Chapter 168 Mutant Scorpion



Ignoring Lin Juncheng, who was blown to pieces behind him, Chu Yuan quickly slipped into the tent. The next second after he entered, through the crack, Chu Yuan saw dust rising in the distance, and the sound of crawling echoed through the air.

Ahead, a group of dark figures surrounded Lin Juncheng's corpse, and the sound of chewing could be heard incessantly.

That night, the roaring sound frequently rang out; sometimes one wave ended, and the next wave would begin not long after.

Xiao Jin's headphones turned into earplugs in the middle of the night.

The next morning, a pitiful scream shattered the silence.

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

Xiao Jin instantly flipped and leaped up, his other hand reaching for the recurve blade at his waist. His hawk-like eyes scanned the surroundings, and he quickly pinpointed the location of the scream.

I glanced at the time; it was five in the morning.

No one slept well last night, and Xiao Jin didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning. Hearing the rumbling noise outside, Xiao Jin didn't rush out, but quietly opened the zipper a crack.

The desert morning sun was shining brightly. Just twenty meters away from the tent, a huge figure was wielding giant pincers, its cold, hard iron armor gleaming eerily.

It was a huge mutated scorpion, as tall as a two-story building, larger than any mutated animal Xiao Jin had ever seen.

The source of the screams was also found, and Xiao Jin was identified.

Right in front of the mutated scorpion, a corpse, cut in two, lay on the ground, blood gushing from the broken pieces, staining the surrounding sand crimson.

Three minutes ago.

Zhou Nan quietly unzipped the tent and saw that the people in the other two tents were not moving. He then carefully climbed out of the tent.

It turned out that Zhou Nan had already planned this out. He was afraid of being cornered when he left the safe house the next day, so he figured it was better to leave as soon as possible. So, while Xiao Jin and the other person were fast asleep, he quietly grabbed his things and prepared to slip away.

Who knew that after taking only a few steps, he suddenly felt a tremor beneath his feet, and then Zhou Nan felt himself rise higher.

No! It's not that he's taller, it's that there's something under his feet!

Zhou Nan's heart skipped a beat.

He slowly lowered his head and saw the mutated scorpion, as large as a small mountain, at his feet. Terrified, he screamed, but the next second, he was suddenly cut in two by a giant pincer.

Before he died, Zhou Nan was still thinking that he had ultimately failed to escape.

Over here, Xiao Jin looked at the mutated animal in front of him, and already had a plan in mind.

They were safe inside the safe house, but it would disappear after 7 o'clock. They couldn't stay inside forever, and judging from the scorpion's appearance, it seemed like it was going to wait there indefinitely.

Therefore, it must die!

However, Xiao Jin could also tell that this mutated animal was different from the ones they had encountered before. Not only was it several times larger, but its combat power had also increased dramatically.

Of course, the items that drop at the end will also be plentiful.

If Xiao Jin were alone, she might be interested in trying it out, but...

Xiao Jin's gaze drifted to the next room.

With one more person, not only her, Chu Yuan himself probably wouldn't be able to act freely either!

Xiao Jin was right. At this moment, she wasn't the only one with a headache. Chu Yuan leaned against the tent, wiped the stubble off his hair, and grinned.

This is going to be a difficult situation!

Both men knew the giant creature outside was formidable, but if they cooperated, they feared it might resort to underhanded tactics. However, they couldn't leave it unattended; they would eventually have to get out, and once the safe house's time was up, the giant scorpion was probably even more anxious than they were!

Now that we've figured it out, and there's no other way, let's do it!

After a while, Xiao Jin's tent shook slightly. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a mineral water bottle. Xiao Jin immediately understood Chu Yuan's meaning; it seemed he also wanted to deal with the guy outside first.

Five minutes later, a hand emerged from the tent, and a smoke grenade was tossed far in front of the mutated scorpion. A large plume of white smoke rose slowly, instantly engulfing everything around it.

The next second, two figures flew out of the tent with a 'whoosh'.

Xiao Jin wanted to test the effect of the [Skull Staff]. She raised the staff, locked onto the area where the mutated scorpion was, and launched Ghostly Strike.

Suddenly, a thick, oppressive black shadow enveloped the mutated scorpion, swallowing up all the surrounding light. With a shrill whistle, a group of twisted, hideous skeletal black mists swooped down from the sky with the force of a thunderbolt.

Each wisp of black mist carried a bone-chilling cold and an indescribable fear. They intertwined in the air to form an impenetrable web of death, mercilessly plunging towards the enormous mutated scorpion.

The scorpion's massive body appeared unusually clumsy under this sudden attack. Each impact was accompanied by sparks flying and a muffled roar, as if even the air itself was trembling.

The scorpion staggered under the violent impact, its huge body losing its balance in the air. It wildly waved its pair of sharp pincers, trying to drive away these invisible enemies, but the black skeletal mist clung to it like maggots, refusing to let go.

As the dizziness intensified, the mutated scorpion's movements became increasingly sluggish.

Chu Yuan, who was over there, saw this and admired it in his heart, but then he was not to be outdone.

With a gentle flick of his wrist, a small, brightly colored Rubik's Cube seemed to come alive, leaping into the air and spinning rapidly in the dappled sunlight. Gradually, the chaotic colors solidified into the face of a clown.

Hehehe~ Hahaha~

The clown's lips curled up, accompanied by a strange chuckle, and the Rubik's Cube began to expand.

In an instant, the Rubik's Cube twisted and deformed, its size increased dramatically, until it occupied the entire field of vision.

With a deafening bang, the Rubik's Cube exploded, and a group of pixelated, slender spheres scattered around from mid-air, chattering away.

These small spheres moved nimbly, leaping and crawling, all aiming to approach the enormous scorpion. When they had densely covered the mutated scorpion, they all burst forth with a bright flash of light.

Each explosion was accompanied by a painful groan from the scorpion, and shocking blood began to slowly seep from its joints, staining the surrounding sand red.
