Sha Ya was wondering, Ye Chong suddenly opened the launch tube. A conical shell with four wings slid out.
Sha Ya had never seen a shell before. Here, the fighter aircrafts used photon weapons. Photon weapons were powerful, and only required energy crystals. This was the first time she had seen a real shell like this.
However, it was normal for Ye Chong to have something strange in his hands, especially weapons. After all, he was a Master Weaponsmith.
Ye Chong put down the two reagent tubes in his left hand. He controlled the Spider with his right hand, and picked up the shell with his left. Ye Chong had done a lot of preparation for his trip to Darkniss. He knew the pros and cons of energy shells. They were not widely used, and some creatures had shells that were highly resistant to energy based weapons. Other weapons, such as corrosive shells and high explosive shells, were very useful. Ye Chong had always been fond of support grenades, and he was very experienced in using them.
Therefore, Ye Chong had prepared a large number of support shells. Now, he had a high explosive shell in his hand, with a miniature engine installed at the top. Ye Chong did not use any tools. He controlled the Spider with one hand, while his left hand deftly dismantled the base of the high explosive shell.
Sha Ya's eyes widened. She had never thought that a human could have such dexterous hands!
Besides, she was curious about what Ye Chong was up to.
Ye Chong took out the explosive core of the high explosive shell and inserted the green and yellow reagent tubes into the shell. Then he carefully installed the base. In the process of installing the two test tubes, Ye Chong's expression was focused and his movements were careful. Ye Chong even retracted his right hand from the control panel.
This was the most careful Sha Ya had ever seen Ye Chong. Sha Ya was affected. She held her breath, not daring to breathe.
Ye Chong held the shell gently, as if it was a treasure that could easily be broken. His wrist moved gently, and the shell slid into the launch tube.
Ye Chong only relaxed when the launch tube was closed. Sha Ya could hear Ye Chong exhaling. Upon closer inspection, Ye Chong's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Sha Ya was shocked. She knew what kind of person Ye Chong was. He was an expert who could face off against a Level 8 shooter, and yet he was so nervous and cautious about these two reagent tubes. What could these two beautiful and transparent reagents be used for?
Ye Chong did not bother wiping his sweat. His hands flew across the control panel.
"Target selected!" A red cross appeared on the screen. Ye Chong aimed the red cross at the center of the sand scorpions.
"Target locked."
Then, Sha Ya heard a low hum coming from the launch tunnel that Ye Chong had opened earlier. She noticed that Ye Chong was staring at the screen, and quickly looked to the screen as well.
Just at the position of the crosshairs of the Red Cross, there was an almost undetectable flash of light. Sha Ya squinted her eyes and accurately captured this tiny light.
This must be the strange looking "weapon" that Ye Chong had placed in there earlier. Sha Ya stared at the screen without blinking, her face full of anticipation.
Suddenly, without warning, a thick yellowish-green mist appeared in the middle of the sand scorpions.
The thick yellowish-green mist spread out at an alarming rate. Even Sha Ya was shocked by it.
As soon as the yellow mist appeared, Ye Chong controlled the Spider to run back at full speed. He looked like a spider that had been bitten in the buttocks. He hurriedly leaped forward.
In the blink of an eye, the yellowish-green mist had become a dense fog that enveloped the entire sand scorpion colony. The Spider could not outrun the spreading mist. Ye Chong made up his mind and keyed in the command he had prepared earlier.
"Close all air vents, activate the oxygen supply system in the cabin, and adjust the pressure."
The Spider stayed where it was, allowing the thick yellowish-green mist to consume it. However, the images sent back from the sky by the hummingbirds clearly showed a soul-stirring scene.
The yellowish-green fog was like a monster, rolling and rolling like a galloping horse, as fast as lightning, spreading along the ground at a high speed.
Be it the Spider or the sand scorpions, they were all shrouded in the thick mist. Looking down from the sky, it was impossible to see them.
Sha Ya looked at the screen, confused, but also somewhat understanding.
She took a look at Ye Chong. Ye Chong's expression was serious. He stared at the screen without saying a word.
Gradually, the mist seemed to be thinning. Just then, the unconscious Xuan Ning slowly woke up. He held his neck and moaned, "Ouch, why is it so sour here? Huh, why is it foggy? " Xuan Ning was shocked by the scene before him. He sat up straight and said, "Impossible, the Desert never fogs. Why is there fog? And why is it yellowish-green? "
He suddenly turned around and asked in surprise, "Who farted?" Ye Chong and Sha Ya ignored him, and he was embarrassed.
The mist began to dissipate. Ye Chong looked at the time, and was satisfied. It was about the same time as he had expected.
This fog was strange. It came quickly and disappeared just as quickly. It faded at a speed visible to the naked eye and finally disappeared.
"Wah!" Sha Ya looked horrified. She could not hold it in any longer. She bent over and vomited.
Xuan Ning looked pale. His face twitched as he watched the scene on the screen. He muttered, "How, how is this possible …"
On the big screen, all that was left was an area of blood and flesh about five kilometers in circumference. There was not a single living thing in this area. There was only wet, muddy blood on the surface of the sand. They were quickly attracted by the dry sand and formed a layer of maroon crust on the ground. The dark red area was only left with millions of sand scorpion shells. These sand scorpion shells were not complete. Some of them only had the hardest part of the sand scorpion, their stingers!
Sha Ya vomited violently. She had been in many battles, but she had never seen or even heard of anything like this. She almost vomited her bile. The cockpit was filled with an unpleasant smell.
However, Ye Chong did not move, as if he felt nothing. With a wave of his hand, the air in the warehouse was instantly cleared, and the vomit was also cleaned up by the automatic cleaner.
Sha Ya straightened up. Her face was pale as she looked at Ye Chong in fear.
Sha Ya was terrified. She felt that this man was like the devil from the legends! No, he was scarier than the devil! If this terrifying "weapon" was used on humans, the consequences … Sha Ya shuddered. She now understood why Ye Chong was not afraid of anything. Even a Level 9 shooter would be no match for him.
It was terrifying!
Xuan Ning was strangely silent this time. He didn't say a word, but the intense turmoil in the depths of his heart could be seen from his narrowed eyes!
If this weapon was used in Su City …
Xuan Ning's eyes flashed with killing intent.
Ye Chong ignored their shock. To him, this was not as spectacular as when he used Green Tempest. However, he did not have the materials to make Green Tempest. Besides, Green Tempest had high requirements for wind power and water vapor. This place was not suitable. Therefore, he used Shavill's root juice and yellow dahlia's extract. The mixture of these two liquids would produce a violent reaction, producing a yellow-green gas that was highly toxic and corrosive. It was called Kermierke, meaning melting.
However, even Ye Chong did not dare to use it carelessly, because both the Shavail root juice and Huang Da extract were highly unstable and dangerous.
Fortunately, it was effective. For someone like Ye Chong, who only cared about results, he did not care whether the scene was ugly or not.
