The Golden Winged Ghost King Scorpion's nest had been built atop a tree trunk covered in thorns of deadly poison. Woven from poisonous grass and Poisonous Trees, it glimmered with firelight and measured a full twelve meters across.
At that moment, the Golden Winged Ghost King Scorpion lay in its nest. With every breath through its nostrils, it inhaled the poisonous vapors from the grass and trees, refining them into toxins within its body. Meanwhile, the two triangular golden iron scales on its back absorbed the power of the earthfire within Fire Demon Mountain, transforming it into its own vital essence.
Ning Xiaochuan stood below the nest, his body completely enveloped in poisonous vapor. His clothes had been corroded until they were riddled with holes, yet he did not dare use profound qi to resist the poison. Once his profound qi left his body, it would surely awaken the sleeping Golden Winged Ghost King Scorpion.
Ning Xiaochuan carefully climbed up the tree trunk and reached the edge of the nest of poisonous grass. From close up, he saw the enormous creature sleeping within. The shell covering its body looked as though it had been forged from gold, dazzling and resplendent.
Its snores rumbled like thunder, while golden poisonous mist flowed in and out of its nostrils.
"Black Fire Wood Pearls!"
Ning Xiaochuan was overjoyed. Within the enormous nest, he had discovered Black Fire Wood Pearls—and there was more than one.
The black round pearls were each as large as longan fruit, with strands of firelight flowing across their surfaces.
One.
Two.

Who knew how many Black Fire Wood Pearls there were? But they were all pinned beneath the Golden Winged Ghost King Scorpion.
Besides the Black Fire Wood Pearls, Ning Xiaochuan also spotted quite a bit of Azure Gold
