The sound of the ground cracking could be heard again. Roddy cursed and immediately dodged to the side. Instantly, he felt another tree behind him shatter into pieces. He quickly hid under the giant tree that was originally used to deal with Therix. As he listened to the rapidly spinning sawdust piercing deep into the tree trunk, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
There was no other way. Since this mutated giant scorpion had entered the battle, there was no way for him to escape. He could only win this battle. If he lost, he would die.
But as for a countermeasure, Roddy's chaotic mind could not come up with one at all. In the end, he decided to try the old method.
He took a deep breath and stepped out of the giant tree that was used by countless players to "fly kites". He was prepared to attract the Scorpion King's attention. But just as he revealed his head, he saw a rapidly enlarging black shadow.
"Boom!"
If Roddy had not dodged in time, half of his body would have been smashed into minced meat!
This unknown Scorpion King destroyed one-third of the tree trunk with one blow. Roddy could only feel a large number of insects and leaves falling from the top of his head. His heart instantly felt cold.
Running far away, Roddy already understood that trees of this thickness could not stop the Scorpion King. Left with no choice, he found the thickest giant tree in the forest and waited for the Scorpion King to come over. Before he could catch his breath, he realized that the Scorpion King suddenly stopped in its tracks. It suddenly began to hit the ground with its two large pincers, and at the same time, it let out an ear-piercing hissing sound.
"This … this is the second phase of summoning?!"
Rustling sounds could be heard, and countless flickering shadows appeared in the dark forest. These small fluorescent scorpions that were summoned by the Scorpion King should only appear when its HP dropped to 70%. Who knew that before Roddy could even touch them, they had already swarmed over in large numbers!
When Rody thought of Sally who was not far away, he did not know how to deal with her. He anxiously shouted towards the darkness, "Run! Run! Run as far as you can! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Roddy felt the giant tree he was leaning against suddenly tremble!
Countless broken pieces flew past his face. Roddy realized that the Scorpion King's pincers were deeply embedded in the originally hard tree trunk. The fur on the pincers were less than ten centimeters away from his eyes …
Everything had gone beyond his imagination. It was completely different from what he had expected.
According to the original plan, Roddy was supposed to bring the Scorpion King to the trap. After the Scorpion King was lured by the fishy smell, he would use the hanging stones to smash the Scorpion King's head to reduce its HP. When the Scorpion King was stunned, he would rely on the poisoned arrows to cause continuous damage. Finally, he would use the giant tree spear to deal a fatal blow …
But now, it seemed that the violent giant scorpion in front of him did not fall for this trick at all. Roddy could feel that its strength was so great that it could ignore most of the obstacles in the trees. Its giant pincers could easily break a large tree with a single swing. The thickness of its carapace was also beyond imagination. When a fallen giant tree hit it, it did not seem to have any effect at all. Although Roddy maintained a calm expression on his face, he actually felt a huge pressure in his heart. At this moment, Sally's scream from afar made his heart sink.
If Sally died in the hands of those scorpions, it could be said that all his previous efforts would be in vain. Thinking of this, Roddy simply made up his mind. Looking at the trap that was only a few dozen meters away, he broke into a run.
Don't worry about whether it would work or not, just try it first.
In the distance, Sally, who was placed behind the giant tree by Roddy, had definitely experienced the most terrifying scene in her life.
She never thought that there would suddenly be so many fluorescent scorpions under the ground, and each of them was extremely huge. Even with Roddy's warning, Sally was still scared and screamed. She was forced to retreat by the densely packed scorpions in front of her until her back was against the tree. Only then did she realize that she had actually attracted all the scorpions that had appeared.
Sally certainly did not know that there was a skill in the game called "Group Taunt", but it was obvious that her current behavior had simply explained the essence of this skill. Looking at the hundreds of scorpions that had already surged towards her, Sally clenched the dagger that Roddy gave her. For a moment, both of her legs were actually weak and she could not move. She looked in the direction of Roddy in the distance as if asking for help, but she heard that his voice was full of determination.
"Run?"
When Sally heard the other person's indistinct voice, she then remembered that she could not rely on anyone at this moment.
Strength seemed to have returned to her body. The usually calm and quick-witted girl at this moment finally regained control of her body. She took a deep breath and looked at the countless scorpions that had yet to close up the encirclement in front of her. She suddenly ran out!
"Go around the tree stump. Go around the tree stump. "
Silently reciting the method that Roddy taught her, Sally's small face tensed up as she shuttled through the forest. Her running speed was far slower than Roddy's, but it was still slightly faster than these short legged scorpions that were not good at running. The cold wind blew past her face. Sally frowned and tried hard to identify the direction in front of her. She calmly began to hide around the thick tree trunks.
Logically speaking, as long as these scorpions rushed up and surrounded her, there would be no way for Sally to escape. However, the actual situation was a little unbelievable to Sally. When Sally's figure disappeared behind the tree trunk, the rapidly crawling scorpions were collectively stunned for a moment. After that, only a small portion of them continued to move towards the tree trunk where Sally was hiding. The rest of them slowed down and squeezed behind as if they were queuing up!
For players, this was just a way to deal with the scorpions using the system's settings. It could not even be considered a "bug". However, for Sally, it meant that she could use the method that Roddy told her to save her life!
The shock in Sally's heart was gradually replaced by a strange feeling. As she ran, she could not help but think of another question. What was Roddy doing now? Was there an accident?
Before she had the time to look into the distance, the Scorpion King's painful roar came from the forest.
The glowing scorpion on the ground suddenly paused. Then, as if it was suddenly stimulated, it instantly sped up. This made Sally, who was already panting, extremely nervous. She also sped up her escape.
In the distance, Roddy had just cut off the second vine that was tied to the rock, and the huge rock smashed onto the scorpion's head.
"Bang!"
The Scorpion King's head was smashed. Broken rocks flew everywhere, but it did not move at all.
Roddy was also quite surprised. He did not expect that the fish he threw into the trap would have such a miraculous effect. After smelling the fish, the scorpion king completely gave up on Roddy. It waved its giant claws and searched for the smelly fish that Roddy threw into the trap. It actually had no intention of continuing the chase.
What is this? Chaotic hatred? BUG？
Facing this unfamiliar Scorpion King boss, Roddy was puzzled. He immediately seized the opportunity to smash the huge rock on the scorpion king's body. The scorpion king's roar immediately gave him a chance to win this battle.
When the third rock hit the scorpion king's head, blood splattered and a dent appeared on the carapace of the scorpion king's head. Even so, the scorpion king still did not shift its attention to Roddy. Its huge body crawled in the forest. Even if it fell into Roddy's trap, it could escape from the deep pit in two seconds. It seemed that the reason it was so crazy was just to swallow the raw bait one by one.
At the side, Roddy took advantage of the situation and smashed five huge rocks on the scorpion king's head.
This battle, which was full of surprises, fell into a strange atmosphere. Roddy could see the Instance Dungeon boss's HP through the interface. At this moment, the scorpion king's HP had already been reduced by 50%. However, this situation made him even more nervous. He did not have an unlimited number of rocks in his hands. With a total of seven rocks and a wooden spear, Roddy was still not confident that he could kill the scorpion king.
The strange behavior of the scorpion king was completely unreasonable. Even if it was the plan to deal with Therix, it was not to watch the scorpion king foolishly jump into the trap and get smashed to death.
The strangeness of the situation made Roddy feel extremely uneasy. However, he did not dare to stop his actions. When the scorpion king ate the seventh fish thrown into the trap, the last huge rock was blocked by the scorpion king's pincers!
"Bang!"
The sound of hard bone and rock colliding resounded through the forest, causing Roddy to freeze on the spot. He definitely did not expect the scorpion king to be smart enough to block such an attack!
If it was the Therix of the past, these seven rocks would have been enough to smash the scorpion king to death. At that time, he would only need to use the wooden spear to determine the outcome of the battle. But now, the scorpion king's movement speed was still extremely fast, and it even had more than 40% of its HP left.
It looked like Roddy had the upper hand, but in reality, if he took a wrong step, he would immediately be consigned to eternal damnation!
After the scorpion king ate the last fish, it immediately turned its attention to Roddy. This time, with only the horn bow left in his hand, he was still more than 20 meters away from the scorpion king. However, Roddy, who had already tried to attack before, knew that he could not break through the scorpion king's carapace defense. Hence, he ran towards the tree that had previously blocked the scorpion king, hoping to find the scorpion king's weakness while he was circling the tree.
However, he didn't expect to see Sally, who had circled around a tree and was running towards him, not long after he started running!
This was definitely a blunder that no one wanted to see happen. Both of their legs were already a little stiff from running, and they could only watch as the scorpion king became bigger and bigger in their vision. Then, they collided with each other.
Rody instinctively stretched out his arms and grabbed her as she fell to the ground. At the same time, he used the momentum to roll away. His weight and speed were much greater than Sally's. That was why after the collision, Sally was completely carried away by him. When she recovered from the dizziness, Sally had already run with all her might to the point where she could not even speak.
"Ro … Ro …" Roddy, I — "
Sally wanted to say something, but when she clearly saw the scorpion king behind Roddy, the little girl who had never seen such a terrifying creature opened her mouth silently and was completely stunned on the spot.
Roddy did not need to look back to know that the scorpion king had entered his attack range. In a moment of desperation, he half-knelt and grabbed Sally's body with both hands.
"Get up —"
With a roar, Roddy seemed to have unleashed all the potential of the human body, and threw Sally four to five meters away like a sack!
He did not even know why he did it, and his mind was filled with instinctive thoughts. Perhaps it was because his heart had never been cruel to the point where he regarded human life as worthless. At this time, his action was completely to get Sally away from the danger behind him.
In Sally's vision, in the spinning world, Roddy's shadow was getting further away from her. She stretched out her hand, trying to grab him. However, under the dim light, a huge pincer suddenly appeared on Rody's back...
"No —"
