Chapter 366: False God's Tribulation
Chapter 366: False God's Tribulation
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Besides, time waits for no one. If he cannot find a way to improve his cultivation here, he may have to stay in this Purgatory Star for hundreds of years. By then, it would be too late.
Having made up his mind, Qin Feng did not dare to be careless. He scanned the surroundings with all his mind, and while walking, he was thinking about the escape route in case of danger.
The more the abnormal fluctuations became clearer, the more nervous Qin Feng became. He tiptoed and finally saw the source of the movement.
"what!"
When he saw what was happening in front of him, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end and he felt a panic in his heart.
By now, Qin Feng had seen everything, but the scene before him really frightened him.
He quickly raised his hand and threw out the battle card, wrapping himself up tightly, and then dared to take a closer look:
This is a huge red cave. Thousands of giant molten scorpions of different sizes are squeezed inside the cave, filling it tightly. Their hard bodies rub against each other, making a rustling sound.
All of these giant scorpions were facing one place, which was the only remaining platform in the center of the cave that looked like it had been mined. The corpses of creatures of all races on the platform were piled together to form a small hill. These corpses were being pulled by several giant scorpions and thrown into a flaming hole in the center of the platform.
Every time one was thrown in, the flames in the hole would blast outward, and the scorpions would shake and rub against each other accordingly.
Next to the cave, two extremely conspicuous giant molten scorpions were wriggling their bodies from time to time, sucking and devouring the flames that were coming up.
These two Molten Scorpions were of average size, less than two meters long, but the color of their bodies was completely different from that of the other Molten Scorpions. They seemed to be condensed from scarlet flames, and their entire bodies were swaying like flames.
These are all normal. In fact, what frightened Qin Feng was the aura emitted by the two giant molten fire scorpions. It was very similar to the aura that Master Zhuang Zhou possessed:
"False gods? Two false gods? No, these two should be preparing to enter a state of trance!"
I heard from Jinjiao back then that it was not uncommon for people from other major planets to enter a trance and ascend to heaven, so it is not impossible for them to be in such a trance like them!
But is this a ritual? Or is it a sprint for the final trance? Qin Feng didn't understand this.
However, it was indeed too heartbreaking to see creatures, including the fire elves, being thrown into the fire cave one by one.
"boom!"
At this moment, the two giant molten scorpions trembled, and two circles of crimson light spread out from their bodies, sweeping across the cave and dissipating outside.
Tens of thousands of giant scorpions in the cave raised their heads and inhaled the crimson mist brought by the light circle.
"Ok?"
Qin Feng looked at it strangely. When the light circle expanded, a gap appeared in Qin Feng's formation, and then it closed again.
Looking at the wisp of crimson mist drifting in, Qin Feng tried to inhale it into his skin.
Qin Feng was overjoyed as he activated his cultivation. "Sure enough, this crimson mist is full of divinity. Although it is just a wisp, Qin Feng still feels that it has an effect on improving his cultivation. Although it is so tiny that it cannot be detected, it has an effect after all."
"But absorbing it this way isn't a solution, is it?"
Even though he was secretly happy, it was impossible to do anything in this situation. The giant scorpions below could easily trample him to death in minutes.
Wait! Look for opportunities!
"Ok?"
At this moment, two subtle fluctuations appeared simultaneously in two places not far away. Qin Feng was stunned and couldn't help but chuckled:
“Hehehe! There are others who came to peek like me, but I don’t know what these two are up to! This is going to be quite exciting!”
The formation concealed Qin Feng's breath without any leakage, but with his super strong five senses, he still discovered the two tiny fluctuations in two directions.
As the small pile of dead creatures disappeared completely, only the two flaming giant scorpions were left standing there motionless on the stage, and the densely packed giant scorpions below also stopped wriggling, and one could only see the huge scorpion pincers held high above their heads swaying slightly back and forth.
They were waiting, and the two hidden guys were also waiting. Qin Feng could only stare at them, not daring to make any move.
This wait lasted for a long time. Qin Feng estimated that four or five days had passed, and finally:
The two giant fire scorpions on the middle platform were suddenly enveloped by scarlet flames. With the appearance of the flames, dark red clouds appeared out of thin air on the top of the cave, becoming thicker and thicker until they completely submerged the top of the cave.
The scene was very much like dark clouds pressing down on the sky before a heavy rain, but these oppressive clouds were crimson in color and began to roll. Then red lightning began to appear in the red clouds, emitting bursts of deafening roars.
"Oh! This should be what they call the divine calamity!"
There are tribulations in becoming a saint. Qin Feng experienced his tribulation just when he stepped out of the Soul-Devouring Cave.
"Divine Tribulation? See what's different!"
When the red cloud appeared, the nearly ten thousand giant scorpions below suddenly became agitated, as if they were extremely frightened, but not one of them left.
The rolling red cloud pressed lower and lower, and the lightning inside became more and more frequent. Finally, with a flash of red light, a red lightning as thick as a water tank struck down from the red cloud, hitting the back of a giant flaming scorpion on the platform:
"Boom Kaka!"
The noise was so loud that the sky collapsed and the earth shook in an instant.
Qin Feng shook it a few times. He wanted to see if the scorpion could withstand it, but it seemed to be fine.
When the lightning struck, for some unknown reason, it spread through its body to all directions. The closest giant scorpion took most of it, and the rest was dispersed and absorbed by the densely packed giant molten scorpions below.
"Oh, I see!"
Qin Feng probably understood why so many scorpions were staying here at the same time. It turned out that they were helping the person who had entered a state of trance to resist the thunder of the divine calamity!
Two breaths later, another bolt of lightning struck, this time hitting another giant fire scorpion, which was resolved by them in the same way!
Although it was dissolved, the two giant fire scorpions could clearly feel that the aura they emitted had weakened a bit.
Then several more thunders with flames struck down, and they were all resolved by the same method.
However, the aura of the two fire scorpions had become much weaker. At the same time, the densely packed giant scorpions below were also infected and became confused.
"Oh! One will be weak during the Tribulation Crossing Stage, no wonder someone covets it. Those two are so calm, they must be here with ill intentions. Hehe! Let's find a chance to take advantage of it!"
What was the leak? What was the use? Qin Feng had no idea. He just watched these giant scorpions use the corpses of living creatures to get into a trance, and he had already developed a dislike for these molten fire giant scorpions!
"Hey! Stop it! It doesn't look like it."
The beams of lightning stopped, but the two giant fire scorpions did not move at all. Even the unlucky guys below who were struck by lightning were trembling, but none of them left.
Sure enough, what happened next was not called a lightning strike, it was just like a thunderstorm.
I saw that in the huge red cloud above my head, there were already dots of lightning, which seemed to be brewing and suddenly burst out:
Hundreds of lightning bolts as thick as water tanks were released at once and suddenly struck down, like a lightning net, overwhelming the two giant flaming scorpions.
“Boom, boom, click, click, click…”
Oh my god? It's the end of the world!
