82: Chapter 82 One traitor, two traitors!

Instructor Lei Zhan's eyelids twitched as he listened.

A place that everyone else considered a death trap was, in this kid's mouth, actually a holy land for leveling up?

"You're crazy!" Instructor Lei Zhan couldn't help but scold.

"Do you really think you're invincible? That was just luck earlier; you ran into a bunch of brainless Shadow Bat Kings!"

"If you actually run into a Level 6 Beast, you'll behave yourself! Never mind you, even I don't stand a chance in front of a Level 6 Beast!"

A Level 6 Martial Saint fighting a Level 6 Beast doesn't even have 50/50 odds; the Beast actually has a higher chance of winning.

He wasn't in good condition right now; if he really encountered one, he would just be serving himself up on a platter.

"No way? My luck shouldn't be that bad, right?"

Lin Fan rubbed his chin, feeling that he had always been blessed with good fortune.

"Besides, the Crimson Gobi is so big, what are the odds of running into…"

Before he could finish his sentence.

"ROAR!!!"

An earth-shattering roar erupted from the deepest part of the Gobi without any warning!

The roar was filled with endless violence and fury, and the terrifying pressure contained within it acted like a tangible sound wave, instantly sweeping across the entire valley!

HUM—!

The gravel in the valley trembled violently.

The moment the Thunder Prison Mad Bull, that Level 5 Monster, heard the roar, its legs went weak, and it fell to its knees with a thud!

The hair all over its body stood on end.

Its huge bovine eyes were filled with extreme terror!

Even Instructor Lei Zhan, who was sitting cross-legged on a rock, had his expression change abruptly!

"Damn it!"

Instructor Lei Zhan stood up abruptly, his expression unsightly to the extreme.

"The penetrating power of this sound... this pressure... it's a Level 6 Beast! The Red Scorpion King!"

His voice trembled slightly.

The true king of the Crimson Gobi had awakened!

And judging by the anger in that roar, something had clearly gone wrong!

"Why is it so angry?"

Instructor Lei Zhan's mind raced, and a terrifying thought emerged.

Could it be...

He recalled the thousands of monsters the freshmen had cleared out on the periphery earlier.

Although those Level 1 and Level 2 monsters were just trash in the eyes of high-level martial artists like them, to the Red Scorpion King, they were all its subjects, its underlings!

Now that its underlings had all been wiped out, how could the boss not go berserk?!

"Holy crap!"

Instructor Lei Zhan felt his scalp tingle, and a chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to his skull.

He had really messed up this time!

He grabbed Li Laishi, who was still not fully awake, threw him onto his back, and turned to run!

His movements were fluid and seamless, without the slightest hesitation!

"Lin Fan! You damn brat, I'm saying this one last time, if you don't want to die, hurry up and...!"

Instructor Lei Zhan's voice echoed in the valley, but he had already rushed dozens of meters away.

He just wanted to escape this place of trouble immediately and bring this troublemaker, Lin Fan, back to the base.

However, before he could finish his sentence.

WHOOSH—!

A streak of blue lightning, accompanied by crackling sounds, had already flashed past him, moving even faster than him!

It was none other than Lin Fan and his mount, the Thunder Prison Mad Bull!

Instructor Lei Zhan: "???"

He watched the back of the man and bull as they sped off, completely dumbfounded.

He saw Lin Fan, riding on the Thunder Prison Mad Bull, looking excited as he turned his head to wave at him.

"Instructor Lei, hurry up! Let's go see who it is that's making such a scene!"

He was genuinely curious and wanted to see what a Level 6 Beast looked like and whether it could provide him with massive amounts of Defense experience.

But the Thunder Prison Mad Bull beneath him didn't think so!

Its legs were moving like wheels of fire, so fast that it left only a blur!

That look of exhausted spiritual energy and being half-dead earlier was all an act!

It had secretly hidden quite a bit, just to save it for escaping!

Are you kidding me!

That was the Red Scorpion King!

The only king of this Gobi!

If it were caught by the Red Scorpion King, the outcome would definitely be worse than death!

After all, the first to die is always the traitor!

Moreover, the Shadow Bat Kings were covered in traces of its attacks!

If it were caught, it would definitely be torn to pieces!

Therefore, it had only one thought now—run!

Instructor Lei Zhan watched the streak of lightning disappear around the corner of the valley and finally reacted.

"Damn it! You bastard! Running so fast?!"

He cursed loudly in the direction the Thunder Prison Mad Bull had fled.

Then, he himself also sprinted, unleashing the maximum speed of a Martial Saint, running for his life!

"Holy crap! Lin Fan, you little brat, wait for me! Is your mount a reincarnated donkey?! Running so fast!"

For a time, the entire valley was filled only with Instructor Lei Zhan's furious cursing and the echoing sounds fading further and further away.

...

"Damn it! You stupid bull, were you acting?!"

Lin Fan sat on the back of the Thunder Prison Mad Bull, feeling the strong wind whistling past his ears, nearly blowing him silly.

He was surprised to find that the bull's speed was even faster than when it was hunting down the Shadow Bat Kings earlier!

"You said you were out of mana, not a drop left, yet your speed when running for your life is faster than anyone else's!"

Lin Fan couldn't help but slap the bull on the head.

"MOOOOO!!!"

The Thunder Prison Mad Bull felt the pain, but its speed didn't decrease; instead, it became even faster.

Are you kidding!

That was the Red Scorpion King!

The only king of this Crimson Gobi!

It was a terrifying existence that could go head-to-head with a human Martial Saint!

If it had hesitated for even one more second earlier, waiting for the Red Scorpion King to arrive, it, this "cow traitor," would definitely have been the first to be liquidated!

"I told you to stop! Can't you understand human language?"

Lin Fan was so angry he slapped it again.

"I told you to turn around! Go towards that sound! What the hell are you running out for!

A Level 6 Beast! That punch could probably match Instructor Lei, right? Let me experience it!"

Lin Fan was anxious, wishing he could grow four legs to run over there.

But his speed stat on his panel was nowhere near enough.

If he ran himself, he would be as slow as a turtle!

However, the Thunder Prison Mad Bull simply ignored him.

It continued to run headlong, the will to survive overcoming everything.

He didn't know how long they had been running.

"THUD!"

The Thunder Prison Mad Bull finally exhausted its last bit of strength.

Its four and a half legs went weak.

Its huge body collapsed to the ground.

Foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over, this time it really didn't have a drop left.

Lin Fan jumped off the bull's back, his face full of disdain and annoyance.

"Useless!"

He kicked the bull's leg.

Just then, a figure wrapped in boundless fury finally caught up from behind.

"LIN! FAN!"

Instructor Lei Zhan's eyes were bloodshot, and his chest heaved violently.

Pointing at Lin Fan's nose, he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

He was so tired he was on the verge of collapse!

He, a Level 6 Martial Saint, had actually been dragged to exhaustion by the leg strength of a Level 5 Monster!

"Instructor Lei, you're here."

Lin Fan greeted him with an innocent look, "Your speed isn't good enough; Brother Bull and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Instructor Lei Zhan: "..."

He felt his blood pressure shoot straight to his skull.

...

Meanwhile.

In the valley where Lin Fan and the others had been before.

The ground was covered with the corpses of the Shadow Bat Kings and foul-smelling black blood; the scene was like purgatory.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps rang out.

A huge and terrifying shadow slowly extended in from the entrance of the valley.

It was a giant scorpion over ten meters in size!

Its carapace had a dark red, metallic texture.

It was covered with ferocious barbs.

Eight thick, jointed limbs supported its massive body; with every step it took, it left shallow imprints on the hard rock.

The most striking thing was the scorpion tail raised high behind it, like a giant siege hammer!

The poisonous stinger at the end flashed with a deadly, dark purple luster, just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.

A Level 6 Beast, the overlord of the Crimson Gobi, the Red Scorpion King!

And beside the Red Scorpion King's huge body, a tiny figure was following.

If Lin Fan were here, he would definitely recognize it.

It was the Four-Horned Antelope whose four horns he had violently snapped off, and which he had forced to kick the "Demon Pill" itself!

At this moment, this hornless Four-Horned Antelope was bowing its head humbly.

It was carefully leading the Red Scorpion King.

It was the "traitor" who had tipped off the Red Scorpion King!

The Red Scorpion King's huge compound eyes swept across the mess on the ground.

When it saw that the entire Shadow Bat King clan had been slaughtered, and not even a complete corpse could be found.

A cold, extreme murderous intent erupted from within it!

"ROAR!!!"

A roar, even more violent and angry than before, shot up into the sky!
