The horse whip hit the horse, and the horse hooves made a "tick, tick" sound on the gravel road. Lin Xiao sat in the carriage with his eyes closed to rest.
"Master, there is a small town ahead. Do you want to take a rest?"
Hearing the driver's voice, Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes, pulled open the curtain and looked ahead. It was a very ordinary border town.
He nodded and said,
"You can leave when we get to town."
Across the town is the alien territory. The driver is just an ordinary man with a little bit of martial arts skills, and it would be easy for him to die if he went there.
The driver agreed and drove the carriage into the town.
"Wanted: The deserted wizard apprentice Leng Lan!"
Lin Xiao took a quick glance at the bounty canvas posted on the wall at the entrance of the town and snorted coldly without saying anything.
Half a day later, a man in black robe left the town and disappeared into the wilderness.
The sky was as dark as ever, with thick clouds hanging low. Where the northern part of the Wizard Empire met the alien race was a vast expanse of wasteland.
According to the information Lin Xiao had seen in the Morning Star Tower before, this place was part of the empire a long time ago and was a very fertile place. Later, humans and alien races fought a war for this area. In the later Battle of Azshara, the Wizard Emperor personally led the army and fought a fierce battle with the four alien leaders here.
The terrible witchcraft that destroyed the world destroyed this land and directly changed the rules of this land, making this land gradually become barren. It has changed from the rich granary of the empire to the uninhabited desert it is today. Even alien races are unwilling to stay in this place.
It is said that if you travel through this land, you can see ancient abandoned towns and cultivated fields, as well as the remaining energy and influence of ancient destructive and terrible witchcraft.
There were even wizards who discovered twisted space and space cracks leading to other worlds in the center of the battlefield. From time to time, they would see some alien creatures coming through the space cracks, including some terrifying ones.
Fortunately, those scary giants usually stayed in the center of the battlefield and rarely came outside. As long as he didn't barge in, he wouldn't encounter any danger with his current strength.
Half a month later, Lin Xiao entered the deepest part of the wasteland and had crossed the battlefield area inside the wasteland. The influence of the chaos witchcraft had gradually decreased, and occasionally one could see some alien races who had gone out to the wasteland to train.
There are many kinds of alien races in this world, and most of them can be found in other worlds.
For example, orcs, harpies, orcs, orcs and so on.
In fact, orcs are a very large category, and any non-human race that is somewhat similar to animals can be included in it. Therefore, the race called orcs in the wizarding world may have nothing to do with orcs in other worlds.
Like humans, the alien races also have an extremely rare high-end system of wizards. They can also give birth to wizards or a supernatural system similar to that of wizards.
However, powerful alien wizards are rarely seen among the aliens living on the edge of the wilderness. Lin Xiao does not enter the heartland of the alien race, so he is almost invincible in this area. He specializes in hunting alien orcs in the wilderness, collecting their souls and collecting some interest.
The alien race that destroyed the family was a small race called the Half-Scorpion People, but each individual was extremely powerful. They looked like the Scorpion Emperor, with a human upper body and a scorpion lower body. Their average strength was much stronger than that of humans.
It is said that the Half-Scorpion people are not native to this world, but alien creatures, an alien race that escaped from the space cracks in the twisted battlefield.
Their habitat has moved to an oasis somewhere in the wilderness. After years of survival in this world, they have long since become a native race, but they still have a certain connection with the distorted space in the center of the battlefield.
Lin Xiao planned to first find a way to slowly kill the Half-Scorpion Man for revenge, and by the way harvest his soul to complete the first phase of the transaction with the terrifying existence in the strange valley, and strengthen his own strength, achieving three goals in one fell swoop.
Once the first phase of the transaction is completed, he will be able to get rid of this terrifying and strange existence and no longer be controlled by others.
Lin Xiao's intuition strongly told him that he must get rid of that terrible existence as soon as possible and not indulge in it, otherwise he would end up in a miserable situation in the future.
"call!"
A stone as big as a human head flew dozens of meters across and hit a tall figure. The figure did not move at all and swung his sword continuously, cutting off the double-pincer scorpion tail of a half-scorpion man in front of him who was more than two meters tall. He stretched out his left hand and pressed the half-scorpion man's forehead. His five fingers were deeply embedded in the hard skull. As his finger bones shook, ripples slightly appeared around his palm, contracting inwards. A transparent shadow of the half-scorpion man was forcibly pulled out, and the corpse fell limp to the ground.
The remaining half-scorpions became even more enraged after seeing this scene. They threw javelins one after another and even sprayed black poisonous needles from their tails.
But the attacks were bounced off when they landed on the man in black robe. Even the thick crossbow arrows shot by the tribe's warriors could not hurt the target. The half-scorpion people who were pressed down by the man in black robe had their souls extracted and died.
The half-scorpion people were angry and a little scared, but no one fled. Instead, they continued to fight bravely.
After a few minutes, dozens of Half-Scorpion people had been killed, but a tall Half-Scorpion priest in the center of the tribe had finished casting the spell. A huge black door was opened, and an angry roar was heard from it. The light door was torn apart, and a huge head with a diameter of nearly two meters emerged from it.
No, not just one, but two heads.
As the giant roared continuously, the powerful force pushed open the black door, and out crawled a two-headed scorpion man over 15 meters tall with six scorpion arms and a scorpion tail more than ten meters long.
This thing looked extremely hideous, with two heads that were sloppily shaped as if they had been squeezed through a door. Its body was covered with a thick black shell like armor. There were many skull-like things growing on its back with many holes on them. Black air spewed out of the holes for several feet in length, and the bound soul could be vaguely seen.
Under the two-headed scorpion giant's open lips were black and yellow uneven teeth, and sticky yellow mouth water flowed out of the mouth, emitting a foul odor.
This thing is extremely brutal. As soon as it comes out, it grabs the scorpion man nearby and stuffs it into its mouth. The hard scorpion shell is chewed with a crackling sound, and red blood and green internal organs mixed together and flow out from the corners of its mouth. It looks as disgusting as it can be.
The aura emitted by this two-headed scorpion giant is extremely powerful, even more terrifying than the crystal king snake that I had seen before. It feels like a terrifying existence that has entered the third level, but it also feels a little bit short.
The sensible thing to do is to leave immediately. After all, Lin Xiao is only a first-level wizard now. Even though he has activated the blood of the ancient Titan god, he has not yet entered the third level. It is a bit risky to fight with this big guy.
However, the huge soul accumulated in the scorpion giant firmly attracted his attention.
This thing probably has the talent of binding souls. The black smoke spewing out of the skull holes on its thick shell is all polluted soul power.
From what he sensed, beneath the polluted dark soul power, there were densely packed imprisoned souls, and the number was quite large.
He is short of souls right now, and this thing contains so many souls, it is simply a treasure.
So Lin Xiao was immediately tempted and decided to take a risk to see if he could kill this guy.
Before taking action, he sped up the killing of ordinary half-scorpion people.
They had been holding back before, but now they had unleashed their full strength. These Half-Scorpion people, who were slightly stronger than ordinary people, were no match for them. He quickly killed them one by one with one sword.
But the two-headed scorpion giant did not stop him. It didn't care about the life or death of its own kind at all. Even when Lin Xiao was killing them, it was still devouring the corpses of its own kind on the ground, as if it hadn't eaten for a long time.
Not until the remaining half-scorpion people could no longer bear it and collapsed did Lin Xiao stop to observe the two-headed scorpion giant that was still eating voraciously.
Seeing that he had no intention of taking action, he stepped aside and prepared to take a rest to recover his physical and mental strength.
However, his retreat instantly attracted the attention of the two-headed scorpion giant. One of the heads suddenly raised his head and looked at him and shouted:
"You're Tem's food!"
He stuffed the half-scorpion corpse in his hand into his mouth, spread his legs and rushed over with a rumble.
Obviously, it had been paying attention to Lin Xiao and treated him as food, but it was busy eating snacks and didn't take action before. Now it thought he was going to run away and wanted to attack him immediately.
Lin Xiao calmly cast a Moon Shadow spell on himself to increase his speed and dodge ability, and then tried to recite a sentence to quickly cast the Confinement Spell.
The two-headed giant scorpion man suddenly stopped and staggered, almost falling down. The left side of his face was extremely angry. The giant tail more than ten meters long behind him was raised, and a faint light flashed at the tail. Lin Xiao quickly moved sideways more than ten meters. The place where he just stood was like being hit by an air cannon, and a large pit of about two meters was blown out. The edge of the pit was covered with a layer of green, and the broken soil was melted to the bottom of the pit to accumulate a layer of black-green liquid. This attack was not only powerful but also highly toxic.
"Hiss."
He pointed again, and an invisible air blade flashed and disappeared. With a bang, a gap appeared on the black shell on the scorpion giant's forehead.
"efficient?"
The carapace defense was lower than he had imagined.
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he quickly cast the Air Blade Technique to attack the two-headed scorpion giant.
The so-called sentence segmentation means that the spell can be cast by chanting only two key words in the spell. Generally, only formal wizards can master this. Wizard apprentices cannot do it, except for those geniuses.
One Qi Blade Technique consumes 1.5 points of mental power and 2.1 points of mana. Lin Xiao now has nearly 60 points of mental power and more than 70 points of mana, and can use it more than 30 times in one breath.
However, looking at the damage of this spell, he felt that even if he hit it thirty times, he would not be able to kill the two-headed scorpion giant. This thing was simply too big and its vitality was too strong.
But he didn't expect to kill with this, just use it to weaken it first.
Next, relying on his speed and agility which was far faster than that of the two-headed scorpion giant, he kept flying a kite and bombarded the two-headed scorpion giant's tail with air blade techniques from a long distance, cutting the shell on the surface of the scorpion tail piece by piece until the flesh and blood appeared.
However, when he was about to cut the scorpion's tail shell in half, the two-headed scorpion giant roared, and the black soul power gushed out from his body, covering his entire body and enveloping it.
After a while, the black gas disappeared and all the injuries on the two-headed scorpion giant were healed.
