He propped himself up lying against a rock. Looking down at his leg was quite disturbing a row of puncture marks going straight to the bone.
"Oh, shit my bones are gold" Looking into the wound he could see a gold sheen from below his blood.
tarring some fabric from his shirt and wrapping it around his bite to try and stop the bleeding.
"RRUU" He tightened the makeshift bandage with a grim face.
Looking it seemed like the blood had slowed down a lot.
Laying back he took a rest for a few minutes.
Taking some time to get back some mental stability he looked around and remembered his goal.
Opening the map, he could see the entrance to the mountain claw was only a few miles away.
His leg was in pain but with his golden bones, there were no major injuries so he could still walk although it would be slower than before.
Pulling himself off the ground he started hobbling towards his destination.
From his time playing the game, he remembered that its day and night syscall was different. Unlike on earth which had a 24-hour day hear was a 32-hour day 16 hours of sunlight 16 hours of the night.
Looking at the sky you could tell why 2 suns and 5 moons unlike Earth's yellow sun there were blue and a green sun.
Looking over the desert it looked so beautiful golden duns flowing like water with a glisten of lite bouncing off the sand waves.
As he was looking, he spotted something on the edge of the stone.
"AW cute guess it's called the Desert of death for a reason," He said looking at the skeleton of a person.
His appreciation of the beauty soon brought him back to just how deadly the desert was hell he almost died a few minutes ago.
----[4 hours]----
He was now Half a mile from the claw entrance when he heard a loud banging sound like something was fighting.
"ROAR"
The roar echoed down almost blowing his eardrums looking far off into the desert he saw 2 creatures going blow for blow.
----[Creature]----
----[Creature]----
A red scorpion was pinned down by what can only be said of a wingless dragon. The drake was 8 meters long with sharp razer claws on its front and back legs. A long curvy tail with spins running from the tip to the nose on its head. Snake-like eyes and a jaw full of green teeth.
The red scorpion stood at 7 meters in length with 2 lethal-looking razor-sharp claws. Sharp barbs covered its tail to pincer with a pair of green eyes. Its tail looked agile and fast with a sharp stinger covered in green poison.
The Drake pushed all its body weight on its front legs trying to crush the scorpion's exoskeleton. The drake's hind legs were exposed.
"SMASH"
The scorpion clamped down its claw on a back leg tearing to the bone.
"ROAR"
A roar of pain escaped the drake's mouth as it tried to get its leg back. Reckless the drake maybe but it was still a lesser dragon.
"Slash"
The drake slashed at the scorpion's eyes in hopes of being freed. Blue blood started leaking out of the eye, but the scorpion refused to let go and prepared its stinger for an attack.
The drake went for another attack on its eyes.
"STAB" "RAOR"
The stinger was embedded in the drake's neck.
"CHOMP"
The drake turned its head and laid its full jaw power into the tail joint of the scorpion using all the force it could until.
"SNAP"
It bit the stinger clean off.
"EEEEERRRRR"
The scorpion emitted a high-pitched sound that could knock someone out. The scorpion let go of the drake's leg and both parties retreated. The drake limping and the scorpion bleeding from its eye and tail.
"This is a badass I might make a gladiator area in the future" Ravin had been watching the fight from behind a rock making sure not to be spotted.
He never liked animal cruelty but dam this fight was entertaining to watch.
Both sides stood at a standstill circling each over waiting for the overs move. Poison was taking effect on the Drake as its body started swaying slightly and shaking its head trying to refocus its vision. As for the scorpion, it feared no beater with half its vision lost and a spout of blood shooting out its tail.
Ravin felt like chanting 'fight fight fight' but didn't want the attention of ever of them so he watched with tension.
The drake lunged and the scorpion did the same.
"CLASH"
Both slammed into each over the drake opening its jaw and biting down on one of its pincer joints. The scorpion uses its other pincers to grab the drake by the throat while starting to square.
The drake damaged the scorpion's pincer arm but soon its grip stopped air from getting in. As the drake got shorter of breath it started to panic. In a rabid bid to save its life, it started clawing with all its might.
"CHOMP" "BANG"
It bit through the scorpion's arm making it drop to the floor.
"EEEERRRR"
The scorpion slashed at the drake's head, but blood loss made its strength pathetically weak.
As the drake dodged its attack it climbed on top of the scorpion a clamped its jaw on the head of the scorpion.
"CHOMP"
And the fight was done the drake was the winner.
Stepping back onto the sand it could barely hold itself upright. Taking a few steps, it collapsed on the ground struggling to breathe.
Soon it closed its eyes for the last time with green liquid coming out of its eye.
That was also another thing about the desert most things were poisonous even the drakes' green teeth were poison.
Hobbling out from behind the hiding place he cautiously made his way over to the drake's corpse.
Patting the drake on the head "you fought well" he said smiling.
