The sword-infused wind howled.
Severed limbs were constantly being blown away by the yellow sand.
Gu Qing Shan put his sword away and turned to the tree that gave off a green aura: "I'm sorry, I dirtied your place"
The tree replied: 「 It's fine, it's fine, it's nothing 」
Gu Qing Shan smiled: "Then I'll be going"
"Hm, see you again, you can come back to play when you have time"
"Alright, see you again"
Gu Qing Shan once again took flight.
After confirming the direction, he headed towards the black market.
This time, he didn't run into anyone else. Soon enough, he flew out of the peaceful area covered by the tree and disappeared into the raging sandstorm.
After he left.
A small black scorpion jumped out from the sand and squeaked at the tree in front of him.
— — -this was the little scorpion that was secretly observing Gu Qing Shan when he was resting.
The tree nimbly swayed left and right a few times before denying it: 「 Forget it 」
The little scorpion continued to squeak in confusion.
The tree replied: 「 Ah, because he's very polite, I like polite people 」
The little scorpion squeaked in dissatisfaction.
The tree patiently explained: 「 Not only that, this is the first time I've seen a human who can play two Professions so well. Such a person is very rare, he must have some sort of shocking secret on him, so it's best if we don't go looking for trouble 」
While they were talking, a pile of corpses silently appeared from the sand.
They were the dozen people that Gu Qing Shan killed just now.
Other than the corpses, there was also a gourd of spirit spring water.
「 This should be enough for dinner, and there's also a gourd of spirit water he gave us, what do you think? 」 the tree asked.
The little scorpion looked at the corpses, then at the gourd of spirit spring water, still a bit unwilling.
It continued to squawk at the big tree.
The tree sighed and said: 「 Do you really want to eat something fresh that much — — - 」
All of a sudden, a glowing red machine fell out from one of the corpses.
The machine let out a rapid 'beep beep beep' sound.
The tree's voice was cut off.
Both it and the little scorpion were attracted by the machine.
The little scorpion listened for a while, then squeaked doubtfully at the tree.
"Ah, don't ask. I don't know anything about technology. If you're good with your studies, you can study it," the tree sounded annoyed.
The flashing red machine suddenly stopped.
Soon, dozens of black dots appeared in the distant sky.
These black dots flew at an extremely fast speed and landed in front of the corpses.
"Boss, we've found the place. It's a pity that Little Zhi and the others have been killed," someone reported.
"At first, I thought there was a problem with the life monitor. Now, it seems that someone really dared to kill our people," Boss said with a gloomy face.
The group of people exuded a thick baleful aura.
They were eager to find the person who dared to oppose them.
"Ninth, go and have a look," Boss ordered.
"Yes."
Among the group of people, a short fellow walked forward and pulled out another miniature machine from the corpse.
He didn't know how he did it, but the miniature machine was activated.
Everything that had happened just now turned into a clear image in front of everyone.
From the moment they met until the very end, when Gu Qing Shan killed all of them with a single slash.
Everyone silently watched the entire process.
"Bastard, even though we haven't been in Greyhan world for very long, we can't be bullied by this kind of trash!" someone angrily shouted.
"That's right"
"That's right"
"If people knew that we've only been here for 2 days and already lost over a dozen people, wouldn't we become the laughing stock of those organizations?"
"That's right!"
Seeing that everyone was agreeing with him, the boss nodded.
He said: "That brat's target is the black market, we'll catch up and kill him in a bit!"
"His swordsmanship is a bit strange, everyone be careful"
"Now, gather the corpses and prepare to leave!"
"Yes!" everyone loudly responded.
They quickly gathered the corpses of their comrades.
As the little black scorpion saw them gathering the corpses, it couldn't take it anymore.
These are all its food!
The little black scorpion rushed forward and started squeaking at them.
As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of those people.
It's very normal for a sand scorpion to appear in a desert.
That's why no one paid attention to it at first.
But now, this little thing dared to stop them from gathering the corpses.
From the looks of it, it's treating these corpses as its dinner?
Bastard …
The person closest to it stepped forward, wanting to stomp it to death.
As soon as he did, he fell to the ground.
Hm?
What's going on?
The others cautiously looked over.
They noticed that their comrade was already dead.
"Enemy attack!"
The ones who reacted quickly called out.
Over a dozen people took out their weapons and prepared for battle.
They carefully observed their surroundings.
Then they all fell to the ground.
They're all dead.
From the void of space, a lush green glow slowly appeared.
The faint green glow came from the dozens of fresh corpses and landed on the tree again.
The tree looked even more verdant than before.
Seeing how these people couldn't take their food away and instead became fresh food, the little black scorpion happily jumped up and down.
It squeaked excitedly at the tree.
The tree spoke with a booming voice: 「 That's right, dinner was very sumptuous, there's enough food for tomorrow as well, are you satisfied now, my son?
」 The little scorpion nodded.
「 That's good 」 the tree happily replied.
Following its words, all the corpses fell into the quicksand and disappeared without a trace.
The desert began to tremble intensely.
The quicksand scattered in every direction.
A patch of black soil about the size of a medium-sized city rose up, revealing its outline.
This black soil — — -
— - no, this wasn't soil, this was highly solid black chitin skin!
Natural evil patterns crawled all over this seemingly boundless hard skin.
Through these naturally formed patterns, the monstrous and ferocious aura was completely hidden, not even a trace of it leaked out.
After a few more breaths, its figure finally emerged from the quicksand.
This was a black scorpion the size of a city!
Its entire body was jet black, a terrifying and unbelievable sight.
Although it lay there quietly and didn't move much, anyone who saw it would feel their heart skip a beat.
This was a living being's fear towards the omen of death, an innate fear that couldn't be avoided.
The only part of the scorpion that wasn't completely black was a faint green glow.
— — -the verdant tree that was full of vitality and could resist the endless sandstorm.
This tree wasn't a tree, it was the scorpion's fatal stinger.
In the entire Drifting Sand world, there might not be a weapon more deadly than this stinger!
「 Let's go home, we've had enough fun, don't let mommy wait too long 」
The giant scorpion spoke in a booming voice.
This voice was the same one that the tree from before made.
The little scorpion squeaked a few times, as if asking for something.
「 Alright, you glutton, I'll give you a snack first 」 the giant scorpion smiled and said.
A corpse suddenly appeared on its back.
The little scorpion carefully looked at it.
It was the person who wanted to step on it before.
The little scorpion happily climbed onto the corpse's face.
It began to eat.
The city-sized black scorpion began to move slowly in the desert.
「 The person who just left, do you still want to eat him? 」 the giant scorpion asked.
The little scorpion was busy eating, so it quickly raised its stinger and pointed at the food in front of it.
「 Hm, that's right, these impolite people can be eaten as they please, because other than food, they have no other use 」 the giant scorpion said in satisfaction.
「 Squeak squeak? 」 the little scorpion doubtfully looked up and asked.
The giant scorpion solemnly taught its bloodline: 「 Manners are important because within the infinite worlds, it represents respect towards the unknown, as well as a person's demeanor during the Apocalypse, so you need to be a polite little fellow as well, only then will you appear to have been brought up properly 」
「 Squeak 」
The little scorpion responded without fully understanding.
They slowly moved away.
…
On the other side.
Gu Qing Shan was flying in the air when she suddenly hurriedly landed.
He didn't even mind spending a large amount of spirit stones to arrange layers upon layers of defensive formations, alarm formations, concealment formations, counterattack formations, and spirit gathering formations.
This was quite a large sum of money.
But Gu Qing Shan had to spend these spirit stones.
Because his spirit energy had entered an uncontrollable state, he had to use formations to warn and protect himself.
This meant one thing — — -
Without any warning, the second karmic adversity had ended.
