Chapter 193 Earth Desolate Wood

"By the way, have I not treated you for several hours?" Xiang Nan suddenly remembered that four to five hours had passed since he had treated her with pure elemental energy once before cultivating his perceptual killing intent.

This was the first time that this little girl's illness had lasted for such a long time.

The little girl seemed reluctant to talk about this. She changed the topic and said, "I saw you talking to yourself the other day with a map. You said you were looking for some kind of desolate earth wood. Are you trying to forge weapons? Desolate earth wood is a kind of material for refining earth-grade elementary-grade weapons."

"Sort of." Xiang Nan didn't know whether to say it or not.

She had her secrets, and Xiang Nan had her own. Since she was unwilling to confess, there was no need for Xiang Nan to tell her about her situation.

"I know where the Desolate Earth Wood is." The girl tilted her head and looked at Xiang Nan.

"Oh? Where is it?" Xiang Nan hurriedly asked.

The girl said, "Go deeper. The earth desolate wood grows near the nest of the Eight-step Scorpion."

"Ah?" Xiang Nan was shocked.

Although he didn't know much about demonic beasts, some famous demonic beasts still knew.

Eight-step Heavenly Scorpion was a type of demonic beast that was left behind from ancient times. Its realm span was very large, and it usually ranged from the Origin Realm to the Heaven Scryer Realm.

"Earth Desolate Wood is something guarded by the Eight-step Scorpion?" Although Xiang Nan was afraid, he was already flying towards the depths of the primordial swamp with the little girl in his arms.

No wonder this place was named after the word "primordial wilderness". Indeed, there were indeed some ancient demonic beast populations in this primordial swamp.

"It's not the Eight-step Scorpion guarding the Desolate Wood, but every time the Eight-step Scorpion rises, it will retreat from its outer shell."

"If those shells rot in the soil for a long time, they will grow a kind of wood. Guess what kind of wood it is?" The girl said.

Is there a need to guess?

The closer he got to the depths of the Primordial Swamp, the more cautious Xiang Nan became. This place had already entered the territory of the 3rd level of the Origin Core Demonic Beast, and Xiang Nan did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

According to what this girl said, the average strength of the lowest realm Eight Step Scorpion Population was about the fifth level of Origin Return.

Therefore, Xiang Nan didn't stop halfway and flew all the way at low altitudes. He borrowed the dense leaves to hide his body and finally arrived at the area where the fifth level Origin Returning Demonic Beast was located.

"If you can't find the Earth Desolate Wood here, give up." Xiang Nan raised his head to look at the sky. The flying demonic beasts in the sky could already be described as dense. This primordial swamp was much more dangerous than the Hundred Beast Cliff.

If there were no desolate trees in the fifth level of the Origin Realm, Xiang Nan did not intend to go any deeper and risk his life.

"Ah, there it is!" Just as Xiang Nan had been searching for half an hour without a trace, the little girl suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted.

Xiang Nan hurriedly looked over from afar. There was a large swamp emitting black gas in the southeast. Looking over from here, Xiang Nan himself could not see anything. He could only see a pitch-black fog.

But the little girl was able to see it, which made Xiang Nan feel very impressed.

"I'm afraid that black gas is poisonous." Xiang Nan took out three antidotes, the Hundred Spirits Pill.

He swallowed one for himself, one for the little girl, and the other for the little bird to eat after crushing it into powder.

After making all the preparations, Xiang Nan lowered his body and quietly circled around.

The black swamp was extremely poisonous, and the surrounding grass didn't grow at all, causing this place to become an open space that was quite conspicuous.

Although Xiang Nan and the little girl had already held their breath, the bubbles that emerged from the black swamp spat out a black gas that could penetrate into human skin and enter their bodies through pores.

Once the two of them stood at the edge of the swamp, they felt extremely unwell and wanted to vomit. This was after swallowing the Hundred Spirits Pill. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This swamp looked like a circular, bubbling black lake. In the middle of the lake, there was an open space. There were many huge rocks scattered on it. Each rock was at least seventy to eighty meters long.

"Be careful, don't make a sound." Xiang Nan didn't dare to fly, so he used his Yuan Qi to grab the swamp and solidify it. Then, he stepped on the Yuan Qi surface and walked towards the central region step by step.

When they reached the empty space, they didn't find anything unusual, let alone the existence of the Eight-step Heavenly Scorpion. Only then did they feel relieved to search around.

"This is the Earth Desolate Wood." The girl suddenly pointed.

Xiang Nan looked in the direction he was heading. It turned out that the Desolate Earth Wood was a small piece of tree root that looked like a withered tree root. It was at most half a foot tall. Its entire body was black, and it was slightly yellowish.

If it weren't for her guidance, Xiang Nan wouldn't have discovered it. He would have thought that it was just a small piece of withered tree roots.

He took out his giant saber and gently lifted the Earth Desolate Wood from the ground. Sure enough, there were many broken black shells connected to the roots of this small piece of Earth Desolate Wood.

"I got it. Let's go." Xiang Nan did not expect that this trip would be surprisingly smooth.

After obtaining the Earth Desolate Wood, he was in a good mood. He immediately brought the little girl back along the same path. However, when he returned to the black swamp this time, something suddenly appeared in the bubbles in the swamp.

"What is this? Sulfur?" Xiang Nan was stunned. He watched as the bubbles burst one by one, and some powder fell out. The powder had a pungent smell.

"Not good, hurry up and leave! The Eight-step Scorpion is coming out." The little girl quickly said.

Xiang Nan was also very decisive. After hearing her words, he immediately ran wildly. Almost at the same time, a huge pair of pliers suddenly popped out of the swamp.

The target of this pair of pliers was Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan dodged immediately, but the large pliers were empty. After a cracking sound, a powerful air cannon was clamped out!

Xiang Nan was instantly sent flying by the air cannon, and at the same time, in the swamp, the owner of the pliers jumped out with a flip.

Surprisingly, it was a black scorpion that jumped about ten meters long.

The scorpion shook its two large pliers. The pliers clenched together with a cracking sound, producing a crisp sound of metal colliding.

Xiang Nan did not intend to stay and fight. He only wanted to escape, not to mention that this eight-step Heavenly Scorpion had already reached the fourth level of Origin Return.

However, wanting to walk and being able to walk were two different things. Xiang Nan ran outside, and the outer ring also climbed out of the eight-step Heavenly Scorpion. Each of them was at the 4th to 5th level of Origin Return, which was extremely formidable.

The large scorpions crawled towards Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan jumped over and tried to soar into the air.

The big scorpions aimed at Xiang Nan and clicked on the pliers.

A loud rumble could be heard. Every time the Scorpion struck the pliers, a powerful air cannon would burst out when they collided with each other.

Xiang Nan hurriedly erected his Yuan Qi shield, but his shield immediately shattered under the impact of the two air cannons.

"What a powerful force!" Xiang Nan's heart sank. The strength of these eight-step Heavenly Scorpions was too frightening. Even an eight-step Heavenly Scorpion at the fourth level of Origin Return was stronger than a demonic beast at the fifth level of Origin Return at the Hundred Beast Cliff.

Moreover, they lived in groups and came out in large groups at a time.
