Chapter 316: Chapter 312: Black and White Twin Snakes

Outside the Obelisk.

The golden giant-eye rune suddenly released a dazzling light, and the mountains under everyone’s feet also started to shake violently, as if they would collapse at any moment.

But this strange phenomenon only lasted for a few seconds before returning to normal, leaving everyone staring at each other in surprise.

Wang Chen lifted his eye mask, looking at the giant eye rune on the Obelisk that had once again dimmed down, and said, “It seems that Bai Qi has found the entrance.”

Malik sighed, saying, “That must be it. It appears this inheritance will now fall into Bai Qi’s hands.”

“You’re speaking too soon, he’s only found the entrance.”

Bai Heguang shook his head and said, “However, we should get ready too.”

“Hmm.”

Malik’s face turned serious, and Wang Chen’s eyes also rarely became serious, saying, “Rest assured, the snare is ready, just wait calmly.”

“Hmm.”

Bai Heguang nodded and then closed his eyes again.

The three of them didn’t avoid Li Xusheng during their conversation, but Li Xusheng didn’t hear anything. After seeing Malik nod his head, he placed his hand on the Obelisk.

The familiar golden light, the familiar stone chamber, the familiar Golden Beetle Statue.

The only difference was the multitude of black beetles scattered all over the square.

…

Bang!

Yellow sand danced in the air, and a man with five pets emerged from the sand, all a bit disheveled.

“Pah… I almost got buried alive, the teleportation method of this Mythical Secret Realm is really a bit shabby.”

Bai Qi spat out the yellow sand that had gotten into his mouth and his face showed clear displeasure.

Ah woo…

(I was scared to death, I thought I was going to get buried alive…)

Beta was still in shock. Although the process of being absorbed into the golden whirlpool was a bit thrilling, the golden molten fluid didn’t harm them. Instead, it gave them a warm feeling of the Sun.

The feeling didn’t last for too long. Suddenly, the golden molten liquid around them turned into yellow sand. If it hadn’t been for Alpha’s quick reaction in opening up an escape route, they might have been crushed by the desert.

Gaga gag.

(Boss, I get the feeling that something is watching us.)

Alpha gripped the Sword of Death tightly, vigilantly scanning the surroundings. Bai Qi also seemed to sense something and instinctively looked up at the Great Sun overhead.

This was the actual Sun Secret Realm, right?

“Schuck, search the vicinity for any buildings or creatures.”

Schuck nodded his head, and various scouting bees flew out one after another, quickly transmitting the surrounding environmental data back to Schuck. Soon, a holographic map appeared before Bai Qi.

“Is it that tower?”

Comparing the marks on the map, Bai Qi looked at a dark shadow that pierced the sky in the distance, and immediately decided on the direction to move forward.

“Lads, let’s go!”

The five pets nodded their heads in agreement. The man and his five pets quickly adjusted their states and moved toward the tower.

They hadn’t walked far when a giant scorpion suddenly emerged from the yellow sand. The long tail needle firmly locked onto Bai Qi and his pets, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

[Name]: Sand Scorpion

[Attribute]: Insect System

[Bloodline Level]: Low-level Elite

[Introduction]: They are communal creatures who like to hide in the yellow sand waiting for their prey to approach, then surround and attack all at once.

…

Surrounding Bai Qi, tens of Sand Scorpions crept out from the yellow sand one after another, slowly gathering towards Bai Qi. Apparently, they planned to completely surround them.

“I thought it would be some special creature, turns out it’s just Sand Scorpions.”

Seeing the incoming Sand Scorpions, Bai Qi was rather disappointed.

With Schuck and Beta’s scouting ability, of course, they had noticed these creatures under the yellow sand early on. But considering that this was a Mythical Secret Realm, Bai Qi thought he might encounter some rare creatures, so he did not rush to get rid of them.

But the result was just Sand Scorpions, leaving him quite disappointed.

“But they are slightly larger than the Sand Scorpions outside, maybe we could consider them for food.”

Upon entering here, Bai Qi found that he had completely lost contact with the Secret Realm Base. Delta also said his connection with space was considerably weakened, apparently due to this realm’s suppression.

Considering that they might stay here for several days, it is always right to prepare some rations in advance.

“Epsilon, these scorpions are yours.”

“What?!”

Suddenly called out by Bai Qi, Chubby Insect Grass was taken aback, saying, “But I don’t have the ability to fight directly!”

“No problem, combat strength is something that can be cultivated.”

Bai Qi revealed a strange smirk at the corner of his mouth, grabbed the insect grass and threw it towards the swarm of Sand Scorpions, while they directly took shelter in the metal house created by Schuck.

Plop plop.

（Master, can Epsilon really do it?）

Delta, who was the closest to the biological research and insect grass, couldn’t help but feel worried.

“No problem, a symbiotic creature fused with two high-level lords and the core of the Knowledge Ancient Tree is not as weak as we think.”

Bai Qi paused, saying, “At most, it’s the weakest among us.”

Delta nodded but was still prepared to rescue at any moment.

Outside the metal house, the Sand Scorpions seemed to realize that they couldn’t break the metal house, so they target insect grass without hesitation.

Seeing Sand Scorpions rushing towards him rapidly from all around, the Insect Grass was filled with despair. After seeing Bai Qi hiding into the metal object not far away, it felt utterly hopeless.

“What did I do to deserve this…”

Feeling helpless, the insect grass sighed while suddenly opening a pair of colorful insect wings from behind. With the wings vibrating, a multitude of colorful powder was dispersed into the air.

This powder, resembling pollen or phosphorus on a butterfly’s wings, floated down onto the bodies of the Sand Scorpions.

However, this phosphorus didn’t cause any damage to the Sand Scorpions. Thus, after a short pause, these Sand Scorpions continued to attack.

But when the Insect Grass landed, the Sand Scorpion group ignored grass insect completely and unanimously stopped, crawling quietly on the ground as if they were worshipping their king.

Hypnotic Pollen.

The effect of hypnotic pollen significantly enhanced after integrating with insect phosphorus. Even if the Sand Scorpions only got a bit stained on their surface, they still fell into a sleep state.

However, this state was clearly not stable, and some distant Sand Scorpions were wiggling their stingers from time to time, as if they would wake up at any moment.

Seeing this, the seven-colored vines on the insect grass suddenly lengthened and quickly wrapped around each Sand Scorpion like a long snake. Sharp thorns pierced through the shell of the Sand Scorpions, injecting paralysing toxin into their bodies.

Under the double effects of hypnotic pollen and paralysis, the Sand Scorpion group lost their ability to resist completely. Yet the insect grass didn’t stop attacking. The slender vines directly stabbed into the Sand Scorpion’s brain, quickly eating up the central part of its brain.

“Tsk, tsk, being able to use the abilities of two creatures disregarding form, symbiotic species are really convenient.”

Seeing Insect Grass easily resolved the Sand Scorpion group, Bai Qi satisfyingly nodded his head. Being able to flexibly combine the abilities of the spirit-devouring bug and the dream vine, the combat talent of Insect Grass was not bad.

After killing all the Sand Scorpions, Insect Grass withdraws all the vines, returning back to its original multi-colored insect form. Though its spirit seemed much better than before.

The parasite could enhance its strength by devouring the enemy’s central nervous system, naturally, Insect Grass also inherited this ability.

“You did a good job.”

Seeing Insect Grass flying back with its wings spread out, Bai Qi gave a thumbs up. Apparently, Insect Grass enjoyed it, as its previous helplessness and dissatisfaction disappeared.

“Thank you for your praise, boss. I’ll work harder.”

“Good, the facing foes from now on will all be handed over to you.”

Bai Qi patted the stunned Insect Grass and turned away, while Gamma extended its tentacles and pulled the Sand Scorpion corpses to its side. It skillfully removed the shells and meat and sealed them inside its crystal body for storage.

Although the meat of the Sand Scorpion was poisonous, there wasn’t

much, and it could be cooked after minimal processing. It had a really good texture.

After that, while Insect Grass was making a face, it paved the way in front. The level of the Ferocious Beasts encountered grew increasingly high, and so did the difficulty of the battle. In fact, when the insect grass encountered a Four-Stage Lord Giant Snake, it almost died by the snake’s kiss.

Luckily, using the robust puncture capability of the spirit-devouring bug, Insect Grass forcefully bit through the enemy’s body from within and replenished itself in the process.

Finally, when they approached the base of the tower, there was a diamond sphere around about ten meters in diameter behind Gamma, which was filled with the flesh of Ferocious Beasts killed by insect grass along the way.

“Much smoother than I imagined. After all, it’s an Inheritance Secret Realm. It’s not too dangerous.”

Seeing the towering tower in front of him, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction and began looking for the entrance to the tower.

Huh?

（Why do I suddenly feel a chill on my back?）

Beta shivered suddenly, and Alpha also entered combat mode. Bai Qi sensed something wrong – the sand beneath their feet began to shake violently, with walls of dirt rising from the desert blocking their path.

At the same time, two giant shadows emerged from the sand behind them. The cold aura made Bai Qi unconsciously shrink his neck.

Finally, when the earth walls stopped rising, Bai Qi saw the shapes of the two shadows – two big snakes, one black and one white.

These two snakes were similar – apart from their different colors, they were almost identical. Upon detecting the aura of Bai Qi and company, the Black and White twin snakes began swimming towards them.

“I really was overthinking…”

Bai Qi smacked his lips, observing the Black and White twin snakes flexibly slither over the earth walls and said, “But, at last, we got two fierce-looking fellows.”

Appearing at this moment, the Black and White twin snakes were undoubtedly the guardians of the Sky-reaching Tower, and the twin-level would undoubtedly not be low.

Consequently, the levels of the materials on their body wouldn’t be low, either.

“Little ones, the resources for your second round of enhancement are here!”
