The age of great voyages

Chapter 7 Sand Scorpion

Fully armed and ready, he looked around. There was a slight distortion in the air about [-] meters behind and to the left, and occasionally colored lights flashed. It meant that the edge of the space was impassable, and he had to go in the other two directions.

On the right is a high slope full of gravel. These gravels have sharp edges and corners, and walking on them is laborious and expensive.

In front is a sparse forest, with less gravel and more vegetation. Looking into the distance, you can see that the ground has started to change from a gravel beach to a wasteland of fine gravel. Although it is still desolate, it is better than the current place. a little.

Lin Chen thought for a while, and climbed to the right. He wanted to climb to the highest slope nearby to have a look at the surrounding situation.

In just a short while, he made some guesses about the situation of this world fragment. This must be a world fragment without aura. It is called incompetent level in the official term of the Tower of Eternity, but everyone does not understand the word "incompetent". It looks weird, so it is usually replaced by non-aura.

If there is no aura, it means that the fragments of this world are not too dangerous, and correspondingly there will be no rare resources, at most some basic resources, such as wood ore.

Of course, basic resources are also resources, and because of the foundation, they are popular and hard-to-use resources in many territories and worlds connected by the Tower of Eternity. All lords or world lords can buy them unlimitedly, and there is absolutely no need to worry about selling them.

Lin Chen has already made up his mind, spend one day exploring this small fragment of the world, if there are no rare resources, spend the rest of the day searching for everything he can see, and try to get back his money.

He climbed up the gravel slope a few times, and just when he stuck his head out, a black shadow swept towards him. He was so frightened that he subconsciously fell back and rolled down the slope. The weapon on his back made a clanging sound when it hit the angular gravel. .

When the force of rolling downhill was almost exhausted, he pressed the tip of his sword into the gravel beach and stood up. He turned around and saw a person crawling out of the top of the gravel slope.
It was a huge scorpion, about two meters long from head to tail, with a bluish-gray carapace, two huge pincers, six slightly smaller legs to prop itself up, a thick stinger behind the tail, and a sharp tip at the top. The spikes shimmered with cold light, and most importantly, the head of this thing was not a scorpion, but an extremely ugly human-shaped face, but the place on the top of the head where hair should have grown was covered with a thick carapace.

——This is a sand scorpion!

Lin Chen read a book about various dangerous creatures in the void star sea in the family school library, which recorded this monster with a human face and a scorpion body.

This is not a native creature from the prehistoric universe, but a creature from other big universes that collided with the prehistoric universe and was destroyed at the same time. When several big universes collided, although the prehistoric universe was shattered, other big universes were not much better. At the same time, The various fragments produced by destruction and destruction are mixed together, and a large number of creatures from other universes are also scattered in the depths of the void, which are often encountered by descendants.

Fortunately, this kind of sand scorpion is not very strong, that is, it has no extraordinary ability, and its own strength is not very strong.

Of course, this is not very strong means that for the descendants, the sand scorpion is not only much stronger than ordinary people, but the carapace on their body is also very hard. Although it is not as good as fine steel armor, it is not easy to cut through it. If the newcomer who comes does not have a good weapon at hand, it will be difficult to penetrate his armor.

But these sand scorpions have a huge weakness, that is, their eyesight is not good, and their vision is only about 20 meters away, and they can't see clearly any farther away. This can be used.

Lin Chen's right hand clenched the long sword forged from hundreds of refined steel given by his grandfather. With a move of his left hand, a round shield slightly larger than a washbasin appeared in his hand.

This small shield is made of fine steel. It is thicker in the middle and slightly thinner at the edge. There are a few spikes in the middle, and the serrated blades on the edge are quite sharp. It can easily chop off a person's hands and feet with a single blow. The total weight is With a weight of nearly [-] kilograms, Lin Chen had to raise his internal strength to swing flexibly, but his internal strength was not high, so he couldn't continue to fight.

The Sand Scorpion was very excited to see Lin Chen. His mouth was opened wider than ordinary people. Inside was a circle of sharp teeth. A drop of turbid saliva flowed out from his mouth. His six legs bounced and jumped nearly three meters high and landed steadily on the ground. On the gravel slope, two huge pincers rushed towards him waving.

Lin Chen took a step back calmly, staring closely at the rushing Sand Scorpion, and did not take out his bow and arrow to shoot.

It is best to use blunt weapons to deal with this kind of carapace creature, such as a hammer, which can create a hole with one strike. Unfortunately, he did not bring one. The steel accumulated in the Rubik's Cube was basically used up after making arrows and shields. If you buy it yourself, All transactions in the territory are recorded. It was very strange that he bought it without bringing it with him. To avoid trouble, he simply did not buy it.

This is the consequence of inexperience. If he was an experienced descendant, this kind of thing would never happen.

But it was too late to think about this now. Lin Chen kept this in mind and must be more prepared next time to avoid capsizing.

The sand scorpion's speed was not affected in this kind of terrain. It swooped down from the slope, pointed at Lin Chen's shoulders with two open pliers, and seemed to want to take his shoulders off. down.

He immediately retreated two steps nimbly to avoid the sand scorpion's menacing pounce, two large pincers chiseled between the gravel in front of him, sparks flew everywhere.

Lin Chen took the opportunity to step forward with a standard lunge, and quickly thrust his sword out to stab the sand scorpion in the face.

But at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a cold light flashing above the sand scorpion's head. It was the tail of the sand scorpion. His hand holding the shield was numb, and he took a step back involuntarily, and because of this, the sword he stabbed was not strong enough, it only cut through the skin of the sand scorpion man's face, and a stream of blue scorpion blood flowed out.

The blow missed, and Lin Chen decisively stepped back. Two giant pincers hit the place where he was standing. Two pieces of bluestone were stabbed to pieces on the spot, and gravel splashed onto his legs.

This didn't affect his movements, he crossed his feet and retreated a few meters away, and the Sand Scorpion also flew towards him. Just as it rushed out, Lin Chen suddenly kicked a stone that was about half the size of his head and flew away. He hit the sand scorpion's body with a kick, making him crooked. Lin Chen seized the opportunity to rush out with a single step. In an instant, he rushed several meters away. Enter the mouth and pass through the brain.

Consonance step, one-star top-grade lightness kung fu, the secret technique in Lingxi step, he has only practiced this lightness kung fu to the third level now, one step is only a few meters away, if he can practice it like the teacher who taught this lightness kung fu to great success, one step will be instant It can span more than ten meters in a short time, and with good internal strength and a good sword, the sudden explosion is very terrifying.

Lin Chen's lightness kung fu and internal kung fu are not very high, but he has a good sword, which broke out when the sand scorpion's body was out of balance, and he succeeded in killing him in one fell swoop.
