The Desert Hermit Crab took Ling Xiao to an oasis, which touched him deeply. Although the creature had been a bit rough at first, it quickly became obedient after being chastised by him, and seemed to even realize he was thirsty, hence bringing him to the oasis.
Well, that's what he initially thought.
It wasn't until he saw the bizarre-looking Scorpion people warily watching him from within the oasis that he understood the creature hadn't been kind at all. It had been plotting retribution the whole time and had brought him straight into a scorpion's nest.
The Desert Hermit Crab submerged itself into the water, actually emitting a sound of triumph.
It was definitely a laugh, Ling Xiao was completely sure of it!
Damn it!
Ling Xiao cursed under his breath, unable to believe he'd been played by a beast.
However, the Desert Hermit Crab's smugness didn't last long, as Ling Xiao pressed his right hand against the ground, and a Shadow Cone pierced through the earth to give chase.
