Long Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Although the night was pitch dark, he could still see a huge figure in front of him through the faint starlight.
Unfolding the power of his soul and replacing his eyes with his spiritual consciousness, Long Chen couldn't help but take a breath of air when he saw the figure in front of him clearly.
It was a gigantic creature, nearly three feet long, with two giant pincers in front of it spread out like a scythe of death, and a long tail standing high at the back, with its tail hook pointing directly at Long Chen.
Two eyes were staring at Long Chen, obviously treating Long Chen and Xiaoxue as food.
"Desert Giant Scorpion"
Long Chen's heart was shaken as he recognized this desert overlord.
The Desert Giant Scorpion is also called the Desert Scorpion. It is a second-level monster, but even if it is a third-level monster, you must avoid it when you see it. If you fail to deal with it, you will lose your life.
Because the desert giant scorpion is an extremely hidden killer, it can run like the wind in the desert with unparalleled speed.
The desert is its territory. The soft sand is a dead place for others, but for the desert giant scorpion, it is like a fish in water.
Even though it is huge, the soft sand can offset part of the sound, and its six legs allow it to approach its prey silently. By the time the prey notices it, it has become a corpse.
With its silent movement, powerful size, violent strength, and impeccable defense, it is the absolute overlord in the desert.
But the most frightening thing is not these, but the huge hook on its tail. If you are stabbed by that hook, the venom will be poured into the enemy's body instantly. Even a third-level monster cannot bear it and will be killed immediately.
.
The Desert Giant Scorpion is one of the very few monsters that has the ability to fight beyond stages. If it hadn't only lived in the desert, its reputation would not be much worse than Xiaoxue.
With Xiaoxue's sensitive sense of smell and reaction, he was still discovered when he was close to a distance of more than twenty feet, which shows how powerful the secret ability of the desert giant scorpion is.
Ouch!
Xiaoxue's fur stood up all over her body, she let out an angry roar, and her whole body tensed up, entering a fighting state.
grumble!
The giant desert scorpion made a strange sound, moved its six legs in unison, and rushed towards Xiaoxue. It was huge, yet flexible, and its speed was incredibly fast. A pair of giant pincers were like two huge scissors, cutting against Xiaoxue.
Go, obviously in its eyes, the little guy Long Chen was ignored.
Xiaoxue roared, and suddenly a wind blade appeared in his mouth, like a crescent moon spitting out, like a rapidly rotating sickle, slashing at the desert giant scorpion with the roaring wind.
Today's Xiaoxue is much more powerful than when he was in the imperial capital. The wind blades he spits out cover an area of about ten feet, and the force is astonishing.
"Ding"
What shocked Long Chen was that Xiaoxue's powerful wind blade could easily kill a strong person in the Blood Coagulation Realm. Even a strong person in the Yijin Realm did not dare to ignore it.
But when the wind blade struck the two giant pincers of the giant desert scorpion, there was a sound of metal collision.
The giant desert scorpion trembled slightly, slowed down slightly, propped its six legs on the ground, and then rushed towards Xiaoxue, but it was not even injured at all.
“What a strong defense.”
Long Chen was shocked. He was worthy of being the overlord of the desert. This defense would be difficult to break even for a strong person in the Yijin Realm.
"Breaking Wind Fist"
Long Chen moved his feet, and before Xiaoxue's second wind blade was released, he stood in front of Xiaoxue and punched out.
He knew that although Xiaoxue was also a second-level monster, this kind of crustacean monster naturally had certain restraint against fur-type monsters. Xiaoxue was unable to cause effective damage when faced with the fully armed desert giant scorpion.
"boom"
Long Chen's punch was originally intended to hit the head of the desert giant scorpion, but the desert giant scorpion was very cunning and used huge pliers to block its vital points at the critical moment. Long Chen punched its pliers heavily.
The sand and dust were flying, Long Chen's physical body was now incredibly powerful, and the giant desert scorpion was smashed into the earth by Long Chen's punch.
The entire ground rippled like water patterns.
"not good"
The giant desert scorpion in front of him disappeared. Long Chen screamed and immediately flew out. As soon as his feet left the ground, a huge tail hook came out of the sand and hit the air. If he was a step too late, Long Chen would be dead.
Being hit by that tail hook is very thrilling.
"call"
When the sand shook, it was visible to the naked eye that the sand surged like waves.
"Xiaoxue, be careful, it has sneaked into the ground."
Long Chen had a solemn look on his face. This second-level monster, the Giant Desert Scorpion, moves like the wind and has abnormal defense. The desert is its main battlefield. If this continues, Long Chen will be very passive.
Xiaoxue is a ferocious beast on land and cannot display its combat power here. The longer the delay is, the worse it will be for them. If they are stabbed by that tail hook, they will be doomed.
It must be forced out!
Long Chen stared at the ground tightly, spreading his consciousness with all his strength, hoping to catch traces of the giant desert scorpion.
But what disappointed Long Chen was that the giant desert scorpion was like a fish swimming in the water, without a trace. Moreover, Long Chen discovered that his consciousness could cover a hundred feet in the air, but in the sand, it could only see through
About three feet, almost useless.
At this time, Long Chen finally understood why the Desert Giant Scorpion was called the Overlord of the Desert. In this main battlefield, even third-level monsters would have to suffer.
"Xiaoxue avoid"
Long Chen suddenly shouted loudly. Xiaoxue and Long Chen were connected mentally. Just as Long Chen shouted, it had already run a few feet away.
"laugh"
A tail hook poked out from the ground and then retracted. The sand was like water, returning to its original calmness.
Long Chen was annoyed for a moment. If this continues, the situation will be too unfavorable. He and Xiaoxue have become living targets. This feeling makes people feel useless.
Suddenly, there was a sudden movement under Long Chen's feet. Long Chen stepped back, and sure enough, a tail hook came out, almost touching Long Chen's body.
"Let's see where else you can run."
Long Chen snorted coldly and plunged into the desert. He actually regarded the desert as a lake. Suddenly, Long Chen shouted coldly from the sand:
"Danyan"
"boom"
The desert within a hundred feet radius was like boiling water, covered in terrifying high temperatures. A shrill cry came out, and a huge figure jumped out of the sand.
That figure was the giant desert scorpion. Long Chen released the elixir flame from below and used the power of the flame to force it out of the ground.
"Roar"
Xiaoxue, who had been waiting at the side for a long time, without thinking, a huge wind blade flew out and hit the desert giant scorpion.
"puff"
Green juice splashed, and the giant desert scorpion was broken through its defense and injured.
As soon as Long Chen emerged from the ground, he saw this scene and suddenly realized that he had found the fatal weakness of the desert giant scorpion.
It turns out that when the Desert Giant Scorpion just jumped out of the ground, Xiaoxue's wind blade hit the Desert Giant Scorpion's abdomen, which was actually its softest part.
The Desert Giant Scorpion always moves close to the ground. All exposed parts are covered by a metal-like shell, and its defense is shockingly powerful.
Its fatal weakness is in his abdomen, which is extremely well concealed. In addition, it can lurk under the sand, making this weakness even more difficult to expose. This time, it happened to be discovered by Long Chen.
With this discovery, Long Chen no longer hesitated. He saw the desert giant scorpion standing up after being lifted by the wind blade. All its weaknesses were exposed before his eyes, and he had a long sword in his hand.
"Li Feng Zhan"
"puff"
The sword glowed like a rainbow, slicing open the abdomen of the giant desert scorpion and mincing its internal organs. Green juice flowed across the sky and smelly liquid flew all over the sky.
The abdomen was almost hollowed out, but the giant desert scorpion did not die immediately. Its tail hook danced wildly in all directions, and it had already fallen into a violent rage.
Long Chen hurriedly took Xiaoxue back. He knew that the desert giant scorpion had a tenacious vitality, but it would definitely die after suffering such a serious injury.
It's just that crustacean monsters are different from other monsters. After they feel death, they will become insane and attack randomly until they are completely dead.
Therefore, crustacean monsters are one of the most terrifying groups of monsters. Even if their heads are cut off, they can still survive for a period of time. During this period, they have no consciousness and attack randomly based on instinct.
Watching the tail hook flying, the giant pincers smashing around, stirring up dust all over the sky, it didn't stop until more than ten breaths passed.
Long Chen ordered Xiaoxue not to get close, and he quietly walked towards the corpse of the giant desert scorpion. He stopped a few feet away from the corpse of the desert giant scorpion, and once again sensed that its life breath had indeed disappeared, before approaching again.
"boom"
Long Chen slashed at the scorpion's tail with his sword. The sword he took from the man in white was so sharp that it actually chopped the carapace at the end of the scorpion into pieces. He then slashed out with his sword and cut off his tail hook.
The tail hook is as big as a round table, and there is yellow liquid on the tip of the hook, which is the venom of the giant desert scorpion, and a large amount of poison is stored in it.
This poison, as long as it reaches a certain amount, can kill third-level monsters, so it can be said to be a very valuable thing.
After putting away the scorpion hook, the desert giant scorpion lost all threats. Even if it pretended to be dead, it could not pose any big threat to Long Chen.
After looking at the corpse of the giant desert scorpion, Long Chen took a fancy to the pair of very powerful pincers. Looking at its plump shell, he knew that the meat inside must be real.
The pliers shell was the hardest, so Long Chen didn't need to crush it. He only needed to gently cut off the links in the gaps between its limbs.
If the giant desert scorpion was still alive, this would be an impossible action, but now that it is dead, everything has become a piece of cake.
Putting away the two large pliers that were taller than Long Chen, Long Chen suddenly heard Xiaoxue let out a vigilant roar.
Long Chen looked around hurriedly, and suddenly his expression changed drastically.
He found that there were more than a dozen huge figures running towards him very fast. The speed was so fast that he could reach them in just a few breaths.
Oops, the giant desert scorpion is a gregarious monster. How could I forget? Long Chen hurriedly jumped on Xiaoxue's back.
"Run quickly"
Xiaoxue didn't wait for Long Chen's order, already opened her legs and ran away quickly.
However, Long Chen still underestimated the speed of the Desert Giant Scorpions in the desert. A dozen desert giant scorpions, which were also second-level monsters, chased them crazily, getting closer and closer.
If he was besieged by these dozen giant desert scorpions, Long Chen's scalp would go numb just thinking about it. Suddenly, Long Chen found a bright light in front of him, and without even thinking about it, he drove Xiaoxue towards the bright light.
