Baleful Spirit Spider Scorpions

"Baleful Spirit Spider Scorpions?" A record Lu Chen had seen in the sea demon beast compendium he bought at Sea Heaven Pavilion flashed through his mind.

They were strange creatures found only in certain places of extreme desolation or dense Killing Intent. They were not beings of pure flesh and blood, but more like "spirit monsters" born from the fusion of Killing Intent and some mineral essence.

They fed on desolate energy and living beings that strayed into such places. Their carapaces were hard, they were incredibly swift, and the energy vortexes in their tails could disrupt divine sense and dissolve Protective Qi. They also tended to appear in swarms, making them particularly troublesome.

Individually, they were roughly at the early to middle Xiantian stage, but enough ants could bite an elephant to death.

There were twenty or thirty of them in this swarm! They seemed to have been drawn by the faint vitality Lu Chen had emitted when he approached earlier. They were closing in from all sides in a fan-shaped formation, their movements nimble and brimming with a hunter's patience.

"Perfect. I'll use you to test my hand—and see how much lifespan the monsters in this Return to Ruins Secret Realm can provide." Lu Chen felt no fear. Instead, he was eager to give it a try.

He needed to familiarize himself with the combat environment here as quickly as possible, and he also needed to replenish some "consumables."

He no longer concealed himself, instead flashing out from behind the boulder of his own accord!

The swarm of Baleful Spirit Spider Scorpions immediately noticed him, letting out shrill hisses like grating metal. The energy vortexes in their tails spun faster as they pounced at Lu Chen from all directions! They were blindingly fast, like dozens of gray bolts
