Chapter 35: Killing the black scorpion

April 13, 2023Ai Hrist

Lu Jiu stood in a distance anxiously and drew the bowstring, but she was standing on the ground and couldn’t shoot the scorpion’s eyes. And because Zhuang Yun was beside her, she didn’t dare to use her wings to fly.

The attacks from Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun didn’t even scratch the scorpion’s shell, but they still did a little damage. The black scorpion hasn’t used its tail stab yet.

After attacking with a sword, Shen Jufeng said to Zhuang Yun: “Attack the connection point between its shells, the damage I made there is much higher.”

Zhuang Yun looked around and found that the tail thorn did not move. He dodged the front pincers hammered by the black scorpion and chopped off a node of its other legs. This blow gave a -126 attack.

Shen Jufeng saw clearly with his eyes that this scorpion still has weaknesses. He shouted to Lu Jiu in the distance: “Shoot at the knots of its shell, that’s a weak spot!”

Lu Jiu immediately raised her arrow to aim and slowed down her breath to stare at the moving scorpion. When the scorpion was facing her sideways, Lu Jiu released the arrow, shooting to a node on its back shell, and immediately saw -200 damage.

“Hiss——”

This was the first time they heard the black scorpion roar in pain after being attacked.

This undoubtedly inspired Lu Jiu. She immediately pulled the bowstring to prepare for the second shot. This time, she was extremely thankful that she had acquired the instant hit skill, otherwise she might not have hit the shot just now.

Zhuang Yun also held his sword tightly to release an attack. When the scorpion’s front pincers swung, he hit back with his giant sword, which triggered the negative state of paralysis this time!

Shen Jufeng moved very quickly, jumped on the front pincers, and ran to the back of the scorpion. He found that attacking the back was more effective than its legs.

Triggering the paralysis seemed to have enraged the scorpion. Its tail spines were raised high, and the hairs of the previous pincers sensed the position of the annoying prey just now and then stabbed hard.

Zhuang Yun turned pale with fright and quickly jumped to dodge. When the scorpion missed the first blow, it quickly started the second attack. At this moment, Lu Jiu moved, and the bow and arrow shot out and hit a certain node in the tail.

After the scorpion roared, the stabbing movement stopped and then looked at Lu Jiu. Regardless of Zhuang Yun, it ran toward her to kill her first.

“Run!” Zhuang Yun shouted, he couldn’t stop the scorpion from running toward Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu stood on the spot and pulled the bowstring again. The black scorpion ran towards her in a straight line like this, but it was better to aim. This time, she shot directly without hesitation and hit the tail node again. This time, the damage was -226.

The scorpion became even angrier, but Shen Jufeng who was standing on its back ignored it.

Shen Jufeng barely stabilized his feet, went to look for the eyes of the scorpion, and soon found two big eyes in the middle of the back. The eyes were pure black, and they kept looking around.

He frowned, this picture doesn’t look good.

He raised his sword high and pierced one of the eyes with all his strength. It was very soft here. The long sword pierced to the end without any hindrance.

“Hiss——” The scorpion howled in pain, and the sound spread far away.

The eyes of this low-intelligence creature finally noticed Shen Jufeng. It didn’t think too much and raised its tail spine and stabbed it down fiercely.

Shen Jufeng was a little surprised, this wild monster’s IQ was too low. It didn’t think he was on its back.

He drew out his sword and jumped away when the tail stab was about to be stabbed. The scorpion couldn’t retract and stabbed its eye.

Lu Jiu also admired the operation of this BOSS. It stabbed itself and even triggered the poisoning state. Unexpectedly, the scorpion itself was not immune to its poison.

Zhuang Yun saw from behind that the black scorpion boss’s HP was dropping blood at -5 each time.

Shen Jufeng stabbed the node with the sword as a support to prevent himself from falling. The boss jumped around in place, screaming in pain.

Less than two minutes later, Shen Jufeng saw the timing and made up the final blow.

[System prompt: Congratulations on getting 2 black scorpion front pincers, 24 pieces of black scorpion hard shell, 200KG black scorpion meat, 1KG black scorpion poison sac, and Fenghua clothes (set).]

Shen Jufeng frowned, he didn’t expect this scorpion to have meat, can it be eaten?

The huge body of the black scorpion boss has turned into spots of light and disappeared. He stood still and put all the rewards on the ground except the scorpion meat.

Lu Jiu saw the foreclaws that were much taller than hers, and she found them majestic. She was in a good mood: “Take this to the blacksmith shop and give it to the store manager. It will make a good piece of equipment.”

Zhuang Yun stared at a soft sac: “This poison, it’s too powerful.” He couldn’t think of what else could be in this sac than poison.

Shen Jufeng took out some scorpion meat and put it in the palm of his hand to check. The meat was snow-white like crab meat: “This is the scorpion meat in the reward, a total of 200 kg. The three of us will share it equally, and see if it is the same as crab meat after we go back.”

Lu Jiu likes crab meat. She felt that scorpion meat was too much of a snack, so she better eats a few hundred kg slowly.

In the end, Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun shared the front claws equally, and Lu Jiu took half of the poison and scorpion meat. The shell and other items were also divided equally among the three.

The remaining glory fragmentary rewards were divided equally. However, Shen Jufeng gave his share to Zhuang Yun. He and Lu Jiu do not lack these.

Zhuang Yun looked at his rich backpack. The smile never disappeared on his face. The results of his hard work for three months were not as good as killing the black scorpion boss.

No wonder these two bigwigs came to Jinghe District to find the boos. It was huge profits.

Shen Jufeng summed up the characteristics of today’s black scorpion: “Although today’s BOSS has extremely high defense and is difficult to fight, its IQ is quite low. Otherwise, no one can defeat it if it has a high IQ and high defense.”

“It’s a good thing you found out the weakness of knot, otherwise, I don’t know how long we’ll have to fight it.” Zhuang Yun lamented that he and Shen Jufeng were both hit with nearly -300 damages.

“Any creature has its weaknesses, and it will be easier to fight if you can find them.” This BOSS was magnified many times to notice the nodes.

Lu Jiu wiped her face and felt that she was the weakest person today. Her arrow shots just irritated the boss: “Fortunately, Zhuang Yun’s giant sword triggered paralysis, otherwise I would have nothing to eat.”

Speaking of this, Shen Jufeng sat up straight and looked at Lu Jiu: “What you did just now is not right. If I wasn’t on its back, you wouldn’t be able to avoid the continuous attacks of that scorpion.”

He barely dodges a few blows because of his high agility, and he has a fighting foundation, which Lu Jiu doesn’t have at all.

Lu Jiu smiled dryly: “I saw you on the scorpion’s back. I knew you would poke its eyes, otherwise, I wouldn’t be so calm.”

However, Shen Jufeng’s eyes were still sharp, and Lu Jiu could only lower her head silently: “I will put sniper arrows in inconspicuous places in the future, don’t worry.”

Shen Jufeng then looked away, looked at Zhuang Yun, took out a piece of equipment from his backpack, and handed it to him. It was the cloth set reward for defeating the black scorpion before: “You take this, I don’t need so much equipment.”

Zhuang Yun almost understood the temperament of these two people, so he accepted it without hesitation. This was a pure black winter suit, with a top and bottom, and can be worn in winter.

So far, everyone regards clothes as defensive equipment, but never thought that they can be used to resist the cold. The set was simply beautifully decorated.

Lu Jiu glanced at the clothes and said to Zhuang Yun: “Keep the clothes well, we can’t guarantee that the game world will not change in the future. Just in case.”

Zhuang Yun immediately thought of something after hearing this and put the clothes into the backpack carefully.
