Chapter 126 - 126: Danger
Puff. Puff. Puff.
After the vehicle sped for dozens of miles, the terrain ahead suddenly changed.
Several sand dunes violently shook, and sand flew, completely blocking Fang Hong's path.
Fang Hong immediately stepped on the brake pedal, jumped out of the vehicle, and looked ahead cautiously.
From those turbulent sand dunes, massive giant scorpions emerged from the sand.
These scorpions were entirely crimson, glowing with red fire, and each was about ten feet in size, swarming out of the yellow sand in groups. The scene was extremely terrifying and made one's scalp tingle.
"It's the Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons." Fang Hong was slightly surprised after seeing the appearance of these demonic beasts.
Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons are extremely ferocious demonic beasts, with a violent temperament, and are skilled in group action.
It is said that they can spew out scorching demonic fire, and even Late stage of Golden Core cultivators often have to flee in a hurry when encountering them.
The group of scorpions in front of him possessed extraordinary strength.
Fang Hong sensed for a moment and found that each of them had at least reached the Late stage of Golden Core, and there were over a hundred of them, densely surrounding him.
Puff!
The scorpion swarm sensed Fang Hong's aura, let out a hiss, and then leaped high into the air, flying towards him, spewing out scorching crimson demonic fire from their mouths.
Fang Hong's expression changed slightly. Not daring to be careless, he immediately put away his four-wheeled vehicle, and with a flicker of his body, quickly retreated, avoiding the first wave of demonic fire.
The demonic fire struck the yellow sand, and in an instant, large patches of sand melted, turning into scorching hot red lava, rolling and emitting waves of heat.
Seeing this, Fang Hong was secretly amazed, thinking that if this landed on his body, he would probably be instantly melted.
What surprised Fang Hong even more was that those Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons seemed completely unaffected by the restriction on flight in this area, still able to circle and pounce in the air, charging at him in wave after wave.
Seeing the critical situation, Fang Hong waved his hand without hesitation, fiercely throwing out twenty Ice Seal Talismans from his storage bag.
These talismans exploded in the air, transforming into streams of white cold Qi, which quickly enveloped the space around the scorpion swarm.
As the cold Qi struck, the scorpions' movements immediately slowed down considerably, and the flames on their bodies also weakened somewhat, their actions clearly inhibited.
Fang Hong seized the opportunity to throw out the Four Symbols Formation Flags, embedding them around, trapping the entire scorpion swarm within the formation. He then summoned the Four Symbols Formation Spirit, which began to violently ram into them.
The scorpion swarm resisted tenaciously, continuously spewing scorching demonic fire, burning the formation barrier. Although the Four Symbols Formation was very sturdy, facing so many attacks simultaneously, cracks began to appear.
Fang Hong quickly brought out all his Heavenly Thunder Needles, transforming them into countless needle shadows that rained down from the sky, fiercely piercing the Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons.
Puchi. Puchi.
The Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons roared repeatedly, constantly being pierced by the Heavenly Thunder Needles, blood splattering everywhere. They tried to melt the flying needles with their demonic fire.
But unfortunately, mere demonic fire could not melt Fang Hong's Life bound Treasure.
The fierce fire only made the Heavenly Thunder Needles hotter and more powerful, sweeping through the scorpion swarm.
In just a moment, all hundred-plus fiercely abnormal Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons died under the barrage of Heavenly Thunder Needles, their bodies lying motionless on the sand.
Fang Hong let out a long breath, retrieved his formation flags and Heavenly Thunder Needles, and was about to take out his demon gourd to collect the demonic beast corpses and refine them into spirit pills.
However, the moment he activated his magical power, those corpses instantly turned into streaks of red light and quietly dissipated into the air.
"Alas, as expected, these Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons are not real, but illusory beasts formed by some restriction." Fang Hong looked at the empty sandy ground and sighed, his expression slightly disappointed.
Fang Hong noticed that although the Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons' bodies had disappeared, red beads were left on the sand.
He picked one up to examine it, feeling a pure fire-attribute Spiritual Qi flow from his palm into his body, warm and hot, making him feel refreshed and comfortable.
"Such pure fire Spiritual Qi." Fang Hong's face showed surprise.
These red beads were somewhat similar to the spirit pills refined by the demon gourd, no worse than some seventh-grade spirit pills.
The red Spirit Beads were fire-attributed, which perfectly matched the Essence Emperor Art cultivation technique he cultivated. They could be directly refined and absorbed, providing no small help in improving his cultivation.
Fang Hong collected all the red beads on the ground into his storage bag, feeling a little relieved.
Although he didn't get the Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons' bodies for alchemy, having these beads was still good.
After tidying up, Fang Hong once again summoned his four-wheeled vehicle and continued to slowly move forward in this boundless sea of sand.
He originally only wanted to quickly Transmigration this dangerous area, but now his mind changed. If he could hunt more demonic beasts, wouldn't he be able to collect more fire Spirit Beads?
Thus, Fang Hong drove his four-wheeled vehicle, traversing and wandering through the desert, wishing for more demonic beasts to actively attack him.
…
Two days later, Fang Hong was still hunting demonic beasts in the desert.
At this moment, two gigantic shadows suddenly rose in front of him, which were two huge black snakes, each a hundred feet long.
Their scales were pitch black, their snake eyes blood-red, and their malevolence was overwhelming.
Fang Hong didn't recognize what kind of demonic beasts these were, but judging by their aura, their cultivation had both entered the Core Formation peak.
Hiss!
The two giant snakes let out low roars, their massive snake bodies coiling and rolling, and in a blink of an eye, they had encircled Fang Hong from front and back.
Immediately, they both opened their mouths, spewing out two scorching pillars of fire, heading straight for Fang Hong.
Fang Hong patted his Spiritual Beast Pouch, and Little Rainbow jumped out, chirping a few times, releasing dazzling seven-colored light around her body, instantly enveloping Fang Hong.
The fire pillars struck the seven-colored light shield, but could not advance an inch.
Seizing this opportunity, Fang Hong brought out his Heavenly Thunder Needle, transforming it into a sharp axe. With an angry shout, he threw it with all his might. The axe shadow was like lightning, heading straight for the black snake's head.
Puchi.
The sharp axe instantly struck the black snake's head. After a loud bang, the massive snake head was directly severed.
The giant snake's body twisted violently a few times before falling to the ground, then dissipated into a wisp of red light, leaving only one fire Spirit Bead.
Fang Hong was about to take the opportunity to deal with the other black snake, but unexpectedly, a sharp aura suddenly struck from a distance. A golden Qi blade broke through the air, cutting the black snake in half before he could.
Seeing this, Fang Hong's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly retreated to the side with Little Rainbow.
That golden Qi blade just now was definitely not at the level a Core Formation cultivator should possess. He had most likely encountered a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Fang Hong put Little Rainbow back into his Spiritual Beast Pouch, his feet flashing non-stop, while also looking back cautiously. He saw yellow sand surging behind him, and a yellow shadow was rapidly approaching him.
"It's the Golden-winged Bird." Fang Hong's face showed surprise.
He had already seen the true appearance of the yellow shadow, it was actually that level eight Golden-winged Bird. Was it still wandering on the second level?
"Hehehe. Little ant, you can't escape." The Golden-winged Bird sneered, staring intently at Fang Hong, already treating him as prey.
