novelKilling the Scorpion Tribes Leader
| ← Ch.0530 | Ch.0532 → |
The scorpion king turned into his human form and looked at Winston with great pity."You're very strong, but it's a pity that you got hit by my poison. You won't be able to live."
Winston turned into his human form and stumbled a little before standing steadily, speaking in a coarse voice, "Location!"
"You're on the verge of death, yet you don't forget about your initial intention." The scorpion king was surprised, but he kept to his word."I'll send a scorpion to invite him here. But we'll have to see if you'll be able to hang on until then."
After saying that, the scorpion king instructed a member of his tribe to head for that tribe right before Winston.
Winston changed back into his beast form and slowly walked out of the stone castle. His steps were slow and heavy, emitting the disposition of one in power. Others weren't able to see how distorted the world in his eyes was looking now.
The damned scorpion poison was acting up again.
The scorpion tribe's poison was a neurotoxin. Winston had discovered the other time that when the poison acted up, all sorts of hallucinations would appear in his mind.
When he was poisoned the other time, what he yearned for the most was to be accepted by a female. The hallucinations he saw were also related to this. If he were to sink into the hallucination, he might not have been able to tide over it back then.
The scorpion king's poison was a lot more powerful than the three-striped scorpion beastman's poison. At the instant he was struck by the poison, he felt that his brain was suddenly paralyzed.
In that instant, he saw Bai Qingqing smiling at him.
No, this was a hallucination!
Winston shook his head fiercely, temporarily regaining clarity in his vision, and he ran out.
...
Three days later, a three-striped scorpion beastman rushed over to the Flame City, not knowing that the fate that was waiting for him was death.
Next to a dune on the outermost layer of the Flame City, the white tiger's eyes fluctuated between clarity and fuzziness, loneliness and excitement.
"To think that you haven't died yet?"
Hearing a beastman's voice, Winston immediately jumped up. Before he could see who the beastman was, he instinctively attacked.
"Ahh? Tiger king!" The countenance of the leader of the small scorpion group changed drastically, and he backed off anxiously, looking toward the scorpion king."Your Majesty?"
The scorpion king averted the tiger beastman's attacks that weren't targeted at any opponent, pushing the scorpion beastman toward him.
"Roar!"
The tiger mouth bared open, and the small scorpion group's leader could only turn in his beast form under the anxiety before his head was separated from his body. A cracking sound rang out as the massive body dropped onto the sandy ground.
After crushing the shell-encased head with his mouth, Winston regained his clarity and looked toward the scorpion king.
The scorpion king looked at him in horror."That's impossible. There hasn't been a beastman who had been able to tide past three days after being inflicted with my poison. You've been inflicted with scorpion poison before?"
Winston sniffed the scorpion beastman under his claw. After ascertaining that it was the scent of that group of scorpion beastmen, he turned into his human form and said, "That's right."
The scorpion king felt that things weren't good. It seemed that this tiger beastman had already developed a resistance toward their poison. If even his poison was unable to kill him, then it was even more impossible for the other scorpion beastmen's poison to do it.
Winston shook his head to regain some vigor before quickly running off.
...
"It has been so many days, but Winston isn't back yet."
Bai Qingqing looked out of the village worriedly.
The weather had started to turn warm, and light rain occasionally poured down, causing the land to be rapidly encased by greenery.
Bai Qingqing put on the light tube top and animal skin skirt, leaving her slightly curled dark brown hair draping down behind her head. It reached to her waist, and the 18-year-old young girl now had a hint of a womanly vibe.
"Howl! Howl!"
The leopard cubs were playing in the village. Third caught sight of their mother and quickly ran over, climbing up her body.
Bai Qingqing knew that he wanted to drink milk and rubbed his furry head, saying, "You didn't want it a few days back, there's now no more. There's nothing to eat now."
"Howl~" Third pleaded, unwilling to accept this. First and Second's craving was also aroused. They ran over to their mother to ask for food.
The leopard cubs were unhappy, but they had no idea that their mother felt even more unhappy.
