“Run. Lure it into the valley!” called out Wutian as he ran past Han Tian like a whirlwind.

The Fire Scorpion was nasty. Little Tian had already broken three of its claws, but it was nothing to the Fire Scorpion. The three of them were still no match for it. The only way was to lure it into the valley, using the narrow terrain to their advantage to kill it.

It was also Wutian’s intention to agitate it. Otherwise, it would protect the white egg and was not going to leave.

Little Tian carried the three claws. It looked funny because the claws were hundreds of times bigger than its body. It shot Han Tian some funny looks, shaking its head, basically telling him he would not stand a chance against the scorpion.

While running, Little Tian was busy gnawing the claws. It wanted to refine some Essence elixirs to heal their injuries and protect them against the poison.

Han Tian was struck dumb for a second before following Little Tian away. He was still amazed by them. The two had not only broken three of the Fire Scorpion’s claws but also smashed its mouth so it could no longer use sound waves to attack.

The human-beast team had excellent tacit coordination. Especially Little Tian that was gutsy and skillful, utterly unintimidated by how nasty the Fire Scorpion was. Han Tian even suspected that Little Tian could exhaust the scorpion’s strength and kill it single-handedly. Just that probably it thought it was a hassle to do that way.

Roar!

The Fire Scorpion roared and struck with its remaining seven claws. The roar filled the air, and it kicked up dust and gravel. Before long, a fifty-foot-deep pit appeared, exposing piles of bones in the ground.

These were bones of the human hunters who entered Mount Scorpius. They were killed and eaten by the Fire Scorpions, and their bones piled up like a hill. There were probably a thousand of them at a glance.

The Fire Scorpion looked at the fleeing humans and beast and hesitated, recalling its forefather’s instruction that he must not leave this open ground. But the pain in his mouth and claws became unbearable, so much so that it decided to ignore the instruction and clawed away from the open ground.

Its body was massive, yet its movement was quick. The earth would shake with every step it took. Its claws dug up chunk after chunk of the earth as it clawed its way into the valley.

From faraway, the scorpion tail glinted and emitted a corrosive smell. Three black light beams shot out at the three fleeing figures. But the three of them saw it coming and dodged the attack easily.

The strikes left behind three pits filled with bubbling black fluid in the ground.

The groups of demonic wolves were standing in their way, slowing them down. Han Tian was furious. He raised his hand and shot out two tornadoes. The violent winds were as sharp as blades, slashing many demonic wolves into pieces, their blood dyeing the earth red.

But there were still too many demonic wolves, which were fearless and continued to charge forward, surrounding the three of them. Behind them was the Fire Scorpion, roaring and clawing, causing the earth to crack and tons of giant rocks tumbling down the mountain with debris and dust filling the air.

“Damn you all!”

Han Tian was enraged. With Grayish Storm in one hand and Golden Shock Wave in the other, he shot them out, killing dozens of demonic wolves, turning them into clouds of blood mist

The three of them swiftly followed from behind. Grayish Storm and Golden Shock Wave were unstoppable. Before those demonic wolves could make a sound, their bodies were torn apart.

The place turned into a hell flooded with corpses and blood.

Their bodies were covered in blood, and even their eyes had a layer of blood mist on top. Han Tian’s mass-killing techniques were too badass; not even mountains could stand in their way, let alone the demonic wolves.

Wutian was envious of him, whose elemental powers were brutal. Wutian was just as good as him in one-to-one combat, but when it came to gang bang, he was not in the same league as Han Tian.

At last, those demonic wolves flinched. Han Tian’s brutal killing style had struck fear in them and sent them fleeing with their tails between their legs.

“Turn into that path.”

It was a narrow path, so narrow that it barely allowed the Fire Scorpion to enter. The three of them ran into it and stood in the middle, ready for the moment to strike.

Little Tian spat out three Essence elixirs, red and translucent like a blood diamond.

“That’s super pure!” Han Tian exclaimed.

The two consumed them, and powerful vital energy circulated in their bodies, rapidly healing them. It was especially apparent on Wutian, whose wound in the chest healed so quickly that he could see new flesh squirm and grow.

“Caw, caw!” Little Tian grinned from ear to ear, patting its chest in delight.

The Fire Scorpion was overly massive. The earth shook and rocks fell as it clawed rapidly into the narrow path.

It finally spotted the goddamn humans and tiny beast, its lantern-like eyes reddening with a vicious look.

Roar!

It roared furiously, striking down its sharp claws. The mountains shook and hundreds of rocks fell from above like meteorites in the sky.

The three of them dodged frantically. Little Tian was the most agile. It could easily avoid the falling rocks because of its tiny size. But Wutian and Han Tian were not so lucky. The path was too narrow, restricting their maneuverability. They dodged a few bigger ones but hit by rocks the size of their skulls. Blood instantly spurted out of their mouths.

The Fire Scorpion was a remnant of an ancient species. It was as smart as humans and knew that it was a trap. It did not enter but waved its claws at the entrance of the narrow path.

“Damn it, this thing has grown a brain. It didn’t take the bait!”
