Chapter 10: The King of Scorpions

"What did you say?" José looked at her suspiciously, seeing that her face was different. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and Su Ya just looked solemn, with a hint of uneasiness in her beautiful eyes.

"You, do you remember the people who chased and killed me in the first place?" Su Ya seemed to answer the question, and when she saw Jose nodding suspiciously, she said in a somewhat bitter voice: "Actually, the day before, they still had a few hundred people, but you can also see that there were only more than twenty of them left that day." ”

"Those people...... Did you kill me?" José didn't understand what Su Ya wanted to say, so he asked with a frown.

"Hehe, although I pride myself on my strength, but under serious injuries, I am not strong enough to slaughter hundreds of grassland iron horsemen overnight. Su Ya smiled bitterly, but her tone was a little sad:

"That night, I had only a hundred soldiers left with me, and I was chased all the way to a sandy hillside by the steppe people. Already surrounded by them, they contracted the encirclement until we could almost see the cold light reflected off the steppe scimitar.

But no one flinched, and just as I was preparing for the final battle, there was a sudden commotion in their well-organized cavalry regiment, and then ......"

"What's going on next?" Jose was also a little surprised, as he could tell that there seemed to be a bit of ...... in Suya's words Fear.

This female knight, who had always been cold and arrogant, showed a trace of fear in her eyes at this moment, "It's a giant demon scorpion! Hundreds, if not thousands, surrounded them from all sides and attacked them in the rear of the steppe people. ”

"We didn't even see them in our panic, but in a short moment, the outermost cavalry regiment was almost all gone. They scattered and fled for their lives, and I, in the confusion, was escorted by my own guards to break out, but they ......"

Su Ya said this, with some sadness in her tone, "They are all the most loyal warriors in my empire, just for me, I ...... I'm sorry for them. ”

Jose sighed secretly, Su Ya was the only one who escaped that day, thinking that her loyal subordinates should have died in the hands of the monsters and pursuers in order to protect her from breaking through.

It's just that this usually cold Su Ya, although her strength is extraordinary and her temperament is indifferent, but in the end, she is just a girl.

Seeing that she was depressed, Qiao Se didn't ask anything more, just looked at Su Ya lightly, and said slowly: "It is precisely because of this that you have to live even more, just imagine that the soldiers are desperately protecting the lord and dying without mercy." If you die here, won't their sacrifice be meaningless?"

Su Ya was sad for a while, and when she heard Jose say this, she also knew that she was overly sad, and she couldn't help but lose some sense of proportion in her words. Only then did he look at the sword in his hand with firm eyes, and finally showed a trace of determination and perseverance on his face, and said to Jose in a deep voice, "Thank you."

Jose looked at the girl with a cold look again, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Alas, a good girl, but she wants to hide her emotions in the depths of her heart, and she usually pretends to be indifferent to others.

Although she has figured this out now, she may hide her heart deeper in the future. It's just that...... A beautiful girl, but so cold and indifferent, is it right or wrong for me to persuade her like this?

José smiled self-deprecatingly, and it seemed that he still couldn't make up his mind. It's not a good thing to be too old-fashioned.

He shook his head, suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and then said to Su Ya, "Do you suspect that we have strayed into the territory of that 'giant demon scorpion'?"

Su Ya heard Joseph's question, and her eyes became solemn, "I'm not sure, but listening to you say this, this valley is indeed a little weird. She was silent for a moment, "Anyway, we have to get our spirits up, after all, it's hard to predict what will happen here." ”

Jose nodded, there was something strange here, anyway, I had to leave quickly tomorrow......

Before going to bed, Su Ya took the initiative to ask for a vigil, and Qiao Se only smiled faintly when she looked at the serious look on the girl's beautiful face.

Even though Su Ya was very strong before, she was now seriously injured, and she had no combat power at all - and asked a girl who had been injured and not recovered to keep vigil, José asked herself if she couldn't do it.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Su Ya couldn't help but sigh, as if she had made up her mind. Untied the strangely shaped sword he was wearing, and handed it to Joseph's hand, "You take this." The girl's tone was a little stiff, with a bit of irresistible flavor.

José raised an eyebrow, he knew that this sword was not ordinary, and he really did not know martial arts, and the only fire axe that could be used as a weapon was also lost in the desert. He didn't say anything more, just took the sword, turned and crouched down beside the fire.

Su Ya saw him take the sword, looked down and saw Jose's coat spread on the hay again, and her eyes were a little gentle. He sat down gently and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of the night. Although there was still dead silence in the valley, at least nothing had happened, which made Jose breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at Su Ya, who was not far away with her eyes slightly closed and her face quiet, Qiao Se couldn't help but smile slightly. He took a branch in his hand, and was about to join the fire when he suddenly heard a miserable hiss.

Jose's face changed, and he could already hear the sound coming from the warhorse tied to the valley.

Could it be that "it" has finally appeared?

In the middle of the desert night, the wailing of war horses was particularly clear and piercing in the empty valley.

Su Ya had already opened her eyes and looked at Jose with a cloudy face. Both of them knew very well in their hearts: "it" appeared!

Jose gritted his teeth and said to Su Ya on the side, "Don't move around here, I'll take a look." As he spoke, he picked up the sword Su Ya gave him in his hand, but Su Ya looked at him with a calm face, "I'll go with me too, you can't deal with it alone." With that, he pulled out his magic staff in his hand and walked up to José.

"Let's go," Su Ya said lightly, "Although the fighting spirit is gone, at least I haven't reached the point of abolishing it...... Magic scrolls or something, I still have a few. ”

Seeing that she had taken out a few sheepskin scrolls from the belt of her armor, presumably the "magic scrolls" she was talking about, José thought for a moment and agreed.

Then he turned and walked in front of Suya and walked into the valley. After only a few steps, Su Ya felt as if he was deliberately blocking his body in front of him, although he frowned slightly, Su Ya didn't say anything.

The whining of the horses was already faint, but José still found it roughly according to the direction of the day.

The two of them hid far behind a large rock, and José took out the infrared telescope from his backpack, took a deep breath, and carefully poked his head out, placing the infrared telescope in front of his eyes......

"Huh?" José was a little surprised, he didn't see anything terrible in the field of view of the telescope. Just, horses...... It's gone.

José motioned to Suya and handed the telescope over. Su Ya had already used the telescope once before, so she was no stranger, but after seeing the scene in the valley clearly, her eyes were slightly hesitant.

Finally, Joseph drew his sword and held it in his hand, "You just stay here, I'll take a look." He looked at Su Ya's frowning brows, pointed to the telescope, and then said lightly, "If there is anything, you can watch it here, so you can remind me." ”

Hearing him say this, Su Ya hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

José looked around for a moment to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary, then took a deep breath and slowly walked out from behind the rocks. Holding Su Ya's sword in his hand, although Jose had seen the power of this sword before, it was unexpected to hold it in his hand...... Lightweight.

The sword in his hand was like the weight of an ordinary stick, not even as heavy as the fire axe. But José had no doubt about its power - it was a sword that could easily cut through a steel plate!

With the sharp weapon in hand, Jose also felt a little more secure in his heart. The chill in his palm kept him awake and alert.

Step by step, he carefully observed his surroundings. When I finally walked to the grass, I saw that there was only a puddle of black liquid left on it, exuding a strong smell of blood.

Jose frowned, it seemed that the war horse had indeed been attacked by something. It's just that he leaned over and looked carefully on the ground for a long time, and there was no other bloodstain, only such a pool of blood and a little scattered mane.

Thinking of this, he quickly looked up into the night sky, but found nothing unusual.

Finally, José couldn't help but retreat. This place is too weird, so it's better to go back and discuss it with Su Ya and find a safe place to hide.

He had only taken a few steps when he turned around and felt a strong uneasiness in his heart. He was shocked, as if he had suddenly sensed some great danger, and he only felt that the senses of his body had suddenly become extremely sensitive and clear!

"Be careful!" With Su Ya's exclamation, Qiao Se subconsciously lowered his body, bent his knees, and rolled to the side.

Rumble...... There was a loud bang, and José even felt a strong wind behind him, and his back was actually scraped painfully. By the inertia of his body, José rolled and stopped not far away.

When he hurriedly turned his head to look, he was stunned. He swallowed hard.

Damn, what the hell is this?!

A huge "monster" covered in pitch black appeared behind him out of thin air. It looks more than two meters tall and seven or eight meters long. There was a strong smell of blood in the face, which looked mysterious and extremely shocking in the moonlight.

Only, José looked at its huge pair of claws, several pairs of hind feet lined up on either side of its body, and a tail raised high behind it......

Isn't this a scorpion?

It's just that it's so big, why didn't you notice it just now?

"Giant Demon Scorpion!" Su Ya, who was not far away, exclaimed. She was obviously more knowledgeable than Joseph, and she could see this terrifying monster at a glance, and her face suddenly became ugly.

The giant scorpion had just attacked Jose, and the blow missed, and the double claws were deeply inserted into the granite stone wall on the side. It looked a little impatient, and only shook its claws a few times, but the granite walls were like mud and sand, and the peeling stone chips fell one after another.

Seeing this guy so violent, Qiao Se couldn't help but be startled in his heart, and hurriedly asked Su Ya: "What is this big scorpion, why is it so powerful?" Su Ya just had a gloomy face, "Now, we are in trouble." ”

"This is a 'Giant Demon Scorpion'," Su Ya's face was a little ugly, "And judging by its size and physical strength, it should be a 'Giant Demon Scorpion King'!"
