Chapter 242 Internal strife breaks out

The killer scorpion has a hard shell; once you break through the shell, you can hurt it inside.

When Jiang He's longsword entered, the flaming blade sizzled as it touched the flesh, releasing a faint smell of burning. This single strike was insufficient to completely kill the killer scorpion, so Jiang He's sword remained firmly pressed against the scorpion's internal flesh.

The first thing the brownish-yellow killer scorpion did after being released from control was to shake off Jiang He from its body.

After the other sword cultivators lured the golden-yellow killer scorpions away, Shangguan Linghu managed to escape from them.

Shangguan Linghu turned around and took a few steps onto the body of the killer scorpion to help Jiang He stabilize the sword.

With the support of Shangguan Linghu's power, the Xuan Tie Sword advanced another step towards the Killer Scorpion.

The brownish-yellow killer scorpion tried to break free from the group of sword cultivators, but Jiang He and Shangguan Linghu held it too tightly.

Bai Zhizhou led a team of sword cultivators to deal with the golden killer scorpions, while Jiang He's brownish-yellow killer scorpion, now without any cover, kept shaking its body.

The killer scorpion began to dig into the soil with its pincers.

Seeing this, everyone understood the brownish-yellow killer scorpion's intention:

“Killer scorpions burrow into the sand; we need to control one.”

The sword in Lan Mu Jiang He's hand, glowing red, vaguely reminded her of a scene she had seen somewhere before. Upon hearing Jiang He's voice, she immediately snapped back to reality.

"coming."

Lanmu bent over, her right hand touching the hot sand.

The sand was so hot that her hands soon began to steam and vaporize.

Lan Mu endured the pain, pressing his left hand on his right. In an instant, dozens of brown, dried vines rose from the sand, and ten vines were pulled out and wrapped around the killer scorpion.

The brownish-yellow killer scorpion tried to escape into the sand, but the orchid vines were so stubborn that they even tied it up and pulled it to the ground.

"Good job!"

Helian Fenghua saw that Lanmu was a plant-type cultivator, and was gentle and weak, but unexpectedly she learned wood-type magic so well.

Just as Lan Mu was about to return a smile, the scorpion's stinger bypassed the vines, shattering the vines that had just restrained the scorpion.

Lanmu's face was pale. She picked up her blood-covered right hand and put her left hand back on the sand.

Ten withered vines rose anew from the desert surface.

Seeing that the vine had broken but new tendrils had appeared, the Killer Scorpion continued to try to stop it. Its stinger was sharp, and its target was no longer the vine, but Shangguan Linghu!

Without any other control, in the blink of an eye, the scorpion's stinger struck down suddenly while Shangguan Linghu was not paying attention.

The situation was too critical. In a flash, Jiang He acted quickly. She turned to the side, dislodged the force from Shangguan Linghu's arm, and then pushed her off the scorpion's back.

Shangguan Linghu was unaware of what had happened. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the stinger of the killer scorpion pierce the spot where she had just been standing.

If she had been standing there earlier, she might have been eliminated by now.

The killer scorpion's stinger missed its mark. Its attack was too decisive, leaving no time to retract it. Just when everyone thought the killer scorpion would stab itself with its stinger, the stinger moved.

It's not a literal movement.

The killer scorpion's tail stretched and shortened by several sections.

Because the distance was shortened, the tail stinger just barely missed its target.

"It's not that this killer scorpion can't shrink its bones."

As soon as Zhong Liyu finished speaking, the killer scorpion's body began to shorten vertically. This scene stunned not only Zhong Liyu but also the audience watching from outside the screen.

The killer scorpion moved swiftly, shrinking its body by half in just a short time.

And then……

Jiang He's sword was forced out of the killer scorpion's body.

Li Ling wiped the hammer:

"When I first joined this team, I thought you guys were really strong and managed to get me to join. But now it seems you're nothing special."

I regret joining the team. We killed so many monsters but couldn't even seriously injure the Killer Scorpion. It's so weak.

Before the killer scorpion problem could be solved, Li Ling was already launching sarcastic remarks.

Zhong Liyu hadn't had much contact with Li Ling, and he was about to speak when he heard this. But then he heard Li Ling's words about how he had been tricked into joining the team. He remembered that Li Ling had begged to join the team himself. The contrast in their words made Zhong Liyu suddenly realize something.

He followed Li Ling's words and said sarcastically:

"Oh right, Li Ling, you're so amazing, why don't you kill the killer scorpion with one sword strike?"

Seeing the tense atmosphere between Li Ling and Zhong Liyu, everyone was confused. Li Ling was clearly a member of the team, so why did he always disobey orders?

Even after all this, the killer scorpion was still not dealt with, especially Lan Mu, who had always had feelings for Jiang He. With her scalded hands hanging limply, she shouted at Li Ling:

“Li Ling, I don’t hate demonic cultivators, but I really despise a demonic cultivator like you who disregards the team and only cares about yourself. You could have finished off the Killer Scorpion by now if you had the time to make sarcastic remarks.”

Li Ling's attitude towards others was not good. Ever since she revealed her identity as a demonic cultivator, the number of viewers in Jiang He's live stream has increased, mostly from netizens watching the spectacle.

[Strange, Wanjue Academy is still accepting demonic cultivators this year? These demonic cultivators have such bad tempers.]

To be honest, judging from this scene, it's clear that this demonic cultivator is dissatisfied with Jiang He.

If it were me, I wouldn't be satisfied either. I finally got into a team, but the captain isn't very strong. I've seen this team dragging on for ages. Even Wanqi Ziye over there didn't take this long to kill an A-rank monster.

The killer scorpion has large pincers and a stinger, it's really hard to deal with. What's wrong with this Li Ling, always stirring up trouble?

They've had some internal strife, haven't they? I've never had high expectations for Wanjue Academy, and sure enough, this team that's been so hard to assemble... and the new commander isn't all that great either. He can't even balance the conflicts, and his own teammates are the first to complain. It's hilarious.

Demonic cultivators and spiritual cultivators have never gotten along. Most of the demonic cultivators I know are extremely arrogant and need a leader who can keep them in check; otherwise, demonic cultivators simply don't cooperate.

Judging from this, Jiang He clearly can't control Li Ling anymore.

I'm speechless. I even bet on the Wanjue Academy. Does this commander even know how to fight? If you're going to fight, just fight properly. Why are you arguing?

]

Lan Mu had just finished speaking to Li Ling when the scorpion's stinger suddenly swept across everyone. She rolled backward, and Lan Mu, focused on dodging, didn't have time to speak again.

The scorpion immediately became agile after squeezing the sword out of its body.

Jiang He jumped off the killer scorpion's body and then took out her staff.

"solid!"

Jiang He's earth-element staff continuously absorbed earth elements from within her body and from the air.

Once the decree was issued, not only did the sand become firmer due to the addition of water, but other soil components also moved closer to the feet of the killer scorpion.

The sand surface solidifies, preventing the killer scorpion from escaping underground.

Li Ling rushed forward, and this time her hammer struck the wounded scorpion with pinpoint accuracy.

Jiang He stared intently at the stinger of the killer scorpion. Just now, the killer scorpion preferred to expose its special ability to shrink its body rather than let its stinger touch its outer armor.

The killer scorpion has a hard exoskeleton, and its stinger is unlikely to pierce it easily.

If Jiang He's guess is correct...
