Chapter 1212: Chapter 1212: Wu De Provokes "Public Anger

"Since the Demon Dragon Scorpion is so terrifying, shouldn’t our ship stay as far away from it as possible?"

Zhuge Lian, who had grown up in the True Martial Realm, had heard of the Demon Dragon Scorpion before. He knew it was a fearsome sea creature with a massive body like a dragon and a tail like a scorpion, and couldn’t help but ask.

"I know why Brother Fang is doing this..."

Among the women with Fang Bai, Linghu Baimei was the most quick-witted, and she continued, "Brother Fang is skilled in the Beast Taming Art. He wants to use those Demon Dragon Scorpions to fight against the ships from Misty Island."

"Those who know me, Baimei does!"

Fang Bai laughed heartily and nodded, "Exactly, I plan to lure the people from Misty Island into the territory of the Demon Dragon Scorpions, then use the Beast Taming Art to make the Demon Dragon Scorpions attack their ships, allowing us to escape."

Wu De, who had been looking troubled, now couldn’t help but get excited, rubbing his hands together and grinning, "I knew it, Brother Fang you always have tricky plans up your sleeve for escaping trouble!"

Dongfang Ruhua spat out in contempt at Wu De, "Fat Taoist spouting nonsense, what do you mean by ’tricky plans’? This is clearly Brother Fang’s skill!"

"Yes! Indeed! If anyone has tricky plans, it’s you, Fat Taoist!"

"Look at that big belly of yours, who knows how many tricky plans it holds!"

...

Su Linglong and the others were unhappy hearing Wu De describe Fang Bai as having ’tricky plans’, and they all rolled their eyes at him.

Having gotten to know Wu De well, and hearing Fang Bai sometimes calling him "Fat Taoist", and seeing Wu De’s round figure, they thought the nickname rather fitting and started calling him that too.

Realizing he had incited the ire of the women, who were all chattering in defense of Fang Bai, Wu De sighed and murmured, "Having many wives is indeed good, ganging up in a verbal fight, I can’t win..."

At his words, some of the women’s faces flushed with embarrassment, while others couldn’t help but giggle.

Linghu Baimei teased with a laugh, "Are you envious, Fat Taoist? Why don’t you leave the order, find yourself ten or eight wives, then you’ll have people to back you up in fights and arguments!"

Wu De shook his head vigorously, "No way! No way! The Taoist Master once had his fortune told; he’s a calamitous lone star, destined to be without women in his life! Besides, women are so troublesome with all their coquettishness, I can’t even handle one, let alone ten or eight—I’d go insane!"

Having said this, he looked at Su Linglong and the others, then at Fang Bai, and chuckled, "Brother Fang, I genuinely admire you. To maneuver among so many women and still manage effortlessly. Just like passing through a sea of flowers without a single leaf sticking..."

"Cough cough..."

Fang Bai, worried that Wu De might blurt any inappropriate remarks and embarrass everyone, quickly coughed loudly several times to interrupt him.

"You this Fat Taoist, if you keep spouting nonsense, be careful I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the Demon Dragon Scorpions!"

Fang Bai secretly transmitted his voice to Wu De.

Although Wu De knew that Fang Bai was just trying to scare him, seeing the shimmering points of gold growing closer ahead and thinking of the terror of the Demon Dragon Scorpions, he couldn’t help but shiver and obediently shut his mouth, daring not to speak further.

The ship, like an arrow shot out fiercely, sped across the sea, drawing nearer and nearer to the group of Demon Dragon Scorpions.

The group of Demon Dragon Scorpions seemed to have also sensed the aura of human Martial Artists, heading towards the ship Fang Bai and others were on, stirring up huge waves along the way.

"We seem to have encountered a Demon Dragon Scorpion family!"

Fang Bai stared intently at the turbulent sea ahead and solemnly said, "Normally, a Demon Dragon Scorpion family consists of hundreds of Demon Dragon Scorpions, with at least thirty being mature ones. This is equivalent to thirty human Cosmic Level perfection powerhouses..."

Upon hearing Fang Bai’s words, Wu De and the others couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Among the thousands of martial artists on this sea ship, aside from Fang Bai, there were only a few early stage Cosmic Level strong ones. Faced with thirty Demon Dragon Scorpions, as powerful as Cosmic Level perfection powerhouses, even if the ship was sturdy and equipped with a Defensive Array, they had no confidence in withstanding such a powerful group’s attack.

Wu De and the others were already somewhat timid and fearful, and Fang Bai’s next sentence sent chills down their spines.

"The tail of the Demon Dragon Scorpion carries a poison sac. The venom from one mature Demon Dragon Scorpion can corrode solid rock; if it splashes on a martial artist, even an early stage Cosmic Level strong one, their flesh would turn into pus in an instant."

Fang Bai’s gaze swept over Wu De and the rest as he spoke earnestly.

"Goodness, is there such a formidable beast in the sea?"

Wu De was wide-eyed and speechless, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Initially, he stood at the front of the ship’s deck wanting to see the appearance of the Demon Dragon Scorpions, but after hearing Fang Bai’s words, he subconsciously retreated several steps backward, as if afraid that the venom might splash onto him.

Other martial artists also quickly retreated.

Even Cosmic Level early strong ones couldn’t resist the venom of Demon Dragon Scorpions, let alone them, the Vast Level martial artists?

With a large group of Demon Dragon Scorpions approaching at the front and the powerhouses like Madam Linghu from Misty Island chasing from behind, Fang Bai and the others on the sea ship were trapped in a perilous sandwich.

Wu De and others were extremely uneasy, silently praying that Fang Bai’s Beast Taming Art would work, hoping that the Demon Dragon Scorpions would not attack them but rather target the Misty Island ships chasing them.

Tens of moments later, that group of Demon Dragon Scorpions was only a few hundred meters away from Fang Bai and the others’ ship, and many martial artists on the ship could already make out their general appearance.

The front row of Demon Dragon Scorpions, about ten meters long, covered in golden scales looking like metallic armor. Under the sunlight, they reflected specks of golden luster.

Especially striking was the huge venomous hook on the tail of that row of Demon Dragon Scorpions, with the venom concealed within.

The front row, all mature Demon Dragon Scorpions, possessed the fiercest attack power and destructiveness. Their bodies swiftly twisted, breaking through the waves and charging towards the sea ship that Fang Bai and others were on.

Following behind them were several dozen relatively smaller and younger Demon Dragon Scorpions, whose attacking and destructive powers were far less than those in the front row, but still not something that Wu De and other Vast Level martial artists could handle.

At the same time, Madam Linghu also sensed the presence of the Demon Dragon Scorpions and was overjoyed, thinking that with the Demon Dragon Scorpions blocking the way, Fang Bai and his companions had no chance of escape this time.

"Boom!"

A dull thud sounded as one mature Demon Dragon Scorpion was the first to meet Fang Bai and others’ ship, its tail fiercely slashing towards the ship and embedding deeply into the ship’s body.

"Such a sharp tail!"

Dongfang Ruhua let out an involuntary cry of alarm.

Yet the next moment, something even more astonishing happened.
