Chapter 352: Chapter 351 Crystal…Giant Scorpion Chapter 352: Chapter 351 Crystal…Giant Scorpion Demonized creatures, absolutely demonized creatures!
Seeing the transformation of the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion, Richard was certain that the opponent was definitely a demonized creature without a doubt, just like the rmaids encountered during the voyage of the giant wheel.
This was going to be troubleso.
Richard thought as the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion launched an attack, its two upright tails flicking, and two streams of black Strong Acid Liquid shot out.
Richard dodged, and the acid liquid hit the ground, hissing as it bubbled up profusely, the ground softening and rapidly sinking in. One could easily imagine what would happen if this acid liquid were to douse a human body—it could corrode bones away!
This!
Richard frowned deeply, rapidly thinking of a way to respond.
Should he resort to the strategy of Greasy Swamp combined with Chain Explosion again?
But now there was no such special ground environnt as the checkpoints, and with fewer Two-tailed Golden Scorpions that were also fast, there was no chance of them crowding each other. Even if he forced the issue, the Two-tailed Golden Scorpions could easily avoid it.
At this mont, the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion closed in, continuously releasing acid attacks. Richard kept dodging, releasing Chain Explosions reluctantly to relieve his own pressure.
“Boom boom boom boom boom…”
Sparks flew and explosions resounded nonstop, the entire Second Hall slightly shook, with dirt rustling down. However, the Two-tailed Golden Scorpions were not severely damaged—after Richard’s prolonged attack, not a single one had been killed.
One of the Two-tailed Golden Scorpions crawled up to Richard, raised its tail, and aid right for Richard’s body to stab down. Naturally, Richard wouldn’t let it succeed, he sidestepped swiftly, evading the attack. The Two-tailed Golden Scorpion’s tails missed and plunged deeply into the ground with a “pfft” sound, flipping its body over, abdon facing up.
Seeing this, Richard’s eyes flashed, he didn’t hesitate to seize the opportunity. He pulled out the Great Sword from the Space Iron Ring and rcilessly chopped down at the belly of the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion.
The next mont, a clang of tal song rang out, a burst of sparks flew, the Great Sword was bounced high, and the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion twisted its body back to normal, almost entirely unscathed.
Richard felt the sowhat numb tiger’s mouth in his hands and looked at the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion, gaining a new understanding of its defensive power—that sort of hardness, he feared, really couldn’t be broken by ordinary attacks.
In that case…
Richard’s eyes sharpened, he stretched out his hand and activated the Fourth Circle toward the dozen or so Two-tailed Golden Scorpions. The Magic Rune on the Fourth Circle, inscribed with “Winter is Coming,” glowed faintly, and the Spell was released.
“Woo woo…”
A ghostly phoenix whirled through the Second Hall, the temperature dropped rapidly, reaching below zero in a blink of an eye.
“Shasha…”
Snowflakes drifted down, crystals ford from the moisture in the air.
“Shasha…”
The snowflakes continued to fall, getting thicker, and no longer just water crystals, but solid carbon dioxide, also known as dry ice. At this point, the temperature had dropped to minus eighty degrees Celsius, exceeding the average temperature of modern Earth’s South Pole, where water turns to ice upon contact with the air.
The ground was covered with white frost, the Two-tailed Golden Scorpions sensed danger, and once again shot out acid in an attempt to eliminate the dangerous source—Richard.
But as soon as the acid left the scorpion’s tail, it solidified in midair, turning into a clump of black ice, and with a “crack” sound, it hit the head of the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion, stunning it.
As the temperature continued to drop lower and lower, the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion, having just recovered, had its lower limbs frozen to the ground, then most of its body, followed by the entire body.
In the end, a dozen or so Two-tailed Golden Scorpions all turned into ice sculptures.
But the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion had not died, even though its body temperature had dropped to an exaggerated level in the “Winter is Coming” low-temperature field, and even though it was bound in ice, it was still trying to struggle.
There was a “crack, crack” sound, and cracks appeared on the surface of the ice.
Richard looked and raised his eyebrows, muttering to himself, “You want to co out? Fine, I’ll help you!”
He extended his finger; this ti Richard didn’t activate a magic rune, but recited a spell—a lengthy spell.
After a while, he sealed his lips, the chanting of the spell ended, and a speck of dark red fla shot out.
The fla struck the ice that had frozen the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion, exploding with a bang, and a large ball of flas was born. In the flas, another new fla appeared, followed by another explosion, creating a second large ball of flas.
The second ball of flas, the third spark appeared, the triple ring explosion…
The third ball of flas, the fourth spark, the quadruple chain explosion.
The fourth ball of flas, the fifth spark, the fifth chain explosion.
…
The continuous explosions went on for a long ti before stopping, shattering all the ice in the “Winter is Coming” low-temperature field, and with it the Two-tailed Golden Scorpions wrapped within, trying to break free—they would never have the chance again.
Extrely low temperatures can cause the forces between molecules in a body to diminish, reducing tensile strength, increasing brittleness, and shrinking volu. Under these conditions, if the temperature suddenly rises, the volu of the object expands, deforms excessively, and then shatters.
Richard looked at the bodies of the Two-tailed Golden Scorpions scattered on the ground, said nothing, withdrew his gaze, and passed through Hall Two into the third corridor.
…
Following the third corridor to the end, Hall Three indeed appeared.
The mont Richard stepped in, he was attacked by not one… but three whips.
Richard took a closer look, and they weren’t whips at all, but three scorpion tails.
In Hall Three lay a giant scorpion, nearly one ter in size, its shell not brown or golden, but colorful, with a crystal-like appearance.
Three-tailed Crystal Scorpion? Was this an evolved body of the previous Two-tailed Golden Scorpion? Was it the leader?
Richard, guessing, swiftly dodged the attacks of the three scorpion tails, ready to unleash the “Winter is Coming” low-temperature field to freeze the scorpion, then use the chain explosions to shatter its body.
But the Three-tailed Crystal Scorpion did not give him the chance, charging at him at the speed of a locomotive, its three tails like three long spears, relentlessly stabbing.
Richard was wary the scorpion tails might emit strongly corrosive strong acid liquid and kept dodging, but after a long while, he noticed the creature was rely executing physical attacks, without any action of spraying acid liquid.
“Could it be…” Richard’s eyes flashed, speculating, “Could it be that this Three-tailed Crystal Giant Scorpion is not the evolved leader of the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion but a special individual ford through mutation? During the mutation process, it gained a larger body, more scorpion tails, but lost the ability to spray acid liquid?”
As Richard thought this, the Three-tailed Crystal Giant Scorpion attacked again. Richard flipped his hand, drew the Great Sword, and fiercely slashed towards the scorpion tail, hitting it with a “bang”.
Richard saw a very obvious white mark on the scorpion tail.
Richard’s speculation was confird in his mind, “Indeed, it’s a mutation, not an evolution. The strength of its body has decreased a lot compared to the Two-tailed Golden Scorpion; it’s still very hard, but at least it’s possible to breach its defense.”
Thinking this, Richard’s gaze intensified, he perford an upward strike, knocking away the incoming scorpion tail with a “bang” and cleaving into the scorpion’s back, plowing a long, narrow sword wound.
“Umm—gurg—”
The Three-tailed Crystal Giant Scorpion made a moaning sound from within, seeming to recognize the threat, increasing the speed of its attacks. Richard, holding his Iron Sword, continually fought against the three tails, and for a mont, he almost seed overwheld.
