Chapter 852: The Sand King Arrives
The place where the giant scorpion emerged was directly below the formation of the Westwind Warriors. Although the warriors had been trying their best to retreat, their speed of retreat was much slower than the scorpions speed of burrowing. As a result, the scorpion effortlessly dug its way beneath everyones feet and then forcefully emerged from the ground, thrusting upwards.
Boom!
With a loud noise, all the Westwind Warriors directly above the scorpion were sent flying into the air. At least twenty or thirty of them flailed their limbs, screaming and flying a long distance before crashing heavily to the ground. The metallic armor they wore made a clanging sound as it fell.
The two Norma observers watching from within the city couldnt help but smile triumphantly. Now they know how powerful it is, huh? Hehe, these twenty or thirty people are definitely going to die. With such a forceful blow from the scorpion, no one can withstand the tremendous impact. Their internal organs will all be shattered.
However, before their words had even finished, all twenty-three warriors who were sent flying managed to flip over and get back on their feet. They shook their heads and cursed, Damn, what kind of weird bug is this?
The two People of Norma:
Among the group of warriors who were thrown off, Kante was also there. After he got up and regained his footing, he shouted, Where did this huge scorpion come from? What do you desert people feed these scorpions? How did it grow so big?
Motra couldnt help but sweat. We didnt feed it. This should be the legendary monster at the border of the Qinghong Mountain Range and the Desert Kingdom, the Sand King!
Kante asked, What the hell is that? A monster? It even has a name? I thought all the insects in the desert were this distinctive.
No way! Motra exclaimed. Stop the nonsense, be careful, this thing is about to attack.
The Sand King swung its enormous pincers forward. Kante, who had just gotten up from the ground and was talking to Motra, completely underestimated the scorpions attack. The large pincer instantly caught Kante and lifted him up into the air with a snap.
The nearby soldiers were startled and shouted loudly, This is bad!
The large pincer clamped Kante around the waist and lifted him up in mid-air. The two People of Norma began to laugh again, He will die now, right? With a gentle squeeze from the large pincer, it can easily snap him in half at the waist.
However, their joy lasted only a few seconds. They noticed that the Sand King seemed to be struggling a bit. It turned out that it was exerting force, trying to crush Kante in half. However, no matter how hard it squeezed, it couldnt crush him. It tried again with even more force, still nothing. It even used all its strength to squeeze, but still, nothing.
Kante was wearing a set of Titansteel armor, which had an insanely high level of hardness. Unless the Sand King used a special skill, thinking that it could break through the defense of this armor with a regular attack was simply wishful thinking.
The Westwind Warrior threw two grenades at the Sand King, causing two thunderous explosions. The explosive magic stored in the grenades detonated on the Sand Kings back. The Sand King roared in anger, showing no visible wounds on its body, but a significant portion of its carapace was charred black, making it extremely furious.
The Sand King shook its large pincers, intending to strike at the soldier. However, the soldier waved his hand, throwing two more grenades, and many other grenadiers also threw grenades at it.
The Sand Kings pincer attack froze in mid-air, and then it suddenly dived into the ground with a swift movement.
The grenades landed where it had just been, exploding into nothingness.
The soldiers were slightly taken aback, but suddenly they felt the earth trembling. The Sand King burst out from beneath their feet, sending dozens of soldiers who were standing on the ground flying into the air, crashing down in the distance.
Then, with another swift movement, it dived back into the ground.
Damn, this blasted thing! Kante shouted, If it stays underground, how are we going to fight it?
Elsie exclaimed, Who knows? Do we have any earth magicians?
I have a magic tool with Earth Rupture inside! a soldier rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a square box. He placed the box on the ground and pressed the switch on top. With a click, the box opened on all sides, releasing a surge of earth magic.
The ground split apart, creating a deep fissure on both sides.
However, it didnt make much difference. Earth Rupture didnt hit the Sand King. Who knew where it was underground? Besides, this was a desert, and the fissure created by the spell was instantly filled with sand pouring in from both sides, burying it.
The group was slightly stunned, and before they could react, the Sand King emerged from another location, sending a dozen soldiers who were standing directly above it flying into the air.
Damn it, this thing keeps hiding underground. We cant deal with it easily.
We cant hit it.
The Westwind Warriors grumbled awkwardly.
They were entangled by the Sand King, unable to support their allies on the other side. Meanwhile, the rebel forces supported by the Kingdom of Norma launched a fierce assault from behind, causing the three rebel groups on their side to retreat steadily.
