Chapter 99: Chapter 86: Thousand Faces Never Expected to Be Exposed in Such a Socially Crippling Way
It used its tongue to roll up a roasted scorpion and shoved it straight into its mouth.
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm’s eyes lit up afterward. Oh my, this is too delicious.
A scorpion that tastes like crispy chicken.
Moreover, this scorpion has a faint salty taste; it’s surprisingly good.
The Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm ate the roasted scorpion in silence.
Zhang Dashan, on the other hand, watched as the Nine Poisonous Giant Scorpion and the Dragon Turtle began to fight.
"Ha ha."
Wu Laoqi burst into laughter.
"Now, my Nine Poisonous Giant Scorpion’s venomous army should have succeeded."
"No one can escape the attack of the venomous army."
The Black Tortoise’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this. Damn, it fell for the trick.
A hint of brilliance flashed in Wu Laoqi’s eyes. At this moment, the giant scorpion tail directly stabbed toward the Black Tortoise’s back.
If it hits the Black Tortoise, it will be immediately killed by the venom of the Nine Poisonous Giant Scorpion.
Once the Black Tortoise is dead, the remaining ones will be chicken feed.
Boom.
A Hellfire suddenly appeared, grabbing the Nine Poisonous Giant Scorpion’s tail with its giant rock hand.
It pulled sharply, and with a sound like a bouncing cotton, the tail of the Nine Poisonous Giant Scorpion was forcibly torn off, causing it to let out a hoarse roar.
"Hellfire?"
Wu Laoqi’s eyes widened.
"Weren’t you already affected by the Blood Gu?"
"How can you still summon Hellfire?"
"Logically, your power should have dropped to Tier Three by now."
Wu Laoqi’s words made Zhang Dashan frown.
"It seems you are an insider."
"Maybe even a participant."
"Very well, Hellfire, capture him."
"I want to interrogate him personally and find out the truth about me getting affected by the Gu from his mouth."
At this moment, the furious Nine Poisonous Giant Scorpion, wielding its massive pincers, charged at the Hellfire.
In the instant it touched the Hellfire, black flames fell onto the Nine Poisonous Giant Scorpion’s pincers.
Wu Laoqi’s pupils suddenly contracted. He obviously knew how formidable the Hellfire was.
"Quick, Nine Poisonous Giant Scorpion, quickly cut off your two pincers."
As soon as Wu Laoqi finished speaking, the Nine Poisonous Giant Scorpion’s body was engulfed by black flames.
It twisted in pain within the flames, and finally fell silent.
The Nine Poisonous Giant Scorpion died, and the contract broke.
Red blood trickled from the corner of Wu Laoqi’s mouth.
"After all the calculations, it ultimately failed."
Black flame burst from Wu Laoqi’s body, and withstanding the burning pain of the flames, he looked calmly at Zhang Dashan.
"In this round, I lost."
"But, I will be back."
"Don’t think you can control my soul!"
"I know you have that ability."
Wu Laoqi’s body gradually transformed into a giant scarecrow.
The black flame burned on the scarecrow, crackling, and quickly turned it to ashes.
"I didn’t expect Wu Laoqi actually contracted a decoy scarecrow."
"He managed to escape."
"But losing two Pet Beasts, his strength is bound to decline significantly."
"Qing Xian, I’ve already prepared your plane. You must leave as soon as possible."
Just today alone, they encountered so many dangers. If Su Qingxian were to die here, Zhang Dashan figured he would never forgive himself for life.
Just then, Ye Bai suddenly noticed a gray mist appearing not far from the corner of the research lab.
Judging from the intensity of the gray mist, it was at least Tier Five or above.
"Could it be someone is there?"
"That killer called Thousand Faces?"
Ye Bai pondered silently, calculating how to publicly expose Thousand Faces.
At this time, Ye Bai saw stinger bees shuttling back and forth in the flower bushes.
This is a kind of Tier One bee-type Exotic Beast, with a relatively gentle personality. They shuttle among the flowers to collect nectar.
However, this Exotic Beast has one characteristic: they are very interested in the nectar of Sunflowers.
Previously, when the Cultivation House was brewing honey, it attracted a large number of stinger bees every day.
Although these Exotic Beasts are non-toxic, they have one trait: their sting is extremely painful.
It’s a burning sensation, like a thousand needles pricking the fingers.
As long as they’re not provoked, the stinger bees generally won’t attack proactively.
Due to clearing the Beast Tide, a large number of Tier Two Sunflowers proliferated.
Zhang Lingxue’s entire research lab, including its surroundings, was full of Tier Two Sunflowers, which were stationed there by Ye Bai to guard the herbs.
Ye Bai was deeply worried that such valuable herbs would be stolen, and the Sunflowers could serve as excellent lookouts.
When someone is caught stealing herbs, they will lash the intruders mercilessly with Vine Whips.
He whispered something to the Sunflowers.
Ye Bai’s instructions were immediately transmitted to the Sunflower King.
Thousand Faces was crouched at the corner, his talent being he could blend in like a chameleon, changing his body’s color to match the surroundings.
The perimeter of the research lab was lined with a circle of Tier Two Sunflowers.
Several stinger bees were also shuttling among the Sunflowers, though they were a bit disappointed that these sunflower petals didn’t have much nectar.
Just then, the Sunflower petals drooped down.
Golden and transparent droplets of nectar began to fall.
The nectar dripped onto Thousand Faces’ clothes, and unaware, he continued to crouch, secretly searching for an opportunity to strike.
Thousand Faces didn’t notice, but the stinger bees did immediately.
They buzzed, fluttering their wings as they flew over.
