Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 798 - 313 Dual-tail Scorpion_1

Chapter 798: Chapter 313 Dual-tail Scorpion_1

“Monster!”

As soon as everyone saw Wang Tao suddenly leave the meteorite, they all realized what was happening. The Awakeners swiftly advanced, while the others immediately retreated!

Based on past experiences, the monsters that emerged from fourth-order meteorites were also of the fourth order; level 3 ability users might be a drag here.

A black object flew out from Meteorite No. 8, rapidly growing in size upon landing.

In the blink of an eye, a monster the size of a truck appeared in everyone’s field of view.

It was a scorpion-like creature, but it had two tails, each ending in a venomous stinger.

...

[HP: 150,000/150,000]

[Mana: 150,000/150,000]

[Grade: Level 4 – Lord]

[Awakening: Poison Needle Explosion]

[Explosive Poison Needle: Fires poison needles, causing massive damage]

Hiss—

After the Dual-tail Scorpion emerged, it immediately raised its head and let out a hiss that caused physical discomfort.

Apart from Wang Tao and the other fourth-order ability users, the rest of the ability users felt uncomfortably compelled to cover their ears. The surrounding soldiers even fell to the ground clutching their heads, looking to be in great pain.

Wang Tao was all too familiar with this kind of attack. He immediately shouted:

“This Dual-tail Scorpion can launch mental attacks.”

If it were a physical attack, one might block it with equipment, but there was no way to block a mental attack. Currently, the only equipment that could add mental defense seemed to be Wang Tao’s. Those below level 3, especially the soldiers, obviously couldn’t withstand it.

However, the spiritual power of ability users was inherently strong, and fourth-order ability users even more so. Even without equipment that increased mental defense, just relying on their own spiritual power, they could withstand some of it.

Apart from Wang Tao, the other three fourth-order ability users felt somewhat uncomfortable, but it was nothing serious.

“Nobody attack!”

Shang Heng, clutching his head, quickly ordered the soldiers of his legion.

Guns and cannons are indiscriminate; with the soldiers affected by the mental attack, firing at this moment could potentially lead to friendly fire.

Enduring the headache, Shang Heng looked at the fourth-order ability users present.

“What do you say?”

He meant whether to let the ability users take over or to provide cover fire.

The site where the meteorite was activated was within a semi-encirclement by the military, and they, the powerful individuals, were also in the middle.

Now there were two choices: either the ability users would withdraw to allow the military to provide cover fire, or the military would temporarily hold fire, leaving the ability users to deal with the fourth-order Dual-tail Scorpion.

“You guys fall back, let us handle this!”

Zhou Long immediately spoke up.

This was just the first fourth-order monster, and there might be more to come. They were, after all, fourth-order ability users; how could they just watch the first fight? Plus, it was a good opportunity to check out the strength of the others!

Usually, these Awakeners each led their own teams out to battle. Unless on some major event, they seldom teamed up with other Awakeners. Although they knew each other, they had not cooperated much, and were not clear about the specific strengths of other Awakeners, knowing only a general idea. Now was a good chance to get to know each other better.

Seeing the other Awakeners had no objections, Shang Heng immediately directed the army to retreat.

The mental attack of the Dual-tail Scorpion had a range, and the soldiers soon stopped being affected after the army retreated a certain distance.

On the other side, Huang Wu, wearing full-body armor and wielding a large saber, was the first to charge forward.

Bang!

His blade, shimmering with a faint green glow, slammed viciously into the Dual-tail Scorpion’s head.

Bang!

But the Scorpion’s massive pincers blocked Huang Wu’s strike, even knocking him flying!

This monster wasn’t a zombie; it didn’t necessarily have to be hit in the head; hitting other areas would also deduct HP. However, the Dual-tail Scorpion’s huge pincers were evidently quite hard, being its weapons, so they wouldn’t lose HP, but a faint green poisonous gas covered the scorpion’s pincers.

Wang Tao clearly saw a poisoning indicator appear below the Dual-tail Scorpion’s HP bar.

[-1033]

[-1127]

[-1283]

Poisoning lasted for three seconds, deducting about a thousand HP each second. Apparently, this was Huang Wu’s Awakening [Bone-piercing Poison].

[Bone-piercing Poison: All basic attributes are comprehensively enhanced, and attacks carry poison]

This was a passive Awakening, causing his attacks to carry poison. The burst of this Awakening might not be high, but it was long-lasting.

It was unclear how its damage was calculated…

Huang Wu, knocked away, crashed heavily onto the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. He quickly got up, apparently unhurt; his armor did have a certain defensive power.

Whoosh—

While Huang Wu was being knocked away, Qi De, wielding an Iron Bone Knife, rushed forward. The Iron Bone Knife was naturally borrowed temporarily from Gu Yun, after all, a swordsman without a sword would definitely be greatly diminished in combat effectiveness.

Wang Tao believed Qi De definitely had a backup weapon. He was an Awakener after all; in case his main weapon was damaged, it was impossible for him not to have prepared a backup.

But it was probably because he wanted an excuse to use the Iron Bone Knife, so he didn’t bring out his backup weapon.

Gu Yun probably knew as well, but since it was just someone wanting to use a weapon and they were all working to defeat the monster, he didn’t say much.

In the blink of an eye, Qi De sprinted up to the Dual-tail Scorpion. Although he was a large man and didn’t seem to be adept at speed, his speed was actually not slow, especially since he wasn’t wearing armor, making him light on his feet! He easily dodged the Scorpion’s attack, circled around its two large pincers, and went straight for the Dual-tail Scorpion’s face.
