Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

Ma Si didn't even look back, his tone was full of disdain:

"What's the problem? It's a sunny day, those scorpions must be hiding in their burrows!

Besides, we were just going to the toilet, how far could we go? Could one or two small scorpions scare a little girl like that?

He thought to himself that it would be great if a few poisonous scorpions could sting Shen Qingge, so as to dampen the arrogance of that little girl.

Niu Ergou noticed Ma Si's impatience and didn't dare to say anything more for fear of angering him.

Zhao Du on the side seemed particularly sneaky, his eyes rolling around like a cunning mouse, and he would secretly glance at the officials from time to time.

Then he encouraged everyone to go deeper into the woods, saying, "There is a woman here, so we should avoid her."

On the other side, Shen Qingge, feeling the scorching sun, found a shade under a tree to take shelter.

She thought of Zhao Du's strange reaction just now, and had a bad feeling in her heart, as if something was going to happen.

However, she looked around and found nothing here except a barren hillside. She really couldn't guess Zhao Du's purpose for a moment.

But he is not friendly, so we must be on guard!

She suddenly had an idea and flashed into the jade pendant space, using her spiritual sense to carefully observe everything around her.

Soon, she discovered that where the scented oil had been scattered, a group of yellow-brown scorpions had gathered. These scorpions were huge, each as long as a palm, and their head armor was covered with dense granular protrusions.

Shen Qingge calmed himself down and roughly counted the number of scorpions. There were actually more than twenty or thirty of them!

She was full of doubts. Don't scorpions like to appear in cool and humid places? Why are there so many of them here?

Could it be that the fragrant oil was causing the trouble?

At this moment, there were bursts of subtle but clearly audible "rustling" sounds coming from all around.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Shen Qingge was surprised to find that more scorpions were pouring out of the cave not far away.

These scorpions spread rapidly like a tide, and their numbers were so large that it was creepy.

But for some reason, when her eyes fell on the scorpions, she didn't feel fear, but instead an indescribable sense of intimacy, which attracted her to touch them and get close to them like a magnet.

This strange feeling surged into her heart like a tide, prompting her to leap out of the space without hesitation, and in a flash she arrived at the gathering place of the scorpions.

Almost at the same moment, these scorpions discovered her and immediately took an attacking posture: their extremely sharp pincers were wide open; their scorpion tails were raised high, like a taut bowstring; and the poisonous stingers on their tails were all aimed at her, as if they would be attacked violently if she moved even slightly.

Originally there was only a rustling sound, but now there was a hissing sound, as if calling their companions. In an instant, hundreds of scorpions swarmed in from all directions.

Suddenly, something incredible happened...

Her cloud-patterned jade pendant emitted a faint white light, flickering.

In an instant, the originally dense and restless scorpion group seemed to have received a silent order. They retracted their sharp scorpion tails, crawled forward in a humble posture, and slowly gathered towards her, like a loyal and obedient army.

She squatted down with curiosity, carefully stretched out her right hand, and gently stroked the extremely hard head armor of one of the scorpions.

Surprisingly, the scorpion obediently closed its sharp pincers and was as docile as a sheep, allowing her to caress it at will.

bang bang bang...

It is the feeling of the body expanding.

As her heartbeat quickened, an unbearable feeling of heat instantly swept through her body, stimulating every cell in her body.

At the same time, a mysterious power hidden deep in the body and dormant for a long time seemed to be awakened and began to stir.

She subconsciously raised her left hand and stared at her palm, only to see a dazzling light suddenly flash.

Then, a vague yet mysterious crescent-shaped pattern quietly emerged on her palm. As if she had found the source of this mysterious power, she moved her mind and resolutely pointed her left finger towards a nearby distance.

In the blink of an eye, the scorpions immediately scattered in an orderly manner and quickly retreated back to the burrows and dense grass where they had originally hidden. The whole process was as fast as lightning, as if it had never happened.

What's happening here?

These scorpions can actually be controlled by her?

Shen Qingge was surprised and felt a strong sense of surprise in his heart.

Could it be that this is the magical power bestowed upon her by the cloud-patterned jade pendant?

No, she clearly felt the throbbing of her body, and the cloud-patterned jade pendant emitted light under the drive of this intense throbbing.

Could it be that there is blood flowing in her body that is different from that of ordinary people?

For the first time in his life, Shen Qingge began to doubt his own life experience.

But this doubt was soon replaced by an irrepressible curiosity. She wanted to see if she could really control the scorpion!

She stood up, narrowed her eyes slightly, and clenched her left hand...

Soon, a dense crowd of scorpions gathered around her feet again, all in a submissive posture, as if waiting for her further instructions.

At this time, Shen Qingge finally confirmed that she could indeed control this group of scorpions.

At this moment, Li Tian's voice came from not far away.

"Miss Shen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. We walked a little far just now!"

Shen Qingge heard the sound and looked over. The figure was still far away, so he immediately raised his hand, and the scorpions on the ground disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Then, she walked forward quickly as if nothing had happened, with a smile on her face.

"It's okay, Mr. Li. I've finally had a short rest and now I'm more energetic to continue my journey! Let's hurry up and leave without delay!"

Zhao Du, who was hiding behind Li Tian timidly, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Shen Qingge was unharmed.

Ma Si looked at Shen Qingge unhappily, then patted Niu Ergou on the shoulder:

"Look, I've already told you, there's no way there's a scorpion in broad daylight! And Scorpion Mountain is just a name!"

"Yes, yes, Fourth Brother is still very knowledgeable!"

Niu Ergou scratched his head and echoed repeatedly.

"Oh, so this place is called Scorpion Mountain?"

Hearing Shen Qingge's question, Li Si turned away arrogantly without responding.

Niu Ergou, on the other hand, smiled heartlessly: "Yes, when we went to the market just now, we talked for a long time about the legends of this place!"

"Oh, is it so?"

A knowing smile appeared on Shen Qingge's face.
