Chapter 2107 Immortal Insect Valley, Iron-Tailed Scorpion

On the map, a shimmering elixir suddenly caught Chen Xuan's eye.

With Chen Xuan's expertise in alchemy, he instantly recognized it as the Clear Radiance Immortal Herb he was looking for.

"God is really helping me!"

Chen Xuan was extremely excited.

Taking this opportunity, he quickly studied it thoroughly.

After confirming that there were no problems with the map in his hand, he carefully put it away.

"With the map of Tianhai Water Pavilion in my hand, my future actions will be much more convenient."

"After I finish what I'm doing, I'll hurry to where the Qinghui Immortal Herb is and pick it!"

Chen Xuan muttered something under his breath and then got back to work.

About half an hour later, Chen Xuan finally finished sorting out the spoils in front of him.

To his dismay, none of the supreme immortal artifacts he desired were available.

The only thing that brought him comfort was the small bronze bell that Liu Qing had activated.

Wow!

With a thought, Chen Xuan directly poured a surge of powerful immortal energy into the bronze bell.

Soon, the bronze bell suddenly increased in size.

After a while, it became more than ten feet in size.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was not in a hurry to test the power of the bronze bell directly. Instead, he carefully studied the heaven-reaching runes on it.

Before long, an indescribable look of surprise appeared in Chen Xuan's eyes.

"These heaven-reaching runes are actually a map? They seem to originate from the same source as the heaven-reaching runes on the animal hide in my hand!"

Chen Xuan was extremely surprised.

As he spoke, he swiftly flipped his hand, taking out the animal hide from his grasp and carefully comparing it to the celestial runes on it.

A moment later, Chen Xuan smiled with delight.

"Sure enough, the Heavenly Rune on the bronze bell and the Heavenly Rune on the animal skin are one and the same."

"Doesn't this mean that these two incomplete written maps are actually from the same place?"

"It's a pity I don't have time to study it carefully right now."

"Otherwise, you should be able to tell exactly where this place is!"

Chen Xuan sighed softly.

After studying it for a while, he stored the bronze bell and the animal hide together.

After dealing with this matter, Chen Xuan was not idle either.

They quickly checked the injuries of Chen Xie and the other demonic beasts.

After seeing all the demonic beasts cultivate in the icy pool for a while and their injuries have fully healed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"With the Cold Pool here, as long as my demon beast has a breath left, it will be completely healed! This Immortal Beast Tower is indeed quite remarkable!"

"However, I don't have time to waste here any longer!"

After muttering something under his breath, Chen Xuan immediately led the group of demonic beasts away.

……

Two weeks later, in front of a huge valley.

A figure gracefully descended from the sky.

The person who arrived was Chen Xuan.

During these two weeks, Chen Xuan encountered many powerful figures from the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect along the way.

With his strength, dealing with these ordinary experts from the Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect would be a piece of cake.

Along the way, every Heavenly Sword Immortal Sect expert who encountered Chen Xuan turned into a corpse.

"Is this the Valley of Immortal Insects?"

Chen Xuan held the map in his hand and kept comparing it with the surrounding terrain.

Once he confirmed his location was correct, he smiled with satisfaction.

Fairy Insect Valley!

This is a famous canyon in Tianxiang Pavilion.

It is also a very dangerous place.

It is said that almost no powerful person who enters the Immortal Insect Valley comes out alive.

Chen Xuan naturally didn't want to come to this kind of place either.

However, the location of the Qinghui Immortal Herb happens to be in the Immortal Insect Valley.

Even if Chen Xuan didn't want to go in, he couldn't.

Wow!

With his divine senses scattered, Chen Xuan carefully examined the situation at the entrance of Immortal Insect Valley.

At the entrance of Immortal Insect Valley, there were quite a few white bones.

Among them, many of the bones emanated an aura that was actually that of a mid-stage Celestial Immortal, causing Chen Xuan to raise an eyebrow.

"Even a mid-stage Celestial Immortal could perish at the entrance of Immortal Insect Valley. It seems that the dangers within Immortal Insect Valley are far greater than I anticipated."

"If I want to get in there, I have to be extremely careful!"

Chen Xuan frowned slightly.

The next instant, with a thought, he released all the demonic beasts, including the Gold-Eating Insects and the Chen Scorpion.

"I've met the master!"

All the monsters said in unison.

"Next, we're going to the Immortal Insect Valley to pick the Pure Radiance Immortal Herb. This Immortal Insect Valley is fraught with danger!"

You'd better be careful.

After reminding the demon beasts, Chen Xuan immediately waved his hand.

Soon, all the demonic beasts skillfully accompanied Chen Xuan.

Chen Xie used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape underground) to hide.

The swarm of gold-devouring insects scattered, covering an area of ​​seven or eight miles.

Any slightest movement could be clearly detected by the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm and promptly reported to Chen Xuan.

As for Chen Quan, Chen Chong, and Chen Li, they each used their own methods to hide around Chen Xuan.

With the covert protection of the demonic beasts, Chen Xuan felt much more at ease.

However, he still dared not be careless, secretly activating the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye to closely observe every move around him.

In the Valley of Immortal Insects, there are white bones everywhere.

There are true immortals and powerful demon beasts.

However, many of these bones have long since weathered away due to the passage of time.

It turned into powder with the slightest touch.

As Chen Xuan walked, he picked out the remains of the True Immortal and buried them.

Despite Chen Xuan's calm demeanor, he was secretly observing the injuries left on these skeletons.

"Whether it was a true immortal or a demon beast, there weren't many scars left on their skeletons!"

"However, some of the skeletons had obvious small holes. The area around the holes was completely smooth!"

"It looks like something pierced through the bone with incredibly powerful force!"

"Could this be the reason why these immortals and demonic beasts died?"

Chen Xuan muttered to himself, but he was also a little unsure.

A moment later, Chen Xuan seemed to have discovered something, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

At that very moment, the swarm of gold-devouring insects scattered nearby simultaneously alerted Chen Xuan.

At that moment, a clear rustling sound suddenly came from the soil beneath Chen Xuan's feet.

It felt as if hundreds of insects were attacking Chen Xuan from underground.

"This……"

Chen Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he rapidly activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye to its maximum.

Only then did he realize that dozens of feet below him, a group of fist-sized demonic scorpions, exuding terrifying mid-stage Earth Immortal aura, were rapidly gathering at his location.

These demonic scorpions were not very large, but their tails emitted a faint metallic sheen.

With Chen Xuan's keen eyesight, he instantly recognized the origin of these demonic scorpions.

"This is... an Irontail Scorpion?"

Irontail Scorpion!

One of the ancient mythical beasts.

Because the Iron-Tailed Scorpion is most skilled in earth-based techniques and prefers to live in groups, its combat power is quite formidable. Therefore, wherever the Iron-Tailed Scorpion resides, no demonic beasts or spirit insects dare to approach.

Chen Xuan never expected that he would inadvertently stumble into the territory of the Iron-Tailed Scorpion.

"Master, be careful!"

Chen Xie's voice rang in Chen Xuan's ears.

Chen Xuan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, although there are many of these Iron-tailed Scorpions, they may not be a match for us!"

"I'm quite curious, what would it be like if you also had an army of demonic beasts?"

Chen Xuan's lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice to Chen Xie.

Not long ago, the Gold-Eating Insect swarm, under Chen Chong's command, was invincible.

With Chen Chong's cultivation at the Earth Immortal level, he actually possessed the strength to kill a Celestial Immortal in the early stages.

If Chen Xie were also equipped with a powerful army of demonic scorpions, his combat strength would probably be even greater.

"Master, is this... going to work?"

Chen Xie looked at Chen Xuan with anticipation in his eyes.

Chen Xuan laughed heartily: "What's wrong with that? Don't worry. I think these Iron-Tailed Scorpions are perfect for your demon beast army!"

As they were talking, Chen Xuan had a sudden thought and contacted Chen Chong directly.

"Go ahead and kill these Irontail Scorpions. But you need to keep an eye on which direction they escape from."

"Yes, Master!"

Chen Chong agreed and immediately commanded the Gold-Eating Insects to begin the battle.

Wow!

Fifteen thousand gold-devouring insects, seemingly fewer in number than the attacking iron-tailed scorpions.

Their strength lies in their orderly organization and understanding of teamwork.

Under Chen Chong's command, the Gold-Eating Insect swarm continuously divided and encircled the attacking Iron-Tailed Scorpion swarm.

In just a short while, a large number of Irontail Scorpions were completely devoured by the Gold-Eating Insects.

Seeing that things were not going well, the remaining hundreds of iron-tailed scorpions immediately turned and fled.

Upon seeing this, Chen Chong was overjoyed.

While contacting Chen Xuan, he directed the Gold-Eating Insect swarm to follow.

"Now that the Irontail Scorpions have started to flee, we should follow them and find their nest!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly and gestured for all the demon beasts to follow.

They traveled at breakneck speed, and after an hour, they finally arrived at a place full of rubble.

These pebbles provide an excellent hiding place for the Irontail Scorpion.

Chen Xuan did not allow the Gold-Eating Insects to launch an attack rashly. Instead, he released the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye and carefully examined the insects.

Upon seeing that there were even a few Iron-tailed Scorpions at the late-stage Great Perfection of Earth Immortal realm in the nests of these Iron-tailed Scorpions, Chen Xuan was overjoyed.

"Come out! I know you can understand me!"

Chen Xuan's voice was not loud.

But its force was like a thunderclap.

The rubble that had been thrown around trembled violently.

The Iron-Tailed Scorpions, who were at the late-stage Great Perfection of Earth Immortal realm and were hiding in their lair, scrambled out of their hiding place.

"I've met senior!"

"If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us, senior!"

Several late-stage Earth Immortal Iron-Tailed Scorpions hurriedly begged Chen Xuan for mercy.

They knew perfectly well that it was not shameful to be humble at this moment.

It would be truly shameful to lose one's life because of one's attitude.

"Heh, you lot know your limits. In that case, let's have a proper talk. Not long ago, your Irontail Scorpion clan actually launched a sneak attack on me. What's your story on that?"

Chen Xuan appeared calm on the surface, but the threat in his tone was unmistakable.

Especially when he was speaking, the pressure from his Celestial Immortal realm caused several late-stage Earth Immortal Iron-tailed Scorpions to change their expressions drastically.

"Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life!"

"We were blind and offended your great power. Please, senior, have mercy and spare our lives."

"Senior, if you're willing to spare us, our Irontail Scorpion clan is willing to follow you to the death!"

Several late-stage Earth Immortal Red-tailed Scorpions were quite discerning.

Rather than risk my life, I'd rather seek refuge with Chen Xuan.

Perhaps, not only will they be able to save their lives, but they may also have other opportunities.

really!

Chen Xuan's lips curled into a faint smile as he listened to the end.

"Are you really planning to sincerely pledge your allegiance to me?"

"It's natural!"

"Hehe, seeing how sincere you are, I won't make things difficult for you. Hand over 10,000 Irontail Scorpion hatchling eggs, and I'll let this matter drop, how about it?"
