35.Chapter 35: The Scorpion King

The Scorpion King's claws struck Roddy in the back.

The body flew out like a kite with a broken string, and the body didn't even have a tendency to fall at a distance of more than ten meters, until it hit and smashed two small trees before it landed and stopped.

Sally watched as this unfolded in front of her, the muffled sound of a hammer hitting her chest and making it hard for her to breathe - she tried to call Roddy's name, but found herself unable to utter a word with her mouth open.

There was a moment of silence in the woodland, and the Scorpion King, whose head was covered in pits and blood, looked at the place where Roddy had disappeared, and did not seem to notice Sally not far away. Sally, who was holding a dagger in her hand, looked at the Scorpion King, who was more than ten times larger than herself, and slowly straightened up.

At this time, there were no emotions such as anger, remorse, or fear that could have occurred in Sally's mind, just a blank space - it seemed that the scene of Roddy's body flying out was permanently engraved in her mind, and it was still repeating and replaying in front of her eyes...

After the stimulation of the senses, the ensuing emotions begin to invade the consciousness slowly but resolutely.

The chill in her heart spread, making Sally unable to help but stumble a step. But soon, she bit her lip fiercely, suppressed her despair, turned around, and ran towards the distant forest as if she had gone mad - she knew that she couldn't die here, and if she could escape, if she could get out of here, she would muster all the forces of her family to kill all these damned scorpions!

Even at any cost!

At this moment, Sally had forgotten about the chaotic "chores" within the family, and the thought that Roddy might be seriously injured and died made Sally feel a suffocating dullness spread through her chest.

The Scorpion King noticed Sally and hesitated, as if considering whether he should eat Roddy or hunt her down—a moment of hesitation that allowed Sally to escape from her range immediately. And two seconds later, the giant scorpion king seemed to have finally made up his mind, and chased after Sally in the darkness with his hairy arthropods, leaving no longer caring about the unknown life and death of Roddy.

By now that the battle had progressed, it looked like it was basically lost.

When he regained consciousness from the vertigo, Roddy, who was lying on the ground, opened his mouth wide and tried to breathe, but he only felt as if his throat was blocked by something, coughed, and splashed blood from his mouth.

The sharp pain in his chest made his mouth grow silently, and it took almost three or four seconds to come back to his senses.

The body didn't listen to the call, because the spine seemed to be directly broken, and as for how many bones were broken, it didn't seem to matter anymore. His ribs pierced the lobes of his lungs, a hot pain spread from his chest, and he coughed again.

Properties.panel. ”

Roddy understood that he had fallen into a "near-death state", and he looked helplessly at the 4/150 blood volume, and his heart was cold - he finally lost the game because of an oversight. Although the panel's HP was not emptied, Luo Di knew that if he didn't get timely treatment, his HP would eventually be slowly deducted to 0.

Sure enough, I'm still overconfident, and it's really inappropriate to put those experiences two years later to use now.

It's too late to regret it, and Roddy doesn't even know what kind of last words he has left now, but he just hopes that Sally can finally escape the pursuit of the Scorpion King and live-the digital panel floating in front of him is a little blurry, and Roddy looks at the starry sky overhead that is slightly obscured by the trees, and his heart is flooded with many inexplicable emotions... It's the first time I've grown up to think about what the last words were, but what I finally remembered in my mind was the figure I had always wanted to see since I was reborn, but I haven't had a chance to see it yet.

4/150。

The pain in Roddy's chest made his expression distort slightly, and he looked at the experience bar next to him, and the hint that was 32 points away from lighting up the upgrade button was so dazzling.

3/150。

The vision began to blur, and the feeling of being completely real and near-death caused Roddy to forget about the sharp pain in his body and instead fall into an inexplicable silence.

2/150。

Scold... Reborn once, didn't you expect to hang up so soon...

Just as he wanted to close his eyes and wait for the moment of death to come, the number in the experience score column suddenly jumped - the original "1468/1500" became "1484/1500".

What's going on?

Roddy felt like he had lost his hearing, but he instinctively thought of Sally running in the distance - was it because of her?

1/150。

His HP was about to drop to zero, but Roddy's eyes widened at the sudden hope - in five seconds, he would be a cold corpse with zero HP, but before that happened, could it be reversed by Sally?!......

"Die!"

Sally endured the pain of the wound in her calf, raised her foot and stepped on it hard, and then used the dagger in her hand to nail a fluorescent scorpion the size of a child to the ground.

Because of avoiding the Scorpion King, far less experienced than Roddy, she ran straight into the siege range of the previous scorpions, but in order to escape a way out, she didn't care about the poisonous needles that Roddy had warned about, and ran straight over - the scorpion tail unexpectedly bit her calf, and the feeling of pain and numbness hit, but this way rushed over, Sally also trampled on many small scorpions.

Unable to care about the burning pain and the slight dizziness caused by the toxin, after bypassing a large tree, Sally killed the scorpion that followed her in a very decisive and courageous way, and tried to continue running, but her legs went limp, and she sat down uncontrollably.

The onset of the toxin caused Sally to gradually lose due control of her body muscles.

Immediately afterward, the Scorpion King's attack from behind burst in, raising his claws and slashing at the trees above Sally's head with a "boom", and the chaotic sawdust splashed, and Sally was shaken to the ground by the shock and impact, but she also escaped the catastrophe - the flying trunks did not hit her delicate body.

But by the time the Scorpion King locked his eyes on her, Sally was clearly unable to dodge its next attack.

The huge body almost enveloped everything in front of her, when the claws were raised, the entire sky was obscured, and a mocking hiss sounded in the fishy mouth, Sally looked at all this with some despair, and what she could think of in her heart was not her cold father and her brother with a hypocritical face, but the guy who was scolded by herself for being "stupid" a few minutes ago...

In the end, I still couldn't escape...

The sigh in her heart couldn't be spoken, because she understood that no one could hear it anymore, but it was very strange that there was not much regret or anger in her heart, and it seemed that the moment she saw Roddy being shot away, she was mentally prepared enough for this moment.

He's dead, and no one cares about me, right?

The clawers glowing with cold light in the darkness were raised to the apex, but just as they were about to fall with a force of ten thousand jun, the huge body of the Scorpion King seemed to tremble nervously!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and its entire body froze in place violently - and then the Scorpion King's limbs began to twitch, and the two large claws began to swing wildly as if they were out of control, and even Sally could hear the pain from its hissing sound -

What's going on?

Sally struggled to crawl away into the distance, and when she turned around, she saw that the Scorpion King had given up her attack, her limbs twitching and trying to turn around, but she couldn't be as agile as she used to be because of the severe pain.

As its body swayed, revealing the looming figure behind it, Sally's eyes widened and she involuntarily covered her mouth.

Roddy is still alive.

He had a large patch of radiating blood on his mouth and clothes, and he looked terrifying. At this time, his movements were almost crazy - the scimitar in his hand stabbed straight into the genital hole under the hind limbs of the Scorpion King, and not only that, but the scimitar was still twisting five or six times!

The genital hole is the most vulnerable part of the scorpion's body, and although the player knows this, few people can actually attack this position, because the scorpion protects this weak point all the time. And Roddy took advantage of the weakness at this time to seize this fleeting opportunity, and actually dealt a defensive blow to the Scorpion King, causing a heavy blow to it!

At the moment when the health was about to be consumed to 0, Roddy's experience points met the upgrade conditions, and the blood bug of "upgrade" allowed him to instantly heal all the wounds on his body and "resurrect in a full state". This miracle, which cannot be called a miracle, made him disappear directly from the Scorpion King's hatred list, and then was able to give the most damaging stab without the other party noticing!

But this didn't end the Scorpion King's life - he saw that the opponent's health plummeted to 20%, and immediately turned around and ran, rushing towards the wooden spear trap dozens of meters away!

The enraged Scorpion King immediately threw down Sally, who was in a dizziness, and turned to chase after her, but in the distance, Roddy suddenly stood still, turned around and slashed at an inconspicuous vine in the dimness.

The Scorpion King's still running body seemed to sense that something was wrong, and immediately tried to stop the momentum of progress with all its might, but because it rushed too hard before, its body still rushed forward uncontrollably...

The solid wood "spear" fell suddenly.

"Poof!"

I don't know if it was because Luo Di had too much bad luck before and at this moment, this wooden spear was inserted into the carapace connection gap in the center of the Scorpion King's body with great precision, and it actually pierced the other party's body alive!

Blood mixed with internal body fluids splattered on the ground, and the six-meter-long Scorpion King was completely incapacitated by this blow, its huge scorpion tail flicked indiscriminately, but it could only hiss and spin in place, unable to move-Roddy picked up the horned bow and quiver that had just been thrown away when he was smashed from the ground on the side, and stepped forward, coming to ten meters in front of the Scorpion King... Bent his bow and arrows, and began to shoot without saying a word.

At this distance, no matter how the Scorpion King dodged, the arrows shot into its huge eye sockets one after another as if they had eyes, and pierced into the skull!
