Chapter 7: The Scorpion Man
Fully armed and ready, he looked around, and the air behind and to the left was faintly distorted about a hundred meters or so, and occasionally colored lights flashed, which was impassable at the edge of the space, and he had to go in two other directions.
To the right is a high slope full of gravel, which is so sharp that it is laborious and shoes to walk on.
Ahead is a sparse forest, the gravel is decreasing, the vegetation is beginning to increase, and the eye extends into the distance, and you can see that the ground is beginning to change from a gravel beach to a wasteland of fine gravel, although it is still desolate, but it is better than the current place.
Lin Chen thought for a moment and climbed to the right, he wanted to climb to the highest slope near here to take a look at the surrounding situation.
In just a short period of time, he had a slight guess about the situation of this world fragment, which must be a world fragment without aura, which is called incompetence in the official language of the Tower of Eternity, but everyone reads the word 'incompetent' strangely, and it is generally replaced by aura.
If there is no aura, it means that the fragments of this world are not too dangerous, and there will be no rare resources accordingly, at most some basic resources, such as wood ore and the like.
Of course, basic resources are also resources, and because of the foundation, they are popular hard resources in many territories and worlds connected to the Tower of Eternity, and all lords or realm masters are unlimited acquisitions, and they definitely don't have to worry about selling.
Lin Chen had already thought about it, spend a day exploring this small fragment of the world, if there were no rare resources, the remaining day would be to scavenge everything he could see, and try to get back to his roots.
After climbing up the gravel slope a few times, he just poked his head out, and a black shadow swept towards him, so frightened that he subconsciously fell backwards and rolled directly down the slope, and the weapon on his back hit the angular gravel with a non-stop clanging bell.
When the strength of rolling down the slope was exhausted, he pressed the tip of his sword into the gravel beach and stood up, and when he turned around, he saw a gravel crawling out of the top of the gravel slope....
It was a huge scorpion, about two meters long at the head and tail, with a blue-gray carapace all over its body, two huge pincers, six slightly smaller feet propping up, a thick tail spine behind the tail, a sharp glittering spike at the top, and most importantly, the head of this thing was not a scorpion, but an extremely ugly humanoid face, but it was covered with a thick layer of carapace where the hair should have grown on the top of the head.
- It's a sand scorpion!
Lin Chen had read a book about various dangerous creatures in the Void Star Sea in the family school library, which recorded this kind of monster with a human face and a scorpion body.
This is not the native creature of the Great Universe of the Great Wilderness, but the creatures of other Great Universes that collided with the Great Universe of the Great Flood and destroyed at the same time, and several Great Universes collided at the beginning, although the Great Universe of the Great Flood was broken, the other Great Universes were not much better, and at the same time, the various fragments produced by the destruction and destruction were mixed together, and a large number of creatures from other universes were also scattered in the depths of the void, which the Advent would often encounter.
Fortunately, this kind of sand scorpion man is not very strong, that is, he does not have extraordinary abilities, and his own strength is not very strong.
Of course, this is not very strong means that for the advent, the sand scorpion man is not only much stronger than ordinary people, but the carapace on his body is also very hard, although it is not as good as the steel plate armor, but it is not easy to cut through, and it is difficult for the newcomer who comes for the first time to penetrate its armor if he does not have a good weapon at hand.
But these sand scorpion people have a huge weakness, that is, their eyesight is not good, about 20 meters of vision, and they can't see clearly if they are far away, which can be exploited.
Lin Chen's right hand clenched the long sword forged from a hundred refined steel given by his grandfather, and with a move in his left hand, a round shield slightly larger than the basin appeared in his hand.
This small shield is made of stainless steel, the middle is thick and the edge is slightly thin, there are a few spikes in the middle, the serrated blade at the edge is quite sharp, and a single blow can easily cut off a person's hands and feet, with a total weight of nearly twenty kilograms, Lin Chen has to lift the internal force to swing flexibly, but his internal force is not high, so he can't continue to fight.
The sand scorpion man was extremely excited when he saw Lin Chen, his mouth was wider than that of ordinary people, and inside was a circle of sharp teeth, a drop of turbid saliva flowed out of his mouth, and his six legs bounced and jumped up nearly three meters high and landed steadily on the gravel slope, and two huge pincers waved and rushed towards him.
Lin Chen calmly took a step back, staring at the rushing scorpion man with a slight body, and did not take out a bow and arrow to shoot.
It's best to deal with this kind of full-body carapace creature with a blunt weapon, such as a hammer is a hole, but unfortunately he didn't bring it, the steel accumulated in the Rubik's Cube is basically used up after making arrows and shields, if you buy it yourself, all transactions in the territory are recorded, and he buys it and doesn't carry it, which is a very strange thing, in order to avoid trouble, he simply didn't buy it.
That's the consequence of inexperience, and if he were an experienced Adventist, that would never happen.
But now it's too late to think about this, Lin Chen kept this in his heart, and he must be more fully prepared for the next arrival, so as not to capsize.
The speed of the sand scorpion man was not affected in this kind of terrain, and he flew down the slope, and the two large pincers that opened his head were aimed at Lin Chen's shoulders, apparently trying to unload his two shoulders.
He immediately took two steps back nimbly to avoid the sand scorpion's menacing pounce, and two large pincers chiseled between the gravel in front of him, sparks splashing in all directions.
Lin Chen took the opportunity to step forward with a standard lunge, and quickly handed out a sword that stabbed at the face of the sand scorpion man.
But at this moment, he saw a cold light flashing above the sand scorpion man's head, it was the tail of the sand scorpion man, he immediately raised the shield to block, and with a loud bang, a huge force made his shield hand numb, and he involuntarily took a step back, and the sword he stabbed out was therefore insufficient, only cutting through the skin of the sand scorpion's face, and a stream of cyan scorpion blood flowed out.
The blow missed, Lin Chen decisively pulled back, and two giant pincers smashed where he was standing just now, and the two bluestones were poked and torn apart on the spot, and the rubble splashed and hit his legs.
This did not affect his movements, his feet crossed and stepped out a few meters away, and the sand scorpion man also flew over, Lin Chen suddenly kicked a stone almost half the size of his head when it rushed out, and smashed into the body of the sand scorpion man, making his body crooked, Lin Chen seized the opportunity to rush out in one step, and rushed out several meters away in an instant, and the tip of the sword accurately hit the sand scorpion man's face, directly from its wide open mouth, and passed through the brain.
Lingxi step, a star on the top grade of the Lingxi step in the secret method, he is only now practicing this light skill to the third layer, one step only across a few meters away, if you can practice like the teacher who taught this light skill to the fullest, one step can step out of more than ten meters in an instant, with good internal strength and a good sword, the explosion in an instant is very terrifying.
Lin Chen's light skills and internal skills are not very high, but he has a good sword, which broke out when the sand scorpion's body was unbalanced, and he successfully killed him in one fell swoop.
