Chapter 378: Encountering Quicksand and Falling into the Round Platform
The yellow sand blocked the view. Leng Zhuxin stood surrounded by the fire scorpions with a cold face, and the strange fire spread out into a net.
Trying to use strange fire to get rid of these eighth-level fire scorpions.
The strange fire is much more powerful than the ordinary fire, but for some reason, in the ghost hand vine forest, the flames on the ghost hand vine forest and the fire scorpion.
When it encountered the strange fire, there was no sign of being swallowed.
The intensity of these flames is almost the same as that of the strange fire!
However, the strange fire net still blocked their attack.
Leng Zhuxin did not use the Bingchen Sword Technique, but the Pitian Sword Technique.
Chop straight towards the ground.
The powerful sword energy created a crack in the ground, revealing the fire scorpion hiding under the yellow sand.
These four fire scorpions are much larger than other fire scorpions, and have hairs on their bodies that stand up like stingers.
The front paws were also waving towards Leng Zhuxin, and there was the same flame between the scorpion's paws as on the scorpion's tail.
The orange-red flames were thrown out along with their movements, and even the yellow sand on the ground seemed to be ignited.
The scorpion shells on their bodies were very hard, and the sword that Leng Zhuxin had just swung only left a faint mark on their shells, without causing any fatal damage.
The scorpion's weak points are in its stomach, the connection between its shell and its body, and its mouth.
These fire scorpions rarely open their mouths, and their stomachs are always close to the ground.
It is difficult to wait for them to reveal their flaws and find an opportunity to attack.
As for the connection between the carapace and the shell, it is only exposed for a moment when they stretch their bodies, every time they use their scorpion legs or tail to hurt people.
It's not so fragile that it can be easily pried open with a sword, it's just softer than the shell.
Leng Zhuxin planned to use their shells as a breakthrough point, and she took the initiative to withdraw the strange fire in one direction.
At the same time, he took out a long whip with his left hand.
Animals are animals. They don't have much intelligence and can't recognize that this is a trap.
When the strange fire net was removed, it swung its huge scorpion tail ferociously and stung Leng Zhuxin.
But just when the scorpion's tail was about to pierce Leng Zhuxin, Leng Zhuxin looked at the gap in the shell that had been stretched and exposed.
He swung the whip in his left hand quickly, wrapping the scorpion's tail accurately and steadily, and pulled it back with force, forcing the fire scorpion to be unable to retract its tail directly.
At the same time, the Bingjian moved as he wished and stabbed towards the gap in the shell.
The fire scorpion struggled hard to break free, but it was of no avail. Not only that, when the ice sword was firmly inserted into the gap.
Leng Zhuxin swung up with the whip and landed steadily on the back of the fire scorpion.
There was a flame burning on the back of the fire scorpion, but it was nothing to Leng Zhuxin, who was carrying a strange fire and possessed both the Heavenly Ice Spirit Root and the Heavenly Fire Spirit Root.
She swung the whip hard, and it became longer again, wrapping around the fire scorpion's legs.
He held the Bing Sword in his right hand and pried it out, and a large piece of the shell was lifted up by the Bing Sword.
The fire scorpion felt pain and wanted to burrow into the yellow sand again to escape, but its feet were tied, making it temporarily unable to move.
The three fire scorpions nearby also gathered around, but were stopped by the rising strange fire net.
Leng Zhuxin's face was splashed with the blood of the fire scorpion, which added a bit of murderous aura to her.
He held the whip tightly in his left hand, and inserted the Bingjian into the flame scorpion's body with his right hand. With another poke, a piece of the shell was pulled off.
The blood flowed into the yellow sand, turning the sand into dark red.
The fire scorpion seemed ready to fight to the death and struggled violently.
The whip used by Leng Zhuxin is mainly made of thousand-year-old silkworm silk, with other refining materials such as flame iron crystal added. It is made after ninety-nine days of quenching.
Not only is it not easy to break free, it is also extremely fire-resistant.
No matter how hard the Fire Scorpion tried, it couldn't break free and could only be stabbed in the heart by Leng Zhuxin's sword.
The fire scorpion, whose heart was pierced, struggled several times before it lost its life.
The scorpion's tail also drooped weakly.
Leng Zhuxin quickly dug out the inner core of the fire scorpion and cut off its stinger.
These are the two most valuable things on the Fire Scorpion.
In addition, the fire on these fire scorpions is different from that of ordinary people. If a cultivator with fire spiritual roots uses the inner elixir for cultivation, it will definitely be more beneficial than other inner elixirs.
Gu Wangchen is a cultivator with fire spiritual roots, and Leng Zhuxin plans to give all four inner cores to Gu Wangchen.
As for the scorpion's tail stinger, it is the hardest part of the fire scorpion's body and is poisonous.
The poison can be made into a special powder to restrain monks.
When Keling Powder is used on a monk, just a little bit of it can paralyze his entire body, which is the same effect as being stung by a fire scorpion's tail.
Most monks carry some with them, which can be used to save their lives if they encounter enemies.
Almost no one would use it to harm others.
The Kling Powder made from these eighth-level fire scorpion venoms is much more effective than ordinary ones.
At the very least, there is no problem in making a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage feel unconscious for an hour.
So Leng Zhuxin planned to refine it into Keling Powder and give some to Gu Wangchen and the others.
The flame scorpion tail stinger that has been detoxified can be used to refine weapons, especially spears and arrows. Leng Zhuxin plans to refine it into flying needles.
This way, next time you encounter a mechanism, you can break it with just one flying needle.
After she had taken everything she could use from the fire scorpion, she used the same method to deal with the second fire scorpion.
After two of their companions died in succession, the remaining fire scorpion became afraid.
Without waiting for Leng Zhuxin to attack them, they quickly fled under the yellow sand.
But no matter how fast they are, they can't be faster than Leng Zhuxin.
The Shenbing Sword and the whip were used at the same time, and the whip wrapped around the tail of a fire scorpion before it could retract into the yellow sand.
With a strong pull, he pulled it out from under the yellow sand and threw it into the ghost hand vine.
The other one was blocked by the Shenbing Sword and was trying to escape by the Shenbing Sword.
Leng Zhuxin blasted up the yellow sand with one punch.
At the same time, he flew forward without any fear, stretched out his hand to grab the Shenbing Sword and pulled it upwards.
The strange fire attached to the yellow sand, blocking the fire scorpion's way.
Leng Zhuxin held the Shenbing Sword, and when the fire scorpion raised its front legs, he slid under the fire scorpion.
He thrust the ice sword upwards and twisted the hilt twice vigorously.
When the fire scorpion was about to press down, he picked up the fire scorpion and flipped it over, turning its belly upwards.
The Shenbing Sword was firmly stuck in the heart of the Flame Scorpion, and blood flowed from the scorpion's mouth.
Leng Zhuxin casually wiped the blood off his face with his hand, and his blurred vision became clear again.
She pulled out the Shenbing Sword and stabbed it into the Flame Scorpion's body again with a clean and decisive move, then pulled out the inner core with a powerful effort.
At the same time, he swung a sword and cut off the scorpion's tail.
After shaking off the blood on Shen Bing's sword, she walked over to the Flame Scorpion that was tied up with a whip.
Although the fire scorpion's tail and legs were tied up, it saw Leng Zhuxin coming.
The scorpion's mouth was still attacking Leng Zhuxin, and balls of poisonous flames spewed out from the mouth of the fire scorpion.
But it couldn't cause any harm to Leng Zhuxin.
It was obvious that every ball of poisonous flame was sprayed towards Leng Zhuxin's face, but Leng Zhuxin would always dodge it.
Leng Zhuxin was very fast. Before the Flame Scorpion could close its mouth, he had already controlled the Shenbing Sword and pierced the Flame Scorpion's throat.
Blood spurted out, drawing tracks in the air like an ink painting, and then fell to the ground.
After dealing with the four fire scorpions, Leng Zhuxin began to deal with the ghost hand vines that kept multiplying and approaching.
But he had just retracted the whip that was wrapped around the last fire scorpion, and he didn't even have time to use a cleansing spell to clean the blood stains on his body.
The yellow sand under my feet began to rotate again.
Soon, a quicksand pit formed under Leng Zhuxin's feet.
The quicksand pit quickly submerged her feet, and the ghost hand vines around her quickly retreated.
Leng Zhuxin reacted extremely quickly and used his whip to wrap around a ghost hand vine outside the quicksand pit, trying to use the force to fly out.
In fact, her first reaction when the quicksand formed was to leave with luck.
But she found that the moment the quicksand formed, she could no longer use her luck, as if she was suppressed by some force.
This was the last resort for him to resort to the most primitive method, using the power of the Ghost Hand Vine to get himself out.
But the quicksand pit formed very quickly. The moment the whip wrapped around the ghost hand vine, the entire quicksand pit expanded by a full double.
Leng Zhuxin was sucked into the quicksand along with the ghost hand vine.
When she woke up again, she was already underground.
Heat waves were rolling all around, and Leng Zhuxin was lying on the circular platform in the middle.
There were only one or two ghost hand vines that were dragged down by the quicksand along with her, scattered on the circular platform, crawling towards Leng Zhuxin.
Leng Zhuxin stood up, summoned the Shenbing Sword, and cut off the Ghost Hand Vine with one sword.
He picked up the whip that fell on the platform, walked carefully to the edge of the platform and looked down.
There were raging flames and red magma beneath the platform.
In some places, large orange-red bubbles were still coming out, and when the bubbles burst, sparks flew everywhere.
Opposite the circular platform is a circular platform with a distance of about 40 meters between the platform and the circular platform. There is an identical stone gate in each direction of east, west, south and north.
Four lifelike Vermilion Birds are carved on the stone gate.
There is a flame in its mouth, and the flame at its tail is extremely brilliant, just like a real flame.
Leng Zhuxin just stared at the Vermillion Bird on one of the stone gates for a while, and felt very uncomfortable in his eyes.
