Chapter 405: Chapter 181 Legendary Tales of Gods and Ghosts_3

The scene was chaotic; some people, unlucky enough to be too close to the Demon Scorpions, were caught by them in the blink of an eye.

With a thrust of their stingers, the victims were instantly killed, then the Demon Scorpions clamped their serrated jaws around the victims’ heads.

Crack!

The skulls shattered, and brains spilled out, consumed by the creatures.

The Golden Scorpion Queen took a few steps forward, blocking Lin Baici, then opened her red lips and let out a piercing scream.

Squeak!

The Demon Scorpions, who were frantically slaughtering the people, suddenly panicked, dropped their prey, huddled together, and watched the Golden Scorpion Queen as if facing a formidable enemy.

This was because the female scorpion exerted an oppressive force on them.

The Golden Scorpion Queen emitted some strange syllables, apparently communicating with the Demon Scorpions, and then suddenly, the creatures burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

"Are they gone?"

Hua Yue Yu was gripping the Voodoo Staff tightly, ready to electrocute at any moment.

"It’s alright now. I told them if they didn’t leave immediately, I would eat them!"

The Golden Scorpion Queen was proud; it wanted to show this human how strong it was.

"Thank you!"

After Lin Baici spoke, he instructed everyone, "Come over and thank the Queen!"

Everyone understood that the Demon Scorpions’ retreat was due to this monster’s efforts, so no matter how insincere they felt, they hastily expressed their gratitude.

"No need."

The Golden Scorpion Queen didn’t care about such things. It only drove the creatures away for the sake of Lin Baici’s safety, "As long as you and I produce a strong Scorpion King, I will be satisfied."

"What the heck?"

Fang Tianhua was astonished, feeling like he had heard something shocking.

Fei Xiao was also confused. As a department head, he considered himself well-experienced, but this time...

He looked at the female scorpion and really wanted to remind her that there should be reproductive isolation between them, right?

"Let’s move out!"

Lin Baici was a bit frustrated. He had thought about killing this scorpion creature before, but though it had ulterior motives, it had, after all, helped them and saved some lives. Wouldn’t it be somewhat improper to kill it now?

The group headed towards the dark shadow on the horizon.

Half an hour later, after cresting over a massive sand dune, they suddenly saw a group of people fighting ahead.

"Mummies?"

Hua Yue Yu exclaimed.

The ones besieging the people were a group of mummies without bandages, tall and leggy; if not for being corpses, their bodies would be robust, clearly fierce warriors of the battlefield.

"It’s the people from the third department!"

Fang Tianhua was overjoyed.

Among the group, a man in his thirties with a crew cut was extremely fierce; his weapon was a three-meter-long saber, and with each swing, he cleaved a mummy monster in two.

His posture was relaxed and effortless.

"That human is very strong!"

The Golden Scorpion Queen’s expression became serious.

"Of course, he’s Zhang Heng, the department head of the third department, a Lion King Level Captain!"

Fei Xiao laughed, feeling a sense of pride.

Within the Haijing Security Bureau, the top three departments were the elite of the elite, specifically responsible for exploring God’s Ruins that had existed for over three years.

"I’ll go help out!"

Fang Tianhua immediately started running, wanting to show his face in front of Zhang Heng and get acquainted.

"Hey, hey, your captain’s still here. Do you have to be so shameless? Are you that eager to switch teams?"

Fei Xiao teased.

Though he said that, he actually didn’t mind. If Fang Tianhua impressed Zhang Heng and was pulled into the team, that was his skill.

Man seeks higher positions as water flows to lower ground. God Hunters seeking to become stronger need Divine Grace, Meteorite, and Taboo things. Only by following a strong team can one more easily acquire these items.

Fang Tianhua sprinted over thirty meters when his left foot suddenly stopped, feeling something had grabbed his ankle, sending a chill down his spine.

He quickly looked down and saw a withered hand clutching his ankle.

"There’s a monster!"

Fang Tianhua yelled and lunged forward, using the momentum of his sprint to yank the underground creature out like pulling up a radish.

It was a desert mummy!

Roar!

The mummy opened its gaping mouth and roared, lunging at Fang Tianhua to bite through his throat.

Fang Tianhua swung his dagger, hacking it across the mummy’s face.

Thud!

The blade lodged in its face, but the mummy did not die, and Fang Tianhua rolled to the side to dodge.

Rustle! Rustle!

The sand on the ground wriggled, and in the blink of an eye, it stood upright, coalescing into one mummy creature after another.

"Run!"

Lin Baici shouted, "Run towards the front!"

Suddenly, a hundred mummies appeared around them. It was impossible for Lin Baici to kill them all instantly, which would inevitably lead to casualties.

Under those circumstances, it was safer to meet up with the God Hunters from the third department sooner rather than later.

"I’ll clear the way!"

Xia Hongyao charged to the forefront, slashing with her dagger.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every mummy she struck burst open, turning into a cloud of sand and dust, but after a few seconds, they began to reassemble.

"Undying?"

Fei Xiao furrowed his brows deeply.

Swish!

Lin Baici knocked down a mummy and, seeing it starting to reassemble, switched to waving a pine torch at it, but he failed to ignite them.

"Yue Yu!"

Lin Baici commanded, "Fire towards the front!"

"Okay!"

Hua Yue Yu held the Voodoo Staff in both hands, aiming it forward.

Crackle! Crackle!

Light blue arcs of electricity appeared at the top of the staff before shooting out.

Boom!

The lightning struck one mummy, shattering it completely before jumping to another, then continuing on. In the blink of an eye, seven mummies were hit and broken into pieces.

"Wow!"

Hua Yue Yu was excited to see seven mummies killed in one blow, and she shifted the direction of the staff, firing another shot.

Boom!

"Don’t waste your Divine Grace!"

Lin Baici quickly reminded, as using the staff required Divine Grace, and if Hua Yue Yu continued using it recklessly, she would soon be exhausted.

He had nothing that could quickly replenish her Divine Grace.

"Oh! Oh!"

Hua Yue Yu nodded hastily, caressing the staff and suddenly feeling exhilarated.

Muscle Buddha appeared, throwing wild punches, each swing shattering a mummy corpse, but they quickly reformed.

Someone had already been tackled to the ground and bitten to death.

This couldn’t continue; the mummy corpses moved too fast. By the time they reached the third department, all the ordinary people would be dead.
