Scorpion King

  Those two people surrounded by the Variant Giant Centipedes, judging from their spellcasting, the slightly older one is a 6th-level Spellcaster, and the younger one should be a 5th-level Spellcaster. Not ordinary Spellcasters at all, even Armon felt extremely impressed, he had never seen any Tiered Spellcaster who could alternate and combine various spells so perfectly.

  If they were replaced by two other cultivators of the same level, they would have probably died under the scorpion's tail by now. These two people did not show any signs of defeat, but it was a bit difficult to support them, and it seemed that breaking through was not easy.

  Amun furrowed his brow and said, "A fifth-level divine technique master plus a first-level divine technique master - they must be top-notch divine masters to have taught such disciples. In terms of divine techniques alone, they are not inferior to you or me. If we add you and me to the mix, the four of us can definitely handle these mutated giant scorpions. Why not lend a hand? We can also make some friends - it's rare to meet divine technique masters like this."

  "Alright, let's get started! I've been annoyed by these pests for days, and running into you big guys is just what I needed to vent my frustration!"

  Amon waved his hand, took out a long sword and a short shield, saying: "Put away your staff, you pretend to be a second-tier awakened warrior, I'll pretend to be a first-tier divine master. We cultivate the power of two sides in one body, not suitable for public display. Let's make friends with these two masters and collect some materials along the way, just right to take back to Lin Ke's tribe to forge some equipment."

  Wally and Raphael were struggling against the mutated scorpions, several times trying to break through the encirclement, but those mutated scorpions always managed to seize the opportunity to cross-spray burning venom, slowing down their pace. This kind of battle was the most helpless for a divine master, because the opponent would not negotiate with you, and even if many were killed, more scorpions would surge up.

  Hawlett had a scroll on him that could instantly blast open a gap to break through with Raphael, but he never used it. He also knew that Raphael had a scroll, which Galen had specially taught his students for self-protection before the expedition, and Raphael had insisted on not using it, instead relying on his own strength to fight alongside Hawlett against the mutated giant scorpion.

  Teacher Gao Lie said that passing through this road is also a test and tempering, Raphael rarely has such an experience, this young man himself is not yet clear, he is already on the verge of breaking through from fifth grade to superior achievement. Raphael is the nephew of the Chancellor of the Hatti Kingdom, even if we don't talk about his family background, he is Gao Lie's favorite student, ordinary people will respect and give way, it is rare to see such a scene of entanglement, but these scorpions do not care who he is.

  Karl sent Raphael on a perilous mission twice, just to create an environment for him to hone his skills. Pen Fun Pavilion updates the fastest As long as he himself does not shrink back, Walter will cooperate and protect him to persist, and will not use other means until the last moment. Seeing that hundreds of mutated scorpions had been eliminated, but there were still nearly three hundred scorpions left, it seemed that it was impossible to break through in this way. Walter sighed silently, and had already prepared two high-level scrolls that could be unfolded at any time.

  Just then, Hawlett suddenly felt a shock, he sensed a powerful force bursting out behind the sand dunes in the distance, and immediately tightened his grip on the scroll and shouted: "Raphael, be careful! Another master has arrived, I don't know if it's an even bigger scorpion!"

  They were not scorpions, of course. They immediately heard a loud explosion, and the edge of the encirclement had five mutated giant scorpions torn to pieces by a space-time distortion force, with shell and body fragments flying everywhere.

  Raphael whispered, "It's a helper, at least a high-ranking divine magician!" Then he shouted loudly, "May I ask which friend has arrived? The Great Priest of the City-State of Syria, Huarai Te and Raphael thank you for your help!"

  A loud voice replied from behind the dunes: "Traveling warrior Maidensoto, divine technique user Aroushiro passing through this land, come to lend a helping hand!"

  As the voice faded away, a warrior had already stepped over the dunes with large strides, approaching closer. With his left hand holding a short shield to protect himself, he swung out sword lights with his right hand, chopping up several scorpions that were rushing over, the momentum was extremely fierce. The mutated giant scorpion also realized it had encountered a close combat expert, and they surprisingly had some intelligence to understand battle coordination, the nearby scorpions retreated, while several scorpions in the distance crossed paths shooting out poisonous flames.

  Maidenzo raised his shield, the sword tip spinning in mid-air, and a spiral airflow rose up, slightly gathering to change the direction of these flames. He attempted to block them with his shield. Huarui shouted again: "This warrior, the flames can corrode armor and weapons, be careful with your shield!"

  Before the words had fallen, those poisonous flames scattered in front of the shield, and the sandstorm surged up, floating in the air like a shallow yellow cloud, wrapping around the incoming flames and exploding immediately. On the dune behind Meidansuo, another figure appeared, holding a staff in his right hand and supporting a Wind Charm Dance with his left hand, who was exactly Amun.

  Since he let Meidanzuo report with a pseudonym, he didn't want to appear in his original identity. What he took out was another staff, which was also very good, but far inferior to the Iron Branch Staff.

  A warrior led the way, with a mage casting spells from behind to aid in the attack. This was the most common method of combat for mages. Medanzo charged forward, swinging his long sword and cutting through the scorpions, creating a path as he went. Amun followed close behind, picking up the scattered tails, claws, and strange armor that had been left on the sandy ground.

  The scorpions split into two groups, attempting to surround them separately. But Maidanzo drew his sword and took the lead, unstoppable, and the four quickly gathered in one place. Huaileite and Lafi'er exclaimed in unison: "Thank you so much! In such a dangerous place, you guys rushed over to rescue us!"

  This touching scene happened with true sincerity, they had means of self-protection, but the cost was not small either. It's best to avoid using them if possible. Moreover, in this desolate desert, seeing a large group of mutated poisonous scorpions rushing forward to rescue people without avoiding them is an admirable behavior no matter what.

  Mai Dianzuo said with a hint of pride: "Meeting is fate, I travel the continent to make friends with all kinds of heroes. You two are young and accomplished, daring to trek through the desert on foot. It's only right that I lend a hand."

  "Enough idle chatter," Ah Mon said with a wave of his staff. "Let's deal with these poisonous scorpions first, then we can talk at leisure."

  Four people gathered together to form a small battle array, and their power increased greatly at once. Maidana was in the front, swinging her sword to slash and chop, Ammon and Hua Leite were two steps behind, shoulder to shoulder, casting spells to protect Maidana, while Raphael covered the rear. The mutated giant scorpion moved very fast, following their footsteps quickly crawling, always in a surrounded state.

  The four of them marched on fearlessly, crossing over several sand dunes and slaying nearly a hundred giant scorpions along the way. Medanzo was exhausted, while Amun took advantage of the chaos to collect a large amount of materials.

  Wally saw the scorpions were getting too much to handle and was about to tell Medanzo to take a break. But these scorpions seemed to understand the situation as well, feeling that the three of them couldn't cope, suddenly scattered in all directions as if they had agreed on it beforehand, burrowing into the sand and disappearing from view.

  Mei Danzuo lowered his long sword and panted heavily, saying: "Huh? Why did they all run away?"

  Ammon murmured, "These variant scorpions are different from ordinary ones. They know how to cooperate and have a bit of intelligence. When they found that they couldn't deal with the four of us, they retreated, showing some semblance of military tactics."

  Howard nodded and said, "I've also noticed that these giant centipedes are different from ordinary poisonous insects. They seem to have received some simple training, which makes them even more terrifying. Otherwise, we would have broken through earlier. Thanks to the two heroes for saving us, I haven't had a chance to ask you properly yet."

  Raphael and Medanzo were almost exhausted, a few people sat on the sand dunes to rest, always keeping vigilant. Amun claimed that his name was Aroth, a divine craftsman from the Empire of Egu, who loved to process various divine instruments, came here mainly to temper himself and collect various materials, which also perfectly explained his actions just now.

  Mei Danzuo claims to be a warrior from the Kingdom of Balen, who was rescued by Aroka after encountering danger in the deep mountains. The two became good friends. He likes adventure and traveling, yearning for legendary heroic deeds. Coming to this desolate place to slay monsters is both helping his friend and tempering himself. His identity doesn't have much to hide, and what he says is almost all true.

  Raphael and Hualet's background, however, left Amun in shock. Just now he had heard that they were the high priests of the Temple of Syria, and Amun was extremely surprised. The high priest of the temple was one of the most noble identities in the city-state of Syria, and when Amun was in Douke Town, it was almost impossible for him to imagine dealing with such a big shot.

  What's even more astonishing is that these two high priests didn't bring any attendants or guards, and they traversed the perilous Syrian Desert on foot. Not even ordinary divine magic users would do such a thing. These two noble individuals claimed to be carrying out their teacher's orders, going separately to the city-states of Uruk and Cape to deliver messages. Their teacher was the great divine magic user, Galen.

  Amon had met Galatea before. One evening, he happened to see Galatea arguing with Old Frenzy at his house. Later, Galatea and Old Frenzy went together to the Town Mayor's residence in Dastin, and finally flew away from the window. It was only later that Amon realized that person was Galatea, the main deity of the Syah City-State and an 8th-level grand magician. The next day, the Town Mayor found an excuse to send Amon out of Ducktown, avoiding the subsequent disaster.

  Old Crazy's message also emphasized Ge Lie, telling Ah Meng that if he encounters any trouble in the city-state of Syria, he can go to Ge Lie for help. This great wizard is trustworthy and will not harm Ah Meng at least. Not many people have received such an evaluation from Old Crazy. Unexpectedly, today in the desert, I met Ge Lie's student, indeed a famous teacher produces outstanding students, and Ge Lie himself has advanced to become one of the top-ranked great wizards on the continent.

  Amon didn't tell Wyatt and Raphael about his past, nor did he need to ask Kol for help at the moment. After chatting for a while, Amon also made a delicious lunch and invited everyone to enjoy it together. Raphael warmly invited Amon and Medanzo to visit Syria City when they had the chance, and he would definitely thank them well.

  Huawei saw that everyone was almost rested, stood up and said: "Aroga, you must be very rich to have such a spatial law instrument, and as an artifact maker, various instruments are certainly not lacking. But please accept this scroll as a token of my gratitude, it may come in handy during the desert adventure."

  What Wyatt took out was a scroll, "Spatial Lockdown", which Amun was very familiar with. He had used two of them himself and they were indeed very useful auxiliary escape tools in dangerous situations. Amun couldn't decline, so he accepted the gift.

  Walter cautioned again, "Be careful in the desert, don't get entangled with powerful poisonous insects and beasts. No matter how precious the materials are, they are not worth your life. Those mutated giant scorpions have retreated, who knows if they will summon even more powerful monsters to attack us. This place is not suitable for staying for long, let's hurry up. You're welcome to visit Syria City in the future."

  Amon's reaction was beyond everyone's expectation, he suddenly stood up and took out the iron branch staff from thin air, using a fast and dazzling motion to embed the Wind Charm Dance into the staff body, saying in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's already too late, everyone be careful, there is a powerful opponent nearby!"

  Walter was shocked, he was already a top-notch god-level wizard, and his reaction and experience far surpassed Tongji. He didn't expect Amun's reaction to be even more sensitive, and he took out such a magical staff, indicating that Amun had not used his full strength in the battle just now. Medanzo and Raphael had picked up their weapons and staffs from the ground and jumped up, while Light also sensed a strong sense of danger and turned around with Amun to look in the same direction.

  A strange scene appeared in the distance, where three sand dunes slowly rose up ahead. The topmost sand kept falling down, while more sand surged out from beneath, and the dunes grew higher and higher until they took on human forms. When the dunes stopped rising and all the sand had fallen away, three bizarre creatures stood before them.

  The tallest was a male figure, over twenty feet tall, with the upper body in human shape, but his hands had transformed into a pair of giant pincers. The lower body was scorpion-like, standing on sandy dunes, with a tail that was at least thirty feet long, ending in a massive curved hook like a spearhead. The monster's humanoid upper body had muscles that were abnormally thick and powerful, with flame-shaped markings on his cheeks, and his eyes had no whites, only dark brown color, staring coldly down at Amun and the other three people.

  Walter took a deep breath in, muttering subconsciously: "The legendary Scorpion King, the poisonous scorpion with a human face created by the gods!"

  Amun said in a low voice, "Don't panic at all, four against one may not be impossible to fight!" As he spoke, he took out the iron branch staff and his right hand had already taken out three scrolls. He told others not to panic, but he himself was not as calm as usual, even his words were wrong. Because they were not facing a situation of four against one, but rather three powerful enemies.

  The two sides of the Scorpion King were actually two extremely beautiful female "humans", with their bodies completely naked, even the pubic hair between their legs was clearly visible. They were about the same height as Amun, looking slender and seductive, but behind them they dragged a scorpion tail that was about ten feet long, adding an eerie and terrifying sensuality.
