Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

Yellow sand surged

A large number of two-tailed human-faced scorpions emerged from the sea of ​​sand. Xiang Bei only did a quick calculation and found that there were already several hundred two-tailed human-faced scorpions that had emerged.

However, these two-tailed human-faced scorpions varied in size.

The larger one was about the size of a small truck, and compared to the two double-tailed human-faced scorpions at the beginning, it was roughly at the level of a high-ranking beast general.

Even the smaller ones are the size of a small car and possess the strength of a low-level beast general.

"Damn it! I've fallen into a scorpion's nest!" Xiang Bei cursed under his breath.

If he's not mistaken, those two lord-level twin-tailed human-faced scorpions are probably a male and a female, and these twin-tailed human-faced scorpions of various sizes are likely their offspring.

Well, it seems he really has fallen into a scorpion's nest.

However, these scorpions are quite troublesome. In fact, these two lord-level scorpions are not unintelligent. They know that one of them should come out to attract fire while the other should hide under the sand and launch a surprise attack.

If Xiang Bei hadn't acted decisively at the crucial moment, quickly dodging despite the awkwardness, he would have already been outmaneuvered by those two scorpions.

Even if he hadn't been outmaneuvered by the two scorpions, Xiang Bei still had to go all out against two lord-level monsters and a hundred beast general-level double-tailed human-faced scorpions of varying sizes, and was even prepared to fight to the death at any moment.

"Click-clack-click-clack!"

As the largest two-tailed human-faced scorpion let out a harsh and piercing cry, the two lord-level two-tailed human-faced scorpions launched an attack on Xiang Bei simultaneously. At the same time, some of the scorpions of various sizes that emerged from the sand also charged towards Xiang Bei, while others burrowed into the sand, seemingly still planning to ambush Xiang Bei from beneath the sand.

However, having learned his lesson once, Xiang Bei was determined not to suffer a second time.

Seeing that fighting on the yellow sand was disadvantageous and that he might be ambushed by these two-tailed human-faced scorpions, Xiang Bei simply decided not to stand on the sand and fight the scorpions.

Seeing the two lord-level twin-tailed human-faced scorpions charging towards him, Xiang Bei retreated instead of advancing. He quickly approached the twin-tailed scorpion behind him that was trying to ambush him, and with a flick of his halberd, he severed the two pincers of the twin-tailed scorpion, which was only at the level of a mid-level beast general.

Then Xiang Bei struck the two-tailed scorpion directly from the front with his halberd, quickly ending its life.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Bei jumped onto the back of the two-tailed scorpion.

In an instant, Xiang Bei regained that feeling of being grounded, and temporarily said goodbye to the softness of the gravel.

"Bang!"

With a powerful stomp, Xiang Bei crushed the two-tailed scorpion beneath him into the gravel, causing it to creak and crack.

The halberd, like a fiery cloud, collided directly with the giant pincers of the mid-level lord-level twin-tailed scorpion.

The air blasts shot out from the point of impact in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the mid-level lord-level double-tailed human-faced scorpion was actually forced back by Xiang Bei's halberd strike. The huge scorpion claw was slashed with a deep white mark, and upon closer inspection, the giant claw had actually been cracked by Xiang Bei.

"boom!"

Immediately afterward, Xiang Bei exerted his strength again. The carapace of the two-tailed scorpion under Xiang Bei's feet was shattered by his stomp, and Xiang Bei himself was lifted into the air. His battle halberd, weighing more than 200 kilograms, collided with the giant claws of the two-tailed human-faced scorpion once again.

This time, the two-tailed human-faced scorpion couldn't withstand Xiang Bei's immense strength, and its giant claws, along with half of its body, were knocked backward by Xiang Bei's violent blow.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiang Bei took a risky step and stepped onto the giant claw of the two-tailed human-faced scorpion. Before the scorpion could react, he used the momentum to leap again, heading straight for the scorpion's back.

"Ding ding"

The two-tailed human-faced scorpion attempted to use its two stingers to attack Xiang Bei, knocking him to the ground.

Unfortunately, the two tail spikes could not break through Xiang Bei's halberd at all, despite Xiang Bei's perfect halberd technique.

With his feet firmly planted on the ground, Xiang Bei quickly exerted his strength. With three times the force, he didn't care at all how the two-tailed human-faced scorpion under his feet was being trampled.

The immense force caused the legs of the two-tailed human-faced scorpion to sink deep into the yellow sand, making the entire scorpion appear to be lying on the ground.

The two-tailed human-faced scorpion was also startled by the enormous force and struggled, twisting its massive body.

However, Xiang Bei was determined not to give the Twin-Tailed Human-Faced Scorpion this opportunity. As he exerted force with his feet, he swung his halberd, knocking away the two tail stings that were still trying to harass him, and then quickly swept it horizontally.

Then, with a "crack" sound, the relatively fragile tail of the double-tailed human-faced scorpion was directly swept off by the crescent blade of the battle halberd, leaving only a short section.

Juice spray!

The perfectly good two-tailed human-faced scorpion has turned into a tailless human-faced scorpion!

At that moment, the other two-tailed human-faced scorpion, which was a step slower, had just arrived, and its two giant pincers snapped at Xiang Bei at the same time.

Xiang Bei, of course, wouldn't tolerate the other party's behavior. The tailless human-faced scorpion under his feet had now lost its ability to attack.

Although he kept shaking his body in an attempt to shake Xiang Bei off, it had little effect on Xiang Bei.

With a powerful stomp of both feet, he stomped the tailless, human-faced scorpion heavily onto the ground.

The feeling of being grounded put Xiang Bei in good condition, and with a swing of his halberd, he directly knocked away the giant pincers of the double-tailed human-faced scorpion.

Then the halberd thrust straight at the face of the two-tailed human-faced scorpion!

However, Xiang Bei's attack ultimately failed. This slightly smaller, two-tailed human-faced scorpion was quite intelligent, as it knew the tactic of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao".

As Xiang Bei thrust at his opponent, the two tail spikes also rushed straight towards Xiang Bei's face, forcing Xiang Bei to switch from offense to defense.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

In the blink of an eye, Xiang Bei and the Twin-Tailed Human-Faced Scorpion exchanged more than a dozen blows!

The Twin-Tailed Human-Faced Scorpion's strength was clearly no match for Xiang Bei's fierce attack, and it was forced to retreat repeatedly by Xiang Bei.

The tailless, human-faced scorpion beneath their feet fared even worse.

Despite possessing the strength of a mid-level lord, he was unable to exert any influence and was instead used as a stepping stone by Xiang Bei.

He struggled several times to get up, but Xiang Bei ruthlessly stomped him into the ground.

"when!"

With another crisp sound, this time the two-tailed human-faced scorpion could no longer withstand Xiang Bei's attack, and one of its giant claws was mercilessly smashed open.

Immediately after, Xiang Bei delivered a heavy stomp, then rose and thrust straight forward!

"Pfft!"

Dark green blood splattered everywhere as the halberd pierced directly into the head of the two-tailed human-faced scorpion.

With a flick of Xiang Bei's wrists, the vibration of his halberd shattered the head of the two-tailed human-faced scorpion.

The two tail spikes that were about to attack Xiang Bei fell limply!

"Kaka! Kaka!"

The tailless, human-faced scorpion beneath their feet emitted a mournful cry, seemingly angry at the death of its mate.

Unfortunately, Xiang Bei, being human, was unable to empathize with him!

With a single downward strike, he smashed the head off the tailless, human-faced scorpion that seemed to be going berserk!
