Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 24
Advertisement
Titan ran desperately. He ran ten miles of distance to the Scorpion mercenary group in one breath.
The enormous terror supported him, otherwise, he would not be able to reach the speed of 100 kilometers per hour in such a short period.
This speed could even compare to the jaguar's.
The leader of the Scorpion mercenary group was an American, Valk.
Although he was not tall, he was a vicious person.
There was once a rich man who offended him, and Valk endured it at that time. But after two years, after Valk's power grew stronger, he secretly killed the whole family of the rich man.
At that time, the man's child was only a few months old. He also got killed by Valk and burned to ashes.
It was the reason that Titan was unwilling to deal with him.
If it were not for Alex's pursuit this time, he would not have come here for the rest of his life.
It was a small valley. Vines and forests surrounded it. The periphery of the valley was filled with towering ancient trees. The branches were crisscrossed, looking very secretive.
There were four to five tents in the valley. The tents were very close to each other.
Compared to the tents set up by Titan, the ones here were much larger.
Around the tents, there were a few men dressed in mercenary uniforms patrolling. They entirely focused on patrolling, and their eyes shot out a cold and stern gaze.
It was as if nothing in the surroundings could escape from their sight.
"Who is it!" One of the men aimed his submachine gun at Titan.
Soon, the others rushed over when they heard the sound.
Four or five people surrounded Titan, raised the submachine gun in their hands, and pointed it at his chest.
"Titan, I was wondering who would be so daring to intrude on our Scorpion mercenary group. So It's you. Why aren't you staying in your territory? What are you doing here?" One of the men narrowed his eyes.

There were three large poachers' organizations in the world. They were Leopard poachers, Scorpion poachers, and Python poachers. Titan belonged to Leopard Poachers, and Scorpion mercenary group belonged to Scorpion poachers.
They were two different camps.
But sometimes, these camps were both cooperative and hostile.
Titan had met Valk during a mission, but he looked down on Valk from the bottom of his heart. He thought that he was just a tiny person who liked to cause trouble behind the scenes.
Just like at that time, Valk killed the whole family secretly. If it were him, Titan would choose a violent way to directly kill them, using violence and blood to make them fear, and finally, let them die in despair and regret.
But Valk chose to play tricks on them. Because of two completely different ways of doing things, they were destined not to work together. That was also the reason why Titan was unwilling to deal with him.
"Your boss, I want to see him," Titan said anxiously.
Alex would come any time. He had to find Valk and explain the situation.
Otherwise, these toy guns would be useless.
Titan looked at the submachine gun pointing at his chest and showed a hint of disdain.
"Our boss is not here. Let me know if anything happens."
This man was Valk's confidant. He had met him once before, and his name was Laura.
Titan was a little anxious, but he had no choice since Valk was not here.
"Damn, Valk. He was not there when something important happened."
Titan knew Valk's secret. He was a superpowered person who could emit high-temperature flames. He had seen the scene of the child turning into ashes with his own eyes.
Until now, when he thought of that scene, he still felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet.
Looking at Titan's strange expression, Laura seemed to have realized something. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Titan, you offended someone, right? You came here to seek refuge."

Seeing Titan's unwilling expression, Laura refused, "If you don't explain clearly, please leave. To be able to force you into such a state, it must not be a small trouble. Even if you are a friend of our boss, we don't welcome you."
Titan's face was gloomy, and he did not speak.
Laura was only a little leader. Titan's identity was equal to that of Valk. If he told Valk that the
Scorpion was chasing him, it would be fine if he got mocked.
Everyone was used to mocking each other when they met.
But if their underlings mocked them, it would be a little embarrassing.
However, the situation in front of him did not give him time to consider.
With Alex's speed, he might have already arrived and was hiding in a secret place to keep an eye on them.
Thinking of this, he could not help but turn around and look. He kept feeling insecure.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll speak." Titan compromised.
"You have to listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. I'm telling the truth. All my subordinates are dead. A scorpion killed them."
Titan spoke very earnestly.
But Laura and the others all raised their heads and laughed loudly after listening. Their laughter was thunderous and impudent.
At this moment, they realized that as a boss, Titan had the talent to joke.
Titan was embarrassed. He roared at them angrily, "F*ck, do you think I am talking nonsense?"
His voice was booming, and there were faint signs of anger.
Laura looked at Titan's nervous appearance. It did not seem like he was lying, but they could not imagine the scene of a scorpion killing someone.
Crawling on your face and then stretching out two small pincers to grab your throat.
That was too ridiculous!
In their understanding, a scorpion was only the size of a bottle cap. Even the largest scorpion in the world, the Emperor Scorpion, was only 20 centimeters long.
Although its poison was fierce, it would not kill everyone.
Besides, emperor scorpions lived in Africa.
"Enough, I am not lying. It killed all my mates. It is not an ordinary scorpion. Its body is more than two meters long, and it has two large pincers. One of them is like the stinger of a steel whip!" Titan roared.
At this moment, Laura and the others were all solemn.
If this were true, the situation would be terrible.
"Where is it now?" Laura asked.
"I'm not sure either. It's chasing me. It might be on its way here. It might have already arrived. It's hiding somewhere now."
Titan was not sure either.
He had a ridiculous idea. The scorpion had deliberately let him go. After all, when Cotton had met it, he had also run back.
Then, it was his turn this time.
Could it be that it was hunting all the poachers? Titan's face turned pale. If that was the case, he had to leave this damn place.
Titan thought he needed to call his boss and ask him to send superpowered people to save him.
Damn the Amazon rainforest. He would never come again after leaving this time.
Just as he was about to make a satellite phone call, he saw Laura and the others from the corner of his eyes and found that they were all stunned.
"F*ck!"
Titan could see the claws of a scorpion in the reflection of their eyes.
It raised its tail high, emitting a cold light under the moonlight.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
