CHAPTER XII. The Madhouse 279

In a hatchery full of eggs and pupae -

In the end, Kathu chose to wait and see, even if he didn't have a scholar Tang Sen here, he still had some knowledge of the scorpion's habits. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After all, he had eaten scorpions raw during the devil's training, so he was lucky, and he was no stranger to scorpions.

Scorpions are nocturnal animals, they like the tide and are afraid of moisture, and they like darkness and are afraid of strong light stimulation. He likes to live in groups, is quiet and not moving, and has the habit of recognizing the nest and recognizing the group.

The light in this hatchery is mild, and the moisture in the air feels just right, which is generally a favorite environment for scorpions.

Besides, scorpions usually don't take the initiative to attack casually, and the other eggs with large tires seem to have been affected, and they all start to move, and the large and small imperial scorpions inside are ready to break out of their shells......

Kathu stared at the corpses of the giant insects, which had become a delicacy for the imperial scorpion, but it was left to dry before it was consumed, and the imperial scorpion had also transformed into a similar one, its new body was even more black and shiny, and its size was also doubled compared to the original.

After this transformation, the serrations on the imperial scorpion pincers became sharper, and it turned around at this time, as if cutting bread, cutting the corpse of the big insect into one by one, and then eating one by one, looking particularly enjoyable.

The Imperial Scorpion's actions made Catou feel threatened—when he kicked the Link Worm before, the worm was as hard as steel, and now the King Scorpion had easily cut through the Link Worm......

Neither Kathu nor the dwarf clown dared to make a move, lest they be noticed by the imperial scorpion. They looked at each other for a moment, and Kathu's eyes swept the hatchery, telling the dwarf clown to hurry to find an exit!

The dwarf clown shrugged his shoulders, he was also using the mechanism for the first time, so he came to this hatchery from the passage below, and he also felt quite unfamiliar. Although the overall layout of the hatching room is very similar to the monitoring room below, there is one less door in this hatching room.

The passage that has been closed may be due to the fact that these mechanisms have been around for some years, and after being occupied by the dark green fishmen, they must have lacked proper maintenance, so the airtightness is obviously much worse.

Many tiny columns of water gushed in from the mouth of the passage......

The Imperial Scorpion, which had been enjoying its food to its heart's content, did not care at all about its surroundings, but when the water gradually reached its feet, it became frightened as if it had been electrocuted, and quickly crawled away from the water-soaked ground.

It angrily waved its large, hard pincers, as if protesting against the water it had submerged, but there was nothing it could do, and the damn water had ruined even its delicacies.

After protesting against the water it had immersed, it may have not had enough of it, so it looked around again to find something else......

As soon as it turned around, it met Kathu's gaze, and its two pincers waved and clamped, and it felt like it was gearing up, as if it had found some new prey.

According to Katu's estimate, he originally thought that this warlike emperor scorpion, as long as it enjoyed the perfect food, its originally non-irritable temper would become more gentle, but he didn't expect that the water that overflowed from the monitoring room could not be stopped, which affected the eating mood of the emperor scorpion.

When it can't eat enough, it has to forage again, and the scorpion is a carnivore, and it especially likes soft, juicy, protein-rich small animals.

In principle, scorpions generally do not hunt creatures larger than it, but now the problem is that the size of this emperor scorpion is not necessarily smaller than that of humans, which means that humans can also become its food......

Moreover, before the Emperor Scorpion had not metamorphosed just now, it was able to easily eliminate the link insect with a body size that was several times smaller than the link insect, and if it was the same body shape now, then the creature it could fight, even if it was several times larger than it, it would not be a problem.

After the Imperial Scorpion gave the warning to attack, it rushed straight towards Kathu. It is not as fat and bulky as the link worm, and the link worm still relies on wriggling to advance, the emperor scorpion only needs to crawl quickly, and its feet can provide him with enough speed to advance.

The huge black serrated pincers were clipped horizontally towards Kathu's waist, and Kathu didn't expect the imperial scorpion to move so fast, almost in a matter of seconds.

Kathu quickly fell to his stomach, his hands propped on the ground, and only then did he dodge the pincer blow just now. There was a crisp carapace attack from above behind him, and if he hadn't dodged the pinching blow just now, it was estimated that the whole person would have been cut off by the waist......

The emperor scorpion was also a little annoyed when it saw that it didn't succeed in clipping off its prey, and smashed it down angrily, if it could hit this human, it would definitely smash him flat.

Kathu rolled sideways, and a dull crash was heard on the ground......

He jumped up as soon as a carp was upright, and the emperor scorpion couldn't catch its prey, and it didn't know whether it was anxious or excited, and the two large serrated pincers waved desperately.

The Emperor Scorpion also sensed that its serrated pincers were a bit bulky, and that it couldn't keep up with Kathu, so it changed its attack - using its tail claws, which are the thorns in its tail, and stabbed it fiercely towards Kathu......

This attack was much faster than the sawtooth pincers, and Kathu stared at the sharp tail spike in the direction of its attack, and dodged the attack in a few sideways turns.

When the spike on the tail of the imperial scorpion pierced the ground, it was still deeply pierced, and when it pulled out, a hole about thirty centimeters long had appeared in the ground.

Kathu glanced at the hole, and it seemed that he really couldn't take it lightly, otherwise if he was stabbed, he would be stabbed to death, if not poisoned......

He took advantage of the Imperial Scorpion's finishing touches and kicked it hard at the head, and the Imperial Scorpion was already kicked before it could parry with its serrated pliers.

But this incomparably hard emperor scorpion, after receiving this attack, it didn't seem to have any effect on it at all, originally it was still startled by Kathu's rapid sudden attack, but the result of this immobility made it lift its guard at once.

It seems that the disparity in strength has directly determined the outcome of the victory, and the weak creatures are destined to become the prey of the strong...... (To be continued.) )
