Chapter 268 - The Despairing Armored Scorpion
Chapter 268: The Despairing Armored Scorpion
“Gotcha!”
In the end, the Armored Scorpion couldn’t help but take the initiative to break through the trap that Klein had set for it.
However, what made Klein slightly curious was why, just as Klein was about to retract the net, the Armored Scorpion suddenly fled frantically?
‘Could it have sensed something?’ Klein couldn’t help but think.
Then, he looked at the Harpy, whose blood had already flowed like a river.
Could it be that they had sensed each other?
It was very likely.
After all, such a skilled combo wasn’t something that could be achieved in a short period of time.
It had to be a long-term cooperation that allowed them to be so skilled.
In that case, the platinum treasure chest in the middle of the forest was very likely a tool for them to fish!
With this in mind, Klein couldn’t help but laugh.
If it weren’t for the fact that these monsters had encountered him, they would probably have continued to be rampant. After all, their combination was unsolvable.
However, there would come a time when their luck would run out. Today was the day they would be liquidated!
With this in mind, Klein increased his output of gold elements once again.
If someone were to carefully observe Klein and the ground, they would definitely notice that Klein’s gold elements were flowing out of Klein’s hand like water.
That’s not right!
It should be that Klein was casting earth magic and gold magic at the same time, allowing the two to fuse and strengthen his body.
This method might seem stupid, but it was the best way to deal with the Armored Scorpion.
This was because when the Armored Scorpion entered Klein’s encirclement, Klein had already used the gold and earth elements to surround the Armored Scorpion in advance.
Although he couldn’t directly pull it out of the soil, he still managed to grasp the Armored Scorpion’s escape route through the entanglement of the two elements.
Therefore, Klein constantly used the entanglement of the two elements to strengthen the soil around the Armored Scorpion, which made it more and more difficult for the Armored Scorpion to dive.
Klein also used his underground senses to finally reach the top of the Armored Scorpion’s head.
At that moment, the Armored Scorpion was completely unaware. It thought that its short recovery had reduced its mana by too much, so it was unable to use its innate ability.
It even found it difficult to breathe.
However, it didn’t dare to slack off. It knew that once it was caught by Klein, it would definitely die.
And only by constantly escaping deep underground would it be able to escape the killing intent.
Therefore, it displayed an extremely strong desire to survive as it continued to break through underground.
“You still want to escape?”
Sensing that the Armored Scorpion was beneath his feet, Klein smiled and raised his Endless Sword. He pointed the tip of his blade downward and shot out a saber beam.
The terrifying saber beam instantly tore through the ground like a nail as it charged at the underground Armored Scorpion.
The underground Armored Scorpion also felt the ground shake, and it couldn’t help but turn its head to look.
Seeing the saber flash flying down from the sky, the Armored Scorpion was instantly dumbfounded.
It obviously knew how terrifying the saber flash was. It was an existence that could wipe out the entire forest with a single strike.
It had even nearly killed it in another duel.
How could it block it now?
Therefore, the Armored Scorpion hurriedly used its innate ability and fled to the side.
However, Klein had fished for so long and had long prepared a foolproof plan. How could he let it escape?
Klein cast earth and gold magic once again, directly restricting the movement of the Armored Scorpion.
And at that moment, the Armored Scorpion, which wanted to move, felt that the surrounding soil had completely changed.
It was as though the familiar soil had turned into a pair of large hands. It wasn’t that it could move freely in there, but that it had been caught by the large hands, rendering it unable to move at all. It could only watch as the saber beam descended from the sky, it directly cut the Armored Scorpion in half from head to tail!
The Armored Scorpion was dead!
After seeing it die, Klein cast another spell and squeezed the Armored Scorpion out of the ground.
Only this time did the Armored Scorpion truly appear in front of Klein.
Although its body had been thrown away from both sides, it couldn’t be any more dead.
Klein sized it up from top to bottom.
The two pairs of huge pincers aroused Klein’s desire for crabs.
Klein had yet to discover the existence of crabs in the catacombs world. He wondered if there was any meat in the pincers of these beasts!
It seemed like he would have to search carefully later.
Unlike the Stone of Destruction, the Blood Ape, and the Ghoul from before, they were more like beasts that were kept in captivity.
Especially the Stone of Destruction and the Ghoul. One was a stone creature that couldn’t be eaten, while the other was a scavenger that couldn’t be eaten.
Therefore, Klein didn’t collect their corpses.
As for the Blood Ape, perhaps it was because it looked too much like humans. Klein didn’t eat it either. In the end, he allowed their corpses to be exposed in the wilderness.
But the Armored Scorpion in front of him was different.
In his previous life, there were a lot of dishes that were related to scorpions.
And that was only a small scorpion the size of a palm. Wouldn’t the scorpion in front of him be even more delicious and satisfying?
With this in mind, Klein couldn’t help but nod.
But he didn’t forget that there was a third creature in the catacomb, the Rogue Archer!
This creature was very cunning. Ever since the Harpy died, there had been no movement.
Cunning beast!
Klein couldn’t help but curse.
For an invisible existence, if the other party wanted to hide, Klein wouldn’t be able to capture him for the time being!
This should be difficult.
Klein looked around, but it was still gray.
Without the Harpy’s mana, the wind magic was quickly dispelled, and the dust was still thick.
Since the two most troublesome ones had been dealt with, the Rogue Archer didn’t need to go through so much trouble.
As long as he could find him, he would definitely die!
With this in mind, Klein cast the wind magic and directly dispelled the dust around him.
Thanks to the enhancement of the Endless Sword to his elemental magic, the strength of Klein’s wind magic was much stronger than before.
Therefore, he raised the Endless Sword and swung it forcefully. Instantly, countless tornadoes flew out from Klein’s endless blade.
The flying tornadoes constantly stirred up the dust in the sky. A few minutes later, the sky cleared and returned to its original brightness.
At this moment, the sun was blazing. In the distance, there was the platinum treasure chest that was emitting light, as well as the forest waste that Klein had destroyed.
Then, where was the Rogue Archer?
Klein looked around.
His eyes were like an eagle as they constantly shot out.
Suddenly, there was the sound of dense footsteps near the treasure chest.
Klein hurriedly looked over.
He saw a row of footprints near the treasure chest.
Upon seeing this scene, Klein finally understood why the Rogue Archer, who couldn’t fly, didn’t die when his saber beam destroyed the forest!
It turned out that the platinum treasure chest in front of him had saved him!
