Giant Scorpion

The giant Stinger thrust its stinger forth. It moved so fast Wu Jian almost missed it. He jumped back on pure instinct and the stinger slammed into the ground where he had been standing. Before he could even respond, the creature turned and spat acid at Huǒ Shuchang, who was able to avoid the attack by burning it with his flames.

Hou Jingshu raced forward while it was distracted, moving underneath it and attacking the magical beast’s joints. She thrust her spear, but it was blocked when the Stinger raised its leg, accepting the attack on its hard carapace. It then tried to impale her with its sharp legs. Hou Jingshu wove through its scuttling legs and backed off.

Just as the magical beast looked ready to attack her with its pincers, Wu Jian threw his sword. The weapon spun through the air. A spatial blade had formed along its glowing edge, and it severed one of the pincers before the magical beast could retract it.
