Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

166: Ranking of Gu worms, fishing for the Ice Soul King ScorpionChen Changsheng cried out in alarm. Looking at the densely packed poison scorpions covering the ground, his scalp tingled, and he couldn’t help but gasp!

These little things weren’t easy to deal with. Chen Changsheng had once seized the upper and lower volumes of the ”Hundred Gu Manual” from an Elder of the Gu God Cult, which recorded the rankings of the world’s Gu insects.

This Ice Soul Poison Scorpion is ranked ninth among Mortal Gu. Don’t underestimate this ranking; the world’s Gu insects are divided into five grades: Mortal Gu, Spirit Gu, Treasure Gu, Origin Gu, and Immortal Gu. Mortal Gu correspond to a Cultivator’s Qi Refinement Stage!

Being ranked ninth among all Mortal Gu in the world is enough to prove its power. Although its defense isn’t high and its attack isn’t strong, its toxicity is immense!

They usually live in extremely cold places, so a Cold Toxin is produced within their bodies. If a Qi Refining Cultivator is stung by its tail, they will generally be tormented by the Cold Toxin until their Yang Qi is exhausted, and nine times out of ten, they freeze to death!

”Be careful not to get stung by them. Their tails have Cold Toxin, and we have no medicine to neutralize it!”

Chen Changsheng shouted to warn his two sons. Seeing Chen Changsheng so tense, Chen Chuanjie immediately launched an attack.

”Dark Flood Dragon Swallows the Mountain, First Sword: Nether Sea!”

This Move of Chen Chuanjie’s was best suited for group attacks. Densely packed Sword Qi shot out from the netherworld sword, surging toward the Ice Soul Poison Scorpions like ocean waves.

The defense of these Ice Soul Poison Scorpions was not strong. Upon meeting Chuanwen’s Sword Qi, they instantly shattered like blocks of ice, turning into fragments of corpses!

This single sword strike from Chuanjie directly wiped out over a hundred Ice Soul Poison Scorpions, instantly halting their offensive momentum.

”Phew, luckily we can block them. Chuanjie, use a few more strikes to wipe out this group of poison scorpions!”

Seeing Chuanjie’s sword technique take effect, Chen Changsheng let out a long sigh of relief and whispered instructions to Chuanjie.

”Father, my magic power is less than a third. I can use at most two more strikes, which won’t be enough to wipe out this group. We should hurry and retreat!”

Chuanjie looked troubled. Since entering the Jade Dragon Pool, he had been constantly performing the three Moves of the Dark Flood Dragon Swallows the Mountain, which consumed a lot of magic power. Now, his magic power was running low!

”Sigh, what a pity. If only we could lure out the Ice Soul King Scorpion. It is no longer a Mortal Gu; it ranks seventeenth among Spirit Gu. If we could refine it, it could even threaten an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator!”

Chen Changsheng looked at the Ice Soul Poison Scorpions everywhere and sighed. As the king of the Ice Soul Poison Scorpions, the Cold Toxin in its body was extremely potent. If someone in the Qi Refinement Stage was stung, they would immediately turn into an ice sculpture. If someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage was stung, their magic power would be frozen, their internal organs frostbitten, and if not treated in time, they would die from damage to their Origin!

Chen Changsheng knew it was impossible and wanted to lead the two away, but at this moment, Chuanwu suddenly stepped forward and asked with a serious expression:

”Father, if we have the Ice Soul King Scorpion, would we no longer need to fear the Prefecture City’s Five Great Aristocratic Families?”

”Of course. The highest cultivation in the Five Great Aristocratic Families is only the Peak of Qi Refining. With the Ice Soul King Scorpion as a trump card, who would be brave enough to try their luck!”

Chen Changsheng shook his head with some regret. It was a pity that the three of them couldn’t handle this swarm of Ice Soul Poison Scorpions; otherwise, they really would have a chance to lure the Ice Soul King Scorpion.

”Father, let me try to deal with these scorpions. You and Chuanjie go fish for the Ice Soul King Scorpion!”

Chen Chuanwu said seriously. Chen Changsheng looked at Chen Chuanwu in surprise. In his impression, Chuanwu was just a Mid-stage Qi Refining Body Cultivator with some success in body tempering. The top combat power in the family was still Chuanjie. If Chuanjie couldn’t do it, Chuanwu probably couldn’t either!

”You... forget it. Let’s go back. Let’s not have any unnecessary casualties!”

Chen Changsheng was silent for a moment before advising Chuanwu to give up on this dangerous idea. Chuanwu looked at Chen Changsheng with a very serious expression and said:

”Father, trust me!”

While Chen Changsheng was still considering, Chen Chuanwu had already strode toward the scorpion swarm.

”Hey, Chuanwu, come back quickly! Don’t be impulsive!”

Seeing the dense swarm of scorpions closing in on Chuanwu, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but worry and shouted loudly at Chuanwu’s back.

”Haha, Father, don’t worry. Watch my methods!”

Chen Chuanwu turned his head and laughed at Chen Changsheng, then strode into the dense swarm of scorpions and shouted:

”Tiger Roar Bloody Wind Chart!”

With Chuanwu’s low shout, a scroll suddenly appeared out of thin air behind him. On it was painted a Crimson Tiger, surrounded by a gale of bloody wind and rain!

”Roar!”

The fierce tiger in the painting let out a long roar, and a massive wave of ferocity pressed down. The dense swarm of scorpion shadows was instantly frozen as if paralyzed, all pinned to the spot.

Then, the Crimson Tiger in the painting actually lunged out, coming from the scroll into reality. Its fur was crimson as blood, and its scarlet pupils held a killing intent like a sword!

A tiger descending the mountain is unstoppable, let alone a Crimson Tiger that represents slaughter.

It charged into the swarm of Ice Soul Poison Scorpions and began its slaughter. Every strike of its massive paws crushed a patch of scorpions to death.

Even more strange was that as it slaughtered, a wisp of bright red bloody aura would rise from each dead scorpion and flow into the Crimson Tiger’s body.

Countless scorpions died, and for a time, wisps of red aura drifted into the sky before gathering on the Crimson Tiger, looking like a rain of blood!

Nourished by the blood rain, the Crimson Tiger fought more and more bravely. Those scorpions desperately stung the Crimson Tiger, but the ice-blue Cold Toxin that flowed into its body was actually neutralized by the blood rain gathered on it.

For a time, the Crimson Tiger launched a hunt against the entire scorpion swarm!

”I really didn’t expect Big Brother’s Vision to be so powerful!”

Chuanjie watched the Crimson Tiger slaughtering the scorpion swarm and couldn’t help but praise it.

”Since Chuanwu has suppressed the scorpion swarm for us, we must seize the opportunity to lure out the Ice Soul King Scorpion. This King Scorpion is vital to the prosperity of our Chen family!”

Chen Changsheng’s eyes lit up, and he spoke with a face full of surprise. He hadn’t expected Chuanwu to actually create an opportunity for them to fish for the King Scorpion.

”Chuanjie, pull that monster’s corpse to the abyss and bleed it to lure the King Scorpion out!”

Chen Changsheng said to Chuanjie. As a king, the Ice Soul King Scorpion had even heavier Cold Toxin. They were born with an extreme thirst for Yang Qi. Blood is the medium through which Yang Qi flows in humans and beasts, and since monster Yao Beasts have powerful physiques, their blood contains a large amount of Yang Qi, making it natural bait for dealing with the Ice Soul King Scorpion!

”Alright, I’m going now!”

Chuanjie carried the Monster Fish, endured the severe cold, and came to the edge of the abyss, quickly stabbing several holes in it with the netherworld sword!

For a time, blood flowed freely, spreading down toward the abyss. Chen Changsheng and Chuanjie waited with bated breath.

Finally... a rustling sound was heard!

Chen Changsheng’s spirit was jolted. He watched the edge of the abyss closely. A translucent white scorpion, as crystal clear as a piece of art, quickly crawled up. Its movements were as fast as an afterimage as it crawled to the monster’s wound and began to suck the blood!

”Its body is as crystal clear as ice soul, its tail is as green as emerald, and its size is about the size of a thumb. Haha, this is it, the Ice Soul King Scorpion!!”

”Chuanjie!! Do it!!!”
