After arriving at the White Cloud Mountain encampment, the person-in-charge led An Tianzuo, An Sheng, and Zhou Wen to White Cloud Mountain. As An Tianzuo didn't have much time to stay here, he had to rush back regardless of whether he could kill the Mythical creature today.
Zhou Wen looked at White Cloud Mountain from afar and saw clouds swirling around it. The mountain was faintly discernible. Indeed, it was like a mythical immortal mountain.
There were many red birch forests. The place where the Mythical creature was was at the foot of White Cloud Mountain. There was no need to climb the mountain.
However, that was also within the range of White Cloud Mountain. There was a certain chance of seeing the phenomenon of an immortal palace appear in the clouds.
"If we continue forward, we might encounter an immortal palace illusion. Wear this." An Sheng handed a balaclava-like item to Zhou Wen.
The helmet was made of chemical fibers mixed with metal wires. It didn't affect one's breathing after wearing it, but one's vision was blocked. It was impossible to see anything outside.
"No matter what you hear or what happens, don't take off the balaclava." After An Sheng exhorted Zhou Wen, he put on the balaclava himself.
An Tianzuo and the other officers who had come from the encampment also wore balaclavas. They had their own methods. Some relied on special Companion Beasts for vision, while others relied on hearing. Some rode their mounts and let them replace their eyes.
An Sheng summoned a strange Companion Beast. The Companion Beast was like a huge eyeball with wings. The huge eyeball flew beside An Sheng, and An Sheng seemed to be able to see his surroundings through it. It was no different from normal.
An Tianzuo didn't summon his Companion Beast, nor did he know when he used it. However, the balaclava didn't seem to affect his vision as he continued moving freely.
Zhou Wen had Truth Listener, so he wasn't affected.
Under the lead of an officer riding a Companion Beast, the group headed deep into the red birch forest.
White Cloud Mountain was mysterious and unfathomable, but there weren't many dimensional creatures here. However, every dimensional creature that appeared here was extremely terrifying. They were at least Epic creatures.
It was said that the red birch forest was very beautiful, but he could only hear it. He couldn't see the colors, so he didn't find it beautiful.
"Overseer, the Earth Listener Beast has reacted. Love Letter should be not far ahead," an officer riding a Companion Beast suddenly said.
"Prepare for battle," An Tianzuo ordered.
Apart from Zhou Wen, everyone began to prepare for battle. After advancing for a short while, Zhou Wen heard that a dimensional creature had appeared ahead.
The dimensional creature looked very strange. It looked like a large scorpion, but it had transparent wings on its back. It was huge and longer than an adult.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wen could only hear it and couldn't see its color. Otherwise, he would have discovered many strange things.
The large scorpion was as white as jade, but there were many blood-colored patterns on its body. If one looked closely, they would see that those blood-colored patterns were strange characters and symbols.
When Zhou Wen and company discovered the strange scorpion, it had already discovered them. It curled its tail and the stinger on its tail immediately emitted a blood-colored glow, condensing a strange blood-colored incantation pattern. The incantation pattern was completely condensed from light and looked very magical.
Zhou Wen had heard from An Sheng that this fellow could produce many kinds of text-like abilities. This was likely one of them, but Zhou Wen didn't know which one it was.
While Zhou Wen was pondering over it, An Sheng and company had already begun preparing for battle. However, to Zhou Wen's surprise, the blood runes on the scorpion's tail didn't shoot at Zhou Wen and company. Instead, its tail stabbed into the ground and the blood runes fused into the ground, vanishing instantly.
In an instant, Zhou Wen saw the ground around him suffuse a blood-colored glow. The soil seemed to be penetrated by the sanguine light as it emitted a glowing red glow.
The red lights varied in strength, making Zhou Wen think that he was in a huge light array.
The officers were clearly prepared. The Companion Beast beneath an officer suddenly raised its hooves and condensed a holy white light before stepping on the ground. The holy light immediately spread out across the ground, concealing the red light below, allowing the small area where Zhou Wen and company were standing to remain unaffected by the red light.
As for the large area affected by the red light, a strange phenomenon happened. It was as though everything had slowed down. The wind blew through the red birch forest, and the rustling forest seemed to be playing in slow motion. As the leaves swayed, it became extremely slow.
"This is its Slow text. If we don't have the corresponding power to restrain it, our speed will drop drastically. When the time comes, it will be impossible to dodge its attack, much less kill it. We will be killed directly," An Sheng said.
As though realizing that the Slow text was useless against them, the blood-colored patterns on the scorpion-like Mythical creature's back flickered, transforming into blood-colored text that rushed out. The blood-colored text wasn't aimed at Zhou Wen and company, but at a red birch tree.
When the blood-colored text hit the red birch tree, it vanished in a flash as though it had drilled into the red birch tree. In the next second, the red birch tree rapidly withered. In the blink of an eye, it turned into withered wood. As for the blood-colored text, it flew out of the withered wood again. However, this time, the blood-colored text had clearly changed. Its shape had changed, and the sanguine light had become stronger.
The blood-colored text floated above the scorpion, emitting a red light. Wherever the red light shone, all the red birch trees seemed to come alive. Their roots tore out of the ground as their branches swayed. They swept towards Zhou Wen and company as though they had become tree demons.
An icy light shimmered on the back of an officer as an ice fox-like Life Soul appeared. The icy light on the Life Soul's body erupted, freezing the nearby demonized red birch trees.
An Sheng didn't have the time to explain to Zhou Wen. The scorpion's body emitted a sanguine glow as red text flew out from its body. They transformed into blood-colored beams that attacked Zhou Wen and company.
An Sheng and a few officers resisted the blood-colored beams together. An Tianzuo watched from the side without any intention of taking action.
Zhou Wen could roughly tell that the scorpion's strength was about the same as an unenhanced Six-Winged, but its abilities were rather strange.
The blood-colored text it produced had many functions. Apart from the few he had seen previously, it could also transform into wind, fire, lightning, and other powers.
If one encountered it for the first time, or if they weren't strong enough, they would easily be killed by it.
However, An Sheng and company had studied it for several years and had already thought of ways to restrain its various powers. No matter how it changed its skills, they could barely resolve it.
However, they could only resolve it. Up to now, Zhou Wen hadn't figured out how they could kill the scorpion.
