"Great Scorpion God, aren't you going to protect your people?"
In the dim stone chamber, a strong smell of blood filled the air. It was like an abyss of hell, exuding an evil aura that sent chills down people's spines. If a human with weak qi and blood entered this place, it wouldn't take long for their consciousness to be eroded and become a cripple.
At this moment, a figure covered in a black robe was kneeling on the ground. His head kept touching the ground as he muttered to himself. He was praying to a statue in the middle of the stone chamber.
In the center of the stone room was a huge pool made of white jade. It was thirty feet wide, and at this moment, the pool was emitting a strong smell of blood. Blood-red liquid was constantly churning in the pool, and from time to time, human organs were rolling on the surface of the liquid.
In the middle of the blood pool stood a statue with a human head and a scorpion tail. It looked ferocious and had scales all over its body. On its head was a pair of pincers that were as big as a human head. They flashed with a red light, and even the sharp poisonous stinger on its tail was clearly visible. It flickered with a chilling light, giving off a disgusting feeling.
This was the Scorpion God, the common ancestor of all the scorpion men on the continent. The statue of the Scorpion God in the cave was said to have been separated from the Scorpion God statue in the ancestral land when the scorpion men moved here hundreds of years ago. It was the most precious treasure and spiritual pillar of the entire branch.
Puff! Puff!
Puff! Blood bubbles kept rising from the blood pool, and human hearts floated on the surface. These were the offerings the scorpion men gave to their ancestor. It was said that when their great Scorpion God was alive, he liked to eat the hearts of humans the most. For this reason, the scorpion men used human hearts as offerings to their god.
After Xiao Chen's continuous attacks, in addition to the humans that were released, there were less than two hundred scorpionmen left in the entire underground world. They had already been driven to the deepest part of the underground by the furious humans. The tunnels were also getting more and more rugged, giving off an oppressive feeling.
Not only that, but the ancient tunnel also gave off a strange feeling. Irregular patterns appeared on the walls of the tunnel on both sides, giving off a strange aura that caused one to involuntarily sink into it, unable to extricate themselves.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
As the group of people walked in this strange tunnel, there seemed to be an invisible, raging aura constantly attacking their minds. A terrifying killing intent constantly surged in their minds. In addition, besides Xiao Chen, everyone else had gone through a long period of imprisonment. Their bodies were severely drained of blood, and their minds were already extremely fragile. Therefore, this strange aura easily rushed into their minds and occupied their minds.
"Wake up!"
Almost at the moment when the raging qi started to wreak havoc, a thunderous roar reverberated from the sky. At the same time, Xiao Chen's battle qi also broke out in a split second. His qi and blood were surging like a rainbow piercing through the sun. In a split second, his magnificent qi and blood filled the tunnel and covered everyone, driving the weird qi out of their bodies and isolating them.
After hearing Xiao Chen's roar, everyone was awakened at once as they oozed cold sweat. If not Xiao Chen, they might have all been killed in this tunnel. Therefore, they all bowed towards Xiao Chen to express their gratitude.
"Thanks for your help, clan head Xiao. This is indeed the nest of the scorpionmen. Only this tunnel has such a great power."
A tough man who seemed to be quite prestigious among these people expressed his gratitude to Xiao Chen. After fighting side by side with him, they had already known each other. This tough man didn't belong to any tribe. He was a vagabond in the Great Wilderness. His name was Shan Kun. He was also a famous hunter in the surrounding tribes. Pitifully, he was unlucky. When he was injured while hunting, he was accidentally discovered by the scorpionmen and became their captive. Therefore, Shan Kun wanted to kill the scorpionmen to vent his hatred.
The remaining scorpionmen had long been confined in some stone cabins at the end of the tunnel. Quivering with fear, they didn't look as arrogant as before.
Xiao Chen carried Xiao Lu-er with one hand and grasped the Dark Blood Spear with the other. As he stood in front of everyone, a murderous intent surged in his eyes. It was like his gaze was going to pierce through the stone wall and kill all the Scorpion Men hiding there.
"Pontiff, that human demon is chasing us. They want to kill us all. Doesn't the great Lord Scorpion Deity protect his followers?"
Seeing that the young man who was like a demon in the hearts of his tribesmen had caught up, a scorpion man hurriedly ran into the stone house where the black-robed man was praying and hurriedly reported to the black-robed man kneeling on the ground.
Not only that, the scorpionman youth even knelt down on the ground and kowtowed towards the statue of the Scorpion Deity in the center of the blood pool, "Great Scorpion Deity, your followers are facing death. Please point out the way for your followers."
Boom!
At the same time, a berserk cyan battle qi was shot out of the dark blood spear in a split second, breaking the stone wall into pieces.
"Kill!"
Sonic booms continuously sounded out as everyone roared. Sharp, blood-stained blades and sharp bone spikes gave off bloody killing intent as they tore through space and charged towards the stone house.
Standing behind them, Xiao Chen didn't stop; instead, he swept his spear horizontally while his battle qi turned into a huge wave and killed all the scorpionmen in front of him.
He wanted to see what treasure all the scorpionmen wanted to protect at the cost of their lives.
At the same time, Zhang Tie forcefully stomped on the ground with his left foot. As a result, the ground cracked in a split second and spread out in all directions.
At this moment, Xiao Chen flashed towards the depth of the tunnel like a cannonball.
In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared in the endless darkness without leaving any ripple.
"Big brother, the qi here is so terrifying. Lü'er doesn't like it here."
The deeper he went, the denser the evil qi became. Even Lü'er felt that she didn't like this qi.
Ever since Xiao Chen entered the depths of this tunnel, he felt a strange aura surrounding him. His body instinctively felt a sense of disgust towards this aura. It was as if he was born with this aura.
At the end of the tunnel, there was a stone gate. As soon as Zhang Tie stepped in, he felt dizzy as the dim scenery changed. He had entered the stone chamber and saw the statue of the Scorpion Deity and the young scorpionman in a black robe in the center of the room.
"Human, how dare you kill the followers of the Scorpion Deity? You will definitely be punished by the Scorpion Deity!"
Seeing Xiao Chen breaking in, the old man in a black robe shouted in a restrained voice as if he was trying to give more courage to his trembling body.
Xiao Chen didn't care about the old man's roar. As an expert at the peak of the initial success stage of the Blood Refinement realm, he had already sensed that the blood in the old man's body was mottled and had declined to the extreme. There was nothing to worry about.
As for the young man, he had already collapsed to the ground in fear when Zhang Tie entered. He was trembling all over and could not take care of himself.
His gaze pierced through the void and landed directly on the statue of the Scorpion Deity in the center of the stone chamber. It was this statue that made him feel a deep sense of disgust.
"Hmph!
Today, I will slaughter all of you reptiles. Don't worry, that bastard Xie Li is waiting for you down there. Hehe! "
"Demon, even if I die, I will make you die with me. Great Scorpion Deity, your people sacrifice their flesh and soul to you. Curse this human demon to fall into the abyss forever, never to be reincarnated."
Seeing that Xiao Chen had entered the stone chamber, the old man already understood that the destruction of the Scorpion Clan was inevitable. Without any hesitation, he pounced towards the statue of the scorpionman in the center of the blood pool.
The old man's resentful voice was still echoing in the stone chamber when his body had already collided with the statue. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere as blood flowed.
At this moment, the statue of the Scorpion Deity was flickering with a strange red light as if it had come to life. The scales that covered its body were opening and closing, continuously sucking the old man's flesh and blood. Its body was like a leaking balloon, shriveling in the blink of an eye.
Gulp!
Gulp!
After sucking the old man's flesh and blood, the statue of the Scorpion Deity was not satisfied. With a flash, a blood-red light shot towards the blood pool below. In an instant, the blood pool that was not very big stirred up waves. A palm-sized whirlpool appeared out of nowhere, and the blood in the blood pool rapidly decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At some point, the entire stone chamber had become shrouded in fog. Within the fog, there were layers of clouds, causing the originally dark space to become even more eerie. From time to time, miserable screams could be heard from within the fog, causing one's hair to stand on end. At this moment, Xiao Chen was surrounded by the fog, as if he had lost his mind.
Suddenly!
Two rays of red light flashed from the eyes of the statue of the Scorpion Deity, shooting out a distance of several meters before disappearing without a trace. The crimson red eyes were like a bottomless abyss, emitting a demonic power that could seep into one's heart.
Ka ka!
At this moment, the statue really came to life!
Then, the statue of the Scorpion Deity let out a strange, sharp cry that sounded like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. Suddenly, a blood-red light appeared out of nowhere, streaking across the foggy space and whistling towards Xiao Chen.
