Hearing Gu Qing Shan's words, the black-skinned man fell silent.
For a while, he didn't know how to answer Gu Qing Shan.
After waiting for more than a minute, he finally said, "My wife and child are dead."
"Dead?" Gu Qing Shan smiled. "Don't joke around, your wife is stronger than you are, if you're still alive, how could she be dead?"
The black-skinned man fell silent again.
He was trying to think of how to answer.
Gu Qing Shan was smiling as she coldly stared at him.
He was almost certain that this was a fake.
But his presence and presence, even the stinger he used to attack was exactly the same as the black scorpion.
Before the black-skinned man could think of an answer, Gu Qing Shan activated the formation plate again.
He brought Little Xi away and disappeared again.
Somewhere far away in the desert.
The light of the formation flashed again.
Gu Qing Shan and Little Xi reappeared.
Gu Qing Shan took out the formation plate from his sleeve and took out the spirit stones embedded on it.
As soon as they were taken out, these spirit stones crumbled to dust and scattered in the wind.
The spirit stones that Gu Qing Shan put on the formation plate were all top-grade spirit stones, which could be used many times during normal times.
But in order to avoid the black scorpion as soon as possible, he had to use the formation plate as much as he could, which consumed a lot of spirit stones.
Gu Qing Shan took out a few new spirit stones and put them into the formation plate one by one.
"It has the black scorpion's appearance and attack, perfectly replicated" Gu Qing Shan commented.
"Then is the black scorpion dead or not?" Little Xi asked.
"I suspect that the scorpion family isn't dead" he said.
"How can you tell?" Little Xi asked.
"If the Demon Scorpion Empress is dead, then this monster would have immediately said: My wife and child are dead, you only need to take me with you"
"This is the simplest and most direct response, if possible, he would have even shown me the Demon Scorpion Empress' body"
Gu Qing Shan continued: "But he didn't answer me right away, instead fell into thought"
Little Dusk replied: "He's taking a bit too long"
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: "That's why we know something else — — this monster isn't good at socializing with people, nor does it know that staying silent for too long would arouse the suspicion of others"
"What do we do now?" Little Xi asked.
"Now that we know so much, let's go again and get to the bottom of things," he said.
"What are you going to do? Are you planning to use this chain formation? "Little Dusk asked.
"No, the situation has changed. Before we understand everything, we can't kill the scorpion directly" Gu Qing Shan said.
…
The black-faced man stood motionless in the desert.
He was very irritable.
What was up with that person just now?
Why was he able to use his spatial ability so freely to escape in front of him?
How regretful, due to the figure of light's appearance, the majority of my power was suppressed by the desert.
Otherwise, he would definitely be able to capture this person and interrogate him about the method to leave this world.
Just as he was feeling vexed, that person appeared again.
— — Gu Qing Shan and Little Dusk appeared in front of him again.
"My wife and child are really dead, take me with you, let's leave this world" the black-faced man immediately said.
This was what he had been thinking about for a long time.
"You're not the black scorpion" Gu Qing Shan said straight away.
"Ah? How so? "the black-faced man asked.
"Because I found him just now" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The black-faced man shook his head: "That's impossible, I'm standing right here, where did you see my impersonator?"
"Come" Gu Qing Shan said.
The formation plate in his hand glowed.
A second later, another black-faced man appeared next to him.
This black-faced man looked exactly the same as the scorpion that guarded the labyrinth, there wasn't even the slightest difference.
The two black-faced men stared at each other.
"He's a fake"
"You're the fake!"
They roared angrily and charged forward almost at the same time to meet the attack head on.
Boom!
The sound of an explosion resounded in all directions, causing an invisible shockwave in the air.
The two of them fell back where they stood.
"How is that possible …"
The black-faced man guarding the labyrinth muttered.
Whether it was their presence, strength, fighting style or habits, the other party was exactly the same as him — — - and even more experienced than he was in combat.
"This is the real him, and you're a fake" Gu Qing Shan told him.
The black-faced man couldn't say anything.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "We're going to take the real him and escape from this world"
Leave … alone …
They're leaving.
The black-faced man regained his senses.
No, it's already too late to change bodies to stop them from leaving.
But they're not weak, and there's even a black scorpion that's on par with me, I can't stop them from leaving.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan looked at the black-faced man, shook her head and sighed: "You impersonator can stay here, we're leaving"
Seeing that she was about to leave, the black-faced man couldn't help but shout: "Wait a minute, he's the fake! The scorpion's soul is with me! "
Gu Qing Shan immediately stopped.
Soul?
— — -the soul is with you?
If that's the case, the scorpion's body was most likely being controlled.
The monster most likely used some kind of possession technique to enter the scorpion's body and took over the scorpion's soul.
This is a bit similar to the possession technique of the cultivation world.
However, possession is a very dangerous thing to do, as you can easily lose everything you have if you're not careful.
And with so many guards in the Abyss of Sin, a single cultivator couldn't possibly possess so many people at once.
But all the guards had disappeared.
This confirms another thing — — this monster has the ability to control many people at once.
But even now, no other guards have shown up.
This also means something else:
Although the monster can control the bodies of many living beings, it can only use one body at a time.
In other words, the Demon Scorpion Empress is still alive, but she's currently being stored away as the monster's spare body.
Which means, the only thing left to do now is to confirm.
After calculating, Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but laugh.
This time, it was a genuine laugh, so he was laughing very happily.
He turned to the person next to him: "Little Xi, you need to get to know more people from now on, you can't be like him, staying in the seal all day long and being seen through no matter what you do"
Little Xi sighed: "I think his only problem is that he ran into you"
The black-skinned man next to Gu Qing Shan asked: "Gongzi, what do we do now?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Simple"
He threw the formation plate on the ground.
A flash of light appeared on the formation plate.
[Long-Distance teleportation is about to be activated!]
Gu Qing Shan grabbed the black-skinned man in one hand and Little Xi in the other, then suddenly disappeared.
Divine Skill, [Shadow Shift]!
The black-skinned man who was guarding the labyrinth instantly appeared where Gu Qing Shan originally stood.
The formation was activated!
In a split second, he was teleported away.
While Gu Qing Shan's group of three appeared where the black-skinned man originally stood.
"Come, let's enter the labyrinth" Gu Qing Shan said.
"What about the black scorpion?" Little Xi couldn't help but ask.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "With such a long distance, that monster won't be able to quickly return, and we've already entered the labyrinth — — - so it will immediately give up on the black scorpion's body and use the other guard's body in the labyrinth to protect the Divine Armament"
"That way, the monster won't know how I'll go through this labyrinth, and the black scorpion might be able to regain its freedom"
"If that's the case, the black scorpion will definitely come to save his wife and child, and once he enters the labyrinth, he'll be able to help me distract the monster"
"Now is the time for us to act"
Gu Qing Shan looked at the black-skinned man.
"Shannu, you can turn back now"
"Yes, gongzi"
The black-skinned man turned back into a blue-dress girl.
The blue-dress girl returned a black branch to Gu Qing Shan.
— — -this was the thorn that the black scorpion gave Gu Qing Shan before.
Just now, Shannu used it to activate [Mystery of All Beings Equal].
Looking at this thorn, Gu Qing Shan silently sighed.
He originally wanted to turn into a scorpion as well, that way, with Little Dusk's help, they would be able to quickly kill the other party.
But now that he knows that the other party is using a scorpion's body, and that there's a chance that the scorpion can be saved, it won't be easy to act.
After all, uncle scorpion is a decent person, so killing him to earn Soul Points would make him feel a bit guilty.
"Keep it, it might come in handy at any time" Gu Qing Shan told her.
"Alright" Shannu put the thorn away.
Little Dusk stared at the blue-dress girl's cold expression and exclaimed: "Wow, so pretty, who are you, big sis?"
"Hello, I'm gongzi's sword, my name is Shannu" Shannu greeted her.
Little Dusk hurriedly said: "Nice to meet you too, I'm your gongzi's companion, my name is Dusk, you can call me Little Dusk"
"Alright, Little Dusk" Shannu smiled and lightly called her.
She had always been by Gu Qing Shan's side, so she saw everything that happened and had a good impression of Little Dusk.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Alright, let's talk later, let's go inside"
Shannu turned back into the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and flew behind Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan brought Little Dusk towards a sand dune.
As they got closer, the sand slowly parted.
A flight of stairs leading downwards appeared in front of them.
…
On the other side.
The light of the formation faded.
The black-skinned man appeared inside the formation.
"Oh no, this is spatial warp"
His expression was grim as he looked afar.
I need to return right now!
The man's body moved, about to fly back.
Sha!
A flash of light.
He suddenly disappeared and reappeared a few dozen feet behind him.
The man looked around.
He was warped again.
His body moved again.
Sha!
A flash of light.
This time, he wasn't even able to take a single step before he was transported to another formation.
— — -interconnected warp formations!
Anyone who tried to move within the formation would immediately trigger the formation.
He would have to travel back and forth between 36 interconnected warp formations, unable to leave.
If he was a formation expert, he would be able to break them one by one.
But if he was destroyed by force — — -
The black-skinned man slammed his fist on the ground.
Crack!
A faint sound came from the formation, as if it was about to break.
The black-skinned man relaxed.
If that's the case, I can break it right away!
But at the very next moment, another flash of light appeared.
He was transported to another formation.
— — -this was a perfectly intact formation.
The black-skinned man angrily unleashed a full-powered attack.
Boom!
The entire formation broke.
But as soon as he attacked, he had already triggered the formation.
A flash of light.
The warp was complete.
He was teleported to another intact spell formation!
The black-skinned man took a deep breath.
Seems like I'll have to destroy the majority of the warp formations to be able to leave!
But there's no time to waste.
That person must have already entered the labyrinth!
"There's no other way, I have to leave this body and return immediately" the black-skinned man muttered.
A second later, his body trembled as he fell into a blank state.
A few moments later, the black-skinned man's eyes regained clarity.
"Why am I here?"
He looked around and gradually remembered what had happened.
"… So that's what happened, it used my body"
"Not good, wife, son, wait for me, I'm coming to save you!"
The black-skinned man rushed forward.
A flash of light.
He was transported to another formation.
After a bit of thought, he understood what happened.
The black-skinned man sighed emotionally: "Good, good, good, that's the only reason why it's in such a hurry to return, not even bothering to kill me"
