Chapter 211: Chapter 211: The Terrifying Jie La
On top of the sand dune
Kazik chopped off the head of a desert scorpion, feeling irritable under the blazing sun. It still preferred darker places.
Just then, it suddenly looked up and saw Qin Tian walking out of the Black Gate.
Ssss!
Kazik waved its forearm in greeting to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian landed steadily in front of Kazik and then said with a smile:
"Kazik, let me introduce you to a new partner, Jie La~"
In the next moment, the green vine on his wrist suddenly grew as thick as an adult’s thigh. One end was tied to Qin Tian’s arm, the other stood high, its top curving into a hook, swaying gently.
Sss~~
Kazik’s mandibles contracted, and a strong sense of vigilance filled its compound eyes. Its forearm instinctively positioned itself in front. From the green vine, it felt an extremely strong sense of threat, one that was potentially deadly.
"Don’t be nervous, I’ve already said, she’s our new partner, Jie La."
Qin Tian patted Kazik’s body, indicating it to relax.
Hearing this, Kazik slowly lowered its forearm, but the gaze it directed at Jie La still held vigilance and a hint of curiosity.
Where did the master find this creature? It’s much more terrifying than the previous vine.
"Kazik, you’re quite familiar with this desert already. Help me find a formidable beast, I want to test Jie La’s strength." Qin Tian said.
Formidable~
Kazik pondered for a moment and thought of a target.
Ssss~~
Kazik flapped its wings and said to Qin Tian:
"Follow me."
Jie La turned back into a bracelet, coiling around Qin Tian’s wrist. Then, under Kazik’s guidance, they flew deeper into the desert. After about an hour, they stopped mid-air.
Qin Tian looked down at the ground, spotting an enormous black entity crouching on the sand dune.
It was a giant scorpion, at least a hundred zhang long. Its carapace surface was covered with dark golden patterns, like ancient talismans glowing faintly. Each gap oozed a sweet venom, corroding the sand beneath into smoking pits.
Tens of thousands of scorpions spread like a black tide over the sandy sea, stretching from the giant scorpion’s feet to the horizon.
They either clung to the eroded sand dune or burrowed into the scorching sand crevices. Their pincers reflected cold light as they opened and closed, the venom from their stinger dripped onto the charred sand, sizzling audibly.
In this domain of death, countless white bones lay scattered—some were antelope horns broken, some were travelers’ rusty wristbands, and there were even complete giant skeletons.
When Qin Tian and Kazik arrived, the desert giant scorpion suddenly lifted its head, a deep, sonorous roar emanating from its belly.
Boom!!
The ground erupted in a storm of sand, attacking upwards like a tornado.
Qin Tian and Kazik deftly dodged.
"Jie La, go give it a try."
As soon as the words fell, the green vine detached from his wrist, plunging into the sea of sand.
Boom!
A dark green shadow broke through the soil, the main trunk of the Soul-Devouring Demon Vine as thick as a dragon, covered with menacing spikes.
As soon as it appeared, hundreds of branches shot out with the speed of lightning, each transforming into a crimson streamer, precisely piercing into the scorpion swarm.
In an instant, the shells of over a hundred scorpions shattered, their internal blood gushed like fountains into the vine, their shriveled bodies "thudded" to the ground.
The terrifying slaughter did not cease, with branches of the demon vine dancing like spirit snakes. Each piercing skewered seven or eight scorpions, the scorpions threaded on the vine futilely waving pincers, their vitality visibly disappearing. In mere moments, thousands of shriveled bodies hung like blood-red candied haws on the vine.
Quickly a thick pile of scorpion corpses stacked up on the sandy ground, yet the demon vine continued its ruthless harvest, the crimson liquid dripping along its length, dyeing the yellow sand an eerie purple.
"Hooh!"
The Sandstorm Giant Scorpion bellowed in anger, emitting a deafening roar.
Instantly, a terrifying might burst from within it, causing the whole desert to tremble.
"Tier Five Fierce Beast!"
Qin Tian raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Kazik. "You sure know how to set the bar high for Jie La, bringing out a Tier Five Fierce Beast and at least tens of thousands of underlings right off the bat."
Kazik blinked its compound eyes, spreading its forearms innocently.
Bang bang bang~
The Sandstorm Giant Scorpion’s eight bowl-sized legs stomped the ground fiercely, the sand dune collapsed with a rumble, its massive body charging at the Soul-Devouring Demon Vine like a black mountain.
Simultaneously, tens of thousands of scorpions had their bodies suddenly glow with a khaki-colored spiritual energy light, dense as a solid substance circulating and coalescing around them, forming indestructible shields.
The surface of these shields patterned like ancient earth veins, shimmering with a heavy luster, interconnecting to become even more robust, amazingly blocking all the subsequent piercing assaults of the demon vine, ringing metallic collision sounds echoing through the desert.
However, in front of the Soul-Devouring Demon Vine, these Energy Shields were merely food.
Observed, the surface of the vine suddenly split open into dense patterns, like countless greedy little mouths.
When it stabbed into the Spirit Shield again, those patterns immediately swathed the khaki spiritual energy, devouring frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Spirit Shield dimmed at the moment of contact with the vine, and the scorpions realized in horror that their once proud defensive power was continuously pouring into the demon vine, feeding this dreadful killing machine.
The branches of the vine grew ever thicker, spikes gleaming with eerie khaki glows, effortlessly piercing through the remaining Spirit Shields, continuing to harvest the lives of scorpions.
On the other side
Two disc-sized pincers flashed with a chilling sheen, the giant scorpion wielded immense strength clamping harshly onto a main trunk, "crack," the steel-like vine was forcibly snapped.
However, at the severed vine’s end, new offshoots sprouted madly like bamboo shoots after the rain, resuming their original form in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the giant scorpion’s poison sacs on its pincers contracted violently, spurting viridescent poison with high-pressure force all over the vine. Eerily enough, instead of corroding, the demon vine greedily absorbed the toxin, its spikes becoming increasingly crimson.
Seizing the momentary daze of the giant scorpion, countless branches of the demon vine rushed upon it like a web, crazily drilling into its carapace gaps.
The giant scorpion struggled fiercely, striking the vines with its stinger, but was ensnared by more vines, tightening like black chains.
It swung its pincers furiously, turning surrounding sand dunes to dust, yet the vine suckers clung to its body stubbornly, countless tiny suction pipes penetrating the carapace, voraciously extracting its blood.
Despite the giant scorpion’s terrifying strength, each struggle raising a level-eight sandstorm, it failed to free itself from the demon vine’s entanglement.
As blood continuously drained, its movements gradually slowed, its crimson compound eyes finally reflecting fear.
In the end, the main trunk of the demon vine coiled around its neck like a python, thousands of branches exerting force simultaneously, "poof," penetrating its toughest skull, completely draining away the desert overlord’s vitality, leaving nothing but an empty shell.
At the same time, the tens of thousands of scorpions present were also completely dried into husks.
In the Desert of Death, the Sandstorm Giant Scorpion clan, feared by all, was thus wiped out effortlessly by Jie La.
