Giant Earth King’ And ‘Pink Queen’ (3)

Grandmaster knew the capability of Tang San's eyes and immediately questioned closer:

"Little San, can you see the appearances of those spirit beasts?"

With his experience, as long as Tang San could describe the spirit beasts, he could determine what kind they had encountered, and dealing with them would naturally become a lot easier.

Tang San said:

"I'll try."

Urging his Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang San congregated it at his eyes, purple golden light suddenly flashing out of them in chi long rays of light in the direction he was looking.

The immortal treasure herb 'Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew' changed Tang San's Purple Demon Eye, not only could he see more clearly, but also more penetratingly.

Even to the extent that it could be used as a mental attack.

Right now, with Tang San using his full strength, his gaze cut through the layers of fog, gradually seeing clearly the spirit beasts around them.

As he saw these spirit beasts, he couldn't help drawing a deep breath. These spirit beasts own strength wasn't so scary, what was scary was that their numbers really were too high.

"Teacher, it's 'Pink Maiden' spirit beasts."

Grandmaster looked distracted,

"You didn't make a mistake? Even though the Pink Maidens have poison, even at the ten thousand year level they still can't produce a poisonous fog over such a large area to attack us."

Tang San's expression was serious:

"Teacher, I'm certain. Moreover I also know why there would be such a dense poison fog. Because, there are no less than one thousand Pink Maidens out there. Even though for the most part they're only on the hundred year level, such an amount of Pink Maidens can rely on the morning mist to release poison to such a degree."

"What? A thousand? Is this possible?"

There was a shocked light in Grandmaster's eyes, and his stiff face immediately grew serious.

"What are you talking about? What 'Pink Maidens'?"

Liu Erlong couldn't keep from asking.

Grandmaster said in a heavy voice:

"Pink Maidens are a kind of spirit beast. It's shape is similar to a scorpion, but compared to the Giant Earth King it's considerably inferior. It's a flock spirit beast. It's nature is comparatively mild. Because its body appears to be pink and translucent, its profile dazzling, it's given the name 'Pink Maiden'. Generally speaking, it will very rarely take the initiative to attack humans, and seems to only keep away from Spirit Masters."

"Each group of Pink Maidens only number around a few tens to a hundred, with the most powerful one as leader. In order to keep other members from surpassing it, if there is a member that evolves faster, the most formidable one will kill it. This leads to this kind of spirit beast very rarely resulting in ten thousand year level existences. Even to the extent that thousand year levels are very few."

Flender frowned:

"Then what's the attack capability of such spirit beasts? Only poison?"

Grandmaster nodded, saying:

"Yes, but their poison also isn't very strong. The Man Faced Demon Spider that Tang San killed is their natural predator. One Man Faced Demon Spider can even easily kill a group of a hundred Pink Maidens. Among all spirit beasts that attack with poison, they're still considered pretty inferior. Their poison is very particular, a kind of stimulating poison. Breathing in a little bit wouldn't be harmful, and would instead cause the victim to become excited. But if too much is inhaled, and gradually causes excitement, once the stimulation reaches a certain degree it will overdraw one's vitality, until death. Precisely because its body is weak, it's also extremely difficult for them to evolve, and they become food for a lot of high level spirit beasts. If it's like little San says, and we've now encountered a thousand member Pink Maiden community, then I can say with certainty that within this community there must have appeared a 'Pink Queen'."

"The Pink Queen is a variant Pink Maiden. It's also the most powerful Pink Maiden, and in order for this mutation to occur it will first require at least three thousand years of cultivation, next it requires eating at least a hundred of its own clansmen. Once such a Pink Queen emerges, it will gather its kin on a large scale, using them as food. Because her strength is much more powerful than ordinary Pink Maidens, as a result, even if there is the risk of being eaten, the majority of Pink Maidens will still obey."

"A single Pink Maiden is even unable to harm a tenth rank or so Spirit Master, but the poison secreted by a Pink Queen is enough to stimulate a fiftieth rank Spirit Master to death. This kind of peculiar poison can't be guarded against, it will even invade the body through the skin. The poison fog released by these thousand Pink Maidens is in order to poison us to death here. But I don't understand why a mild tempered Pink Maiden would show such hostility towards us. It's as if they ambushed us here."

When Grandmaster talked about the characteristics of the Pink Maiden, Tang San silently reflected by his side. Now hearing Grandmaster say this, he said:

"Teacher, wouldn't you say it's because of that Giant Earth King last night? The Giant Earth King is the same as the Pink Maiden, they're both scorpion shaped spirit beasts, perhaps it would be related to it?"

Light flickered in Grandmaster's eyes,

"It's possible. Don't tell me, this community's Pink Queen unexpectedly was the mate of that Giant Earth King? This is very possible. The intelligence of spirit beasts will grow along with their age, even if it's a Pink Queen, among spirit beasts it's still considered fairly weak. And the Giant Earth King is nevertheless a similar kind of creature, the Giant Earth King's Magma Earth Rending Strike even has a certain restraining effect on the Man Faced Demon Spider. If one said the Pink Queen committed herself as the price for its protection, the theory holds water. That Giant Earth King's strength should be considered pretty good in this Sunset Forest. Further adding this enormous Pink Maiden community, it's sufficient to control a corner."

Flender looked at Liu Erlong at his side, unable to keep from laughing:

"You bullied the husband, so now the family's come for revenge."

Cold light flashed in Liu Erlong's eyes,

"Revenge? Fine! Then I'll keep killing, making them a pair of mandarin ducks."

Grandmaster firmly said:

"The poison fog aggregated by more than a thousand Pink Maidens is no small matter, we absolutely can't be careless. Just now we were all affected by a bit of the poison, and were it not for little San having this bizarre anti poison flower, it would be hard to say what would have happened. Right now there are several ways to settle the issue. One is to rely on this flower's poison resisting properties to break through, an even more dependable method is to rely on Flender's flying ability to shift us one by one out of this area, as long as we get out of the affected region it wouldn't be a problem. But that also confronts us with the danger of ambush by other kinds of spirit beasts. Little San, you have a comparatively better understanding of poison, what's your proposal?"

Tang San said:

"Pink Maidens after all lack attack power, with our strength it's still preferable to break through. As long as we keep a close formation it's possible. Best would be if that Pink Queen couldn't keep from coming out to attack, as long as we could dispatch her, the headless spirit beast group would naturally disperse. As long as everyone stays within a ten meter diameter from me, the poison wouldn't take effect."

Flender nodded, saying:

"Good, then it's settled. Let's not delay, little San, since you can see the surrounding circumstances, we'll follow your directions. Wuji take up the rear, Erlong and Grandmaster, we're in front. Mubai, all of you coordinate in the center, make sure to protect little San, little Ao and Rongrong. Especially this Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Treasure little San holds."

With an accurate analysis of the situation, naturally there was less bewilderment. Everyone's battle lust ignited, even Grandmaster, each person released their spirit.

As a result of obtaining a third Spirit Ring, Grandmaster's spirit Luo San Pao's body had changed somewhat, not only growing a size larger than before, but also gaining some golden color in its deep purple fur. Looking at his appearance, if Grandmaster really could obtain nine spirit rings, maybe it would really be capable of evolving into a Golden Saint Dragon.

Under Tang San's directions, using the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Treasure's poison resistance, everyone advanced cautiously.

Grandmaster and Tang San's judgement was exceptionally correct. This group of Pink Maidens leader was precisely a Pink Queen, and it was also the mate of last night's unfortunate Giant Earth King.

Spirit beasts had methods of communicating between each other, and the Giant Earth King naturally released a kind of scent when it died, informing the Pink Queen. Further adding the existence of the Giant Earth King's aura on Ma Hongjun, naturally the family would come calling.

The area the Pink Maidens surrounded wasn't too large, but Tang San very quickly found something wrong.

Along with their movements, the entire encirclement also moved.

Right now, even though the morning mist had already gradually dissipated in the sunlight, their surroundings were still concealed by a pink poison gas, only appearing a bit thinner than before.

Pausing, Tang San said:

"This won't do. These Pink Maidens are also moving. My line of sight is unclear, and within the forest our speed is also limited. If this continues, we can only continue within their encirclement. Even though we have the Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Treasure, we still can't continue this way. Little Ao, prepare mushroom sausages."

Oscar looked inquiringly at Flender, and Flender used his hand to point to Tang San,

"Little San directs."

After Oscar's spirit power progressed, when consuming his entire spirit power he could produce twelve flying mushroom sausages, just enough to satisfy everyone's requirements.

Even though the effect would reduce by half when he himself used these flying mushroom sausages, but he could prepare two (Flender had his own flying spirit, and didn't need a mushroom sausage), he could still fly for one minute like everyone else.
