One of the scorpions looked more aggressive than the others. It suddenly reared back. Its tail that glistening in the harsh desert sun coiled like a spring. It then aiming directly at Erend.
Without warning, it whipped forward with blinding speed and releasing a jet of thick black liquid from its stinger. The venom shot through the air like a bullet, the liquid twisting and spiraling as it closed in on Erend.
Erend barely had time to react. Instinctively, his body responded as his Dragon Scales shimmered to life, covering his skin in a protective layer of shimmering fiery red scales.
The black liquid hit him dead on, splattering across his scales. A sharp hissing sound erupted as the venom sizzled on contact, sending up small plumes of smoke.
