"Huh! It finally works..." Seeing that her spiritual energy could counteract the petrified state, the insect mother finally breathed a sigh of relief. She then glared at the thunder-marked scorpion and cursed: "Idiot, you made the decision without permission to give the beads
Injecting spiritual energy almost killed me."
"Well, you can't blame me completely." At this moment, the Sky-devouring Thunder Scorpion was so frightened that his body was still trembling slightly, and he muttered: "I didn't know that this broken bead could release petrified light, I'm sorry.
.”
"Okay, I punish you to check the status of the bead quickly and see if it can still emit light."
"Okay, I'll take a look right away."
As he spoke, the thunder-marked scorpion tremblingly threw a stone to hit the bead, and then carefully moved it closer to check. At this time, the bead no longer had the shiny look it had after absorbing the spiritual energy.
It has become bleak.
"Uh..." The Thunder Scorpion touched the object with its pincers and said, "Okay, it's safe now."
"Phew, I was scared to death. It was such a critical moment just now. If this insect hadn't been so adaptable and quick-witted, it would have turned into stone long ago."
After the insect mother said this, she glanced at the Sky-eating Thunder Scorpion again: "Hey, what are you still waiting for? Hand the bead to me quickly. Do you still want to eat it?"
"Ah, I don't dare to eat this thing, it might turn the parts in my stomach into stone." After hearing what the mother insect said, the thunder-banded scorpion shook its head like a rattle.
Then, the Sky-eating Thunder Scorpion continued: "In my opinion, this thing is still very dangerous. Why don't we take this thing back and show it to Master Guan. By then, even if the beads shine and turn Master Guan into stone, he will
There should be a way to change back, just like you."
"You brainless idiot, don't say these words in front of the master, otherwise he will beat you to death."
Hearing that this guy was talking openly and openly, Mother Insect was angry and funny, and then said: "But it's appropriate to show him the beads. Now that I think about it, we can't handle it."
As he spoke, it approached the five beads and murmured to itself: "But how to put them up..."
"Insect Mother, look." The Thunder Scorpion was rummaging around the shattered crystal pillar. Suddenly it stretched out its pincers to grab something, and then pulled it out of the ruins. It said: "This seems to be
Box."
"Well, it's a metal box... Hey, it seems it can still be opened." The mother insect said as she opened the lid of the box. The Thunder Scorpion also came over to take a look. The two of them suddenly discovered that there were five circular grooves inside the box.
It's exactly the same size as a few beads.
"It looks like this box is used to hold the beads of ferocious beasts. That's right." As she spoke, the insect mother placed the beads in the box and said, "Hey, is there anything else in the ruins?"
In fact, it was just asking casually, but the Sky-devouring Thunder Scorpion actually turned around and started searching carefully, and then let out a scream of surprise: "Yes, yes, there is another thing here, it seems to have been thrown in the metal box.
Next to it, I didn’t pull it out just now, you see.”
"Cracking...hiss!" Because the excited Thunder Scorpion used too much force, it even tore off some corners of the thing. The mother insect said: "Be careful, I will help you clean the stones on it first, don't damage it.
The wholeness of that thing.”
Saying that, the evil scorpion mother began to carefully move the stone with her forelimbs, and then the thunder-scorpion pulled the object out.
"It turns out it's an animal skin scroll, let's take a look at what's inside." The mother insect shook her head and came closer to the animal skin scroll, looked at it for a few seconds, and the Sky-Eating Thunder Scorpion next to her said, "Hey, what's written on it?
You should tell me quickly."
"Uh..." Zhong raised his head in embarrassment and replied: "Hey, I just remembered that I am illiterate."
"Ah?!" Hearing this, Thunder Striped Scorpion almost fell to the ground, and then raised his voice: "Please, if you don't have the ability to translate, just say it earlier. I have been looking forward to it for a long time, but in the end you told me nothing.
know."
"Hahaha, actually it doesn't matter, because the master knows most of the ancient texts, just take it back and show it to him."
When the insect mother said this, she glanced at the animal skin scroll again, then pointed to a certain position on it and said: "Look, I don't know it at all. I can clearly identify the origin of this emblem. This is 'Gusu'
The emblem of the Beast Tribe."
"I know what you're talking about." Thunder Striped Scorpion said angrily: "Didn't the bull-headed corpse warrior whom Guan Ye defeated just now have a metal ornament with the emblem of the Gusu Beast Tribe hanging on his neck? I can't.
Not forgotten."
"Okay, okay, I admit that you have a good memory." The mother insect hurriedly changed the topic at this time: "It's getting late, let's go back and meet the master quickly. If it's late, I'm afraid he will be angry."
"Okay, let's go." After saying that, the Sky-Eating Thunder Scorpion turned around and walked outside first. It said, "I can catch a few more fish to try while passing by the depression pool on my way back."
"Count me in too."
"Hahaha, it tastes better when we eat together."
…
After a short while, the Insect Mother and the Thunder Scorpion hurried back to the area where Guan Heng was.
At this time, Guan Heng was standing in front of the casting platform, looking at his work. He rubbed the arrow shaft and arrowhead, and then murmured to himself: "Strange, there are no flaws after my forging, why do I
What else do you think you’re missing?”
"Master, we are back." The mother evil worm shouted loudly as she hurriedly flew close to Guan Heng and placed the metal box she grabbed on the casting platform. "We are back. Look at you like this
I’m so happy, maybe there’s some unexpected gain?”
"Yes, Mr. Guan is really good at predicting things." The excited Thunder Scorpion recounted the experience he had just had with the Insect Mother in one breath, and continued: "We have also found a lot of rock demon cores, as well as the one who can
Beads that release petrifying beams, and, and..."
Having said this, the Thunder-marked Scorpion stuttered a little, and the Mother Insect hurriedly said: "There is also this animal skin scroll. Master, please take a look at the content on it."
"Okay, let me take a look at it." As he said that, Guan Heng took the thing and started looking at it. At first, he was a little careless, but after reading two lines, he suddenly became interested: "Haha, here it is.
It really describes quite interesting things.”
"Master (Master Guan), what is written on it?" Hearing the Insect Mother and Thunder Scorpion ask impatiently, Guan Heng replied casually: "This is something written by the descendant of the Gusu Beast Clan. I translated it to
Listen."
It turns out that what was written on the animal skin scroll was about the inevitable connection between the mysterious arrowheads and those petrified beads.
