Not only are there no big scorpions, even these smaller scorpions don't seem to want to get close to here...
Gu Heng looked thoughtfully at the solitary mountain behind him.
He knew that monsters all had a sense of territory. If the scorpions didn't dare to co here, it ant one thing: the area around this isolated mountain was another "monster territory."
Moreover, it must be more powerful than those scorpions.
Otherwise, how could they give up their plan to expand their territory?
"Are you sisters?"
Gu Heng shifted his attention back to the two girls he had just rescued. It didn't take much effort for him to discover that the two were most likely sisters. They had very similar beautiful faces and wore similar clothes. However, Gu Heng could tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister through a little observation.
The taller one is definitely the older sister, and like a mother hen, she protects the younger sister at an arm's length.
The sisters' weapons are swords.
"Yes, my na is Shutao, and she is my sister Shuying. May I know your na, senior?"
Sister Shutao spoke first, her voice was clear and gentle, but not delicate.
Gu Heng: "...Gu Heng, don't call senior. I'm not old. Maybe I'm only a few years older than you."
"Oh, then...Fellow Daoist Gu?"
Shu Tao chose the address carefully and observed Gu Heng's expression attentively.
Fellow Taoist?
It's not that he can't. Anyway, he has been a cultivator for a long ti. Gu Heng is actually tired of hearing the words "Young Master" and "Mr.". The only thing that feels quite fresh is that no one calls him "Fellow Daoist".
"If Fellow Daoist Gu is really that young, and yet he can single-handedly deal with these dragon scorpion beasts, and do it so easily... I think he is also a young and promising man, an unrivaled genius."
Shu Tao smiled, her tone containing complints and admiration, but also a bit of tentativeness.
Gu Heng raised his eyebrows.
Are these scorpions difficult to deal with?
From what Miss Shutao said, it seed that these scorpions were called "dragon scorpion beasts", and were very difficult to deal with. But for him, killing a dragon scorpion beast was as easy as chopping lons and vegetables.
He suddenly had another idea in his mind.
seem...
Can I get so words from this seemingly inexperienced girl?
Anyway, I have saved their sisters' lives, so as long as they don't ask too personal questions, I will probably answer all their questions.
"Oh, so these scorpions are called dragon scorpion beasts. I didn't know that before."
Shu Tao was slightly startled: "Huh? Before Fellow Daoist Gu ca here, your sect or family didn't tell you about the situation inside this 'Sacred Dragon Cave'?"
"I have always been alone and have never joined any faction."
Having a monk card of the East Frontier Alliance in his hand does not an that he is a mber of the East Frontier Alliance.
Gu Heng felt that in every sense, he was just a "casual cultivator", a re floating duckweed.
"I see."
"Fellow Daoist Gu is truly an outstanding person. Without any sect resources or background, he can thrive here like a fish in water."
Sohow, after hearing that Gu Heng seed to be a casual cultivator with no power or backing, Shu Tao admired him even more.
"I wonder which sect you two sisters are from?"
"After the Western Region Grand Guardian of the Wanjian Immortal Sect gave the order, all the disciples with the best talents in the sect were selected and ca to the Holy Dragon Cave Mansion to participate in the test, including the two of us."
Shu Tao showed the Wan Jian Xian Zong disciple identity cards worn on her and Shu Ying's waists.
Gu Heng's eyes lit up again.The Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect!
Speaking of which, it has been a long ti since I heard about the situation of Sect Master Jiang Lingyun and Bai Feier. However, the Wanjian Immortal Sect is the number one sword sect in the world after all. In such a chaotic world, it should not be a problem to keep everyone safe.
"There is a cultivator nad Bai Fei'er in your sect, right?"
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Gu has also heard of our Senior Sister's na..."
When Gu Heng ntioned Bai Feier, Shu Tao did not think much about it. She just felt that the title of the sect master's disciple, the chief "senior sister" of the Wanjian Xianzong, was becoming more and more popular.
"This ti, it is Senior Sister who is in charge of leading the team. If she is not here, this dangerous Holy Dragon Cave will probably cause heavy casualties among our disciples."
Shuying, the younger sister who had been silent all this ti, suddenly spoke, and her words were filled with undisguised admiration for Bai Feier.
Gu Heng nodded thoughtfully.
Miss Fei'er seems to be getting better and better. When I think back to when I first t her, she was still a poor girl full of negative energy and in a jade-like state.
It seems that she has also found her own "bright future".
"Well, speaking of this, how to go back now has beco a problem."
Shu Tao looked at the dragon scorpion desert in front of her, her face full of worry. This vast yellow sand was full of dangers and was the most dangerous of the five areas in the Holy Dragon Cave Mansion.
And the two sisters happened to be here, and now they could neither leave nor stay.
"You got separated from the main group?"
Gu Heng asked.
"Yes, Senior Sister originally spent a lot of ti gathering most of the Sword Sect disciples to deal with the monsters and so guys with ill intentions here, but the two of us accidentally touched an unstable space rift and were teleported to the Dragon Scorpion Desert."
"If it weren't for Daoist Gu's rescue, I'm afraid Shuying and I would have been eaten by the dragon scorpion beast."
What Shu Tao said reminded Gu Heng of the first day he entered the Holy Dragon Cave Mansion. His starting point was originally in a forest, but after walking a few steps, the scenery in front of him suddenly turned into a vast desert...
It seems that he also accidentally touched the unstable space rift.
But if you encounter it, there is nothing to worry about.
Gu Heng is a lone ranger himself, and he even has the "teleportation" skill to leave the Holy Dragon Cave Mansion directly. He is not worried at all that he will be sent to so dangerous place.
But the two sisters in front of them definitely don't have "teleport" to use, and they can't even deal with a few little dragon scorpion beasts...
This strength is indeed worrying.
"Miss Shutao, I am a casual cultivator and I don't know what information this Holy Dragon Cave has. I was forcibly pulled here by the East Frontier Alliance. Why don't you tell what's going on in this place?"
Gu Heng began to extract so useful information from Shu Tao.
"Well, according to the records of our predecessors of the Wanjian Immortal Sect, the Holy Dragon Cave is opened once every five thousand years, and each ti lasts for three days. As long as you collect enough 'Holy Dragon Blood' in the cave, you will be forcibly expelled by the cave. So the purpose of this test is to collect Holy Dragon Blood."
"The cave is divided into five areas, inhabited by five different kinds of monster beasts—"
"This 'Dragon Scorpion Desert' is the most dangerous area in the Holy Dragon Cave Mansion. Dragon scorpion beasts are also the most nurous and the most difficult to deal with monster species!"
Shutao touched Shuying's head.
"My sister and I are only at the Out-of-Body Stage. Although those dragon scorpion beasts were all in their infancy, each of them has the strength of the Spiritual Severing Stage."
"If we didn't have so treasures and elixirs, we might not have been able to wait for Fellow Daoist Gu to rescue us."
Shu Tao looked at the two broken protective magic weapons in her hands and felt even more depressed.
But Gu Heng's attention was not here.
What he cared more about were those "young dragon scorpion beasts" and their strength.
Divine distraction period?
A demon beast in the Spirit Severing Stage was chopped to pieces by just a few casual strikes?
Oh no...
