Chapter 153 The Cowardly Ghost-Faced Scorpion King

Su Mo and the others were all prepared for battle, waiting for the Type VI Lord-class Aberrant Ghost-Faced Scorpion King to rush out.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

When the explosion subsided, the Type VI Lord-class Aberrant Ghost-Faced Scorpion King didn't come out.

The entire sandy sea was eerily calm!

"What's going on? Why isn't it coming out? Did it chicken out?"

Sun Duo Xiang asked, puzzled.

Su Mo's expression shifted, and his mood worsened. He had a bad feeling. He immediately said to Di Luo,

"Continue charging the main cannon, blast it out of there for me!"

"Okay!"

Di Luo replied.

Soon, the Immortal Blade's main cannon was fully charged and fired again, blasting a terrifying beam of light down.

...

A dozen hours later.

Su Mo and the others were completely helpless. No matter how they attacked, the Type VI Lord-class Aberrant Ghost-Faced Scorpion King wouldn't come out.

And the depth of this sandy sea seemed extraordinary. No matter how they attacked, they couldn't reach the bottom.

Su Mo couldn't help but complain to the Creator Devourer,

"Shouldn't monsters affected by negative energy be mindless? Has this guy become a spirit? Why won't it come out?"

"There's no way around it. Although this guy's eyes are red and it has no rationality, it still has instincts. You hurt it, so it will definitely burrow down and not come out,"

the Creator Devourer said in a low voice.

"Then what should we do? Can't I just go down there and fight it?"

Su Mo was getting impatient.

"You better not do that. That's no different from suicide. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't have an easy time in a one-on-one fight, let alone in its home territory. It will teach you a lesson in minutes."

The Creator Devourer replied hoarsely.

"So what do we do now?"

Su Mo was a little helpless.

The Creator Devourer replied in a low voice, "Let's go back to the Immortal Blade first and think about it. Judging by this situation, it won't come out in the short term."

"Okay!"

Although Su Mo was very unwilling, there was really nothing he could do.

.....

Soon after, Su Mo and the others returned to the Immortal Blade.

Su Mo convened an impromptu meeting in the command room.

Sun Duo Xiang and the others looked at Su Mo, not knowing what to say.

Everyone had put in so much effort to get this monster out, but halfway through the fight, it chickened out and burrowed down, refusing to come out.

This was completely unexpected.

"Why is everyone silent? If anyone has any good ideas, feel free to share them."

Su Mo took the lead and said.

Kendi and the others exchanged glances, then said to Su Mo, "Boss, the Immortal Blade has already launched several rounds of attacks, but they have no effect. It's clear that it's hiding very deep."

"I know, I need a solution now. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Su Mo replied with a headache.

"Boss, what can we do? The Immortal Blade's main cannon attack is the strongest, and even that can't do anything to it."

Sun Duo Xiang replied helplessly.

Di Luo said at this moment, "Actually, there's nothing we can do right now. It definitely won't come out, because its instinct for self-preservation is still there. But after all, it's affected by negative energy and doesn't have much intelligence. As long as we wait for its injuries to heal, it will come out sooner or later."

"Then when it recovers and comes out again, won't we have to fight all over again? And then it will shrink back again?"

Su Mo replied with a headache.

"That's very likely."

Di Luo replied, also a little helpless.

"That won't work. That's a vicious cycle. We have to find a way to stop it from shrinking back."

Long Ke also said.

"The entire area is a sandy sea. How can we stop it from shrinking back? The sandy sea is so big, it's not realistic to try to lure it out."

Su Mo said with a headache.

"I have an idea that might work."

Qian Chengxue suddenly said.

"What idea?"

Su Mo's eyes lit up and he turned to look at Qian Chengxue.

"Maybe we can bring Xiao Lan over. Its own combat power is extremely strong, and at critical moments, it can hold that monster back. And most importantly, Xiao Lan is ice-attributed. It can freeze the entire sandy sea, so that the monster can't sink down."

Qian Chengxue suggested.

"Okay, that's a good idea. Does anyone else have any other ideas?"

Su Mo thought for a moment and felt that it might work.

"Boss, what ideas do we have? Let's just do it. And Xiao Lan can also drill holes, although it might not be as good as that monster. But as long as it can hold it back at critical moments, we're bound to win."

Sun Duo Xiang replied excitedly.

"Okay, let's do that then. All of you withdraw from the Land of Absolute Death and wait on the periphery. I'll go bring Xiao Lan over."

Su Mo wasn't one to hesitate. Once he made a decision, he was ready to act immediately.

"Okay!"

Everyone responded.

Su Mo then turned and left, heading towards the hangar.

Before long, Su Mo was piloting the Mad Eye Raynhawk, rapidly detaching from the ship and flying towards the starry sky.

On the way, Su Mo was still a little worried, and whispered to the Creator Devourer,

"How high do you think our chances of success are with Xiao Lan?"

"As long as there are no mistakes, there shouldn't be any problems. And I have a suggestion for you."

"Tell me!"

Su Mo replied in a deep voice.

"Next time you fight, try to strip off the Negative God Shard on that monster's head. This will not only weaken its combat power, but also make it lose its rationality and fixate on you."

The Creator Devourer suggested.

"Good idea, why didn't you say so earlier!"

Su Mo's eyes lit up slightly.

"It's not too late to say it now."

"Okay, let's hurry up and find Xiao Lan!"

Su Mo then increased the speed of the mecha, flying towards the Land of Absolute Zero with all his might.

...

Ten days later.

Land of Absolute Zero, mining area.

Xiao Wen and the others were directing their subordinates to carry out the mining in full swing.

Xiao Lan was quietly lying not far away. Due to its presence, almost no monsters dared to approach its territory, so everything was going smoothly.

Just then, a stream of light shot out from the sky.

Xiao Lan then raised its head to look at the sky. Seeing Su Mo arrive, it excitedly stood up and let out a special cry.

Xiao Wen and the others turned to look. When they saw the returning Mad Eye Raynhawk, they greeted him.

"Su Mo, why are you back? And you're alone. Did something happen?"

Chen Shan asked anxiously.

Su Mo waved his hand and said, "Ran into some trouble."

"What trouble? Do you want us to join the fight?"

Xiao Wen asked calmly.

"No, it's just that a monster is too cunning. It shrinks back when we're fighting. I need Xiao Lan's help. Bringing it over will be enough to deal with it."

Su Mo explained simply.

"Okay, then take it."

Xiao Wen nodded in response.
