Angele watched on as the wizard walked to him, then he glanced at the surrounding people.

"Well, I will leave things to you in dealing with the wizard we have captured. Let us just mind our own business," he ordered.

"All right." Nodding in response, Liv retrieved a few crystal bones from her pouch. She formed a large circle as she placed the bones on the ground.

Hakeem drew his sword and walked to the side in order to make sure that no one was spying on their group.

The female captain was waiting for her subordinates to report back. She immediately raised her head upon receiving the report.

"We have successfully captured Flame Scorpions, master Angele."

"Bring them here." Angele slightly nodded.

"Yes."

The female captain then passed on the message to her subordinates and deactivated the communication rune afterward.

"They will be here in ten minutes." She looked at Angele.

Angele stood by the deep pit as he patiently waited for their arrival.

The chilling wind at the peak of the mountain continuously blew across his long black robe, but the intense heatwaves coming from the river never stopped either.

The experience was similar to being in an open-air hot spring during winter.

The subordinate wizards returned precisely ten minutes after, coming from three different directions. The Flame Scorpions they had captured had all been tied up with glowing red ropes.

Meanwhile, one of them was carrying two burnt corpses of human-like shape.

They bowed to Angele altogether when they arrived.

"Master, we have captured a total of eleven Flame Scorpions. Please take a look," one of the black robes reported.

After responding with a nod, Angele walked to these scorpions, crouching as he began to inspect their shells.

These Flame Scorpions looked identical to a typical red scorpion. However, it was much larger and better-looking. Its shell looked similar to a neat set of red metal armor.

They were neither struggling nor moving in the slightest bit, as it seemed as if their strength had been sapped by the red ropes.

Angele pressed on the shell of one with a certain amount of force; it was harder than he thought. His strength should be great, yet he failed to cause the shell to crack with his bare hand.

Furthermore, when he approached these scorpions, he could smell a strange fragrance in the air.

The subordinate wizards had all the scorpions lined up in front of Angele. Each of them was more than one and a half meters long.

"Wake them up." Angele stood up.

"By all means." One wizard stepped forth and took out a tiny black bottle filled with gray dust, then he slowly sprinkled the dust over the scorpions.

The dust's stench was that of chili powder's.

After several seconds, the Flame Scorpions started moving around again.

"Hiss...Hisssss..." They began making noises right after being awoken.

"Are they sentient?" Angele creased his forehead upon asking.

"They should not be but perhaps they have their own means of communication," Liv explained.

"Well, do any of you knows how to communicate with them?" Angele trailed his eyes over his surroundings.
