The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

295. The Two Unfortunate People

Translator: 飞弹

The bloody smell led a large number of red scorpions over. They knew that some of their companions were killed by the evil humans, so they rushed over in groups.

Waves after waves of red scorpions ran out of the sand. Soon, about a hundred thousand scorpions mustered and besieged the four of them. The faces of the scorpions were hideously diabolic, and they brandished the claws, targeting each and every one of Feng Xi and the other three. If one didn’t watch those scorpions carefully, he would think that they were red sand, so it was no wonder Feng Xi would have stepped on the scorpions.

“It’s all your fault. Now we’re surrounded by the red scorpions,” Ice Qilin walked over and raised his hand to flick Feng Xi’s head hard.

“Ouch! It’s painful… Don’t flick me so hard. If you have strength, you might as well think about how to deal with them. The number of these scorpions is amazing and it continues to mount. This is the first time I’ve seen such big and strange scorpions.”

The scorpions in the red desert were dozens of times bigger than ordinary ones. Each of them was almost as big as an adult’s head and had sixteen feet. However, the most shocking thing was that the front of these scorpions was actually a baby’s face. It was just terrifying that so many baby faces were staring at them.

Feng Xi trembled and couldn’t help but hide in King of the Netherworld’s arms, “I thought they would be a bunch of cute scorpions. I didn’t expect them to look so frightening!”

“Cute? How can you think that scorpions would be cute? Or did you step on it on purpose?” Hearing his words, Ice Qilin could not help but roar at him again.

“I’ve seen the scorpions before and even caught them. At that time, they didn’t have baby faces on them. By the way, I have to make a serious statement that I didn’t deliberately step on the scorpions. How could I know that it would suddenly appear under my feet? Besides, I have been careful about the place where I was treading before.” Feng Xi said in a slow and deliberate way. In fact, he himself didn’t know why he would have step on the scorpion as if it just swarmed up out of the sand.

“That’s sophistry!” Ice Qilin wouldn’t believe his nonsense.

“If you have anything else to say, we’ll talk about it after we’re safe. The two of you go to the middle and let me and Wuya deal with these red scorpions,” King of the Netherworld said as he pushed Feng Xi behind him and there was still Wuya behind Feng Xi.

Wuya shrugged casually and turned to face the enormous red scorpions. He extended his right hand and pointed in the direction of the scorpions. A blast of gloomy chill burst out from his fingertip and created a cloud of ice fog, which enveloped the scorpions in an instant. Then the scorpions in the fog all froze solid, which showed no sign of melting in the blazing sun. Then Wuya snapped his fingers and the ice cubes shattered instantly, which made all the red scorpions break into pieces.

On the other hand, King of the Netherworld’s Emperor God’s Finger might have been weakened, but it was enough to deal with these red scorpions.

Like sweeping up, the scorpions blocking in front of King of the Netherworld were immediately reduced to red ashes when they came into contact with the light of Emperor God’s Finger, dissipating in the blink of an eye. The red sand was all lifted wherever the Emperor God’s Finger passed, and even some scorpions hidden under the sand were also exterminated. Then a deep and long ravine was created, stretching ahead.

After a few seconds, two-thirds of the red scorpions attacking them were immediately eliminated. The remaining scorpions became restless instantly.

Red scorpions felt the strength of the enemies and hesitated for a moment. Then they quickly burrowed into the earth and disappeared in the blink of an eye. There was no red scorpion within a 100-meter radius. This was the first time the scorpions in the red desert knew what it was like to flee in disorder.

If the word got out, it would probably cause a sensation in the entire Degenerate God Ravine because they were the only ones who expelled red scorpions.

In the distance, two people held the position of escaping and watched the scene in shock.

What did they just see?

Those people actually scared away the scorpions of the red desert?

And they could even use the spiritual power?

The two were the fallen people who accidentally intruded into the red desert. They unconsciously saw King of the Netherworld and the other three who were surrounded by red scorpions. Because they were afraid of being involved, the two of them almost immediately ran away. But not long after, there was a loud boom of the explosion. When they turned back, they found that two thirds of scorpions surrounding the four people were destroyed. But the shock those eliminated scorpions gave the two of them couldn’t hold a candle to that of the spiritual power the four of them used.

The two of them were stunned and completely forgot to escape until King of the Netherworld looked at them and his cold gaze woke them up.

“Hey, this is big news!” The grey clothed man said to his companion in surprise.

“Yeah, the people who entered the Western Waste Land would actually not be cursed,” His companion immediately understood his meaning. Since they had got such a big piece of news, they believed that the dominator of the Degenerate God Ravine would be very interested. In this way, they would make a big fortune, “Just tell the news to…”

“Tell it to whom?” King of the Netherworld’s voice suddenly interrupted.

The two of them widened their eyes as they stared at the man who suddenly appeared in front of them. They didn’t notice at all when he had come over.

“Answer me, who are you going to tell?” King of the Netherworld asked again and stared fixedly at them with deep eyes.

“L-l-lord Jemonten…” The grey clothed man began to sputter his reply as though his mouth was out of control.

“One of the three great dominators of Degenerate God Ravine? Why do you choose to tell him?” King of the Netherworld continued to ask.

“Because.. because Lord Jemonten likes to do some strange researches, and most of them are aimed at Degenerate God Ravine. He has even released an announcement that if there is any strange phenomenon in Degenerate God Ravine, people can go to Jemonten’s territory for rewards. Everyone in Degenerate God Ravine knows about it, so… we thought of telling Jemonten about it.”

Under King of the Netherworld’s gaze, the man in grey subconsciously told him the cause of the whole story. He didn’t want to say it, but he couldn’t resist it. There was a voice of fear in his heart telling him that if he didn’t say it, they might die.

“Research? Could it be caused by him?” King of the Netherworld muttered for a moment, then his eyes fell on the two of them again, “Then, do you want me to let you off or should I punish you?”

“Please spare us. We can swear to the master of the Degenerate God Ravine that we will never tell anyone what happened here,” The two of them heard the killing intent in his words and swore in a hurry. After that, the sky of Degenerate God Ravine immediately set up the rules applying to them.

The master of Degenerate God Ravine didn’t refer to King of the Netherworld, but a creature in Degenerate God Ravine. It was above all the fallen ones and was not bound by the rules, which curbed all the people in Degenerate God Ravine. It was because the oath of Degenerate God Ravine was more strict than that of the outside world. If the oath was violated, the master of Degenerate God Ravine would impose a penalty, which could make those who violated the oath be exterminated forever and be unable to be reincarnated again.

Therefore, this oath was still very solemn in Degenerate God Ravine.

In fact, King of the Netherworld didn’t want to kill them. The word “punish” might not necessarily mean he was going to kill someone, but since the two of them had made an oath, it also didn’t matter.

The two of them scrambled away from the red desert and suddenly had a premonition that Degenerate God Ravine seemed to grow more ominous.

“Boss, we just let them leave like this?” Feng Xi ran over and watched the two figures disappearing at an extremely high speed. He couldn’t help but feel surprised. Life was indeed more precious than fortune.

“Didn’t you want them to leave, Xiao Xi?” King of the Netherworld looked at him with amusement, not believing it.

“Of course not. Since we came here for the first time, we might be able to get some information from them,” Feng Xi rubbed his head and answered in confusion. Shouldn’t they fish for information from the two people first in such a situation?

King of the Netherworld pulled his hand and walked towards the east, explaining to him, “At present, there is no need to do that. Those two people don’t look like the ones who know some special information. If we asked them, we would also have wasted our breath.”

The most famous creatures in the red desert were red scorpions, followed by red spiders. Both were poisonous creatures, but red spiders were less deadlier than red scorpions. Although they also moved in flocks, the number of their group was generally within a thousand and they mainly lived on the edge of the red desert, which was the only way to leave the red desert.

King of the Netherworld and his group walked in the desert safely. Finally, they encountered a second attack, which was from the red spiders on the edge.

What made Feng Xi amused was that the two people whom they had just let off not long ago finally fell into the trap made by the red spiders. Judging from their expressions, he knew that they had been poisoned by the spiders and their lives were about to reach the end.

“Hey, do you need help?” Feng Xi stood outside and waved at the two people in front of him.

“Boss, we are in desperate need of help!” One of them jumped up high that one could vaguely see a few red spiders hanging on his body. Those who didn’t know the truth would think they were toys.

“Ah? Have I misheard him? They seem to call me Boss? “Feng Xi was stunned when he heard this title.

“You’re right, I heard it too,” Ice Qilin said unhappily.

“Alright, in this way, the members of my Feng Family has increased by two… Ouch…” Before Feng Xi could finish his words, King of the Netherworld flicked his head, which made him squatted down in pain. Then he raised his head and looked at the calm King of the Netherworld with tears in his eyes, “Boss, why did you flick me just now?”

“You silly goose, they’re all fallen people. Since unknown people would have called you ‘Boss’, they must be used to calling someone like this. Xiao Xi, would you casually ask them to join the Feng Family?” If any Tom, Dick, or Harry in the outside world wanted to join his family, King of the Netherworld naturally would have no objection, but the people in Degenerate God Ravine were not allowed to join them. This little idiot just became smug when he heard someone call him boss.

“Oh,” Feng Xi was upset. Okay, he was wrong!

In the end, the two of them were lucky to be rescued. It was not that King of the Netherworld and the others deliberately went to save them. It was just that the road ahead was the only way to leave the red desert. So, if they wanted to leave here, they had to eradicate the group of red spiders.
