The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 31 Velvet Fire Scorpion
When the sound came, Su Yan immediately hid his body and hid in the bushes.

From the gap between the moss and the rock wall, a scorpion-like strange insect with red fiery hair crawled out.

It is red all over, has a pair of claws, a slender tail hook, and a body like a segmented insect, about the length of a palm.

'Velvet Fire Scorpion'

Su Yan recognized the strange insect at a glance, and became alert, holding his breath and watching it carefully.

The velvet fire scorpion crawled out from the gap, looked around, moved its two claws and tail hook slightly, and seeing that there was no movement, it crawled and quickly moved towards Danzhi.

Although it was not big, it was very fast and arrived in front of Danzhi in the blink of an eye.

The claws opened and clamped, breaking off a large piece of Danzhi and stuffing it into its mouth.

It only took three or two moves to eat up all of Danzhi.

"No wonder Uncle Guo Yun was injured in the arm by this insect when he was trying to pick Danzhi. This insect feeds on medicinal herbs and flesh. This is entering its territory."

Su Yan looked at the velvet fire scorpion and frowned slightly when he saw that it was still not far from the crevice.

'That won't do.'

Although he had prepared a wire fishing net, if he attacked from such a distance, there was a chance that the velvet fire scorpion would hide in the cracks of the rocks, and he would be left with nothing.

Moreover, this velvet fire scorpion insect doesn't seem to be weak.

His eyes flickered and he immediately had an idea.

An order was conveyed to the Yinshui Centipede.

The Yin Water Centipede in the bushes immediately moved, rustling and pulling out the weeds to make a sound, and climbed onto a mossy rock opposite the Velvet Fire Scorpion.

The velvet fire scorpion was startled and almost retreated, but suddenly saw that it was a strange insect. It immediately crawled up, raised its claws and tail hooks, and looked very ferocious.

If it were any other wild beast, the velvet fire scorpion might retreat.

But how can we tolerate such an invasion of territory?

The Yin Water Centipede shook its tentacles, raised its body, and made a hissing sound.

The velvet fire scorpion pointed its tail hook and sprayed out a red mist, heading straight for the Yinshui centipede.

Although the fog was not large in range, its speed was extremely fast and it arrived in front of the Yinshui Centipede in the blink of an eye.

"Zizi"

The scorching fire poison mist immediately burned the Yinshui centipede's shell.

The Yinshui Centipede became extremely ferocious after this attack, and pounced on the Velvet Fire Scorpion Insect in the poisonous mist of fire.

Although the poisonous fog was powerful and left the Yinshui centipede's shell with mottled marks, since it was poisonous fog, the fire poison was seven points less powerful to it.

It wanted to really invade the body, but it was powerless against the Yinshui Centipede.

The velvet fire scorpion failed to hit the target in one attack and had no time to do anything else before it was entangled with the Yinshui centipede.

Although the two wild beasts and strange insects were not big, their fight was like a fight between a dragon and a tiger, and was extremely fierce.

Coil the body and strangle vigorously.

One has claws like knives, and the other has a mouth like a sword. In the fierce fight, their shells were cracked and poisonous blood flowed out.

'The Velvet Fire Scorpion has also entered the rank!'

Su Yan was particularly surprised, but he was immediately delighted. If it could reach a higher level and be refined, it would be an extra help.

Seeing that the two insects were already fighting ferociously, Su Yan immediately gave an order.

The Yinshui centipede spit out venom like a black arrow, corroding the velvet fire scorpion insect's shell with a sizzling sound.

Then, he immediately changed direction and fled towards the open space.

At this time, the velvet fire scorpion's ferocity had been completely aroused. Seeing that the Yinshui centipede was defeated, it regarded the alien insect on the opposite side as its meal.

If you eat the Yinshui centipede, then you can also take a step further against the Velvet Fire Scorpion.

The two wild beasts and insects chased each other and soon left the rocky area where they were fighting and came to a flat mossy ground. "This is the opportunity."

Su Yan was quick-eyed and quick-handed. The moment the velvet fire scorpion approached, he immediately threw out the wire fishing net he had prepared for a long time.

The velvet fire scorpion was unable to escape and was caught in the wire fishing net.

It immediately struggled, but this was a fishing net. Although it was made of iron wire, it was also full of meshes.

This struggle immediately entangled its body more tightly, making it more difficult to move.

It raised its tail hook, wanting to spit out poisonous mist to burn the wire fishing net.

But Su Yan had already prepared for this move, and he hit it with the whistle stick in his hand, hitting the tail hook right in the middle.

This interrupted the velvet fire scorpion's attack, and it could only splash out a small amount of fire poison, which corroded many threads of the wire fishing net.

If it were an ordinary fishing net, it would have been burned to pieces by now.

Su Yan attacked, using his skillful strength, and in just a few moves, he subdued the velvet fire scorpion.

He reached out and grabbed it, and the moment he touched it, the information about the velvet fire scorpion appeared before him.

【Velvet Fire Scorpion】

[Likes dry and toxic places, swallows positive herbs, and likes to eat poisonous things. It refines them into fire poison and gathers them in the hook of its tail, which can be transformed into poisonous mist like flames...]

[Can be refined]

Su Yan had been waiting for this strange insect for a long time, and the beast blood essence had accumulated to a hundred kilograms, which was just right for this strange insect. He did not hesitate at all.

As soon as he thought about it, he began to refine the velvet fire scorpion insect.

The Ferocious Insect Cauldron trembled slightly, and the ferocious insect patterns on the cauldron looked like they were competing to devour each other.

The velvet fire scorpion felt the breath of the vicious insect cauldron and instantly collapsed to the ground, becoming even more powerless to resist.

It turned into a white light and sank into the Evil Insect Cauldron. Threads of blood and the power of the Evil Insect Cauldron invaded its body and refined it in an instant.

[First-level Insect Master 19/100]

[Velvet Fire Scorpion 1/200 (Growth Stage)]

Su Yan's eyes lit up and he was delighted. He had never thought that this velvet fire scorpion was already in the growth stage. Although it was slightly inferior to the Yinshui centipede, it saved him a lot of effort.

"The Velvet Fire Scorpion is in the same growth stage as me. It's probably at the Skin Refining Realm. Combined with the Yin Water Centipede, I'm afraid even a Muscle and Bone Realm warrior wouldn't be able to escape their poison. Finally, I have more power to protect myself."

He released the velvet fire scorpion and examined it carefully. It had just been attacked by him and the Yinshui centipede, leaving many scars on its shell and claws.

However, these injuries can be slowly recovered in the Fierce Insect Cauldron, so this is not a big problem.

Su Yan felt a little relieved. It was only half a month away from the end of the month. With the help of two insect essences every day and the help of tonics, he would soon be able to break through to the great success of skin refining. Then, even if it was a battle for the inner sect, he would not be afraid.

"Let's take over this Danzhi first, and then go down the mountain together."

Danzhi was eaten a lot by the velvet fire scorpion, but there was still some left. Even if he didn't eat it himself, he could give it to the velvet fire scorpion as food.

Su Yan put away the wire fishing net, took the backpack, and walked to the group of red flowers in front of the rock wall.

Many red hibiscus flowers grow on fallen tree trunks and mossy rock walls, like layers of large red flowers.

Su Yan stretched out his hand to pick them all and put them into the backpack. Suddenly, with the residual light of the moon, he saw a faint red light in the crevice of the stone.

If it weren't for the moonlight shining in and stirring up this faint light, even if you walked by a thousand times or passed by ten thousand times, you would not be able to see this light.

"what?!"

Su Yan picked up the machete, stuck it into the crack of the stone, and moved it slightly. Seeing that the rock around the crack was loose, he knew that he could pry it open.

So he exerted force with his hands and pried open the loose crack in the stone.

The reddish light was exposed in front of Su Yan, and it turned out to be a fleshy, fiery red Ganoderma lucidum.

"The leaves are like balls of meat, the red light is like flames, it's Fire Meat Ganoderma. No wonder this velvet fire scorpion insect didn't retreat even a step, it was actually guarding the precious plant."
