It is covered in reptilian armor with weird spikes on it;
A pair of terrifying pliers are sharp and thick, and can cut off a person's head with just one swing;
Its long and knotty tail also carries a deadly poisonous needle, and the venom flowing in it can poison all humans in a city.
The monsters that really occupy the Philosopher's Stone Valley mining area are not the thunder lizards that are rampant outside - they are too big to move and cannot invade the mines.
The terrifying monsters that have truly taken over this mining area are these highly venomous East African giant scorpions. Their flat and flexible bodies can move freely in the mines, making them the deadliest killers in this mining area!
"Husky..." Hal felt something behind him and quickly reminded him.
"Needless to say, I know." The dog-man boy lit a second torch to replace the old one that had just been extinguished: "Have you finished picking up all the things?"
"I've finished picking it up, meow."
"Hold on tight." Husky held up the torch: "Run! ---"
The two teenagers held hands and ran away in the opposite direction of the strange noise! Hal couldn't help but turn his head and take a look. It was this glance that saved them - the sharp and poisonous tail stinger of the giant East African scorpion had stung
Come over here!
Hal quickly launched a powerful sprinting combat technique and used his feet to slip away. The poisonous scorpion's tail was deeply embedded in the ground, and a big hole was immediately corroded into the ground!
"Wow! How scary, meow!" Hal exclaimed. If they were the ones who were stabbed, this big hole would have been opened in the bodies of the two teenagers---they would probably be killed with one hit!
"Hmph...!" Husky grunted, ignoring the scorpion and planning to follow the route he remembered and go back to meet Arthur.
Of course, that monster wouldn't let go of the two lunches it got easily. It chased it relentlessly, and its huge body occupied the entire passage of the mine, making people have to choose a way to escape!
Not counting various combat skills, just in terms of running speed, the four legs of the two teenagers are simply not comparable to the six legs of the giant scorpion. Moreover, the four legs of the two of them are not grown on the same individual.
Therefore, no matter how they escaped, it was a matter of course that they were overtaken by the poisonous scorpion. When the monster approached about three yards away, the poisonous needle in its tail had already been pierced! Fortunately, Hal felt the wind behind his head and desperately ran away
Use combat skills to escape!
Bump! The poisonous needle hit the stone wall, making a muffled sound. The burst rock did not clamp the poisonous scorpion's tail, because the poison in it can dissolve all surrounding objects!
The monster pulled back its tail and saw the two teenagers escaping ten yards away, so it quickly continued to chase them.
As a result, Hal can only use four combat skills!
Judging from the speed at which the monsters were chasing them and the distance from the exit, these four dodge opportunities were simply not enough! Before they could reach the exit, they would be overtaken and killed by the giant East African scorpion!
The situation was so desperate that after wondering for a while, Husky finally made up his mind: No escape! Only by fighting hard can there be a glimmer of hope!
After deciding on such a strategy, he quickly pulled Hal: "Don't run away, bark! Just hide when you see it right! Help me, dodge when it stabs at you, and stop right next to its tail."
!"
"What?! It's too... too difficult, meow!" Hal exclaimed. It took him less than half a day to learn the [Powerful Sprint] combat skill. How could he control it so delicately and run so far?
How far is it and where can I park?
"Hal, I believe in you, Wang. We are friends. No matter whether you succeed or fail, I will not complain." Husky grabbed the leopard man's hand tightly: "Come on, Wang! You must avoid Wang.
!"
A thrill like electric current spread throughout the body of the leopard boy: "...Okay, meow! I will try it, meow!"
The giant scorpion waved its poisonous tail again and stabbed quickly from a distance of ten yards, with great momentum!
Hal grabbed his little friend and sprinted together, using his strong legs to dodge this fatal blow!
Pound!! The monster's tail pierced the ground, creating a big hole three feet deep. Dark green poisonous juice splashed out from the big hole, and even this poisonous juice was extremely deadly!
However, Hal failed to control the intensity of his sprint and hit the wall with Husky, making the two of them dizzy!
"Ouch..." Husky groaned and pulled his head out of the wall: "I'm so dizzy..."
Although there was no pain, the impact almost made him faint!
"Hug, sorry, meow!" Hal quickly apologized.
The dog-man boy exclaimed: "Be careful, it's coming again!"
The giant East African scorpion slapped the wall with its huge claws. This blow was enough to turn two teenagers into a ball of flesh!
Hal quickly activated his combat skills, hugged Husky and flew forward, rolling over from the side, dodging the monster's attack at the critical moment!
However, the sharp needles on the scorpion pincers still cut the bodies of the two teenagers, leaving several obvious scars on their arms and feet!
Transparent blood surged out, and Huskey felt weak. The spikes on the scorpion pincers were also poisonous! Although not as poisonous as the stings on the scorpion tail, this poison can also paralyze the body and make people unable to listen.
handle!
"Hal, can you still run?" Husky asked in a low voice.
"Okay, it seems I can meow." said the young leopard man.
"That's great." The dog-man boy moved his body with difficulty and hugged the leopard-man boy tightly from behind: "Carry me on your back... I will find a chance to kill the scorpion, but... the plan remains unchanged.
Get rid of its tail first and then talk about barking!"
I don't know if it was because of skin contact or friendship. A strange warm feeling quickly flowed through the body of the Leopard Man boy. He blushed and responded in a low voice: "Well..."
Before the two of them could say anything more, the East African giant scorpion waved its terrifying stinging tail and attacked again!
After using it many times, Hal seemed to have mastered the knack of sprinting. He launched his combat technique and retreated back, just in time to avoid the monster's attack! The scorpion tail that hit the target was stuck on the ground, and he couldn't pull it out for a while.
!
"That's it now, meow!"
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Husky had rolled off the leopard man's back, pulled out his big sword, and launched a fierce attack with his combat skills!
Pound!! His big sword struck a joint of the scorpion tail hard! The sharpness of the sword, the arm strength of the dog-man boy, and the weight of the sword itself made it as powerful as cutting butter.
Cut off the monster's tail!
Snap! Venom splashed out from the severed tail, and Husky was about to be drenched all over!
Hal stretched out his hand and yanked the dog-man boy's tail, pulling Husky back!
Snap! The two of them stepped back three yards and fell awkwardly to the ground! The giant scorpion also let out a scream because of the pain of having its tail cut off, and was unable to move for a while!
"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Husky held his buttocks and jumped around, and kept crying: "Don't pull the tail, bark! The tail will hurt!"
The system does not seem to block the pain from the tail. This game does not have the [orc] race to choose from, and Arthur forced the system to add the tails to the boys. I guess this is a system loophole.
"Yes, I'm sorry, meow!" A huge drop of cold sweat broke out from Hal's forehead.
Seemingly realizing something, Husky's face darkened: "Hal, how many more times can you use your combat skills?"
"Only...only one time left, meow!" In order to save his little friend, Hal pulled Husky's tail and unconsciously launched a combat skill at the same time. As a result, the two of them were able to escape unscathed.
However, Hal only has one chance to use [Powerful Sprint] today.
Huskey wasn't much better, he could only swing his sword twice more--because his extremely heavy sword required the [Arm Explosion] combat skill to activate.
And their opponent, the East African giant scorpion, only had one of its poisonous tails broken off.
How desperate the situation is!
Husky sighed. Now the only option is to fight. The worst possible outcome is death.
He hugged Hal tightly from behind again: "Put me in front of that guy. This is the last chance. If we can't win, we will all die here!"
"Uh..." When Huski wrapped his legs around the leopard man's waist, Hal's face became even redder: "Okay... okay, meow."
The giant East African scorpion, which had recovered from the pain, became even more angry and ferocious because of its injuries. The black worm shell on its body began to turn into a dangerous crimson, as if it had been roasted, which was particularly dazzling in the firelight.
The monster roared silently and attacked with two giant pincers!
"That's it!" Husky shouted.
Carrying his little friend on his back, Hal launched his last combat skill and rushed towards the monster's head!
He accurately controlled the direction of his sprint, twisting to the left and dodging to the right, dodging between two terrifying scorpion pincers! The monster's pincers almost hit them twice, but they were both stopped by the leopard boy with the smallest movement.
Flashed past!
He carried Husky on his back and rushed a yard in front of the big scorpion. Then a feeling of powerlessness dominated his feet. He staggered and threw forward!
Husky jumped out from the back of the Leopard Man boy and raised his giant sword high! At this point, he no longer cared about the injury to his left arm. He held the sword in both hands and slashed down with unprecedented strength.
On the head of the giant East African scorpion!
Bang!! An extremely clear cracking sound sounded! That was the sound of the carapace on the head of the East African giant scorpion breaking!
However, this guy's head has not been completely broken, and it is not dead yet! The monster's two fangs have already stabbed into the chest of the dog-man boy, and the poison is about to be injected into Husky's body to kill him!
As soon as Hal got up, he took out his two daggers and threw them out desperately! The daggers pierced the scorpion's compound eyes one after another, and they penetrated a foot deep!
The severe pain from being pierced through the eye made the monster hesitate for a moment! Husky also withdrew his sword and raised it high again: "Die to me ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
Whoosh!! The fierce blade of the big sword is like the guillotine's guillotine. It rubs the air sharply, makes a life-threatening roar, and falls!
