C481 Golden scorpion

"Brother Lei, then what should we do next?" Yan Guixing asked.

"I'm not too clear about this either. Why don't we go forward and observe the terrain first?" Lei Yang said.

The group then headed towards a relatively tall sand dune at the edge of the desert. Soon, they arrived at the top of the dune.

Although the sand dune was not very tall, compared to the flat desert, one could see things from a distance.

At this moment, when they arrived at the top of the sand dune, they saw three different topography.

Endless amounts of yellow sand as far as the eye could see. The once icy plains, now boundless waters, and a piece of land as black as ink. That was the region of Darksteel. Originally, this place was a border formed by three different types of landscapes, namely, the desert, the water, and the darksteel.

"Brother Lei, according to the terrain, this place is at the border between the water, desert, and darksteel regions. Yan Guixing asked again. He was originally someone who had his own way of thinking, but after staying by Lei Yang's side for a long time, he had asked about Lei Yang in all matters.

"Is there a need to ask? Naturally, I'm entering the Darksteel Region!" Yang Shuo said in all seriousness.

After Lei Yang heard this, he thought for a moment before nodding his head, and said: "It's only so, Clan Elder Zhang said, in the middle boundary of cauldron, self-protection is the most important, so for the muddy water in the desert, we should not wade in!"

But just as they finished talking, Zhang Qing suddenly said: "Second Brother, I'm afraid we can't, I'm afraid we have to go out and wade through the desert, because I have seen Big Brother!"

"What? What did you say? Where did you see it?" Lei Yang hurriedly asked.

"It was at the edge of the water. We were far apart, but I could tell at a glance that he was fighting and retreating into the desert.

However, quite a bit of time has passed since then. I wonder if he has already entered the center of the Darksteel Region. " Zhang Qing said.

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Lei Yang asked with a slightly reprimanding tone.

"I was prepared to say it earlier, but you interrupted me, and then drank that Immortal Drunk, so I temporarily forgot about it." Zhang Qing acted like a child who made a mistake, and lowered his head in embarrassment.

"No matter what, we should still take a look. We haven't seen him in so many years, so it doesn't matter if we can find him in this desert. At the very least, our intentions have arrived!" Lei Yang immediately changed his mind after hearing Zhang Qing's words.

"Then, Brother Yang, Brother Yan, what are your plans? Do you want to follow us, or do you want to directly enter the Darksteel Realm?" Lei Yang did not want to ask them to go with him, so she asked.

"Brother Lei, no matter where you go, we'll follow you. We won't talk about anything else!" The two of them said at the same time. Their attitude was very firm.

After they had finished speaking, they took out two flying shuttles and soared into the sky. They turned into streaks of light as they flew towards the center of the desert.

Although Lei Yang had a clear goal in his heart this time, he did not know whether or not he would encounter Xie Jun. Actually, a large part of the reason why he was doing this was to follow his heart, because he felt that only by doing so, would he be able to live up to Xie Jun's heroic spirit back then.

The endless yellow sand extended all the way to the end of the horizon, causing the entire sky to turn orange under the reflection of the golden colored sand on the ground.

The few of them moved forward in the desert for ten days. During the flight of the two Flowing Moon shuttles, they had already traveled a long distance in the desert. According to Lei Yang's estimations, they should already be very close to the center.

In the past, on the ice plains, even though they were all monotonous ice crystals, one could still see some strange ice crystal forests, icebergs, and the like. From time to time, they would give people a fresh feeling, but other than the occasional sand dune, there was no other object here.

In this kind of environment, with nothing as a reference, Lei Yang didn't dare be sure if they were walking in a straight line or not.

As they continued forward, the amount of conversation they had became less and less. It was probably because of the boredom of the journey that caused them to feel extremely depressed. Thus, the atmosphere had become quite heavy.

At this time, Lei Yang suddenly saw that a gigantic sand dune had appeared on the ground in front of him. In order to adjust the atmosphere, he quickly said: "Brothers, let's go and take a look!"

After he finished speaking, he had already piloted his flying shuttle and landed directly on the sand dune. Yang Shuo also brought Yan Guixing to descend along with him.

At the top of the sand dune, the few of them sighed about the desolation and the emptiness of the desert. They began to communicate with each other as if they had found a topic to talk about. After chatting for a while, they felt much better.

At this time, Zhang Qing bent down and grabbed a handful of sand, and from between his fingers, she slowly started to play like a child.

However, when the sand in his hand completely slipped away, it suddenly revealed a fingernail-sized golden colored bug.

"Hey!" This immediately piqued Zhang Qing's curiosity, and she quickly extended her hand out, saying: "Look, there's actually a small life here, I thought there was no life in this desert!"2

A few people's gazes immediately landed on Zhang Qing's palm, they saw that the insect's entire body was gold, it had a pair of large pincers, a stomach with many legs, and a long tail behind it, it was obviously a scorpion.

Despite its small size, at this moment, as everyone looked at it, its pair of small eyes continuously sized them up. Its fierce and ferocious appearance made them unable to hold back their laughter.

After that, Zhang Qing used her finger to teach it a lesson, and then casually threw it out. She caught the few of them and flew back, preparing to continue her journey.

However, just as they left the sand dune, the gigantic sand dune suddenly exploded, causing them to turn around in fright. The scene they saw immediately caused everyone's pupils to constrict and their hairs to stand on end.

That was because as the sand dune exploded, countless golden scorpions rushed out from within the sand dune like a gushing tide.

The sand dune that they were on earlier was not some sand at all. It was clearly a pile of indescribably large golden scorpions.

As the scorpions were being pushed up into the sky, they suddenly scattered apart. Although they did not have wings, they were all floating in mid air, glaring at Lei Yang and the rest.

Their bodies were no longer the same size as the previous one, but instead, every single one of them was around the size of a fist, and the aura they emitted was comparable to a human cultivator's Great Circle of Core Formation.

At this moment, they all stopped in the air and formed a formation. They covered the entire sky and the ground, making them look like a giant golden cloud.

At this moment, a golden scorpion the size of a fingernail suddenly flew up from the ground. It stood directly in front of all the scorpions, looking just like the leader of this group of scorpions.

It looked at Zhang Qing angrily, causing a chill to unconsciously rise in Zhang Qing's heart, as she mumbled to herself: "It can't be such a coincidence, I just casually taught a little bug a lesson, could it be that I beat their leader?!"

Seeing this strange scene, Lei Yang, Yang Shuo and the other two all felt like laughing, but at this moment, the life and death crisis in their hearts had erupted without end, making them unable to laugh.

In the end, it was Lei Yang who said: "Third brother, this matter is caused by you, you should clear it up yourself!"

After Lei Yang finished speaking, he immorally abandoned Zhang Qing and ran away. Zhang Qing screamed in fear and quickly chased after him.

As for the scorpions behind them, under the command of the smallest scorpion, they actually formed a giant scorpion out of thin air and charged towards them.

The giant scorpion was formed by countless little scorpions, but its cultivation was abnormally strong, as though it could reach a level comparable to a human cultivator with half a step into the Nascent Soul. Wherever it went, yellow sand would fill the sky, and a storm would appear out of nowhere, causing the space to shatter.

However, what was strange was that other than hating Zhang Qing to the bone and wanted to kill him, he also hated Lei Yang and the other two more. It was as if he wanted to drive them somewhere.
