I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 251 Sand Scorpion

"Get out of here!"

Jiang Yuan showed no mercy to women. He grabbed Leng Yue's arm and threw her forcefully into the safe area. Leng Yue bumped into several people before finally stopping.

"Jiang Yuan, you son of a bitch!" Leng Yue immediately cursed. No one would feel good being thrown away like trash.

However, Jiang Yuan ignored him completely, gripping the God-Slaying Spear tightly and bracing himself for the powerful Sand Scorpion's attack.

As expected, the Sand Scorpion, whose people had been rescued right under Jiang Yuan's nose, was enraged. It thrust a poisonous stinger straight at Jiang Yuan's head, as if it wanted to pierce him with one blow.

"Good timing!"

Jiang Yuan took two steps to the side, and the poison needle plunged straight into the ground two meters deep. He kicked the poison needle, trying to break it, but this was obviously wishful thinking. The poison needle of the eighth-level sand scorpion was no less than an eighth-level weapon, and even more so. It was impossible for him to break it with his strength.

"Gather Energy! Wind Walk!"

With the ninth-tier energy gathering activated, Jiang Yuan used his enhanced Windwalking Step to head straight for the tail and abdomen of the Sand Scorpion. The Sand Scorpion also pulled out its stinger and raised its tail and abdomen, intending to attack again.

Jiang Yuan, who was standing on the tail, was carried to a height of eight meters. He seized the opportunity and jumped down with a leap of faith. The God-Slaying Spear in his hand was flashing with a blood-red light. This was the God-Slaying Spear's will that had been awakened after merging with a wisp of earth dragon's essence blood.

Jiang Yuan landed, and the God-Slaying Spear pierced the back of the Sand Scorpion.

The God-Slaying Spear had only penetrated one end of its tip; there was no time to go any further, as the Sand Scorpion's stinger had already reached Jiang Yuan's head.

"Tenfold Hidden Kill!" Jiang Yuan couldn't care less about anything else. Divine energy surged into the God-Slaying Spear, and the Tenfold Hidden Kill instantly erupted.

The poisoned needles fell, piercing Jiang Yuan's back just like the God-Slaying Spear; it was an attack that harmed both sides.

"Gather Energy! Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique!"

Jiang Yuan did not dodge. He wanted to test how good his defense was. However, just to be on the safe side, he still used his energy to cover his body with divine power to prevent being stung to death by the sand scorpion if he was not careful.

The tenfold power of the Hidden Kill drove most of the God-Slaying Spear into the body of the Sand Scorpion. Moreover, due to the instantaneous burst of the Hidden Kill, a huge cavity appeared inside the Sand Scorpion's body. Although not fatal, it was enough to severely injure it.

At the same time, the venomous stingers of the sand scorpions had already attacked. With the additional power of the fifth-order Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique reaching 160, coupled with the enhancement of energy gathering, he was not without the ability to resist.

Clang!

Jiang Yuan stumbled forward. He had underestimated the Sand Scorpion. Its venomous stinger pierced his back and exited through his chest, puncturing part of his lung and giving him a feeling of suffocation.

"Brother Yuan!" Little Fatty panicked upon seeing this and rushed over to provide support, carrying his large shield.

Jiang Yuan frowned and leaned forward, forcefully pulling the poison needle out of his body. Although the poison on the needle had begun to invade his blood and nervous system, the Sand Scorpion was no less injured than him; the Tenfold Hidden Kill had almost killed it.

The sand scorpion wanted to burrow underground to escape, because in its eyes Jiang Yuan was already a dead man. It didn't need to waste any more time on Jiang Yuan; its venom would slowly take the life of this despicable human.

"Trying to escape? Is that even possible!" Jiang Yuan rolled over and landed under the tail and abdomen of the sand scorpion, a blind spot for its stinger.

"Charge punch!"

Jiang Yuan raised his fist and slammed it into the line in the middle of the tail and abdomen. This was where its control nerves were located, and the severely injured Sand Scorpion was no longer able to stop him from attacking so fiercely.

With the first punch, the sound of fine iron clashing against the scorpion's carapace was heard, demonstrating the formidable physical strength of an eighth-tier sand scorpion.

"Then let's focus our energy!"

With his enhanced energy, Jiang Yuan unleashed a flurry of punches, two punches, three punches… His divine energy visibly decreased, and all of this was being consumed by his fists.

The sand scorpion's attempt to burrow underground was repeatedly thwarted. Its tail and abdomen are extremely important to a scorpion, and even a tough-skinned eighth-tier sand scorpion couldn't withstand such relentless bombardment.

The battle between Sand Scorpion and Jiang Yuan affected the surrounding area. Little Fatty, who wanted to provide support, was blocked outside and could not get in. Not only could people not get close, but even monsters could not get close. Those low-level monsters that tried to approach were indiscriminately crushed into corpses by Sand Scorpion.

"Who is this person? He actually fought against an eighth-tier holy spirit beast!"

People who don't know Jiang Yuan naturally have this question.

"I don't know, I've never seen him at Camp 39 before!"

"Who he is doesn't matter, what matters is that Camp 39 is saved!"

"Stop talking nonsense. It's impossible to change the beast tide by one person alone. Everyone just needs to do their best to hold it!"

Some exclaimed in alarm, while others were worried. The situation of the beast tide was now very clear. The beast tide that had been blocked at the back gate had now arrived in full force, and the pressure they were under was unprecedented.

Moreover, as the person just said, it is almost impossible to change the course of the battle by one's own strength. Even without an eighth-tier holy spirit beast, the remaining beast tide will devour everyone.

The only difference is that the strong can abandon the city and escape, while the weak can only defend the city and wait to die!

"Hold on! As long as we hold out until dawn, the beast tide will retreat! Think of our homeland behind us; it's something worth protecting with our lives." Seeing hope, Yuwen Xin regained his composure and began to speak inspiring words.

Everyone knew in their hearts that even if Yuwen Xin didn't say it, they couldn't slack off, because slacking off would mean death.

However, perseverance is key, but human resources have their limits. More and more people are running out of energy, and even rotating players won't help.

The decline began to show slowly, and monsters even built beast ladders to climb over the city walls again. If the last five meters of the city walls had not been completely frozen by the extreme cold realm, the beast tide would have already covered the city walls.

Moreover, the frozen city walls can only hold out for a while. When the beast ladder is wide enough, the city walls will become useless, and all monsters and holy beasts will trample the Sanjiu Camp flat as if walking on flat ground.

Thump, thump, the dull and slow footsteps came from the outer edge of the beast tide.

Jiang Yuan was greatly shocked. He used the Stone Breath to determine who the newcomer was. It was the half-human, half-beast creature from the beast tide. He was already struggling to deal with one Sand Poison Scorpion. If another one came, he would have to risk activating the Wild Spirit.

Let's give it a shot!

Tier 6 Berserk, of excellent quality, amplifies power by 160 points upon activation, lasting for five minutes! The duration increases with proficiency!

Berserk is the most powerful of all amplification skills, providing an extreme amount of additional power. While weapons can provide users with one to ten times the power of their tier, Berserk, as a skill, can stabilize the amplification multiplier at five times that of its tier, fully deserving of its superior quality.

"violent!"

Jiang Yuan's internal energy circulation speed increased sharply, and the sand scorpion's tail abdomen, which had been almost broken off, received his strongest attack.

"Gather energy, ancient fist!"
