Chapter 81: Fierce Battle, Giant Scorpion vs Howling Moon
The little wolf and Helianno had never been apart since childhood, and at this moment, upon hearing his partner's shout, he instantly understood what Helianno meant. The giant scorpion, although already intimidated by the little wolf's aura and not daring to move, was reignited with anger by the actions of the big man from Ghost Refining Hell. At this moment, having smelled the bloody scent, the giant scorpion's eyes had turned crimson red, its bloodthirsty instincts subtly overpowering its fear of the superior soul beast. If they didn't take advantage of it not having fully recovered its true nature to subdue it, the little wolf would likely encounter no small trouble.
The giant scorpion was shaking its head and trying to get rid of the little wolf's pressure, but with its beastly nature stimulated by blood, it didn't care about anything else at this moment. It only wanted to taste the fresh blood. Just as it was about to recover, a silver figure suddenly appeared from behind and pounced on it. The giant scorpion hadn't reacted yet when a severe pain quickly spread from the base of its tail!
The giant scorpion let out a painful roar, frantically swinging its tail in an attempt to shake off the small wolf. However, the small wolf seemed to have anticipated this move, and its lower jaw was positioned right at the base of the scorpion's tail. As a result, no matter how violently the scorpion swung its tail, the force exerted on the small wolf was minimal. Moreover, the base of the tail was the only blind spot on the scorpion's body where it couldn't attack. The small wolf, firmly fixed in this position, wouldn't be shaken off, and the scorpion's venomous stinger at the tip of its tail and its two front claws couldn't harm it either. As long as the small wolf could hold on without releasing its grip, it was essentially invincible.
"Awesome!", Lei Shuo heavily pounded the iron railing, and his face, which had been worried and gloomy just a moment before, finally changed. The same was true for Sang Xiao and the others from Blood Refining Hell, who couldn't help but feel ecstatic. On one hand, they were happy that their side's partner had gained the upper hand; more importantly, they all knew that if Little Wolf could miraculously kill this fifth-stage soul beast, then they wouldn't have to take the stage as substitutes and fight the beast themselves. After all, the scene of the giant scorpion tearing people apart was still fresh in everyone's minds, and no one wanted to go up against an opponent that couldn't be defeated!
Standing by the railing, Lan Youzhu turned her head to look at He Lianuo, but found that the latter had a calm expression, as if she had expected all this. Out of curiosity, she asked softly: "Looking at you standing here calmly all the time, didn't you ever worry about the safety of that little wolf?"
Kerlonuo slightly froze, seemingly not expecting the other party to take the initiative to talk to him. He unnaturally raised his hand and stroked his nose, trying to appear calm as he replied: "Worried? To be honest, I'm probably more worried than anyone else here. The reason I'm not surprised by the current battle situation is that I already knew that Little Wolf couldn't be defeated by a single fifth-tier soul beast. It will return unharmed because it knows I'm waiting for it here!" As soon as he finished speaking, Kerlonuo turned his head to look at the scene before him, with deep and sincere warmth in his eyes.
Lan Youzhu gave Helian Nuo a profound look, and then shifted her attention to the arena. For some reason, there was something unusual about this child who had not yet come of age that piqued her curiosity. But what exactly was it? Was it his calm demeanor in the face of danger, or his light and airy way of speaking? Or perhaps it was simply because he kept creating miracles on the battlefield? Lan Youzhu couldn't find the answer herself.
Helianthus didn't know that at this moment, Helianthus's mood was actually not calm at all. For him who had never been an adult in his past life or present life, a woman like Lan Youzhu who was sexy and open-minded was undoubtedly fatally attractive. This attraction, of course, had nothing to do with love, but only the curiosity of a confused teenager towards the opposite sex. If Lan Youzhu was a bit more careful, she would have discovered that Helianthus, who pretended to be calm while looking at the arena, actually had his ears flushed red!
The situation on the field changed again in this short moment, and the giant scorpion's tail was already enraged. Seeing that frantically swinging its tail had no effect, it simply went crazy and started rolling around on the ground. The strength of a fifth-order giant scorpion is terrifying, and after this round of commotion, more than half of the hard stone slabs used to cover the arena were crushed. Although the little wolf did not suffer too much damage in this round of rolling, it was also frightened and disheveled.
It seemed that the endless provocation by the giant scorpion had ignited a fire, and the little wolf bit down hard on the scorpion's tail root, letting out a furious roar from between its teeth. In an instant, it concentrated all its strength into its mouth, and as the scorpion flipped onto its back, the little wolf desperately stood firm, its four legs pulling backward with great force. Accompanied by another pained cry from the scorpion, the little wolf had actually torn off the entire tail of the giant scorpion!
The atmosphere of the audience in the stands was once again pushed to its peak by this violent scene. Ling Xiao, looking at his own side, suddenly took the upper hand again and temporarily forgot his original intention of dealing with Sang Xiao and others. He stood up, waving a paper fan, and shouted excitedly towards Xiaolong. As for Qian Huan Gongzi, he was completely stunned. He understood that it would be difficult to turn the tide in this beast-fighting hell. Not to mention that the substitute player who came on stage didn't dare to approach the battlefield, only trembling with fear in the corner. Just looking at the giant scorpion's painful expression could lead to the conclusion that this beast fight was likely to end soon.
The little wolf that desperately pulled off the giant scorpion's tail did not take advantage of its victory to pursue, in fact, just fixing its body on the giant scorpion had almost exhausted all its strength, and this last pull had used up the last bit of potential energy inside its body. Adding to the injury it suffered from blocking Helianuo's punch earlier that had yet to heal, now it was almost unable to move at all!
The giant scorpion, having lost its tail, was furiously rolling around the arena. The large man from Ghost Refining Hell saw that the scorpion was about to roll in front of him and panicked, wanting to escape but it was too late. The scorpion's massive body weighing over a thousand kilograms crushed him, instantly turning him into a meat patty. As the scorpion approached Xiao Lang's position, everyone from Blood Refining Hell held their breaths, except for Luo Tian who seemed completely unbothered. He glanced at He Lian Nuo, who also had no expression, and said reassuringly: "Don't worry, this giant scorpion is already on its last legs. I once read a book about soul beasts that mentioned the Thorny Giant Scorpion. It's incredibly powerful, with sharp claws and tail, and impressive defense. However, its weakness lies at the base of its tail, which is like our arteries - if it's damaged, it will bleed non-stop. Although the scorpion looks fierce now, I think it won't last much longer!"
Everyone heard the words and looked inside, indeed, the speed of the giant scorpion's rolling had greatly decreased, and the ground of the huge arena was already covered with its bloodstains. When it was about to roll over to the little wolf's side, the giant scorpion finally exhausted its strength, it desperately tried to lift its head but ultimately failed. Suddenly, a loud crash was heard, the giant scorpion's massive head heavily smashed onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust!
"It's finally over!", He Lianuo slowly relaxed his fists, which had been clenched in his sleeves, and only then did he discover that his palms were already covered in cold sweat. Although he said he wasn't worried about Xiao Lang, only he himself knew that Xiao Lang was like a younger brother to him, so how could he possibly remain as calm as he appeared when his own younger brother was fighting on the field?!
The little wolf turned its body, glanced at the giant scorpion lying on the ground, and then struggled to get up, swaying and staggering towards the direction of Blood Refining Hell. Although its pace was extremely slow, it never stopped. When passing by the giant scorpion's corpse, the little wolf subconsciously turned its head to take a look! This glance was not good, the little wolf keenly noticed that the giant scorpion's eyes, which had been tightly closed, were now slowly opening!
"No good!", Little Wolf's heart suddenly skipped a beat, just as he was about to turn around and escape, but his feet felt soft beneath him, not only did he fail to run away, but instead, with a thud, he fell flat on the ground!
"Not good!!" This time, however, it was Lanyoutu from the Blood Refining Hell who shouted out. In fact, there was no need for her to remind them, as everyone including Helianuo had already seen that the giant scorpion that should have died long ago suddenly opened its eyes when Xiao Lang passed by it, and almost at the same time, its two huge front paws snapped towards Xiao Lang's neck like lightning!
The little wolf was already exhausted, and although it had the heart to dodge, it was already powerless. The giant scorpion's pincers did not encounter any obstruction, firmly clamping down on the little wolf's neck. The little wolf let out a sharp, mournful howl, and a large amount of silver blood gushed out from its neck!
The little wolf subconsciously raised its two front paws to desperately try to resist the giant scorpion's claws from going deeper, but compared to the giant scorpion, the little wolf's strength was not superior. The giant scorpion's pincer-like front paws slowed down the speed of penetration, but ultimately did not stop, and if this continued, the little wolf's neck would eventually be snapped!
Watching the little wolf's round head gradually turn crimson, Hurenno knew that it wouldn't be long before the little wolf would suffocate to death even if its neck wasn't snapped. He could no longer maintain his previous calm demeanor. In his heart, he cursed himself for agreeing to let the little wolf participate in the beast fight. With both hands, he fiercely pounded on the iron door. He wanted out, he wanted to save the little wolf. No matter what, Hurenno couldn't bear to watch his brother die before his eyes!
The iron gate made of refined steel was naturally impossible for Helianthus' physical body to break through, yet with eyes blazing red and hands already covered in fresh blood, he remained unaware and continued to frantically try to force the door open to save the little wolf on the brink of death.
The little wolf's entire head was already crimson from suffocation, its four limbs subconsciously scratching at the giant scorpion's body, but the spirit in its eyes had become increasingly scattered. Just as it seemed that the little wolf would be strangled to death, the giant scorpion suddenly shook violently and crashed heavily to the ground!
