Chapter 542: there is a second scorpion
He is from the holy empire.
He is at the rank of deacon in that country and is a very young and strong man.
His name is silver Joe.
Unfortunately he came to this place where Vikram is.
He would be buried here and his things would become good things of Vikram later.
The scorpion burned really well and it finally died without any movement.
Right then Joe appeared out of nowhere and attacked Vikram.
Vikram has already noticed him and even his girls have noticed him.
But Vikram gave them a sign language gesture to stay put for the time being.
Right when Joe made the sneak attack on Vikram, Vikram acted as if he did not notice and jumped out.
There is a small damage to Vikram but it did not damage him much.
Vikram ran towards cave that leads to the desert mode of survival.
The reason why Vikram suddenly changed his thoughts is because he saw that inside the cave is a golden treasure chest.
With golden treasure chest, this one level 20 poisonous scorpion is not enough to balance the things.
At least that creature should be over level 40 or there is more than one level 20 poisonous scorpion monster guarding this place.
So Vikram led the man towards the cave at his fastest speed.
While they are running the three girls used special means to let the smoke and burnt smell of the poisonous scorpion towards the cave.
This would attract the danger hidden inside.
Vikram and all the girls covered their noses with wet cloth before they started the entire thing.
This is because the burning smell is not the problem but the burning poison can release poisonous mist.
The slight amount of poisonous mist that Vikram inhales through the wet clothe would not cause him any problem because of his resistance towards the poison.
This poison resistance was obtained from the poisonous frog before.
Vikram has already told them and they understood the situation clearly.
As for Joe, he is almost as strong as Vikram in strength and stamina but his agility and other stats are lower.
This was observed by the insight skill of Vikram and he also noticed it in his simulation.
But the simulation did not mention anything about the second scorpion.
All it mentioned is that Vikram solve the guarding force of the entrance and entered into the desert mode of survival.
Also he found that he has solved the hindrance from some unknown source easily.
This hindrance can be a beast or players that are also present in this place.
He was sure that the smoke would attract someone and that someone appeared here.
After going into the cave Vikram did not stand there because this place has many pitfalls and quick sands in the sandy part of the cave.
The rocks in the cave can sink down with a gentle touch.
But the place that Vikram is running is the place that the scorpion walked before.
He specifically stepped on the poked areas of the land where the scorpion moved before.
This way he came close to the golden treasure chest but suddenly took a side turn and ran on the wall with his full speed.
Joe behind him did not expect and he has already noticed some of the pitfalls because he stepped on the wrong place.
But he was lucky enough to find balance and did not fall into the pitfalls.
Also he noticed the strange cries and crawling sounds of those insects in the pitfalls and all over the place.
The insects are naturally the scorpions.
Vikram that stepped on the wall jumped back with a big jump and landed straight behind the man chasing after him.
Also his steps landed straight on his steps that he walked in before.
With that he immediately ran out at his fastest speed.
But before running he threw the bloody he collected from various beasts in a basin straight at the man behind him.
Joe that was splashed with blood did not react immediately because he has inhaled the poisonous gas for at least for 10 breaths during his chase behind Vikram.
This was enough for him to unlock the first level of poisoning into his blood.
With this his reaction speed was reduced by a large margin.
At the same time there is a slight trembling sound from the cave inside the cave where the golden treasure chest is present.
Another big scorpion appeared from inside and came straight to the person splashed with the blood.
Also the cooked smell of another big scorpion has made this scorpion angry.
They should be a couple and all these small scorpions are their kids.
As Vikram expected this is the most dangerous thing.
Joe immediately froze up looking at the second scorpion.
Vikram that was about to run stopped for a moment and took out a plant fiber rope that was tied into ring and a knot at one end.
He threw it on the top of Joe and captured him in his shocked state.
Then Vikram did not look back and run forward while dragging Joe towards the previous burning area.
While Vikram was away the three girls already took the bolder that is pressing the body of the previous dead scorpion and dropped more spoilage and plant waste that can increase the flames more.
After doing that they ran back into the forest to hide among the trees.
Right at that moment Vikram ran back dragging Joe with the rope.
Unfortunately he fell into many other traps one after the other with many baby scorpions biting on his body and stinging his body.
He screamed loudly attracting most of the attention.
He cursed Vikram loudly but that is all he can do at his current situation.
As Vikram dragged him the big scorpion followed behind them closely all the way to the fire pit.
Right then Vikram stopped in front of the fire pit.
