I, a cultivator, have ended up in the world of tomb raiding.

Li Yue was preparing to use magic to cleanse the Yin pill in his hand when he heard this noise and immediately turned his head to look.

Ahead, a crooked old tree, as thick as a person's embrace, was shaking violently, its dense branches and leaves falling and flying everywhere, and its trunk swaying incessantly.

Such a thick, old tree, which would be difficult to shake even in a strong wind, is now trembling for no reason, clearly indicating that some evil spirit is at work.

Upon closer inspection of the treetops, a giant, jet-black scorpion was indeed seen hanging upside down on a branch.

The scorpion's body is flat like a board, its carapace is dark and thick with a dull luster, and its outline is as graceful as an old, black pipa.

Its limbs are as hard as iron; with the slightest movement, the hard shell rubs together and produces a crisp, metallic sound.

Its aura was fierce and ruthless, and its power was in no way inferior to the six-winged centipede in the previous Dan Palace of Ping Mountain.

"Look, there's another one over here!"

The girl in red had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the unusual movement on the other side, so she lowered her voice and urgently warned them.

They looked in that direction, and the moon's shadow pierced through the thin mist, clearly illuminating the treetops on the opposite side.

Between the branches of the crooked old tree, lurking in the distance, lay another enormous mountain scorpion.

A pair of jet-black giant claws opened and closed, gathering power, shaped like iron pincers, exuding a menacing aura and a menacing presence.

It is common knowledge that wild mountain scorpions are solitary and aloof, only briefly living in groups when raising their young or overwintering.

The two black scorpions in front of me are different sizes and clearly male and female, obviously a pair of symbiotic scorpion kings!

Miao Renxiang's face turned deathly pale instantly, cold sweat soaked his forehead, and he cried out in shock:

"My goodness, these are the Black Pipa Spirits from the scorpions of western Hunan, and they're even a pair! If they target us, we're doomed..."

Although no one knew what the Black Pipa Spirit was.

But seeing the two mountain scorpions in front of him, so large and with pincers that seemed to whirl in the wind, he knew how formidable they were.

Upon seeing the two enormous mountain scorpions carrying a menacing aura, he was greatly alarmed, his heart tightened, and he became extremely vigilant.

Miao Zi was both startled and panicked, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead:

"Among mountain scorpions, male scorpions are the most vicious. Although they are smaller than female scorpions, their venom is extremely potent and difficult to deal with."

This male and female attacked together; this place was probably their territory before. We'd better leave quickly!

But it was too late at that moment.

Before he finished speaking, two jet-black mountain scorpions simultaneously stretched out their jaws and fangs, revealing their chillingly sharp venomous pincers, and suddenly swooped down along the branches, closing in on the center of the coffin.

Miao Zi was almost in despair; in her fear, she couldn't even conceive of running away.

He was just muttering softly in the local dialect, seemingly praying for divine protection.

But then she remembered Li Yue, who had extraordinary abilities, and quickly turned to look at him, pinning her hopes on his only chance of survival.

But then he saw a rooster standing quietly at Li Yue's feet, its body robust, its feathers fluffy, and its appearance extraordinary.

At that moment, when Li Yue saw the two mountain scorpions coming down from the tree, a deep look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

What surprised him was not the arrival of the Scorpion King, but the large, robust female scorpion.

The female scorpion in this pair was remarkably similar to the dead scorpion he had seen in the Yuan Dynasty tomb chamber.

The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the light in the forest was deep and dim.

But his eyesight was exceptional, and he was still able to recognize the scorpion's features.

After all, he had carefully examined the scorpion's corpse back then.

Li Yue was filled with confusion and astonishment:

He only knew that it was the natural order for people to die, become corpses, and eventually stiffen over time.

But I've never heard of poisonous insects dying without decaying, withered corpses coming back to life, or corpses turning into evil spirits!

In the blink of an eye, the two black scorpions had already climbed down from the tree.

Upon sensing the strong, fishy smell and the scent of roosters near the coffin, they went berserk, their entire bodies radiating ferocity.

Then, like a black wind, it swirled around the base of the tree and jumped towards the nearest old man and seedling.

At the critical moment, the Angry Rooster beside Li Yue suddenly flapped its wings and attacked!

It had already sensed the danger around it, and was on high alert. In an instant, it locked onto the largest female scorpion and flew up.

The Angry Rooster spread its giant wings in mid-air, its colorful feathers bursting open, and pressed its body down, landing heavily on the black scorpion's hard carapace!

The mother scorpion was trampled by such a huge force, lost her balance, and fell to the ground after tumbling through the air.

The Angry Rooster's timing was impeccable; the instant it landed on the scorpion's back, its sharp golden claws gripped the scorpion's stinger tightly, and it yanked hard.

It forcefully dragged the enormous female scorpion, causing her to roll and spin on the spot.

The female scorpion became extremely ferocious, wildly lashing out with her black pincers and sweeping wildly with her venomous tail.

Its hard shell kept hitting the ground with muffled thuds as it struggled and fought back frantically.

With its innate ability to subdue venomous insects, the Angry Sun Chicken, with its sturdy legs and flexible neck, dodges the scorpion's sweeping claws and pecks rapidly with its sharp beak, each strike aimed at the scorpion's weak points in its armor.

Chickens have limited carrying capacity from their wings, but their necks and claws possess unparalleled strength and explosive power.

For a time, they were locked in a fierce battle with the mountain scorpion king, rolling and fighting each other, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

But the moment the Angry Sun Chicken restrained the female scorpion, the male scorpion on the other side had already launched a fierce and ferocious attack, moving as swiftly as the wind, and pounced straight on the crowd!

"They came so fast!"

Partridge Whistle gave a low shout, reacted swiftly, raised his hand to lift the twenty-shot mirror-finish pistol, and decisively pulled the trigger.

A flash of light, and a barrage of bullets erupted.

The dark shadow in the air immediately landed, and the grass shook wildly. It was unclear whether the scorpion had been hit or injured.

The forest was dense with vegetation and obstacles, and the darkness of night obstructed visibility. Partridge Whistle, fearing that his bullets might accidentally hit the Angry Rooster, which was locked in fierce combat, dared not open fire again.

He kept a close eye on the unusual movements in the bushes, pinpointing the scorpion king's location, and immediately called out in a deep, urgent voice:

"Quickly open the coop and release the chickens! The dense forest here presents too many obstacles, making it difficult to accurately snipe with firearms. Only a rooster ganging up on these scorpions can subdue them!"

Hua Ling and the old foreigner immediately responded and quickly prepared to release the two carefully selected roosters to surround and kill the two Black Scorpion Kings.

However, the situation was urgent, and there was no time to carry them out one by one. The two hurriedly opened the bamboo baskets, lifted the lids, and threw them into the air.

The two roosters were tossed out of their cage and immediately flapped their wings in fright.

After landing and seeing the huge, active poisonous creatures around him, he quickly roused himself.

They are natural enemies of poisonous creatures; once they meet, they will fight to the death.

Although I felt listless and my vision was blurry under the moonlight.

But when suddenly encountering a mountain scorpion, its eyes instantly turned red.

As soon as it landed, it spotted the mountain scorpion and pounced on it without hesitation.

After a moment of disorientation, the three roosters in the forest had already surrounded and were fighting the two giant scorpions.

However, the night was dark, and the rooster's eyesight was already limited, so its movements were not as good as during the day.

Fortunately, the occasional loud, angry crows of the Angry Rooster encouraged them to remain spirited and fight with increasing ferocity.

Although the rooster was not as large as the two scorpions, it gained the upper hand in the fight thanks to its innate ability to control venomous insects and its fearless spirit.

On one side, the chickens pecked at the insect pincers, neither giving way.

On one side, sharp claws pecked fiercely, and venomous pincers clamped down relentlessly, fighting until the sky darkened and the battle was evenly matched.

The fight between the insect and the chicken was extremely dangerous, and the others had no way to intervene; they could only watch nervously from the sidelines.

Although Li Yue did not make a move, he kept a close eye on the Angry Rooster's condition.

These two scorpions were not difficult for him to deal with.

However, there aren't many opportunities for the Angry Rooster to gain real combat experience.

Seeing that it was fully capable of handling the situation, I stood a little distance away and observed the situation.

Just as the three chickens and the two poisonous scorpions were locked in a fierce battle, Li Yue suddenly heard a very faint sound of gravel sliding down.

The sound was faint, and it seemed to be coming from deep underground.
