Chapter 2757: Chapter 2777: Lin Xi, Stop It!

"This area is mostly desert, and Crystal Scorpions like to dig burrows and build nests under the desert sands. Because the Demonic Qi can interfere with Divine Sense perception, it’s unrealistic to try to use Divine Sense to sweep across the land in search of Crystal Scorpions."

"To find Crystal Scorpions, we must walk on the ground and use our cultivation to send vibrations through the earth, simulating the scenario of a giant beast having passed by. They sense prey through ground vibrations; as long as they are hidden underground and feel the tremors, they’ll come out to hunt."

"As soon as they burrow out of the Sand Sea, we can spot them. We can then encircle and annihilate them. There’s no need to hold back when killing them; their shells are incredibly tough, especially their tail stings; they’re practically indestructible, so no need to worry about damaging the bodies too much to exchange for points."

Zuo Dongxu alighted and demonstrated to Lin Chen.

He stepped out, and with every step on the ground, the earth trembled violently, emitting a deep, resonant noise.

He appeared to stroll leisurely, taking steps tens of meters at a time, and with every step, the ground quaked, and the yellow sand collapsed, as if a colossal creature was traversing the terrain, creating a commotion that was extremely loud.

"Hunting Crystal Scorpions is a test of patience; you can’t rush or hurry because if you run too fast, you might be gone before the Crystal Scorpions even have time to emerge from the ground. Give them a moment."

Lin Chen glanced at the endless Basin wrapped in dark fog and asked, "This Land of Demonic Energy seems quite vast."

Zuo Dongxu chuckled and said, "It’s huge, and with our searching method, it’ll keep us busy for quite some time. I just hope we’ll have a good harvest after all this effort."

Gu Maduo said somberly, "Don’t waste time; let’s start."

Zuo Dongxu nodded, "Alright, same old rules; to broaden our search area, the three of us will each take a different line, maintaining a distance where we can faintly sense each other’s movements. We’ll move forward in the same direction. Whoever spots the target first, alerts the other two, then the three of us surround and kill together. After cleaning up, we split and continue the search, repeating this cycle. Any questions?"

Lin Chen responded promptly, "Understood, no problem."

Zuo Dongxu offered a concerned reminder, "Your strength is lower, so remember to keep your Defense Treasure activated because they’ll burst through the sand and attack us. As soon as you detect them, rise immediately, increase your altitude, and call for us. We’ll rush over right away."

Lin Chen nodded, "Got it!"

The three spread out, with Lin Chen walking alone through the darkness, step by step, shaking the earth as he moved forward.

The dark fog was thick but not so much that you couldn’t see your hand before your face; it felt more like dusk after the sun had set.

The three of them walked on, covering dozens of miles, when Lin Chen heard Zuo Dongxu’s loud shout.

"Here, come!"

Lin Chen soared into the air, bursting out of the Fog Zone, and saw Zuo Dongxu floating in midair, his face alight with joy.

Gu Maduo arrived quickly and asked, "How many?"

Zuo Dongxu laughed heartily, excited, "A big nest, quite a few!"

Gu Maduo’s eyes also showed pleasure, "I’ll go down to kill; you two cover. Don’t let them escape!"

Zuo Dongxu cautioned, "Try to lure all of them out before killing; otherwise, the ones that haven’t emerged will turn around and burrow underground, and catching them will be quite troublesome."

"I know."

Gu Maduo gave his affirmation, then darted into the Mist Sea.

Lin Chen stood beside Zuo Dongxu and quietly asked, "So we just provide cover like this?"

Zuo Dongxu laughed, "Most Crystal Scorpions are at the level of Daluo Mysterious Immortals. With Gu Maduo’s strength, it’s basically a one-sided crush. Even if there’s a stronger one, he can handle it, unless we encounter one at the Daluo Beginning Immortal Level, but those are extremely rare, and you can tell by their size."

"I just saw this nest, and at most, one or two leading Crystal Scorpions might reluctantly reach the level of a Daluo Ultimate Immortal. So, there’s no need for concern with him acting alone; we just need to prevent these scorpions from escaping..."

Lin Chen nodded, "Alright!"

Soon there was intense fighting below, apocalyptic and ferocious, and then giant red Crystal Scorpions burst from the dark fog, fleeing in all directions.

"Stop them, don’t let them escape, they’re all points!"

Zuo Dongxu called out to Lin Chen with a smile as he suddenly acted, conjuring countless waves out of thin air that transformed into numerous tentacles, sweeping out and instantly entwining the fleeing Crystal Scorpions.

It wasn’t clear whether Zuo Dongxu deliberately let one escape or was unable to catch it, but a massive Crystal Scorpion slipped past the water and was about to flee.

"Lin Xi, stop it!"

"Right!"

Lin Chen loudly agreed, drew out his Star Cloud Sword, and quickly intercepted the Crystal Scorpion.

The Crystal Scorpion emitted a terrifying hiss as it charged, both of its large pincers snipping towards Lin Chen.
