Chapter 273 Good Fortune Never Comes in Pairs
[Complete skeleton of the Blazing Tiger Scorpion: Radiant Orange Grade]
Mo Ming's pupils contracted slightly, a storm raging in his heart. The Blazing Tiger Scorpion's skeleton contained powerful fire-attribute energy.
"I never expected to find the remains of a fire-attribute beast beneath the grassland..." Mo Ming muttered to himself, a hint of wild joy flashing in his eyes.
The value of the animal bone far exceeded his expectations, but the danger was not over; the guys outside could discover him at any moment.
He carefully dug the complete animal bones out of the soil, the heat emanating from the surface of the bones forcing him to be careful to avoid direct skin contact.
With the animal bones completely exposed to the air, the temperature at the bottom of the pit seemed to rise a few degrees.
Mo Ming carefully put the scorching beast bone into his spatial ring. As the beast bone disappeared, a low, rumbling sound suddenly came from the bottom of the pit.
The soil beneath his feet suddenly sank, as if it had lost its support, and the bottom of the pit became even softer.
The gray-black soil churned as if stirred by some force, and an ancient and dangerous aura permeated the air.
Just then, a faint red light flashed from the churning soil, instantly attracting Mo Ming's attention like some kind of signal.
......
At the same time, the fire-breathing wolf camel in the distance suddenly let out a deafening roar!
It was originally engaged in a fierce battle with Gu Liuyun, Guitian, Harris and Li Chengtian, but at this moment it seemed to be stimulated by some force and became extremely violent.
Its eyes instantly turned blood red, and scorching flames spewed from its mouth. With a sudden burst of force from its limbs, it stomped a deep crack in the ground, and the surrounding air was instantly distorted by the intense heat.
Gu Liuyun stood to the side of the Fire-Breathing Wolf Camel, the longsword in his hand emitting a cold, icy blue light, which contrasted sharply with the blazing flames of the Fire-Breathing Wolf Camel.
He, who was originally happily slacking off, was now forced to exert himself, each sword strike carrying a chilling aura, in an attempt to suppress the flames of the fire-breathing wolf camel.
However, at this moment, the fire-breathing wolf camel seemed to have completely lost control. Its flames became even more violent, directly forcing Gu Liuyun's cold aura back.
Gu Liuyun frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "What's going on? This beast suddenly went berserk... Could it be that something nearby is affecting it?"
Kameda, who was facing the front, was the unluckiest. He was short in stature but extremely agile, and he was holding a short sword.
However, the berserk state of the Fire-Breathing Wolf Camel made its movements even faster. With a sudden sweep of its tail, it brought up a scorching storm that sent Kameda flying more than ten meters away.
He tumbled to the side in a disheveled state, spitting blood, and cursed through gritted teeth, "Damn it! How did this beast suddenly become so strong? It wasn't this troublesome just now!"
Seeing this, Li Chengtian and Harris on the other two sides exchanged a glance and then decisively retreated.
Li Chengtian frowned slightly, his voice low and calm: "Something's not right... its behavior is too abnormal. There must be something nearby interfering with its emotions."
The fire-breathing wolf camel spewed forth towering flames from its hump, almost burning away the surrounding air.
Gu Liuyun, Guitian, Harris, and Li Chengtian all retreated with all their might. They all knew that the fire-breathing wolf camel in this state was something they could not contend with.
After driving back several people, the fire-breathing wolf camel quickly ran towards the large pit.
Mo Ming's side.
His eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed intently on the spot where the light had flashed.
As an experienced fisherman, he knew that any unusual occurrence could mean a huge opportunity, and he would never let go of even the briefest glimmer of light.
"There's something else!"
Mo Ming muttered to himself, then bent down without hesitation, gripped the tools tightly with both hands, and began digging towards the spot where the red light had flashed.
His movements were swift and precise, peeling away layers of soil, revealing a deep red outline as the light of the luminous jade illuminated the bottom of the pit.
As the last layer of soil was removed, a card radiating a rich, deep red light lay quietly at the bottom of the pit.
Mo Ming stared at the card, his face expressionless, his eyes showing surprise followed by a sudden calm.
He didn't rush to check the card's details, but quickly put it into his spatial ring.
He glanced around to make sure there was nothing else amiss, then quickly grabbed a protrusion on the pit wall and nimbly climbed to the surface. His movements were clean and efficient, making almost no extra sound.
As soon as he stepped onto the ground and felt the air gradually becoming more turbulent, Mo Ming did not hesitate at all. He turned around and ran wildly in the opposite direction from where he had come from.
He was incredibly fast, kicking up clouds of dust as he ran.
The night wind howled past, and Mo Ming's figure raced wildly across the wilderness, with only the churning gray-black soil at the bottom of the pit slowly sinking.
"Hehehe, all for nothing!" Gu Liuyun, always eager for a good show, started mocking the injured Kameda since he hadn't suffered any losses himself.
"you......"
Harris stared coldly at Gu Liuyun, but remained silent. He turned to look in the direction the fire-breathing wolf camel had galloped off in, his eyes filled with resentment.
He picked up his spear and followed again.
Meanwhile, Li Chengtian, who had the lowest profile, was observing the distance with binoculars.
However, the figure in the telescope was not a fire-breathing wolf camel, but a figure running at high speed.
That's right, it's Mo Ming!
"Interesting!" Li Chengtian chuckled softly and put away his binoculars.
"Hey, what did you say was funny?"
Gu Liuyun's sudden remark drew Kameda's attention to him as well.
"That fire-breathing guy is definitely more interesting!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he sprinted towards his goal.
With Li Chengtian gone, only Gu Liuyun and Guitian remained on the battlefield, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Gu Liuyun turned to look at Kameda and said with a teasing smile, "It's just the two of us left!"
Kameda's face instantly darkened. "What do you want to do?"
"Hmph! What do you think?"
......
Mo Ming ran wildly for about half an hour. The ground beneath his feet gradually changed from a flat plain to an undulating landscape, and he realized that the surrounding scenery seemed to have changed from a desolate wilderness to a lush pine forest.
His breathing was slightly rapid, but his steps did not falter at all until he had completely entered the pine forest, at which point he slowed down a little.
The air in the forest was moist, and the fragrance of pine needles mingled with the scent of earth. The surroundings were exceptionally quiet, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops.
Mo Ming looked around warily, scanning every possible hiding place, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no signs of tracking.
He found a large, leafy tree with a thick trunk and dense foliage, enough to conceal his figure.
Mo Ming skillfully climbed up, chose a branch with a wide view but excellent concealment, and sat down steadily.
He leaned against the tree trunk, closed his eyes, and quietly adjusted his breathing, while his ears kept picking up on the sounds around him.
Time passed slowly, and the forest remained silent, without any unusual sounds.
Mo Ming slowly opened his eyes, and after confirming that no one was around, he took out the dark red card from his spatial ring.
The moment the card appeared, the surrounding temperature seemed to rise a few degrees.
It radiates a rich, deep red light, and its surface is engraved with a ferocious beast bathed in flames, with a tiger's head, a scorpion's body, tiger's claws, and a scorpion's tail.
