Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 252: Battle of the Pit (2)

Yiyin had never seen Diqi and the Barbary Lion in such a miserable state.

Even when he was about to abandon the Barbary Lion, Teach had never looked so dejected as he did now.

They were only a few minutes late, but in these few minutes, the Fire-Eating Scorpion was able to injure Di Qi so badly?

"do not come."

Di Qi clutched his chest and shouted, "The fire of the fire-eating scorpion may have a mental attack. I feel like my heart is being roasted by fire. Uh-"

Having said this, Di Qi suddenly squatted down uncomfortably. A lot of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was struggling to endure the pain brought by the burning sins.

"Diqi!"

Bubulu was shocked and rushed to support Diqi, but before he could succeed, he was stopped by Jiaozi.

"I just discovered that the Fire Scorpion, like Senior Albus's monster knight beetle, can both cause devastating damage to the Vine Demon. I think we should discuss a countermeasure. If we attack blindly, we may end up with the same result as Teach."

"Don't let it attack you at close range... The Fire-Eating Scorpion can burrow underground, so be careful..."

Before Di Qi could finish his staggering words, the fire-eating scorpion had already stuck behind them.

"Blue!"

The Sibuxiang seemed to hate the Fire-Eating Scorpion. As soon as it saw it approaching, it opened its mouth wide and spit out a purple ball of light.

The Sibu Xiang's reaction was so fast that even Bubulu didn't notice it.

However, the target of the Fire-Eating Scorpion’s attack was not Bubulu or Sibu Xiang, but Jiaozi!

It seemed that the Fire Scorpion had already learned from their previous conversation that Jiaozi couldn't risk the Ivy Monster's sudden death by letting him fight. So in the eyes of the Fire Scorpion, Jiaozi was undoubtedly the easiest target.

Of course, what the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion didn't know was that ever since Jiaozi was dragged by Bubuluo into the big pit, he had kept his third eye open.

Therefore, the little tricks of the fire-eating scorpion naturally could not escape Jiaozi's keen eyes.

Although Jiaozi cannot summon the vine monster, he has powerful ancient martial arts as his trump card.

He quickly picked up the fire-eating scorpion from behind and rolled with it.

"What a great opportunity! Jiaozi helped us pin down the Fire-Eating Scorpion. Now all we have to do is kill it and we're done!"

As he spoke, Yiyin gave Bubulu a wink, and the two decided to surround it from the front and back, and thus kill the fire-eating poisonous scorpion.

Unexpectedly, even though the fire-eating scorpion was trapped by Jiaozi, it still had the strength to fight back. The sickle on its back quietly rose, ready to give Jiaozi a fatal sneak attack when he was not paying attention.

Who would have thought that when the fire-eating scorpion was about to stab in, it heard the sound of a bullet flying through the air.

"biu~"

Fang Yixing did not blink or panic, and fired the fatal shot very calmly.

The fire-eating poisonous scorpion howled as its tail sickle was shot off by Fang Yixing!

"here you go!"

Before Jiaozi could properly praise Fang Yixing, he suddenly felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

"Uh……"

Jiaozi felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate. This was impossible. Did the Fire-Eating Scorpion just inflict some kind of strange fire on him, just like Di Qi?

Before Jiaozi could react, the Fire Scorpion pushed him aside and he fell next to Diqi.

There was no way Jiaozi's body was that weak. At least he wouldn't be pushed to the ground by the Fire Devouring Scorpion. This meant he must have been ambushed by the Fire Devouring Scorpion!

"Tiki, are you okay?"

Jiaozi asked, "Why do I feel such...pain..."

Di Qi analyzed, "According to my speculation, the fire of the Fire Scorpion is not just ordinary fire, but a strange fire that can burn the enemy spiritually."

"My eldest brother once told me that the five elements on Blue Star have many potential uses. The strange fire can punish enemies based on their sins..."

"Sin?"

Jiaozi suddenly remembered that night at the Dark Holy Well many years ago. Even though it had been so many years, the smell of blood and the wailing sounds at that time seemed still vivid in his mind.

Jiaozi could still hear Ilibu's roaring in his heart. He wanted to get out, to regain control of this body.

Dumpling panicked.

He thought that after meeting Taras, he could finally face his past. The evidence was the third eye on his forehead. The impure hearts of the Tianmu tribe could not open the third eye on their foreheads.

But Jiaozi was wrong. A person's mistakes don't fade with the passage of time. Instead, they become more and more vivid. This is Jiaozi's "sin."

"understand?"

Di Qi smiled bitterly and said, "It's the same with our Leighton family. Ever since we witnessed the tragedy of Lang Sheng, I have always wondered if the Leighton family and the Sharna family had continued to assist the Emperor of Lang Sheng, would I not have had to kill Saint Germain with my own hands? It was because of our intervention that fate formed a closed loop."

Di Qi and Jiaozi discussed it for a long time, concluding that the Fire Scorpion's "Sin Purification Flame" was practically untreatable. Because everyone has "sin," it's impossible to escape the inner torment.

Looking at the Fire-Eating Scorpion again, even though one of its tail sickles was broken and it would take some time for it to grow back, it didn't seem to be panicking at all. As long as it could defeat them one by one, these few people would be nothing to worry about.

"Fang Yixing, do you have any way to subdue him?"

Yi Yin had to calm down. In the blink of an eye, they had already lost two powerful generals, Jiaozi and Diqi. If they continued fighting like this, they might be completely wiped out.

Never underestimate your opponent, even if it is just a small scorpion.

Fang Yixing knew that he might be on a pirate ship, and he killed Albert with his own hands. He absolutely could not be shot down by an unknown guy in such a place.

So, Fang Yixing answered sincerely, "I'm sorry, I can't do that. But..."

"My father was a master weapon maker. The weapons he crafted were no less skilled than those made by the Cell dwarves. However, he was a low-key person, and his reputation remained unknown. He said he left me a peerless artifact. With it, I should be able to punish the Fire-Eating Scorpion..."

"Where is the artifact?" Yi Yin asked anxiously.

Fang Yixing laughed twice, then replied sheepishly:

"I don't know. My father died before he could tell me. But I think it must still be hidden in my house. To be honest, this hotel used to be my home, which means it's very likely still here, so I thought of trying my luck here..."

Yi Yin felt like he was crazy. He actually placed his hopes on a precious sword that he didn't know if it even existed in this world.
