Chapter 118: The Persistent Leader

In the darkness, there was a dim glow.

The leader of the scorpion and the two scorpions were armed with crystals and spears, and they looked nervously at their surroundings, where only the sound of their hearts beating could be heard.

Just now, one of them was gone, and the moment it disappeared, it let out a terrible scream, as if it was in great pain, and when the leader and the other two scorpions reacted, only a pool of blood remained on the ground.

There's definitely scary creatures lurking here, at least that's what they think.

But the leader didn't think about retreating, it held up the crystal, and carefully observed its surroundings, still trying to find the spy who had escaped earlier.

'Da Da Da ......'

A small sound made the scorpions tense their nerves instantly, and they simultaneously directed the light of the crystals in the direction from which the sound came...... But I didn't see anything.

It's really interesting.

Lynn's spy hid behind a large crystalline stone, chewing on the corpses of the scorpions he had just killed, while observing their every move with sound waves.

I don't know why the leader is so obsessed with catching the Spy, the Spy should be just a scorpion driven crazy by the Illusion Crystal, why did they catch it?

But because of this, it puts them in a difficult situation.

The spy could easily come and go in the dark shadows, but the light of the crystal in the scorpion's hand was getting dimmer and dimmer, I don't know why the crystal was glowing, but it obviously didn't last very long, and if they fell into complete darkness, Lin believed that they would be almost dead.

The eyes of the standing scorpion do not have night vision. Other perceptions are not strong. They don't have the skills that most cave creatures should have. It turns out that they live in a very bright place...... This seems to be a little different from Lynn's impression of the sub-special group living in the deep sea.

It doesn't matter, it's time to finish off one of them again.

Now the three standing scorpions were back to back, and they lit up all the surroundings with their light, and they thought that there would be no dead ends, but ......

The Spy walked over to a nearby crystal, almost the edge of the light source, then reached out and pulled his head off and placed it on the ground, and the Spy's body ran behind the other crystal......

"Ah——!!!h The head on the ground suddenly let out a violent scream. The three scorpions immediately looked in the direction of their heads, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Spy's body burst out of the crystal, quickly approaching the back of one of the scorpions, and the hook of the tail pierced its throat in an instant.

It didn't even have a chance to scream, and the Spy quickly dragged the fallen body away and into the shadows.

When the leader and the remaining scorpion turned their heads to look, they realized that another companion had disappeared.

The Spy had placed the body far away, and then crawled back to put his head back onto his body.

This sneak attack feels really funny...... Next, Lynn felt like she didn't have to do it anymore.

The remaining two standing scorpions were terrified to the extreme. First he was startled by the screams, and then he watched his companion disappear. They obviously can't stand the feeling.

"Ahh A standing scorpion screamed, and it turned and fled in the direction it was coming, but was caught by the tail by the leader.

Although the leader was also terrified, he tried his best to suppress this feeling, and he pulled the standing scorpion back, pressed its body and shouted at it, "Hmm! Gollum! ”

"Uh-huh!" The scorpion struggled desperately, it obviously didn't want to stay here any longer, but the leader wouldn't let it run, and the two of them quarreled.

They really showed their true nature, these standing scorpions are really troublesome, the two companions are dead, and the remaining two are still arguing over whether to escape...... These creatures are really interesting.

Their best decision now was to flee back, but I wonder why the leader wouldn't flee? And don't run away with your companions? There are more than spies in this environment, and I don't know when a ribbed centipede might appear.

'Smack! ’

Suddenly, the standing scorpion, which was held down by the leader, suddenly grabbed a piece of crystal next to it and smashed it into the leader's face on the way to the continuous struggle, and the crystal made some cracks in the carapace of its face, and blood slowly flowed out of it......

The leader became extremely angry at this moment, and several of its hands also grabbed a few nearby crystals and smashed them at this standing scorpion, the leader's strength was obviously much greater, and under the successive slams, the cracks on the head armor of this standing scorpion became bigger and bigger, and finally the whole thing burst open.

When the leader stopped, the ground was covered with the blood of the scorpion, which had become a corpse with a rotten head.

…… They're still crazy.

For this phenomenon, Lynn felt that there was only one word suitable to describe them.

Perhaps this phenomenon can be calculated, probably after losing their brains at the beginning, all the scorpions are indeed crazy, strictly speaking, they are not crazy, they are just unable to decide who commands whom, they do not have the habit of electing a new leader, and after a long time they become like that.

But there are still a small number of them who are aware of the problem, and they elect a leader, and break away from the original group of standing scorpions, to this place full of red crystals, form a small 'village', and hunt the creatures that infest here, leaving the strife and noise, and living a safe life.

This makes sense, the standing scorpions with crystal spears that Lin saw before are relatively normal, and they can assign work under the command of the leader, but in the end, they don't know much about command, and they will still argue at critical times, and they will have a sense of wanting to run and not wanting to run, instead of thinking about which is the best.

The leader looked at the standing scorpion on the ground that had been shot in the head, it took a long time to react, it picked up the crystal spear and the glowing crystal on the ground, and slowly stood up, looking at the surroundings.

It still has no intention of escaping? Why is it so obsessed with the idea of chasing spies...... Not to mention killing the same kind for this, don't you even care about your own life?

Then there was no way, and Lin felt the need to figure out what was going on with this leader.

However, it takes a long time to create classes like the Brain Reader, and it needs to make sure its brain is alive until then.

What should be done? Lynn had already thought of a solution.

The Spy slowly stepped out from behind the crystallized stone, approaching the leader whose hands were stained with the blood of his kind......

…… After a day and night......

Near the red crystallized village, a large group of standing scorpions were anxiously watching the dark depths of the cavern, and although they looked very worried, none of them were willing to enter the depths of the dark cavern to find their leader.

They have been waiting for a long time, and some of the standing scorpions have stopped waiting, but at this time...... A figure appeared in the darkness.

"Oooooooooo!!oo The first scorpion to see this figure cheered, and the others immediately looked in this direction, only to see the leader slowly coming from the darkness.

Its carapace was stained with blood, and all the scorpions gathered around it to ask questions, but the leader said nothing, and silently walked through the scorpion swarm, back to the largest crystallization house where it was.

Seems to have managed to blend in.

Now Lin is in a special situation, the spy does occupy the leader's body, but does not damage its brain, but dissolves the leader's body structure and replaces it with its own structure, but the leader's head is still kept by Lin, and continues to feed the brain to keep it alive.

Now it can be said that only the head of this whole body belongs to the leader, and the other parts belong to the spy, but the mouth and eyesight of the head have also been replaced by Lynn to the spy, otherwise the leader will definitely scream.

Lin felt that if she wanted to figure out the secrets of the brain, it was the best way to start with the leader, and Lin felt that this leader was something special, and that he might know more about it, so he just had to stay here for a while and make the brain reader.

Lin looked outside, and saw that the other scorpions did not follow up, but kept a certain distance outside, saying something to each other, it seems that they should not affect here.

Susumi is still in the same place, it can catch the pterodactyls there for food, and when Lin solves the problems here, she can take it out with her.

Speaking of which, this house is quite big, Lin looked around, the whole house is made of crystals glued into a square, the length and width are more than ten meters, and there are a lot of things.

Lynn found a stone in the corner, and next to it were several unfinished crystalline spears that they seemed to use to polish their spears.

Lin picked up a spear and looked at it, this kind of spear is not very hard, but here they can only make this kind of thing, the spear is probably not used for hunting, but for defending against some large creatures, or against other standing scorpions.

Although most of the crystals here are red, not every one of them has a phantom component, most of them are ordinary crystals, some of which are also able to store light energy, and in some cases will burst into flashes, these crystals are interesting, but ...... What is this?

Next to the pile of crystallized spears, Lynn saw a large red crystalline stone, and something white in it.

Is this ......

Lynn immediately released a prospector to burrow into the crystal, and Lynn quickly saw the true nature of what was inside......

They really like to put their brains in crystals, but it's not a brain, it's a part of the brain, and it seems to have some role in sending signals, but the most important thing is ......

This thing is still alive. (To be continued......)
