Small Farmer Medical God

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei speak with such confidence, they exchanged glances and slowly nodded...

Honestly, if someone else had said this at that moment, they wouldn't have believed a single punctuation mark. But it was Hu Xiaobei speaking, so the credibility skyrocketed.

From a distance, Su Hai saw them all standing together and frowned slightly.

"Could it be that they've already reached the treasure location now?"

Muttering to himself, Su Hai quickly pulled out the fragmented map and examined it carefully.

Soon, he slowly shook his head because he found that the place was completely different from the map!

"Since it's different, it means they haven't reached the destination yet, so why have they stopped here? Could it be..."

While speculating, Su Hai suddenly looked into the distance, and in that moment, he felt a hint of danger.

After perceiving carefully, Su Hai's expression changed slightly.

"Sand scorpions!"

After knowing countless sand scorpions were heading this way, he planned to withdraw.

He knew how troublesome sand scorpions are, so he understood staying here might indeed be dangerous.

However, he didn't dare to leave, because he knew if he left now, he would completely lose their trail.

After a fierce twitch of his eye, Su Hai looked at Hu Xiaobei and the others, and soon, he growled in frustration, "Damn it! What's wrong with these people! They clearly know scorpions are coming, why aren't they leaving? Could it be...they can't sense the scorpions?"

With these thoughts swirling, Su Hai felt like there were thousands of 'grass mud horses' rampaging in his heart...

Because normally, the first reaction when normal people encounter so many sand scorpions is to run, but they stayed put...

"Maybe their abilities are insufficient, so they can't sense the sand scorpions approaching; maybe I should give them a heads-up!"

Thinking this, Su Hai prepared to do something.

But soon, he silently sighed, realizing it was too late to do anything because they were getting closer.

"Let's stay here and see what's going on for now!"

Murmuring hoarsely, Su Hai prepared to watch from the sidelines...

Just as he prepared to stand by, everyone next to Hu Xiaobei saw countless sand scorpions frantically approaching.

"So many!"

Seeing the endless swarm of sand scorpions, everyone's heart tightened severely.

Previously, they had encountered sand scorpions, but the numbers were minimal; now, the sheer number was despairing...

With a fierce twitch of the eye, everyone moved closer to Hu Xiaobei.

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei became their only lifeline...

...

"These...these sand scorpions are terrifying!"

"They sure are!"

Lin Ling'er and Gu Xinxin nervously hugged Hu Xiaobei's arm!

Previously, neither Lin Ling'er nor Gu Xinxin had seen sand scorpions, so they didn't know how terrifying they were. Now, seeing the millions of sand scorpions appearing rapidly, they panicked...

Sensing their panic and fear, Hu Xiaobei calmly said, "Relax, I'm here, it'll be fine!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's reassuring words, they slowly began to calm down, though not completely, so they continued to hold onto Hu Xiaobei's arm...

...

"Damn it, they're still not running!"

Seeing that Hu Xiaobei and the others still weren't intending to flee, Su Hai's eye twitched wildly with intensity.

Previously, Su Hai had thought it impossible for so many sand scorpions to appear, but now, seeing the massive numbers, he was stunned!

Migration!

He suddenly remembered a tradition of the sand scorpions—each year in a certain month, the sand scorpions embark on a frantic migration.

"Now...seems like it's the migration day for the scorpions, damn it, this is so unlucky!"

Realizing it's migration time, Su Hai wanted to flee quickly.

But he was also unwilling to leave, knowing that if he left now, he would gain nothing.

"I'll wait here until they're wiped out by the scorpions, and then I'll rush over and grab the treasure map! If I'm fast enough, the scorpions might not harm me!"

In peril lies opportunity!

Su Hai believed they surely had the treasure map, so he desperately wanted to obtain it!

Su Hai knew that these sand scorpions would only attack living things, so they definitely wouldn't be interested in the treasure map...

"As long as I act fast enough later, I'm sure I'll succeed."

With another mutter, Su Hai stared intently at Hu Xiaobei and the others.

Actually, Su Hai could retreat first and return after these sand scorpions had completely passed, but that carried its own risk because the retreating scorpions would stir up large clouds of sand, which might lead him to lose the map!

He dared not gamble!

The treasure map was too important to him, so he dared not take such risks...

As he was watching them, the sand scorpions approached Hu Xiaobei and the others even faster...

Hu Xiaobei saw them and found they were much larger than typical scorpions, with terrifying auras. Most importantly, they emitted a strong scent...

Poison!

Understanding it was poison, Hu Xiaobei realized why they had feared earlier!

"Now, everyone stand firm!"

With that said, Hu Xiaobei snapped his fingers lightly, and in an instant, a complex array quickly formed.

The next second, it surrounded everyone completely, at the same time, masking all their auras...

"It's an array!"

As the array completed, everyone beside Hu Xiaobei felt it...

In the same moment, everyone was utterly exhilarated...

Because now they felt those ferocious sand scorpions were no longer converging upon them.

They knew this array completely concealed their auras...

"Those sand scorpions must be utterly confused now!"

Indeed, they were completely bewildered...

Moments ago, they could still sense strangers here, thus altering their route. But upon arrival, they couldn't sense it, leaving them puzzled...

"Maybe our earlier detection was wrong!"

With this thought, they quickly shifted routes.

Gradually, all the sand scorpions moved on.

"They truly can't sense us, Xiaobei is incredible!"

Gradually, they all totally relaxed.

In that instant, their regard for Hu Xiaobei soared to the extreme.

While they were holding Hu Xiaobei in high esteem, Su Hai in the distance was utterly wide-eyed.

"What the hell, what the hell is going on! Damn...this...this...this..."

His mind went blank!

Su Hai's mind was completely blank...

Even though he didn't know much about arrays, he knew they were difficult to set up, yet Hu Xiaobei had done it so effortlessly.

"Am I dreaming?"

Muttering such, Su Hai snapped back to reality...

In that moment, he saw himself completely surrounded by the endless sand scorpions...
