I can equip strange items

Chapter 68 The Terrifying Giant Scorpion

Without hesitation, he quickly took out the broken Heart of Life and equipped the Thunder Scepter to the seventh equipment slot.

The moment the entry 【Yin Yang Double Thunder】 took effect, a strange feeling welled up in my heart.

It was an instinctive control over lightning, as if one's will could directly manipulate the currents in the world.

He could even clearly perceive the free charged particles in the surrounding air, which flickered and jumped in his perception like tiny, invisible specks of light.

With a mere thought, he could gather these charges into lightning and unleash it from his palm.

In addition, he felt that he could also directly transform his vital energy into yin and yang lightning to attack enemies.

Just then, the powerful aura rushing down from the mountain drew near.

"Boom—"

'

The ground shook, and gravel flew everywhere.

Li Yuan suddenly looked up, his pupils immediately contracting.

Because what rushed down the mountain was an enormous scorpion!

The scorpion was entirely black, its carapace gleaming with a metallic sheen, and it was as big as a small truck.

Its six legs are thick and powerful, and each step leaves a deep crater in the ground.

The curved venomous barb at its tail is raised high, as black as ink, with a tip that gleams with a cold, eerie light, clearly indicating that it contains deadly poison.

Its two enormous claws, each larger than an adult human body, can easily clamp a small car in half when opened.

What alarmed Li Yuan the most was that this scorpion's aura was extremely powerful, and its strength was by no means weaker than the mutated corpse puppet leader he had encountered last night!

The problem is, he is currently only at level four of the Ominous Signs.

Such a huge scorpion, yet it's not a demon, this is troublesome—”

Although Li Yuan was startled, he reacted quickly.

Almost instinctively, he raised his right hand, activated the newly acquired [Yin Yang Twin Thunder] attribute, and unleashed a powerful palm strike.

"Boom!"

A bolt of golden lightning, as thick as a thumb, burst forth from his palm, transforming into a dazzling streak of electricity that flashed by and struck precisely at the giant scorpion's carapace.

Thunder roared and lightning flashed.

The giant scorpion's massive body suddenly stopped, frozen in place by the bolt of yang lightning.

But after being frozen for less than a tenth of a second, the giant scorpion regained its mobility, let out a sharp hiss, and charged at him again.

With all six legs exerting force simultaneously, the speed was even faster than before!

Yang Lei won't work?

Li Yuan's heart sank, and he unleashed another palm strike.

"Boom!"

This time it was a silvery-white lightning bolt, also as thick as a thumb, that instantly struck the giant scorpion's head.

Silvery-white arcs of electricity coiled and leaped around the scorpion's head, crackling and popping.

To Li Yuan's surprise, the giant scorpion's carapace was incredibly strong; the silver lightning only left a faint white mark on its surface.

The scorpion only froze for less than a tenth of a second before lunging at him again with undiminished speed.

Could it be that living in the Cloud Mist Mountain and being struck by lightning so often has made them immune to it? If that's the case, then we're in trouble!

Li Yuan's expression changed slightly. Without thinking too much, he quickly gripped the hilt of the bamboo knife at his waist with his right hand.

Since buying the bamboo knife, he has rarely used it, mainly because he is worried that the bamboo blades inside cannot withstand his strength.

But now that he has enhanced this bamboo sword to an astonishing degree using the [Equivalent Evolution] modifier, it shouldn't be so easily damaged.

"Clang!"

When the giant scorpion was about ten meters away from him, he suddenly drew his sword and slashed out.

"clang!"

The blade struck the giant scorpion's massive pincers, producing a crisp, metallic clang.

Sparks flew everywhere.

A tremendous force emanated from the blade, sending Li Yuan flying backward for seven or eight meters before he landed, staggering several steps before regaining his footing.

To Li Yuan's surprise, the giant scorpion's carapace was incredibly sturdy. When he slashed it with all his might, he only left a shallow white mark!

It can't break through the defense at all!

This invincible bamboo sword, which can take down demons with a single blow, is much less effective against monsters that rely solely on physical strength.

Because this monster is not an evil spirit at all, its ability to ward off evil is just for show.

"Hiss!"

The giant scorpion let out a sharp hiss, its body suddenly twisting, its tail sweeping across like a steel whip.

Li Yuan quickly parried with his sword.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, he was sent flying again, crashing heavily into a large tree nearby.

The thick tree trunk was violently shaken by the impact, and branches and leaves fell down in a flurry.

"cough----"

Li Yuan groaned, feeling a heavy pressure in his chest.

This monster's strength was far greater than expected.

"hiss"

The giant scorpion lunged again, its two enormous pincers snapping shut, trying to clamp him in two.

Li Yuan quickly rolled away to dodge, and at the same time activated Yin Lightning, unleashing another bolt of silver-white Yin Lightning.

"Boom!"

The silvery lightning struck the giant scorpion's compound eyes with pinpoint accuracy.

Although it still didn't cause any real damage, the paralyzing effect of the lightning strike made its movements pause again.

This pause of less than a tenth of a second gave Li Yuan a chance to catch his breath.

He quickly created distance, his mind racing at an astonishing speed.

With my current strength, it's almost impossible to defeat this giant scorpion head-on.

Its shell was too sturdy; my bamboo knife couldn't cut through it at all, and the power of the Yin-Yang Twin Thunders was far from enough.

The power of an entry is clearly linked to one's own strength.

This should be the first time I've encountered an enemy of this caliber since I rose to power!

Li Yuan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

I shouldn't be without a chance of winning.

He noticed that although the large scorpion moved very quickly, it would pause noticeably when turning.

Moreover, its enormous size can actually limit its ability to thrive in mountainous and forested environments.

I can use the terrain and speed to deal with it.

With that in mind, Li Yuan began to move rapidly around the giant scorpion, trying to push his speed to the limit.

"hiss!"

The giant scorpion roared and chased after it, its six legs moving swiftly across the ground at an astonishing speed.

However, its large size meant that it had to constantly maneuver around trees and rocks as it moved through the dense forest, which gave Li Yuan an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Boom!"

Another bolt of silvery lightning struck, hitting the giant scorpion's hind leg joint precisely.

Although the power was still insufficient to break through the carapace, the brief paralysis effect was enough to create a slight opening in the giant scorpion's movements.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Yuan slashed out with his bamboo knife once more.

"clang!"

This time, he aimed for the scorpion's eyeballs.

Although the blade still couldn't completely break through the defense, the enormous impact caused the giant scorpion to let out a painful hiss and its body to stagger backward.

efficient!"

Li Yuan was overjoyed. Although he still couldn't really hurt it, at least he had made it feel pain.

"hiss-

'

Enraged by his blow, the giant scorpion let out an even sharper hiss and lunged at him with its stinger.

Li Yuan quickly dodged, the sharp tail barb grazing his side, leaving a bloody mark.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been pierced through.

"That was close!"

Cold sweat broke out on Li Yuan's forehead. This was the first time he had encountered an enemy far stronger than himself since his rise to power, which made him very uncomfortable and forced him to change his fighting style.

He quickly quickened his pace, using the terrain to his advantage while constantly urging on Yin and Yang lightning to harass the enemy.

Yang Lei is extremely yang and strong, and can cause temporary physical paralysis to large scorpions.

The silvery-white, dark, and chilling light can weaken its perception, causing it to misjudge its surroundings.

Alternating between the two types of lightning, although neither can truly harm the giant scorpion, if used properly, it is entirely possible to keep the monster at bay.

Unfortunately, this is extremely energy-consuming and cannot be sustained for long.

"This can't go on forever—"

While maneuvering around the situation, Li Yuan quickly considered countermeasures.

This giant scorpion's defense is simply outrageous; my current attacks are like tickling it.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Just as Li Yuan was preparing to continue to rely on his environmental advantages to deal with the giant scorpion, he suddenly felt a warm current surging out from inside his body without warning.

It felt as if a warm current was flowing through my limbs and bones, washing over every muscle, every bone, and every cell.
