Chapter 158: Injured
Middle stage of metamorphosis!
Duan Qing's pupils contracted, and he thought to himself that he was careless. Just now, his mind was all on the corpse of the winged snake, and he didn't realize that the beast had come behind him, and he was attacked by it!
His combat experience was too lacking! He was distracted for a moment and didn't pay attention to the movements around him!
He felt a little tricky at this time. If he hadn't been injured, he would have dared to fight with the beast with the protection of the Vermillion Bird Armor, but now his left hand could not move, and the wound on his left chest restricted his body's movement more than usual. If he fought with the beast in close combat, he would be in danger!
Kill it from a distance with a flying sword! Duan Qing quickly made a strategy. He was unwilling to escape. After waiting for two days, he finally waited for such a big guy. He had to give it a try. If it didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to escape then. Anyway, the beast in front of him didn't look like it could fly, so what could he do?
He kicked the broken reef block on the ground with his right foot towards the scorpion-shaped monster. Bang! The reef block was smashed to pieces by the sharp spikes of its tail vertebrae like tofu dregs.
Taking advantage of the moment when the scorpion monster was dragged by the reef, Duan Qing took back the flying sword on the ground and used the sword control technique to quickly rise into the air.
Swish, swish, swish!
Three sounds of breaking through the air were heard. Duan Qing, who had been paying attention to the scorpion monster, quickly manipulated the flying sword to turn, but was still hit by one of the spikes on the flying sword under his feet, making a crisp sound of metal and iron intersecting. The impact force attached to it almost made him fall off the flying sword!
This beast! Duan Qing was a little annoyed, and he used the black ancient dagger to attack it with two minds.
The invincible black ancient dagger hit the dark carapace on the back of the scorpion monster, but it did not penetrate it, but only hit a white spot on it, and the black ancient dagger was bounced off.
What a strong defense! Duan Qing recalled the black ancient dagger and was a little surprised. The carapace of this beast could not be broken even by the black ancient dagger!
Although the black ancient dagger did not cause any substantial damage to it, it obviously angered the scorpion-shaped monster. It raised its huge claws and waved them at Duan Qing in the sky, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and made a strange hissing sound.
Duan Qing suddenly felt something was wrong. He saw that the beast suddenly pressed down, and its eight legs exerted force at the same time, and actually jumped directly towards him.
What if it caught him? Duan Qing's scalp was numb and he ran away directly, controlling the flying sword to escape far away. The scorpion-shaped monster pounced on it.
Humph, it's not that easy to catch me! After avoiding the empty pounce of the scorpion-shaped monster, he felt a little proud in his heart. Even the late-stage Transcendental Monster Bishui Jiao couldn't catch up with me. What can you, a short-legged beast that can't fly, do to me!
Hmm? Just when Duan Qing was getting a little carried away, he suddenly felt that the flying sword under his feet was somewhat out of control. He looked down and was immediately frightened. His mind was agitated and the spiritual power supply to the Suzaku Armor suddenly fluctuated. The Suzaku Armor could no longer be maintained and disappeared.
Although the beast missed, it had somehow wrapped its tail around the end of the flying sword and pulled him down to the reef below.
"Suzaku Armor!"
Duan Qing didn't have time to think about why the beast's tail suddenly became long enough to grab his flying sword. He immediately let go of the black ancient dagger in his hand, pinched his fingers and tapped his forehead. Before landing, he used the Suzaku Armor again to protect his body. If he fell directly to the ground with his flesh and blood body, not to mention what the beast would do to him, the force of the fall alone would be enough to make him suffer.
Bang! Bang!
The scorpion monster fell heavily on its back and smashed into the reef, smashing the reef into pieces. Unfortunately, Duan Qing fell into its abdomen and was tightly bound by its eight legs as soon as he landed.
However, in a moment, its eight legs were burned by the Suzaku Armor and changed color, and even emitted an indescribable smell.
The scorpion monster wanted to throw Duan Qing out in pain, but Duan Qing refused to give in. He grabbed one of its legs with one hand and stuck to its abdomen, maximizing the damage of the Suzaku Armor.
The scorpion monster was obviously very angry. It turned its whole body over with its tail and rushed into the sea with a hiss. Duan Qing could only use one hand, so he immediately broke away from the scorpion monster's abdomen, fell to the ground and was dragged by the scorpion monster.
Realizing the intention of the beast, Duan Qing had to let go. If he was pulled into the sea by the beast, it would be troublesome, and the Suzaku Armor could not hurt the beast even with the sea water blocking it!
After escaping from the belly of the scorpion monster, Duan Qing quickly stood up and retrieved the black ancient dagger to prevent the beast from attacking again.
The scorpion monster was indeed very vengeful. After getting rid of the burning of Duan Qing's Suzaku Armor, it did not continue to flee into the sea, but turned around and looked at Duan Qing hatefully. It swung its tail vigorously, and most of the spikes on it, including the largest one at the end, plus the flying sword wrapped by it, shot towards Duan Qing like a rain of pear blossoms.
There were too many spikes and the attack range was very large. In addition, the speed was too fast. Duan Qing had no way to hide. He only had time to hold the black ancient dagger in front of him, and countless spikes had already arrived in front of him.
Bang! Bang! Bang...!
Almost a dozen spikes, including the thickest one, hit Duan Qing one after another. The surface of the Suzaku Armor was rippling continuously, almost on the verge of collapse. As the largest spike finally hit the Suzaku Armor, the Suzaku Armor, which had never been broken since Duan Qing learned it, was actually broken by external force for the first time. The entire Suzaku Armor gradually collapsed from the impact point of the spikes.
At the same time, the huge impact force also instantly knocked him away and fell far into the sea.
This was not the first time Duan Qing drowned, but it was the most uncomfortable time for him. Without the protection of the Suzaku Armor, the seawater poured into the wounds on his left chest and left arm, which made him more injured. Duan Qing endured the severe pain and forcibly performed the sword control technique, dragging his body out of the water as soon as possible with the black ancient dagger.
The sea in the bottle was full of monsters. Staying in the sea water was a sure way to die. His situation was not optimistic at this time. Although the Suzaku Armor was broken just now, the spikes were powerless to hurt him. His injuries were mainly caused by the previous sneak attack by the beast. Two spikes pierced his left arm and left chest. After some activities and being knocked into the water, his entire left half of his body was almost stained with blood.
Looking down from a high place, Duan Qing was very angry at the scorpion-shaped monster lying on the reef, which looked a little weak. Today, it was either you or me!
He used the Suzaku Armor to protect his body again and dived towards the scorpion-shaped monster. On the way, he picked up the huge spikes that fell on the reef and held them in his hand. Duan Qing rushed towards the scorpion-shaped monster with an unstoppable momentum.
Seeing this, the scorpion-shaped monster finally showed a cowardly look and tried to stand up and escape, but it seemed to be abnormally weak after losing so many spikes, especially the thickest one at the tip of the tail. The speed of its movement was much slower than before, and it was a little crooked.
Duan Qing quickly caught up with the scorpion monster with his sword, flew to the top of its head, and stabbed it hard with the huge spike. To his surprise, the spike encountered almost no resistance and pierced the beast's head, and even penetrated deeply into the reef, nailing it to death on the reef.
After landing, Duan Qing was still worried, so he retrieved the flying sword nailed to the edge of the reef and made another sword attack on the scorpion monster. But the flying sword hit the scorpion monster's head like a black ancient dagger, just leaving a white mark, but not penetrating!
Could it be that the top-grade flying sword is not as sharp as the spike of this beast? How strange!
Duan Qing pulled out the spike and stabbed the scorpion monster's head a few more times, and it was relatively easy to stab in.
It's really a ghost!
