A total of five Purple Shelled Scorpions leaped out of the dunes. Only one of them was a Beta-rank, and this slightly came as a relief to Aileen. Yet, she didn't dare rejoice.
Just like White Phantom Snakes, these scorpions carried dangerous toxic which has no cure. Not to mention, in the desert-like setting, the scorpions were at a natural advantage.
Aileen glanced at her young miss - Sophia - who has knocked out the leader of a low-level mercenary group. The other mercenaries were terrified and had expressions of pure horror, but Aileen didn't care about them.
All she wanted to do was protect her miss. But the hot desert environment made her feel it would be a tough job.
They didn't have any vehicles so it would be rather hard to avoid the scorpions once the chase starts.
