Chapter 39 Desert Giant Scorpion

The next second, the giant scorpion, which was originally full of ferocity and baring its fangs, suddenly froze. The prey in front of it disappeared into thin air as if it were a ghost!

This sudden turn of events made the already frenzied giant scorpion even more enraged.

Its compound eyes, gleaming with an eerie light, were like two burning will-o'-the-wisps, quickly scanning the surroundings and capturing the slightest movement.

Immediately afterwards, its incredibly sharp pincers and deadly venomous tail stinger launched an attack simultaneously, unleashing astonishing ferocity as it wildly lashed out in all directions without any strategy.

In an instant, sandstone rained down and flew everywhere, accompanied by booming sounds, raising huge clouds of dust that shrouded the entire area in chaos.

After a long while, the giant scorpion finally stopped its frantic movements.

The surroundings returned to silence, as if nothing had ever happened, and peace gradually returned to normal.

However, the giant scorpion, after pausing for a moment, was unwilling to give up. It began to wander around in the same spot again, occasionally lashing its sharp tail stinger against the nearby boulder, trying to find a trace of life, but all to no avail.

Finally, as if giving up, the giant scorpion began to frantically dig at the sand beneath it with its two large pincers, attempting to burrow deeper into the earth once more.

But at that moment, an indigo arc of light appeared out of nowhere without warning, like lightning ripping through the night sky, leaving a sharp trail in the scorching air.

In the blink of an eye, the giant scorpion, which was frantically digging in the sand, felt a blur before its eyes, followed by a sharp pain in its head.

Looking down, he was horrified to find that his head had been separated from his body and then crashed heavily onto the scorching sand.

Before it could react, another beam of purple light, accompanied by intense heat, roared in.

This time, the giant scorpion's slender, curled tail was severed along its base, and billowing hot air rose from the cut, accompanied by a strong smell of burning.

Just then, a faint human figure slowly emerged from the reddish-brown sandstone not far away. The figure gradually transformed from translucent to solid, eventually becoming fully exposed to the sunlight.

The 3-minute invisibility spell had expired. Xi Xi, disheveled and exhausted, gripped the laser blade scythe tightly in her hand. She gasped for breath, her deep eyes fixed on the giant scorpion in front of her.

She dared not let her guard down, and only approached cautiously after the enormous creature had completely stopped moving. To avoid unnecessary danger, she painstakingly dragged the poisonous stinger a distance away and carefully buried it.

After dealing with these matters, Xi Xi began to carefully examine the body structure of the giant scorpion.

Normally, such a giant scorpion should have eight thick and powerful legs.

However, the one in front of us is clearly asymmetrical. Its right side has traces of healed old wounds, which seem to be battle scars left over from the past, causing it to be missing a scorpion leg.

In this way, only two pairs of scorpion pincers, six segments of body flesh, and seven scorpion legs remain.

Xi Xi stood still for a moment, then suddenly raised the light-bladed scythe in her hand and fiercely slashed at a section of her body.

The hard shell was pierced by the light blade, revealing a tender and juicy interior that looked quite fresh.

[Item Hint: Fresh Giant Scorpion Meat]

Seeing this, Xi Xi quickly turned on the light screen camera, took a picture of the scorpion meat, and then shouted in the public screen: " Large pieces of scorpion meat for car accessories and car electronics, scorpion legs for talismans, no bargaining."

The chat immediately erupted in chaos.

"My God, where did you get this?!"

Wow, that's amazing!

"It's this kind of scorpion!! This is the one I mentioned in the public chat yesterday!!! Although I ran away..."

"Can such a big scorpion be deep-fried?"

"I'm a little afraid of scorpions..."

"You can only say that a big shot is a big shot."

"The fried scorpions smell amazing! Even better than fried shrimp!!"

"My God, a one-on-one fight against a giant scorpion?"

"It reminds me of the scorpion soup from Guangzhou, sob, I miss home so much..."

Xi Xi (Ji): "Screenshots from the light screen are limited in quantity, first come, first served!"

...

After sending a screenshot of the item notification for fresh scorpion meat to the chat interface, Xi Xi did not hesitate to raise the light blade scythe in her hand and slash fiercely at the scorpion's leg.

With practiced skill and swift movements, she severed the giant scorpion's seven legs one by one.

However, just as Xi Xi was about to deliver the final blow, a dazzling golden light suddenly flashed out from under the scorpion's abdomen.

The sudden light made Xi Xi wonder. She found a suitable fulcrum, carefully lifted the scorpion's body, and then gently pulled it down a few times.

As the sand flowed away, a mysterious object gradually emerged, eventually being fully exposed to the blazing sun—it turned out to be a treasure chest radiating dazzling golden light!

Oh right, she came here looking for treasure chests, I almost forgot. Xi Xi slapped her forehead as if suddenly realizing something.

No wonder we couldn't find the treasure chest after searching for so long. It turns out that the giant scorpion took the treasure chest with it when it burrowed into the sand. The chest got stuck under its abdomen, which is why part of its huge body protruded out of the sand.

Xi Xi was immediately speechless. She felt that although this giant scorpion had maximum combat strength, it seemed to be a little slow on the uptake...
