46: Chapter 46 The Scorpion King's Secret

Gu Yuehua reached out and touched the mechanism on the black gate.

The next moment.

The eyes of the Red-haired Demon God turned crimson, and the sturdy black gate began to shake, then slowly opened.

The group stepped slowly through the black gate, entering the inner hall.

Suddenly, a majestic voice echoed in everyone's minds.

"Why have you come here, daring to disturb my slumber..."

This voice struck deep into the depths of their souls; everyone felt their scalps tingle upon hearing it, and for a moment, they actually felt a bit dizzy.

"Not good! It's a Boss skill."

Gu Yuehua observed her teammates' states and shouted inwardly.

Then, she used her last ounce of strength, put her harmonica to her lips, and began to play.

"Second job skill: Eternity of the Moment!"

A tranquil harmonica melody drifted out—melodious, fresh, refined, and elegant—instantly bringing everyone back to their senses.

"Holy crap!!! What just happened? I actually dreamed of my goddess in broad daylight."

A recovered Liu Lin exclaimed in shock.

Gu Yuehua warned, "It's a Boss skill, likely an attack on the soul or something similar, capable of causing dizziness and hallucinations."

"It's that overpowered?!"

Just as everyone was feeling incredulous.

Boom!

A loud noise came from the distance.

Then, a secret door in the inner hall slowly opened, and the Scorpion King, with a human head and scorpion body, finally made its appearance.

The Scorpion King had a pair of giant pincers for hands. Its lower body was that of a scorpion, while its upper body was that of a muscular man with six-pack abs. It was massive, like a heavy tank.

The Scorpion King spoke in human language, roaring, "It's those detestable grave robbers again, daring to trespass into my, Zhang San's, tomb! Pay with your lives!!!"

"What, you are Zhang San?!"

Hearing the Scorpion King reveal his own name, Li Youqian blurted out without thinking.

The Scorpion King, which had been charging at them with full force, suddenly screeched to a halt upon hearing this and seeing Li Youqian, raising its giant pincer to poke its own head.

"You know me?"

After saying this, the Scorpion King scrutinized Li Youqian. After looking for a moment, it sneered, "So that's it... You are the current owner of the Landlord profession. Kid, you must be here for the golden abacus!"

Li Youqian did not reply; at this moment, his heart was shrouded in a massive sense of terror.

Zhang San, the Landlord from two generations ago, born a thousand years ago!

But how could he still be alive in this world today?!

Seeing his expression, the Scorpion King said with smug satisfaction, "Are you shocked as to why I am still alive in this world?"

"Liar, you can't be Zhang San. Even if the Landlord from two generations ago lived a long time, he died six hundred years ago. You're just a monster impersonating Zhang San!"

Li Youqian's tone was filled with terror, and he was only half-believing what the Scorpion King said.

"Hahaha!!!"

The Scorpion King Zhang San laughed up at the sky, becoming even happier after hearing Li Youqian's words.

"Yes, more than six hundred years ago, I died once, but thanks to my master's favor, I have been resurrected in a brand-new form!!!"

Zhang San, the Landlord from two generations ago, the Scorpion King resurrected???

Horror flashed across everyone's faces!!!

Recalling the topics discussed outside—the Red-haired Demon God, the Glazed Lamp, eternal life—everyone's eyes gradually began to glaze over. They felt dizzy and hallucinated, as if the secret of eternal life were right before their eyes, and they could easily obtain it by killing the Scorpion King.

But just at this moment.

"Second talent skill: Fiery Eyes Golden Pupils!"

Li Mumu's eyes glowed with golden light, activating Fiery Eyes Golden Pupils to see through the illusion. Then, just as his teammates were about to be seduced, he shouted with a sound like a thunderclap.

"You call this ghost-like appearance of yours eternal life???"

"This is clearly called crossbreeding, okay? A monster created from the crossbreeding of a human and a scorpion!!!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone instantly sobered up.

Gu Yuehua warned, "Everyone, be careful. Don't easily believe what the Scorpion King says; it's very likely that while talking, it released a skill to bewitch the mind."

"Damn it!"

Liu Lin couldn't help but curse, "I was wondering! Why do I always dream of my Sister Mi in broad daylight? So this monster was behind it."

"Sanmu, attack him!!!"

"Alright."

Li Mumu pulled out his fire poker and charged toward the Scorpion King at a terrifying speed.

"Damn, I don't care about any eternal life. I only know that whoever wants to attain eternal life can only believe in Brother Zeng!!!"

"First Class Skill: Demon Subduing Staff Technique!"

Red lightning struck, inflicting paralysis control, and immediately after, Li Mumu released his weapon's innate skill.

"Ghost Fire!"

Blue flames engulfed the scorpion's entire body.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Dammit, you actually dare to burn me, you little brat, pay with your life!"

The next moment.

The Scorpion King's giant pincer struck, aiming to snap Li Mumu's neck.

But how could Li Mumu sit and wait for death?

"first talent skill: Bronze Skin and Iron Bone!"

Bang!

A loud noise.

It was as if the Scorpion King had clamped onto a super-hard steel plate. Li Mumu was completely unscathed, while a large hole was gouged into the Scorpion King's giant pincer. Its HP plummeted, and it grimaced in pain.

Seeing the opportunity, Li Mumu ducked and attacked the Scorpion King's lower body, using his fire poker to trigger a launch effect, then continuously stabbed at its abdomen, creating a mid-air combo state.

"Holy crap, no way!" Cuihua exclaimed in shock.

"This is... a mid-air combo?!"

Gu Yuehua's eyes widened, and her mouth was open so wide that she stuttered.

"This... kid... is planning to solo the Boss?"

A mid-air combo, as the name implies: "mid-air" is a technique to knock an enemy into the air for control, and a "combo" is continuously hitting them while airborne, keeping the enemy in the air so they cannot fall. In this state, continuous control can be achieved.

"I heard that only Professionals who have undergone strict training can pull off a mid-air combo in certain specific situations. But how long has it been since Li Mumu changed jobs? Where did he learn this technique?" Cuihua said.

"Could it be... self-taught?!"

Li Youqian explained thoughtfully.

Wang Baobao looked as if she had just realized something, then lowered her head and began to think in silence.

Dongfang Xue, who was beside her, saw this and asked, "Sister Baoer, do you know something?"

Wang Baobao struggled for a long time before speaking.

"Xiaoxue, you've also seen the videos Xiao Mumu posted. Doesn't it look like it?"

"Like what?"

"Isn't the hand speed of stabbing the Boss the same as the hand speed of jerking off in his videos?"

"..."

"Sister Baoer, don't ask me, I haven't seen them."

"Pretending!"

"Don't dwell on it, look, Sanmu is about to kill the Scorpion King," Liu Lin reminded.

Li Mumu had already landed 48 hits in his mid-air combo, frequently mixing in the Demon Subduing Staff Technique and Ghost Fire. At this rate, with about 10 more hits, the Scorpion King would be finished.

At this, everyone fell silent.

Is this guy really this monstrous?!

"Yuehua, did I mock Li Mumu earlier?" Cuihua swallowed hard and asked.

"I don't think so?" Gu Yuehua said with a guilty conscience.

"Caterpillar! Don't you remember?"

Wang Baobao added from the side.

Cuihua broke out in a sweat and said, "Baobao, does this guy hold grudges?"

Wang Baobao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but as long as it's a man, if a woman calls him a caterpillar, he will definitely hold a grudge for the rest of his life."

"Sister Cuihua, trust my intuition, I understand men the best!!!"
