957 Subduing the flying Scorpion

300 km Southwest of high heaven city was a mountain range. These mountains were steep and deep, covered by forests, and there were all kinds of birds and beasts in the forests. Even in broad daylight, one could see the clouds lingering in the mountains. Standing at a high place, one could see the waves and clouds flying under the mountains, and the water vapor rising. Occasionally, when the sun shone into some deep valleys, one could even see some darkness in them. Or a rainbow-like poisonous miasma.

Two hundred kilometers into this mountainous area, there was a steep cliff that looked like a Sword’s Edge. Deep ravines and ravines crisscrossed under the sword’s edge. This deep valley was covered in a layer of black fog all year round, and strange trees with jagged leaves grew in the deep valley. On both sides of the mountain walls and cracks, there were many pitch-black holes with a diameter of more than two meters that led underground. This was the flying Scorpion nest that was closest to high heaven city.

Xia Pingan’s judgment was correct.

Just now, when high heaven city’s defensive array had been activated, the power of the five elements within tens of thousands of square kilometers of high heaven city had surged. In the blink of an eye, the area where high heaven city was located in the distance had been completely covered by fog. This disturbance had naturally alerted the flying scorpions in the nest.

These flying scorpions lived underground and were most sensitive to changes in earth energy. The moment there was a big movement in high firmament city, the flying scorpions here immediately sensed it.

One after another, huge mature flying scorpions quickly came out of the caves in the valley.

These flying scorpions, when they matured, not including the length of their tails, just the length of their heads, chests, and abdomens were between five to seven meters. Including their tails, the length of their bodies was about twelve to fifteen meters, which could be called huge. The flying scorpions were pitch-black all over as if they were covered with a layer of hard armor. They had 8 legs on both sides of their slim and long bodies. Their tails with poisonous stingers stood on their hindquarters like flagpoles. In front of their bodies, there was a pair of huge pincers. The only difference between them and common scorpions was that there was a pair of pitch-black and slim insect-like shells on the back of their hindquarters. Under the shells, there were wings of these flying scorpions.

The flying scorpions that came out of the caves ran as if they were flying in the deep and rugged Valley. Some of the flying scorpions climbed onto the tall trees in the valley in the blink of an eye, while some of the flying scorpions walked on the vertical cliffs as if they were on flat ground. After a short while, many flying scorpions climbed to the top of the sword-like cliffs and peaks. They looked in the direction of high heaven city with their blood-red eyes, the poisonous needles on their tails swaying with a vigilant look.

Red-crowned cranes moved very fast, especially when they used gliding skills. They could reach above 200 km/H. With the blessing of secret methods, Xia Pingan’s speed easily broke through 400 km/H.

Therefore, after leaving Lingxiao city, Xia Pingan took about an hour to fly to the mountain area.

In order not to ‘alert the Scorpions’, Xia Pingan, who was flying in the air, even cast an invisible illusion on his facility so that the flying scorpions could not discover him.

When Xia ping ‘an arrived in the sky above the nest of the flying scorpions, she didn’t have to look for them at all. She could already see the huge flying scorpions on the mountaintop looking in the direction of high firmament city.

Of course, these flying scorpions didn’t notice that Xia Pingan had already flown over their heads and was circling in the air.

these flying scorpions really don’t look like they can be dealt with by ordinary soldiers, ” Xia Pingan said softly as he observed these flying scorpions from the air. Judging from their appearance, the attacking power of these flying scorpions ‘huge pincers was already shocking. Moreover, the poisonous stingers on their tails could penetrate the target from all angles from a high altitude during a battle, making it impossible for one to guard against them. Moreover, the outer shell of these flying scorpions looked like a layer of iron plate. Ordinary arrows might be able to hit it. Moreover, the fact that these flying scorpions could easily climb to the top of the mountain in such a dangerous environment showed that they were very athletic. Their running speed was probably faster than ordinary horses.

Looking at the flying scorpions that had built their nests beside his bed, Xia Pingan felt a headache for a moment. He was afraid that he would need to consume a lot of divine power to eliminate these flying scorpions. If he left these flying scorpions here without a care, they might turn out in full strength and attack high firmament city, ruining his plan.

What to do?

Perhaps it was due to good fortune, Xia Pingan suddenly recalled his experience in subduing those warship birds on that small island. After he released the aura of the six-winged King Roc, subduing those warship birds became exceptionally easy. Although the intelligence and information that Cui Hao had obtained previously said that it would be very difficult for Summoners to subdue these wandering tribes, he had not tried it before. Why not try and see if he could subdue them by releasing the aura of the six-winged ROC King? Even if he couldn’t subdue them, he wouldn’t lose anything. At the very least, he would be able to intimidate these flying scorpions so that they wouldn’t cause trouble for him in the future.

With this thought in mind, Xia ping ‘an’s spirit was suddenly lifted. The eye of heavenly Dao opened, and the entire Valley where the flying Scorpion was located suddenly appeared in another scene in Xia ping’ an’s eyes.

With the eye of heavenly Dao, the underground structure of the entire Valley and the internal structure of the mountain appeared in front of Xia Pingan at once. It was a huge nest of flying scorpions. In this nest, these flying scorpions had turned into balls of translucent dark red flames. In the depths of the mountain, there was a ball of dark golden flames that was particularly dazzling. Its size was twice that of ordinary flying scorpions. That ball of flames was the king of these flying scorpions.

There were at least 10000 flying scorpions in this nest; instead of over 3000 as was told by Cui Hao. As most of them were hiding in the nest, the former spies didn’t find them.

In addition to these flying scorpions, Xia ping ‘an finally found a boundary talisman condensed from the nest of the flying scorpions.

Previously, Xia Pingan had seen the man-eating bees and the battleship bird’s nest’s boundary talismans with bright colors and bright flames. However, the boundary talismans in the flying Scorpion’s nest in front of her had no flames. Their colors were like ashes that had been burned, or like cold stones, and they were no longer alive.

Xia Pingan thought that this might be the reason why it was difficult for Summoners to summon these wandering races.

With the intention of giving it a try, Xia ping ‘an released a trace of his innate Natal spirit creature’s aura toward the flying scorpions and their nests in the valley. However, as soon as he released the aura, Xia ping’ an saw that the flying scorpions on the mountain peak, in the valley, and hidden in their nests, seemed to be frozen in an instant. Under the pressure of his aura, they all sprawled on the ground. Even their raised tails shrank, trembling and letting out waves of mournful cries.

Under the eye of heavenly Dao, the dark flames on the bodies of all the flying scorpions were contracting and trembling, like candles in the wind.

Birds were the natural enemies of scorpions, let alone a top-level existence like the ROC King.

It worked!

Xia Pingan was overjoyed!

Since that was the case, it would be easy to handle!

Xia ping ‘an directly revealed himself and flew into the valley. Under the gaze of countless flying scorpions, he walked into the cave of the flying Scorpion nest as if there was no one else around and directly entered the interior of the nest.

The hole that could allow the huge flying scorpions to enter and exit was already big enough for people to enter.

The nest of flying scorpions was especially dark. Thankfully, there was a Natural Fluorite mine in the mountain and underground. Not knowing whether it was a coincidence or that these flying scorpions chose to build their nest here on purpose, the pale green luster of the fluorite adorned the nest of flying scorpions, making it less depressing.

Under the trembling gaze of all the flying scorpions, Xia Pingan arrived at the deepest part of the nest in just a few moments. He saw that the nest was densely packed with flying scorpions of all sizes, as well as the flying Scorpion King, whose entire body was golden.

All the flying scorpions prostrated on the ground, trembling, not daring to move.

In the mountain behind the flying Scorpion King, the boundary talisman of the flying Scorpion’s nest was hidden.

With the intention of giving it a try, Xia Pingan once again tried to use his own divine power to wrap a trace of the six-winged ROC King’s aura and invade the dimmed flying Scorpion boundary talisman.

In just a few seconds, the dim boundary talisman of the flying Scorpion’s nest greedily devoured Xia Pingan’s divine power like a dry sponge that had encountered water. After Xia Pingan had consumed nearly 1000 points of divine power, the originally gray boundary talisman of the flying Scorpion’s nest seemed to have been activated again. It suddenly burned up and emitted a brilliant red light.

When the boundary talisman in the nest of the flying scorpions started to burn again, Xia Pingan suddenly felt a close connection with these flying scorpions. All the flying scorpions in the nest had suddenly become his summoned creatures.

All the flying scorpions in the nest became excited at once. They were No Longer Quivering, afraid, or fearful; instead, they became extremely excited. Under the eye of heavenly Dao, the gloomy flames on the bodies of all the flying scorpions no longer shrank or quivered; instead, they emitted more dazzling brilliance.

The dense horde of flying scorpions swarmed toward Xia ping ‘an. The flying Scorpion King obediently crawled in front of Xia ping ‘an and used its huge pincers to gently rub against Xia ping’ an’s leg. Then, it laid down on the ground.

A few minutes later, Xia Pingan rode out of the nest on the back of the flying Scorpion King with a happy smile on his face.

Three hours later, when Xia Pingan appeared outside Lingxiao city with seven hundred flying scorpions, Xue Rengui, who was standing on top of the city wall, could hardly believe his eyes.

“Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord!”

“Open the city gates!” Xia Pingan’s calm voice was heard.

The city gates of high firmament city opened. Xue Rengui was at the city gates and saw Xia Pingan riding on a huge golden flying Scorpion, leading a group of flying scorpions into the city.
