"There are indeed so rustling sounds, like there are many Red Scorpions."
Dongfang Mosheng furrowed his brows. These past few days they had not been attacked by the Red Scorpions, which had made everyone sowhat immune to their presence in the Red Scorpion Desert. It was unexpected that the Red Scorpions would show their true colors co nightfall.
Dugu Xiaojin sprinted off, covering around seven or eight li, and indeed saw groups of Red Scorpions ahead.
So of the scorpions were hiding under the sand, while others were crawling on the ground, indistinguishable from rocks on the sand if not observed carefully, easily overlooked.
They had not launched an attack rashly; they seed organized and orderly, obviously following orders.
The distribution of the Red Scorpions was worse than expected; they had quietly surrounded their camp.
Once it was deep into the night and everyone was asleep, they would launch their assault, the consequences of which were unbearable to imagine.
"Fortunately, we discovered them early."
Dugu Xiaojin was about to head back when he heard a surprised voice from the front.
"Isn’t that the White Wolf from Great Chu Team B?"
Dugu Xiaojin stopped in his tracks and saw soone approaching.
On the periphery of the Red Scorpions stood two people.
One was Nalan Yan’er, and the other was Dongfang Jin.
Dongfang Jin had always been envious of Dugu Xiaojin and Feng Xiaoli’s commanding presence with their respective companions, the impressive White Wolf and Hei Dian, so he recognized the White Wolf straightaway.
Why would these two be with the Red Scorpions?
Dugu Xiaojin paused, and at that mont, Nalan Yan’er caught sight of the White Wolf too.
A gleam of pleasure flashed across her sullen eyes.
"Indeed it is that white beast. Capture it to prevent it from going back and alerting the others."
Nalan Yan’er’s deanor had changed significantly from a few days earlier.
With the help of Hua Wushang, Nalan Yan’er was finally able to control the Red Scorpion Queen.
Exercising control over the Red Scorpion Queen, her first thought was to seek revenge on Feng Bailing, ordering the subordinates of the Red Scorpion Queen to scout ahead.
Soon, she located Feng Bailing and the others.
But during the day, Feng Bailing and his group had just left.
Nalan Yan’er had missed her chance.
In order not to startle the quarry, she did not act at that mont but waited until nightfall, when Feng Bailing and his group returned.
Originally, Nalan Yan’er planned to launch the attack as soon as Feng Bailing and the people from Great Chu Team B were asleep, ensuring their inevitable deaths.
Not just Feng Bailing, but Nalan Yan’er had resolved not to spare the Seventh Prince or the Ninth Prince either.
After all, without these two, Dongfang Yu’s throne would be much more secure.
However, Nalan Yan’er’s ticulous plan had been discovered by the vigilant Dugu Xiaojin.
Seeing Dongfang Jin and his mother, Dugu Xiaojin couldn’t help being moved; he hadn’t expected that Dongfang Jin and his Queen Mother could also control the Red Scorpions.
Dugu Xiaojin instinctively looked at the Red Scorpion Queen behind Nalan Yan’er.
He and the Queen Mother, along with Xiao Hong, had been hunting another Red Scorpion Queen these past few days, so he was quite familiar with them.
The Red Scorpion Queen in front of him was certainly one of those that had previously launched a sneak attack on Xiao Hong’s nest, and inside its body, there was supposed to be sothing controlling it, a chip as the Queen Mother had ntioned.
Dugu Xiaojin fixed his gaze and saw an abnormality on the forehead of the Red Scorpion Queen; there was a faint blue light of the Wenhua Seal, a sign of being controlled by the Blessing Technique.
It was conceivable that the chip inside it had likely been destroyed by soone.
Having had several encounters with Nalan Yan’er, Dugu Xiaojin knew all too well that neither Nalan Yan’er nor Dongfang Jin had the power to do so.
Could it be that there were other, more powerful people behind them?
Realizing this, Dugu Xiaojin dared not linger any longer. He needed to leave this place and alert the Queen Mother and Xiao Hong.
But Nalan Yan’er wasn’t about to let Dugu Xiaojin go!
The Red Scorpion Queen closely pursued Dugu Xiaojin...
Feng Bailing waited on the spot for a mont, but when the White Wolf did not return, he couldn’t help worrying about it.
"Xiaojin, why hasn’t White Wolf co back yet? Could sothing have happened?"
Facing Feng Bailing’s inquiry, Dugu Xiaojin, also known as Bai Shan, didn’t know how to respond, scratching its head anxiously.
"Sothing’s not right, it seems a large number of Red Scorpions are heading in this direction."
Dongfang Yong and Feng Luochen and the others beca alert.
"It’s not just that, there’s also a very powerful force heading this way. It’s probably the Red Scorpion Queen."
Xia Xing said in a grave tone.
"Quick, co here, we’ll die here."
After being awakened, Princess Anyang once again lost control of her emotions, crying and making a fuss.
The noise startled the Red Scorpions, and even more of them surged in their direction.
"Everyone stay calm for a mont."
"Let’s first leave this area."
Feng Bailing said in a deep voice.
As long as they retreated to the area where Xiao Hong was, Xiao Hong would send reinforcents.
There were too many Red Scorpions, and with just a few of them under the cover of night, they couldn’t contend with the Red Scorpion Queen on the other side.
Right after Feng Bailing spoke, more Red Scorpions surrounded them.
"Everyone, break through first."
Xia Xing shouted.
Dongfang Yong and Feng Luochen and others also had their faces full of vigilance.
"Sister, I’ll protect you as we leave first."
After exchanging glances with Dongfang Yong and Hong Xuan, Feng Luochen quickly moved to Feng Bailing’s side.
"You and Dongfang Yong escort Hong Xuan first and retreat to the south."
"To the south? But isn’t the south also the Red Scorpion Nest?"
Dongfang Yong said in surprise.
During the day, they searched that area for food and water.
"It’s a long story, just retreat there for now, I assure you’ll be safe."
"And what about you?"
Hong Xuan caught onto what Feng Bailing implied.
"White Wolf has gone to scout, I need to go with Xiaojin to find him and bring him back."
For so reason, Feng Bailing felt a sense of urgency in her heart, a premonition of ill on that was getting stronger.
White Wolf had been gone for too long; it was fast and should have been able to escape the Red Scorpions’ attacks, unless, it encountered the Red Scorpion Queen.
Having spent this period of ti together, White Wolf had beco Feng Bailing’s companion, and she would never abandon White Wolf at a ti like this.
While they spoke, swarms of Red Scorpions surrounded the group like a tidal wave.
"Everyone take the Chili Water, don’t confront them directly, just head south first."
After Feng Bailing handed several bottles of Chili Water to Feng Luochen and the others, she and Dugu Xiaojin charged back.
With the aid of Chili Water, the Red Scorpions couldn’t stop Feng Bailing.
Feng Bailing fought her way out of the encirclent, and over at the other side, Xia Xing was skilled and agile; she, along with Dongfang Li and Dongfang Mosheng, quickly broke out as well.
After clearing the Red Scorpions before them, Xia Xing turned back to look for Feng Bailing and her son.
But she didn’t expect that the mother and son were going in the opposite direction.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Li exclaid in alarm.
"Bailing, it’s dangerous that way."
