Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Take off the Cloak!
Seeing their companion pierced straight through the body, the two men were greatly alarmed, but at that moment, they couldn’t afford to be shocked or anything else and hurriedly retreated backward.
——Their strength was comparable, so with one companion seriously injured by a single strike, they weren’t faring much better.
Fortunately, the Fire Rock Scorpion’s tail sting had already expended much of its power, allowing the two men to escape.
“Ah!” The man who was stung was still screaming miserably. His body floated with the movement of the tail sting, blood spurting everywhere, a ghastly sight.
“Quick, save him!” Liu Jingwen shouted loudly.
The other two men were both retreating, who would dare to move forward?
Liu Jingwen had no choice but to look at Shi Hao, “You, go help quickly!”
“Me?” Shi Hao pointed to his nose, “I’m just at the Breaking the Extreme level. I’m no match for them, let alone better.”
Liu Jingwen was speechless. At this point, she naturally started to doubt whether Shi Hao was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. How could it be such a coincidence that as soon as her three companions stepped up, they encountered such a ferocious Fire Rock Scorpion?
Just then, the Fire Rock Scorpion charged at them as well.
Su Manman hurriedly hid behind Shi Hao; of course, a girl shouldn’t be involved in fighting and killing.
Whoosh, a sting attacked.
Shi Hao stretched out his hand with practiced ease, and with a twist, the tail sting came into his grasp.
Effortless and enjoyable.
He then casually tossed it aside, and the man pierced by the tail sting was thrown to the ground, moaning in pain.
The Fire Shore Scorpion immediately knew Shi Hao was not to be trifled with, completely different from the other softies. It hurriedly retreated, its six legs flailing, and soon it had run out of sight.
With the crisis resolved, Liu Jingwen and the others all sighed in relief, but the injured person was still screaming in agony. Not only had his body been pierced, but there was also deadly poison in the scorpion’s sting.
“You!” Both Liu Jingwen and the other two men looked at Shi Hao in shock.
Now they could see how strong Shi Hao really was.
Damn Breaking the Extreme level!
The two men were even more horrified. How had they been treating Shi Hao before?
To what extent had their attitudes been foul?
What if Shi Hao decided to settle the score with them?
Damn, you’re so strong, why the hell did you pretend to be just at the Breaking the Extreme level?
True show-off.
Shi Hao smiled and walked away.
After such an incident, it was clear that these four people couldn’t possibly continue traveling with him.
Liu Jingwen and the others did not try to keep him, and for the three men, they were even more relieved that Shi Hao just walked away without causing them trouble.
“Ah!” The injured man screamed again in pain.
Su Manman naturally followed Shi Hao, and after walking some distance, she couldn’t help asking, “That person is injured. Aren’t you going to save him?”
Shi Hao smiled, “Entering a secret realm for adventure, one should be prepared for injury or even death. I’m not the Wan Family’s living Buddha, how could I possibly save everyone? Besides, I’m not acquainted with them.”
He had no intention of doing evil, but he was not the kind to indiscriminately do good either.
Su Manman uttered an “oh” and then asked, “What if I’m in danger, would you save me?”
“Save,” Shi Hao nodded, “You gave me an Imperial Fire Pill, so at the very least, I’ll save you three times.”
This pill could not only protect against fire but also boost his cultivation, and might even raise it by two minor levels. Therefore, to Shi Hao, he owed her a huge favor.
To repay kindness was Shi Hao’s principle in life.
Su Manman stopped talking and just silently followed Shi Hao.
They walked on and on, the greatest danger in this place being the high heat radiating from the lava, which over time could throw the body’s functions into complete chaos. Forget maintaining combat power; they might even die.
Therefore, it was necessary to constantly counteract it with Elemental Power, which was a significant drain.
However, Shi Hao and his companion did not have this problem, as they had taken the Imperial Fire Pill. They were fearless against the heat, and thus they moved swiftly, exploring the cave for a way out or perhaps treasures.
But there were just too many forks in the road; after wandering for the better part of half a day, they were still aimlessly wandering this vast cavern.
“This is so boring,” Su Manman had been interested at first, but now she resembled a sick cat, completely lacking in spirit.
Shi Hao chuckled, “We’re not here to play, after all.”
Su Manman’s eyes widened in a shocked expression, as if to say, are you kidding me? If secret realms aren’t for fun, what are they for?
Shi Hao couldn’t help but think of the Imperial Fire Pill. Alright, for others it might be an adventure, but for her, it was probably just a game.
“Hmm?” He stopped in his tracks and listened intently.

“What is it?” Su Manman asked.
“Someone is coming this way,” Shi Hao gestured with his hand, his face slightly tense.
Because not only those from Soul Nurturing and Other Shore had entered here, but also the powerful beings from Self-Observation.
What gave Shi Hao some confidence was that this was a cave; his beam of light attack could still be very effective, and having taken the Imperial Fire Pill, he didn’t need to expend extra energy to counter the high temperatures.
But just to be safe, Shi Hao still draped his cloak over himself.
“Aren’t you hot?” asked Su Manman.
Uh… was now really the time to consider this question?
It was just a breath’s time before a person came walking toward them from the front.
This was a man nearing thirty, burly, but looking quite wretched due to the scorching heat, moving with great difficulty.
A member of the Ceng Family.
Shi Hao immediately noted in his mind; he was not unfamiliar with the people from the Lu and Ceng families, though he did not know this man’s name.
The man from the Ceng Family noticed Shi Hao and his companion, his gaze first swept over Su Manman’s face, and when he found her appearance to be ordinary, he lost interest and shifted his attention to Shi Hao.
Seeing the other party in a cloak, with his face hidden, he frowned and commanded, “Take off the cloak.”
“Why?” Shi Hao asked.
“Because I said so!” the man declared arrogantly.
Shi Hao shrugged, “Are you sure you want to do this?”
“No more nonsense!” the man said coldly.
“Well, don’t regret it,” Shi Hao reached out and removed the cloak.
“Shi Hao!” The man immediately recognized Shi Hao, his face showing shock, “Impossible, weren’t you crippled?”
Shi Hao chuckled, “That’s a long story.”
The man showed an expression of extreme wariness. Shi Hao was someone who could take two hits from Lu Yun, only getting crippled on the third, and from the looks of it, this man had caught all three strikes.
How terrifying was that combat power?
Keep in mind, he was merely at the Soul Nurturing realm, and only at five steps at that.
How could he not fear facing Shi Hao?
He slowly backed away, then suddenly turned and ran.
He dared not fight Shi Hao, but as long as he spread the news that Shi Hao wasn’t crippled, the powerful members of the Lu Family would surely take action and eliminate Shi Hao.
