Volume 2, Xuanhai Immortal Mountain_Chapter 128, Scorpio
The scorpion landed on the ground, rolled lightly on the ground twice, and then slowly straightened up, it looked very small, even smaller than the scorpion that appeared in those illusions just now, but if you look closely, you will find that this scorpion is different, first of all, the dark eyes, with a faint red light, and the dark body, if you are in the dark, you may only see two faint red lights. It seemed to be wise, or rather, not less intelligent, holding its pincers high and raising its tail behind its back, as if to declare its position to me. The pitch-black carapace doesn't even reflect a single ray of light, and it walks back and forth on the ground, giving the impression that it can't be easily approached.
"I was born in the Gobi Desert, and like any people who depend on the desert for their survival, we live on the desert but revere everything in the desert. I remember when I was a child, my people would often wake up to be stung by scorpions, and some people didn't survive and eventually died under the venom. The people of the tribe are very afraid of scorpions, and they are afraid of the venom of scorpions, but they also make up many legends about scorpions. I remember when I was a child, I heard a story about a scorpion that left a deep impression on me. He stood behind the little scorpion, as if he were standing behind an impregnable wall, and he began to talk incessantly.
I didn't act rashly, watching what this guy was doing.
"Legend has it that the scorpion was once created by the gods to guard the palaces of the gods deep in the desert. But when the dormancy of the gods was approaching, the gods, fearing that the scorpion would leave the temple, plucked the scorpion's original wings. So that the scorpions will never be able to get out of the desert. But the gods were oversight. They did not find a pair of newborn scorpions, which still had wings, but their parents asked them to hide their wings for fear of being discovered by the gods. Over the years, the scorpions with hidden wings grew up to become the strongest and leader among the scorpions, and they felt that the gods were too selfish, so they decided to overthrow the gods. They broke into the palace and killed the gods with a stinger that was supposed to stab the enemies of the gods. The scorpion that has obtained the palace and divine power has completely become the master of the desert, but even if they have conquered the seemingly vast and boundless desert, there is one place that the scorpions will never reach, and that is the sun. If there was no sun, the desert would not be so barren, and if the desert was not barren, the scorpions would live better. The leader who retains this idea flies into the sky and heads towards your sun in the sky, but the final result is unknown. Many years later, in the mythological versions I heard, the pair of scorpions that flew into the sky were called Scorpions, and they did not succeed or fail. They block the sun with their sturdy, pitch-black carapace, so that when night comes, the sun disappears. ”
After listening to the long mythological story, I laughed and said, "You should really look at the theory of evolution, and after reading it, you will know that scorpions can never grow wings, and this is because of the evolution of species." Also, the reason why it gets dark is because the revolution rotates automatically. ”
Zhao Qu smiled and said, "I am different from the rest of my clan, they kneel down to the scorpions, but at the same time they are afraid to avoid them. But I loved these proud warriors so much that I traveled all over the deserts of China and saw them in the most barren places. I always felt that the biggest flaw of scorpions was that they could not fly, they were perfect creatures, until I found the small sarcophagus in the depths of the desert, in the ruins of a deserted palace that could not be seen, and found the pair of scorpions preserved in the sarcophagus. I just learned that the legend of the Scorpio is true......"
As soon as he finished speaking, the back of the scorpion on the ground in front of me suddenly opened two wounds, which were the wounds of its own body, and the narrow wounds could see the bones and flesh, and then a pair of thin light gauze things grew, and even in the light, the wing membranes emitted colored light. Just like the wings of a dragonfly, there will be colorful lines in the sun.
This scene really surprised me, and I couldn't help but say, "Damn, you really have wings!" ”
The scorpion that grew wings gradually flew up, although it was still so small, but this change was tantamount to telling me that this was not an ordinary scorpion, maybe an earth beast or even a demon.
I moved a few steps to the side, and at that moment the scorpion with wings suddenly flew towards me, flying fast and the trajectory was very strange, I didn't know much about the details of this thing, but one thing I was sure of, if I was stung by this thing, eighty percent of my life would be explained here! So he immediately chose to dodge, and Scorpio pounced but didn't give up, turning his head and continuing to attack me. After a few tosses and turns, I almost mastered the pattern of this kind of attack. Although they are stronger than humans, they are far less intelligent than humans, and they will always habitually choose the same way when attacking. It also made me more and more comfortable with dodging scorpion attacks.
"I don't think your scorpion is anything, but it just can fly, and there are more flying insects, and you can kill people?" I didn't forget to taunt the other person in between dodging the attack. But Zhao Qu was not angry, and he should not only be known as the Scorpion King.
I dodged the attack of the scorpion in front of me and dodged to the side, and then pulled out the Tushan knife and slashed it, just as the scorpion in front of me was split in half, and the scorpion that was still fierce just now fell to the ground, and the body became two halves, and the internal organs and blood flowed all over the ground and mixed with some slimy liquid.
"What a scorpion, what a joke."
"Is that really the case? The scorpion's carapace is capable of covering the sun and devouring all the light, and the horror of the scorpion is just beginning now. Zhao Qu's words sounded a little terrifying, but when he finished saying this, some black liquid flowed from the body of the dead scorpion on the ground, and at first I thought it was thick blood, because the blood of some animals is too viscous so it looks like black at first glance. But when the liquid came together, I realized that it wasn't animal blood, but some strange liquid. The liquids intertwined with each other and gradually became entangled in one piece, eventually turning into a single black mass.
......At this time, Zhao Qu took out a small powder bag from the gap in his belt, opened it and blew it, and the powder in the powder bag floated out with the wind and fell on the entire Longkou platform. And when the powder was sprinkled and floating, the black substance in front of me began to rumble again, slowly expanding, like fainting ink, and more and more exaggerated, and in just ten seconds before and after, this black substance became as huge as an adult man, and there was no intention of stopping. I felt that the situation was wrong, so I immediately raised a flame and hit it, but the flame fell on this black mass of matter and had no effect!
"Tonight, I'm going to resurrect the Scorpio of the Age of Mythology again, and it will be your nightmare." Zhao Qu raised his hands, and the black substance under the light had expanded to almost like a small mountain, but it was still getting bigger, and finally reached the zenith, estimated to be about ten meters high, exactly like a scorpion, the whole body was pitch black but not a single piece of scale armor could be seen, and the pair of red eyes flickered and dimmed.
"So big!" I was really taken aback, but before I could come to my senses, the monster on the opposite side had already attacked, and the huge pincers were aimed at me and smashed down, although the big monster was huge but the speed was not slow at all, I hurriedly jumped to the side, and thought I could dodge, but I didn't expect that the other pincers on the other side had already been prepared, and with a horizontal slash, I knocked my whole person out, and I hit the edge of the stone pillar of the Longkou platform, and my chest was stuffy and I almost didn't go away.
"Scorpion's poison can kill the gods!" Zhao Qu shouted, the scorpion pounced, I immediately jumped up from the ground, and was about to make a counterattack, but the scorpion pressed me to the ground with pincers with lightning speed, and at the same moment, raised a black and terrible poisonous needle and stabbed me directly in the head!
