Chen Miao knew what it contained just from the name.
Compared with those Head-Down Curses, Chen Miao was more interested in ghost scorpions.
He immediately examined its contents.
Sure enough, it described how to create Suo Kun's Gu Scorpions-no, ghost scorpions.
Only when Chen Miao reached the end did he realize he might have underestimated Suo Kun's leader ghost scorpion.

At this tier, a ghost scorpion's physical strength far exceeded that of an ordinary scorpion, and its venom became potent enough to kill a human within a few breaths of contact.
