Chapter 170 – Sand Scorpion Siege (Monthly Votes)
After the brown armored lizard disappeared into the yellow sand, the desert suddenly returned to calm, as if everything had never happened before.

Xu Chuniang retrieved her white pole gun, not being deceived by the appearance of calmness before her, carefully guarding against the brown armored lizards that might appear at any time.

At this moment, the yellow sand under her feet suddenly moved!
It was the brown-armored lizard lurking beneath the yellow sand that suddenly attacked.

Xu Chuniang, holding her white pole gun, gave a heavy thump downwards, and her body used the force to bounce up and avoid the strike.

Then, turning over in the air, she turned her spear downward and stabbed straight towards the brown-armored lizard’s head.

The brown-armored lizard was about to disappear into the yellow sand again when it missed, but its head was pierced through by the white spear and nailed to death on the yellow sand.

From the brown-armored lizard’s surprise attack to its counterattack, all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Xu Chuniang pulled out her white spear and used the tip of the spear to cut open the body of the brown-armored lizard.

The brown-armored lizard was highly poisonous, but the bitter bile in its body was a sacred antidote to poison, with an effect comparable to that of a second-grade antidote elixir.

As for the other parts of the brown-armored lizard, they were all poisonous, so they could only bear the pain and discard them.

She used the White Rod Gun to pick out the bitter gall and put it away, then she used a fireball spell to burn the body of the brown-armored lizard.

After doing all this, Xu Chuniang resumed her journey, her speed three times faster than before.

After killing the brown-armored lizard, she realized the crisis of the Yellow Sand Desert even more deeply, and had to leave this place as soon as possible.

Little White seemed to have sensed something as well, losing his initial excitement and becoming silent, shrinking his body into a ball.

Xu Chuniang hurried at full speed and simply put Little White into her spirit beast pouch.

The various demonic beasts she encountered on the road, she avoided them if she could, and only those she really couldn’t avoid would she engage them.

Yellow Sand Desert this area is very barren, half the shadow of the spirit is not, kill these beasts is not only laborious, the gain is even more meager, pure waste of time.

Just like this rushed five days of the road, the distant mountains that look like the sky, looks like it has been a lot closer, is no longer out of reach.

In the evening, the sky gradually darkened.

Xu Chuniang noticed the change in the sky color and frowned slightly.

The experience of the past few days had taught her that rushing at night was an extremely dangerous thing to do.

Most of the demonic beasts in the Yellow Sand Desert were diurnal, hibernating during the day and only coming out at night to act and feed.

Therefore the number of demonic beasts that came out at night was several times more than in the daytime.

And besides the demonic beasts, the quicksand that could be seen everywhere in the Yellow Sand Desert was likewise a major killing opportunity.

Quicksand looks no different from ordinary yellow sand, but no matter whether it is a cultivator or a demonic beast, as long as it steps into the range of quicksand, it is easy to fall into it and be swallowed by the whole.

Although cultivators were able to see at night to a certain extent, the lack of light at night had many limitations, so for the sake of safety, Xu Chuniang did not choose to rush at night.

She looked around, ready to find a slope corner to rest and recuperate, but suddenly heard a subtle “rustling” sound.

As the wind blew, the subtle rustling sound disappeared, as if it had never existed before.

Xu Chuniang did not let her guard down, and turned her head towards the direction where the sound had first been heard.

“Rustle, rustle.”

That sound appeared again!

And this time, it was clearer and more definite than before.

Xu Chuniang held her white pole gun, looking calmly in the direction of the sound, ready to strike at any time.

But at that moment, the “rustling” sound disappeared once again.

Along with the disappearance of the sound, an earth-colored figure broke through the sand, bouncing towards where Xu Chuniang was, and it was a sand scorpion at the seventh level of qi cultivation! The sand scorpion’s tail stood up high, inspiring a poisonous needle.

Soon after the first Sand Scorpion broke through the sand, the figures of the second and third Sand Scorpions appeared, their cultivation not far from the previous one.

In the face of the sand scorpion’s poisonous needle attack, Xu Chuniang’s face remained unchanged, and a small round shield appeared in front of her out of thin air, stopping several of the poisonous needles.

At the same time, the white pole spear in her hand quickly stabbed, piercing through the bodies of three sand scorpions.

In the Yellow Sand Desert, this Sand Scorpion was the most common thing, Xu Chunniang had encountered it several times in the past few days, so she was also comfortable dealing with it.

After destroying the three Sand Scorpions, she didn’t have the slightest expression of relaxation on her face, instead, she became more and more grave.

From her experience in dealing with sand scorpions in the past few days, this thing would appear in a nest, and it was impossible to have only three of them.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before that “rustling” sound appeared again, at first it was still very weak, but as time went by, the sound became louder and more urgent.

In the end, almost the entire yellow sand desert resounded with this sound.

Xu Chuniang’s face changed slightly, the previous waves of sand scorpions she encountered were only ten or so at most, but now this battle, she was afraid that there were more than a hundred of them.

In this neighborhood, it was feared that there was a huge Sand Scorpion nest.

This was exactly what happened, countless Sand Scorpions came out across the soil, crawling towards Xu Chuniang from several directions.

There were more than hundreds of these sand scorpions, at least a thousand of them, I’m afraid!

At the back of these sand scorpions, there was even a huge sand scorpion that emitted a cold light in its eyes, precisely the Scorpion King of the Great Perfection of Qi Practicing.

Xu Chuniang’s pupils contracted violently, and without hesitation, she put away her white pole gun and sped towards the back.

So many sand scorpions, even if she was allowed to kill them for three days and three nights, she wouldn’t be able to kill them all. Not to mention the fact that the poisonous needles of these sand scorpions were so sneaky that it was difficult to defend against them.

If she was caught in the middle of the sand scorpion’s surroundings, she would probably be chewed up to the bone crumbs!

The sky was already dark, if it was in normal times, Xu Chuniang would never have sped through the yellow sand desert, but she was being chased by thousands of sand scorpions at this time, so she couldn’t care less.

The sand scorpions were chasing her very closely, and under the double cover of yellow sand and darkness, they had a natural advantage.

Under the command of the Scorpion King, the Sand Scorpions that were originally fighting separately became neatly organized, the batch of Sand Scorpions that were closest to Xu Chuniang raised their tails and inspired poisonous needles towards the front.

With so many Sand Scorpions launching their attacks, hundreds of poisonous needles were instantly galvanized in unison, shooting towards Xu Chuniang from all directions.

Noticing the attack behind her, Xu Chuniang took out the Green Stripe Tripod without hesitation, dodging into the Tripod.

Only to see these poisonous needles crash into the tripod’s body, which was perfectly resisted by the Green Pattern Tripod.

Afterward, she leapt out of the Green Pattern Tripod and continued to run towards the front.

Seeing that the inevitable strike was avoided by that cunning human cultivator, the Sand Scorpion King was enraged and his tail stood up high, driving more Sand Scorpions to chase after him.

Xu Chuniang secretly grumbled, most of these sand scorpions’ cultivation was only at the seventh or eighth level of Qi cultivation, and although their attack power was average, their speed was really not slow.

In addition to the large number of them, there was also a Qi Cultivation Great Perfection Sand Scorpion King, eyeing her from behind, the situation was very bad for her.

After all, in the yellow sand desert, in addition to the large number of sand scorpions, there are also brown armored lizards, gerbils, two-tailed snakes and other ferocious beasts, and there is that ubiquitous fatal quicksand, once stepped into, it is likely that the life of the little one will not be saved.

Running away like this, it was likely to attract other demonic beasts or mistakenly enter the quicksand.

However, if he didn’t run away, he would have to face the thousands of sand scorpions that could not be killed.

Just as Xu Chuniang was running while thinking hard about a strategy, her feet slipped and her body suddenly sank downward violently.
