Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 558: An Accidental Encounter

Food and water were scarce for the Red Scorpion, and in order to survive in the desert, one must first find a water source.

So after Feng Bailing brought up this point, the people of Great Chu Team B decided to search for a water source in the Red Scorpion’s lair.

Relying on memory, the group headed towards the central region of the Red Scorpion Desert, which was also where a Red Scorpion Nest was located.

Screams followed by the hissing sounds of several creatures being surrounded and slain, just as they emerged from the sands.

The corpses of the Red Scorpions fell before Princess Anyang, who nearly fainted.

Although she was a Martial Artist, Princess Anyang had little practical experience in combat, and as they approached the Red Scorpion Nest, more and more Red Scorpions appeared.

These Red Scorpions were not like the juvenile ones that Dugu Xiaojin had slain with a single sword strike earlier; many of them were mature, the size of an adult sheep, and extremely fierce.

When they first encountered them, the members of Great Chu Team B had to join forces, two or three at a time, to take down a single one.

Fortunately, as they traveled on, everyone’s practical combat experience rapidly improved, and later when facing the Red Scorpions, their reactions became much faster.

After half a day, everyone was able to slay a Red Scorpion on their own, and the earlier fear had dissipated a lot.

"We should be very close to the Red Scorpion Nest now. There are more and more Red Scorpions, and my hand is almost numb from slashing. These Red Scorpions’ shells are very hard."

Feng Luochen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and drank the last mouthful of water from his water bag.

"I’ve said before we shouldn’t have come to this godforsaken place. Now look, we’re out of water and still haven’t found a water source. I want to leave this cursed place. Dongfang Li, come with me, if we continue to stay here, we will either be killed by the Red Scorpions or die of thirst."

Princess Anyang clamored.

Feng Bailing pursed his lips.

"Princess Anyang, let me remind you, we have already entered the vicinity of the Red Scorpion Nest, if the two of you go back now, it’s very likely you’ll encounter even more Red Scorpions. By then, it will only be Dongfang Li alone fighting the Red Scorpions. You’ll quickly become a meal in the belly of the creatures."

Princess Anyang shivered.

Those Red Scorpions were indeed strange; the more you kill, the more they appear.

"If you want to leave, go by yourself."

Dongfang Li grew increasingly impatient.

The Queen Mother had instructed him to cultivate good relations with Princess Anyang during this Competition Among Ten Countries, but damn it, this was not fostering relations, this was slow suicide.

Dongfang Li was fed up with Princess Anyang; she was both noisy and cowardly. Dongfang Li had decided that no matter the outcome of the Ten Countries competition, once he returned to Chu City, he would break off the engagement.

He would rather be a monk than spend his life with such a woman. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Wait."

But just as Feng Bailing and the others were about to continue moving forward, Feng Bailing signaled for everyone to stop.

Ahead, they saw someone approaching.

The group instantly became alert. If not for Feng Bailing’s reminder, they would not have noticed the presence of the others.

It was certain that the newcomer must be very strong.

Encountering someone in such a place, at such a time, they couldn’t be here to pursue them...

As the figures got closer, they realized that they were the twin sisters, Wu Zhenzhen and Wu Wanwan.

Wu Zhenzhen and Wu Wanwan, the sisters, were quite interesting themselves— one cold and aloof, the other simple and sweet. Despite being twins, they had completely different personalities.

At this moment, Wu Zhenzhen’s face was cold and silent, intent on making their way.

Wu Wanwan, on the other hand, was chatterboxing away, holding a small compass-like object in her hand.

"Sister, I told you it wouldn’t be around here."

"Shut up."

Seeing someone ahead, Wu Zhenzhen chided, and Wu Wanwan obediently shut her mouth. Only then did she notice the bloody appearance of the people in front of her.

When Wu Wanwan saw Feng Bailing, a smile emerged on her face, and she quickly walked over.

Upon seeing the bloodstains on everyone, Wu Wanwan opened her mouth wide in curiosity and said,

"How did you all end up looking like this? Could it be that you encountered the Red Scorpion Queen? No, that’s not right. With just the few of you, if you really encountered the Red Scorpion Queen, I’m afraid you’d all be done for."

"What kind of way is that to speak? You’re the one who’s done for."

Princess Anyang retorted, feeling annoyed yet somewhat scared.

The Red Scorpion Queen is nearby!

However, Wu Wanwan glanced at Princess Anyang, raised her hand, and with a slap that no one saw coming, Princess Anyang screamed and fell to the ground.

Covering her face, she couldn’t believe that several of her teeth had fallen out of her mouth.

Wu Wanwan waved her hand dismissively and crisply said,

"Who let this bitch out? Keep barking, and I’ll have you searching for teeth all over the ground."

Feng Bailing couldn’t help but suppress a laugh, yet her heart stirred slightly.

She had dealt with Wu Wanwan before and felt that this girl was quirky and playful, seemingly not very strong, certainly weaker than Wu Zhenzhen.

But now, it seemed that Wu Wanwan’s strength was not to be underestimated; she must have cultivated both literary and martial skills. When she moved just now, bystanders couldn’t see it clearly. Wu Zhenzhen, standing on the side, did not stop her, only coldly observing Feng Bailing and the others.

Especially upon seeing the Red Scorpion Blood on Feng Bailing’s face and body, she was somewhat surprised.

The strength of Great Chu Team B was well-known, and everyone thought they would have been wiped out first. Unexpectedly, this group had some brains and knew to disguise their scent with Red Scorpion Blood. With the blood covering their scent, even if they entered the Red Blood Nest, it would be hard for the Red Scorpions to detect them, and even more difficult for other team leaders to track them.

Wu Zhenzhen suddenly spoke up.

"If I were you, I wouldn’t go any further ahead."

Saying this, she walked away with an air of arrogance without looking back.

"Sister, wait for me."

Wu Wanwan hurriedly followed and, after a few steps, turned back to whisper to Feng Bailing,

"Don’t you dare go further ahead; we encountered Lady Nan Feng, that old woman from Beiqi."

After that, she went to chase Wu Zhenzhen.

Feng Bailing’s face changed slightly, and the rest of the team members felt a surge of fear.

They hadn’t anticipated that Lady Nan Feng had also arrived at the Red Scorpion Nest.

"We should leave quickly."

Dongfang Yong said uneasily, Lady Nan Feng’s strength was undoubtedly formidable. If they met her, even if they combined forces, they might not be her match.

But Feng Bailing pondered,

"What is Lady Nan Feng doing here? She isn’t in need of water."

Team leaders had no restrictions on carrying water and food.

"Do I even have to say? Of course she is here after us. You were the one who said the most dangerous place is the safest."

Princess Anyang, while still covering her face, had whimpered for a long time without anyone paying attention and finally stopped crying.

"We have the scent of Red Scorpion Blood on us; how could she possibly know we’re here?"

"Maybe she’s here to hunt the Red Scorpion Queen. Wu Wanwan said it too, the Red Scorpion Queen is in this area."

Feng Luochen almost bit his own tongue. The Red Scorpion Queen was the most terrifying existence in the Red Scorpion Desert!
