Alex got a little scared. He didn't think he could fight scorpions right now. His body was still suppressed quite a bit by the pressure and his sword was nearly useless.

Fighting any monster right now was difficult for him. Fighting 2 monsters at the same time were completely suicidal. There was only one thing that Alex could do right now, and he did exactly that. 

He ran. 

He ran away from the scorpions and maneuvered his direction towards the river. However, the pressure in the area was stopping him from showing off his best physical ability, and running in the sand wasn't exactly the easiest thing to do. 

As such, his overall speed at running was very weak. The scorpions didn't stand there either. The moment they saw Alex run, they followed him as well. 

They were used to the pressure and their exoskeleton was strong enough to handle it right now. And they didn't have a problem running in the sand as Alex did. 

So, even if they weren't exactly the fastest thing in the desert, they were fast enough to keep up with Alex. They were actually much faster than him and were going to catch up sooner than later. 

Alex put all of his hope right now on the fact that the pressure would lower once he ran further south and he wouldn't have to worry about his body functioning at a lower rate than usual. 

However, in his terrified state, he forgot to realize that the same thing applied to the scorpions as well. The further away they went, the faster they were becoming. 

And soon, one of them caught up to Alex. It brought forth its pincers to grab at his legs, but Alex jumped up and dodged it. However, because of that, he rolled forward and came to a stop. 

He had now stopped and both of the scorpions were upon him. 

"Sh*t, " he thought. He couldn't run away anymore, so he took his sword and got ready to fight. He had one weapon, fighting against their 6, he had to be very careful now. 

"That venom will be dangerous," he thought. He didn't want to die in a place like this, especially not from a scorpion sting. 

His eyes flickered side to side as he looked at both of the scorpions. Suddenly, the second scorpion moved forth and tried to snap at him with its pincers. 

Alex dodged the pincers and swung his sword at its overextended hands. The sword was nearly at the hand when the scorpion's tail came right at him. 

Alex had to stop his movement mid-attack and return the sword back to stop the stinger. He barely managed to change its direction so that it hit the ground and not him. 

He stopped breathing for a moment to let the venom's smell go away from the air. He immediately turned his sword around once more and swung at the overextended tail. 

It was a clean sweep, but he managed to cut only half of it. "Their body is too strong," he thought. He immediately ducked as a pincher grab went just past where his head previously was.

After that, Alex rolled to the side to dodge the tail. 

He had been keeping an eye on the second scorpion, and when it did, he managed to dodge it quite easily. He was about to go attack the overextended tails once more, but the other scorpion came running at him. 

It immediately jumped into the air, shocking Alex. When it landed, it was on top of Alex and was attacking him with its pincers. Alex jumped and rolled to the side, dodging the scorpion. 

Immediately, he ran back and attacked the scorpion's tail once more. This time, it came completely off. However, at the same time, the pincers came towards Alex's torso. 

Alex swiftly returned the sword back to the scorpion in a uniform motion and tried to attack its hands. 

However, Alex made a mistake. He didn't think before he attacked and instead hit the pincers instead of the arms. 

CRACK

A massive snap sounded out in the surroundings as Alex's sword snapped in two at the base. He didn't even manage to get a single scratch on the pincer and yet his sword was now in 2 half. There wasn't even half a sword attached at the handle he could use to fight with. 

"Sh*t," he cursed at the situation. He jumped back to dodge the next pincer that was next to him. But then, the other scorpion had made its way here too. 

So he dodged once more. They were relentless in their attacks and weren't giving him much room to fight with. He desperately wanted to use the escape technique he had learned, but without Qi it was useless. 

"I can't do this anymore. Running away is not the option," he thought. It was time to properly fight back. The scorpions were already attacking him. 

His Elusive Heavenly Sword's footwork was pretty good, but he couldn't use it as well in the sand. So, his dodging ability had also gone down.

So, he decided to care about the one with the tail more than the one without it. Their pincers were way slower compared to their tails so the tail was what he was worried about. 

The scorpions snapped at him once again and attacked him. Alex didn't dodge. Instead, he jumped over the skeleton and landed on it. It was the one without the tail so he had no worries. 

The scorpion wiggled its half tail around and tried to hit Alex, but it couldn't reach him. He started punching the back of the scorpion while constantly taunting the other one. 

The other scorpion came rushing at him and tried to snip at him. Alex easily dodged the pincers and continued attacking the scorpion he was on. It was trying to wiggle itself to throw Alex from its back but it couldn't. 

Alex was firmly grabbing onto its back with one hand while punching down with the second. The scorpion was now half dead.
