Chapter Thirty-One: Blood Food Scorpion King

  Pliers feet is the killer of the king of purple scorpion!

  And among them, the essence of Zi Jin was mixed in, and the human alchemy method was used to fuse and refine it, making it even more advanced.

  Now his claws are like gold and iron, ringing out with a clear and loud sound when they touch something, completely unlike flesh and blood.

  Especially the serrated blades in the pincers, like thin sharp blades, occasionally flashing a cold and stern light, icy killings followed by a trickle of blood, making people feel chilled to the bone.

  Even Zire felt the danger in it!

  However, he just felt danger and did not feel threatened.

  Without advancing to the realm of a minor demon, even with combat talents, in his presence, they could only be considered second-rate goods.

  Of course, he didn't want to rush into it.

  Sometimes, finding and exploiting the enemy's weaknesses can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

  That's the benefit of having a human soul!

  "What is the key to catching scorpions?"

  Just as he was about to dive down, Zilei suddenly thought of this question and instantly recalled the past events he had heard in his childhood.

  "Although the pincer foot is powerful, it's too clumsy. As long as you grab its back, you can win with one move."

  "Hiss!"

  He let out a loud cry, his heroic voice piercing the sky, but his figure transformed into a bolt of lightning that split from the heavens and descended.

  However, the King of Purple Scorpions can become a ruthless lord of the scorpion tribe, and it is not in vain.

  At the moment of Zhī Lé's dive, he suddenly turned around with an unbelievable speed and countered with a pair of pincers.

  Clang!

  Clang!

  Two clashing sounds of gold and iron rang out, not loud enough to deafen the ears, but still clearly transmitted very far in the chaotic battlefield, echoing between the towering Purple Scorpion Mountains.

  Zi Lei was shocked in his heart and couldn't help but sigh at the hardness of Zi E's king crab claws.

  He had been practicing the Eagle Claw Divine Art for a long time and had already broken through to the fourth level, accumulating energy for the fifth. It could be said that his eagle claws had been tempered to an extraordinary hardness, and in terms of hardness alone, they were almost on par with ordinary magical artifacts. Moreover, he had also used several percent of his demonic power.

  The king of scorpions is also unbearable.

  He had originally intended to make a decisive blow, so he used all his strength, and the demon power was concentrated in a pair of pincers. However, after colliding with Zilei, he was shocked to feel numb all over, and his pincers trembled. His internal organs churned, his blood boiled, and he suffered an internal injury in an instant.

  It can be said that neither of them gained an advantage from this move!

  But compared to Zile, the King of Scorpions is at a disadvantage, and the scorpion group has been retreating under the impact of Baimao and Sanzhua, greatly affecting his morale, making him more inclined to retreat, and even somewhat impatient.

  "Fighting halfway up the mountain, without gaining any geographical advantage. If we retreat back to the cave at the summit, with the help of the dense purple mist and miasma, it would be enough to entangle this demon eagle in battle."

  Even if he wants to quit, he has to think of a reason.

  However, he didn't have time for the little scorpions anymore and turned around to leave.

  However, how could Zile let him escape, and through the direct confrontation just now, he had already roughly figured out his skills, and in the battle, he was even more accurate and handy.

  With a flap of its wings, Zilei dove down again. Its claws were not aimed at the back of the Violet Scorpion King, but directly at its pincer feet, adopting a hard-against-hard stance.

  Clang!

  Clang!

  Again two clear and crisp sounds.

  The sound had barely fallen when another dull thud was heard.

  Taking advantage of the time when the purple scorpion king's pincers were tied up, the thunderbird's beak fiercely pecked downwards, just piercing into the back of the purple scorpion king, deeply entering the flesh.

  "Ah!"

  The king of the scorpions felt a sharp pain, and his heart was racing with fear. He suddenly realized how ridiculous his competitive spirit was. After letting out a mournful cry, he lost all will to fight. His several thick and stiff scorpion legs moved wildly as he fled at high speed back to the safety of his mountain lair.

  In his mind, as long as he didn't care and fled wildly, when the cyclone circled again, it would be enough to hide in the thick fog, and his life would be saved by more than half.

  However, Zire didn't play by the rules and instead of flying up again like last time, he poured his demonic energy into the eagle's claws, heavily striking the pincers of the Purple Scorpion King once more.

  All of a sudden, there was a "crack" sound, and the pincer foot of the purple scorpion king was broken off.

  The pincers were broken, the largest resistance of the purple scorpion king also disappeared, despite his efforts to struggle, constantly spraying purple poisonous fog, shooting out small tail thorns, trying to escape back to the old nest, but unfortunately facing an enemy like Qi Lei, not only was his cultivation far higher than his, but he had also awakened the bloodline inheritance and had a systematic demon-refining method. His adult-like huge body eventually became a tempting piece of fat meat, being slowly torn apart and eaten into the belly by Qi Lei.

  With his death, the scorpion groups thoroughly disordered their arrays, crazily fleeing in all directions. The four major tribes' troops took advantage of the situation and swarmed up, sharing the delicious purple scorpions. Each one ate with reckless abandon, stuffing their bellies until they were round and full, unable to eat any more.

  It's strange to say, ordinary beasts can't withstand the attraction of blood food, let alone Qi Lei, who has cultivated to the realm of small demons and has gradually lost his desire for blood food. However, after seeing the Purple Scorpion King, he suddenly couldn't help but stimulate his appetite, and the huge Purple Scorpion King, as big as an adult, was eaten clean by him, even the pair of extremely hard pincers were not spared, all filled into his stomach.

  After eating, he suddenly realized that the body of the Purple Scorpion King contained an enormous amount of demonic energy.

  "No wonder I wanted to eat it as soon as I saw it, it turns out that the demon's power was attracting me!"

  He secretly delighted, however, soon discovered, trouble came.

  These demonic powers are not like the ones emitted by Kuroki, which absorb harmlessly. Instead, they have different properties and even counteract each other. If not handled properly, a huge mess will ensue.

  It is worth noting that the King of Purple Scorpions does not understand the way of cultivating demons, and is simply a "foodie" who doesn't even spare his own kind. However, in reality, the demonic powers that are truly at his disposal are not many, with most of them lying dormant, and it's unknown how he manages to achieve balance without exploding from the internal pressure.

  But it can be imagined that his body is like a barrel of gunpowder, and even if there is a spark, it will explode.

  However, this "powder keg" has now entered Zire's belly, and the different properties of the demon power have begun to run amok, and balance is being broken.

  "It can't be so unlucky, right? I just felt like I had a delicious meal and then this happened!"

  He was deeply depressed, but he didn't dare to delay even slightly. He quickly activated the "Eagle Claw Divine Art", only to find that even with the "Eagle Claw Divine Art", it could only temporarily suppress the chaotic evil energy. The hidden danger still existed, and if not handled properly, one day a big disaster would occur. Even if it wouldn't make him explode and die, it would still cause great damage to his future cultivation.

  "Then take this opportunity to thoroughly sort things out!"

  He immediately passed down the order, temporarily resting and letting the four clans hide in the mountains and forests. Except for necessary hunting, they were not allowed to disturb the surroundings. He himself occupied the nest of the magpie, entering the Purple Scorpion King's cave mansion where the poisonous fog had already dispersed.

  Apart from him going into seclusion, Bai Mao, San Zhao, Fei Que and Di Shu also swallowed a considerable number of purple scorpions, among which there were some with demonic powers. They too needed to carefully cultivate and refine them before following Qi Lei to enter the Purple Scorpion Mountain. Of course, the purple scorpions they had swallowed all had very single-minded demonic powers, making them relatively easy to deal with.

  "Your Majesty, from now on we should kill more of those with demonic powers and use their blood as nourishment to quickly break through!"

  The groundhog felt that after this practice, he would definitely make another breakthrough and couldn't help but say with a smile.

  Zi Lei furrowed his brow, displeased in his heart.
