Setting aside all trivialities and jokes, it could be assumed that the scorpion was most likely a prepared trap.
As soon as these two entered the city, the mysterious residents disappeared, and then a boss appeared... this was a conspiracy!
"I'm not sure if it was aimed at us, more likely it's just bad luck for someone," he thought, furrowing his brow: "If an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, even if he is at the ninth stage, were to encounter this, he would not be able to avoid death."
The scorpion's stinger was coated with a thick and dense layer of venom, so powerful that it could allegedly dissolve the highest quality armor.
Moreover, its one-body defense could become an obstacle for cultivators whose attack power is at least not at the Soul Nascent level. This could become the last journey for many.
And I don't know how else to explain it, but the fact that Xie Qing was attacked by the scorpion was already a hidden blessing for other cultivators.
