Chapter 2427: Chapter 2426: Seizing the Inner Core
Ling Feng hadn’t yet seen how big the Sand Scorpion was, but it was clearly not small.
Playing with its own inner core, this Sand Scorpion’s cultivation must be very deep, it’s possible that even Little Hei and Jin Gang wouldn’t be able to handle it.
But Ling Feng wasn’t worried because he still had divine weapons in hand, three weapons with a Martial Soul. Can’t even kill a scorpion with that?
Just as Ling Feng finished speaking, Feiyan’s face peeked out from the tent and said, "Wait for me."
"Don’t rush, put on your clothes first. I’ll wait for you."
Ling Feng initially wanted her to continue resting and not follow him.
But seeing the resolute look in Feiyan’s eyes, he didn’t voice this and instead changed his mind.
Soon, Feiyan changed into a tight white dress and stepped out of the tent.
Seeing the scene beyond the desert, she was stunned for a moment: "Oh my, what is that?"
"A very powerful Sand Scorpion."
Ling Feng chuckled, ordered Little Fei to enlarge its body, then jumped onto its back with Feiyan: "Let’s go take a look first. Such opportunities are quite rare!"
That Sand Scorpion couldn’t possibly play with its inner core every day. Today is a full moon, maybe that’s why it appeared.
Little Fei flapped its wings and flew to the place emitting red light, quickly approaching an area with heavy sandstorms.
It immediately rose higher into the sky to avoid the sandstorm.
Hundreds of meters up in the calm, windless sky, Little Fei continued flying forward and soon saw a giant red sphere rising and falling on the desert.
At a distance, the object didn’t seem large, like a basketball, but as Little Fei got closer, it grew enormous.
By the time they were just a thousand meters away, the red sphere had become a massive object as big as a car.
"Wow, that’s its inner core. How big must the Sand Scorpion be?"
Ling Feng widened his eyes in shock.
"Most of its body is underground. According to the reports from the little insects I control, its size matches that of the Ling Yun." Little Fei said.
"What?"
Ling Feng was dumbfounded.
Jin Gang was already the largest being in his possession, but when it entered the Ling Yun, it seemed small and insignificant.
The comparison between them is like that of a toy car model and a real car.
And that Sand Scorpion could grow as big as the Ling Yun?
What has it been eating to grow that big?
Ling Feng smiled bitterly in astonishment: "No wonder its inner core is so large."
"Yes, Master, but this thing is still very dangerous." Little Fei said.
Ling Feng pondered: "Dangerous or not, since I’m here, I can’t go back empty-handed. Let’s see how strong it is first!"
He then summoned the Ghost Dragon and ordered: "Rush over, grab that inner core, then ascend high!"
"Understood, Master."
The Ghost Dragon knew the Sand Scorpion was very big and powerful, but since Ling Feng gave the order, it agreed without hesitation, its body instantly enlarged, and dashed forward!
The huge black body soared through the air, and in an instant, it was in front of the red sphere. The Ghost Dragon opened its mouth to bite the inner core but found its mouth wasn’t big enough!
With no other choice, it had to coil its tail around the inner core and immediately soared into the sky!
At this moment, the air suddenly seemed to freeze.
Then, Ling Feng and Feiyan saw the sand layer below suddenly stir, followed by a black bulge emerging from the sand!
One, two, three bulges.
More and more bulges appeared, and Ling Feng realized they were segments of the Scorpion’s back!
Each bulge was like a small mountain, and merely the gaps between two bulges gave the feeling of being in a mountain canyon.
Exchanging a look, Ling Feng and Feiyan were both stunned!
This was too big!
One could play soccer on just one of these bulges!
And there were dozens of bulges on the Scorpion’s back.
"A giant beast, truly a giant beast!"
Ling Feng exclaimed in shock, unable to hold back a swear word.
Soon, the enormous body of the Sand Scorpion fully emerged from the ground, followed by a scorpion tail as colossal as a mountain range shooting straight into the sky!
"Ghost Dragon, ascend!"
Seeing the scorpion tail hundreds of meters long, Ling Feng shouted!
The Ghost Dragon wasn’t foolish; seeing the glistening scorpion tail stinger, it immediately soared higher!
Unexpectedly, the Sand Scorpion had evolved to such a degree that it no longer needed to inject venom by piercing its enemy’s body to attack.
The scorpion tail stood erect like a skyscraper, and the stinger at the tip suddenly emitted a burst of red light!
Then a beam of red light shot straight at the Ghost Dragon!
"Sizzle!"
A loud noise followed, the Ghost Dragon trembled, and the red inner core held by its tail dropped instantly.
"Little Fei, retreat with Feiyan!"
Ling Feng said, then immediately flew towards the falling inner core!
Before it could hit the ground, Ling Feng reached it, touched it with one hand, and instantly stored it in his Space Ring!
Almost simultaneously, Ling Feng felt a flash of red light beside him, and with a cry of alarm, he plummeted straight down!
The red light had grazed above his head.
Fortunately, Ling Feng wasn’t hit.
But it was terrifying enough, cold sweat ran down Ling Feng’s face.
The Ghost Dragon had been hit earlier, sustaining injuries, and was now flying thousands of meters away to heal.
With such a large form, it was injured when hit; Ling Feng thought if he were struck by the red light, his body might be torn to pieces instantly.
Ling Feng knew the situation was urgent and also knew the Sand Scorpion had a Beast Soul, so before it could attack, he asserted solemnly: "I have your inner core. If you dare attack, I will destroy it completely!"
The scorpion tail was still charging with energy to attack, but after hearing this, the red light vanished immediately.
Then, the hundreds of meters long scorpion tail slumped down.
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
A deep, booming voice came forth.
"I don’t want anything. If you want to talk, we can talk. But if you wish to attack forcibly, I’m sorry, I can only destroy the inner core!" Ling Feng shouted loudly.
He knew he had already grasped the Sand Scorpion’s weakness. Although it had Spiritual Wisdom, it was still an insect and couldn’t outthink a human.
Indeed, after his words, the Sand Scorpion paused for a moment, then said: "I can talk with you, but you must promise not to destroy the inner core!"
"Of course, you’ve worked hard to cultivate such a large inner core. I won’t destroy it easily unless you disobey!"
Ling Feng chuckled, descending straight down, standing right on the Sand Scorpion’s back.
