It was a giant scorpion, and it moved toward them. The scorpion was about two feet long. It was a two feet long scorpion! His body was shiny-black, and its shell looked as hard as iron armor; it looked indestructible.
The giant insect had blood-red eyes; they looked like red rubies.
“Is that the Red Eye King Scorpion?”
Yvette shivered and shouted.
Darryl was shocked when virtual-novel.net heard that. “You know about this thing?”
The Red Eye King Scorpion charged at them.
Yvette was the closest to it; virtual-novel.net was swept by its tail and bounced into the air.
Bang!
She hit the stone wall before virtual-novel.net landed on the ground. She vomited a mouthful of blood; virtual-novel.net face was pale.
“Are you alright?” Darryl asked. He did not expect to see such a giant scorpion.
That hit even seemed effortless.
Yvette coughed; virtual-novel.net was seriously injured. She said hurriedly, “It’s the Red Eye King Scorpion It only appears in ancient tombs and is extremely poisonous. Due to its long duration in the tomb, it will attack any human that it sees. Be careful!”
Right after virtual-novel.net said that, the Red Eye Scorpion King roared and charged toward Darryl at an unimaginably high speed.
Darryl had the blood—drinking sword in his hand; virtual-novel.net aimed it at the scorpion.
Darryl could not use his internal energy as the strong vibration might cause the ancient tomb to collapse. He had no choice but to use a weapon. No matter how strong the shell, the blood-drinking sword should be able to pierce through it.
Roar!
The king scorpion roared in pain as the blood-drinking sword pierced through its shell. It swept Darryl up, and virtual-novel.net flew through the air.
Bang!
Darryl flew more than ten feet, and virtual-novel.net landed on his stomach. Fresh blood sprayed from his lips.
The Red Eye King Scorpion raised its tail and aimed it at Darryl.
“Watch out, Darryl!” Yvette shouted.
Darryl sweated. The scorpion’s tail was poisonous. The Red Eye King Scorpion was the king of the scorpions, so its poison could be worse. He might not survive it.
Darryl wanted to hide, but it was too late; the Red Eye King Scorpion was too fast for him.
It pierced its tail into Darryl’s back and released the venom into his body.
“Argh!” Darryl shouted in pain. At the same time, virtual-novel.net pierced his sword into the giant scorpion and took its life. The scorpion struggled on the ground and for a short while before it became motionless. It had died.
Darryl held his fists tightly. He felt numb on his back, and then virtual-novel.net could no longer feel his body. He paled.
The next second, Darryl dropped onto the ground as virtual-novel.net shook uncontrollably.
“Darryl! How are you feeling?” Yvette rushed toward him.
Darryl’s lips quivered, but virtual-novel.net could not speak His whole body felt weak. Would virtual-novel.net die?
Darryl’s heart was filled with regrets. He thought that virtual-novel.net would find treasures in the ancient tomb. He did not expect to see a Red Eye King Scorpion before virtual-novel.net could find the treasure. He also did not foresee that a scorpion would poison him.
