Chapter 362: The third step that is difficult to cross
Chu Mu asked the Demonic Tree Warrior to change his position and face the south. At this time, the number of desert mad scorpions in the south was actually not very large. Although Shan Jing had some difficulty in resisting, he also killed many desert mad scorpions.
In group battles, Demonic Tree Warriors are absolutely superior to any soul pets of any type. The four people in this team obviously do not have wood type soul pets, otherwise they would have been summoned immediately.
After Shan Jing recovered from his surprise, he hurriedly transferred his soul pet to the west to get rid of the remaining desert mad scorpions.
Qingqing's assistance was all in Li He's position. Li He's four-winged snake demon was cured, and his combat effectiveness quickly returned to its full state. He twisted his body flamboyantly, shuttled between these wild scorpions, and kept
to crush these hard-shelled creatures.
The ninth-level desert mad scorpions have always been dealt with by captain Guo Zhan. Captain Guo Zhan is obviously much stronger than the others. He not only firmly holds his own direction, but also kills all the ninth-level creatures in the desert mad scorpion group.
To be killed!
"It seems that another large wave of desert scorpions are coming here." Qingqing looked at the top of the surrounding sand dunes with a pale face and said in a low voice.
"Well, prepare to summon the third favorite." Captain Guo Zhan said calmly.
The next wave of desert mad scorpions will definitely be more numerous and stronger. Everyone must pass three controls to be able to hold on.
"Zhizhizhizhizhi~~~~~~~~~"
"Zhizhizhizhizhizhizhi~~~~~~~~~~"
Noisy sounds like the friction of sharp teeth resounded all around, and gray shadows slowly covered the golden sand dunes, as if gray tides were rolling in here.
The insect energy filled the sky and billowed like thousands of troops running wildly on the desert, causing the five soul pet masters to take a breath.
"This...how many are there?" Qingqing covered her mouth in surprise, with a look of fear in her eyes.
"Why are there so many? This is just the front end of the Shagu Basin!" Li He also widened his eyes.
How long will they fight with so many desert scorpions? If there are more of these creatures after this large wave of desert scorpions, then their group will not even be able to set foot in the middle of the Sand Bone Basin.
enter!
"Summon the third pet!" Captain Guo Zhan frowned and said to all the soul pet masters.
The other three people also realized that this would be a fierce battle, and hurriedly recited spells to prepare for the sweep of the crazy scorpion.
"Chu Chen, why didn't you summon me?" Qingqing said anxiously.
Qingqing soon discovered that Chu Mu did not recite the spell. Although Chu Chen was a young abnormal master, he should not be stronger than Li He. There were too many Shanjings. Li He and Shanjing had not yet been summoned.
Bringing out the master's pet to fight...this is the time to use all your strength!
"That's not necessary." Chu Mu shook his head, and then pointed at the red sunset that was gradually sinking in the distance.
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually turned into a bunch of light, like a slowly closing door, leaving darkness in this world... Something strange happened!
Just after the sun set, the entire desert suddenly became quiet!
Those running desert scorpions all froze in place at the moment when night fell. Then these desert scorpions with extremely standard work and rest time put their heads on the ground and threw away the sand with their sharp scorpion pincers!
The killing waves were rising, and the sand around everyone looked like it, and the bodies of the countless Desert Crazy Scorpions slowly submerged under the sand... The movements of the Desert Crazy Scorpions were almost the same, and these hundreds of Desert Crazy Scorpions
The behavior of the Crazy Scorpions surprised everyone. It was not until all the Desert Crazy Scorpions disappeared from everyone's sight that they slowly woke up.
"Killing and killing, I forgot that they don't like night fighting." Li He said with a wide smile.
The Desert Scorpion hates fighting at night, and will return to the sand as soon as night falls. This can be said to be a quirk of the Desert Scorpion.
The captain had promised to hold on until the sun went down, but as they fought, they all lost track of time.
Captain Guo Zhan glanced at Chu Mu. When the desert mad scorpions came, Guo Zhan's state of mind also changed, so much so that he forgot about the sunset.
What surprised Guo Zhan was that this young man, who was much younger than him, was able to grasp the timing well under the powerful momentum of a large group of desert scorpions. This requires extraordinarily calmness!
"I can finally rest." Seeing that there was no threat around her, Qingqing patted her chest and sat directly on the sand.
"Everyone rest where you are for a while, and then let's continue on our way." Captain Guo Zhan said.
The Desert Scorpions don't like night battles, so they can also take this opportunity to cross the Sand Bone Basin.
Chu Mu did not rest, but asked the Demon Tree Warrior and Zhan Ye to help him collect the venom from the desert mad scorpions.
Chu Mu only wanted venom, but he didn't pick up other soul cores, soul crystals, etc. They were all public property and must be distributed by the team leader. Anyone who acted on his behalf would be ostracized.
"Chu Chen, why are you collecting these venoms? Could it be that you are a spiritual master?" Qingqing looked at Chu Mu and asked.
Qingqing was actually a little curious about Chu Mu, and she also felt that this young master looked very mysterious.
"No, I need these venoms for my reward." Chu Mu replied.
"Why do you feel that there is a bounty for the venom of the Desert Scorpion?" Shan Jing touched his chin. Suddenly, Shan Jing thought of something and said with a look of surprise, "A friend of mine with an eighth-level title told me that Xuan
Zhen Palace seems to have issued an eighth-level bounty. To collect enough venom, is it possible that you accepted the eighth-level bounty in the palace?"
"Well, I need 1,000 venoms, but these are far from enough." Chu Mu didn't hide anything and nodded.
Chu Mu cleaned up the battlefield very quickly. All the venom collected, including the venom of the nine-stage desert mad scorpions, was about 180. Adding the venom he had collected before, the total was 280 venoms, which was still far from the 1,000 number.
Not a small distance.
Chu Mu could also see that this team did not necessarily want to fight the Desert Mad Scorpions, so it was somewhat impossible to use them to help him collect venom.
"1,000 copies, wouldn't it mean that you have to kill 1,000 desert scorpions? If you accept this reward alone, if you hadn't met us, wouldn't you have to kill so many desert scorpions by yourself?" Qingqing stared at her eyes.
Looked at Chu Mu.
"Abnormal, abnormal young masters cannot be understood in a normal way. When I was your age, I was still running for the sixth-level bounty. Even now, I still need someone else to lead me before I dare to step into the eighth-level mystery.
Realm." Li He sighed.
"Chu Chen, you will definitely participate in the World Showdown, so you can definitely stand out in the third level!" Qingqing said excitedly.
"The third level... My goal is the second level." Chu Mu put away all the venom and said naturally.
"The second level! You mean the second level!!"
At this time, everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Chu Mu in disbelief, including the extremely calm captain Guo Zhan, who was also a little moved.
"Chu Chen, I think you'd better not step into the second level. You haven't participated in the World Showdown, so you don't know how strong the masters in the second level are." Shan Jing's tone became a little heavier.
.
Shan Jing could see that the young man in front of him had such strength at this age and would definitely be a top master in the future. He just wanted to enter the second level of competition. It would be an exaggeration to describe it as wishful thinking!
"More than ten years ago, I also aimed to compete in the world, and wanted to get an authoritative honor of my own in this event where countless young masters gathered. I have traveled to many places and competed with various masters.
Following a stronger soul pet master, I entered the Mysterious Realm... When I was strong enough, I returned to Tianxia City." Shan Jing said slowly.
Shan Jing looked much older than his peers. When he talked about this matter, his eyes looked even more pale, with no light at all.
Chu Mu looked at Shan Jing quietly. Chu Mu saw a complicated expression on this man's face, one of unwillingness, helplessness and self-deprecation.
"I was twenty-five years old at the time, and my strength was actually not much different from what it is now. Because my soul pet later died in the Eighth Mysterious Realm, there was no progress in my strength in the past six years. I was young and energetic at the time, and thought I was strong enough.
, can definitely make a sensation in the world. But, the moment he steps into the realm of the world..." Shan Jing took a deep breath, his whole person was shrouded in haze, and he couldn't say any more.
Li He stood next to Shan Jing and said angrily: "Huh, what's the shame of saying this? The worst is a complete defeat!!"
Shan Jing opened his mouth, but finally sighed and added: "In fact, at that time, I didn't even squeeze into the third rung."
This time, everyone was surprised. If Shan Jing had reached his current strength six years ago, then he should be considered a master in the third tier. How could he not even squeeze into the third tier?
"Brother Shan Jing, are you kidding me? I didn't dare to participate in the World Showdown, but I always feel that this World Showdown is not as scary as you said. That is the third level. With your current strength, you should be able to get the glory.
That's right." Qingqing said.
"I'm not being alarmist. Just ask the captain yourself." Shan Jing's eyes fell on the silent captain Guo Zhan.
Guo Zhan just sat there and listened without saying anything. When everyone's eyes fell on him, he said in a strange tone: "Do this task well. Those things don't belong to us. You talk too much."
It makes no sense."
Qingqing had just listened to Shan Jing's description and was already somewhat interested. She immediately sat down next to the captain and said with a pleading look: "Captain, we didn't dare to fight, but it's okay to listen. You must have participated."
It’s all under heaven, why don’t you tell your story.”
"There's nothing to say, it's just like that." Captain Guo Zhan didn't seem like the kind of person who confided stories to others casually, and he turned a blind eye to Qingqing's charming request.
"Have a good rest and continue on your way." Guo Zhan said calmly.
