Chapter 213 -213: Just Breaking the Extreme

Shi Hao laughed, “Breakthrough Nine Extremes.”

The ninth step of Breaking the Extreme?

The three men immediately showed scorn, for they were all at the Soul Nurturing realm, and bringing along someone at the Breakthrough stage would definitely slow them down.

Looking at Liu Jingwen, her face was full of infatuation, clearly not concerned with whether Shi Hao would be a drag or not.

All three men wished they could kill Shi Hao, but who would dare do so in front of Liu Jingwen?

They could only… bear with it!

However, this place was too dangerous, how long could someone at Breakthrough Nine Extremes last?

All three men sneered.

Su Manman stayed out of it, her face full of interest as she watched the commotion.

After a brief rest, the six of them continued on their way.

Rustle, rustle, rustle, a faint sound reached their ears.

What’s that?

In just a moment, they saw a huge scorpion crawling over from the front.

A common scorpion was at most the size of a palm, but this one was a full ten feet long, with its venomous stinger raised high, cold light glowing from it, and its whole body a dark red color, very similar to lava.

This was a Fire Rock Scorpion.

Shi Hao immediately recalled relevant information from his memory. However, despite the frightening size of the scorpion, most were at the first or second step of Soul Nurturing cultivation, with few reaching the third step.

Even a Scorpion King hardly possessed the strength beyond the fifth step.

There was no helping it; the strength of a ferocious beast was limited by its bloodline, and they had a ceiling to their growth.

——Unless they could break free from the limitations of their bloodline, but in that case, the ferocious beast would no longer belong to its original species and would instead have created a new ferocious beast lineage.

“Shi Hao, you go.” One of the men maliciously egged on, although he didn’t know that it was a Fire Rock Scorpion, nor did he know its exact strength, but it was something that surely couldn’t be confronted by someone at the Breakthrough stage.

It was highly likely that Shi Hao would be killed if he went up.

“Alright!” Shi Hao nodded and stepped forward.

Liu Jingwen wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

Are you stupid? Just because they told you to go, you went? So naive.

Seeing Shi Hao approaching, the Fire Rock Scorpion immediately launched an attack, whoosh, its stinger thrust out with incredible speed towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao reached out his hand and clap, the stinger landed in his grasp.

With a little twist, he broke the stinger off and kept it for himself.

This was the most venomous part of the Fire Rock Scorpion but could be used in medicine, able to refine antidotes, even capable of neutralizing some toxins at the Self-Observation level.

Did they think he was stupid?

He was just casually collecting a scorpion stinger.

The Fire Rock Scorpion, having lost its most powerful weapon, suddenly became cowardly, turned, and fled, vanishing in an instant.

The three men were stunned, huh, this ferocious beast was way too weak, defeated by a Breakthrough Nine Extremes martial artist in a single blow.

Ah, this kid is just lucky.

Su Manman watched, not able to help a secret chuckle, how interesting, truly interesting.

The six people continued forward, but there were many Fire Rock Scorpions in this area; it was not long before they encountered another one.

Shi Hao was pushed forward again, and he easily killed the ferocious beast, obtaining another scorpion stinger.

In a row, he broke the stingers of over a dozen scorpions.

This made the three men secretly curse Shi Hao for his dog’s luck; the environment here was so harsh, yet the ferocious beasts were unexpectedly so easily defeated.

The cave was shockingly large, and they did not know which fork they had taken when they saw that the river of lava came to an abrupt halt, and here, there appeared numerous white eggs, densely packed together.

“This is bad, we’ve walked into a Scorpion Nest!” one of the men exclaimed in alarm.

These white eggs were the eggs laid by the scorpions.

“No problem, they’re just at the ‘Breaking the Extreme’ level.” Another man said.

“That’s true, but it’s still difficult to deal with if there are too many of them. Let’s retreat.”

“Alright, let’s retreat.”

Just as they were about to back out, they saw a huge Giant Flame Shore Scorpion appear, its body length reaching a massive twenty feet, its stinger held high, and its two large pincers imposingly large.

“Is this… a Scorpion King or a Scorpion Queen?”

“It looks terrifying!”

“I’ll go!” Shi Hao shouted and charged forward.

They were shocked to find that Shi Hao, within moments of rushing up, broke off the giant scorpion’s stinger. The creature was so frightened that it scattered its soul and fled in a panic.

All four were dumbfounded. Was this for real?

“At best, it’s a small ferocious beast at the ‘Breakthrough Eight Extremes’ level.” Shi Hao returned with a smile on his face.

Is this still within the realm of ‘Breaking the Extreme’?

Liu Jingwen and the others exchanged glances. So, this ferocious beast was only at the ‘Breakthrough Eight Extremes’ level?

Normally, for the same type of ferocious beast, the larger the size, the more powerful it is. So if this one, clearly a Scorpion King or Queen, was only at ‘Breakthrough Eight Extremes’, then the average strength of the giant scorpion tribe should only be around ‘Breakthrough Six Extremes’ or ‘Breakthrough Seven Extremes’.

With that thought, they naturally felt a surge of confidence, their spirits soaring.

No matter how many came at them, they could easily deal with them.

“Let’s go!”

They exited the Scorpion Nest and chose a different direction to continue forward.

In the cave, there were many branching paths, complex and labyrinthine.

“Having fun?” Su Manman approached Shi Hao and whispered.

Shi Hao chuckled: “Aren’t you also quite excited watching it?”

Su Manman gave Shi Hao a look. Despite his ordinary appearance, he had an indescribable charm that caused Shi Hao’s heart to skip a beat.

“Weird!” Shi Hao touched his chest. This feeling was truly odd; he had never experienced anything like it before.

After a while, their path was blocked by a river of lava. However, there were steppingstones that had appeared in the river, creating a pathway across.

But were these steppingstones stable?

It would be disastrous if they collapsed under someone’s weight and caused a fall into such lava, leading to certain death.

“Shi kid, you go and scout the way.” A man said to Shi Hao.

Having taken the ‘Imperial Fire Pill’, Shi Hao could actually swim in the lava. But since this wasn’t a Fire Rock Scorpion that could offer him any benefits, he felt too lazy to go.

“No way.” He shook his head.

The three men were all taken aback. Previously, Shi Hao had acted like a fool, charging forward whenever he was told to fight, never knowing to refuse. Now he suddenly hardened up and refused, which they were not used to.

Shh shh shh!

Just at that moment, another Fire Rock Scorpion appeared on the opposite side of the lava river.

This scorpion, having discovered them, immediately accelerated, raising its stinger high and charging toward Shi Hao and the others.

Emboldened by Shi Hao’s previous example, the three men stepped forward confidently, eager to impress in front of Liu Jingwen.

The giant scorpion charged, raising its stinger to strike one of the men.

That man, following Shi Hao’s lead, reached out to grab the giant scorpion’s stinger.

Puff!

The stinger moved as fast as lightning, and the man couldn’t grab it in time. His chest was pierced clean through.

“Ah!” The man screamed, and the giant scorpion flung him into the air, continuing to stab at the second man.
