Scorpion!

It was densely packed with scorpions that covered the sky!

Just as Dugu Yifeng and the others reached the top of the stone stairs, they suddenly felt as if they had triggered some sort of mechanism. All of a sudden, candles lit up the area around them, illuminating the entire area.

At this moment, they could clearly see the frightening scorpion on the ground.

Fire Cloud Scorpion!

With a single glance, Dugu Yifeng could tell that he had come out with a scorpion. In that instant, his heart, which had just been lifted from his throat, sank back into his throat. The Flaming Cloud Scorpion was just an unranked wild beast. Even though the trees were huge, it was not a threat to them.

"Brother Wu Chen, Brother Jian Jue, each of us will lead a small team. One of us will be guarding the surroundings, while the other two teams will go all out to get rid of these Fire Cloud Scorpions." Dugu Yifeng instructed the two people beside him.

In the past, it was not rare for him to encounter such a situation. Therefore, it was quite easy for him to deal with it.

The two of them looked at Dugu Yifeng, then looked at each other as if they had reached an agreement. Immediately after, they waved their hands, and the guards behind them immediately separated into two teams, following them as they slowly moved towards the group of scorpions.

Ling Jianxue and Ling Wuchen both knew clearly that Dugu Yifeng's probing ability was far above them, so it was only natural that he would be the perfect candidate to give Dugu Yifeng this task.

Ling Jian Jue and Ling Wu Chen revealed their talents, one of them used True Divine Spirit Force, and the other relied on his profound strength, constantly killing the Fire Cloud Scorpion which had a high level of strength. In just a few moments, the group of scorpions dispersed, leaving behind scattered corpses on the ground.

"The two of them have returned." "Yifeng, you've finally picked up a treasure this time!" Although this Flaming Cloud Scorpion was not a strange beast, its value was not one whit inferior to that of ordinary strange beasts. Furthermore, the number of corpses is so huge, and the price of a batch of Flaming Cloud Scorpion's corpses is definitely sky-high! "

Dugu Yifeng smiled. Indeed, although the Flaming Cloud Scorpion was only a relatively strong wild beast and could not be considered to be a strange beast, the scorpion poison on its body and the scorpion arm were very valuable. Especially that single scorpion tail, which was even used to make a General grade weapon.

Moreover, if the tail of this Fire Cloud Scorpion was used to forge a weapon, it could possibly add a few Fire Attribute Laws!

Although Dugu Yifeng had never considered the issue of money since he was young in the Immortal Sword Villa, he was still extremely excited when he encountered such a huge fortune this time around.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Dugu Feng smiled and said to Ling Wuchen, "Brother Wu Chen, since that's the case, why don't you hurry up and clean up the Fire Cloud Scorpion's corpse? If the scorpion poison of this Fire Cloud Scorpion is left on the ground, it will likely be very valuable. "

"Yes!" "Yes!" Ling Wuchen came back to his senses and went back to clean up the body of the Flaming Cloud Scorpion with his guards.

A moment later, the few of them packed up their spoils of war and continued forward. After all, their first goal in coming here was to eliminate the bandits.

During the time that he was cleaning the spoils of his battle, Dugu Yifeng had made some discoveries while patting the surrounding guards.

Originally, when Dugu Yifeng saw this group of scorpions, he had already judged wrongly. With the strength of their side, the Flaming Cloud Scorpion swarm could not pose any threat. However, if they were to rely on the remaining strength of the Fierce Demon Camp, they would definitely not be able to pass through this swarm of scorpions.

However, when the guard reported back to them, they found some traces behind the scorpions. Moreover, they had discovered a stone staircase!

A stone staircase continued to slant along the ground.

However, it was different this time compared to the previous stair …

Dugu Yifeng and the others walked over to take a look. At first glance, the stone staircase looked exactly the same as before. However, with the strength of the Pre-Sky Realm, Dugu Yifeng was able to detect a faint glow on it.

With another touch, the stone staircase seemed to be a bit fragile.

Looking ahead, there was a huge rock that was several tens of feet tall. On top of it, the word 'Gold' was very eye-catching.

"Everyone retreat!" Dugu Yifeng shouted to the guards behind him, "Don't look at that huge boulder!"

It was too late to say anything. A few of the guards had already seen the words written on the huge rock before Dugu Yifeng had spoken. When Dugu Yifeng spoke, a few miserable shrieks came out from their mouths at the same time.

"Ah …" "Eyes …"

Miserable screams sounded out one after another. However, when they moved their eyes away from the huge boulder with miserable cries, they were astounded to discover that their eyes, which felt as though they had been stabbed by a sharp sword, were actually … No pain.

Moments later, they finally calmed down. No one dared to look at this huge boulder again.

"Yifeng, this boulder is …" Ling Wuchen was one of the ones who had been staring at the boulder. However, his eyes showed nothing.

Dugu Yifeng stared at the golden character on the boulder and immediately felt a sharp sword intent coming straight at his eyes, carrying traces of a blazing fire.

"Don't ask too much. This boulder is not one that we can occasionally provoke right now." Dugu Yifeng gave the boulder a final look.

After a moment, he shifted his eyes and looked at the stone staircase. After releasing his consciousness, he began to investigate the inside of the stone stairs. Immediately, a look of doubt appeared on his face. After which, Ling Jianjue and the rest could feel a wave of Mental Energy sweeping from their bodies down to the ground.

"This staircase is not made of stone!" Dugu Yifeng retracted his consciousness and faced the group of people who were looking at him.

"Frowning, the surrounding people did not understand what he meant." What do you mean? This is not made out of stone? "

"Yes." "Yes." "I can't tell what material it is made of, but it's definitely not made of stone!"

The surrounding ground was definitely made of stone. As his consciousness swept across the ground and the stairs, he was able to clearly distinguish the difference between the two.

Most of the stairs they had seen so far were made of stone, and there were a few that were made of wood. But the materials of the staircase in front of them were completely beyond their comprehension.

For a time, the guards felt a sense of dread in their hearts.

First it was the boulder, then it was the stairs that were made from an unknown material. Strange things always made people afraid, not to mention that everything was so strange!

"Alright, stop thinking so much. Let's set off as soon as possible. With us up there making such a ruckus, it's hard to protect this rock. No one will hear anything at the bottom of the stairs. " Ling Wuchen was, after all, the oldest, so both Dugu Yifeng and Ling Jianjue secretly nodded their heads when he spoke.

Glancing at each other, they growled at the group of guards behind them, "Let's go!"
