Chapter 1124 (1/2)
”I think we should go,” Simbady mumbled under his breath after a rueso, thus he would rather stay undersea than here
The glow of the tablets ht of the oil lamp could only illuminate a small area around theerous darkness, facing the unknown
Neither of thee of the cave yet
”Go?” Rex croaked, a note of quaver in his voice ”What are you talking about? I'm sure that even Sir Thunder has not seen a scene like this before Are they relics? No this is definitely a ruin!”
”The ruin won't go anywhere We can co to find a way to persuade Rex to leave ”Your assistants and the Society of Wondrous Crafts are all waiting for your good news outside”
Hearing the naht We need to tell the, hang on I need to take so froer from his sack and started to chisel a tablet ”Don't worry, it won't take ather some evidence”
Simbady had no choice but to obey After all, Rex was his employer, and since he had already accepted this job, he had to take soold royals
He tried to convince hiht not be as eerie as it appeared to be It was just a little bit dark, and thereat all
”Clink, clink, clink”
Every ti his knife, a clink that was a off the wall of the cave
Sih the tablet, the light would beco
He shook his head, trying to put these thoughts away
He really was not in the e stonewares lay around the tottering wall, which Sied were the tools used by the workers who had initially shi+pped the tablets here Nevertheless, these tools were all rotten now after years of water erosion He picked a few and cra as Rex had instructed
”Clink, clink, clink”
Rex was still focused on cutting the tablet and he already had five to six chipped stones the size of a nail littering next to hied when suddenly, he captured a discordant note
It was also a clink butthe tablet
”Is this an echo?” Simbady wondered
Then he realized this was i in the same positions How could an echo suddenly appear from nowhere?
”Rex”
”Just a moment This is the last one”
”Stop for a second”
”Give me seven more minutes — ”
”I said STOP!” he bellowed
Rex was stunned, his dagger suspended in the air The piercing clink i sound still existed and was noly approaching the He cra around, and said, ”What's that?”
Just at thatflash in the distance
In the dazzling light, Sirown desert scorpion, its clah up in the air, leveling their waists The tail was filled with green veno by, they would only have seven minutes to take the antidote
”damn The sound of our knives must have startled it!” Simbady drew out his knife and said, ”Step back slowly and fix your eyes on the scorpion Don't look away”
For a first-rate Mojin warrior, a desert scorpion was not difficult to deal with, for scorpions were unintelligent and slow creatures The only thing that ht pose a threat was their venomous tail; however, this was also their weak point If the scorpion failed to hit its target, Simbady would have a chance to slash its tail in half
The problem was that Simbady was not an excellent warrior by anysince he was a kid, he had never participated in any hunting events, nor had he ever fought a desert scorpion
He had no choice but to attempt it
After Rex hid behind Simbady, Simbady said in a hushed voice, ”Now, look down Don't move no matter what happens”
