Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 23
Advertisement
Following Titan's gaze, when Connors and the others saw Alex, they felt their throats dry up and were stunned.
What Cotton said was indeed true. A scorpion more than two meters long existed in this world.
It ultimately turned their worldview around.
They had hunted in the Amazon rainforest for more than twenty years and had seen many strong creatures. There were six-meter long lizards, thirteen-meter long pythons, and two-headed caiman crocodiles.
However, this was the first time they had seen such a giant scorpion.
After being shocked, Titan immediately revealed a strong sense of greed. Such a giant scorpion could make him a fortune.
If he caught this scorpion, he would never have to come to this damned place in the future.
Those wealthy South Americans liked such an rare creature very much. Moreover, such a giant scorpion was probably the only scorpion in the world.
Its value was immeasurable.
Looking at the greedy eyes of Titan, Cotton knew that he had the same thoughts as he had before.
But this scorpion was not ordinary. It was a terrifying bloodthirsty giant scorpion.
Whether it was the scorpion's feet or the high tail stinger, they were not something they could beat.
At that time, Cotton looked back and saw Sam's head explode like a watermelon. Blood splattered out. He would never forget this scene.
Ordinary guns were useless against it. Probably the shotgun can kill it?
Looking at the shotgun in Vesta's hand, Cotton breathed in relief.
At this time, Alex was still four to five meters away from them. He made the first move.
The stinger swung in the air, and the sharp stinger directly stabbed at Vesta. This smooth action was fast, ruthless, and accurate.
"F * ck!" Vesta cursed when he saw the giant scorpion stinger coming straight at him.
However, just as he was about to raise the shotgun in his hand, Alex's stinger pierced through his head. With a considerable force, he spun abruptly, and blood splattered all over the sky, splattering all over the bodies of the people.

They smelled the thick smell of blood and looked in the direction of Vesta and were suddenly shocked.
He was still standing in the same place, but his neck was dripping with blood, revealing the cold bone stubble. No one knew where his head had gone, and then he fell to the ground in front of everyone's eyes.
"F*ck!"
"Damn it!"
"Shoot quickly. This scorpion is too powerful."
Titan quickly raised the submachine gun in his hand and aimed it at Alex.
"Da Da Da Da!"
Dense gunshots rang out, and the golden bullets formed an encirclement. However, Alex was not afraid at all. In the rain of bullets, he raised his pincers and directly killed two men.
Alex snapped their necks. They fell to the ground weakly with their eyes wide open.
Everyone was terrified.
Fear, panic, horror, regret, sadness.
In a short period, all kinds of complicated emotions rose in their hearts. At this moment, money and benefits were all BULLISH * T!.
Alex had gone through four evolutions, so he was not afraid of these ordinary bullets at all.
Even if there was a Barrett rifle, the king of guns that could penetrate tanks, Alex was confident that he could contend against it.
Not to mention these toy guns in front of him.
The submachine guns, AK rifles, and the shotgun that people called the king of combat were useless.
In the face of fear, Boogie roared and pulled the trigger crazily, but it could not stop Alex's footsteps at all. Alex crawled towards him step by step
.
"Damn it!"
Boogie took out the grenade at his waist. "Come on, you monster."
He wanted to blow up this hateful scorpion.
But in the next second, he had just pulled the trigger of the grenade when he felt a sharp pain in his palm. It turned out that Alex's tail had swept over and accurately cut through his forearm.

The grenade was also shot out and exploded in the distance.
Boogie's entire body was in massive pain. He could only watch as the scorpion tail swept over. With a clear sound, Alex broke his spine, and he slowly fell to the ground. He died a miserable death.
There were seven leopard poachers, and there were only four people left in the blink of an eye.
Titan, Cotton, and the remaining two people were all in despair.
This scorpion was simply invincible. It was a super tank in the Amazon rainforest.
Not only was its defense strong, but its scorpion legs were also robust. Where did this thing come from? Why had they never seen it in the past twenty years?
But the situation did not allow them to consider. Titan's face was gloomy, and the other two men were also in despair.
Cotton looked at the giant golden scorpion, and his heart collapsed.
He knelt on the ground in fear and wailed loudly. He knocked his head with a "Bang Bang," and his face was full of despair.
Of course, Alex would not forgive him easily. Since he had provoked him, he had to be aware that he was going to die.
The Scorpion tail that came like a hurricane directly hit Cotton's neck. His entire head distorted, and it was evident that Alex had broken his spine.
Titan was already dumbfounded. His team was all experienced people who had been through hundreds of battles. They had once killed the mercenaries who had clashed with each other, but they did not have the strength to resist when facing Alex.
Terror, panic, fear, fear, regret, all those feelings were coming up.
Tiran escaped!
In just a short span of ten seconds, six out of seven people had turned into corpses. Alex let Titan go on purpose.
He knew that there were many poachers in the Amazon rainforest. If Alex wanted to find their location faster, he would need a good guide. Titan was a good choice.
"Bang Bang Bang!"
Although Titan was massive, in terms of escaping skills, he was not inferior at all.
He ran a few thousand meters in one breath. He leaned against an ancient tree and panted heavily. He was scared.
Now that he thought about how terrifying that giant scorpion was, he could not help but be afraid.
Especially its pincers. They were like sharp cutting machines that could easily cut open a person's neck. It was too terrifying.
If it were possible, he would prefer not to have been to the Amazon rainforest.
He knew that this scorpion would not let him go. It might be chasing him crazily from a thousand meters away. When he thought of that scene, Titan could not help but tremble.
It was a devil.
An ordinary scorpion's feet were full of protein. Tiran liked eating scorpions a lot. They were very crispy and tasted very good.
However, the feet of this scorpion were as if they were made of steel. They could not even be pierced through by bullets.
Titan could imagine the scene where the scorpion's feet could easily tear his neck. He had to find a safe place now.
He couldn't stop. He had to continue moving forward.
"Scorpion mercenary group. Yes, they have rocket launchers. They can kill this scorpion."
Titan thought of something and ran in the direction of the Scorpion mercenary group.
But what he did not know was that when he was resting just now, Alex was in the bushes less than ten meters away from him, staring at him coldly.
"Scorpion mercenary group, how interesting." Alex thought to himself.
I am a scorpion; you are a scorpion hunter mercenary. Let's see who will die!

8 238Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
