LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 188 A mysterious species that shouldn't appear
Its two pincers were thick and powerful, like a pair of huge iron pincers, ready to attack at any time.
The tail was raised high, and the stinger at the end of the tail flashed a frightening cold light, as if announcing its danger and lethality to the outside world.
Shen Lang's heart tightened, and he clenched the sword in his hand, staring at the scorpion vigilantly.
The scorpion seemed to be angered by Shen Lang's actions. Its pincers swung more violently, making a "click" sound, and the high-raised tail also swayed left and right, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.
"What the hell is this?" Shen Lang frowned and muttered to himself in confusion.
He knew very little about these strange species in the world of cultivation. Facing the huge scorpion he had never seen before, his heart was full of vigilance and confusion.
Then, Shen Lang's eyes condensed, and without any hesitation, he stabbed the sword in his hand into the body of the scorpion again.
With a "puff", the sword sank into the scorpion's body, completely stabbing it to death.
Then, Shen Lang threw it aside.
The scorpion's body rolled a few times on the sand, raising a small piece of dust, and then there was no movement, lying there quietly.
However, the audience outside who watched the situation here through the Xuankong mirror, especially Xing Tianzi, became extremely gloomy after seeing the scorpion, as if a storm was brewing in his heart.
Xing Tianzi's eyes were fixed on the image of the scorpion in the Xuankong mirror, his brows were furrowed, his lips were tightly pursed, and his gloomy face revealed deep worry.
"In this special consciousness space specially opened up by human power, how could a creature like the desert stealth scorpion appear?" Xing Tianzi frowned, full of doubts and confusion, his eyes were full of exploration and thinking.
But after gathering together, they can kill monsters that are hundreds of times more powerful than them without knowing it.
However, when they gather together, they can kill monsters that are hundreds of times stronger than them without making any noise or awareness.
They will quietly approach the target monster when it is unprepared, and then fight together in a very tacit way.
Many small figures attack quickly and agilely, and the seemingly insignificant pincers and tail stings can quickly break through the defense of powerful monsters with the collective power and give them a fatal blow.
Because the most powerful thing about this desert stealth scorpion is that it can lurk under the ground and release a substance with an anesthetic effect.
This substance is very strange and can work silently.
It can paralyze the opponent without the opponent knowing or feeling anything.
As time goes by, this substance will slowly dilute the opponent's spiritual power, making the opponent's spiritual power gradually become thinner and the strength will be greatly weakened.
Often before the opponent reacts, he already feels dizzy and swaying, and then faints on the ground.
At this time, the desert scorpion race will swarm forward.
They gather together densely, and their sharp pincers and sharp tail stings attack together.
They frantically bite the opponent who has lost the ability to resist, and eat it bit by bit. The scene is extremely cruel and bloody.
Fortunately, Shen Lang's perception is extremely sensitive and his reaction is also extremely fast.
In the initial stage, he keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the consumption of his spiritual power.
Shen Lang has always been highly alert to the surrounding environment. When the subtle abnormal fluctuation of spiritual power appeared, he instantly captured this subtle change, so that he could take timely countermeasures to avoid falling into a more dangerous situation.
Xing Tianzi looked serious and asked the honorary elder who stayed here and was responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the Xuankong Mirror:
"The sect competition has been held for so many sessions, but in the past, there has never been any related rumors that there would be desert scorpions in this consciousness space."
This consciousness space has been showing a trend of becoming more and more unstable year by year.
In order to keep it running for a few more years, the Tiandao League was so cautious that it didn't dare to increase the number of people entering it.
Therefore, in the previous sect competitions, except for the 100 carefully selected talented and talented people, there were no other living creatures in it.
Just because one more living creature enters, it will consume more precious energy contained in this space.
At this moment, the honorary elder of the Tiandao League also looked quite ugly.
No matter how to explain it, there were mistakes and omissions in the area and occasion they were responsible for.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes showed anxiety and uneasiness, and he was thinking quickly about the countermeasures in his heart.
However, this mistake must never be publicly admitted to the outside world.
Therefore, the Honorary Elder took a tough stance and said in a very stubborn manner:
"You should know that this is the consciousness space left behind by the Ascended Great Power. In it, even the stone tablet can generate spiritual intelligence, so it is normal for something to appear in the space."
The Honorary Elder tried to cover up this mistake with a tough attitude.
His tone was firm, as if he believed in what he said and tried to shut up the crowd.
"Why has it never happened before? Why did it happen in this session?" Xing Tianzi asked angrily, his eyes full of suspicion and anger.
He did not hesitate to conclude that this must be the Zhou family secretly bribing the people of the Tiandao League and making trouble behind the scenes.
It was a pity that he failed to prepare for the rainy day and thought of such a thing in advance.
Otherwise, he would never let the Zhou family's conspiracy succeed.
Xing Tianzi was full of regret at this moment, hating himself for not seeing through the other party's trick in advance, so that things developed to such an unfavorable situation now.
But the honorary elder responded confidently: "If I remember correctly, the disciples of your Lingxiao Sword Pavilion did not even make it into the top 100 in the last sect competition.
They withdrew from the competition early and were not qualified to participate in this round. What's the point of you being so picky now?"
The honorary elder straightened his back while speaking, his expression full of matter-of-factness, staring straight at Xing Tianzi, without any intention of retreating.
The implication of his words was clearly that since they did not even have the qualifications to participate, how could they be so ignorant and reckless as to compare the situation of the previous session with this session.
