Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 444: Expelling the Giant Scorpion

The man took small and cautious steps, walked to the village chief as quietly as a cat, then bent down, put his mouth close to the village chief's ear, and whispered a few words in a low voice.

After he finished speaking, he straightened up and glanced at the village chief. Seeing that the village chief nodded slightly to show that he understood, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard quickly, closing the gate behind him, leaving the space for conversation to the two most distinguished people in the courtyard.

The village chief stood in place. Under his thick white eyebrows, his pair of dark eyes were like an eagle, staring at Xi Yeming intently, as if he wanted to see through his appearance and understand his true thoughts deep in his heart.

"May I ask Your Highness, are you here to enter our ancestral hall?" The village chief's voice was low and powerful. Although his tone was polite, it contained a majesty that could not be ignored.

Xi Yeming met the village chief's gaze without hesitation and answered frankly: "Yes, that's why I came here."

After hearing his answer, the village chief raised his lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. He stroked his long white beard with his hand and said slowly, "Your Highness is a straightforward person. It is admirable that you speak so frankly. However, among the many guests who come to visit us, Your Highness is the one who respects us the most."

Xi Yeming could naturally hear the hidden meaning in the village chief's words. He thought to himself, does this old man not know his identity? He actually dared to speak to him in such a tough tone. Isn't he afraid that he will give him the Nine Clan Elimination Game in a fit of anger?

However, Xi Yeming did not get angry immediately. Instead, he became a little curious about the village chief.

Since this old man knew that he was the prince, why did he dare to speak like this? Was he really not afraid of death? Or did he have something to rely on?

"Your Highness, please do not think that I am deliberately making things difficult for you. It is because since His Majesty came here, there has been a great uproar here, attracting the attention and disturbance of many people. It has finally become quieter in the past few years, but I did not expect that Your Highness would come to visit again."

The village chief continued, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Xi Yeming was well aware of the village chief's predicament. After all, it was a bit too much for this remote small village to be suddenly broken into by a group of outsiders with ulterior motives.

"That's true. I hope you can forgive me for what happened before. However, finding the elixir is of great significance to me. I beg the village chief to allow me to enter the ancestral hall." Xi Yeming said earnestly.

Faced with the prince's repeated pleas, the village chief was caught in a dilemma.

The ancestral hall in the village is a holy place dedicated to the gods of Tiannv Mountain. According to common sense, outsiders must not be allowed to act recklessly here.

Just as the village chief was hesitating, a loud noise suddenly broke out.

"It's not good, village chief!"

Several young men rushed into the village chief's yard like a swarm of bees. Only when they found the presence of strangers did they calm down a little.

"What's the matter with all the panic?"

Seeing this, the village chief hurriedly asked.

"That scorpion has appeared again!"

One of the young men replied breathlessly.

"What? What should I do?!"

Upon hearing this, the village chief's expression instantly became serious.

He had intended to go out and rush to the stone wall to see if he could take some measures to save the situation. However, the moment he turned around, his eyes accidentally met Xi Yeming's.

Xi Yeming raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, which seemed to hide some deep meaning.

When the village chief saw this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he immediately realized the meaning behind Xi Yeming's smile.

"Your Highness, please lend a helping hand..." the village chief said with difficulty.

"Okay, that's exactly what I meant." Xi Yeming grinned and chuckled.

In fact, even if the village chief didn't ask him, Xi Yeming would find an opportunity to drive away the giant scorpion.

After all, protecting the safety of the villagers is also one of his responsibilities.

However, since the village chief has spoken, he will naturally be able to gain some benefits from it, which is not a bad thing for everyone.

The next second, magic power gathered at Xi Yeming's feet like a whirlwind, forming a powerful airflow that lifted him off the ground and flew into the sky as lightly as a bird.

Standing on a high place, Xi Yeming's vision became extremely broad. He looked far away and soon noticed that outside the direction he had just come from, a huge scorpion was rampaging and destroying the stone wall that the villagers had not yet built.

This giant scorpion is crystal clear and dazzling like a gem. Under the sunlight, its shell reflects a charming glow, making it look even more lush and green.

"It's so beautiful!" Xi Yeming couldn't help but exclaimed.

If it were in the past, if there was a similar crystal scorpion monster for sale in the academy, Xi Yeming would definitely buy it without hesitation and sign a magic contract with it to make it his partner.

But now, although the opportunity to buy has been missed, it is not too late.

Xi Yeming took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then flew straight towards the direction of the crystal giant scorpion like an arrow. During the flight, he kept analyzing the characteristics of the giant scorpion in his mind and thinking about specific tactics.

"This emerald green creature is most likely a Gladiolus Crystal Scorpion. I never thought I would encounter such a rare magical beast."

The Gladiolus Crystal Scorpion is a rare species. Its shed carapace can be sold directly at auctions, and the jewelry made from it was once popular among upper-class women.

At least this kind of monster does not exist at the border of the worlds, and Xi Yeming had only seen it in books before.

The Gladiolus Crystal Scorpion was still ramming into the stone wall that the villagers had worked so hard to build, when suddenly something like a cannonball appeared from the horizon and violently knocked it back.

"It hurts so much..." Xi Yeming endured the pain and said, "It really is a rare magical beast. This is more like it."

An ice wall froze open in the blink of an eye, isolating the battlefield and the village, forming a safe shelter.

Xi Yeming quickly scanned the scene around him and found that no one was injured.

"Oh, it's obviously a strong monster but it has no victims?"

His intuition told him that something was fishy, ​​and if the Gladiolus Crystal Scorpion had not been killed, he would have had reason to spare its life.

The Gladiolus Crystal Scorpion growled and then rushed towards Xi Yeming.

"Wind Blade!"

Xi Yeming mobilized his magic power to slash out several wind blades at the Gladiolus Crystal Scorpion. After being baptized by the wind blades, the giant scorpion's speed did not decrease at all.

"It seems that conventional operations can't deal with you!"
