Chapter 339: Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest
Li Wei and the others arrived outside the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest.
The four of them stood in a hidden corner, observing the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest in the distance.
The Poison Scorpion Beasts had occupied a mountain peak, carving a huge cavern into its belly.
Li Wei gazed toward the cavern and could occasionally see Poison Scorpion Beasts crawling in and out.
Many young Poison Scorpion Beasts were also playing around the cavern entrance.
The Poison Scorpion Beasts were one of the most powerful Magic Beast species in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.
They had no natural enemies.
As a result, the young Poison Scorpion Beasts had a very relaxed upbringing.
They never had to worry about danger.
Under the intimidating presence of the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord, most Magic Beasts wouldn’t dare approach the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest.
The only thing that annoyed the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord was that every time it returned from hunting, it would find traces of humans.
Although the humans hadn’t caused any real damage, seeing strangers coming and going from its home was enough to irritate anyone.
KABOOM!
A bolt of thunder descended from the sky, smashing into the entrance of the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest.
The thunder instantly shattered an adult Poison Scorpion Beast.
The dissipating thunder transformed into countless electric serpents that slithered about, electrocuting many of the young Poison Scorpion Beasts nearby.
After discussing their battle plan, Li Wei and the others had decided that Bella would make a move to lure the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord out of the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest.
Then, from a concealed position, Li Wei would seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
A single, decisive blow!
Bella wantonly unleashed lightning, continuously attacking the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest.
The Poison Scorpion Beasts at the entrance hurriedly counterattacked.
They shot venomous stingers at Bella, who was in the air.
With a casual wave from Bella, a barrier of lightning appeared in the sky.
The moment the stingers hit the lightning barrier, they triggered a violent explosion that destroyed them.
This was Bella’s defensive technique.
Fighting offense with offense.
RUMBLE! BOOM! BOOM!
Bella displayed immense combat power, single-handedly crushing several Poison Scorpion Beasts with ease.
Each of her attacks was accompanied by the death of a Poison Scorpion Beast.
Her power was far greater than Evelyn’s.
The surviving young Poison Scorpion Beasts scrambled back into the nest in a panic.
RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE!
The commotion from the battle outside drew out a large number of Poison Scorpion Beasts.
The first Tier Five Poison Scorpion Beast appeared before Bella.
The Poison Scorpion Beast had traces of lightning burns on its body.
This wasn’t the first time it had fought Bella.
When old enemies meet, their blood boils.
Seeing that Bella dared to brazenly attack its nest, the enraged Poison Scorpion Beast launched an all-out assault.
It aimed its scorpion tail at Bella, gathering energy.
SWOOSH!
A deep green bolt of venomous energy pierced the sky, shooting toward Bella.
KABOOM!
Bella transformed into Lightning and zipped through the sky, dodging the Tier Five Poison Scorpion Beast’s attack.
Compared to Tier Four Poison Scorpion Beasts, Tier Five Poison Scorpion Beasts possessed much more powerful energy attacks.
An energy with highly venomous properties.
This energy could even corrode and poison a body in a state of Elementalization.
Even Bella didn’t dare to come into contact with the venomous energy lightly.
She attacked while dodging.
Seeing more and more Poison Scorpion Beasts appearing below, she felt the current scene was far from achieving her goal.
She needed to lure out the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord, not just its minions.
As the number of Poison Scorpion Beasts grew, so did the pressure she felt.
’If this keeps up, I might be forced to retreat before the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord even shows up,’ she thought.
At this thought, Bella decided to use her ultimate move.
’I have to make enough of a commotion to draw out the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.’
Bella flew high into the sky, stopping at the edge of the No-fly Zone.
She had been in the Peach Blossom Spring Realm for a long time.
She knew the altitude of the No-fly Zone better than anyone.
Any higher, and she would be in the No-fly Zone, where all Flying abilities would be nullified.
It was a forbidden area that not even birds could cross.
At this altitude, she could ignore the vast majority of the Poison Scorpion Beasts’ ranged attacks.
This gave Bella the time she needed to gather Power for a massive attack.
She unleashed all her Power.
RUMBLE!
Lightning cracked across the sky.
Immediately after, dark clouds rolled in.
The bright blue sky instantly turned into a somber, dark expanse.
RUMBLE!
Flashes of lightning flickered incessantly within the thick, black clouds, re-illuminating the dim world.
Li Wei looked up, feeling the terrifying fluctuation of Power above him.
"Such immense Power. This has probably surpassed the Tier Five level."
Kristiman looked up at the sky and nodded. "This is Bella’s Hundred Flowers Clan ability. She can borrow external Thunder Power to unleash might far beyond her own Level."
Lilith quietly gazed upward.
Evelyn lay unconscious on the Shadow Attendant’s back.
RUMBLE!
After a period of charging up,
Li Wei saw a flower of thunder emerge from the dark clouds.
A flower condensed from pure thunder.
The immense flower of thunder began its Fall toward the earth.
On the ground, countless Poison Scorpion Beasts sensed the mortal danger and grew agitated.
Some of the Poison Scorpion Beasts turned to flee, trying to hide inside the nest to evade the attack.
Others attacked the flower of thunder, attempting to interrupt Bella’s assault.
Just as the flower of thunder was about to strike the ground,
a figure appeared at the entrance of the Poisonous Scorpion Beast Nest.
It was the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord, its carapace a purplish-red color.
Bella saw that the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord had finally been forced out.
Joy surged within her.
Without a second thought, she slammed her ultimate move down on the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
An astonishing idea surfaced in her mind.
’This time, I can actually kill the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord!’
Previously, she never had the chance to use this move in front of the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord would never give her time to gather Power.
Bella felt she had a real chance to kill the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord.
She launched her attack without hesitation.
"Die!"
The thunder poured down, engulfing the figure of the Scorpion Lord.
Joy swelled in Bella’s heart. Seeing her attack hit the Scorpion Lord dead-on, she felt victory was certain.
’There’s no way the Scorpion Lord can withstand this blow!’
The next second, a dazzling purple light shot out from within the endless blue lightning.
The purple light instantly pierced Bella’s chest.
Bella’s expression froze. She felt her Power drain away, her control faltering.
She looked down at the large hole in her chest.
Fortunately, she was in her elemental form; otherwise, she would have been killed instantly.
Even so, she could feel a potent poison coursing through her, her strength greatly diminished.
Bella had been careless.
She had assumed the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord was severely wounded or even killed by her attack.
She hadn’t anticipated its counterattack at all.
She hadn’t had any time to dodge.
Bella’s figure descended rapidly as her Power waned.
She could no longer sustain the thunderclouds that filled the sky, and they began to dissipate.
As the lightning faded, the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s figure was revealed.
The surface of the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord’s carapace was charred and cracked.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
As the broken carapace shattered and fell away, it revealed a new layer of shell underneath.
Faced with Bella’s Peak attack, it was completely unscathed.
Seeing this, Kristiman’s face filled with shock.
"This is bad! The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord has advanced a tier!"
The Poison Scorpion Beast Lord had grown even stronger!
It had reached Tier Six Peak.
Each time the Poison Scorpion Beast Lord advanced a tier, it would molt its old carapace.
It didn’t discard the old shell but kept it as an outer layer, capable of blocking a single fatal blow.
