“Are you worried that we’ll steal your golden scorpion?” Tang Yan didn’t wait for them to speak before he said, “Relax, we won’t snatch it from you. Didn’t we already tell you earlier that we wouldn’t fight you guys for it?”
“That’s not what we meant. We just didn’t want to delay your journey and hold you back from killing the golden scorpions.”
“You guys can relax, we won’t be delayed.” He Feng said, “We don’t need any golden scorpions at all, so it’s fine even if we don’t have a single one.”
“You don’t need any golden scorpions?”
“Yeah, don’t you guys know?” He Feng was puzzled when he saw how surprised Fatty Qu and the others looked.
“Know what?”
“Ranks one to fifty don’t have to participate in the next year’s qualifying round. They pass immediately.” Tang Yan explained.
“Didn’t they say the top thousand people?”
“Yeah, the top thousand people, but the first fifty aren’t included.” Tang Yan said, “That’s why later on, there will be one thousand five hundred participants.”
Everyone was speechless. There was actually a rule like that.
“Then what are you guys still doing here?” Fatty Qu asked.
“Although we don’t have to come, in order to ensure fairness, we will still compete with everyone else.” Tang Yan said, “That’s why you don’t have to worry. We won’t snatch your spoils of war.”
“…”
It seemed that they had hardened their hearts to come along with them.
Sima You Yue was inside her tent and didn’t say anything as she listened to what was happening outside.
She put on her special gloves and took a sword that was held beside her. She cut open the golden scorpion’s tail and looked for its poison sac. She cut away all the meat inside before placing the poison into a jade bowl.
A golden scorpion was about twenty to thirty centimetres, and its tail was twenty centimetres. However, it only had a few drops of venom.
However, it was just these few drops of venom that could kill over a hundred divine king ranked.
She took out a basin and placed medicinal powder in before taking a jade stick and dripping a drop of golden scorpion venom on it. She used it to stir the water, and it immediately started boiling.
“What potent venom!” She said it softly, but she was incomparably surprised.
It was such a potent venom that if they got stung, it would not bode well for those students. Why did the sect like the students undertake such a dangerous mission?”
“Could it be that the instructors do not know?” She frowned.
Thinking about how dire the situation was, she placed the venom down and went outside.
“Done?” Sima You Lin asked when he saw her come out.
Sima You Yue shook her head, saying, “I found something and want to discuss it with you all.”
“What?” Sima You Ming asked.
Sima You Yue looked at Mo Bin and his gang, asking, “Are you familiar with the golden scorpion?”
“Encountered them before, but we’re not that familiar. Why?” Mo Bin saw her solemn expression and asked.
“Encountered them before? Then have you seen the effects of their poison before?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Of course. We have come here before to do a mission for the sect, which was precisely to collect some golden scorpions. However, that was a hundred years ago.” Mo Bin said.
“Then you should come in here with me.” Sima You Yue turned around to lead the way.
Mo Bin and the others exchanged glances before following her in. It was a good thing that her tent was big, and it wasn’t squeezy even though there were more than ten of them inside.
