The Scorpion King's pincers hit Roddy's back.
His body flew out like a kite with a broken string. Over ten meters away, his body did not even show any signs of falling. He only stopped after crashing into and breaking two small trees.
Sally watched the scene unfold in front of her. The muffled sound was like a heavy hammer hitting her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. She wanted to call out Roddy's name, but she found that she couldn't say anything with her mouth open.
There was a moment of silence in the forest. The Scorpion King, whose head was full of dents and blood, stared at the place where Roddy disappeared. It didn't seem to notice Sally who was not far away. Sally, who was holding a dagger in her hand, looked at the Scorpion King, whose body was more than ten times bigger than her, and slowly stood up.
At this time, in Sally's mind, there were no emotions such as anger, regret, or fear. It was as if the scene of Roddy's body flying out was permanently engraved in her mind, and it kept repeating and replaying in front of her eyes …
After the stimulation of the senses, the emotions that followed began to slowly but firmly invade the consciousness.
The chill in her heart spread, and Sally couldn't help but stagger a step. But very quickly, she bit her lips fiercely and suppressed her feelings of despair. She turned around and ran towards the forest in the distance as if she had gone mad. She knew that she couldn't die here. If she could escape, if she could leave this place, she would definitely call all the troops of her family to kill all these damned scorpions!
Even if she had to pay any price!
At this moment, Sally had completely forgotten about the messy "family affairs" within her family. When she thought that Roddy might be seriously injured and die, Sally felt a suffocating feeling spread in her chest.
The Scorpion King sensed Sally and hesitated for a moment. It seemed to be considering whether it should eat Roddy or chase after Sally. The moment of hesitation allowed Sally to escape from its attack range. Two seconds later, the gigantic scorpion king seemed to have finally made up its mind. It moved its furry limbs and chased after Sally in the dark, ignoring Roddy whose fate was unknown.
Up to this point, it looked like they had basically fallen into a losing situation.
When he recovered from the dizziness, Roddy, who was lying on the ground, opened his mouth and tried to breathe, but he only felt that his throat was blocked by something. He coughed, and blood spurted out of his mouth, splattering all over the ground.
The sharp pain in his chest made him open his mouth silently, and it took him almost three to four seconds to regain his senses.
His body didn't listen to him because his spine seemed to have been directly broken. As for the specific number of broken bones, it didn't seem to be important anymore. His ribs pierced through his lungs, and the burning pain spread from his chest. He coughed again from the pain.
"Attributes. Panel."
Roddy understood that he had fallen into a "state of near-death". He looked helplessly at his HP of 4/150, and his heart was cold. In the end, because of his carelessness, he lost everything. Although the HP on the panel was not empty, Roddy knew that if he didn't receive timely treatment, his HP would slowly drop to zero.
Sure enough, he was overconfident. It was not appropriate to use the experience he had gained two years later in the present.
It was too late for regrets. Roddy didn't even know what last words he should leave. He just hoped that Sally could finally escape the Scorpion King's pursuit and survive. The floating number panel in front of him was a little blurry. Roddy looked at the starry sky above his head, which was slightly covered by the trees. Many inexplicable emotions welled up in his heart … It was the first time in his life that he thought about what last words should be. But in the end, the only thing that came to his mind was the figure that he always wanted to see after his rebirth, but never had the chance to.
The pain in Roddy's chest made his expression a little twisted. He looked at the Experience Pane beside him, and the reminder that he needed 32 points to light up the level up button was so glaring.
His vision began to blur. This completely real feeling of impending death made Roddy forget the pain in his body, and he fell into an inexplicable silence.
Heh … I didn't expect to die so soon after my rebirth …
Just as he was about to close his eyes and wait for the moment of death to come, the number in the Experience Pane suddenly changed. What happened to the original change?
Roddy felt that he had lost his sense of hearing, but he instinctively thought of Sally who was running in the distance. Could it be because of her?
His HP was about to drop to zero. Rody's eyes widened as he felt a sudden spark of hope. In another five seconds, he would become an ice-cold corpse with zero HP. However, before that happened, would he be able to reverse the situation because of Sally?
....。。
"Go to hell!"
Sally endured the pain of the wound on her calf, raised her foot and stomped down hard. Then, she used the dagger in her hand to nail a fluorescent scorpion the size of a child to the ground.
Because she was avoiding the Scorpion King, she was far less experienced than Roddy, so she ran straight into the range of the scorpions. But in order to escape, she did not care about the poisonous stingers that Roddy had warned her about, and ran straight over them. The scorpion's tail bit her calf as expected, and the feeling of pain and numbness hit her. But along the way, Sally also trampled many small poisonous scorpions to death.
She no longer cared about the burning pain and the slight dizziness caused by the poison. After bypassing a big tree, Sally used a very decisive and courageous way to kill the scorpion that was following her. She wanted to continue running, but her legs gave way, and she uncontrollably sat on the ground.
Because of the poison, Sally gradually lost control of the muscles in her body.
Then, the Scorpion King's attack came from behind. It lifted its pincers and slashed the tree above Sally's head. Wood chips flew everywhere, and Sally was thrown to the ground by the shock and impact. But because of that, she managed to escape — the flying tree trunks did not hit her delicate body.
But when the Scorpion King locked its eyes on her, it was obvious that Sally could not escape its next attack.
The gigantic body almost covered everything in front of it. When it raised its pincers, the entire sky seemed to be covered, and the fishy smell coming from its mouth sounded as if it was mocking. Sally looked at all of this in despair. The only thing she could think of was not her cold father or her hypocritical brother, but the guy she had called an idiot just a few minutes ago …
In the end, she still couldn't escape …
She could not say the sigh in her heart, because she knew that no one could hear it. But strangely, there was not much regret or anger in her heart. It seemed that the moment she saw Roddy being hit, she was mentally prepared for this moment.
If he died, no one would care about me anymore, right?
In the darkness, the cold pincers were raised to the top, but when they were about to fall down with great force, the Scorpion King's huge body seemed to tremble nervously!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and its whole body suddenly stiffened. Then, the Scorpion King's limbs began to twitch, and its two big pincers began to swing wildly, as if it had lost control. Even Sally could hear the unconcealable pain in its hissing.
What's going on?
Sally tried her best to crawl away, but when she turned around, she saw that the Scorpion King had already given up on attacking. Its limbs twitched as it tried to turn around, but it could not move as nimbly as before because of the pain.
When its body swayed, the vague figure behind it was revealed. Sally's eyes suddenly widened, and she involuntarily covered her mouth.
Roddy was still alive.
His mouth and clothes were covered with a large patch of blood, and it looked very scary. But at this moment, his movements were almost crazy. The scimitar in his hand stabbed straight into the reproductive cavity below the Scorpion King's hind limbs, and not only that, the scimitar forcefully twisted five or six times!
The reproductive cavity was the most vulnerable part of a scorpion's body. Although players knew this, not many could really attack this place, because the Scorpion King was always protecting this weak point. At this moment, Roddy seized this fleeting opportunity to break through the Scorpion King's defense, inflicting heavy damage on it!
Just as his HP was about to reach zero, Roddy's EXP met the requirements to level up. This "level up" HP recovery bug allowed him to instantly heal all the wounds on his body, and "resurrect with full HP." This could not be called a miracle, but it allowed him to directly disappear from the Scorpion King's aggro list, and then he was able to deliver that extremely sinister slash without the Scorpion King noticing!
But this was not enough to end the Scorpion King's life. Seeing that the Scorpion King's HP had dropped to 20%, it immediately turned around and ran towards the wooden spear trap dozens of meters away!
The furious Scorpion King immediately left the stunned Sally behind, and turned around to chase after it. Unexpectedly, Roddy suddenly stopped, turned around, and slashed at an inconspicuous vine in the dark.
The Scorpion King seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, and immediately tried to stop its forward momentum with all its might. But because it had rushed too hard, its body was still rushing forward uncontrollably …
The wooden "spear" suddenly fell.
"Poof!"
Maybe it was because Roddy had too much bad luck before, but at this moment, the wooden spear accurately pierced into the gap in the center of the Scorpion King's carapace, and actually pierced through the Scorpion King's body!
Blood mixed with internal organs splattered on the ground. The six-meter long Scorpion King completely lost the ability to move because of this attack. Its huge scorpion tail swung wildly, but it could only hiss and spin in circles, unable to move. Roddy picked up the horn bow and quiver that he had thrown away when he was smashed into the ground, and strode forward. When he was ten meters away from the Scorpion King, he nocked an arrow on the bow and started shooting without saying a word.
