When Lu Feng heard the noise, he stopped what he was doing and looked back at the ground. He saw a palm-sized scorpion, which seemed to be frightened and was burying its head into another pile of yellow sand, squeezing desperately into the sand.
The whole body of the scorpion is dark yellow, much darker than the yellow sand. The scorpion's tail and the two large pincers at the front are reddish-bloody, and look particularly coquettish against the yellow sand.
Miao Qiuping's shocked voice came again: "The Red Scorpion has only appeared in Fushaluodu in recent years. It doesn't exist in Nangu Town at all. How could it appear here?"
Tang Yuan was confused: "Could it be carried here by the wind and sand?"
"No," Miao Qiuping said firmly: "The red scorpion is an unusual creature. It is a group-parasitic poisonous insect. Once it escapes from its mother, the young red scorpions will die in a short time, and there is no way to survive. And often one of them will die.
There will only be one mother queen in the group."
Miao Qiuyun thought of something and said with horror in her eyes: "There are baby scorpions here, could there be a mother queen..."
Miao Qiuping shook his head and said: "The Queen Mother of the Red Glory Scorpion is usually very large in size. The Queen Mother of the Scarlet Glory Scorpion at the Five Elements level is at least three or four meters in size, and the Queen Mother of the Earth Soul Realm can even exceed ten meters in size.
Meters away, all you can see here are ruins, it is difficult to hide such a large beast; moreover, it is impossible for such a huge beast to cross the city wall defense line silently."
Lu Feng's evil-dispelling eyes secretly moved, following the little red scorpion into the sand. As he sensed it, his face became increasingly ugly.
"Today's city wall defenses... can protect against beasts, but not necessarily against humans."
Miao Qiuping was startled,
Not sure why: "Beware of people? Beware of whom? Has anyone escaped from Fusha Luodu?"
Jiang Ruoyun vaguely understood something and guessed: "Brother Feng means... that the red scorpions here may have been brought here by humans?"
Tang Yuan was surprised: "If this is the case, isn't it really possible that there is a Scarlet Scorpion Mother Queen?"
Miao Qiuyun said in horror: "You are saying...that someone is raising red scorpions here secretly?"
Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable.
Miao Qiuping understood what he heard and yelled angrily: "If this is really the case, then Xiao Shu and the Lian family will really deserve to die! Once the Red Scorpion spreads in Nangu Town, it will spread in Nangu Town.
It would be a disaster.”
Lu Feng's deep voice slowly sounded: "I'm afraid... the guess is correct."
Tang Yuan immediately understood and stepped forward, "Old Lu, what did you find?"
Lu Feng nodded and gestured to glance at the ground to the side and in front. As the spiritual energy stirred, a small piece of yellow sand covering it was blown to other places.
A blue-black ashlar stone appeared in front of everyone's eyes, with lines all over it.
Jiang Ruoyun, Tang Yuan, and Miao Qiuping looked at it blankly, not seeing any clues. They just saw the evil patterns carved on the blue and black square stones, which made them a little uneasy.
Miao Qiuyun has a strong knowledge of formations and is very familiar with various formation jade stones. After taking a closer look, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is...'corrosion sulfur stone!?"
Miao Qiuping was puzzled: "What is Erosion Gu Sulfur Stone?"
Miao Qiuyun said with a solemn expression: "The corroding sulfur stone has many functions. The two most common ones are to set up auxiliary formations for evil cultivators to practice, which can be used to absorb corpses.
The death yin energy in the bones; the other is to arrange the yin and evil creature formations such as cultivating voodoos to cultivate evil voodoo insects, which is very vicious; both of them are not methods that are tolerated by righteous monks."
"And the lines on the worm-eaten sulfur stone in front of me..." Miao Qiuyun couldn't decide for a while while looking at it, and her brows knitted together.
Lu Fengqing said slowly: "It's the 'Red Fire Scale Pattern.'"
Miao Qiuyun was startled. When she heard the same term as what she was thinking, she suddenly turned pale with horror: "It's really a red fire scale pattern...could someone be raising some kind of evil poisonous poison here using red scorpions as nutrients?"
?」
Lu Feng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Maybe that's not necessarily the case. The person behind this may just be using red fire scale patterns to create some sort of trap.
Suppress certain poisons, such as the Red Scorpion—the Queen Mother!"
Miao Qiuyun was startled again, thinking that the characteristics of the red fire scale pattern did have good suppressive properties against some cold poisons, and she couldn't help but change her guess and went with what Lu Feng said.
He turned to look at Miao Qiuping beside him: "Brother, please help clear some of the surrounding foundations and see what's going on?"
Miao Qiuyun expressed her voice, but she couldn't tell much from this small area.
Compared with the safety of Nangu Town, her inner fear of scorpions seems not as strong as it was at the beginning.
"who!?"
As soon as Miao Qiuping took a step forward, he suddenly heard several strong shouts.
Everyone looked around and saw a patrol team of five people approaching them with blades in hand.
Miao Qiuping's face suddenly turned cold: "It's Xiao Shu's bastard!"
Considering that these people often did evil things, Miao Qiuping flew directly to the police station without hesitation.
In front of him, he knocked all these guards who only had the strength of the Five Elements Realm to the ground in a few strokes.
One of them struggled and waited to send a message for rescue.
Tang Yuan had quick eyesight and quickly snatched the message fireworks from his hand.
Click~
The sound of a broken neck was heard.
"Stay alive!" Tang Yuan shouted softly, stopping Miao Qiuping from further revenge.
"Uh~"
But the muffled screams still came out.
Tang Yuan frowned and looked at Miao Qiuping unhappily.
"It's not me," Miao Qiuping innocently raised his hands to show his innocence, and looked at the patrolling guard who groaned.
At this moment, he fell to the ground in pain, his face turned ferocious, and gradually turned red and black.
Lu Feng and others also came over at this time.
Miao Qiuping noticed the clue and said in surprise: "It's the Red Scorpion! He's been poisoned."
Tang Yuan subconsciously glanced at the guard who died after struggling for a few times. He saw blood oozing out from the base of his hind legs. After hearing Miao Qiuping's words, he raised his hand and used a palm force to turn him over.
A young red scorpion quickly fled out and disappeared into the pile of yellow sand nearby.
"The poison of the Red Scorpion...can have such overbearing lethality?"
Tang Yuan was horrified and was about to step forward to check the wounds of the dead guard.
Miao Qiuping stopped him and said, "Be careful, the red scorpion's poison has two levels of harm."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and carefully pulled open the guard's trousers, revealing a shocking wound.
The original calf was completely ulcerated, bloody, and swollen like a red-hot fat pig's trotters. It was extremely ugly and disgusting.
Miao Qiuping pointed to the wound and said: "If the blood in this calf spills out, it will still be stained with blood if touched.
Although the toxicity of the Brilliant Scorpion is not as serious as the first level, it is still easy to poison a soul master below the Condensation Realm."
The other three living guards huddled together in panic, fearing that they would be the next one targeted by the Red Scorpion.
Miao Qiuping stared at the three of them with stern eyes: "This is not a patrol area, why are you here!"
The three of them looked at each other without responding, all with their heads lowered.
"Looking for death!" Miao Qiuping's murderous intention emerged. After all, he was once the eldest son of Miao, and he still knew how to use his iron-blooded skills to press. At that moment, he slashed the dead guard's calf with a finger force, and red and smelly blood spurted out instantly.
Straight into the face of a nearby patrol guard.
The next moment, a ferocious wailing sound suddenly started.
The guard's entire face was festering at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, even his facial bones were rotting away.
Although the guards had secretly used the strength of the Five Elements Realm to resist, they were unable to withstand the erosion of the poison. They only wailed for a few breaths before dying on the ground.
Miao Qiuping was so frightened by this scene that he lost his voice: "The poison of the red scorpions here is actually more ferocious and domineering than those outside! What is going on?!"
He originally
I just wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and scare others so that they could ask questions, but I didn't expect to kill another one directly.
Seeing this scene, the remaining two people were trembling with fear, but they still refused to respond.
Tang Yuan understood that the two of them must be worried about something, and he was afraid that he would die if he spoke rashly. He immediately raised his hand to stun one of them, and shouted to the other: "You are the only one left now. No one knows that you revealed the truth."
What was exposed, if you don’t tell me..."
"I said it, I said it." The guard glanced at his companion who fell on the ground. He immediately had no worries and said eagerly, "It's Master Han. He is the one who asked us to patrol here. He ordered us not to let anyone get close to here.
"
Tang Yuan frowned: "Who is Master Han?"
The guard glanced at Tang Yuan in surprise, as if he was shocked that there were still people in Nangu town who didn't recognize Master Han.
Miao Qiuping took the words and explained: "Han Shu is the Sha doctor next to Xiao Shu."
Tang Yuan nodded in understanding and stared at the guard coldly: "Keep talking!"
The guard said in a trembling voice: "Master Han...he raised a huge red scorpion here a while ago that was more than ten meters away."
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.
The previous guess was confirmed so quickly.
"Damn it!" Miao Qiuping's eyes were full of hatred and anger, "The Scarlet Scorpion Queen was actually secretly brought into the city! Tell me! Where exactly was she raised? And where is Han Shu now!?"
The guard begged for mercy: "I don't know the specific feeding area for this villain. Master Han is on the city wall at the moment."
Miao Qiuping thought that as a guard, he really shouldn't be exposed to too many secrets. He didn't ask any more questions at the moment, and instead asked: "What is Han Shu doing on the other side of the city wall? Why did you gather earlier?"
The guard said: "Because the thief who stole Master Han's alchemy furnace has traces, Prison Master Xiao has gathered us to search and suppress him. Now that the thief has been forced outside the city wall, Prison Master Xiao and Master Han are discussing whether to break in If he enters Fushaluo, he will be further arrested, but he will still defend the city wall and wait for him to escape."
When Lu Feng and Tang Yuan heard the news, their faces instantly became gloomy.
Come down.
Sususu~
A dense rustling sound suddenly sounded, countless rolling sands scattered and fell, and young red scorpions sprang out in all directions, closing in on the crowd.
Miao Qiuping's face changed drastically: "No, it's the smell of blood that attracts these poisonous insects!"
Without hesitation, Miao Qiuping immediately jumped away from the corpse with his sister, avoiding the encirclement of the Red Scorpion group.
When the guard saw this, he subconsciously wanted to escape, but Miao Qiuping shot a dart straight into the heart.
Fresh blood splashed, leaving a bright trace on the yellow sand everywhere, instantly attracting countless red scorpions.
Lu Feng and his party moved to avoid it. In just a moment, all five corpses were eroded to the point where they were reduced to white bones. Their faces were full of horror.
Miao Qiuyun was so shocked by this bloody scene that her heart rose to her throat, and she was so horrified that she could not speak.
Miao Qiuping looked at the countless red scorpions that had finished their meal and lurked into the pile of yellow sand, with an unusually solemn expression:
"The red scorpion larvae have such a battle, so how terrifying should this mother queen be?"
Lu Feng secretly sensed the movements of countless Red Scorpions returning to their nests, and caught the patterns among them, a look of understanding gradually appeared on his face.
After a moment of silence.
Lu Feng glanced at the message fireworks held in Tang Yuan's hand and handed over a Nai Ring:
"Old Tang, follow me to grow radishes, and then give Xiao Shu and those blind forces a big gift here!"
Tang Yuan was startled, "Growing radishes?"
On second thought, he saw the cold smile appearing on the corner of Lu Feng's mouth. He was startled, and a hint of chill appeared unconsciously.
With such an expression, he knows best
pass!
After being chased all the way, it was time for them to fight back.
