The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

There are two marked points where the black scorpion is located, and it is also the only way for Matthew to go to other marked points.

Taking out the cloud cover and covering himself, Matthew hid in the fork road and observed the black scorpion.

He planned to wait until the black scorpion was full and left before coming out.

He did not know the black scorpion and did not know its strength, so he would not act rashly.

The black scorpion did not find Matthew hiding not far away from it, and continued to eat the corpse on its body.

Although the black scorpion is quite large, it eats very slowly.

It can even be described as chewing slowly.

Matthew waited for half an hour before he saw the black scorpion finish eating the corpse.

Seeing that the black scorpion was about to leave after eating, a sudden voice came from another fork road.

Matthew frowned immediately when he heard the voice, but did not move.

The black scorpion, who was about to leave, was also attracted by the sudden sound. Its small eyes stared at the fork in the road where the sound came from, and its long tail stood up in a fighting posture.

Under the gaze of Matthew and the black scorpion, a figure rushed out from the fork in the road.

This person was not very old, and looked less than 30 years old. He was wearing the clothes of the Nine Star Sect.

When this person came out of the fork in the road, his face was full of fear. When he saw a huge black scorpion in front of him, he was so scared that he screamed.

Without any hesitation, the Nine Star Sect monk took out a talisman from the storage bag.

After activating it, the talisman turned into a firebird with wings spread out for a full ten feet.

"Firebird Talisman!" Matthew's face changed slightly when he saw the firebird appear.

This is a mid-level talisman that can only be drawn by foundation-building monks. This person actually has such a talisman.

After the firebird appeared, it flapped its wings and flew towards the black scorpion.

Seeing this, the black scorpion hissed and swung its body towards the firebird.

As soon as the black scorpion moved, the firebird opened its mouth and immediately sprayed a column of fire.

The black scorpion did not dare to take the fire column head-on, and swung its thin feet to dodge to the side.

After forcing the black scorpion back with one blow, the firebird flapped its wings and sprayed flames at the black scorpion again.

The firebird suppressed the black scorpion, but the Nine Star Sect monk did not show any joy on his face, and his eyes kept looking at the fork in the road where he came out.

At this time, a cracking sound was heard.

Matthew hurriedly looked over and saw that the fork in the road was forcibly broken.

A huge blood-colored centipede rushed out.

"Flying blood centipede!" The moment he saw the centipede, Matthew almost exclaimed.

When he came to the battlefield, he had seen many flying blood centipedes.

But he never thought that there would be such a thing under this mineral vein.

As far as he knew, the Flying Blood Centipede was unique to the Blood Cloud Sect, so how could it appear here?

Matthew felt that his brain was not able to react.

When he checked the Flying Blood Centipede again, he found some differences.

Although the Flying Blood Centipede in front of him was large enough, it was still a little different from the ones he had seen before.

This one was not as big as the ones that attacked the Qingyun Boat, and it had no wings.

"This Flying Blood Centipede should be underage." Matthew guessed in his heart.

When the Nine Star Sect monk saw the Flying Blood Centipede coming out, he ran away without thinking.

Coincidentally, the direction he ran away was exactly the fork in the road where Matthew was hiding.

There were many wounds on the head of the Flying Blood Centipede, and some of the wounds still had dark green liquid.

Seeing that the Nine Star Sect monk was about to escape, the Flying Blood Centipede let out a roar and its thin feet swung continuously.

After the Flying Blood Centipede appeared, the Firebird immediately gave up the black scorpion and turned to attack the Flying Blood Centipede.

Seeing this, the black scorpion that was being beaten by the firebird actually ran away from the broken fork in the road.

The flying blood centipede that was about to chase was also extremely angry when it saw the firebird blocking it.

It spurted out streams of dark green gas from its mouth to attack the firebird.

But the firebird was originally transformed by spiritual energy and would not be afraid at all.

Facing the dark green gas, it kept spurting out pillars of fire from its mouth to fight back.

When the firebird and the flying blood centipede were fighting hard, the monks of the Nine Star Sect had already entered the fork in the road where Matthew was.

When this person left, he also threw out a few talismans.

After being activated, the talismans turned into several fireballs and flew towards the flying blood centipede.

Matthew hid in the cloud cover, and this person did not notice it.

After recognizing the talisman, he ran away without looking back.

Now, it was Matthew's turn to be in trouble.

He knew that the road behind him was his retreat. If he followed the Nine Star Sect monk and left, the mission would definitely fail.

But if he didn't leave, he didn't have the confidence to deal with the flying blood centipede.

What worried him most was that he was not sure how many flying blood centipedes there were here. If there was only one, it would be fine.

Just as Matthew was thinking about what to do, a scream came from behind him.

He was startled and quickly scanned with his spiritual sense.

He saw that the Nine Star Sect monk had fallen to the ground four or five feet away from him.

And in front of him was a black scorpion.

Matthew had seen the black scorpion escape from the fork in the road and didn't take it seriously, but he never thought that this guy had sneaked into the fork in the road where he was and attacked the Nine Star Sect monk.

Just a glance at Matthew knew that the Nine Star Sect monk was doomed.

The black scorpion's terrifying tail hook had pierced the man's head.

After dealing with the Nine Star Sect monk, the black scorpion should have been full and did not look at the corpse on the ground. It turned around and left.

Seeing this, Matthew's mind turned quickly and he hurriedly followed.

When passing the corpse, Matthew also took away the storage bag on the corpse.

His movements were very careful, and the black scorpion in front of him did not notice it at all.

In his opinion, since the black scorpion could appear here, there must be a secret passage connecting the two forks nearby.

As Matthew thought, a gap appeared in the middle of the fork.

After seeing the black scorpion crawl into the gap, Matthew followed it in.

When he passed here before, there was no gap. It should have been dug out by the black scorpion just now.

Matthew is now a little curious about the identity of this scorpion. It was able to quietly open up two forks in such a short time.

When Matthew entered the gap, his doubts were immediately solved.

This passage was not opened by the black scorpion. It was known that it was dug by humans because it was smooth all around.

The reason why he didn't find it before was that the two ends of this secret passage were sealed by someone, and the black scorpion just broke the seals on both sides.

Matthew didn't know who left this secret passage, but it was life-saving for him.

After the black scorpion came out from the other end of the secret passage, it disappeared quickly.

Looking at the scratches of varying depths around the fork road, Matthew was sure that this was the one that the Nine Star Sect monks had just come out of.

These scratches were obviously caused by the flying blood centipede entering the narrow fork road.
