"Can’t dig him out..." Duren Burg looked up at the incoming scorpions that were rolling together with the sand: "then, we are left with no other choice..."

Fanta Kunge nodded as he revealed a grave expression. He had just recovered and was not sure if he could survive this time with the strength of a Demon Fighter. On top of that, they couldn’t leave! If he wanted to save his own butt, he could just run and hide. The cave was a perfect shelter, and it was right behind him...

But what about Qian Jin? Sand scorpions had such a delicate sense of smell that they could spot an injured prey from miles away. They must have come here because they tasted the blood from Qian Jin’s wounds.

If they ran, Qian Jin would definitely die!

Cech Flet looked at the weapons under his feet and the boiling sand bove Qian Jin’s head. "Did you predict they would come after us? So you left your weapons here?" He thought.

Cech Flet handed the strong bow and hard arrows out, and Fanta Kunge accepted them without demur. Being the weakest on the team, he was better off fighting in the safest way possible, which was attacking from a distance!

Placing his spear across his shoulders and hanging his arms off it, Duren Burg glanced at the approaching scorpions. Taking one step forward, he immediately positioned himself in the Hydra Bloodline Battle Form. He gazed towards Qian Jin’s direction, but there were no feelings in his eyes! "Buddy, if we can make it this time, you must forge a complete set of armor for each of us. We can’t do it again with blood and flesh!" He joked.

Puff... The golden sand suddenly bounced up by more than half a meter as if Qian Jin was saying yes to Duren Burg’s request.

"Hang in there... I’ll crack this damn lock very soon..." Qian Jin thought.

Qian Jin clenched his hands into fists as the heat flow kept surging into his body! He clearly felt the surrounding sand dance and jump: "Please hold on a little longer, at least till I come out! F**k, the warrior power lock is too... " He thought.

The scorpions were coming closer and closer, and all of a sudden, they were less than 100 meters away. Their squeaky screams mixed with the friction caused by their fast sweeping-in running sounded extremely harsh!

"Go!"

Duren Burg took his weapon off his shoulders and held it in one hand. Warrior Power was injected into the spear and began to roar in seconds!

Whistle sounds suddenly broke out! Cutting through the hot air and endless sand, a strong bow mercilessly embedded itself into the head of the first scorpion.

When the arrow that was on the grade of Warrior Weapon that was forged out of Purified Iron, mixed with Gold Essence Warrior Power, it easily pierced the head of the scorpion as if the victim was made out of tofu. Yellow liquid immediately erupted from the wound.

The fluid kept coming out but the scorpion didn’t die immediately. The victim twisted its body while screaming! The arrow was sharper than ordinary arrows, but it missed the vital spot! The scorpion was just injured!

When wild animals got injured, they tended to become more ferocious. So did the Demon Beasts! Fanta Kunge flicked his wrist, took out another arrow, and aimed it at the King Scorpion!

To kill the cavalier, shoot the horse first. To catch bandits, catch the ringleader first.

This was common sense! Fanta Kunge couldn’t know it better! He pulled his bow for the second time, and the arrow went straight to the King.

As the King shouted out another whistle cry, balls of golden sand quickly gathered on its huge pincers. A special sturdy armor was immediately formed as a kind of protection.

Sand Shield Spell, the born-magic of this monster! The armor was comparable to that made by humans.

The King raised its pincers above its head in defense. The arrow could not resist the impact and was smashed into small pieces immediately.

"Kunge, get to the small ones first." Duren Burg stared at the king with his spear in hand: "It is at best a medium Demon Beast! Kill the small ones first! There must be something we can do if we deal with the king last as a group!"

Cech Flet forced a powerless smile:"It is after all a medium Demon Beast! It’s much stronger than anyone we have come across! And we even have no idea what level this monster is in. Four? Five? Or six? Qian Jin, you’d better hurry up, or we’ll soon be killed by it!"

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Three consecutive whistles sounded in the air followed by the cries of three scorpions! There was very little Fanta Kunge could do about the King, but he had got his way with the other scorpions. Without Magic Cores, they were gifted with no born-magic. They just possessed the basic destructive force.

"It’s my turn!" Duren Burg clutched his weapon and kicked a mist of sand into the air: "Qian Jin, you owe me a set of armor! And I also want a shield!"

In the sun, the spear turned into a silver dragon! Sucked by the outbreak of Warrior Power, sand rolled around the weapon’s body and camouflaged it as a touring Dragon King.

Zzzt...A sand scorpion cried out of excitement and raised its two huge pincers. Crack... It tightly clinched the spear but this opponent was nothing but a soft touch! The wrapping sand suddenly flew out, and the ferocious body of the spear was exposed! Duren Burg roared in flaunting disdain: "Loser! How dare you trying to block my strike!"

The Burg Spear wasn’t clamped down by the pincers at all. Instead, it went on high-speed rotation and crushed every tooth on the pincers! As the scorpion wailed in pain, yellow juices burst out! Sticky and disgusting...

It’s unstoppable! The scorpion finally understood that its invincible pincers had messed with some kick *ss weapon.

Puff! The spear was inserted into its brain, and Duren Burg kept rotating it until the poor little brain was smashed into ashes! At the same time, the tails of three more approaching scorpions were also crushed into pieces, which immediately blotted out the sun and the sky!

One strike, and one enemy down! Duren Burg gave his spear a pump and a swing, and it bounced in the air several times! Suddenly, dozens of silver rays burst out like thousands of silver snakes from the spear! Their bodies were intertwined, but their heads initiated separate attacks, serving as a defensive mechanism against the incoming scorpions as well as a counterattack.

[Thousand Snakes]! An absolute self-confidence bloomed in the Hydra Bloodline Warrior’s eyes!

As a combination of many other different tricks, this was the newest and strongest he had invented! He had thought of revealing it during a practice with Qian Jin when they had the time! Who would have known this trump card would make its debut as early as today!

Flap...

This first-class Warrior Weapon snapped the scorpions in half, squeezing a trail of yellow mucus out. By dogged persistence, those monsters stayed alive even when their tails and pincers had already been cut off! In great pain, they produced mouthfuls of stinky saliva.

???????????,??????????,???????????????????????????,????????????????

Although Hydra Bloodline Warriors was equipped with a more antitoxic body than other bloodlines and he was now in the Bloodline Battle Form, Duren Burg still dared not to employ his body as a shield! God knows what kind of perils was buried in it!

According to what they have learned, it wasn’t poisonous, but Duren Burg couldn’t risk his life! As this was one of the most mysterious places on earth, who dared to say it for sure that the saliva of the sand scorpions brought no threats?

Duren Burg jumped aside. Availed with this perfect opportunity, a sturdy tail grew from the earth and threw itself onto the back of the Hydra!

This hiding ambush was a special ability of this type of beasts! Using this, they could sink into the sand in seconds and travel at a speed by no means inferior to the speed they walked at on the ground!

Puff!

A bright light flashed behind Duren Burg’s back! The stout tail was suddenly split in two! Cech Flet silently flew by and stood back-to-back with Duren Burg. He then folded his black wing onto his back!

"I owe you big time."

Without turning around, Duren Burg waved his spear to block the pincers! As Zhanmadao swept across the sky, Cech Flet also sliced a huge pincer onto the ground while splashing countless sand in the air!

Although surrounded by hordes of scorpions, the two haven’t even been hit once! Plus, there was a strong bow initiating fatal attacks from time to time in the distance! The attackers began to worry...

The King outside the battle group banged his giant pincers onto the ground and knocked up the sand into the sky! It yelled at the sky! How could so many of them be unable to take only three humans down? The King Scorpion thought.

????????????,??????????,???????????,?????????????,???????????,???????????????????‘??’.

Hearing the howl, the attackers quickly moved backward and made way! A huge encirclement was immediately formed, and the King strode into the center! Standing at a vantage point, it overlooked the ‘worms’ -- their dessert!

"It is a Level 5..." Cech Flet stood on guard as he observed the King! From what he could tell, it was definitely a Level 5 Demon Beast...

They might have a chance if they gave all they got if it were a Level 4... A Level 5 Demon Beast? With the thick skin and hard shell?

Zzzt... A spout of ink-like venom suddenly jetted from the high-tilted tail! A disgusting stench passed through the air and reached the targets before the venom...

Jump!

Almost at the same time, the two warriors quickly jumped to both sides! The King raised its weapon, and one of the pincers appeared above Duren Burg... A shadow suddenly appeared above the burning sand and plunged swiftly like a mountain collapsing...

"Want to kill me?" Aiming at the giant pincers, Duren Burg stood steadily on the ground and struck forward! It created a series of sparks while completely piercing the protection sand shield! The spear touched the body and left a half-inch mark on it, but it did not hurt the thick pincers...
