If the Mottled Scorpion Beast could talk.

They would definitely say that human nature is truly terrifying.

When a scorpion beast makes a move, it's always fair and square! Unlike humans, who resort to all sorts of trickery and deceit!

Where in this world do gifts fall from the sky? It just goes to show that morality is declining and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be.

Eating is comfortable.

After finishing the meal, they burst into tears.

Seeing the Mottled Scorpion Beast, which was originally about to continue sleeping, suddenly start rolling around on the spot, Yang Shan chuckled.

This hard scorpion must have tormented itself quite a bit in its past life.

Now let him know what human intelligence is! A special status has appeared on the Mottled Scorpion Beast's panel—

Poisoning: Affected by multiple toxins, the Bloodline Secret Skill is temporarily sealed, deducting 100 health points every 3 seconds for 300 seconds! The Bloodline Secret Skill cannot be used for five minutes, and a total of 10,000 health points will be deducted! Yang Shan never had any opportunities to soar to great heights in his previous life.

Not to mention any Heaven and Earth Oddities.

Ordinary equipment, ordinary techniques.

How to stand out from the vast number of mainstream players and become a top-notch player? Besides honing his game skills day after day, the most important thing is that Yang Shan likes to use his brain!

Don't be fooled by Yang Shan Shantong's one-shot kills during the match into thinking he's a reckless, headstrong fighter.

This guy once used a low-level gadget like Lime Powder to ambush and kill a powerful Dou Ling!

There are indeed many things in Battle Through the Heavens the Heavens that directly improve combat power.

But this is, after all, a virtual fantasy world that Tian Yao Company has poured everything into creating!

Therefore, Yang Shan's principle is:

If you can fight me head-on, I'll strike back with full force.

If you can't be straightforward, then be Old Schemer.

He held poisoned hidden weapons in his hand.

He took advantage of their moment to yell "Go away!" This really highlights his shamelessness and low moral standards.

However, so far, only Chao Bafang knows that Yang Shan is treacherous and ruthless.

Then, Chao Bafang now keeps Lime Powder and Boiling Itch Powder in his Storage Ring. As for Yang Shan, who is known as the "sixth oldest in the world", after confirming that the Mottled Scorpion Beast was poisoned, he still quietly lay in place without making a move.

Even the Insect Race monsters are sufficiently vigilant.

Especially when you're not in a good state.

The Mottled Scorpion Beast mistakenly believed it had "food poisoning" rather than being poisoned by someone.

Yang Shan knew the Mottled Scorpion Beast very well.

As the Thousand Beast King, it certainly couldn't just obediently wait for the toxins to dissipate on their own.

As expected, the Mottled Scorpion Beast rolled around on the spot for a while before forcibly standing up.

The scorpion's tail, longer than its body, lashed out fiercely.

With a ripping sound, it pierced its back!

The venom of the Mottled Scorpion Beast is mainly concentrated in its tail. Even its Bloodline Secret Skill involves setting fire through the gaps in its hard armor, and then melting the venom with its tail.

This self-harming tactic is the Mottled Scorpion Beast's own way of detoxifying.

It's the same approach of fighting poison with poison.

After all, the venom of the Mottled Scorpion Beast is more potent than the three types of venom that Yang Shan used.

But Yang Shan was also waiting for this opportunity.

The hard armor of the Mottled Scorpion Beast is no joke.

Even with the Thunder Guiding Blade, it would be extremely difficult to cut through it.

Even if you follow the steps and chop away one by one within five minutes, you might not be able to finish it.

After all, even if the Mottled Scorpion Beast is poisoned, its combat power is still extremely strong and its speed is fast. Even after taking the Wind Walk Pill, Yang Shan cannot guarantee that he can maintain a high attack frequency.

As its description suggests, the Mottled Scorpion Beast is a ruthless killer.

He's ruthless to himself! [Taking the Wind Walk Pill increases speed by 30 points for 3 minutes.]

[Consuming the Strength Enhancing Pill increases attack power by 40 points for 3 minutes.]

Yang Shan had used the more powerful Berserk Blood Pill before, but it could only be bought from Ya Fei. However, due to its side effects, Yang Shan did not purchase it this time.

After taking two pills, Yang Shan's attack power had exceeded 300 points, and his speed had exceeded 150 points.

Even so, Yang Shan is currently unable to inflict significant damage on the Mottled Scorpion Beast using only normal attacks.

This is enough to show that the Tier 3 Thousand Beast King is indeed not an object that players can normally conquer at present.

Thunder Guiding Blade.

Thunder Spirit Flash! Thunder Arc Three-Stage Slash! -522. -72. -580. -55. -602. -68.

The three-stage slash, interspersed with three basic attacks, still dealt less than two thousand damage even with the Thunder Spirit Flash buff.

Yang Shan was still aiming at the hard shell that the Mottled Scorpion Beast had pierced itself.

Six attacks caused numerous cracks to appear around the holes pierced in the hard shell.

It's clear that more attacks are needed to break through it.

Once the attack was triggered, the Mottled Scorpion Beast reacted and swung its two giant pincers at Yang Shan.

Yang Shan dodged to the side and then Thunder Cleaving Slash. -312.

The scorpion's tail whipped out with a whooshing sound, but Yang Shan seemed to have anticipated this. He used his Thunder Guiding Blade to momentarily block the scorpion's tail, changed position again, and unleashed another normal attack. -61.

The speed of the Mottled Scorpion Beast is already very high at 105.

Aside from the Wind Attribute, even if Da Dou Shi of other attributes reaches five or six stars, it is very difficult to reach this value.

However, the scorpion tail attack of the Mottled Scorpion Beast is even faster, reaching almost 160 points! Unfortunately, Yang Shan is very familiar with the attack pattern of the Mottled Scorpion Beast, so he can predict the attack route of the scorpion tail in advance and thus make a response.

The experience and skills accumulated over fifteen years of gaming are something that other players at this stage can never catch up with.

It was precisely because Yang Shan had planned this "hunt" so well that the death of the Mottled Scorpion Beast was already inevitable! Yang Shan needed to conserve his Dou Qi and began to use ordinary attacks to wear down the already cracked hard shell on the Mottled Scorpion Beast's back.

After delivering the first strike, immediately dodge, absolutely not giving the Mottled Scorpion Beast a chance to hit you!

This cycle repeated itself fifteen times.

The hard shell on the back of the Mottled Scorpion Beast finally cracked completely.

At this moment, Yang Shan's prepared Dou Technique suddenly erupted!

As usual, it's Thunder Spirit Flash by Thunder Arc Three-Stage Slash. -1150. -180. -1289. -224. -1935. -307.

Weak Point Attack are triggered repeatedly.

The extremely high frequency of double and triple damage caused the Mottled Scorpion Beast's health to drop rapidly at a visible rate.

The Mottled Scorpion Beast had considered retaliating.

In fact, after each of Yang Shan's attacks, the Mottled Scorpion Beast could quickly recover and launch another attack.

However, the attack patterns of Insect Race Warcraft are mostly quite simple.

Like the Mottled Scorpion Beast, its body is covered in hard armor, which provides excellent defense, but the armor also restricts its movements.

With its Bloodline Secret Skill ineffective, the only weapons the Mottled Scorpion Beast can use are its giant pincers and scorpion tail, only their values are too high.

As long as Yang Shan doesn't let his guard down, the Mottled Scorpion Beast won't be able to threaten him with such a small trick! Judging from the current progress, the Mottled Scorpion Beast should be like an old man with bad kidneys.

He couldn't survive the last three minutes of the poisoning! At the same time, at the respawn point in Wutan City, a player in black robes carrying Giant Ruler ruler attracted the attention of other players.

Xiao Aotian, the number one expert in Wutan City, is actually dead! I haven't heard of any guild in Wutan City having any deep-seated grudge against Xiao Aotian!

Unless Yang One-Blade himself arrives, who else has the ability to kill this Tier 3 Beast Flame wielder? Of course, many players guessed correctly that Xiao Aotian died at the hands of a magical beast! "Seven hundred attack, three hundred defense, even Dou Ling might not be this outrageous!"

Xiao Aotian was extremely frustrated. "We can't beat them, we simply can't. Even a top guild with three or four hundred members has absolutely no chance of defeating a Tier 3 Thousand Beast King at this stage. We need to improve our strength as soon as possible to secure this first kill."

[Ding! Global Announcement: Congratulations to player "Yang Shan" for achieving the first kill of the Tier 3 Thousand Beast King! Rewards: +4 Free Spiritual Root, +8 Meridians, +3 Comprehension, +3 Good Fortune!]

"Depend on!"

Xiao Aotian's face flushed red on the spot. He swung the Giant Ruler hard, smashing the stone sculpture next to him to pieces.

The NPC not far away immediately shouted:

"Hey you! Damaging public property, you'll have to pay double the compensation!"
