Chapter 43 Killing the Earth-Walking Fire Scorpion
There was no life on the cracked earth.
An earth-moving fire scorpion leaned out from a huge crack in the ground.
It is a daunting third-level scarlet beast, as big as an ox, and covered with red carapace.
The carapace is covered with sharp spines, a pair of huge compound eyes flashing with a cold light, and the poisonous stinger on the tail is like a long whip burning with flames, waving continuously in the air, making a hissing sound.
When the local fire scorpion moves, the ground will tremble slightly because it cannot bear its weight.
Chen Ping squatted on a huge dead tree, quietly looking at the Earthly Fire Scorpion in the distance.
If attacking from the front, using "Sacrifice", Chen Ping would be 70% sure of breaking through its defense.
Before his rebirth, tens of thousands of people from the Lin family died in order to kill it. Chen Ping also fought hard to get seriously injured before he found its weakness, and finally succeeded in killing it without any danger.
However, Chen Ping is now far stronger than before, and has mastered the Earth Fire Scorpion's weaknesses, so naturally he will no longer be as embarrassed as before.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Earth-walking Fire Scorpion crawled out of the crack in the ground, looking around with its compound eyes as if looking for food.
"call!"
The black knife tore through the air, making a piercing sound.
"Qiang!"
The Earth-moving Fire Scorpion reacted very quickly, flicking its tail to block Chen Ping's black knife, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, the stinger on the Fire Scorpion's tail spurted out scorching flames, and Chen Ping easily dodged it with his agility.
The first confrontation was all about testing the opponent's strength.
Chen Ping took a dozen steps back, and then began to move quickly around the Fire Scorpion, looking for opportunities to attack.
The fire scorpion's carapace is extremely hard, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to damage it.
However, whenever the Fire Scorpion attacks, a tiny gap will be exposed at the connection between its head and torso, which is its weakness.
It was another fierce confrontation. Chen Ping relied on precise calculations and coquettish positioning to seize a fleeting opportunity.
Putting all his strength on the black knife, he made a sharp slash, accurately hitting the Fire Scorpion's weak spot.
The fire scorpion roared in pain and its movements became sluggish.
Taking advantage of the fact that his illness was threatening to kill him, Chen Ping did not hesitate. The black knife in his hand turned into a black light and stabbed the Fire Scorpion in the head.
Fire Scorpion wanted to fight back, but it was too late.
The black knife penetrated the Fire Scorpion's head, killing it completely.
Level three scarlet beasts are invincible in this early stage of the scarlet apocalypse.
Although Chen Ping had killed two of them, the red fire wolf was seriously injured and the blood spider had just laid eggs and was weak.
But this earth-moving fire scorpion is in full bloom.
The entire battle took just over a minute, and Chen Ping didn't even activate "Sacrifice".
Until the Earthly Fire Scorpion completely lost its vitality, Chen Ping, who was breathing heavily, still couldn't believe it.
He knew that after this period of improvement, his strength had made a qualitative leap.
The attribute bonus of "Potential Awakening", the attribute elixir refined from the scales of the two-headed black snake, and the rank of Silver Six Star, allow his basic attributes to directly exceed 100. Judging from the panel data, he can indeed compete with the third-level scarlet beast. A battle.
But he didn't expect that this battle would be so easy.
"Pfft!"
The black knife was pulled out from the connection between the fire scorpion's head and body, bringing out a green stinky liquid.
Two scarlet coins and a blue turntable are the trophies for killing the scarlet beast this time.
"That's all?" Although Chen Ping had already guessed the items used to kill the Earthly Fire Scorpion, when he saw a solitary blue turntable, he still felt that the reward for killing it was too little.
The blue turntable is enough to allow ordinary people to change their fate against the will of heaven, and can even rewrite the rise and fall of a regional power.
After all, if you accumulate an absolute advantage in the early stage, you can seize the opportunity when the Scarlet Secret Realm arrives!
Chen Ping has already opened two blue carousels, and obtained red talents and red props from those two top-quality carousels.
The blue carousel in front of me can only be regarded as middle-to-upper-class. There are two blue-quality prizes in it, and the rest are green and white.
"Bah bang bang!"
Before Chen Ping could put away the turntable, a neutral voice suddenly sounded.
"This brother is really good at it!"
Wearing rimless glasses, a man who looked elegant and bookish walked out from behind a boulder.
Chen Ping immediately put the turntable and scarlet coins in his hand into the space stone, and then carefully looked at the people not far away.
"Little brother, don't be nervous. I'm just passing by, and... I'm penniless and powerless, so I'm not a threat to you!"
"Just seeing how brave my brothers are, killing scarlet beasts like chickens, I just can't help myself..."
Chen Ping was too lazy to listen to that man's nonsense, so he dodged and swung the black knife.
"Qiang!"
The black knife slashed at the man's neck, but the man reacted quickly and raised his hand to block. The black knife slashed on his forearm, making a metallic impact sound.
Chen Ping pulled away, his face slightly changed, and the pain from the tear in the tiger's mouth on his right hand made his entire right arm extremely sore and numb.
"So strong!"
Chen Ping secretly marveled. He had just killed a level three scarlet beast, and his mentality had inevitably changed, so he despised this young man.
"Brother, I really don't mean any harm, and I don't like to fight!"
The man continued to explain, but the killing intent in Chen Ping's eyes did not dissipate.
"Brother, I really just see how brave you are and want to get to know you!" The man was a little anxious.
"If I use 'Sacrifice', I should have a 60% chance of killing him in one blow, but if I do, my life span will be insufficient!"
Chen Ping frowned slightly. He would not use the "Sacrifice" talent easily unless it was absolutely necessary.
"My name is Shen Xiaoqian. What's your name, brother?"
Shen Xiaoqian smiled and was gentle, which made people feel no hostility.
Chen Ping knew that this kind of person was the most dangerous, and he remained alert: "Erdong!"
"Erdong? This surname is really rare!"
"Brother Erdong's skills will surely be able to show off his skills in this scarlet apocalypse!"
While Shen Xiaoqian was speaking, he flicked his right hand lightly, and a piece of iron flew out of his hand and flew straight towards Chen Ping.
"Ding!"
Chen Ping held the black knife horizontally in front of him to block the iron piece, and his other hand quickly stretched out and grabbed the iron piece.
"This is my business card. Ten days later, Jubao Pavilion will hold an underground auction in Binhai Jincheng. If you have time, Brother Erdong can come and participate. Maybe there is something you need!" Shen Xiaoqian always kept a friendly smile on his face. "Thank you for the invitation, Brother Shen. If I have time, I will definitely go!" Chen Ping nodded and agreed. "I still have some things to do. Let's say goodbye. We will talk again tomorrow!" Shen Xiaoqian waved his hand and turned away. Chen Ping didn't like dealing with such literary people, but when he looked closely at the iron sheet in his hand, his face changed slightly. "Jubao Pavilion?" Before the end of the world, there was a Shen's Chamber of Commerce, which was composed of businessmen and its members were all over the world. At that time, the wealth of all members of the Chamber of Commerce had exceeded that of Western capital and chaebols. The Chen family also wanted to squeeze into the Shen's Chamber of Commerce, but it was still a long way from the minimum standard for admission. Even the Lin family was only an "observation member" of this chamber of commerce. After the end of the world, many underground black markets appeared in various places to exchange turntable items or information. Shen's merchants gradually integrated these black markets with their huge resources.
Jubao Pavilion is one of the assets of Shen's Chamber of Commerce, and its main business is the auction of items.
In the early days of the end of the world, Jubao Pavilion did not hold many auctions. It was not until three or four years later, when humans stabilized, that Jubao Pavilion really developed rapidly and monopolized the market.
Shen Xiaoqian's "business card" is also a senior membership card of Jubao Pavilion, which enjoys many discounts.
"Ten days later, Jincheng underground auction..."
Chen Ping suddenly became interested.
In his previous life, he had never participated in such an auction.
In the Lin family, any transaction with Shen's Chamber of Commerce was handled by Lin Shanhai, including participating in the auction of Jubao Pavilion, which was also attended by Lin Shanhai and Lin Ruoyun.
Putting away Shen Xiaoqian's business card, Chen Ping stuffed the body of the fire scorpion into his space stone.
This is the raw material for making intermediate violent potion, so Chen Ping naturally cannot discard it.
His current life span is less than 30 years. The blue turntable in his hand cannot be drawn for the time being, and this place is not very safe.
So Chen Ping hurriedly returned to the armored car and headed towards the Lidu community.
The third-level scarlet beast has been killed, and there is no point in going to the Lin family again.
As for the grudge with the Lin family, it is not so urgent.
What he needs more now is to get life potions!
After a night of rapid travel, he also killed a lot of level 1 and level 2 scarlet beasts on the road.
Before dawn, Chen Ping returned to the Lidu community.
After resting in the car for most of the day and replenishing some food, Chen Ping began to hunt nearby scarlet beasts with the community as the center.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed. During this period, Chen Ping rose one star to reach silver seven stars, and all attributes also increased by two points.
Although he obtained a lot of turntables, there was still no life potion.
Until noon on the fourth day, there was no level 2 scarlet beast within a radius of ten kilometers. When Chen Ping was about to change places, a car with the Lin family logo drove into the Lidu community.
"Brother Dong! You miss me so much, you don't know how you spent these days without me!" Duan Zixuan got out of the car and rushed to Chen Ping, speaking incoherently.
"Brother Dong, I was so worried about you these days. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I don't know who to find to exchange for the primary strength potion!" Su Xixi was relieved when she saw Chen Ping.
"Damn it, we wasted so much time, and the third-level scarlet beast disappeared again!" Li Shan cursed, but his voice seemed very weak. He wanted to buy some antibiotics from the Lin family, but was directly rejected by the Lin family.
"Brother Dong, it was wise for you not to go. It would be a waste if you went!" Ye Shengge shook his head and sighed.
"Next, what are your plans?" Chen Ping asked.
"Of course, we have to return to the Tiemu camp." Ma Zi replied.
"Well, I don't know what the Tiemu camp has become after being away for so long!"
Chen Ping nodded.
Binhai Jincheng is more than 70 kilometers away from Tiemu Camp, and only half an hour away from the entrance to the Scarlet Secret Realm discovered by Chen Ping.
He has been hunting scarlet beasts these days, and he should find a place to rest and change his mood. Otherwise, hunting scarlet beasts for a long time can easily make people "obsessed" and become a madman.
The next morning, a team of nine drove two armored vehicles towards Tiemu Camp.
