The Double-tailed Emperor Scorpion's tail struck out like a whip cracking through the air, and the Shadow Claw Monster blocked it with lightning speed, its claws clanging loudly against the scorpion's tail armor.
The Shadow Claw Monster slid backwards, barely able to keep its footing.
"Zhao Yaqian, you!"
Wang Hu looked at Zhao Yaqian, wanting to persuade her again, but he was cut off by her resolute gaze, and he bellowed angrily, "Retreat, the mission has failed!"
Reluctant as they were, now was not the time to act rashly. The Double-tailed Emperor Scorpion was too powerful; only Zhao Yaqian's Shadow Claw Monster could withstand it to some extent.
Without her intervention, none of them could escape, and now, the Double-tailed Scorpions were closing in again, gradually advancing towards them.
