Yin Mengyao was surprised that Long Chen would agree to go to the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.
"Alright then, I know the location of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave. If we're careful, we can avoid some danger."
Under Yin Mengyao's lead, Long Chen climbed the steep Life and Death Devil Mountain towards the peak.
After walking for about half the distance, the clouds in the sky seemed to have already enveloped the entire area. The weather was already cold enough, and with the addition of this fog, even with Long Chen and the other cultivators' eyesight, it wasn't easy for them to move freely in the Life and Death Devil Mountain.
In the sky, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed.
"Looks like it's going to rain."
Yin Mengyao's expression showed a hint of worry.
"How far is the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave?"
Long Chen frowned as he brushed aside a pitch-black leaf blocking his path. The environment of the Life and Death Devil Mountain was truly too vile.
He couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if it rained here.
Swoosh!
With a wave of his hand, Long Chen grabbed a thumb-sized snake from the leaf and crushed it to death. Even in death, the snake's tail was still tightly wrapped around Long Chen's body. But with Long Chen's Thunder Flame Battle Physique, how could it possibly break it so easily?
The snake's entire body was black, and there was only a single red line on its back that went from head to tail. It looked ordinary, but in reality, it was extremely poisonous.
Poisonous beasts like this were everywhere in the Life and Death Devil Mountain.
Along the way, Long Chen and Yin Mengyao had met many poisonous beasts that were even more powerful than this snake. Among them, there was a Mystic rank fourth level poisonous scorpion. It was as big as a horse, and its tail was about three meters long. Even with Long Chen's Thunder Flame Battle Physique, its sharp stinger would be able to pierce through.
This poisonous scorpion was dealt with by Yin Mengyao before, but even Yin Mengyao found it difficult to deal with this poisonous beast. The main reason was that this scorpion's venom was too terrifying. Even an Earth Core warrior would suffer a tragic fate if they were stung by it.
After walking for a while, Lingxi, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly moved.
Long Chen hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Chick, what's up?"
"There are people in front, and there are a few Nether Scorpions!
It's two people from the Purple Clan. One of them seems to be injured! "
The two from the Violet Clan should be Gu Cheng and Liu Gui. Gu Cheng was Gu Batian's grandson, and Gu Batian had taken care of Long Chen a lot. Hence, this time, Long Chen had no choice but to interfere.
"Long Chen, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Long Chen had stopped in his tracks, Yin Mengyao turned around and asked concernedly.
From the beginning, she had been indifferent to Long Chen, but Long Chen's subsequent performance had won her respect.
"There's someone in front. I have to go over." Long Chen didn't hesitate and was about to go in the direction Lingxi pointed.
"What?
Isn't this a bad time? "
Right now, they had already obtained enough jade bracelets. Because of Yin Mengyao's matter, they needed to make a trip to the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave. As for the others, it was best if they didn't meet them.
"Four jade bracelets should be enough, right?" She thought that Long Chen wanted to obtain more jade bracelets.
Long Chen didn't answer. Gu Cheng and Liu Gui were in danger, so he couldn't be bothered with anything else. He directly rushed in the direction Lingxi pointed.
"You!"
Seeing that Long Chen didn't even listen to her opinion and didn't care about her at all, Yin Mengyao was a little angry no matter how good her temper was.
However, Long Chen was very determined when he left. Yin Mengyao could only sigh helplessly and said coldly, "Forget it. Regarding the matter of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, I've troubled you once. This time, you've come to trouble me, so we're even."
Of course, she couldn't let Long Chen go alone, so she also used her movement technique and chased after Long Chen.
The two of them quickly arrived at their destination. From afar, Long Chen could already smell the scorpions.
"There's a total of more than ten Nether Scorpions!"
As soon as they arrived, Long Chen and Yin Mengyao saw the Nether Scorpions on the tree trunk, branches, ground, and roots, as well as the two people who were already surrounded by the scorpions.
"Gu Cheng!
Liu Gui! "
Two shouts gave the two people inside hope. After listening carefully, they realized that it was Long Chen's voice.
Long Chen had arrived, which meant that Yin Mengyao had also arrived. If Yin Mengyao was here, they might still have a chance to live!
At this thought, they were overjoyed. Although they didn't know if Yin Mengyao would save them, at least they still had a chance.
"Long Chen, hurry up and ask Miss Mengyao to save us!"
Long Chen had just arrived. At that moment, Gu Cheng was already lying on the ground. His fair skin had now turned black. One look was enough to tell that he had been poisoned.
Beside him, Liu Gui was struggling to resist the scorpions and protect Gu Cheng. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
"Big Brother Gu Cheng has been poisoned by the scorpions to protect me. Long Chen, hurry up and think of a way to save him!"
At this point, Liu Gui didn't care about Long Chen's strength anymore.
Around the two of them were the corpses of some Nether Scorpions.
When she saw that it was Gu Cheng and Liu Gui, and that they knew Long Chen, Yin Mengyao's slight blame for Long Chen disappeared.
"But how did he know that these two people were injured?"
Yin Mengyao was very curious about this.
While she was feeling curious, Long Chen had already charged towards the Venomous Nether Scorpions without saying a word.
In the process, he had already used the Dragon Soul Transformation and transformed into a blood-red dragon body. The scarlet scales and bone spurs made him look similar to a poisonous scorpion, but he was even more terrifying!
The reason why he used the Dragon Soul Transformation was because these Nether Scorpions were really powerful. On the other hand, with the scales, his body would be harder, so it wouldn't be easy for the Nether Scorpions to break through his body.
"Long Chen, be careful!"
Gu Cheng and Liu Gui were very touched when they saw that the first one to rush to their rescue was Long Chen. However, they knew very well how strong Long Chen was. Even Gu Cheng had been poisoned by the Nether Scorpions, let alone Long Chen.
Although this was the first time they had seen Long Chen's beast soul transformation, they were still not optimistic about Long Chen's chances.
After all, Long Chen was only at the Earth Core realm.
The news of him entering the Earth Core realm had already spread to the ears of many people through the mouths of the Great Elders.
They were worried about Long Chen, but what shocked them was that Long Chen was like a wolf in a flock of sheep when he rushed into the group of Nether Scorpions, slaughtering them to his heart's content. From the looks of it, there was no need for Yin Mengyao to do anything!
"How is this possible?"
Gu Cheng's face was dark, and he was extremely shocked. Liu Gui's expression was also quite interesting.
"Profound Dragon Seal!"
As he advanced, Long Chen used the Profound Dragon Mark with a single hand in a practiced manner. The roaring divine dragon image instantly shattered the insides of the huge Venomous Nether Scorpions!
However, the vitality of these Nether Venomous Scorpions was extremely strong. Seeing how powerful Long Chen was, they let out strange screeches. More than a dozen of them gathered together and attacked Long Chen!
A total of more than ten three-meter long hard scorpion tails were raised up high, ready to pierce at any time. This kind of scene would make anyone's scalp go numb.
"The speed of this Nether Scorpion's tail is really not to be underestimated. With its demonic energy and venom, even a normal Profound rank fourth level demonic beast would be defeated by this scorpion!"
Fortunately, this kind of poisonous beast only lived in a humid place like the Nine Demon Mountain. If it could be seen everywhere, then the human race would be in trouble.
"No wonder even Gu Cheng fell for it, it's so hard to deal with!"
After being continuously dodged several times, Long Chen felt a headache coming on.
He felt that he had lost a lot of face, but he didn't understand Gu Cheng and Liu Gui's shock. Long Chen had obviously just broken through to the Earth Core realm, but he was actually able to move freely in a group of scorpions, and he had even killed a few Poisonous Nether Scorpions in a row!
While feeding Gu Cheng the poison, Liu Gui whispered to Gu Cheng, "Brother Cheng, didn't the Grand Elder say that Long Chen is at the early Earth Core realm?
Why do I feel like he's stronger than me? "
Gu Cheng shook his head in pain and said, "I don't know either … Fortunately, this thing can contain the scorpion's venom. With Long Chen and Yin Mengyao here, we should be fine. Protect me, I'll circulate my true energy to help expel the venom!"
Although he didn't know why Long Chen was so strong, expelling the venom was the most important thing right now. Otherwise, Gu Cheng would really be crippled.
"Alright!"
Liu Gui nodded and looked at Long Chen nervously.
"You bunch of bastards. Fine, since you have the Yin attribute, then I'll let you experience this move!"
"Burning Devil Yang Fist, Flaming Sky!"
Long Chen suddenly used the Flaming Fist. Immediately, the Nether Scorpions let out shrill screams and dodged in panic. Once hit by Long Chen's Flaming Fist, no matter how strong the Nether Scorpion was, it would be burned to death!
"Fire attribute, such a powerful move!"
Seeing this move, Yin Mengyao's eyes narrowed. She originally wanted to help Long Chen, but after seeing Long Chen use this move, she knew that it wouldn't be a big problem.
However, this Burning Devil Yang Fist was much stronger than before. Although it was a mid-rank mystic combat skill, this level of strength couldn't even be compared to Yin Mengyao's Ice Mountain Seal!
"This Long Chen, could it be that he's really a dark horse who's hiding his strength?"
Yin Mengyao's beautiful eyes stared at Long Chen as she thought to herself.
At this time, with the help of the Burning Devil Yang Fist, Long Chen turned the Nether Scorpions into ashes one by one.
After finally killing all the Nether Scorpions, Long Chen stood in front of Gu Cheng and Liu Gui, who had looks of disbelief on their faces.
After a while, Liu Gui finally reacted and said anxiously, "Long Chen, you guys should leave first. Chu Yunxi and the three from the Jin Clan have formed a team of four and are sweeping around. They've already snatched almost all the jade crystal bracelets from the others!"
