The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

There are two marked points where the black scorpion is, and it is also the only way for Matthew to go to other marked points.

Taking out the cloud cover and covering himself, Matthew hid in the side road and observed the black scorpion.

He planned to wait until the black scorpion had eaten its fill and left before coming out.

He didn't know the black scorpion and didn't know its strength, so naturally he wouldn't take action rashly.

The black scorpion didn't notice that Matthew was hiding not far from him, still munching on the corpse.

Although black scorpions are quite big, they eat very slowly.

It can even be described as chewing slowly.

Matthew waited for half an hour before he saw the black scorpion eating the corpse.

Just as the black scorpion was about to leave after eating, a sudden voice came from another fork in the road.

Matthew frowned immediately when he heard this, but did not make any move.

The black scorpion, who was about to leave, was also attracted by the sudden sound. A pair of small eyes stared at the fork in the road where the sound came from, and the long tail behind him stood up in a fighting posture.

Under the gaze of Matthew and Black Scorpion, a figure rushed out from the fork in the road.

This man was young, he looked less than thirty years old, and he was wearing Jiuxing Sect clothes.

When this man came out of the fork in the road, his face was full of horror. When he saw a huge black scorpion in front of him, he was even more frightened and screamed.

Without any hesitation, the Nine Star Sect monk took out a talisman from his storage bag.

After being activated, the talisman transformed into a firebird with wings spread out a foot long.

"Firebird Talisman!" After seeing the firebird appear, Matthew's expression changed slightly.

This is a mid-level talisman. Only foundation-building monks can draw it. This person actually owns such a talisman.

After the firebird appeared, it flapped its wings and flew towards the black scorpion.

Seeing this, the black scorpion hissed and swung its body towards the firebird.

As soon as the black scorpion moved, the firebird opened its mouth and immediately sprayed out a pillar of fire.

The black scorpion did not dare to directly meet the fire pillar, and swayed its thin legs to dodge to the side.

After driving away the black scorpion with one blow, the firebird flapped its wings and sprayed flames towards the black scorpion again.

The fire bird suppressed the black scorpion, but the Nine Star Sect monk's face showed no joy at all, and his eyes kept looking at the fork in the road he came out of.

At this time, a cracking sound came.

Matthew looked over hurriedly and saw that the fork in the road had been forcibly broken.

A huge bloody centipede rushed out.

"Flying blood centipede!" The moment he saw the centipede, Matthew almost exclaimed.

When he came to the battlefield, he had seen many flying blood centipedes.

But I never would have thought that there would be such a thing under this mineral vein.

As far as he knew, the flying blood centipede was unique to the Blood Cloud Sect, so how could it appear here.

Matthew felt that his brain was a little overwhelmed.

When he looked at the flying blood centipede again, he found something different.

Although the flying blood centipede in front of him was large enough, it was still a little different from what he had seen before.

This one was not as big as the ones that attacked Qingyun Zhou, and it had no wings.

"This flying blood centipede must be underage." Matthew guessed in his mind.

After the Nine Star Sect monk saw the flying blood centipede coming out, he ran away without even thinking about it.

As luck would have it, the direction of his escape was exactly the fork in the road where Matthew was hiding.

There were many wounds on the flying blood centipede's head, some of which still contained dark green liquid.

Seeing that the Nine-Star Sect monk was about to run away, Feitian Xuegui let out a roar and swung his thin legs under his feet.

After the flying blood centipede appeared, the Firebird immediately gave up on the black scorpion and turned to attack the flying blood centipede.

Seeing this, the black scorpion that was pressed down and beaten by the firebird actually ran away through the broken path.

The flying blood centipede that was about to pursue him was extremely angry when he saw the fire bird blocking him.

It sprayed out streams of dark green gas from its mouth to attack the firebird.

But the fire bird is transformed by spiritual energy and will not have the slightest fear.

Facing the dark green gas, he continuously ejected pillars of fire from his mouth to fight back.

While the fire bird was fighting with the flying blood centipede, the Nine Star Sect monks had already entered the fork in the road where Matthew was.

This person also threw out a few talismans when he left.

After being activated, the talisman turned into several fireballs and flew towards the flying blood centipede.

Matthew was hiding under the cloud cover and was not noticed by this person.

After he recognized the talisman, he ran away without looking back.

Now, it was Matthew's turn to be in trouble.

He knew that the road behind him was his retreat. If he followed the Nine Star Sect monks and left, his mission would definitely be considered a failure.

But if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be confident that he could deal with the flying blood centipede.

What worries him the most is that he is not sure how many flying blood centipedes there are here. It would be okay if there is only one.

Just as Matthew was thinking about what to do, a scream came from behind him.

My heart trembled, and I hurriedly scanned it with my spiritual consciousness.

I saw that the Nine Star Sect monk had fallen to the ground four or five feet away from him.

In front of it lies a black scorpion.

Matthew originally saw the black scorpion escaping from the fork in the road and didn't take it seriously. However, he never thought that this guy had sneaked into the fork in the road where he was and even attacked the Nine Star Sect monk.

Just one look at Matthew and he already knew that the Jiuxing Sect monk would definitely die.

The black scorpion's formidable tail hook had pierced the man's head.

After taking care of the Nine Star Sect monks, Black Scorpion must have been full and did not look at the corpse on the ground. Turned around and left.

Seeing this, Matthew's thoughts changed rapidly and he hurriedly followed.

When passing the corpse, Matthew took away the storage bag on the corpse.

His movements were very careful, and the black scorpion in front of him didn't notice at all.

When he thought about it, since the black scorpion could appear here, there must be a secret passage nearby that connected the two forked roads.

As Matthew expected, a gap appeared in the middle of the forked road.

After seeing the black scorpion crawling into the gap, Matthew followed closely behind.

When he passed here before, there was no such gap. It should have been dug by the black scorpion just now.

Matthew was now a little curious about the identity of this scorpion, which was able to quietly open up two forked roads in such a short period of time.

When Matthew entered the gap, the doubts in his heart were immediately solved.

This passage was not opened by black scorpions. Looking at the smooth appearance around it, you can tell that it was dug by humans.

The reason why he hadn't noticed it before was because the two ends of this secret passage were sealed, and the black scorpions only broke the seals on both sides.

Matthew didn't know who left this secret passage, but it was a life-saving thing for him.

The black scorpion disappeared quickly after coming out from the other end of the dark passage.

Seeing the scratches of varying depths all around the fork in the road, Matthew was sure that it was the one the Nine Star Sect monks had just come out of.

These scratches were obviously caused by the flying blood centipede entering the narrow fork in the road.
