When Huo Tian heard this, his expression changed drastically and he said to Shen Rui: "Brother Shen, something big happened in my mine. I'm sorry I can't accompany you. Jing'er, please accompany Brother Shen while I go take a look."
The old soul's voice sounded: "This scorpion must be the gold-eating demon scorpion, a second-level elementary monster. It likes the land of extremely gold the most. You can find a way to follow it and have a look. Maybe you will get something unexpected."
When Shen Rui heard this, he perked up and said to Huo Tian: "Something happened in your gold mine. I happen to be a metal warrior. Please let me go and have a look. Maybe I can help."
When Huo Tian heard this, it made sense and said, "Then I'll bother Brother Shen."
Huo Jing clamored to go with her, but Huo Tian said, "It's very dangerous there, so you'd better not go."
Huo Jing refused at all costs and insisted on going with her. Huo Tian only had one daughter, so he couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to agree. The three of them got on their horses and hurried towards the gold mine.
The outside of the gold mine was crowded with chaotic people, with several corpses lying on the ground, and dozens of people groaning on the other side. At the entrance of the gold mine, there were several iron plates weighing thousands of gold, blocking the entrance to the gold mine. It was tight. Dozens of people took weapons in hand and stared blankly at the entrance of the cave, not knowing what to do. But there was a terrible sound of metal clashing inside, and everyone turned pale. This was the sound of the gold-eating scorpion stinging the iron. plate.
Huo Tian frowned and said, "This thing's tail is so hard."
A man who looked like a steward saw Huo Tian and hurriedly came over and said: "Master, the situation inside is not good. A dozen miners have been stung to death, and fifty or sixty others have been poisoned and injured. My subordinates have ordered people to seal it off." Mine."
Huo Tian asked: "Is there any alchemist here? Ask them quickly if they have any antidote."
The steward said helplessly: "No."
Shen Rui suddenly remembered the antidote from pharmacist Youyan. He immediately took out a medicine bottle and said to the steward: "This is the antidote. You can try it on the injured person to see if it has an antidote effect."
The steward was overjoyed and hurriedly took the medicine bottle to treat everyone.
Huo Tian said: "If these demon scorpions come out and bite people everywhere, we will be screwed. I will go in and see if I can drive them away."
Then he said to Shen Rui: "Jing'er, please keep an eye on me."
Shen Rui nodded.
Huo Jing said to Huo Tian with concern: "Dad, you have to be careful."
Huo Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
The men moved the iron plate blocking the road, and heard several strange screams, and dozens of demon scorpions rushed out from inside. These demon scorpions were several times larger than ordinary scorpions, and their bodies were golden yellow.
Close the iron plate quickly. Huo Tian was shocked and shouted hurriedly.
As soon as the iron plate was removed, a very familiar feeling suddenly arose in Shen Rui's heart. This feeling was somewhat similar to the feeling in the Gold-Eating Tiger Cave, but it seemed much stronger. He had a strong desire to go in. .
Several people tried their best to close the iron plate, and there was another crackling sound from inside. The people swarmed in and beat the dozens of demon scorpions outside to pieces, but a few people were stung on their hands and feet.
Huo Tian took a breath and said: "Damn, there are too many. The ground is full of scorpions and you can't get in. This is going to be difficult. This gold mine is one of the most important assets of my Huo family. The city lord every year I am asked to pay tens of millions of taels of gold. Without it, the strength and reputation of my Huo family will be greatly affected."
Even Huo Tian, who has always been elegant, used swear words, which shows that the situation inside is indeed not optimistic.
He continued: "If we can't drive them away and let these things escape from the cave and hurt people everywhere, the consequences will be even more serious."
Shen Rui said: "Let me go down and give it a try."
Huo Tiandao: "It's useless for you to go in, there are too many demon scorpions inside."
Huo Jing also said: "Brother Shen, I know you want to help, but if my father can't do it, it will be difficult for you to do it because your strength is too low. It's better not to go in. Let's find another way."
At this moment, the steward came over in surprise and said to Huo Tian: "Master, this young man's antidote is really useful. People who were stung by the scorpion are now out of danger."
Shen Rui breathed a sigh of relief and added: "I have medicine to get rid of poisonous insects in my hand. I will go in first to see if it is effective on these scorpions, and then I will decide what to do next."
Huo Tian finally nodded and said, "Okay, be careful and don't force yourself. If anything goes wrong, come out immediately or shout out."
Huo Jing also said: "Brother Shen, be careful."
Shen Rui smiled at the two of them. The Huo family's men had removed the iron plate. Shen Rui lit a torch and held a handful of the powder used by pharmacist Yan to drive away snakes.
Amidst the strange screams, several poisonous scorpions that were about to rush out seemed to smell the smell of medicine on Shen Rui's hand and retreated one after another.
Shen Rui was delighted and said: "It really works."
I remember when pharmacist Yan used this medicine to deal with the fifth-level demon beast Silver Thread Demon King Snake, he almost killed it, and it was no problem to deal with these second-level primary demon beasts. As soon as Shen Rui walked in, the demon scorpions retreated one after another, and when they met For some stubborn scorpions, Shen Rui gave them a little. As soon as these scorpions were stained with the medicinal powder, they immediately emitted a stream of green smoke. When other scorpions saw the death of their companions, they no longer dared to stay and retreated quickly.
There was an unpleasant smell in the cave, and Shen Rui frowned, but did not stop. He held a torch and powder in one hand, and a broken saber in the other, and moved inside step by step. Not long after walking, everything suddenly disappeared. The demon scorpion. The familiar feeling was getting closer and closer, and Shen Rui could feel that the place he was looking for was nearby.
With torches shining everywhere, Shen Rui finally discovered that there was a small hole in a corner of the cave that could accommodate the entrance and exit of the demon scorpion. A strange smell came from inside, but at the same time, Shen Rui's familiar and calling feeling also came from inside.
Shen Rui hesitated in his heart, and Old Soul said: "If you don't go in now, wait until later, the extremely golden place is inside."
His former body was also made of metal, so he was able to confirm the existence of the extremely golden land. After hearing this, Shen Rui waved his long knife and brushed it a few times to make the hole wider. Unexpectedly, the wall of the cave was very hard and could break through any enemy. Even though it was sharp, it only made a small hole.
Old Soul said: "How long can you cut it like this? Use the Vajra Fist."
Hearing this, Shen Rui swallowed his breath, condensed his arms, and shouted loudly. The Vajra Fist was released. He heard a loud bang, stone chips flying, and a range for a person to enter and exit suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. Shen Rui felt a faint pain in his fist. , secretly amazed at the hardness of the stone, but at this time he could no longer think about it so much, and jumped in with a tiger leap.
The demon scorpions retreated one after another. Shen Rui took a closer look and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. There were tens of thousands of demon scorpions concentrated in an area less than a few feet in front of him. These demon scorpions were piled together. Although they did not dare to approach Shen Rui, But they all stared at the uninvited guest in front of them with eager eyes and made terrible screams.
Shen Rui looked around, but didn't see any golden spirit beads. He immediately said: "There are no golden spirit beads here."
Soul Lao thought for a while and said: "It's impossible. If I guess correctly, these demon scorpions are all born from the golden spirit beads."
Shen Rui said: "Then where do you think the Golden Lingzhu will be?"
Old Soul said: "In the place where there are the most demon scorpions."
Shen Rui said: "How can we eliminate so many demon scorpions?"
Soul Lao smiled and said: "The medicinal powder in your hand can destroy fifth-level monsters. Are you afraid of these little things? After you drive these little things away, then sprinkle the medicinal powder on the ground, and they will not dare to Closer."
Shen Rui followed his instructions and slowly moved to the place where the largest group of demon scorpions were. The demon scorpions seemed extremely reluctant to leave that place. Shen Rui often sprinkled some powder on them to teach them a lesson before driving them away. The demon scorpions He drove away, but the Golden Lingzhu was nowhere to be seen.
"Maybe it's underground." Mr. Hun was not sure. After all, he had only heard of this thing but had never looked for it.
