Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive Chapter 590: The Armoured Scorpion

Chu Miao had used a little spiritual energy and the rest was raw strength.

Seeing that she was able to make the scorpion retreat, she could tell that her body was becoming stronger by the minute.

Before the scorpion could launch another attack, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and hit it straight in the back.

Ye Xuan had attacked it, but unlike before when one lightning strike could eliminate hundreds of zombies, the effect on the scorpion was limited.

The lightning spread across the scorpion’s body, causing it to twitch for a mont, but it didn’t break through its defenses.

"It’s resistant to elental attacks," Ye Xuan said calmly, already analyzing the situation.

"Of course it is!" Pei Ming shouted as he dodged another strike from the scorpion’s tail. "Why wouldn’t it be?!"

"This place is ant for body tempering," Qi Long said, his expression serious. "So naturally, the beasts here are built the sa way."

"In other words..." Gu Fan grinned slightly.

"...we have to fight it with our bodies. Using spiritual energy is just a waste."

Chu Miao landed lightly on the sand, her gaze fixed on the scorpion.

Her golden aura flickered faintly around her.

"Everyone," she said calmly, "limit your spiritual techniques. Those are just to distract it or when absolutely necessary."

"Focus on close combat."

No one hesitated. After everything they had gone through in the apocalypse, they trusted Chu Miao’s judgent completely.

"Fine," Chu Hao cracked his neck. "Let’s see whose body is tougher."

"Yours?" Li Kun smirked. "Not likely."

"Wanna bet?" Chu Hao asked smugly.

"Not now you guys!" Ye Xuan cut in sharply.

He never understood how these two guys managed to turn serious situations into jokes.

The scorpion had already moved again.

This ti, it didn’t attack blindly.

Instead, its movents beca more calculated as if it had gained intelligence.

It seed to be learning their fighting techniques.

Chu Miao imdiately noticed this small detail and warned everyone.

"Be careful."

The scorpion suddenly burrowed into the sand and disappeared instantly.

"Where did it go?!" Li Pan asked, her voice becoming tense.

"Underground," Ye Xuan replied "But..."

Before he could finish,

The sand beneath Li Kian exploded.

"Ah...!"

A massive claw shot upward, aiming to grab him and probably pull him under the sand.

Li Kian reacted instantly, twisting his body mid-air and avoided it by a hair’s breath.

The claw grazed his side, tearing his clothes and leaving a shallow wound.

He landed roughly a few ters away, his breathing slightly uneven.

"Damn it... that was close."

"Don’t stay in one place!" Chu Miao shouted.

"Keep moving!"

Staying in the sa spot ant the scorpion could find them at any mont.

It seed that it had changed its strategy.

It morized their locations then it attacked depending on the position it rembered.

The group imdiately spread out, their movents becoming faster and more unpredictable.

The desert turned into a battlefield of shifting sand and blurred figures.

The scorpion attacked from below repeatedly, its strikes becoming faster each ti.

However, Chu Miao and her companions weren’t to be trifled with either.

They could always dodge the attacks and even counterattack.

However, the heat didn’t stop. Especially now that they were concentrating on the battle.

Their bodies beca stronger at an even faster rate.

Their movent techniques also beca faster.

Chu Miao suddenly stopped.

Her eyes closed briefly, then she stomped her foot lightly.

BOOM!

A ripple spread through the sand with her as the center.

The next mont

The scorpion burst out from the ground several ters away.

"Now!" she shouted as soon as she saw the scorpion surface.

Ye Xuan moved instantly.

His figure flashed forward, his fist wrapped in a thin layer of darkness energy.

He punched straight at the crack Chu Miao had created earlier.

BANG!

The crack widened and the scorpion screeched in pain.

At the sa ti, Chu Hao appeared on the other side.

"Let’s break this shell!"

He threw a punch with all his strength.

And the crack widened in a different direction.

It was now starting to resemble the shell of a tortoise.

Probably due to the pain, the scorpion’s movents beca erratic

Seeing this, everyone closed in on it and attacked at the sa ti.

The attacks didn’t have any flashy movents or overwhelming techniques.

It was purely raw physical strength.

Each strike landed on the sa spot again and again.

The cracks spread like a spiderweb across the scorpion’s back and its screeches beca louder and more desperate.

It lashed out wildly, its tail swinging in all directions.

"Watch out!"

Li Pan was almost hit, but Li Han pulled her away just in ti.

"We can’t let it go underground again!" Qi Long shouted.

"I’ve got it! Leave it to ." Pei Ming replied.

He dashed forward, ignoring the burning heat that seed to be coming from the scorpion.

At the mont the scorpion tried to burrow underground again, he grabbed one of its legs.

"Not this ti!"

His muscles tensed as he pulled with all his strength.

The scorpion struggled violently.

Chu Miao didn’t give it ti to break free as she appeared above it again and drove her first on its back again.

This ti, she held nothing back.

"Move!" She shouted.

Pei Ming let go instantly and retreated several ters away.

Chu Miao’s fist descended.

BOOOOOOM!!!

The impact was devastating.

The scorpion’s armored back shattered completely.

Fragnts flew in all directions and the scorpion itself was embedded into the sand where a large crater had ford.

Silence fell in the desert once more with the only sound being the heavy breathing of the group that had just gone through the battle.

"...Did we just kill that thing... with our fists?" Li Kian asked, still in disbelief.

"Yes," Ye Xuan replied calmly.

Li Kian laughed weakly.

"...I feel like I’ve been beaten up instead."

The forr soldier was finally developing a sense of humor.

Chu Miao stepped forward and looked at the scorpion’s remains.

Inside its shattered body, a glowing red demon core floated.

It was radiating so much heat it could burn through steel.
