Chapter 445
But!
That side seemed to have nothing at all!
It was just an ordinary stretch of yellow sand.
Time slowly passed.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
Finally, a faint sound rang out.
The yellow sand in that stretch of desert had actually begun to sink.
An area roughly five meters across.
Then!
A pair of eyes!
Gray and furtive, they poked out from beneath the yellow sand.
It watched its surroundings warily.
Looking this way and that.
Then!
After surveying the area once.
After confirming there was no danger!
It slowly began to relax.
Next!
It saw that patch of yellow sand collapse inward.
A massive body walked out.
It was an enormous scorpion.
Unlike an ordinary scorpion.
Its tail, incredibly, had an enormously enlarged tip.
Like a flower bud. "It's coming!"
Seeing that strange scorpion appear.
Zhou Butong told his disciple Zheng Xiaoke to hold his breath and focus.
Absolutely must not startle this fellow.
Under the gaze of the two of them.
They saw that scorpion pacing back and forth again.
Observing its surroundings.
As if making sure there was truly nothing around. "This fellow is very cautious!" Watching the scorpion's wary manner.
Zhou Butong let out a cold laugh.
However!
Fortunately, he had long known this scorpion's habits.
So he waited very patiently.
Finally!
Not long after!
After that scorpion had walked around a few more times.
It found no living creature nearby.
It walked to another patch of yellow sand and stopped.
Then!
The pair of pincers in front of it.
Began digging into the ground.
Not long after!
A golden flower had actually grown right there. "It appeared!" "Desert Golden Epiphyllum!"
Seeing a golden flower.
Zhou Butong and Zheng Xiaoke were overjoyed.
Joy showed on both their faces.
At this moment!
They had come precisely for this flower.
In the desert.
Even though it looked like a land of death.
But!
Many creatures still lived here, and there were even peculiar plants.
And the Desert Golden Epiphyllum was one of them.
It was a high-grade spirit flower.
Possessing tremendous efficacy.
Not only could it raise a phantom beast's growth and grade.
It was even!
An essential item needed for many phantom beasts' evolution.
However!
This kind of flower is extremely rare.
And its most peculiar feature—
—is that it is personally cultivated by the Golden Epiphyllum Scorpion.
It is said!
When the Golden Epiphyllum Scorpion cultivates the Golden Epiphyllum,
it uses its own body to devour it. After devouring nine of them, it will evolve into a terrifyingly powerful phantom beast—the Scorpion-Tail Dragon!
Therefore, the Golden Epiphyllum Scorpion devotes its entire life to cultivating the Desert Golden Epiphyllum.
And only at this very moment—
that Golden Epiphyllum Scorpion opened its tail.
—that tail-hammer, which looked just like a flower bud,
actually opened at the tip.
Suddenly!
A drop of golden liquid dripped out from within. "Now!" Seeing this scene—
Zhou Butong shouted.
Then, taking his disciple Zheng Xiaoke with him,
he charged toward the Golden Epiphyllum Scorpion.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
However!
Just at this moment!
In the sky!
A tremendous rumbling kept coming.
Space itself was trembling faintly.
Then!
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
The ground!
The yellow-sand ground rolled and surged.
A massive tremor came, as if it were an earthquake.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
In the distance!
