Transmigrating to Douluo Continent, A Moment of Godhood and Demonic Power

Chapter 40 Fierce Battle Against the Poisonous Scorpion King with Pincers (Part 1)

Qian Yuhan was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Mu Chen would discover something amiss with her casual action.

Qian Yuhan thought about it and agreed. Mu Chen was also Uncle Jin E's son, so he must have heard of this kind of pill.

"What? You must have misread it. They're just some ordinary little pills..." Qian Yuhan tried to brush it off like she had when her spirit rings were almost exposed.

But Mu Chen wasn't buying it. He shook his head and said, "There's no way I could be wrong. That's definitely a Xuanling Pill, and its grade is definitely not low. I've smelled the fragrance of a top-grade Xuanling Pill before. The fragrance that emanated when you opened that bottle was exactly the same as the one I smelled before."

Mu Chen stared intently at Qian Yuhan, who calmly continued, "Alright, this thing was obtained by my father by chance."

Qian Yuhan inwardly marveled at herself, thinking she truly deserved an Oscar; her acting was superb. She could tell a lie without batting an eye.

"You got it by luck? And you just gave it away like that?"

"Huh? I didn't know its true value, otherwise I would have given it to a soul beast!!" Qian Yuhan pretended to look regretful, as if she had really lost a treasure.

"Fourth brother, you've acted too recklessly, too recklessly! Each of these top-grade Profound Spirit Pills is a priceless treasure! And what you've done—"

Tang Chen walked over and patted Mu Chen, who looked on with regret for Qian Yuhan, and said, "Fourth brother did the right thing. We can't be like some soul masters who are bloodthirsty, can we? The Stone Monkey Prince's descendants were seriously injured. I think what you did was right."

But that is—

Mu Chen was about to say something when Qian Yuhan raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Hey, Third Brother, I know you mean well, but the things have already been given away, so let's just leave it at that. I'll be more careful next time."

Yes, that's true. Next time, Qian Yuhan will definitely be more careful and won't make such a big fuss about taking out the things he got from Qian Mo.

"Huh? Where's Lin'er?"

When Qian Yuhan looked up and didn't see Hu Lin'er, he asked the others.

Fang Ya: "Lin'er said she was thirsty. She heard the sound of a stream over there and went to scoop up some water to drink. She asked us to wait for her."

Qian Yuhan nodded.

……

By the stream, Hu Lin'er looked at Dai Shengxi with a cold expression and said, "What are you doing?! Don't go too far, I'm telling you!!"

That's right, the mysterious person who met Hu Lin'er in the cafeteria before was Dai Shengxi!

"Heh, Hu Lin'er, how dare you talk to me like that? What, do you think that idiot Qian Yuhan can back you up? Or do you think Qian Yuhan can help your family get through this crisis?"

"You, you bastard!"

Faced with Dai Shengxi's aggressive questioning, Hu Lin'er was momentarily speechless, but still managed to curse back.

"Hahaha, it seems you really like him. Hehe, not bad, not bad."

"I'm warning you, this is the last time I'll do anything for you, and you'd better immediately fulfill the promises we made to each other, otherwise—"

"Lin'er, you're actually threatening me now? Don't forget who provided your family with that working capital a few days ago. This is the last time. After this is done, we'll be even. Now you just need to..."

Dai Shengxi moved closer to Hu Lin'er and whispered something in her ear. After she finished speaking, Hu Lin'er was shocked: "You're crazy! You want to kill Yu Han! No way!"

"You just said you'd help me this last time, so I want you to help me this time. You can't go back on your word."

Dai Shengxi looked at Hu Lin'er with a sly grin and said.

"you--"

Hu Lin'er was speechless. After a few seconds, she sighed and said:

"Okay, I agree. But let's make it clear first, I'm only responsible for leading you to the edge."

Hu Lin'er's mind raced as she tried to figure out how to help Qian Yuhan escape this crisis. She had no clue yet, so in order to keep Dai Shengxi calm and prevent him from doing anything out of line, she could only agree for the time being.

"Hehehe, okay, no problem, hehehe..."

Dai Shengxi chuckled softly as he walked past Hu Lin'er, patting her bottom as he passed!

Hu Lin'er looked angrily at Dai Shengxi, who was walking away step by step.

"That bastard, I will definitely kill him!!" Hu Lin'er muttered in a low voice.

……

The conversation between Dai Shengxi and Hu Lin'er by the stream was overheard by someone hiding in a nearby bush.

"Hehe, this sound-absorbing soul tool is quite useful. Hu Lin'er, Dai Shengxi... Elder Liu, thank you for your help."

An elderly man in a dark blue Taoist robe nodded in agreement, instantly understanding the woman's meaning: to secretly protect someone.

"It's Miss!"

Then it disappeared...

……

"I'm back. Shall we continue? Yu Han, you led me to a place where we bumped into the Crimson Demon Stone Monkey. This time, don't lead the way, let me do it."

Hu Lin'er skipped back to the group and then spoke to them.

The other five nodded in agreement and followed Hu Lin'er deeper into the forest.

For the first part, they could still see some movement from spirit beasts. But after walking for thirty minutes, there was no movement at all; it was completely silent.

Qian Yuhan looked around and saw many more skeletons of soul beasts! A thick green mist surrounded the skeletons.

"Let's... let's not go any further. I... I think I've led you the wrong way too." Hu Lin'er led the group to a sparsely populated place, rarely visited by spirit beasts...

"I think so too, there's something weird about this place."

As Mu Chen spoke, he couldn't help but lean closer to Fang Ya.

As Mu Chen approached, Fang Ya covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking to herself: "Mu Chen is quite thoughtful..."

Fang Ya already had a good impression of Mu Chen, and this trip made her even more fond of him.

"here it is--"

Just as Tang Xuan was about to say something, he saw swarms of small scorpions rapidly approaching, so densely packed that they were enough to give anyone goosebumps.

Fang Ya looked at the little scorpions, as if searching her memory: "This, this looks so much like—"

"What does it look like?" Mu Chen asked.

“They look like pincer scorpions to me. If so, we’d better hurry. If they send a message back, their king will be coming out! Pincer scorpion kings are usually capable of fighting opponents of higher levels and are extremely powerful. They also have very strong venom.”

"poison?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Mu Chen said, intending to pull Fang Ya back the way they came.

"Third brother...it might be too late."

Hearing a strange noise behind him, Tang Xuan felt a surge of alertness and quickly turned around to look.

A gigantic scorpion appeared a hundred meters behind them, its massive body and menacing pincers sending chills down their spines. The scorpion stood there like a small mountain, emanating a suffocating aura. Its appearance instantly blocked their escape route, like an insurmountable barrier.

Tang Xuan's heart sank; he realized he and his companions were in dire straits. Faced with such a powerful enemy, they had almost no chance of escape. Fear began to spread, but Tang Xuan tried to remain calm, knowing that panic would only make things worse.

Mu Chen, pale-faced and trembling, asked, "What should we do?"

Tang Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then answered hesitantly, "I don't know... but we have to find a way to deal with this situation."
