Chapter 1189 Sand Scorpion

With each step closer to the portal, my nervousness and frantic heartbeat became more intense.

To be honest, I'm a little scared.

Facing the unknown and facing the threat of death, it would be a mistake to say you are not afraid!

But this is what I have to face, because I am not sure whether Phoenix and the others are on the twenty-first floor.

If Phoenix and the others are not on the 21st floor, should I go down to the 22nd floor and take a look?

If there is still nothing on the 22nd floor, should I continue going down?

The twenty-third floor. The twenty-fourth floor. Until, I try my best and can’t take another step forward?

Thinking of this, my steps stopped, my body stopped, my hands were trembling slightly, and I was shaken.

Odachi's voice came into my mind while I was shaking: "Are you afraid?"

"Yes, I'm scared," I said without hiding it.

"What are you afraid of?" Odachi asked.

"I'm afraid of death, and I'm also afraid that Fenghuang and the others will never be found," I said.

"Are you worried about them?"

"That's right and that's wrong." I took a deep breath and said, "Maybe it's because I've been with them for a long time and I'm afraid of being alone again, so I'm afraid of losing them."

"Since you are afraid of losing them, why don't you keep moving forward?" The Odachi made a 'cut' sound and said, "I think you are more afraid of death."

"I'm afraid of death" I murmured several times and slowly lowered my head: "Yes, I'm afraid of death."

"Since you are afraid of death, there is no need to keep going forward." Odachi's voice was as bewitching as the song of a siren: "Take a step back. As long as you take a step back, nothing can threaten your life." , you will be perfectly safe and forever alone.”

"Loneliness. No, I don't want to be lonely anymore, no!"

For a moment, memories flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern. When I first arrived in this world, everyone around me died from my mysterious and terrifying destructive power. I walked out of the village that had long been reduced to ruins, walking endlessly.

At that time, I longed to have someone by my side, even if it wasn't a person, just a dog, a cat, or even a bug, but no, nothing.

In this way, I walked lonely for a while. I don’t know how many days and nights passed, but I finally reached a town. I wanted to find a job to make a living, but I was rejected time and time again because of my sloppy clothes and unknown identity.

Hungry and cold, I looked for any place that could give me hope.

Finally, in a daze, I entered the underground city.

Although I almost died in the dungeon, my life changed because of this.

First, he met the proprietress of the cafe, Barbara and a group of cafe maids. Then he met Bai Yunying during an adventure. Later, he got to know Cagalli and the others by chance. Then he met Phoenix, and then the weird one. The duo, Mi Lulu, Princess Aurora, etc.

It is precisely because of them that my life becomes colorful, and it is precisely because of them that my journey finally has meaning.

"Yes, you are right." I felt clear before my eyes, and my heart became clear at the same time: "Although I am afraid of death, loneliness is more terrifying than death. I want to enter the twenty-first floor. If the twenty-first If there is no level, I will force my way to the 22nd level. I will keep moving forward and I will not stop until I find Phoenix and the others!"

The moment the burden that binds you is broken, any wavering will cease to exist.

The moment I firmly raised my legs and stepped into the twenty-first floor, I knew that what was waiting for me would be more terrifying monsters and a difficult and dangerous road ahead, but I would no longer back down, because I wanted to find my family.

The first sight is a desert.

As far as the eye can see are yellow sand and ruins, as well as a few stubborn weeds.

If it weren't for some elf adventurers fighting monsters, perhaps there wouldn't be much life here.

Observe the surroundings carefully, especially the monsters fighting the adventurers. Each of them is as long as a person, and they are all khaki in color. They move on six arthropod-like legs as thick as an adult thigh to avoid attacks. At the same time, they are waving a pair of huge pincers. The pincers push away the elves that want to get closer, and the most frightening thing is that there is a hooked tail spine behind it. The tip of the tail spine is black. You can tell at a glance that it is highly poisonous.

This is a scorpion that is earthy yellow except for the tip of its tail stinger.

"Just call it Sand Scorpion" I said to myself.

After observing the battles of the elf adventurers for a while, I almost understood the fighting methods of monsters like sand scorpions, as well as some of their weaknesses.

The sand scorpion moves very fast, even comparable to the ghost-faced spider. Although its claws are huge, they are extremely flexible. However, when the agility reaches the level of an elf, you can still avoid being pinched as long as you pay more attention. However, judging from the force with which the sand scorpion swings its claws and the sound it makes when the claws are empty, if it is accidentally caught, it will probably break bones and tendons.

Although in the eyes of the priest, it is only a matter of time for these injuries to heal, but this place is equivalent to a battlefield, changing rapidly every second. If you are injured, you can still be healed, but if you die, no one can save you.

But what interests me the most is its tail spine.

On Earth, the scorpions we encounter are all very small, but their venom is surprisingly powerful, and some can even be fatal.

I don't know how much the poison is related to the size of the insect itself, but in my opinion, the poison of the sand scorpion's tail stinger is definitely not something that ordinary people can withstand.

Anyway, I don’t want to be stung by that thing.

I thought that after observing for a while, I would start selectively spawning monsters, but unexpectedly, a sand scorpion quietly approached me and wanted to attack me. The tail sting was quite fast. Fortunately, I was there. I had already seen its movement in my peripheral vision, and was ready to dodge, so I just escaped.

The tail thorn that came at a rapid pace did not hit me. It stopped out of thin air, shook twice, and then put it back on its back again.

The sand scorpion opened its ferocious mouth and let out a harsh growl, seeming to express its dissatisfaction with my dodge, or perhaps its anger at me as a snack who refused to die in peace.

I stood still, took a stance, swung the Naotachi twice, dragged the Odachi to the ground again, sneered and said, "What, you want to eat me so much?"

The sand scorpion didn't understand my words, but its next behavior showed what it meant - it was really eager to eat me.

The pincers were dancing wildly, the tail sting was stabbing fiercely, and the crazy attack instantly enveloped me, trying to kill me in one go.

But I am no ordinary person. I kept moving and dodging, dodging fatal attacks one after another. At the same time, my two swords danced wildly, attacking the sand scorpion's carapace from various angles.

For a moment, there was the sound of the pincers clamping, the tail thorn stabbing, the sound of the two knives dancing, and the sound of the blades clashing.
