Chapter 790 Surprise? Yellow-Rank Scorpion Beast

Ta Yun swears on his backside that his master has no idea what an ugly beastman looks like.

Bah! Shameless! You even stole Beastie's jerky.

The period from late night to early morning is the coldest time in the boundless desert.

Apart from the orc warriors who possess thick fur armor and are protected by the power of the Beast God, the ordinary people of the tribe can only huddle in the sand.

As the first rays of morning sunlight fell, the old wizard, gnawing on a piece of jerky, squinted and continued forward on the back of the orc warrior.

Wu Yue sat on the back of Ta Yun and looked around. Apart from a few scattered withered plants, all that was left was yellow sand.

Suddenly, Ta Yun, who was leisurely walking forward, leaped backward with all four hooves off the ground.

While stunned, Wu Yue hugged Ta Yun's neck tightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw an extremely cold curved blade slash past the spot where they had just been.

If you were to be cut by that sharp blade, your head would probably be blown off.

Yuan Lang and the orc warriors from the surrounding Sand Lizard tribe reacted instantly.

They all stood in front of the old wizard and Wu Yue.

Yuan Lang raised his arm and threw the sandpit onto the sandy ground to the side, then drew the long sword from his waist.

"It's a scorpion beast!"

"Yuanlang warriors, beware of the scorpion beast's tail blade and venom."

The scorpion beast that had just ambushed Wu Yue finally revealed its full form from the sand pile.

No wonder no one noticed it earlier.

This scorpion-like beast is entirely yellowish-brown and lies motionless in the sand, making it difficult to detect.

Upon seeing the scorpion beast in its entirety, Wu Yue couldn't help but gasp.

Goodness, its size rivals that of an SUV.

And then there's that tail, held high with its blade-like edge...

It's an absolute killer weapon!

"It's a Yellow-Rank Scorpion Beast!"

When the Sand Lizard tribe saw the Scorpion Beast in its entirety, they were not terrified; instead, they all cried out in surprise.

"The Yellow-rank Scorpion Beast is the pinnacle of low-rank scorpion beasts. To advance further, one must become a mid-rank scorpion beast, at which point one's combat power and venom will increase by more than one level."

The old wizard standing to the side smiled, his eyes crinkling with excitement. This trip was truly lucky.

Without even searching, they encountered a Yellow-Rank Scorpion Beast, which meant that the sand dunes of many tribesmen could be repaired.

We should have no problem getting through this cold season.

Thinking of this, I chuckled to myself with delight.

The Yellow-Rank Scorpion Beast is very powerful in combat, and its venom is also troublesome.

However, this time it encountered a fully-equipped exchange team, plus the gold-ranked Yuan Lang.

They took it down without anyone getting hurt.

Wu Yue only took the venom and some of the leather armor from the scorpion beast, and gave all the remaining materials to the Sand Lizard Tribe.

Even that part of the leather armor was given to the sand lizard tribe's orc warriors to process.

People living in the boundless desert are very skilled at processing and making leather armor and clothing.

With this unexpected windfall, everyone's spirits soared.

The orc warriors from the Camelback tribe who came to meet them scratched their heads when they saw how energetic they were.

What's going on? Did you find some jerky?

They were all laughing so hard their teeth were showing.

Wu Yue also saw a group of unfamiliar orcs standing not far away.

What's most eye-catching are the strong and tall camels lying beside them.

Compared to the camels I'd seen in my past life—always dirty, with patches of hair falling out here and there—this was a far cry from the ones I'd encountered in tourist areas.

These camel-humped beasts had glossy, smooth fur and strong, powerful muscles.

If modern camels are the ships of the desert, then these humped camels look like desert aircraft carriers.

Upon seeing the old wizard on the orc's back, the group rushed over to greet him.

"My lord wizard, we have brought a camel-humped beast. Why don't you ride the camel-humped beast instead?"

The old wizard nodded to the leading orc, then turned to Wu Yue and said, "Wizard Yue, these are orc warriors from the Camel Hump Tribe."

Wu Yue slowly strolled over, sitting on Ta Yun's back. Ta Yun exuded a domineering and fierce aura.

Although he looks very obedient now while carrying Wu Yue, his scarlet eyes are full of ferocity when he looks at other beastmen and wild beasts.

Both the camel-humped tribe beastmen and the camel-humped beastmen who had just been leisurely chewing their food felt a chill run down their spines.

Although she was wary, she became more cautious after hearing the old wizard's introduction and learning that the woman in front of her was also a wizard.

The orc warriors of the Camel Hump tribe all bowed respectfully.

Wu Yue gently patted Ta Yun's head with her fair little hand: "I'm sorry, although Ta Yun looks fierce, he is very gentle."

The orcs: "..."

Haha, whatever makes you happy.

After Wu Yue finished speaking, she ignored what the beastmen were thinking and only looked at the few hump beasts that had stood up.

They became even taller and more agile after standing up.

Looking at it like this, it's at least twice my height.

With the help of the orc warriors from the Camelback Tribe, the old wizard had already climbed onto the back of a camel-humped beast.

At this moment, wrapped in an animal skin blanket and huddled between two thick camel humps, he reached out and waved to Wu Yue.

"Wizard Moon, would you like to get on the humpback beast's back too? Its fur is very warm."

Wu Yue nodded with great interest.

He patted Ta Yun's head, which was shaking unhappily, and said, "Good Ta Yun, I don't dislike you. I just feel sorry for you carrying so many things and it's hard for you."

I'll ride the camel-humped beast and let our Cloud-Stepping Beast rest.

"There won't be any more Humped Beasts anymore, so we Cloudwalkers will have to work harder."

Ta Yun's scarlet eyes softened instantly: "Aww!"

Waaaaah, my master is so kind! I never knew I was so important to my master.

Then he glanced disdainfully at the few camel-humped beasts not far away.

Hehe, you little beasts, your master only rode you because he was worried about me getting tired.

Then, with light, quick steps, it arrived at the side of a humpbacked beast.

Seeing the other person tremble with fear at his approach, he snorted disdainfully.

Coward!

Then, to everyone's astonishment, it slowly grew larger until it was level with the camel-humped beast.

Wu Yue smiled and patted the big head of the affectionate Ta Yun before skillfully transferring to the back of the camel-humped beast.

Settling down between the two camel humps, I was instantly enveloped in warmth.

Ta Yun did not shrink his size, but instead walked beside the camel-humped beast carrying Wu Yue, looking like a protector.

It would occasionally bare its teeth at the camel-humped beast.

You better watch your step, or you'll regret it if you drop my master.

Meanwhile, Yuan Lang, carrying the sand dune on his back, had a dark and gloomy face.

This Ta Yun looks increasingly unpleasant to look at.

The Sand Lizard Tribe and the Camel Hump Tribe have a good relationship, and the orc warriors of the two tribes are also very close.

The Camel Peak Tribe orc warriors also took the opportunity to seek information from the Sand Lizard Tribe orcs, who were unfamiliar with Wu Yue, Yuan Lang, and Ta Yun.

The Sand Lizard tribe orcs, who had already received instructions from the old shaman, told the Camel Hump tribe about their salt exchange with the shaman Yue.
