The miserable state of the two mercenaries and their screams made everyone's hair go numb. However, these mercenaries were also existences who licked blood on the edge of a knife. After showing a trace of pity and helplessness, they continued to launch fierce attacks on the Black Poison Scorpion. It was not that these mercenaries did not care about the lives of other mercenaries, but they had seen too many life and death situations as mercenaries in the Xuantian Continent. They had already forgotten how many teammates had fallen by their side. The survival rule of the Xuantian Continent was survival of the fittest. No one would pay attention to a dead person. They would be sad and sad about the fall of their teammates, but that was only temporary.
Chen Ning looked at the scene before him. He suddenly realized how fragile people were. His friends who were laughing and talking in front of him had turned into corpses on the ground. He picked up the sword that the other mercenaries had helped him retrieve. Chen Ning looked at the black panther Zhou Qing and the other mercenaries who were fighting fiercely with the Black Poison Scorpion. He ignored the pain caused by circulating his Celestial Chi and quickly joined the battle.
Although Chen Ning had killed the leopard before, the leopard was heavily injured by the panther and the others. The Black Poison Scorpion in front of him was not only huge, but the blue poisonous liquid that was impossible to guard against made Chen Ning deeply afraid. However, Chen Ning knew that the weak spots of a scorpion were usually in the eyes, throat, and heart. However, the Black Poison Scorpion in front of him, throat, and heart were all protected by a layer of pitch-black scales. The only thing left was its eyes.
After figuring out the crux of the matter, Chen Ning and the other mercenaries circulated their Celestial Chi to attack the scorpion while shouting,""This scorpion's entire body is covered in scales. It's very difficult for us to break through its defense. Why don't we attack its eyes together? Once it's blind, we won't have to waste any effort to kill it.”
Black Panther and Zhou Qing, who were in the middle of a fierce battle with the Black Poison Scorpion, also felt that the words made sense. However, why did Black Panther feel that the voice was so familiar? When he saw that Chen Ning had also participated in the battle, he was surprised and worried. He could not help but shout,"Brother Chen Ning, you haven't recovered from your injuries yet.”
"It's fine, brother. My brothers are fighting together. How can I hide at the side? How can I face my dead brothers?”Chen Ning said as he stabbed the scorpion's tail with his sword while it was attacking the other mercenaries.
Hearing Chen Ning's words, not only Black Panther, but even Zhou Qing and the other mercenaries were slightly stunned. They did not expect Chen Ning to be so loyal. However, this was not the time to speak. They all used their Celestial Chi to attack the Black Poison Scorpion.
The Black Poison Scorpion was strong, but it was slowly losing its strength. It stabbed at Black Panther and Zhou Qing at lightning speed, and its pincers attacked the group. Although one or two mercenaries were injured from time to time, the Black Poison Scorpion was trapped. Chen Ning stared into the eyes of the Black Poison Scorpion, knowing that this was a rare opportunity. He shouted,"Brother Black Panther, brothers, help me hold back the scorpion. I'll attack its eyes.”After saying that, he gripped the sword in his hand tightly. The Celestial Chi in his body surged. Ignoring the stimulation in his chest, he stomped hard on the ground and soared into the air. He used the sword skill in the Azulet Sword Scroll and shot at the Black Poison Scorpion's eyes at high speed. All of this happened too quickly. Black Panther and the other mercenaries saw that Chen Ning had done it without hesitation. They also injected their Celestial Chi into their respective weapons to tie down the Black Poison Scorpion. Black Panther attacked the poisonous hook crazily, not giving it any time to turn around. This was to stall the Black Poison Scorpion.
Chen Ning was extremely fast. With the help of the Azulet Sword Scroll, his entire body shot out like a cannonball. The sword in his hand glowed with a faint purple light. Just as everyone was busy with the Black Poison Scorpion and Chen Ning was about to stab the scorpion's eyeball, the scorpion realized that it could not shake off the crowd. It suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a blue liquid, aiming at Chen Ning who was already very close to it. Then, it closed its eyes and began to move its head left and right in an attempt to dodge Chen Ning's dangerous attack.
However, Chen Ning followed the rhythm of the Black Poison Scorpion's movements and stabbed into its right eye. The sword, which was wrapped in a faint purple mist, pierced into the Black Poison Scorpion's eye with irresistible force. Almost at the same time, the blue liquid of the Black Poison Scorpion sprayed onto Chen Ning's body. Other than his head, which had escaped the attack range of the blue liquid, the rest of his body was hit by the blue liquid. His body immediately emitted sizzling sounds. With a rotting sound, the clothes quickly rotted away. Chen Ning let out a heart-palpitating scream of pain.
"Hiss, roar…"
The Black Poison Scorpion let out an ear-piercing and sorrowful cry as its right eye was severely injured. A sword hilt was stabbed into its right eye, and the entire sword was stabbed into its right eye. A large amount of blue liquid flowed out from the corner of the Black Poison Scorpion's eye. The pincers that were originally attacking the group were quickly retracted in front of Chen Ning, and Chen Ning was sent flying a dozen meters away. The poisonous hook that was emitting a cold light suddenly stabbed wildly without any direction.
Chen Ning's attack had succeeded, but he had also been sent flying more than ten meters away. The blue liquid had hit Chen Ning. Everyone was stunned, but it only lasted for a moment. Black Panther felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. Seeing Chen Ning so heavily injured, he probably wouldn't be able to survive. However, Black Panther didn't have time to think. The Black Poison Scorpion was attacking wildly. He knew that this was the best chance to kill the Black Poison Scorpion. He roared angrily."Everyone, come with me and kill this bastard to avenge Brother Chen Ning.”With that said, he took the lead. With a shake of his arm, he arrived in front of the Black Poison Scorpion at an extremely fast speed. The spear turned into a shadow and pierced into the abdomen of the Black Poison Scorpion under the influence of Celestial Chi. Zhou Qing and the other mercenaries arrived in an instant. Everyone attacked the Black Poison Scorpion crazily. All kinds of weapons attacked the body of the Black Poison Scorpion under the influence of Celestial Chi.
"Hiss…Hiss... Roar…"
Under the attacks of the crowd, the Black Poison Scorpion let out an incomparably hoarse scream. Its only remaining eye flashed with an incomparably crazy and irritable expression. Its entire body twisted in all directions, and its poisonous hook and pincers attacked crazily without any order. The black panther seized the moment when the Black Poison Scorpion could only attack and could not defend itself. It swung the spear in its hand and ruthlessly stabbed into the remaining eye of the Black Poison Scorpion. The Black Poison Scorpion was on the verge of going crazy at this moment, and did not notice the attack of the black panther at all."Pfft!" The black panther's spear pierced through the scorpion's left eye without any obstruction. With a roar, the black panther pushed the spear forward with its right hand, and the spear was halfway through.
"Hiss…Wu..."
After the Black Poison Scorpion let out an extremely painful cry, the poisonous hook and pincers that were swinging around gradually fell to the ground weakly. The entire huge scorpion body trembled a few times before it completely fell to the ground with a loud bang, no longer breathing.
With the death of the Black Poison Scorpion, the mercenaries cheered in excitement. This was a Level Two Black Poison Scorpion. Whether it was its Demonic Core or its body, it was a considerable income. However, Black Panther did not look happy at all. As the mercenaries took out their weapons and prepared to cut the Black Poison Scorpion, Black Panther walked silently towards the direction where Chen Ning had landed. His face was full of sadness, and even his footsteps were slightly trembling.
When the black panther arrived at Chen Ning's resting spot, he saw Chen Ning lying naked in the grass with his eyes closed. His face was pale, and his pale skin was tinged with a tinge of blue. It was as if he had been poisoned to death. Other than his head, his entire body was covered in blue liquid. The scar on his chest had been corroded by the blue liquid, and there were traces of blood bubbles on the rotting spot. His clothes had long been corroded by the poison, leaving only shreds of cloth hanging on his body. His entire body looked like a body that had been burned by fire.
Seeing Chen Ning in such a state, Heibao could not help but tear up. Two streams of tears rolled down his cheeks. They had not been together for long, but Chen Ning always took the lead when there was danger. He knew that he was no match for Chen Ning, but he still dared to draw his sword. Guannan, at the restaurant. Today, every little thing that happened between the two of them these days flashed through Heibao's mind. He crouched down beside Chen Ning, as if he had lost his soul. He sobbed,"Chen Ning, my brother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought you here to be a mercenary.”Black Panther blamed himself for bringing Chen Ning here to be a mercenary. He could have lived an ordinary life in the town. Although his life was ordinary, he would not have lost his life like this.
"Captain, Captain, look, Brother Chen Ning isn't dead yet. Look, his chest is still moving up and down.”Just as Black Panther was feeling extremely remorseful and sobbing, the mercenary who had been saved by Chen Ning from the black spotted panther's jaws squatted beside Black Panther and pushed him away.
Hearing the mercenary's words, Black Panther trembled. He did not bother to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes. He looked at Chen Ning and saw that Chen Ning's chest was indeed heaving slightly. Black Panther immediately cried tears of joy and quickly said to the mercenary,"Hurry up and bring over all the most expensive medicinal herbs.”Black Panther recognized the mercenary as well. He was Hu Wen, the man Chen Ning had saved.
Hu Wen didn't wait for Black Panther to finish his sentence before he hurriedly got up and scrambled to get the medicinal herbs with a face full of joy.
When Hu Wen brought the herbs over, he also brought a set of clothes for Chen Ning to change into. After Black Panther fed Chen Ning the herbs and a pill, Zhou Qing and the other mercenaries also rushed over. When they saw Chen Ning's chest rising and falling slightly, they were all surprised. Chen Ning, who had been hit by the Black Poison Scorpion's venom and then attacked by the Black Poison Scorpion's giant pincer, was still alive. However, they were all delighted. They also agreed with Chen Ning very much, but they did not have as deep of a relationship as Black Panther. However, it was normal for them. They were used to seeing too many life and death situations, and their hearts gradually changed.
At this moment, Chen Ning was completely oblivious to everything. He had fallen into a coma. The blood that had stopped flowing in Chen Ning's body was still flowing slowly under the urging of the Purple Celestial Chi. The poison that was all over his body was also slowly being removed by the Purple Celestial Chi. However, the speed of removal was very slow. The parts of his body that had decayed were also recovering at an extremely slow speed. No one noticed this.
After Black Panther confirmed that Chen Ning was still alive, his dull eyes became sharp again. He picked up Chen Ning's body and ordered everyone,""Clean up quickly and bury the dead brothers. Then, we will leave.”The mercenaries nodded in response and began to get busy. It was already evening, and the team had to find a place to set up camp first. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they were attacked by some demon beasts at night.
At night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, shedding its bright moonlight on the Demon Beast Mountain Range. However, because the Demon Beast Mountain Range was densely packed with towering trees, it completely covered the bright moonlight. The entire Demon Beast Mountain Range was still shrouded in darkness, making people feel waves of oppression. Somewhere in the mountain range, there were bonfires burning with firewood. It was Black Panther and his group. At this moment, the mercenaries were leaning on various kinds of food on the bonfire, making a "sizzling" sound. The mercenaries were talking and laughing in groups of three to five. The surrounding of the camp was also covered with powder that could prevent poisonous snakes. However, this powder had no effect on demon beasts. It could only prevent ordinary wild beasts.
Chen Ning, who was lying on the stretcher, was helped up by Black Panther. He poured some water into a reed-like straw for Chen Ning to drink. Looking at Chen Ning's pale face, Black Panther's face was full of worry. Although Chen Ning was still breathing evenly, he still did not wake up.
"Captain, eat something. Brother Chen Ning is a lucky man, and I believe he will be fine.”At some point, Hu Wen sat beside Black Panther and handed him a piece of roasted meat.
Black Panther shook his head to indicate that he was not hungry. Then, he asked Hu Wen,"Is the tent ready?"
Hu Wen nodded and replied,"Alright, Captain. Let's help Brother Chen Ning inside to rest."”The two of them then carefully helped Chen Ning into the tent. Hu Wen's gratitude towards Chen Ning was indescribable. If it wasn't for Chen Ning, he would have been a cold corpse by now and would have died long ago. Therefore, he was extra careful like Black Panther.
Late at night, when everyone had fallen asleep, Chen Ning, who was lying unconscious in the tent, frowned slightly and let out a small groan of pain. After a while, Chen Ning slowly opened his eyes and saw a tent." I'm still alive. I'm not dead?" " I didn't expect the Black Poison Scorpion to be so powerful. I was too careless," Chen Ning muttered to himself as he felt the burning pain all over his body. He then closed his eyes and activated the Azulet Sword Scroll to check his injuries. After checking, Chen Ning found that there was quite a bit of blue venom in his body. It seemed that the Black Poison Scorpion's venom was extremely corrosive and had seeped into his body. Chen Ning then circulated his Celestial Chi to try to refine the blue venom. However, when Chen Ning began to circulate his Celestial Chi, the meridians in his entire body began to throb with pain. There was no part of his body that did not hurt. As the Celestial Chi of Heaven and Earth entered his body, the pain became more intense. Even the pores all over his body were throbbing with pain. However, Chen Ning gritted his teeth and endured it. If he did not refine the blue poison with Celestial Chi, not only would his injuries not recover, it might even leave behind sequelae for his future cultivation. Therefore, Chen Ning had no intention of stopping even though he was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely.
Half an hour later, as Chen Ning continued to absorb the Xuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, the intense pain gradually increased with the passage of time. Just as Chen Ning was gritting his teeth in pain and could not help but scream, the blue poison in his body was finally completely refined by Chen Ning's Xuan Qi. After Chen Ning refined the blue poison, two faint lights, one purple and one green, suddenly flashed in Chen Ning's Dantian. The two lights slowly emitted purple and green gas. It filled Chen Ning's body. When the purple and green gases appeared, the Celestial Chi in his body quickly fused with the two gases and turned into faint purple Celestial Chi. As the purple Celestial Chi increased, Chen Ning quickly circulated his Celestial Chi to wrap the purple Celestial Chi together. Under Chen Ning's control, the purple gas was tightly compressed into a small sphere. As the purple gas increased, the sphere became larger and larger. When the last trace of purple Celestial Chi was absorbed, Chen Ning's Celestial Chi was absorbed. The sphere exploded just like the previous breakthrough, turning into pure energy that fused into every part of his body. At this moment, Chen Ning felt that his strength was increasing rapidly. When Chen Ning had completely melted the pure energy, he slowly opened his eyes and felt his own realm. A happy smile appeared on his face. He had successfully broken through to the third level of the Mystical Cultivator, and was only one step away from the fourth level.
