Ethan continued forward, walking nonchalantly among the rubbles of the ruined houses; this was probably a village some time ago until it was run down by beasts, and the villagers had to abandon it.
Ethan walked till he was almost out of the village when he heard a sound and quickly turned sideways in the direction of the sound and saw a scorpion.
A massive black scorpion, easily the size of a horse, emerged from behind one of the broken houses.
Ethan had never fought a scorpion before, but it was just a scorpion, nothing else.
Its exoskeleton glistened under the sunlight, pincers snapping with a sharp metallic clink. The creature's eyes locked onto him, and it began to charge, legs skittering rapidly over the dirt.
Ethan wasted no time in bringing his sword out from his storage ring as he held it tightly waiting for the scorpion.
