It was a giant scorpion, and it moved toward them. The scorpion was about two feet long. It was a two feet long scorpion! His body was shiny-black, and its shell looked as hard as iron armor; it looked indestructible.
The giant insect had blood-red eyes; they looked like red rubies.
"Is that the Red Eye King Scorpion?"
Yvette shivered and shouted.
Darryl was shocked when he heard that. " You know about this thing?"
The Red Eye King Scorpion charged at them.
Yvette was the closest to it; she was swept by its tail and bounced into the air.
Bang!
She hit the stone wall before she landed on the ground. She vomited a mouthful of blood; her face was pale.
"Are you alright?" Darryl asked. He did not expect to see such a giant scorpion.
That hit even seemed effortless.
Yvette coughed; she was seriously injured. She said hurriedly, "It's the Red Eye King Scorpion. It only appears in ancient tombs and is extremely poisonous. Due to its long duration in the tomb, it will attack any human that it sees. Be careful!"
Right after she said that, the Red Eye Scorpion King roared and charged toward Darryl at an unimaginably high speed.
Darryl had the blood-drinking sword in his hand; he aimed it at the scorpion.
It pierced its tail into Darryl's back and released the venom into his body.
"Argh!" Darryl shouted in pain. At the same time, he pierced his sword into the giant scorpion and took its life. The scorpion struggled on the ground and for a short while before it became motionless. It had died.
Darryl held his fists tightly. He felt numb on his back, and then he could no longer feel his body. He paled.
The next second, Darryl dropped onto the ground as he shook uncontrollably.
"Darryl! How are you feeling?" Yvette rushed toward him.
Darryl's lips quivered, but he could not speak. His whole body felt weak. Would he die?
Darryl's heart was filled with regrets. He thought that he would find treasures in the ancient tomb. He did not expect to see a Red Eye King Scorpion before he could find the treasure. He also did not foresee that a scorpion would poison him.
