Run, please! part 4

The first beast to appear in front of them was something they had never encountered before, it was an oversized scorpion with a hard stony caparace. Anne was startled by it because, despite being able to see it, she couldn't tell it apart from a rock even at a close distance.

It seemed like a bad start, considering they ran into it almost the second they reached ground level, but it proved to be no challenge for Anne's quick reflexes. She brandished her spear graciously, cutting the scorpion tail without even needing to use a skill.

It's shell was hard, but its joints were weak enough for any regular weapon to cut through like butter.
