Chapter 94 The Arrogant Twin Brothers
Red Flame Volcano.
The twin siblings and Yuan Shuo were being chased back and forth, encountering those fiery monsters wherever they went.
Wu Tianyu released his Gu worms with a heavy heart. After staying here for a few days, almost half of his Gu worms had died.
If it weren't for the support of so many healing Gu, they would have collapsed on this volcano long ago.
"What kind of place is this? Why are there so many volcanoes? Why are there only three of us? Why is there no one else here?" Wu Tianyu felt like he was seeing a ghost. Such a large area, and there were only the three of them.
"And there are even quite a few fourth-tier Golden Core stage demonic beasts!" This is what made him want to vomit blood. Logically speaking, shouldn't Golden Core stage demonic beasts be rare in such ruins that only allow cultivators below the Golden Core stage to enter?
"Watch out!" Wu Tianya shouted from behind, addressing Yuan Shuo who was standing beside her.
Because from the desert behind Yuan Shuo, one after another fiery scorpion suddenly crawled out. These scorpions were not large, but their stingers were burning with raging flames.
Before Wu Tianyu could even finish his warning, the stingers of the scorpions on the other side shot out from behind.
Most importantly, these scorpion stingers will explode as soon as they touch an object, and the explosion of so many stingers at once makes a deafening sound.
…
"Young Master, can we make our move this time?" The pink snake, coiled atop a volcano, asked the fiery red ball of fluff behind it.
Since Gu Zhuo ate a lot of flame crystals after arriving at the Crimson Flame Volcano, his entire little dumpling has turned fiery red, and even his head is emitting small sparks.
"Young Master, if we don't act now, they'll be gone! There are several fourth-tier Crimson Flame Scorpions in there!" The pink snake was extremely anxious. Over the past few days, he had grown quite fond of the disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect and did not want to see them lose their lives.
"What's your hurry? Didn't you see that the young master has already made his move?" Eagle Five kicked the little snake with one claw.
The pink snake turned its head and discovered that a fiery red phantom had appeared among the group of fire scorpions. The phantom folded its wings and gathered several people who had been blown unconscious in the middle. All the fire scorpions' fiery stingers were stained with a fiery red light and then returned to the group of scorpions, exploding around them.
The enormous phantom didn't notice that one of the three people wasn't completely unconscious. Yuan Shuo forced his eyes open and looked up at the sky, his eyes glowing with a fiery red light.
The next second, Yuan Shuo lost consciousness and closed his eyes.
In the center of the phantom, all the Gu worms trembled and swarmed around the twins' clothes, scrambling to crawl back into the spirit worm pouches on their bodies.
After a while, the healing Gu in the spirit insect bag quietly crawled out. They poked their small heads out, and finding no danger around, they quickly crawled onto the three people to treat the unconscious ones.
When Wu Tianya woke up, she saw her younger brother's face covered in saliva from the medical gu poison. Seeing his snow-white face turn waxy yellow, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Damn it, it's those fire scorpions again!" Wu Tianyu was furious. They had encountered these scorpions before, and they had stolen the fire crystals that they had worked so hard to collect!
The Flame Crystal was something they discovered when they arrived at this Crimson Flame Volcano. It was more spiritually concentrated than ordinary Flame Crystals. For cultivators with fire spirit roots, this Flame Crystal not only allowed them to recover quickly, but also had the effect of tempering their bodies with flames.
Although it's not as fast as those body-tempering techniques, this kind of flame crystal won't cause any damage to the body after use. The reason they've been able to stay here for so long is because of the attraction of this flame crystal.
Even though Wu Tianya didn't have a fire-type spiritual root, she still used this fire crystal to train her body.
"These fire scorpions are all dead." At this moment, Yuan Shuo, who had stood up at some point, suddenly said.
"What? They're all dead?" Wu Tianyu exclaimed in surprise. He stood up abruptly and looked into the distance, only to discover a pile of fire scorpion corpses lying in the desert.
A gust of wind blew by, and the flames on the swarm of fire scorpions began to surge violently, making the entire desert seem to be engulfed in a sea of fire, with scorching heat blowing in from the wind.
Once the fire had subsided, the three of them slowly walked over to investigate.
Wu Tianyu watched as the group of fire scorpions turned into fiery red flame crystals, grinning from ear to ear.
"So the Flame Crystals are actually formed from the dead scorpions! There are so many Flame Crystals on the ground, we're going to be rich!" Wu Tianyu ran over quickly, like a mouse that had suddenly discovered a delicious meal, his face beaming with joy.
"I've struck gold! I can use crystals to cultivate even more Fire Gu Insects!" Wu Tianyu was practically spinning with joy.
"But why are all these fire scorpions killed by their own poisonous stingers?" Wu Tianya walked over and saw that some fire scorpions that had not yet turned into crystals had their own stingers stuck in their bodies.
"Since it's their own stinger, these fire scorpions must have some resistance. How could they have been blown up like this?" Wu Tianya was already unconscious at the time and didn't see the fiery red phantom at all.
Only Yuan Shuo recalled the shadow he had seen before he lost consciousness and fell into deep thought.
"Perhaps a monster saved us," he guessed.
"A monster saved us? How is that possible?" Wu Tianyu didn't believe it. If it were insects that saved them, he might have thought it was possible.
Yuan Shuo didn't continue speaking. He followed the two people in front and collected all the fire crystals. However, while collecting the crystals, he glanced in the direction of Crimson Flame Mountain.
"Since the three of us discovered it, we'll divide these flame crystals equally." Wu Tianya glanced at the crystals the two people handed her, and quickly divided them into three portions, putting one portion into each of her storage bags.
"We collected quite a few Flame Crystals before! They were all snatched away by those scorpions. Now they're all gone. Let's go to the Flame Scorpion's lair and take all those crystals back!" Wu Tianyu clenched his fist tightly.
She even tossed her head and said arrogantly, "If we find those flame crystals, maybe we can leave some for Lan Yue and the others. But we can only give them a little bit!"
However, after arriving at the Crimson Flame Scorpion's lair, he immediately took out a storage bag and put the flame crystals inside.
"Just this little bit!" he gestured with his little finger.
Wu Tianya, who was standing to the side, couldn't stop laughing. "You put all that little bit of stuff in such a big storage bag?"
Of all his body, his mouth is the toughest!
…
Here, all the people from the Southern Spirit Sect and the Northern Ridge Holy Land have disappeared.
Yunxi landed in a medicinal herb garden. Among those who landed in the same garden were several disciples of the Southern Spirit Sect and even a few people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land.
"The people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land actually accidentally entered the formation?" Yunxi looked over curiously, but she quickly forgot about them.
She had just accidentally stepped on a vine, which lashed her off, causing her to roll onto the ground.
Fortunately, the vines entwined around the herb garden did not have any murderous intent, otherwise they would all have been swept away.
"Junior Sister Yun, this place is very strange. We must be careful. We don't know where Senior Sister and Lan Yue were taken by those leaves." One of the senior brothers said with a serious expression.
"Senior Brother Lin, please don't touch those vines around you, or they will whip you." Yunxi had a red welt on her arm from being whipped. Her spiritual energy was currently suppressed, and she couldn't use it to heal her wound. She could only feel the pain as it throbbed.
"This should be the owner of the ruins' herb garden. We may have entered the core area. Perhaps this is a test from the ruins for us," Lin Nian guessed, looking at the herbs around him.
The moment the assessment was mentioned, the anxiety on the faces of the surrounding disciples vanished instantly, and their eyes lit up.
If they encounter this kind of assessment, it means that they may be able to inherit the tradition!
Unexpectedly, the formation they entered by accident contained what they were looking for!
"An assessment?" Yunxi pondered, looking at the short-statured medicinal herbs around her.
If they came to the Spirit Herb Garden, then where did Lan Yue and Senior Sister Qing Zhu go?
Are there any other assessments required for this place?
