Chapter 81: Battle with Scorpion
These scorpions are yellow-brown in color and huge in size. Each one is at least half a person's height, and their sharp claws flash a terrifying cold light in the sun.
Their eyes were as bright as rubies, revealing a bloodthirsty light.
Everyone formed a circle with their weapons in hand, back to back, facing the eight half-human-high scorpions in front of them.
"Killer Scorpion!"
A normal-sized mutant animal, the male is non-venomous, while the female is poisonous.
The difference between them and normal scorpions is that they are larger in size and the males have lost their venom sacs.
The team they encountered on the first day was being chased by these killer scorpions.
This type of scorpion likes to make traps under the sand and wait for its prey to take the bait.
They are social animals and generally will not take the initiative to attack.
You will only be chased if you provoke them, and they will be in a group.
The team we encountered that day must have attacked it or taken the other party's children away, which is why they were chased all the way.
Zhou Xiao asked quietly: "What do we do with them?"
"have no idea."
"Maybe we stepped into their territory and threatened them." Lan Ximeng guessed that some animals have a very strong sense of territory.
For example, lions and tigers, some animals with cubs will drive away harmful creatures that approach their territory.
All we can say is Lan Ximeng's truth. They just happened to appear near the scorpion's nest.
There are many scorpions with cubs in them.
Lan Ximeng and her group not only have a large number of people, but also a person who scares the animals.
The scorpion will naturally come out to resolve or drive away the danger.
"Everyone, show your strength." Animals all have the ability to avoid danger.
Lan Ximeng's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. She kept patrolling among the scorpions, trying to scare them away.
Now they just hope that these scorpions have no interest in them and just want them to leave.
The scorpion opposite Lan Ximeng was frightened by her eyes and took a few steps back. It seemed as if it saw the King of Hell in her eyes.
Lan Ximeng has hunted hundreds and thousands of animals on the desolate planet. She is full of murderous aura and every animal is afraid of her.
Except for the silly ones.
Lan Ximeng's team members followed the order and stared at the scorpion opposite with intent.
The two sides confronted each other for a while, and just when Lan Ximeng thought they would not attack.
The scorpion on the opposite side swung its whip-like tail towards Lan Ximeng's head.
Lan Ximeng turned her head to avoid the attack.
At the same time, he surrounded his hands with mental power, and a layer of mental power gloves appeared.
Seeing that the first attack failed, the scorpion adjusted its stinger and stabbed towards Lan Ximeng's head again.
Lan Ximeng reached out and grabbed the attacking scorpion's tail with her hand.
The whole person remained in the same place, not moved by the huge force at all.
Lan Ximeng exerted force with both hands, and the scorpion's stinger broke off with a "click".
While Lan Ximeng was fighting the scorpion, the other ten people took out their weapons and dealt with the other seven separately.
Hong Li, who has strong physical fitness, will deal with one alone, and the other three will deal with one.
The scorpion whose tail was broken by Lan Ximeng howled in pain and swung its pincers towards Lan Ximeng.
Lan Ximeng sneered, then jumped to the side by pulling the scorpion's tail. The scorpion staggered and its legs faced the sky.
Seeing the scorpion fall to the ground, Lan Ximeng grabbed the scorpion's tail and started swinging it.
"Get down!" Lan Ximeng shouted, and the others immediately lay down with their heads in their hands facing the sand.
Lan Ximeng danced with the scorpion's tail in a ferocious manner, and swung away the scorpions that were about to attack the ten people on the ground one by one.
The ten people felt the whirring, whirlwind-like airflow above their heads.
They all thought of the pain they felt when Lan Ximeng hit them with her snake.
Lan Ximeng also reminded them at that time, but they did not react in time and were swung away by Lan Ximeng along with the snake.
The ten people watched the seven stars fly away and mourned for them in their hearts.
Lan Ximeng spun a few times and threw the scorpion in her hand far away like a shot put.
A shooting star appeared in the sky again.
Lan Ximeng clapped her hands and looked at the sand around her that was beginning to sink.
"Let's go, this must be a scorpion nest, let's go quickly." After saying that, Lan Ximeng pulled Lu Feifei and ran to a safe place.
The others didn't even have time to wipe the sand off their faces and hurriedly ran after Lan Ximeng.
When they arrived at a safe place, Lan Ximeng could see countless scorpions appearing where they were originally.
One of the beasts' tail drooped limply on the sand, and it looked towards Lan Ximeng with eyes full of fear.
"Hey, I thought they would chase us." Zhou Xiao propped himself up on his knees, breathing heavily, "The scorpions we encountered that day chased the group of people all the way."
"We didn't do anything to it."
"Luckily, the ones that attacked us just now were males. If they were females, it wouldn't be so easy for us to escape."
"Yes, once the venom is released, we will be paralyzed instantly and our movements will be slowed down."
"This scorpion is the material for making warships. If we sell it out, it can be sold for thousands of dollars each."
When Lan Ximeng heard that it was only one thousand, she said, "How can it be so cheap? It looks like it weighs several hundred kilograms."
"I don't know, I just know it can be sold for money."
"Speaking of which, we are really lucky. We didn't see any mutant animals with special powers along the way." Li Fangfang was almost beaten away just now, and this was just an ordinary mutant animal.
If she meets someone with super powers, she will definitely not be able to hide.
Lan Ximeng's heart skipped a beat, thinking that what she said would never come true.
"The school is not that stupid. Among us freshmen, who is lucky enough to have activated superpowers?" Ling Xiao gnawed on some dried meat and said vaguely, "But even if someone has activated superpowers, they won't tell anyone. Telling anyone would mean giving up their lives."
"How do you say it?" Lan Ximeng knew whether she could tell anyone about the abnormality, but she really didn't know why.
"I heard from my relatives that there was a top student who told his friends about his special abilities. The friend used this ability to guess the top student's shortcomings, and the student was killed."
"Ah?" Lan Ximeng thought about it again in her mind. "You mean, other people with bad intentions will use the characteristics and shortcomings of superpowers to kill people?"
"Yes, there are quite a few such cases." Zhou Xiao also echoed, "Generally, when awakening superpowers, you just need to report what type of superpower you have, and you don't need to specify it."
"Won't it be known when I use it?" Unless I don't use it, there's no way I can escape it.
"No, no, no, it's useless to just know what superpowers are. You also need to know their characteristics." Zhou Xiao continued, "For example, a fire-type person might be afraid of water. But whether she is afraid of ordinary water, superpower water, or rootless water, no one knows except the person herself. But other people have countless opportunities to try and fail, but she only has one."
"Some people think that it is useless for others to know their shortcomings, so they tell everything to show off, which ends up getting their enemies killed."
"Because of these, other people have started to keep quiet about their abilities."
Lan Ximeng nodded. Who knows if what she said might reveal a hint that might be noticed by others? It would be safer to say nothing.
"Hey, why are you talking about this? Ordinary people can't use it. Do you all want to join the army?" Lu Feifei interrupted everyone's conversation. She hated superpowers.
Everyone nodded, except Lan Ximeng.
