Scorpions were slow creatures due to their small size, so although they moved their legs quickly, the actual speed at which they moved on the sand was not particularly fast. However, slowly the scorpions were moving forward and getting closer and closer to the target of their wrath.
Dozens of vengeful scorpions were advancing at the same time and their eyes seemed to have turned bloodshot as they looked at the emperor seemingly stunned on the ground without movement let alone showing any signs of getting up or waking up.
In fact, there were dozens and not hundreds or even thousands because there was a certain range within which the scorpions could react to the death of their comrades, or else the scene would be much worse!
Dozens of level five monsters trying to attack a God grade boss whose level had already reached the maximum? It was just a funny joke and if someone told it they would probably all laugh out loud.
