#33 - Chapter 33: Hundreds of Families in Danger, One Heart for Harvest
White Bone Mountain, just as its name suggests, the mountain's body is the pale color of bones. The stones on the mountain are also unlike the rocks of Green Reed Mountain, but rather bone-textured bone stones.
White Bone Mountain is not as deathly silent as its appearance suggests, but is instead full of vitality. Not only does it host many special plants, but also a large number of unique Gu beasts, with many bone-related wild Gu worms寄托on them.
With One Mind steadily seated atop the Swallowing River Toad, he gazes afar at this extraordinary and eye-catching, peculiar mountain peak.
“The Hundred Families Village explored White Bone Mountain ten years ago due to the depletion of the Origin Spring, but White Bone Mountain is a wild mountain, gathering a large number of wild beasts, Gu worms, and deadly plants. The level of danger is extraordinary. With their strength, and without guidance, they absolutely could not have discovered the inheritance here.”
This is the current situation of the Hundred Families Village, which One Mind is well aware of. “Although I know the future development, I am not omniscient or omnipotent. White Bone Mountain is so large, relying solely on myself to search, how long will it take to find it? This Hundred Families Village may be of some assistance.”
The leader, Bai Zhanfeng, has a solemn expression. His weathered face reveals the calmness of age. Beside him, a dozen strong young men follow closely. Although they are all burly, they are all nervous and on high alert.
The group crept forward, lowering their breaths, and slowly approached a cave.
Outside the cave, behind the paper-white, jagged grass, Bai Zhanfeng and his group stopped and hid.
Looking at the dark and deep cave entrance, Bai Zhanfeng said in a deep voice: “The Bone Piercing Scorpion is a Rank 4 Gu worm. Its white bone body is as hard as steel, its pair of pincers are extremely sharp, and the tail needle behind it contains fierce poison.”
He looked around and, seeing everyone gathered around, instructed: “Everyone, pay attention and act according to the plan. If we solve it, our Bai Family can further explore White Bone Mountain. You will all be heroes of the clan at that time, understand?”
“Understood! Elder Zhanfeng.”
The crowd replied in low voices.
Bai Zhanfeng nodded and said nothing more, but instead threw an object towards the cave entrance.
This object was an incense burner, crafted with gilded craftsmanship, magnificent and extraordinary. Wisps of white smoke rose through the hollowed-out top cover, curling upwards, dreamlike and illusionary.
The rising fragrance was rich and powerful, flowing far and wide, making people feel relaxed and happy, as if they were in a peaceful and serene fairyland. More miraculously, this incense not only made people feel comfortable, but even the Gu worms were attracted to it. Before long, some bone-like flying insects flew out of the white bone forest, circling around the incense burner playfully.
Watching more and more wild Gu worms gather near the incense burner, Bai Zhanfeng nodded slightly, “This Treasure Incense Burner was obtained by the clan at great expense from an auction. The fragrance is specially formulated to lure Gu worms. This Bone Piercing Scorpion hides in its cave, dormant and unmoving. The clan wanted to explore, but was attacked, suffering heavy losses. Now, the clan leader has given me this Treasure Incense Burner to lure you out of the cave and capture you in one fell swoop.”
This Treasure Incense Burner was indeed powerful. As more and more white smoke entered the cave with the wind, the heavy sounds became clearer and clearer.
Bai Zhanfeng's expression changed, “It's coming.”, and he immediately directed everyone to hide.
“Boom boom boom”
A huge figure emerged from the deep cave. Its size was like a cargo ship. A scorpion shape was constructed of pale bones, without flesh and blood. The wheel-sized pincers moved back and forth, making a sound like metal striking metal. Behind it, a thick bone tail was as long as its body, with a sharp and curved end, like a sharp blade. Two empty eye sockets glowed with deep blue ghost fire.
“Gagaga”
It made excited and joyful cries from its mouth, trotting all the way to the Treasure Incense Burner, using its mouthparts to suck the white smoke emanating from the incense burner.
As soon as the Bone Piercing Scorpion appeared, Bai Zhanfeng did not rush to act, but instead gestured to everyone hiding in various places.
After waiting for a while, the Bone Piercing Scorpion seemed satisfied, and actually hugged the Treasure Incense Burner in its arms, curled up its body, and made bursts of snoring sounds.
Bai Zhanfeng was overjoyed: “Good, the 'Bewitching Fragrance' mixed in the incense is working.”
He waved his hand, and everyone immediately rushed out in single file.
With One Mind leisurely sat on top of the Swallowing River Toad, looking at the White Bone Forest, which could be called a spectacle, looking like a sightseeing tour, but in fact, he had some doubts in his heart: “I've been wandering around for so long, why haven't I seen anyone from the Hundred Families Village? Is it possible that they haven't come to explore White Bone Mountain yet? That's impossible.”
Just as he was puzzled and preparing to find a place to rest for a while, a series of screams came from the front.
“What's going on?”
One Mind felt something was wrong. He directed the Swallowing River Toad to slowly approach and carefully observed the situation ahead.
“Hundred Families Village?!”
In front of his vision, on an open space outside the cave, eight or nine people were fighting with a huge scorpion.
This group of people wore uniform clothes. The younger ones looked like eight people. The Gu Master belts all had Rank 2 Gu Master badges, and only one elder had a Rank 3 Gu Master badge on his belt.
These people all had varying degrees of damage. The seriously injured were even missing arms and legs, but compared to the corpses lying on the ground, they were extremely lucky.
“Elder Zhanfeng, Ah Hu can't hold on anymore!” A young Gu Master hugged a companion who had lost his lower body, looking anxiously at Bai Zhanfeng.
Bai Zhanfeng was also under great pressure at the moment. The Bone Piercing Scorpion's offensive was extremely fierce. The sharp pincers like blades kept clamping at him. He could only fully activate the Movement Gu to dodge. Even if he had a Defense Gu, he didn't dare to be clamped by the opponent. After all, several companions before had used the Defense Gu, but were still solved by the Bone Piercing Scorpion as easily as cutting tofu. Ah Hu, who was about to die, was like that.
Feeling the true essence in his body decreasing, Bai Zhanfeng regretted taking on this task even more. He originally thought that with the assistance of the Treasure Incense Burner and a dozen good hands from the clan, he would definitely be able to easily capture this Rank 4 Gu worm after the Bewitching Fragrance took effect.
But he never expected that although the Bewitching Fragrance had worked on the Bone Piercing Scorpion, the effect was too poor. Just as everyone used the Rank 1 Iron Chain Gu to tie it up, the opponent suddenly woke up and instantly killed one person. With one less person holding the iron chain, the Bone Piercing Scorpion had the ability to move.
In fact, in White Bone Mountain, the Bone Piercing Scorpion is one of the best overlords, and its combat power far exceeds Bai Zhanfeng's imagination, but it stays in the cave all year round and likes to forage at night, so the Hundred Families Village knows very little about it, which is why they wrongly estimated its strength and information. Otherwise, they would never have only sent Elder Bai Zhanfeng.
Now that the Bewitching Fragrance has failed and many people have died in battle, this mission has already failed. How to escape with the survivors is what Bai Zhanfeng needs to consider now.
“Gagaga”
The Bone Piercing Scorpion waved its sharp pincers and roared. Bai Zhanfeng was so frightened that his soul flew away. He hurriedly activated the Gu worm to retreat while blocking.
The Bone Piercing Scorpion missed a clamp and became even more angry. The blue fire in its eyes burst into flames, vowing to smash the "worm" that disturbed its sweet dream into pieces.
Looking at the increasingly terrifying Bone Piercing Scorpion, Bai Zhanfeng's heart jumped wildly and cold sweat dripped. He no longer wanted to contain this beast for the sake of his clansmen.
“As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.”
“Life and death are up to fate, little ones, you are destined to die, Elder, I will ask for more subsidies for you.”
He quickly made trade-offs in his heart and immediately flew over the young Gu Masters in front.
“Elder Zhanfeng!”
Several people exclaimed, but before they could say the second sentence, the Bone Piercing Scorpion instantly divided them in two.
“Quick! Quick! Quick!”
“I can escape, I can escape!”
Listening to the screams behind him, Bai Zhanfeng rushed forward desperately, ignoring everything. Feeling the Bone Piercing Scorpion's roar getting farther and farther behind him, he couldn't help but laugh wildly: “I escaped, I escaped, I escaped!”
“I!”
“Ugh!”
Bai Zhanfeng's sprinting figure stopped. He stopped in his tracks and lowered his head in disbelief. A huge scorpion tail directly pierced his chest, and the sharp tail needle stood in front of his eyes.
“Gagaga”
The Bone Piercing Scorpion looked at the “worm” in front of it that had been hit, and the ghostly blue fire in its eye sockets jumped excitedly. The guy who disturbed its beautiful dream still died in its hands.
The Bone Piercing Scorpion, having "taken revenge", had no interest in playing with the other party, so it swung its scorpion tail, and Bai Zhanfeng's body was instantly launched like a cannonball, hitting several trees before falling to the ground.
The Bone Piercing Scorpion, feeling better after solving the "worm", couldn't wait to rush back. It now wanted to take the fragrant treasure back to its nest, after all, its sweet dream was not over yet. That scorpion sister was so white and fragrant, and her scorpion tail was so long and bright.
After a burst of urgent footsteps, it finally returned to the open space, but the treasure was not on the ground.
The treasure was gone!
The Bone Piercing Scorpion was so anxious that the fire in its eyes sprayed out directly. It stomped its feet like an ant on a hot pot, and the tail behind it swayed wildly.
It twisted its body, looking around, lifting up the “broken worms” lying on the ground one by one.
No, no, no,
Where is it, where is it, where is it!
Suddenly, a fragrance came, and the ghostly blue fire rose sharply. The Bone Piercing Scorpion excitedly raised its head, “Found it!”
But its excitement immediately turned into anger.
A thing that was the same as the fragile "worms" just now, he leaned lazily against a white bone tree, playing with the treasure in his hand, looking at himself with a calm face.
“Gagaga!” (Looking for death!)
The Bone Piercing Scorpion shouted loudly and suddenly lunged forward. Two huge pincers and a scorpion tail popped out instantly, attacking One Mind in a triangular formation.
At this moment of life and death, One Mind remained motionless. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and there was a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Seeing that the "worm" did not react, the Bone Piercing Scorpion's anger was even greater, and its figure accelerated even more. Seeing that the sharp pincers were about to divide One Mind in two, and the pointed tail needle was about to pierce his body.
The Bone Piercing Scorpion couldn't help but laugh loudly,
“Gagaga!” (Die!)
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a huge water column, stirring up a sonic boom, directly hit the side of the Bone Piercing Scorpion's body, instantly blasting it hundreds of meters away.
In the puddle, the Bone Piercing Scorpion weakly raised its head, watching a huge body like a mountain slowly appear, hopping and jumping, coming behind the “worm”.
That great body seemed to be asking for credit, opening its mouth towards him, and he threw out a shining stone with a pampered look.
In a burst of smacking sounds, the Bone Piercing Scorpion fainted.
