Chapter 1615: Stealing the Brocade Banner

“Huh?”

When the three little creatures’ gaze fell on the distant purple scorpion, they all showed signs of alarm.

Obviously, the purple scorpion at the Qi Condensation Realm level was impressive enough to bring them a significant sense of oppression.

“Woof woof…” The Flame Leopard dug its four limbs into the ground, its eyes fixed firmly on the purple scorpion, as a motor-like growl resonated from its throat.

“Baozi, keep it down, don’t let them find us!”

Qin Hao slapped the Flame Leopard on the head.

“Awooo!”

The Flame Leopard looked at him with chagrin but didn’t retaliate.

By now, the three creatures understood that their lives were firmly in the hands of this detestable human.

“Cough cough cough!”

Qin Hao knew the three creatures were all spiritually intelligent and could understand his intentions, making it relatively easy to execute his plan.

He said softly, “Baozi, in a moment you go and bark at that scorpion, attract it over to chase you, and then seize the opportunity to lead it away…”

As soon as he began speaking, the Flame Leopard protested with “Awo awo,” clearly extremely reluctant.

The hierarchy among Spirit Beasts has always been simple.

Whoever has a higher realm commands more authority and possesses greater oppression.

The Flame Leopard didn’t want to take the risk to provoke a creature akin to the Scorpion King.

However, Qin Hao wouldn’t let it rebel. He slapped the Flame Leopard on the forehead: “You dare disobey?”

“Awooo…” The Flame Leopard was about to cry, not expecting to encounter such a ruthless human.

It could only helplessly “awoo” twice, acting cute and looking at the Dream Stone, hoping Yingzi would come to help.

Yingzi’s voice transmitted from the Dream Stone: “Little Bao, don’t look at me… I can’t help with the master’s orders…”

“Awooo!” Now the Flame Leopard was completely hopeless.

“Squeak squeak squeak.”

The two Pangolins nearby saw this and squeaked with schadenfreude.

This was the first time they realized that running fast doesn’t necessarily yield benefits.

“Don’t be happy yet.”

Qin Hao then looked at the two Pangolins: “Later, when Baozi leads that purple scorpion away, remember to go fetch that brocade banner, make sure you get the glowing pawn.”

“Squeak squeak squeak!”

The two Pangolins protested vehemently.

Qin Hao laughed and said: “Don’t worry, as long as Baozi succeeds in attracting it, taking the brocade banner will be very easy for you.”

“Squeak squeak…” The poor Pangolins wanted to resist but were compelled by Qin Hao’s dominance to agree.

…

Ten minutes later.

The purple scorpion lay on the sand, seemingly asleep, but in reality, it was just resting.

Though it lacked intelligence, its subconscious understood that lately, this world has been tumultuous, those damned humans would surely come to steal its brocade banner.

So, it was constantly ready.

Prepared to pierce any intruder, prepared to protect its brocade banner.

Suddenly, the purple eyes sprang open, the purple pupils looked into the distance.

There, a little red leopard was stealthily making its way over.

Although the leopard moved lightly, the purple scorpion accurately captured its trail.

After all, this was the territory of the purple scorpion.

No intruder dared come here, no one could escape its ears, even fellow Spirit Beasts were no exception!

“Awo awo!” Surprisingly, as the leopard walked, it gradually grew bolder, its steps became heavier, and it started roaring with its mouth, showing a provocative look.

As a Scorpion King, the Purple Scorpion certainly couldn’t tolerate such provocation.

Even if it were a Spirit Beast of the same level, for a creature of lower realm to dare act so?

Courting death!

The Purple Scorpion trembled its body to rise up, its tail arched in a threatening posture, the Poison Needle emitted a peculiar shine in the red light.

Then, without any formalities, it dashed straight towards the Flame Leopard.

“Awo!” That Flame Leopard was apparently prepared, with another fierce roar it turned and ran.

The Purple Scorpion hadn’t expected the other party to be such a coward, nor did it expect this cowardly creature to dare roar at it.

In a fit of rage, the Purple Scorpion sped up even more.

Regretfully, though it was fast, the Flame Leopard was even faster.

As time passed, the Flame Leopard had reached the periphery of the brocade banner, and the Purple Scorpion was increasingly distant from its silhouette.

The Purple Scorpion knew that in terms of speed, it was certainly no match for this creature, it contemplated whether to retreat.

“Awo!” The Flame Leopard’s roar transmitted over, the Purple Scorpion looked closely, and found the wretched creature provocatively staring at it!

Huff puff puff!

The Purple Scorpion was thoroughly enraged, its body scraped along the sand.

“Whoosh!” With a sound, it sprang into action again, vowing to pierce the despicable leopard.

…

Two minutes later.

Seeing the Flame Leopard disappear before its eyes, the Purple Scorpion angrily jabbed its tail deep into the sand.

After venting several times like this, it could only carry its resentment and slowly crawl back to the territory.

But upon entering the territory, its body suddenly froze, its eyes flashing with deep rage.

Gone!

The brocade banner inserted on the hill was missing!

Huff puff puff!

The sand was continuously scraped across, the ground troubled by the Purple Scorpion’s fury became restless.

…

“Hahaha! You three are indeed my good children!”

Qin Hao held the brocade banner, generously praised the three creatures.

“Awooo!” The Flame Leopard cried out in dissatisfaction, as if saying: Don’t assign such dangerous tasks to me again!

“Squeak squeak!” The two Pangolins seemed a bit excited, rubbing Qin Hao’s calf with their heads.

“Baozi, you are really timid, why can’t you learn from Xiong Da and Xiong Er?”

Qin Hao pointed at the Flame Leopard’s head, “Remember, you successfully tricked a Spirit Beast higher than your level, you should feel proud, not timid, understand?”

“Awooo!” The Flame Leopard yelled out, thinking only a scheming human like you would say such things.

…

Blood spurted copiously from his mouth.

The ground was already drenched in blood.

Zhan Wuji sat cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes, a face filled with agony: “That damned scorpion almost killed me here… If I get the chance, I will definitely return for revenge!”

Before the words were finished.

Huff puff puff!

A strange sound emanated from afar.

Zhan Wuji frowned, the sound was somewhat familiar, accompanied by a sense of crisis, could it be…

The next moment.

He stood up, his expression filled with bewilderment.

He saw nearby, a purple scorpion was wildly charging on the sand, raising clouds of dust as if a sandstorm was about to strike.

What is the purple scorpion doing? Why cause such a disturbance?

It didn’t act like this when chasing me?

Could it be enraged?

Zhan Wuji wore a strange expression, just then the Purple Scorpion noticed him, immediately altered its direction, charged fiercely towards him with a broken leg.
