  Wei Xiao Bei did not show any mercy at all. He was quite familiar with how to deal with insects.

  Wei Xiao Bei lightly pulled the great spear back and then thrust it again. Without even a single breaths time, three open holes had been left on the scorpion’s body. Deep blue liquid flowed out from the holes and when the scorpion landed on the sand, the deep blue liquid immediately splattered out and mixed with it.

  Whoosh.

  Wei Xiao Bei was not done. He took this chance to thoroughly kill the scorpion.

  He once again thrust the great spear, making the spearhead strike against the middle part of its tail, and hit it three times.

  Kacha. The scorpion’s tail was not able to endure this great amount of damage, and there sound of its shell cracking,he tail was cut off by the great spear soon after. The giant scorpion that had its tail cut shuddered on the ground, thoroughly losing all will to attack.

  No matter how much vitality the scorpion had, it was not able to endure having the spear pass through it countless times.

  After a while, the scorpion died giving Wei Xiao Bei 50 evolution points.

  Battlelog:……

  Encountered 1-Star Elite Creature, Giant Black Scorpion……

  Killed Giant Black Scorpion……

  Battle ends

  Giant Black Scorpion?

  Luckily, when Wei Xiao Bei searched the web on Chinese myths, he also took a look at foreign myths.

  When he tried to recall it, he was able to remember something about these Giant Black Scorpions.

  In ancient Egypt, there was a scorpion goddess named Serket.

  In ancient Egyptian mythology, the position of the goddess was quite high. Many pharaohs had viewed her as a guardian goddess.

  Scorpion stings lead to paralysis and Serket’s name had meant, “she who tightens the throat”, however, Serket’s name could also be read as meaning, “she who causes the throat to breathe”, and so, as well as being seen as stinging the unrighteous, Serket was seen as one who could cure scorpion stings and the effects of other venoms such as snakebites.

  Moreover, the scorpions that this scorpion goddess commands had black exoskeletons and huge bodies.

  Furthermore, the desert in front of him felt similar to pictures of Egypt he had seen before.

  When he thought about this, he couldn’t help let out a bitter smile, not knowing whether his guess was correct or not.

  If this place was truly Egypt, then the topography of The Dust World was more difficult to predict than he thought.

  The only thing was that Wei Xiao Bei did not remember anything about Egypt having a fiery red mountain range.

  No matter what was said, anything could happen in this mysterious Dust World.

  After defeating the Giant Black Scorpion, Wei Xiao Bei became even more careful in his journey. Even his footsteps became lighter. After all, he knew that a scorpion did not rely on its eyes to find prey but their sense of smell.

  Moreover, it was also able to sense the vibrations in the sand caused by its prey’s movement. Other than that, it also relied on sound, relying on the sensory hairs on their legs.

  Rustle, rustle, rustle. No matter how much Wei Xiao Bei lightened his footsteps, he was unable to stop the influence of his huge body size which caused more vibrations.

  In reality, even if Wei Xiao Bei was as lithe as a swallow, moving even a little bit of sand was enough to cause sound and vibrations. In the end, he was eventually discovered by a hidden scorpion.

  After passing a few sand dunes, Wei Xiao Bei chose to move in between the sand dunes. That way he would not waste as much stamina.

  Rustle, rustle, rustle. The more Wei Xiao Bei walked the more he encountered scorpions.

  When he just passed a sand dune, three protrusions appeared on the side of the sand dune and moved towards him.

  Compared to the scorpion he encountered before, the three protrusions were much faster.

  From his visual estimate they were moving at 6 meters per second.

  This kind of speed was roughly around elementary students running a hundred meter dash.

  He took the great spear off his shoulder and dragged it towards the sand dune on the right.

  Perhaps sensing that Wei Xiao Bei wanted to escape, the three protrusions increased their speed.

  However, after moving to in between the dunes, and moving towards the top again, their speeds could not help slow down, reducing their speed to about 3 meters per second.

  In reality, Wei Xiao Bei felt a sense of intellectual superiority after seeing the three protrusions chase after him without giving up.

  No matter how strong the scorpions were, they were still insects.

  If they had come out from the sand and chased after him, their speeds would have been many times faster. However, their innate nature forced them to hid their bodies in order to ambush the enemy. As a result they could only hide in the sand in dejection.

  When Wei Xiao Bei reached the top of the sand dune, he ran to the other side with a slower speed.

  Processing this, the three protrusions also followed suit and followed behind in a diagonal line.

  After chasing and stopping, the three protrusions were now following Wei Xiao Bei in a straight line. Each one of them were separated by quite a distance.

  This should be enough!

  Kill!

  At this point, Wei Xiao Bei smiled. His movements quickened once more, breaking into a stride. He combined the force in his leg, waist, and arm to leap up.

  Sudden Thrust!

  The three meter long great spear was a like a black line as it instantly pierced towards the protrusion five meters behind him.

  Following the thrust, the protrusion immediately sprayed out black liquid.

  Raise!

  Wei Xiao Bei raised the great spear upwards.

  Dig!

  With a whoosh, sand spread all over the place. When the spear head shot out, it brought with it the Giant Black Scorpion, sending it flying out the sand.

  Break!

  Wei Xiao Bei shook his hands, creating vibrations with the pole. The Giant Black Scorpion that was pierced by the the great spear had its back break open. Its body was also split in half as it flew through the air.

  Although there was still movement in its legs as it struggle, with half of its body gone, the Giant Black Scorpion was toast.

  Wei Xiao Bei became happy seeing this scene.

  He felt that his martial skill had once again improved.

  If it was the previous Wei Xiao Bei who did the break, he could at most send the scorpion flying away from the spearhead. He would never have been able to split it in half if it were the past him.

  If he was at the middle layer of positive jing before, he was now at the upper middle layer. He was not able to release all of his body’s energy, but he was able to release at least 80 percent.

  The most happiest thing was that his spear techniques had grown again.

  Wei Xiao Bei took this time to look at his status panel.

  There were changes just a he expected. Although his Bajiquan remained at mastery level, the color had become darker.
