Chapter 22 The Gregarious Heterogeneous Scorpion
Although the jungle is relatively quiet on weekdays, if you listen carefully, there are always small insects chirping in the corner, preying and mating. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 From time to time, the narrow sky above the canopy would flash a few birds, large and small, gray or showy, with their wings fluttering and fluttering the air, mixing with other sounds like a small symphony, noisy but regular. But at this moment, the surroundings are like dead silence, with the sound of needles falling, and everything is silent.
Ravia watched her surroundings vigilantly, slowly pulling out the spell "Manifestation Powder" from the magical space and infusing it with magical power, and then the powder was swept into the sky, forming a counterclockwise circle shape, and then dissipated.
"Gregarious xenomorph scorpions?!" Rovia cried out in surprise. The powder dissipated, and a strangely shaped creature appeared in front of it. Three pairs of powerful brownish scorpion feet are slightly open, their huge abdomen is almost touching the ground, they breathe rhythmically, and there is a small black dot lying on top of the almost completely degraded compound eyes, like a mole, and like a living thing. Ravia looked extremely solemn, because she knew that, with their names, none of the creatures that were nearly a meter tall or two meters long would ever appear.
Scorpions are arachnids, and although they belong to the same class as spiders, they have their own different forms. But the "social xenomorph scorpion" is one of the outliers, according to legend, a certain general under the back seat of the Rose spider was drunk and forcibly reconciled with a certain scorpion slave, but only inherited the relatively weak forelimbs of the scorpion clan and the relatively weak abdomen of the spider, the grade is not high but the reproductive ability is extremely strong, but the long-term underground survival has made them almost lose all their eyesight, and they can hardly see anything on the ground.
Sure enough, after a dense "salsa" sound, dozens of "social xenomorph scorpions" emerged from the front. "How did this creature come to the ground for no reason?" muttered Ravoya, who had read a lot of books since she was a child, and could not say that she had studied almost all the creatures above and below ground, but at least knew about them.
"Granite!" The Staff of Clomagus in his hand pointed forward, and the "Granite Golem" at the peak of the fifth order took shape in front of him, and Ravia decided to seize the opportunity to attack. "Earth elemental!" Two smaller fifth-order earth elements also appeared, and Luo Fuya wanted to summon two "granite", but after a spell, the restriction of the forbidden demon forest made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness, and the excessive mana consumption made her hands tremble slightly, almost difficult to hold the staff, and she had no ability to release a second magic of the same level, so she could only retreat and summon two "earth elements" that were not so cost-effective.
"Knock, knock" Granite and earth elementals have no lines, they will only fight and charge from the moment they are built! In an instant, a "social xenomorph scorpion" that has not yet reacted was smashed to the ground by the full force of granite. "Sasha, Sashasha" This strange underground creature also reacted, the seemingly clumsy huge scorpion foot trembled closely and regularly, and the ground under his feet was pierced into dense small pits, and the toes seemed to be bent into some tiny hooks, buckled into the soil. It's not very fast, but it's extremely stable.
Lao Hu also mobilized the little magic power he had left after the "Goblin War", and released fireballs to attack the "social xenomorph scorpion". The inaccurate fireball slammed into its abdomen, sparkling and vanishing, leaving little scarring behind. As an underground creature, the shell of the "social xenomorph scorpion" will more or less absorb some mineral elements, increasing the hardness of its shell and increasing the resistance of some spells.
"Damn, so hard?!" the witty Hu Yu hid behind Lovya along with Kreacher.
Although the summons had the upper hand at the beginning, the "social xenomorph scorpions" formed an encirclement of three or four as if they had not known what was being manipulated. Whenever the Earth Golem swung its fist and smashed one of them into the air, the remaining two would swing their Scorpion Feet and leave a not-so-deep wound on the Earth Golem's body. Although it was not a fatal injury, it slowly accumulated over time, and the earth elemental gradually became inadequate.
"Poof" Another "gregarious xenomorph scorpion" was knocked down by a punch, and then it was beaten into meat sauce by the next punch, only "granite" was still brave, and the scorpion feet of the "gregarious xenomorph scorpion" were almost helpless against the extremely hard "hardened skin" of granite. But as the two earth elements fell one after another, the pressure of the "granite" also increased sharply.
To say that "hardened skin" is strong, it is very rare, and it is extremely rare to reduce a large part of the physical damage while also increasing the extremely high magic resistance. However, this also caused a problem, "Granite" can resist spell attacks, but it is also almost not blessed by buff magic, and can only rely on its own strength to fight. While calmly observing the battlefield, Ravia began to absorb the only remaining magic gem.
Seeing that the scorpion-footed attack had no effect, the "social xenomorph scorpions" began to "hurt each other". The left and right two clamped the more seriously injured "social xenomorph scorpion" in the middle and couldn't move, and then the one in the back inserted all its scorpion feet into its abdomen. The yellow and green juice splashed everywhere, and the injured "social xenomorph scorpion" began to twitch continuously, as if emitting a "sorrowful scream" full of fear.
"Hurt each other?!, why are these big spiders so natural, they will hurt each other if they can't beat them??!" Hu Yu was stunned when he saw this. But things are far from being as simple as Hu Yu thought.
As the wound got bigger and bigger, the yellow-green juice spewed out by the injured "social xenomorph scorpion" also increased, and the "social xenomorph scorpion" in the back row simply put up their dirty mouthparts to "feast". Immediately after that, the abdomen of the "social xenomorph scorpion", which had absorbed a lot of juice, began to contract regularly, and "poof" actually squirted all the juice into the "granite" in one gulp.
It turns out that this creature that should not be in the world has its own flaws. As hybrid hybrids, they can't attack like scorpions that store toxins on their tails, or spray their own venom like some venomous spiders. Their venom glands are buried deep in their abdomen, and although they have a huge inventory of venom, they have little way to eject it.
As if someone was manipulating, a small number of "social xenomorph scorpions" concocted the same method, sucking out the venom of several seriously injured companions extremely cruelly and spraying it into the "granite". The sound of "snorting" continued to stimulate everyone's nerves, and the lilac skin with intricate patterns of "granite" began to turn white and fall off under the corrosion of venom. Head, arms, all the way to the legs, the "granite" began to slowly disintegrate.
"Space Slash!"
Luo Fuya was also anxious in his eyes, and hurriedly mobilized the magic power that had just been restored, aimed at the place where the "social xenomorph scorpion" was most dense, and released the spatial magic that he was best at. "Zheng Zheng" A crescent-shaped white light flew out quickly, and it began to tear the space slightly along the way, until it reached the "social xenomorph scorpion", and all of them exploded. Before they had time to scream, several "social xenomorph scorpions" were split in two in an instant, losing all their vital signs.
Jiao gasped heavily, and sweat poured from the tip of Ravia's forehead and nose, gradually gathering as the number increased, and finally dripping from her pointed chin. Ravia still lacks combat experience, although she has received countless formal combat training from the royal family since she was a child, but the super wealthy Ravia usually has no concept of the magic drain of spells.
"Space Slash" is extremely damaging, but the mana consumption is also extremely terrifying, almost emptying all the magic that Ravoya has just recovered. Almost all experienced archmages will have at least a tenth of their mana left to save their lives when they fight, but Rafia still has less than one percent of his mana. In a sense, the combat power of Luo Fuya, who has lost her magic power, is almost not much higher than Hu Yu.
Although the "social xenomorph scorpion" suffered heavy losses, the fighting has not stopped. The barely humanoid "Granite's" punches grew weaker and weaker, and the venom seemed to drain all of its strength. "Dong" threw another left hook, and the half-arm unexpectedly separated from "Granite" with forward acceleration. Then there was a wail, and the "granite" turned into stone and fell apart.
When the smoke cleared, the stones loosened for a while, and the last seriously injured "social xenomorph scorpion" staggered out of the stones.
