Chapter 260
“Father, you’re going out of the cave, huh?” Xiao Xiaodong asked.
“I’m going to take a look at the golden-topped red-tailed scorpion’s cave,” Xiao Jingting said.
Some time ago, Xiao Jingting dug several holes beside the golden-topped red-tailed scorpion’s cave and put in some Snow Dream Fruit, which they liked to eat. Now, Xiao Jingting planned to check the situation. It was said that Snow Dream Fruit was colorless and tasteless to humans but to golden-topped red-tailed scorpions, it emitted lethal aroma.
Xiao Xiaodong said, “I’ll go with you.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “That’s fine!”
Before Xiao Jingting and Xiao Xiaodong walked to the first trap, they found two or three small scorpions trapped in the hole.
“They really are here!” Xiao Jingting said.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Jingting and asked, “Does father want to take it?”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Alright.” A few small scorpions in the first hole were only at the Qi Practice realm, so Xiao Jingting easily subdued them.
Xiao Jingting dug a total of a dozen holes and each hole caught more scorpions. In the third hole, there was a scorpion at the Foundation Building realm. Once Xiao Jingting withdrew the trap, the scorpion rushed out and they let Xiao Xiaodong’s little chick tap it, so it would dwindle again.
Xiao Jingting knew that chickens ate scorpions on earth, but he didn’t expect that in this world, it would also be the same.
Xiao Jingting took all the scorpions that fell in the trap and subdued them. After recovering them, Xiao Jingting knew that the scorpions he had subdued were minor and weak ones. There was a scorpion at the peak of the Foundation Building still in the nest, which was a very powerful character.
It took a little time for Xiao Jingting to lure out this group of golden-topped red-tailed scorpions in the batches. After finding out that the number of his subjects were greatly reduced, the golden-topped red-tailed scorpion sensed that something was wrong and angrily came out, allowing Xiao Jingting to catch him in the cage.
Chen Xu looked at Xiao Jingting and said, “Uncle Xiao, you are really powerful, you actually captured the Golden-Tailed Scorpion King.”
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “It’s not much, it’s just luck.”
He took a three-hundred-year-old Snow Dream Fruit to lure the Scorpion King, who seemed to sense that something was wrong, but still couldn’t resist the temptation of the Snow Dream Fruit and ate it.
The Scorpion King trapped in the cage roared at Xiao Jingting. His two pincers were clacking and waving. Xiao Jingting’s intuition told him if he could get rid of the cage, the first thing it would do would be to pounce on him to tear him into pieces.
The little chicken roared twice at the scorpion king, who waved his pincers at the little chicken in annoyance.
Xiao Jingting, seeing that the little chick was beaten, he was not disappointed, but rather overjoyed. If his contracted beast would cower at the sight of the chick, the contract would be useless.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting and said, “Jingting, this scorpion king is very tough! It will not be easy to form a contract with him.”
Xiao Jingting was in the late Foundation Building stage while the Scorpion King was at the peak of Foundation Building. Xiao Jingting was a little weaker than Scorpion King, so if in the process of contract, Scorpion King refused to accept the contract, it would be easy for him to suffer a backlash.
“Don’t worry. There’s still plenty of time, moreover, I have already thought of a way.” Xiao Jingting said. Knowing that the Spirit Cleansing Grass could only be found within the inner perimeter of secret realm that would only be opened in more than a year, Xiao Jingting calmed down a bit.
Chen Xu asked with some curiosity, “What? Why?”
Xiao Jingting smiled enigmatically and spat out a word. “Hunger.”
Xiao Xiaodong tilted his head, thought about it, and said, “This trick will definitely work against Xiaofan but it’s hard to say if it will work against this scorpion.”
Xiao Jingting looked at Xiao Xiaodong helplessly and said, “How can you say that about your brother….?” Although it was true, he did not need to point it out!
Xiao Xiaodong, “…”
…………
The golden-topped red-tailed scorpion, like its name suggested, had a golden head and red tail. The Scorpion King’s position was not won by his strength, but by nature. The Scorpion King was a natural deterrent to ordinary scorpions in the cave and his intelligence was also higher than ordinary scorpions.
An ordinary scorpion had a golden dot on the top of its head, while the Scorpion King had a Golden King character on the top of its head.
Xiao Jingting let a few small scorpions that he had already contracted eat Snow Dream Fruit around the cage.
The king of scorpions saw a few little scorpions beside him feasting without even knowing how to show him filial piety and roared with anger.
Small scorpions became limp under Scorpion King’s pressure but even so, having snow dream fruit to eat, several small scorpions did not eat less.
Scorpion King roared till he became tired and laid on the side drooling.
Xiao Jingting put a circle of Snow Dream Fruits beside the Scorpion King’s cage. Every day, he let the Scorpion King watch as a group of scorpion soldiers would eat Snow Dream Fruits which made the Scorpion King greedy.
Chen Xu squatted by the cage and looked at the Scorpion King inside with great interest as he said, “Xiaodong, your father is really talented, but would this method work?”
