Chapter 1966 Dread Shadow Scorpion

Chapter 1966 Dread Shadow Scorpion

A blurry object rose out of the scorpion beast's body having a dark color. This was the Nascent soul of the Scorpion beast which was till intact, as its Dantian had managed survived.

"Shrubby," Lin Mu uttered, causing the oversized feline to clamp its jaws around the Nascent Soul.

~SKWEE~

The Nascent Soul let out a miserable cry, as it tried to escape, but couldn't do so.

Flames burned in Little Shrubby's mouth, harming the soul as well making it cry even more.

"Wait, don't kill it yet." Xukong's voice was heard

"Stop!" Lin Mu immediately ordered.

"Mm?" Little Shrubby absorbed the flames, but still held onto the Nascent Soul.

"Senior Xukong needs to check something." Lin Mu spoke.

"Oh okay." Little Shrubby replied.

Lin Mu got closer to observe the Nascent Soul better and saw that it looked exactly the same as the beast's body.

"Hmm... There's no doubt, this is a Dread Shadow Scorpion." Xukong spoke.

"A Dread Shadow Scorpion?" Lin Mu didn't know about this.

"What are they?" Lin Mu asked wanting to know more.

"Dread Shadow Scorpions are sneaky beasts that are able to use the Shadow Dao. They can use this to activate their innate ability which allows them to enter the Shadows. This is called as Shadow Sneak and is hard to detect." Xukong answered.

"It does seem like a good option, but... do you want to spend your time in doing that?" Xukong asked. "Your goal in being here is to practice the Litany Of the Verdant Forest's isn't it?" He reminded Lin Mu.

"Yes... I shouldn't get distracted." Lin Mu understood.

"But that doesn't mean Little Shrubby can't search for it on his own." Xukong suggested instead.

"Ah yes! Of course." Lin Mu had almost forgotten that was an option.

"With your link, I don't think it'll be too troublesome for him. And his own skills and speed is more than enough to deal with most things." Xukong stated.

"Yeah, that'll be the better option." Lin Mu agreed.

Having consulted Xukong, Lin Mu decided to go ahead with it.

"Little Shrubby, there might be something in the forest that can help strengthen your Midnight Lynx bloodline. You should consume this Dread Shadow Scorpion's corpse and Nascent soul and see if it helps." Lin Mu advised.

"I can eat it all alone?" Little Shrubby's eyes lit up.

"Yeah." Lin Mu nodded.

"YES!" Little Shrubby was more than excited now.

~POOF~

Without even missing a second, Little Shrubby bit down on the Nascent soul and consumed it all. Then, he started to tear into the scorpion beast's corpse, his claws and fangs were cooking the beast, he had also torn and ate it up too, making some freshly grilled scorpion on the go.

Within just a few minutes, Little Shrubby had consumed the beast, leaving behind only the inedible parts, which were its carapace, pincers and the stingers.

"You can have those. I can't eat them." Little Shrubby handed them to Lin Mu.
