"A humanoid scorpion monster? And he's the city lord?"
Qiao Shan asked.
"Yes!" Wei Yang answered.
"Also an Adventist?"
"Yes, they came from another world!"
Wei Yang knew everything about Qiao Shan's problems.
"Forehead….."
After hearing Wei Yang's answer, Qiao Shan was a little confused.
What confused him was not the scorpion monster that descended from another world.
What confused him was that he thought of Teacher Zhuo.
Yes, the first person who deserves the title of “old bitch” is Teacher Zhuo.
Not long ago, he gave the title of old bitch to the water bear.
At this moment, after listening to Wei Yang's reply, he suddenly thought of his first old and sinister teacher Zhuo.
Qiao Shan remembered that Teacher Zhuo had given him a purple land enhancement scroll as if he were entrusting him with his own affairs.
I also told him a lot of things.
Finally, Teacher Zhuo told him that his birthplace was in the desert.
Outside the air shield, it's all desert.
Moreover, at the end of the conversation with Qiao Shan, Mr. Zhuo mentioned that several humanoid creatures that looked like scorpions broke his air shield...
After that, Qiao Shan and Teacher Zhuo never talked again.
At this moment, after listening to Wei Yang's description.
No matter how Qiao Shan judged, he felt that the person Teacher Zhuo met seemed to be the Scorpion person that Wei Yang mentioned.
This was his intuitive judgment.
The level after the fifth level makes him trust his intuition sometimes.
"Dark World, are there any other desert maps?"
Thinking of this, Qiao Shan asked again quickly.
"I haven't heard of it. I've only heard of the Shurima Desert. There shouldn't be any. After all, I was born in a desert, and I have collected information about the desert. Even if there is, it should be a special small map of ruins..."
Although Wei Yang did not completely deny it.
But the implicit meaning of his words was to tell Qiao Shan that currently in the dark world, there should only be one large desert map, the Shurima Desert.
"What a coincidence..."
After hearing Wei Yang's answer, Qiao Shan intuitively felt that he and Teacher Zhuo seemed to be very close to their birthplace.
Although Wei Yang has been traveling through the dark world, his time is not the longest. Unlike those old monsters, it is not for thousands of years.
But as a member of the special organization Zodiac Palace, he still has a wealth of intelligence.
Since she said that she only knew one desert map, Shurima, it is very likely that this is true.
Qiao Shan was sighing, thinking that Teacher Zhuo’s birthplace was also in the Shurima Desert.
Then the connection between him and Teacher Zhuo seemed to be quite strong.
Although the Shurima Desert is very large, Teacher Zhuo may not be in the west of the Shurima Desert, the location closest to him.
But as long as it is in the Shurima Desert.
So, at the moment, this is Teacher Zhuo’s birthplace.
It was the first member of the 1008th Adventist he heard, the one closest to him.
Although he had allies to help him, Qiao Shan had been to many of their different birthplaces.
Moreover, he often went to the main city of the Treasure Hunting Alliance, that special basin.
But those places are moved with the help of special alliance skills.
He didn't know the actual distance and direction.
At this moment, if the speculation is true, Teacher Zhuo is the member of the Class of 1008 who is truly closest to him.
Previously, the vampires at the birthplace should have been closer to his birthplace.
But those are all members from the past.
Not from the class of 1008.
If Teacher Zhuo was really born in the desert, then Teacher Zhuo was the first classmate he met.
The only pity is that Teacher Zhuo seems to be dead...
Mr. Zhuo was originally a prominent figure in the class of 1008.
He died before he could accomplish his mission.
Before he could realize his grand plans and just showed off a few of his skills, disaster struck.
The air shield was directly broken by the scorpion man...
.
"Scorpion people live in the sand?"
Qiao Shan, who sighed a few times because of Wei Yang's answer, quickly adjusted his mentality and continued to ask Wei Yang.
No matter what, Teacher Zhuo is already a thing of the past.
What he needs to think about now is how to face the Scorpion Man.
Although Qin Dalong just said that the traces created by the Scorpion Man were still dozens of kilometers away from his previous landing point.
Moreover, Aries has lived in the desert for a long time and should be particularly familiar with Scorpio people.
But Qiao Shan still has to take it seriously.
Although there was the barrier of the Niah River, with the help of Hair in the river to fight, he was not afraid of the Scorpion people.
But in the future, he will definitely land in Shurima.
Whether it is for the occupation of his own territory or because of Shurima, the birthplace of Wei Yang, he must land in Shurima.
He still wanted to know more about the so-called Scorpion Man.
"No, most of them live in oases. I guess they left traces of entering the Niah River, probably to get water from the Niah River or to fish..."
Wei Yang answered quickly.
"Get water?"
In Qiao Shan's mind, a picture suddenly appeared: many Scorpios lined up to carry pokes and fetch water...
"No, they probably have props. There are many first-generation adventers among the Scorpion People..."
As if sensing what Qiao Shan was thinking, Wei Yang quickly explained to him.
"Props, [Package]?"
Qiao Shan had just heard from Wei Yang that among the Scorpio people there was someone who was a city lord.
“Almost the same type…”
Wei Yang nodded.
"What's the strongest level of scorpion man you've ever encountered?"
After confirming that the Scorpion People were not ordinary indigenous people, but included many First Generation Adventers, and that the Shurima Desert had been their place of business for many years, Qiao Shan thought of another question.
"I haven't encountered one at the eighth level, but I have encountered one at the transformation stage a few times!"
The sheep has not returned.
"Fought?"
"No, I know I can't win, so I'll just go back to the city. With the defense tower, they won't dare to attack me casually. As for those above Rank 8, I have other high-sequence people from the Zodiac Palace to help me deal with them!"
Wei Yang answered quickly.
"Okay, then you command Qin Dalong and his group to explore the situation of the Scorpion People first. Be careful, they probably don't know of our existence yet."
"good!"
"By the way, do you want to use your birth point back?"
At the end of the conversation, Qiao Shan asked another question.
With the help of Wei Yang, a veteran, to explore the Shurima Desert, everything will go particularly smoothly.
Besides, he also enjoyed it a little bit...
However, the place where the Sheep should really stay is their birthplace.
I heard from Sheep that he had met several Scorpio people in the transformation period.
Qiao Shan was worried that because of his own affairs, Wei Yang’s home would be lost.
"It's okay. I have heroes watching over my birthplace. Unless there are troops dozens of times stronger than me attacking, it's impossible to destroy my birthplace..."
Wei Yang smiled lightly and explained to Qiao Shan.
She is very happy.
Because she felt Qiao Shan's care.
"Okay, tell me anytime if you have any questions!"
After hearing Wei Yang's answer that he was fine, Qiao Shan didn't say anything more.
Wei Yang is here, he feels quite comfortable...
"yes!"
Wei Yang answered quickly.
After finishing the conversation with Wei Yang, Qiao Shan thought for a moment and walked over to Alice:
"Tell Ahri to deploy some squids on the east bank of the Nia River. Tell the squids and war pigs to pay more attention when they see the scorpion-like people!"
Qiao Shan gave Ali another instruction through Alice.
At this moment, Ahri was at the water barracks, giving orders to several elite war pigs and squids to monitor the Great Rift.
After hearing Alice's message, she quickly gave Squid and War Pig another task.
"Also, have Ahri arrange for the dragon-catching spearmen in charge of liaison at the navy barracks to inform Qiao Dali later that his fishing team should stay a little further away from the east coast so that the scorpion men on the east coast don't see them!"
Seeing Alice nod, Qiao Shan continued to make arrangements.
"I know~~~"
After hearing Alice pass on Qiao Shan's instructions again, Ahri responded quickly...
.
“Huh~”
After arranging everything he could think of, Qiao Shan let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground next to the stone house.
Tired!
Start by preparing the boat and fishing.
He hardly ever stopped.
As a result, things happened one after another.
Moreover, it was all beyond expectations and very messy.
At the same time, he encountered things that forced him to follow up.
At this moment, the tardigrades have discovered it.
Unfortunately, he had no way to deal with tardigrades.
You can't beat him, and you can't afford to provoke him.
He never expected that at the end of fishing, he would end up dealing with such a hot potato.
In everything, it seems that there are good things mixed with bad things.
at the same time,
I heard about the scorpion people in the desert again.
After hearing Wei Yang say that many Scorpios are in the transformation stage, Qiao Shan felt even worse.
Although he still doesn't know whether there is a so-called Scorpion City Lord on the west coast of the Shurima Desert where he is.
But even if there is no one, as long as there is someone who is the city lord nearby.
You will inevitably encounter it.
The experience gained from automatically absorbing elemental power in the past few days made him realize that as long as he went a little deeper into the Shurima Desert.
There is someone who is the city lord in the desert, so he will definitely sense his presence.
Even if there is no means of detection, the changes in the automatic experience value will make others feel it.
Qiao Shan is not afraid of how many ordinary scorpion people there are in the Shurima Desert.
Nor is he afraid of these scorpion people, no matter how long they have lived in the Shurima Desert.
What he was afraid of was the person among the Scorpion people who was the city lord.
If you are a city lord, you will have an alliance.
Where there is an alliance, there are allies to teleport.
If an ally is teleported, then no one knows what level of person will appear in the end.
It would be fine if the league was a minor league.
If it is a major league, it is not impossible for an eighth-level master to emerge.
For example, Brother Seventeen of the Arhat Hall, who is also at the fifth level.
If we treat him as an ordinary fifth-level personnel, this is obviously wrong.
Brother Seventeen can rely on the help of his allies to quickly summon several eighth-level masters to his birth point.
Instant turnaround...
No one knows what kind of background a person with the status of city lord has.
A person who is a city lord.
But there are panels, trading columns, packages, and all kinds of things.
In addition to the crushing combat power that is more than ten times greater.
Otherwise, all kinds of things cannot be killed.
Of course, this kind of creature is unlike the tardigrade we just encountered.
The water bear obviously does not have the status of a city lord, and the reason why it cannot be killed is due to its own defensive strength.
But people who are city lords cannot be killed.
It’s simply because there are too many logics and functions behind it.
You don't know when and what he will take out.
Especially at this moment,
Qiao Shan didn't know which generation the Scorpion City Lord, who lived close to him on the west coast of the Shurima Desert, had descended.
If it were the later years, Qiao Shan wouldn't be too worried.
Not only his own combat power, but also his accessories and the energy behind him are enough for him to deal with the adventers eight or nine hundred years later.
But if there is someone among the scorpion city lords nearby who has been here for thousands of years.
Qiao Shan realized that he was in trouble.
Once an old scorpion city lord above level eight appears.
This is difficult to deal with.
No one knows what special background and things these old guys have.
“Every place is not easy!”
After thinking about the Scorpion Man for a long time without coming to any conclusion, Qiao Shan couldn't help but sigh.
In the Nia River, there are water bears that have nowhere to land.
I don’t know what to do now.
After crossing the east bank of the Duniya River, the Shurima Desert becomes even more mysterious.
Qiao Shan felt a headache just thinking about it.
At this moment, it seems that his birthplace is the safest.
Instead, it was the first time he encountered it.
The south was originally very dangerous. Although there were various vampires in the south, and he encountered vampires not long after he arrived in the south when he was still under the fifth level.
It made him very worried at the time.
However, at the moment, the south is the easiest to solve.
At least you can fight.
At least there is someone to give advice.
At least know how to do it.
now,
To the east of the birth point, there are tardigrades in the Niah River, which no one has ever seen.
I don't know what to do at all.
What exactly is in the Shurima Desert in the east? I am completely clueless and there is no one to ask...
"I wonder what the Elven Forest in the west and the vast Dark Lair in the north will look like..."
After worrying about the things to the east of the birth point for a while, Qiao Shan's thoughts ran to the other direction of the birth point.
The west, he already knew, was the territory of the elves.
Going west, you will reach the heartland of the Shenshushan organization.
With Alice's appendage Lan coming to obtain information, he has no worries about the west at the moment.
To the north of the birth point is the Dark Lair which has already erupted once.
He had fought briefly before.
But the Dark Lair is still there, and in the lands further north, there are more and different Dark Lairs.
Qiao Shan knew that this was also a troublesome point.
It's just that he hasn't explored further to the north yet, so those dark nests are still dormant...
There was no massive explosion of monsters.
It's safe for now.
However, I did see the tardigrades at the bottom of the Niah River.
I also thought a lot about the Shurima Desert further east.
Qiao Shan was referring to the dark forest area to the north of his birthplace.
It should not be underestimated.
There is no simple thing in this dark world.
I thought it would be easy to cross the Niah River.
In the end, they ended up with a tardigrade that they had no idea what to do with.
This made Qiao Shan understand immediately.
The dark world is not simple at all.
.
"The worst result is that Weiyang and his group are discovered by others' spying methods as soon as they enter the desert..."
With a frown on his face, Qiao Shan’s thoughts returned to the east of his birthplace.
Other directions are also not without concerns, but the most important one at the moment is the Shurima Desert in the east.
Because, at this moment, Wei Yang is spying in the eastern desert with a large group of dragon-catching spearmen.
After considering the priorities, Qiao Shan first thought about the things in the east.
"If Wei Yang and his men were discovered by the city lord in the Shurima Desert, the Scorpion people should also send out spies..."
While thinking about what the Scorpion City Lord in the desert would do if the worst outcome happened, Qiao Shan was also thinking about how he should respond.
"The Niah River can be considered a natural barrier, at least it can provide some protection."
After thinking about what the Scorpio would do if he found out about me.
Qiao Shan was also judging what he could do based on the fastest results.
Obviously, if he really faced a scorpion man who was as strong as him or stronger than him.
His first line of defense should be the Niah River.
After all, it is more than fifty miles wide, even if the Scorpion people have an air force and the means to cross the river.
But the Niah River at least needed to be crossed.
Moreover, he had a number of coastal defense towers on the west bank of the Niah River.
On the river, there are also a large number of tower ships that can assist in the attack.
Even if the first line of defense is really unstoppable.
The enemy broke through to their own platform spawn point.
But in the river, it should be possible to consume a large wave of enemies.
"Wait for the news!"
After a lot of thinking, Qiao Shan realized that the most important thing for him next was to wait for news.
News from the desert, news from the Great Rift.
All this information needs to be explored.
Everyone has to wait!
Even if the worst happens, first-hand information is the most important.
Qiao Shan understood that the worst news for him was that the tardigrades had landed on the west bank. At the same time, in the Shurima Desert opposite, a high-level scorpion city lord who was very close to him also sent troops to land on the west bank.
“Huh~”
After thinking about it all, Qiao Shan let out a sigh and looked towards the void wormhole above his head.
.
[The 45th wave of void creatures, monster spawn countdown 186:11:09]
[Species refreshed in the 45th wave: 1 Thousand-Faced Succubus]
[Thousand-Faced Succubus Nightingale (Special Boss)

】
.
As Qiao Shan looked at it, the next wave of refresh data of the void wormhole appeared in his eyes.
There is no difference at all.
The next wave of monsters is called Nightingale, and it is still a special boss nicknamed Thousand-Faced Succubus.
There are still more than one hundred and eighty hours until the refresh time.
“I don’t know which one is special, this nightingale or the water bear…”
Looking at the information about the 45th wave of monster spawns, Qiao Shan couldn't help but compare the tardigrades he had encountered so far with the nightingales.
No reason.
It happened suddenly...
Looking at the information about the void wormhole, Qiao Shan was distracted for a while.
Then, he clenched his fist and shouted:
“Just do it!!!”
His experience in the dark world has made him no longer afraid of any difficulties.
If you have a problem, fix it!
.
Half an hour later,
Qiao Shan connected with Wei Yang in his mind:
"how's it going?"
"No results yet. I didn't dare to go too deep for fear of being exposed. Currently we are just checking quickly along the upstream and downstream of the Niah River!"
Wei Yang quickly reported to Qiao Shan.
Qiao Shan was worried that Wei Yang and his gang might be discovered by other people's spying.
As a high-level seventh-level expert, Wei Yang certainly knows this situation.
She did not rush into the desert, but moved quickly along the river.
She knew that what Qiao Shan wanted to ask was whether they had discovered the gathering point of the scorpion people in the desert.
There may even be a Scorpion City Lord.
But Wei Yang hasn't found out this information yet because she hasn't gone deep enough.
"Okay, anything?"
After hearing Wei Yang's prudent approach, Qiao Shan didn't say much.
It is right to be cautious.
"have!"
Wei Yang answered quickly.
"Um?"
It was just a casual question, but Qiao Shan didn't expect that Wei Yang would actually discover it again.
"There are many traces of these scorpion people's actions on the banks of the Nia River!"
Wei Yang quickly told Qiao Shan what he had discovered.
"Traces? A lot?"
"Yes, in addition to the traces of Scorpion Man we just discovered, we found more traces of Scorpion Man every ten kilometers..."
"Every ten kilometers? Where are you now?"
"We are now about a hundred kilometers away from the original landing point!"
The Weiyang team, which was composed entirely of air force personnel, moved very quickly. In less than an hour, they had explored more than 100 kilometers along the banks of the Nia River.
"A lot of traces?" Qiao Shan pondered for a moment and continued to ask: "Have you found the Scorpion Man?"
"No."
Wei Yang shook his head.
"Have you ever encountered this kind of situation with so many traces in the eastern part of the Shurima Desert?"
"No…"
Side by side, there is a series of traces of Scorpion people walking at 90 degrees on the east bank of the Nia River. Wei Yang has never encountered such traces before.
At first, the Sheep thought that the Scorpion people were getting water from the Niah River.
The previous check made Wei Yang deny his previous guess.
It is impossible to fetch water with so many traces of walking.
It is obvious that the spacing between the traces on the shore is very similar, indicating some intentional behavior.
"Any guesses?"
After thinking for a while, Qiao Shan asked Wei Yang again.
Obviously, among the people he could contact at this moment, Wei Yang was the most qualified to answer questions related to Shurima.
The birth point is at Weiyang at the east end of the Shurima Desert, if you don’t know.
Among the people Qiao Shan can currently contact.
No one is qualified.
"This is the first time I've encountered this, but I think they are measuring something, and these traces look very new, so I think they must have taken action recently!"
Wei Yang quickly reported his guess to Qiao Shan.
Wei Yang, who has experience in desert survival, can tell, even though the distance is more than ten kilometers.
But the traces of these scorpion people's appearance are very new.
And the time difference between their appearances is not that big.
Very worthy of attention.
"They are all new? Are they measuring?" Qiao Shan frowned. "Is it possible that they will continue to go into the river? And if they move forward, they will soon encounter the point where we first landed?"
"It's possible. I have asked Qin Dalong to lead people to guard another place where they may advance..."
The Sheep has already thought about this and has been prepared.
"Okay? Do you want to follow the trail and explore?"
Qiao Shan asked again.
Obviously, he wanted to know what was going on ahead and why there were regular footsteps of scorpion people on the shore.
As long as we follow the traces, it is very likely that we will find out the reason.
"Yes," Wei Yang nodded, "but it hasn't started yet. I'm worried that there may be the city lord's spying props at the end of the trail, so I plan to go there alone later!"
Of course, Sheep also knows that by following the Scorpion’s trail, they will discover more information.
However, due to flight restrictions deep in the desert, if the traces go deep into the desert for a long time, the desert's no-fly restrictions will come into effect.
If an ordinary dragon-catching spearman is unable to fly, his combat effectiveness will be reduced by 80%.
Wei Yang's plan is to wait until he gets more clues.
She would be alone and follow the traces to have a look.
Hearing Qiao Shan asking, she expressed her thoughts.
"Okay, but don't go too deep, safety first. Also, if Qin Dalong encounters scorpion people, try to capture a few of them!"
After hearing Wei Yang's answer, Qiao Shan made quick arrangements.
Indeed, by following the trail, we should be able to obtain more intelligence.
But this will also make the danger greater.
Weiyang had told him before that in the desert, the Scorpion People were a race that could dive into the sand and move quickly.
Without the ability to fly, in the desert, even a high-level seventh-level sheep may not be able to outrun the Scorpion Man, especially those high-level Scorpion Man who are professionals or city lords.
"OK!"
After hearing Qiao Shan's arrangement, Wei Yang responded quickly.
Afterwards, she waved to some of the dragon spearmen following behind her.
After quickly arranging things, Wei Yang found the latest trace of the Scorpion Man's footsteps, and slowly followed the traces, flying deep into the desert.
She knew that it was possible that someone had discovered her presence after she entered the desert.
But the sheep still flew forward alertly...
.
"Ahri, come here!"
After finishing the communication with Wei Yang, Qiao Shan called Ali over.
At this moment, Ahri has already arranged for the war dolphins and squids underwater.
Underwater creatures have begun to form a circle along the perimeter of the large crack, vigilantly guarding against the emergence of tardigrades.
"Here I come~"
Ahri, who had already returned to the platform, flew over instantly following Qiao Shan's instructions.
"Go to the other side of the river to help Qin Dalong. If you encounter scorpion people, arrest a few of them. If you can't catch them, use soul commands to search their souls!"
Without saying much, Qiao Shan directly gave instructions to Ali.
Now that they are facing the Scorpion People, and judging by their movement patterns, they will soon reach the previous landing point.
And discover a suggested stronghold he built by hand.
It is necessary to strike first, capture a few scorpion men, and let Ahri collect intelligence.
The exploration of Sheep is one aspect.
The Scorpion Man on the other side could not stop searching the soul.
"yes!"
Hearing Qiao Shan's command, Ahri flapped her wings quickly, flew away from the platform, and flew towards where Qin Dalong was.
"Ahri, if you have any new news, tell me anytime!"
Seeing Ahri flying away, Qiao Shan turned around and said to Alice who was standing beside him.
"Okay~"
Alice nodded obediently..
.
Meanwhile,
The Sheep flapped its wings alertly and began to go deeper into the desert, following the Scorpion Man's footprints.
Soon, she went more than ten kilometers deep.
As she continued to fly forward, she could no longer see the shadow of the Nia River.
All I could see was gravel all over the sky.
Wei Yang is also very familiar with the environment in the desert, and can also sense Qiao Shan's presence with the help of the connection in his mind.
Otherwise, she might be lost at this moment.
As the Sheep goes deeper, the traces left by the Scorpio's movements are gradually weakening.
Although it can be seen that these traces were left by many Scorpios acting together.
The number is not small.
But as we go deeper into the desert, over time, and because the desert is not like a riverbank, the traces can be well fixed.
The traces that Wei Yang could see were getting weaker and weaker.
"Um?"
Not long after, Wei Yang felt an invisible force pressing down on him.
She felt that her flying ability was being restricted.
An invisible force was restraining her, causing her to land on the sand.
If forced to fly, Wei Yang feels that he can do it.
But in this way, the consumption of her elemental power will obviously be accelerated.
After thinking for a while, Wei Yang slowly lowered his flying altitude.
At the same time, he looked vigilantly at the desert environment around him.
Wow~
Soon, the sheep were close to the desert.
Only, she didn't quite land in the desert.
At this moment, her feet were about ten centimeters away from the desert.
This is a habit that the sheep have developed after living in the desert for a long time.
You can't just step into a strange desert.
Whether it is quicksand, or possible lurking sand beasts, sand poison, etc.
These can be avoided to some extent as long as you don't step on the sand.
Floating tightly ten centimeters away from the sand, Wei Yang sensed his surroundings.
No special circumstances were found.
She slowly flapped her wings behind her and began to move again.
.
"Um?"
More than ten minutes later, after walking a few kilometers, Wei Yang frowned.
She found that the traces had disappeared.
For some reason, the faint trace in front of her disappeared without a trace.
"Drilling into the ground?"
Seeing that there were many half-meter-wide sand pits where the traces disappeared, Wei Yang muttered something to himself.
Scorpion people can move directly into the sand, which she is very familiar with.
She was also very familiar with the sand pits left behind when the scorpion man dived into the sand.
"Is there a gathering point ahead? An oasis? Are there their remains under the sand below?"
The Scorpion man dug directly into the ground here, and the Sheep looked at the sand pit and thought quickly.
Normally, Scorpion People walk on the desert.
Except when they encounter natural disasters, they will burrow into the sand to hide.
Under normal circumstances, Scorpio people don't eat sand.
Although the Scorpion Man moves at the same speed in the sand as on the sand.
However, moving in the sand will greatly consume the Scorpio's energy.
So there is no reason why Scorpio people will not burrow into the sand.
The traces in front disappeared, and Wei Yang was wondering whether the reason why the Scorpio people burrowed into the ground was because they had arrived home.
"Um!?"
After concentrating on thinking for a while, Wei Yang suddenly made a new discovery.
She found that there seemed to be a piece of sand that had condensed into a lump on the edge of one of the sand pits.
Swish!
While Wei Yang's eyes were focused, he took out a piece of wooden stick from the package.
Poke at the clumping sand.
"Water? Star power?"
After pulling it twice and looking at the gravel that had been poked out, Wei Yang's brows instantly frowned.
The sand blocks are clumped together because they have come into contact with water.
What made Wei Yang frown was that she was next to the sand.
I actually felt the power of starlight. !
The water that caused the sand to condense seemed very similar to the water she had encountered in the big crack before.
There is a faint star power in it.
"My Lord..."
Without any trace of the Scorpion Man's movement, Wei Yang could no longer track him. Then, he sensed the power of starlight in the water stains in the sand pit. Without saying a word, Wei Yang contacted Qiao Shan directly in his mind.
"What do you mean?"
Qiao Shan, who was at the birth point, waiting for news from Wei Yang and Ahri, immediately responded to Wei Yang.
"After I went several dozen kilometers into the desert, the traces of the scorpion man's movement disappeared..."
Without any nonsense, Wei Yang quickly reported what he sensed to Qiao Shan.
Including the star power she sensed.
"Um?"
After listening to Wei Yang's report, Qiao Shan also frowned.
Surprisingly, dozens of kilometers deep in the desert, I was able to sense the power of starlight in the big crack.
Qiao Shan was also extremely surprised.
Most of the power of starlight is in the big crack.
The entire bottom of the Niah River is completely empty, except for a little bit brought out by hair and other things.
At this moment, the power of starlight was actually discovered deep in the desert.
Moreover, the power of starlight appears.
It was discovered by Weiyang, who tracked the traces extending from the Niah River to the desert.
This is even more strange.
"The Scorpion Man has also entered the Great Rift?"
Qiao Shan frowned and thought.
"No, there's no way a scorpion man can go that deep!"
However, Qiao Shan quickly denied his guess.
impossible!
Compared to the huge Niah River, the Great Fissure is very small in size and has a very special location, right at the bottom of the Niah River.
It is impossible for Scorpio people to reach it easily.
Even if the Scorpion Man really went deep underwater.
The war dolphins and squids that I arranged at the bottom of the river will definitely find something.
However, the squid and the war dolphin didn't find anything.
Qiao Shan finally judged that the probability that the starlight power sensed by Wei Yang came from the big crack was very small.
"Are the tardigrades and scorpion people in the same group?"
After thinking about the high probability that the Scorpion Man had not entered the big rift, Qiao Shan continued to think.
If scorpion people and tardigrades are in the same group.
It is also possible that the tardigrades or even the bighead carp secretly gave the scorpion man water with the power of starlight.
But if so,
But it’s not so beautiful for Qiao Shan.
Water bears just can't handle it.
If there were another large group of desert scorpion companions with different levels and identities, they would be gone.
That would be difficult...
.
After frowning for a long time, he arranged for Wei Yang to come back first and meet up with Ali and Qin Dalong.
Qiao Shan turned his gaze towards Alice:
"Where's the hair?"
Since it involves a big crack, hair is a good information consultant.
After all, this person has lived in the Great Rift for hundreds of years.
"It is lurking in the water on the east bank of the Niah River, on the one hand to avoid water bears, and on the other hand to prevent people from the desert from entering the river!"
Alice quickly reported the condition of her hair to Qiao Shan.
"Does Hair know about Scorpion Man?"
Nodding, Qiao Shan continued to ask.
"I don't know! I've never seen it..."
Alice concentrated and communicated for a while, then quickly reported to Qiao Shan.
"Oh my gosh~"
Hearing Alice's voice, Qiao Shan was speechless.
It doesn't match at all!
I originally thought that the scorpion people in the desert were different from tardigrades.
But suddenly, Wei Yang followed the traces of the Scorpion Man and sensed the starlight power that originated from the same great rift.
All this made Qiao Shan speechless.
He thought that the Scorpion People were connected to the creatures of the Great Rift.
At this moment, Hair said that he had never seen or heard of the Scorpion Man.
The speculation that the two are related seems to have been broken again!
There's no way!
But we still need to pay attention to the observation of Wei Yang.
It is impossible that there is no fate and speechlessness. The power of starlight appears in the desert...
.
"Move your hair closer to the big crack!"
After some thought, Qiao Shan changed the position of his hair.
In case the Scorpion Man is connected to the tardigrades, it is obvious that the tardigrades in the Great Rift are the most direct danger to him.
Although there may be experts among Scorpio people, even experts need to cross the river.
And the tardigrades are right there in the river.
As the hair of an aquatic creature, it is more appropriate to place it underwater.
"Hmm~"
Alice nodded slightly and passed the new instructions to her hair.
Although the hair instinctively didn't want to go to the big crack, it still moved under Alice's command.
"Your hair isn't willing?"
I saw Alice nodded after a minute or two, indicating that her hair had started moving.
Qiao Shan asked aloud.
"Well, it's still a little resistant to seeing it's a tardigrade!"
Alice answered affirmatively.
"At the beginning, they were fine. They could enter the big crack freely, but they didn't want to get close to the crater. Why is it that after the tardigrades came out once, they didn't even want to get close to the big crack?"
After hearing Alice's feedback, Qiao Shan asked in confusion.
"It seems that it is unwilling to do so. It seems that the tardigrade just crawled out of the big crack, and there is some smell left around the big crack, which makes the hair not want to go through. There was no such smell when I entered the big crack before..."
Alice replied.
"Aura? Star power?"
After hearing Alice's feedback, Qiao Shan immediately grasped the key point of Alice's words.
"no…."
Unfortunately, Alice shook her head.
Qiao Shan thought he had found the contact point, but he did not receive a positive answer.
"Okay, can the hair still sense its enlarged fan-shaped slab?"
Not getting what he wanted, Qiao Shan asked another question.
The power of starlight appeared in the desert.
And he knew that the starlight power of the hair was absorbed from the fan-shaped stone slabs under the big crack.
Previously, he had let his hair swallow the fan-shaped stone slab belonging to the octopus.
At this moment, the hair was a little reluctant to enter the big crack because of the tardigrades.
Qiao Shan wanted to ask whether this fan-shaped stone slab that could spit out starlight power could be sensed by hair.
"Yes, it's still in its original position, and it can also sense the two pieces where the fathead fish and the tardigrade are."
Alice answered quickly.
"The hair part wasn't closed?"
"No, it's still in the same place!"
Alice quickly conveyed the hair's answer.
"good!"
When we heard about the situation at the big crack, we found that there was no change at all because of the fathead fish carrying tardigrades out earlier.
The fan-shaped stone slabs belonging to the hair were not absorbed by the tardigrades or the bighead carp.
Qiao Shan nodded and said nothing more.
There are a lot of things going on right now, and he doesn't want to disrupt anything inside the big rift.
Just don't cause more trouble.
While in the desert, Aries sensed the power of starlight. It was obvious that the Scorpio people in the desert were the ones he needed to understand the most.
Not only did the tardigrades not move, but the army of scorpion men in the Shurima Desert suddenly rushed over.
Although blocked by the Niah River, the Shurima Desert is very large.
If all the troops were to go out, the small Nia River would obviously be unstoppable...
.
“Someone is coming!”
“Someone is coming!”
As he paced on the platform with a frown on his face, Qiao Shan suddenly heard two voices.
One rang in his ears, and the other rang in his mind.
What he heard was what Alice said to him.
In his mind, it was Wei Yang who told him.
"I saw the Scorpion team!"
"I saw the Scorpion team!"
Afterwards, the two voices answered without any distinction between the first and the last.
"Okay, Alice, stop talking!"
Knowing that Alice was conveying Ahri's message to him, Qiao Shan raised his hand and signaled Alice to stop talking.
Sheep can communicate with him directly in his mind, which is more convenient and efficient.
"Hmm~"
Alice nodded obediently as always.
"How many people?"
Qiao Shan focused his main attention on communicating with Wei Yang in his mind.
"A team of ten."
At this moment, Wei Yang was flying high in the sky with Alice, Qin Dalong and his gang, watching the Scorpion Man gliding quickly on the sand below.
A few kilometers north of the location where Qiaoshan had previously landed on the east bank of the Niah River.
A small group of scorpion men are moving quickly on the sand.
Their speed is very fast.
They walked on the sand, as if they were fish swimming in the water, extremely agile.
And their target was particularly clear - the Niah River.
The ten Scorpion men are striving towards the Niah River.
None of them looked up into the sky.
On the one hand, Weiyang, Ali and others were flying very high.
On the other hand, the scorpion people had never encountered any other people in the west of the Shurima Desert before.
They had no idea that there would be outsiders west of the Shurima Desert.
Thousands of years,
Due to the obstruction of the Niah River, the western part of the Shurima Desert has always been the territory of the Scorpion People.
There were never outsiders.
Therefore, a team of Scorpion people never even look up.
Instead, he rushed forward, quickly heading towards the bank of the Nia River.
Wei Yang told Qiao Shan all about the Scorpio's condition.
"Can you tell that there are outsiders behind them?"
"Or can we tell whether they are indigenous people or professionals?"
Through the connections in his mind, Qiao Shan asked two questions.
“It should be just the indigenous people…”
Hearing Qiao Shan's question, Wei Yang stared closely at the Scorpion man's clothes below. Then, based on her past experience, she reported her judgment to Qiao Shan.
The scorpion man below has an overall human-like body shape.
It has limbs, a torso, a head, facial features, and so on.
The only difference is that their heads are shaped like scorpions, and their hands have either big pincers or small pincers.
There is also a scorpion tail hanging upside down on the back...
Judging from the simple clothes these people wore, Wei Yang judged that these Scorpion people were just ordinary indigenous people.
A Scorpion man who is a city lord or a professional would not dress like this.
Most people with professional status will wear system-certified equipment.
Even if it is only green or even white quality, it is stronger than ordinary clothes.
"Get ready to tie them up and catch them all in one fell swoop!"
After hearing Wei Yang's answer, Qiao Shan didn't say much and directly ordered Wei Yang to start kidnapping people.
Since they are just indigenous people, there is no possibility of news leaking out after they are tied up.
Moreover, the success rate is very high.
"yes!"
Hearing Qiao Shan's voice, Wei Yang responded and quickly waved to the others around him.
Soon, she received a nod from Qin Dalong's team that they were ready.
Swish!
Without any waiting, after Qin Dalong's team was ready, Wei Yang immediately raised his hand, and a pink mist covered the fast-moving Scorpion Squad below.
The Scorpion Squad was moving quickly on the sand, and Wei Yang predicted their movements.
In an instant, the pink mist collided with the Scorpion Squad.
"Hey!"
The Scorpion Captain saw the pink mist suddenly floating down from the sky and was about to shout loudly, but he looked up.
Suddenly, he inhaled a breath of pink mist.
Bang!
The Scorpion Captain fell directly to the ground.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Immediately afterwards, all the Scorpion Men fell to the ground!
It was dry and crisp without any twists and turns.
The seventh-level master did not deal with these natives.
If something goes wrong again, it will be a big problem.
Wei Yang made a move, and all the Scorpion people were knocked down instantly.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
As the scorpion man fell to the ground, the team of dragon-catching spearmen who were prepared also quickly took action.
moment,
Dozens of spears with chains fell from the sky.
The ten scorpion men, along with the sand around them, were instantly wrapped up by countless iron chains.
"Walk!"
Seeing that the dragon-catching spearmen had tied up the scorpion man, Wei Yang vigilantly checked the surroundings to see if there was anything else going on. Then, he waved his hand and led the team to fly quickly towards the platform where Qiao Shan was born.
She knew that the next thing to do was to spy on the consciousness of these scorpion people.
At the same time, let's see whether Qiao Shan will arrange for her to confuse these scorpion people and continue the previous mission after Ahri searches their souls.
When facing an ordinary Scorpion Man, the majestic charm of a seventh-level master can directly make the Scorpion Man forget that he was attacked and also forget the memory of his soul being searched.
She can disguise the Scorpion Man's memory and allow him to continue the task afterwards.
Of course, Wei Yang knew that all these arrangements had to be made by Qiao Shan.
She could only suggest.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Soon, under the leadership of Wei Yang, ten scorpion people were captured without any setbacks.
Qiao Shan's flying army, carrying ten scorpion men tied up like dumplings, flew quickly towards the birthplace platform.
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
"My Lord!"
Ten minutes later, the high-speed moving team returned to the birthplace platform.
Wei Yang, A Li and Qin Dalong greeted Qiao Shan respectively.
"Um…"
Nodding, Qiao Shan focused his gaze on the scorpion man who was tied up like a dumpling.
Through the gaps in the ropes of the dragon spearmen, he could see that these scorpion men were about the same height as real humans.
About the same weight.
Apart from the obvious features of a scorpion on its body, there is no other difference between it and a real person.
It was exactly like what he imagined a Scorpio man to be.
There is no discrepancy.
"How long can you keep them asleep?"
After walking around the Scorpion people's dumplings, Qiao Shan saw that all of them had their eyes closed, but their eyeballs were moving around. He turned to Wei Yang and asked.
"Take as long as you want!" Wei Yang said softly.
This non-professional ordinary scorpion person, who is at the seventh stage and eighth level, can be controlled for as long as she wants.
At this moment, in the minds of these scorpion people, they are still traveling quickly.
The charming power of the Sheep.
Let these Scorpios think that they are still on their way...
"Okay, let's get started!"
Qiao Shan didn't say much about Wei Yang's answer. He just spoke casually. After listening to Wei Yang's answer, Qiao Shan turned his head and looked at A Li.
It's Ahri's turn to take action.
"yes!"
Ahri, who had been eager to try, saw Qiao Shan's eyes and instantly raised her hand. Ten purple-red soul powers were quickly released by Ahri.
Facing ordinary scorpion people, Ahri is also very good.
She actually searched the souls of ten people at once.
Hit ten at a time!
Ahri was releasing quickly, Qiao Shan frowned, waiting for Ahri's result.
Originally he didn't care about the Scorpio, but he remembered the previous report from the Sheep.
It is said that the power of starlight emerged next to the traces of the holes caused by the Scorpion Man.
This directly surprised Qiao Shan.
Wanting to get more detailed information immediately, Qiao Shan chose to kidnap this group of ordinary scorpion people.
At least take a look at what this scorpion man's goal is.
What Qiao Shan particularly wanted to know at this moment was whether the scorpion people were in the same group as the tardigrades in the big rift.
If they are in the same group.
Then many of his plans would have to change.
If they were not in the same group, the first thing he wanted to know was why the power of starlight appeared in the traces of the scorpion man's walking.
Thinking about his goal, Qiao Shan looked at Ahri.
Waiting for Ahri to produce results quickly.
.
A few minutes later,
Ahri ended the soul search. For ordinary scorpion people, her soul search skill could be used without any damage. All ten scorpion people could not feel that they were being soul searched.
"Untie him!"
After the soul search was over, Ahri did not report to Qiao Shan immediately.
Instead, he walked to a scorpion man who was obviously larger in size, and should be the captain of the scorpion team, and spoke to the dragon spearman who tied him up.
Swish!
Qin Dalong said nothing, and in an instant, the rope tied to the Scorpion Captain retracted.
"Hey!"
When the rope ended, Ahri stepped forward quickly and took out a small bottle that could be held in one hand from a small leather bag on the scorpion captain's waist.
"explain!"
Seeing Ali walking towards him with the small bottle, Qiao Shan nodded.
He did not stop Ahri's action just now.
He believed that Ali would not mess around in this matter.
Ahri can definitely distinguish the priorities of things.
"This is a small water bottle, and it contains water containing the power of starlight."
Arriving next to Qiao Shan, Ali reported directly.
At the same time, he handed the small bottle in his hand to Qiao Shan.
"Um?"
In doubt, Qiao Shan took the small bottle handed to him by Ali.
Before the Scorpion Captain reached the Great Rift, he was carrying water containing starlight power.
The water with star power is something they already possess.
It turned out that it was not obtained from the Niah River.
Very strange!
Bang!
Taking the small pancake handed to him by Ali, Qiao Shan opened it without saying a word.
"Um!?"
Soon, Qiao Shan felt a faint starlight power in the bottle.
The starlight power is not as strong as that in the big crack.
But he was certain that the water in the pancake contained the power of starlight.
“That’s it!”
Turning his head, Qiao Shan saw Wei Yang nodding to him.
Wei Yang also sensed the power of starlight in the small cookie in Qiao Shan's hand.
Moreover, this water was exactly the same as the one discovered by the sheep before.
"Keep going!"
After confirming that the contents of Captain Scorpion's small bottle were water containing the power of starlight, Qiao Shan turned his attention back to Ahri.
Full of doubts, he wanted to ask what was going on.
It turns out that the Scorpion Man has his own star power, and it doesn't seem that he gets his water from the big rift.
This is so surprising.
"Ordinary Scorpion people don't know anything. All they know is to obey the Scorpion Captain's orders. They don't know anything else..."
Seeing Qiao Shan looking at her, Ali reported quickly.
"The Scorpion Captain was ordered to look for the Sun Disk. If he didn't find it, he was to take some water from the Nia River back..."
There was no stopping in Ahri's mouth.
"The star power water he carries with him is for them to sense the sun disk."
"The water containing the power of starlight on Captain Scorpion's body was given to him by his superior."
"There are quite a lot of spy teams like them. The captain of the Scorpion received this order two hours ago."
“…”
Ahri quickly reported the information she had obtained from soul searching to Qiao Shan.
" This water with star power, all we know is that it was given by his superior?"
After listening to Ali's report, Qiao Shan frowned and asked softly.
Why do Scorpios have water containing starlight power? This is what Qiao Shan wants to know most.
The most important thing for him right now is to confirm whether there is any connection between tardigrades and scorpion people.
Qiao Shan remembered that it was in the crater where the tardigrades lived.
There is a cave near the trident and fan-shaped stone slab in the middle.
He was now worried that the cave was connected to somewhere in the Shurima Desert.
The Scorpion's star power water is obtained from the connection with that cave.
Even Qiao Shan was worried.
That cave is directly connected to the Shurima Desert...
Tardigrades are something like taffy that is impervious to water and fire.
If we talk about the desert which is the forbidden zone of life.
Qiao Shan was not surprised.
But no matter what the situation is.
What he needed was certainty.
Make sure you’re guessing and worrying.
Only when you are sure can you come up with a solution.
Otherwise, everything is just worry.
"Yes, the other Scorpion Captains don't know."
Ahri answered quickly.
"Is the boss of this Scorpion Captain a professional?" Qiao Shan asked again.
"Not sure, I don't remember."
"So where does this scorpion man come from?"
"About a hundred kilometers from where we arrested them just now, there is an oasis in the desert. This group of Scorpion People live in that oasis..."
As long as Ali found out about Qiao Shan's problems, she told him all of them without reservation.
And Qiao Shan was also listening to Ali's report.
My mind was working rapidly as I continued to ask questions.
“Is the water source of the oasis where they live groundwater?”
"Yes, the oasis where they live has three wells..."
"Does their oasis have a city lord? What's the situation at the top level?"
"have no idea…"
Ali couldn't answer Qiao Shan's last question.
Because, Captain Scorpion did not have this information in his mind.
"Why are they looking for the sun disk?"
Seeing that Qiao Shan paused after asking his question, Wei Yang, who was next to Qiao Shan, suddenly asked.
She had just heard something that particularly interested her - the sun disk.
