"Captain, how far is the place you are talking about?" A young woman with an average appearance wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked another middle-aged man in her forties. The woman's name was Du Yuan, and her late-stage Xuan Realm cultivation.

The middle-aged man replied: "As long as you cross this mountain, you will be almost here." His name is Zhou Wenchuan, with an approachable round face, he looks like he has a perfect cultivation level in the Xuan Realm, and is an extremely calm person.

"How long does it take to cross this mountain?" asked another tall and thin man. The man was named Duan Liang, who was a young man from the third place, had a perfect cultivation level in the Xuan Realm, and was an extremely cheerful guy.

"This mountain is extremely vast, I'm afraid I'll have to walk for a day," Zhou Wenchuan replied.

"One day? My God, we have been away for a day, and we have to go there for another day." Du Yuan looked bitter and looked extremely reluctant.

"Sister, you can pick spiritual medicines anyway along the way. Even if you don't follow the captain, we still have to keep running around every day." A tall and burly man comforted him. He was Du Yuan's brother Du Lei, a man in his thirties, a simple and honest man, and has a perfect cultivation level in the Xuan Realm.

Du Yuan curled her lips and said nothing.

At this time, another slightly fat man asked worriedly: "Captain, will those half-branch lotus in the Tianxin have already been taken advantage of?" The man was named Ding Yuan, who had a late stage in the Xuan Realm and had a cowardly personality.

The Tianxin Half-branch Lotus in his mouth is the main spiritual material for refining Tongmai Pills, and Tongmai Pills is an auxiliary elixir for the advancement of the Xuan Realm in the Earth Realm. For these monks whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the Xuan Realm and are about to make breakthroughs, the temptation of the Tianxin Half-branch Lotus is full of power.

Regarding Ding Yuan's concern, Zhou Wenchuan answered affirmatively: "It is absolutely impossible. The place is extremely hidden, and there are powerful spiritual beasts that ordinary people cannot get close to."

"Then can't we beat that spirit beast?" Ding Yuan asked uneasy.

"Don't worry, we don't need to fight head-on with that spirit beast. I have a powerful formation on my hand to trap it. I will just evacuate it after picking the spiritual medicine." Zhou Wenchuan said.

Everyone nodded.

Then, Du Yuan said: "Since there is still a day away, why don't we find a place to rest for a while."

"Yes, this place will encounter danger at any time, and you must maintain sufficient physical strength and energy." Ding Yuan agreed. He was a little fat, so he naturally consumed more physical strength than ordinary people when he moved.

Zhou Wenchuan nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's go forward and find a suitable place to rest." As he said that, he took the lead in walking into the mountains, and the rest followed closely.

The man and the woman who walked at the end had never spoken. The man was named Zhuang Shao, who was in his thirties, had a perfect cultivation level in the Xuan Realm and had a somewhat withdrawn personality. The woman's name was Chen Shuangshuang, who was as cold as Bingshuang, was a cold and beautiful woman, who looked at her 26 or 27 years old, and had a late-stage cultivation level in the Xuan Realm.

The group had just climbed a small high slope and was about to move towards a valley below the high slope when they suddenly heard a "ding-ding-dang" fighting sound in the valley.

"Captain, it seems that someone is fighting in front of you. Why don't we go around this hillside?" Ding Yuan suggested uneasyly.

Zhou Wenchuan thought for a while and nodded in agreement. After all, if they meet strong people in the earth realm with their cultivation, the risk factor will be very high.

But just as the pedestrian was about to walk along the hillside, the fighting sounds in the valley suddenly stopped, and then a burst of rapid footsteps approached them.

The expressions on everyone's faces became solemn. Before they could react, they saw a big beard rushing out of the jungle in the valley below. The big beard was holding a big sword full of gaps in his hand, looking hurried. It was obvious that the big beard was Ye Wutian.

Seeing Ye Wutian, everyone showed a look of caution on their faces, because they could not see his cultivation, so they naturally thought he was a powerful person in the earth realm.

When Ye Wutian rushed out of the jungle, he also saw the group of people on the hillside. After he hesitating for a while, he rushed towards the group of people without changing his direction. But before he could run a few steps, another giant scorpion was chased out from the jungle behind.

The scorpion is metallic in its entirety, and it looks like it is made of diamonds, especially the huge clips like two iron clamps in front of it, which is intimidating. The thick and long tail behind it, and the sharp sting like an awl at the end of its tail, all of which look extremely powerful.

Needless to think about it, it was Ye Wutian who was fighting with this scorpion just now.

After rushing out of the forest, the scorpion's movements became more rapid. The four pairs of Vajra swung rapidly, just like driving a train, and chased Ye Wutian in a few seconds. Then, the powerful iron clip on its right opened the boss and clamped Ye Wutian's back with a fierce momentum. It would be strange if it was pinched by this clip, its body would not be clamped in two pieces.

Seeing this scene, Du Yuan on the hillside subconsciously exclaimed and reminded: "Be careful!"

Ye Wutian also realized the situation behind him. He quickly turned around and raised his sword to block it.

"Swish!" The scorpion's clip happened to hit the sword body, and the sharp metal friction sounded like goosebumps.

Although the scorpion's clip looked powerful, it failed to cut off the ordinary iron sword in Ye Wutian's hand.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Wenchuan said, "It seems that this scorpion is still in its growth stage. I have seen a similar scorpion clipping off a low-quality treasure weapon."

"Piece off the inferior treasure? Then how powerful this scorpion should be." Duan Liang exclaimed with wide eyes, and the rest of them looked surprised.

"This type of scorpion belongs to the golden spirit beast. After adulthood, its hard skin is harder than ordinary low-grade heaven and earth spiritual treasures. It can be used to exercise gold treasures." Zhou Wenchuan explained.

At this time, the scorpion saw that the attack fell to nothing, and immediately waved another clip to attack Ye Wutian.

Since the big sword in his hand was tightly clamped by the opponent, Ye Wutian had to abandon the sword and retreat.

Seeing this, Du Yuan hurriedly said, "Captain, it seems that he can't hold on for long, let's go and help him."

"This spirit beast is so powerful and looks invulnerable. How can we beat it?" Ding Yuan said fearfully.

"In fact, it's not that difficult to deal with. Although the leather armor on it is very hard, its abdomen is still relatively fragile. As long as you look for an opportunity to attack his abdomen, it can be easily killed." Zhou Wenchuan analyzed.

After hearing what he said, everyone had nothing to be afraid of. They took out their weapons and rushed towards the scorpion in a swarm.

A large group of people surrounded the scorpion, the people in front were responsible for attracting the scorpion's attention, and the people on both sides were waiting for an opportunity to attack the scorpion's abdomen.

Faced with so many people, the scorpion seemed a little caught off guard. In a moment, it was stabbed in its abdomen, and golden liquid overflowed from its wound. The scorpion screamed in pain, and its actions became chaotic.

In this way, it was knocked to the ground before it could last long, and the golden liquid flowed all over the ground, emitting a strong smell of blood.

Ye Wutian walked to Scorpion and picked up the big sword on the ground, then came to Zhou Wenchuan and his group, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your kind help."

"Brother, you are too polite. As the saying goes, you should draw your sword to help me when you see injustice!" Duan Liang waved his hand and smiled heartily. As he said, he turned his head and said to Du Lei: "Brother Du, you use an axe to cut down that guy's claws."

"What do you do if you cut it into a claw?" Du Lei said in confusion.

"Of course it was used as a weapon," Duan Liang said.

"Oh!" Du Lei agreed, then lifted the axe and walked to the scorpion, spitting saliva into the palm of his hand, he pinched the handle of the axe, raised the axe over his head, and aimed at the joints that connected to the body of one of the scorpion's claws.

After some energy accumulation, he shouted loudly and chopped the axe down.

"Clang!"

With the loud metal impact, a hole was hidden in the scorpion's joint, while Du Lei was bounced out with a strong reaction force and axe.

Everyone was stunned.

Du Lei got up from the ground in a mess, rubbed the painful palm and said, "Brother Duan, this claw cannot be cut at all."

"Don't waste your energy. The mortal weapon cannot penetrate its defense." Zhou Wenchuan reminded, and then said to Ye Wutian: "Brother, you can compete with this scorpion for so long. I guess you should have the late stage of the Xuan Realm, right?"

Ye Wutian nodded and smiled, "Yes, I'm the late stage of the Xuan Realm." He did not lie because his current cultivation level had indeed fallen below the Earth Realm and reached the late stage of the Xuan Realm. It is precisely because of this that he did not use the dagger to deal with the scorpion, but instead found this relatively large iron sword as a weapon.

"Then why can't I see your cultivation level?" Du Yuan asked in confusion.

"Haha, it's just because I've hidden my cultivation." Ye Wutian explained casually.

Du Yuan smiled and said, "So that's the case. I thought you were a powerful person in the earth realm."

"If I were a strong man in the earth realm, I would have killed this guy, so he would have chased him to run around the mountain." Ye Wutian said with a smile.

Duan Liang nodded and said, "That's right, by the way, brother, what's going on with your hand?" He had long noticed Ye Wutian's right hand, which looked as dark as charcoal, so it seemed very novel.

After hearing his question, everyone looked at Ye Wutian's right hand curiously.

"This is because of poisoning." Ye Wutian explained truthfully.

"Poisoned? It seems like it is a very powerful poison. Could it be that it was stung by this scorpion?" Du Yuan looked worried.

Ye Wutian was a little ashamed. If he was stung by the huge tail needle of this scorpion, he would be poisoned and would die directly.
