C4592 A Group of Scorpion Demons!
"Brother Chen Xiao, are you saying that there is a problem with this secret realm?"
Chen Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this secret realm is too strange. If my guess is correct, the entire secret realm is a huge array formation space. The mana that we disappeared from was absorbed by the secret realm."
Since the Five Elements could be turned into Five Elements Death Land, it meant that this secret realm was created by someone.
This meant that for the cultivators who entered the secret realm, there was definitely a way out. No one would create a place that was guaranteed to die. If that was the case, even the creator would not be able to enter. It was obviously unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao's worried heart was lessened by half.
Hiss ~
The Third Prince could not help but take in a cold breath of air. His eyes were filled with shock as he said, "This, no wonder. Father said that the return passageway would open in ten years. In other words, ordinary cultivators can only stay in this secret realm for at most ten years. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to resist the loss of mana."
"Right, your royal father’s words are clearly a reminder." Chen Xiao said.
The Third Prince nodded and said, "Fortunately, we have prepared a large amount of pills to replenish our magic power. We won't have to worry about it for a short period of time."
As the saying goes, there is no harm in being prepared.
Before entering the secret realm, the two of them had prepared for a long time. Other than a large number of Xuanji puppets and talismans, they had prepared even more pills.
At this moment, they were still a little fortunate.
"As expected, there is no harm in being prepared." Chen Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
The Third Prince also heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Chen Xiao, it seems like we don't have to worry too much. After preparing so many pills, it should be enough. It's just that we will be leaving after ten years."
Obviously, the Third Prince was a little apprehensive in his heart. Although treasures were good, they had to be enjoyed with life.
If they could leave the secret realm alive, it would be the best.
Chen Xiao's face darkened as he thought for a moment. He said, "I hope it's like this. However, if there is another battle and our magic power is greatly consumed, I'm afraid these pills might not be enough."
"This..." The Third Prince was also shocked. Chen Xiao's words made sense, and he immediately became a lot more depressed.
Chen Xiao saw this and patted his shoulder, consoling him, "There will always be a way out. Worrying about the future is useless. Don't think too much."
"Yes, we can only take one step at a time. What should we do next?" The Third Prince said.
Chen Xiao's face was cold as he said, "Since we are here, we can't return empty-handed. We have to go and challenge it."
The Third Prince hesitated for a moment, but he still nodded and said, "Alright."
"En, let's go and investigate the surrounding situation first."
Immediately, the two of them left the temporary cave abode in the canyon and searched the outside. After the experience of being attacked by the Wind Bats, the two of them were especially careful this time.
As the two of them moved forward, they flew close to the ground and tried to reduce unnecessary movements to avoid attracting trouble.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
On this day, the two of them stopped at an inconspicuous small hill and hid behind a huge rock carefully, concealing their figures in case they were discovered.
"It's a scorpion demon." The Third Prince's eyes widened as he stared at the ground in front of him.
He saw a group of scorpion demons roaming back and forth, looking very undisciplined. There were more than a hundred of them. The strongest scorpion demon at the peak of the Tribulation Transcender Realm led the pack.
Chen Xiao nodded. "They are indeed scorpion demons. Such demonic beasts can be seen everywhere in the desert. They feed on spirit mines. Since there are scorpion demons here, it means that there is a spirit mine nearby. As long as we have this spirit mine, the problem of our mana consumption will be solved."
"Really? That's great." The Third Prince was overjoyed when he heard this.
He had been frowning and worried about his mana consumption before. He never thought that he would be so lucky. It was really a piece of cake.
"Brother Chen Xiao, let's go and fight. That is a spirit mine." The Third Prince looked at Chen Xiao and said firmly.
He knew the value of a spirit mine better than anyone else. Even in the vast Divine Dynasty, there was only one spirit mine, located underground in the Divine Capital.
Unexpectedly, there was a spirit ore vein in this secret realm. It was simply unbelievable.
He was completely unable to imagine where this secret realm came from.
Hearing that, Chen Xiao teased, "Why, aren't you afraid now?"
The Third Prince scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. Is there really someone in this world who isn't afraid of death? But compared to this spirit ore vein, my life is nothing."
"Heh, you are quite scheming. But what you said is right. Such a good opportunity is placed in front of us, how can we miss it?"
Chen Xiao said in a deep voice.
"Then let's do it?"
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "We will split into two groups. You will attract the attention of these scorpions, and I will go and sneak attack and kill them unprepared."
"Alright, but Brother Chen Xiao, you have to be quick. Otherwise, I will be swallowed by these scorpions."
The Third Prince said with a nervous face.
If he was not afraid of death, it was naturally fake. Furthermore, he had to face nearly a hundred scorpions. Among them, there were more than ten scorpions at the Tribulation Transcender Realm, so they could not be underestimated.
Chen Xiao patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry."
"Yes."
"Let's go."
Immediately, the two of them split up and moved separately.
On the yellow desert, the scorpions were gathered in twos and threes. Their bodies were sturdy, and they patrolled back and forth. Their cold eyes revealed a trace of impatience.
Suddenly, the Third Prince made his move. Dozens of fireballs descended from the sky, carrying a shocking aura. The heat was astonishing, and they smashed towards the group of scorpions.
"Pa!"
"Pa! Pa!"
Explosions sounded out on the ground, mixed with the smell of burning. With just one strike, more than ten scorpions with weaker strength were burned to death.
Suddenly, a stone stirred up a thousand waves. All the scorpions were alarmed and angered.
The scorpion leader, who was at the peak of the Tribulation Transcender Realm, was more than ten feet tall. His ice-cold yellow pupils stared straight at the Third Prince's direction, and he let out an angry howl.
"Roar ~"
Accompanied by the howl, the rest of the scorpions pounced towards the Third Prince without caring about their own lives. They advanced in a grandiose manner, raising a sandstorm that filled the sky. The sound shook the heavens, as if the earth was trembling.
It had to be said that this group of scorpion demons had a very shocking aura, and their movements were quite loud.
"Unfortunately, their speed is too slow, causing me to be on tenterhooks."
The Third Prince smiled slightly, turned his head and walked away calmly. At the same time, he had the Black Puppet to cover the rear, in case of an accident.
As a result, he ran in front, while the scorpion demons chased after him from behind. They were neither too fast nor too slow, and they chased after him from afar.
"Good chance. This kid is doing quite well."
At this time, Chen Xiao, who was hiding at the side, decisively made a move. The two of them cooperated well.
