Inside the dark cave, four Standing Scorpions were rapidly moving forward. Three of them were holding glowing crystals in their hands to illuminate the way, while the fourth was being dragged along the ground by the other three.
Normally, a heavy blow to the head would cause one to fall unconscious, but Rin didn't, because the spy didn't have a brain … but the spy still pretended to be unconscious, which was why this happened. The three Standing Scorpions used their crystal spears to 'stun' the spy, then dragged it deeper into the cave …
They did not notice Susumi sleeping next to them, probably because the light from the crystals they used for illumination was very dim, so they did not notice her.
They were currently moving in the opposite direction of where the other Standing Scorpions lived. Rin wanted to see where they were going, as these Standing Scorpions were clearly different. As for Susumi, she decided to let her stay there for the time being. There was plenty of food there, and Rin could also communicate with her through the shield, so she didn't have to worry about Susumi running around.
"Ru, oi oi, katwa …"
"Oi …"
The three Standing Scorpions who were dragging the spy kept talking. Although Rin couldn't understand what they were saying, they all seemed to be very sad, and the main object of their sadness was: the spy … why?
Rin saw one of the Standing Scorpions pick up a red crystal and say: "Oi oi oi?"
Another Standing Scorpions immediately slapped the crystal away and shouted: "Oi oi oi!"
They continued to quarrel while dragging the spy along. Along the way, Rin tried to understand what they were saying. Slowly, Rin began to understand.
The three Standing Scorpions had already treated Rin's spy as their companion. The one who appeared at the very beginning. The Standing Scorpions who attacked Susumi with their crystal spears. They didn't know that the Standing Scorpions were already dead …
Then, perhaps because Rin began to act strangely when she encountered them, they thought that the spy was affected by the red crystal's illusory effect, so they knocked the spy unconscious and dragged it back. They continued to quarrel and mourn along the way.
Why mourn? They were just affected by the illusion. But the strangest thing was that they actually mourned for their own kind? Before, they clearly didn't care about their own kind, not even when they died, so why were these Standing Scorpions mourning? Were they normal?
At this point. Rin noticed that the surroundings had become much brighter. There were many glowing crystals on the ground, and they were arranged neatly, and there were even more … Standing Scorpions holding crystal spears.
"Bagalu!" When they encountered other Standing Scorpions, the three Standing Scorpions would raise their hands and greet them, and the other Standing Scorpions would also respond.
Wasn't this place called Lutewa, but Bagalu? So when Lin first mentioned Lutewa, he was considered abnormal?
Lin noticed that there were a lot of standing scorpions gathered here. Some of them were grabbing bugs on the ground, while others were just standing there in a daze. However, he didn't see any signs of fighting, nor did he see any disputes or anything like that. They seemed to get along well.
These Standing Scorpions...
... Standing Scorpions's......... Scorpions's Standing Scorpions. Scorpions to the front of the house..... and standing Scorpions.... Scorpions''s'. ''s''s' '' '?''s.......
.... There was a sound in the house, and a Standing Scorpion came out. Rin looked at the Standing Scorpion carefully and saw that there were many scars on its carapace. It seemed to have experienced many fights.
Seeing it, Rin felt like she had seen a leader. Did Standing Scorpions have a leader? If this group of Standing Scorpions had a leader, it would explain their normal behavior. After all, the previous group of Standing Scorpions fought each other because they didn't have a leader.
The three Standing Scorpions dragging the spy said something to the leader. The leader looked at the spy and shook its head regretfully.
The leader seemed to think that the spy was hopeless. It turned out that they didn't have a way to remove the illusion. That's why the previous three were so sad …
The leader stepped forward, looked at the spy's' 'head, and picked up a crystal spear …
Was it that easy to kill him? Looking at the crystal spear stabbing down at him, the spy immediately turned over and dodged. The spear stabbed into the ground with the leader's' strength.
The spy then jumped up and quickly fled in a direction. Only then did the leader and the three Standing Scorpions react. They immediately shouted and chased after the spy!
Perhaps in their minds, Standing Scorpions who were affected by the illusion would become listless. The spy's sudden jump had indeed frightened them, causing them to be unable to react for a moment. However, the leader and the three Standing Scorpions weren't the only ones chasing after the spy. The surrounding Standing Scorpions also joined in the chase.
"Oh, oh, oh!" While roaring, they hurled their crystal spears at the spy. A large number of crystal spears pierced the ground around the spy, but Lin managed to evade every single one of them. The spy crouched down and used all of his limbs to crawl around the crystal huts, but that only alarmed even more scorpions, causing them to rush out from their huts to join in the pursuit of the spy.
More and more Standing Scorpions chased after the spy, and the spy relied on his speed and agility to leave them behind. After running among the houses for a while, Rin could already see the exit ahead.
Whoosh! At that moment, a crystal spear flew over and pierced through the thin carapace of the Standing Scorpions. The spear penetrated the spy's back, but the spy's speed didn't decrease and he continued running forward …
Finally, Rin rushed out of the houses where the Standing Scorpions lived and ran quickly into the dark depths of the cave.
Seeing that the spy had escaped into the darkness, most of the Standing Scorpions stopped chasing, but the leader and the first three Standing Scorpions still chased after him …
The spy kept running deeper into the cave. The surroundings were getting darker and darker. After running for a while, he could no longer see the houses from before. However, the leader and the three Standing Scorpions didn't give up. They held glowing crystals in their hands to use for illumination, but the light wasn't bright enough. They had lost the spy …
"Oh …" The leader stopped the three Standing Scorpions when he realized that he had lost the spy. He used the glowing crystals to illuminate the surrounding environment. There were rocks everywhere, so it was impossible to find the spy.
