Longevity starts with learning

"Huh..."

Chu Mu let out a long breath.

At this moment, looking at this desert sea again, there was a clear worry between his eyebrows.

Although there is not much solid evidence to support his series of speculations,

But there is no doubt that this speculation can give a perfect explanation for all the doubts and weirdness he encountered after entering this relic cave.

However, if he can choose, he would rather his speculation is wrong.

Sand-tailed scorpion mother...

Just these four words, for any cultivator, it is probably as heavy as a mountain.

Not to mention being in the suppression place of the sand-tailed scorpion mother.

Not to mention being forced to fly into the fire, even this suppression place is likely to have a big flaw...

"Daoyou?"

Seeing that Chu Mu did not respond for a long time, Qin Zhaoxue could not help asking.

At this time, Chu Mu seemed to come back to his senses from his heavy thoughts.

At this moment, with the sudden emergence of that will, a dark blackness like thick ink appeared in the sky, coming from far to near. In just a few breaths, it was only a few hundred feet away from here.

At this moment, under the control of that will, the body of the sand-tailed scorpion that had concealed itself from the world, like the other sand-tailed scorpions around it, all rushed towards the dark blackness frantically.

As dark as thick ink, the ghost energy surged like a tide, and every strand of ghost energy was transformed into various strange and eerie ghosts.

All the sand-tailed scorpions that came along the way, when they came into contact with these ghosts, were like sheep entering the mouth of a tiger, and were swallowed alive by the ghosts and became part of the dark ghost energy.

"Get out!"

In the ghost energy, there was an angry shout, and then the dark clouds surged and evolved, and in an instant, a towering dark giant of dozens of feet was formed.

The giant was surrounded by ghosts, and it seemed that he was a burly man.

The giant raised his hand and clenched it, and a giant hammer with a cold metallic glow fell down.

With a thunderous roar, the yellow sand pit was filled with dust, and all the sand-tailed scorpions within a few hundred feet around the giant were instantly annihilated without leaving any trace.

At this moment, the giant's goal was clear, and his eyes were instantly fixed on the white stone tablet that was like a sword soaring into the sky.

The giant jumped up, but the distance was only a few hundred feet, which was almost just one step.

Boom!

There was another roar, and the giant half-crouched in front of the stone tablet. Almost at the same time, accompanied by the ripples and flickering of the stone tablet, the third line of mysterious font also appeared on the stone tablet.

"Xie Zang: Scorpion eggs are mature."

When the font appeared, the next moment, the stone tablet, which was originally standing calmly, seemed to tremble abruptly, and then a faint white light emerged.

At this moment, it seemed that something was summoned. The giant disappeared visibly, and finally turned into a sturdy giant standing in front of the stone tablet.

At the same time, the soft white fluorescence condensed into a palm-sized jade talisman, which fell into the hands of the strong man.

The strong man felt relieved, and the jade talisman in his hand burst into a dazzling light, which fell on the mountain protection formation behind the stone tablet.

The towering mountain protection formation, under the effect of this fluorescence, also rippled visibly, and then a portal appeared.

The strong man took a step out and disappeared into the portal.

And that portal disappeared without a trace almost the moment the strong man stepped in, as if it had never existed.

And when the strong man disappeared, the sand-tailed scorpions that were originally rioting around him seemed to have lost their target again at this moment, and they calmed down again in an instant.

This scene was naturally clear in the eyes of Chu Mu and the others.

The two looked at each other, as if they had a telepathic connection. The next moment, the seamless disguise slowly faded away.

The connection with the fluctuation of will was broken, and the effect of the Qitian Pill disappeared.

As the aura of each soul was revealed...

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The countless sand-tailed scorpions around them, which had just calmed down for a moment, were all violent again without exception. The beast eyes without any divine light were instantly locked on the two people standing in the air.

Roar, roar, roar!

The beast roars continued, showing the violent intention, but looking around, except for the surging waves, there was no emotional fluctuation of the living creatures.

There was only numbness that was almost indifferent, and every sand-tailed scorpion was like this!

"Get up!"

Chu Mu shouted in a low voice, and as his green shirt fluttered, he stretched out his hand and raised it, and a touch of red true fire hung in his palm.

Although it was just a smear of red, it seemed as heavy as Mount Tai at this moment. At the moment when the true fire emerged, the space seemed to be burned and distorted. The dozens of sand-tailed scorpions rushing over in a radius of hundreds of feet seemed to be self-igniting. With every step, the red flames emerging from the monster bodies became more and more intense.

Although it was only a few hundred feet away, it seemed like a forbidden area for living things. In just a few breaths, these dozens of sand-tailed scorpions, almost visible to the naked eye, turned from flesh and blood into powder and ash that sank into the yellow sand.

And in Chu Mu's palm, this smear of red was still twisting and changing, as viscous as magma and as hot as the scorching sun.

This time, Chu Mu did not save any more mana, and all his magnificent spirit was poured into the condensed and evolving red true fire in his hand.

The true fire surged, and as Chu Mu's arm slowly moved horizontally, a flaming long sword condensed by red true fire slowly appeared in front of Chu Mu.

When the flaming long sword took shape, there seemed to be a knife sound in the dark, a bright light suddenly appeared, and another cold blade was parallel to the flaming long sword.

"Merge!"

Chu Mu shouted in a low voice!

The sword intent and true fire, two carriers, two forces, at this moment, almost for the first time in a long time, merged together again.

The three-foot blade hung in the sky, red and silver intertwined, and the space was distorted. In the end, under this terrifying and fierce destruction, this illusory space seemed to be unable to withstand such horror, and collapsed in large areas.

And when the space collapsed, it seemed to confirm Chu Mu's speculation again.

This space is indeed not the real world, but just an illusory evolution.

After the collapsed space, it was not a normal space turbulence, but a dazzling golden light that was almost blinding. The golden light was boundless and surging like a tide.

But when Chu Mu used his spiritual sense to explore it, this endless golden light disappeared without a trace like an illusion. The broken and collapsed space seemed to have an invisible force emerging. In an instant, it was repaired as good as before without any abnormality.

Chu Mu frowned slightly, thinking for only a moment, and his eyes were fixed on the endless sand-tailed scorpion tide in front of him again.

Condensing scorpion eggs, nurturing scorpion eggs, and maturing scorpion eggs...

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, he slowly raised his hand, clenched his palm, and the three-foot-long sword with red and silver intertwined was held in his palm.

The blade was raised high and then slowly fell down.

It was a very ordinary knife, and there was not even much mana fluctuation.

And when the blade fell completely...

Boom!

With a roar, yellow sand filled the sky, dust flew, and a gully stretching for hundreds of feet also spread wantonly in this sea of ​​sand.

Wherever the knife marks spread, countless sand-tailed scorpions were annihilated.

At this moment, Chu Mu did not care about the results of his knife, but closed his eyes slightly. In an instant, his consciousness was focused on the dazzling scarlet on his wrist.

At this moment, in his perception, the "scorpion egg" on his wrist was like a black hole. The moment the blade was annihilated, the black hole burst out with an indescribable terrifying suction.

When his knife fell, all the sand-tailed scorpions that belonged to his power seemed to have a wisp of residual soul emerging.

Under the influence of this terrifying suction, countless "residual souls" were swallowed by this black hole.

With one knife, at least hundreds of sand-tailed scorpions were annihilated.

The scorpion egg on his wrist seemed to have eaten something tonic. A feeling of satisfaction, accompanied by the joy of growth, was clearly reflected in Chu Mu's perception.

Chu Mu raised his eyebrows. He was obviously not expecting to be able to sense the existence of the scorpion egg so easily.

After all, no matter how he sensed the scorpion egg, whether it was condensed or after it appeared, he could not detect any trace.

Now, it was so easy and so clear to sense the changes of the scorpion egg...

The surprise was only for a moment. The next moment, Chu Mu's eyes condensed slightly and he made a decision in his heart.

His spiritual sense was like a knife. A sharp edge suddenly appeared. He took advantage of this opportunity to perceive and penetrated into the inside of the scorpion egg without hesitation.

But the next moment, Chu Mu was struck by lightning and his face suddenly turned pale.

Eyes, nose, mouth, ears...

All of them were oozing with blood!

And the oozing blood was not the normal scarlet, but almost mottled black.

Moreover, the moment the blood seeped out, it turned into black ash and scattered.

"Huh..."

Chu Mu took a deep breath and exhaled it for a long time. His breathing was dull, as if he had experienced unspeakable horror, and as if he was grateful for surviving a disaster.

A moment of time is very short, very short.

But in this world of cultivating immortals, a moment of time can sometimes be very long, very long.

He took the opportunity to break the scorpion egg and peek inside, which was only a moment!

But this moment, in that moment, seemed like a glance for ten thousand years...

He saw countless creatures, countless races, all turned into mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and turned into nutrients for the reproduction and healing of the sand-tailed scorpion mother.

Countless resentful souls roared in anger, countless broken limbs, countless piles of corpses and blood...

The ground was covered with white bones, blood flowed like a river, and resentful souls and evil ghosts roamed the world...

It seemed that...all the darkness and evil in this world were contained in that scorpion egg...

...
