The Scarlet Flame Scorpion was wandering towards the boulder that Adrian was hiding behind. He held his breath and quickly positioned himself to strike.
As soon as the Scarlet Flame Scorpion passed by, Gareth acted swiftly, thrusting his sword into the beast's head. He had to time his strike perfectly, so he wouldn't have to go through its tough exoskeleton.
With the strength from his body cultivation, he was able to thrust his sword deeply, ending the beast's life in a single move. It was so fast, the beast didn't even know how it died.
As soon as the beast was dead, Adrian tossed its body into the Blood Star. It was only a Rank 2 beast, so it didn't pose any challenge for Adrian.
He continued exploring the tunnel, this time with newfound caution. After a few minutes of walking, the path split into two: left or right.
As Adrian was debating which path to pick, he heard multiple clacking sounds, similar to those of the Scarlet Flame Scorpion. This time it wasn't just one beast.
