" Hiss! " *SWOOSH* *BANG* The Scorpion attacks Chen Kai with his big tail but " Hump! " Chen Kai jumps back once again avoiding the stinger of the big tail, that hits the ground destroying it in the process
" RA! " Chen Kai attacks the Scorpion's tail that was still embedded in the ground *PUM* The tail shakes at Chen Kai's punch, but it seems that only made some small cracks on the Scorpion's tail exoskeleton where Chen Kai hit it
" HISS! " *SWOOSH* " ...! " The Scorpion attacks Chen Kai with its big left pincer, but before it hits him, Chen Kai jumps again landing on the big pincer, then he begins to run above it wanting to approach the Scorpion's body through it
The Scorpion retracts its tail from the ground and when it does that, Chen Kai takes that opportunity to throw a few Ki blasts at its face *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* The Ki blasts exploded at contact with the Scorpion's face creating a few black clouds in the process
Then *SWOOSH* *BANG* " Grr! " The Scorpion swings its tail and hits Chen Kai who receives the attack with his guard up, the Scorpion's attack sends him flying against the trees behind him destroying a couple of them in the process
" Hahaha " Chen Kai makes a dry laugh as he stands and cleans the blood from his mouth keeping his eyes on the Scorpion. The Scorpion lost most of its left side's eyes by Chen Kai's attack and was still bleeding from there ' It seems that only its eyes were destroyed by my Ki Blasts, that exoskeleton is very tough, I have to attack it from below, or... '
" ...?! " The Scorpion begins to charge against Chen Kai once again, Chen Kai points both of his palms at the Scorpion *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* He shoots multiple Ki blasts against the Scorpion, but the Scorpion raises its big pincers to protect its body from the attacks
Chen Kai sees this and smirks ' It seems that it's as smart as the King Scorpion, maybe I could take advantage of it ' Then he begins to run against the Scorpion and jumps towards it, and *PUM* he hits its right pincer making the pincer tremble, almost immediately the Scorpion responds by hitting Chen Kai with his left pincer, and once again he was sent flying against some trees
By the attack, Chen Kai was bleeding from his head but despite that, he charged against the Scorpion. He kept doing that again and again but all the time he was smiling with satisfaction
' Haha, I don't know why but this is fun, it isn't the same as when I practiced with Shallot, I want to keep fighting like this, maybe I'm becoming crazy? ' Chen Kai at some point began to think that he was crazy to not finish his battle with the Scorpion by using the plan he had against it, besides, most of his injuries seemed to be superficial which allowed him to keep charging against the Scorpion multiple times
But the Scorpion, being smart, begins to attack more ruthlessly until *PIERCE* It stings Chen Kai's left shoulder with his big sting to then grab him with its left pincer and smash him to the ground
The Scorpion sees Chen Kai half-buried in the ground noticing that he doesn't show any signs of movement, then he grabs him by the waist with both of its pincers and approaches him towards its mouth
But suddenly, Chen Kai opens his eyes and blue energy appears on his right palm then he yells " Open wide!! " And thinks ' Spirit Cannon! ' And he throws the energy directly towards the Scorpion's mouth. The blue energy causes the Scorpion's insides to begin to explode expelling energy through its body and in a second the Scorpion falls smoking from every part of its body
Chen Kai removed the pincers that were still grabbing him and whispered with disappointment " Well, it's over, I wanted to keep going, but it seems that this thing doesn't " Then Chen Kai checked the shoulder where the Scorpion stung him ' The injury is kinda deep, but it doesn't hurt so much, besides it seems that I'm completely immune its poison, all thanks to those strange liquids that Shallot gave us when we met ' Then he puts his right hand inside his vest and takes out a little bag from it emptying the content of the bag in his left hand they were small green beans
Chen Kai begins to count the beans " 17, 18, 19, 20, he just gave me 20 of these beans, I could use one of them to heal myself right now, but Shallot said that these will be the only ones I will have until I see him again a year later "
Chen Kai closes his left palm and begins to move his arm in circles ' I can move my arm without problems, so I just need to take care of the bleeding, a few herbs near here could help, but first '
Chen Kai approaches the Scorpion's head and *PAM* he begins to hit it multiple times at the same point, he keeps hitting the Scorpion until it is full of cracks, then he begins to remove the exoskeleton and then starts to remove chunks of meat. The whole process covered him with the Scorpion's blood, but he just kept doing it without stopping, and finally, he stopped to start grinning a little ' There's the Life Gem, I can sell it for a good price ' He grabbed the Life Gem that was of brown and has the same size of a fist putting it in another empty small bag that then he ties the bag on the right side of his pants, then he sees the Scorpion's tail ' Even the stinger can be sold for some silver taels ' then he begins to walk towards the forest ' But that can wait, I need to find those herbs '
Chen Kai left the Scorpion's corpse after a few minutes steps could be heard near the corpse, but it seemed that it wasn't just one person
Meanwhile, Chen Kai took the last herb he needed to then turned it into some kind of paste, he rubbed the paste on his pierced shoulder not showing any signs of pain ' That should be enough to stop the bleeding, with the rate I seem to heal the wound will disappear in a couple of days or less ' then he frowned and turned to see behind him ' Someone is close... they are three, they are near the Scorpion's corpse ' Then Chen Kai runs back
When he was near the corpse he jumped above it and the first thing he said was " Why don't you get yours? " Surprising the people that were searching for the Life Gem near the Scorpion's head
There were two young women and a young man, one of the young women and the young man was around Chen Kai's age, but the other woman seemed to be younger. Chen Kai sees them and the first thing he thinks is ' I see... ' making a smiling face
