"I will reward your loyalty." She sends them to stop the raging tide of wild beasts because she can sense that the higher-ups or the current queen in this. small scorpion big tree will send a bunch of bugs to kill her.

As long as she could survive within a year she would be able to hide and survive this harsh environment.

She also needed to reproduce guards to strengthen her defense in the meantime.

The water scorpion bug queen looks at the scorpion salt king with annoyance, she can feel the body strength of the four, and this one is the one who's exceptional compared to the other three.

'You're lucky I didn't give you a choice.' She said with a mocking tone inside her head.

She can use this scorpion salt king in the meantime and she will look for another stronger mate once she is stabilized or being protected by the scorpion bug tree itself.

Because she needs him, once they mated, the scorpion salt king will be stronger a little making her survival ability higher if she didn't however her chance o dying is high.

She needs a king to create officials, and it would be her offspring.

"A pity you are weaker than me." She said directly which the salt king accepted her insults and bowed a little and answered "Yes, my queen."

The scorpion salt king is quite small because he is still on his anthroform, if he is not he would be slightly bigger than her.

Her high is pretty big and she looks strong, plus her ability is blood bending. As long as the enemy has blood, they can be paralyzed and be sucked dry out of their life force.

He also could have been stronger but because he was awakened much earlier, he became weaker thus making the salt king incompetent in her eyes.

"I have no match for you my queen." The salt king replies while bowing and showing submission, even if he is a tremor man

The queen's strength to blood bend and making everyone became controlled by her is incredible.

It's his instinct, just like the queen who is acting by her instinct, the salt king just submitted like that.

If he is just stronger even a little, he could've been a real scorpion king.

She gazes at the distance.

"I hope all your sacrifice would give you more time."

Crowds of the scorpion are now converging and concentrating on her position. She is preparing for having the salt king as someone who can mate with hee even if she is reluctant.

However, right now, she is thinking of three individuals because their job is delaying the tide of beasts.

The three are quite strong and had peculiar abilities, so her confidence is high even if they seem weaker than the salt king and her.

Although she marked them and enslaved them, the enslavement will be forcefully disabled once she starts the choosing ceremony with this salt king.

A moment later...

The blood scorpion queen, created a sign in the ground, seemingly like a ritual.

Her sharp like sword hands suddenly shined with deep red blood light, and...

Swift!

Suddenly, she attacked all the willing scorpion bug beasts around her spurting blood everywhere.

All the blood that was shed on the ground began to form and fill the mark she created. Until it forms a clearer look at the signing ritual.

"Ha!" She exhaled loudly!

She is now ready.

She is still confident that she can protect herself even if the three are not in here or not in there to delay the tide of beasts.

Because crowds of smaller scorpion's numbers are now rising and just by the sheer number of these little bug beasts scorpions she can very well protect herself this time.

Because to her, these cannon fodders are enough adding the three human individuals to give her reproduce her army.

"Come here." She signals her finger towards the salt which the scorpion salt king happily complied.

He is very excited, this time he will get even stronger and once the queen is accepted by the scorpion bug tree, he will also benefit from it.

Suddenly...

Ziiiiiiiiinnnggg!!

Pluck! Pluck! Pluck!

The blood queen and the scorpion king are shocked by what is happening. Around them, the sea little scorpions who are lively earlier began to fall in large numbers for unknown numbers.

Their mouths had foams on them and they are twitching, but the queen can feel that a large number of them are dying.

Their ceremony is interrupted!

The salt king suddenly became furious and shouted, "Arrgghhh!" and then he dashed forwards like an angry emperor towards the direction where all the little scorpions started falling them.

The queen on the other hand squinted her eyes a large pool of blood is surrounding her. She is ready anytime to the incoming enemy.

'This fool!' She said to the careless scorpion salt king, she is not mindless like that guy who just rushed forward.

She had a worried painted on her face, "Is it a high-level bug beast? or someone ready to sacrifice their life?"

'The current queen shouldn't be able to send a high level being because the poison but tree alone would kill them!' She thought, but she couldn't do anything about it and this time it's better to make sure.

Her aura rises constantly until it burst into an intense bloodlust, she can feel that the enemy's blood counts just by its killing intent.

To her it's horrifying! She can feel deep within her bones the coldness and the seemingly countless enemies that it vanquish!

She can also feel an invisible aura that is killing her scorpion minions.

The aura is mad like a dark cloud covering the sunshine. She is sure that this time the enemy is unlike the three humans and the scorpion salt king that cannot be underestimated.

"I will kill you! I will kill you!" The scorpion rushes like a mad man! "You interrupted the best part of the ceremony, I will kill you and gnaw on your flesh until nothing is left on yar bones!" He said loudly without holding back.

However, when he entered an area...

Bang!

"Oh really, I was planning on sparing you, but it seems I shouldn't be that lenient!"
