Three-Tailed Scorpion (1)

"Yes, we understand," everyone nodded and said.

Seeing that everyone had taken Fanxin advice to heart, Fanxin stopped talking nonsense and immediately led them inland.

The sandstorm raged all the way, making it impossible for them to open their eyes. Fortunately, everyone had goggles, so they weren't greatly affected.

"Boss, this desert is so vast. I don't know how long it will take to reach a town," the Little Black Cat said.

It glanced around with its Mechanical Eye, but the view stretched as far as the eye could see, leaving it speechless.

"Hehe, never mind, this is the last stop on our trip. After this, we'll head to the Sabaody Archipelago. There are less than six months until our agreed meeting, so we must hurry on our way, or we might miss our reunion," Fanxin said with a smile.

It has been a year and six months since he parted ways with Straw Hat Boy. In the past year, he has traveled around and visited almost every place.

Time had passed, and he was satisfied. This country was nearing the entrance to the Grand Line; they had finally reached the source.

Therefore, he decided not to go any further, because there was no longer any need to go there.

They had several more months to wander around here. Regardless of their ultimate success, they would eventually leave. Therefore, Fanxin didn't bother to think about it anymore.

If they still can't find a town, they'll just head back home.

"Oh, I see. Then there's no problem." The Little Black Cat nodded slightly and said.

"Hehe, do you know why I came here?" Fanxin asked.

Everyone nodded, indicating they didn't understand.

"That's because this is Crocodile's territory now. He occupied this place years ago and is preparing to control the country," Fanxin said.

When he arrived in this country, he heard a lot about Crocodile. Crocodile was not an ordinary person; he was a profit-driven individual.

He's got his eye on something, and he'll do anything to get it. He's here for a reason. Although I don't know yet, I'm pretty Fanxin this guy has his eye on something here.

What that guy has his eye on is definitely no ordinary thing. So, Fanxin is going to take a look; it might be of great use.

"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.

"I don't know either, but he ultimately failed, was defeated by the Straw Hat Boy, and ended up in Impel Down. If I hadn't gone into the prison and released him, he would still be imprisoned in Impel Down, slowly waiting to die," Fanxin said.

"Oh, so you mean you're going to look for what Crocodile has his eye on, right?" Ren Fang said.

"Yes, I want to go and see. Maybe I can get what I want," Fanxin said. "Alright, enough talk, let's hurry on our way! If you can't hold on, then go back to Wolf Valley! I won't blame you."

It was truly difficult here. He himself was able to persevere because his disciples were strong, but the others might not be able to, because although they trained frequently, they were still far inferior to him.

It's understandable that they said no. But it doesn't make sense that he said no.

"Captain, it's alright, let's hold on a little longer. If it really doesn't work, we'll go back." Everyone nodded and said.

The reason they didn't go back was because it had only just begun; it wouldn't make sense for them to return now. They were, after all, warriors of the Heavenly Soul Pirates, and they wouldn't give up so easily.

"Alright, since you can persevere, then keep going. If you really can't hold on any longer, tell me immediately that you've reached ninety, understand?" Fanxin nodded and said.

He didn't force them, because everyone had a fighting spirit and refused to give in, and he didn't want to interrupt them.

"Yes," everyone nodded in agreement.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's get going!" Fanxin nodded and said no more.

Then, they walked together into the desert.

The desert was dry and hot, and the group grew increasingly impatient as they walked. However, they didn't need to worry about running out of water, as there was plenty of water in Wolf Valley. This time, they were well-prepared for their journey.

They purified the seawater hundreds of times, turning it into fresh water, and placed it in Wolf Valley. This fresh water is drinkable.

They did all this for this desert trip. Otherwise, they would be in serious trouble.

They weren't killed by the navy, but they're going to dry up and die in this desert on their own.

When they got tired, they found a shady spot to rest. After drinking, they went into Wolf Valley to get water from their jugs.

Time passed by day by day.

Before we knew it, fifteen days had passed, and everything was peaceful.

However, on the sixteenth day, a major incident occurred.

"Captain, scorpions! So many scorpions!" A round-faced crew member rushed over to report that a large number of scorpions had appeared outside their camp, swarming in groups and seemingly about to attack them.

"What?" Fanxin Xin was resting when she heard this and dared not continue sleeping. Scorpions are venomous creatures, and being bitten could be very troublesome.

"Ren Fang, quickly open Wolf Valley and let the brothers in," Fanxin said. There were too many scorpions; he couldn't protect so many people by himself, so he had to let them enter Wolf Valley. Once inside, the scorpions would be helpless against them.

"Understood, brothers, hurry up and get into Wolf Valley." Ren Fang knew the situation was urgent, so without saying much, she immediately opened the entrance to Wolf Valley and let everyone in.

Those who were nearby quickly entered. However, those who were farther away were able to enter in time. Those who couldn't enter in time naturally suffered. Many were bitten by scorpions and lay on the ground, unable to move. Clearly, they had been poisoned.

Fanxin watched, then immediately summoned his Diamond Armor. He rushed to the people and took them all into his Diamond Space.

After he finished, he took Ren Fang into Wolf Valley.

Back in Wolf Valley, Fanxin Xin immediately sent these people to Senior Li Kecheng. He couldn't cure the scorpion venom himself, but Senior Li Kecheng's medical skills were superb, so he would surely be able to.
