CHAPTER 22- Dungeon tales (2)
It knelt with a thud
Jia's hand felt a bit wobbly
"Is that all,will it really do anything I ask?" Jia asked with evident excitement
"Yes,Yes" Damon replied casually
[Ding!Host has created first subordinate. Would you like to name it] The system asked
"No" She replied
"I really don't think I'll be able to get to floor 37" Jia said disappointedly
"Yeah ,me too" Damon replied
"Aren't you supposed to help me" Jia asked puzzled.
" I truly am. But remember,you are level 13. Those you're going to battle in floor 37 are in level 30 and above. There's a big difference girl"Damon explained
"Still, let's keep going" Jia said with determination
"Liu Huan has cleared floor 3" The mechanical voice announced
"Proceed to floor 4" It instructed
Jia took a deep breath
" Let's do this" Jia muttered
Her new subordinate followed her with a lifeless expression
"System,name it Fei" Jia said
[Done!] The system answered
"Why'd you name a pet monkey Fei?" Damon asked confused
"It's not a pet monkey " Jia said
Fei and the Buddha sword body defeated the minions on the fourth floor .
Fei died in the fight
"It is time" Jia said readying herself to fight the floor boss
It was a giant scorpion king
"Bloody crustaceans" Jia muttered with wide eyes
" Time for a good show" Damon said with a smirk
"Don't" Jia said with a glare
The scorpion king sighted her and began swinging it's tail to take her down
The scorpion king missed each hit as Jia dodged them
"Little girl,be careful" Damon warned
Jia frowned
The scorpion king had gotten frustrated
Jia ordered the sword body to slash the scorpion king but it had a very hard exoskeleton making the sword body's attempt futile
It began to duplicate into several copies of itself
Jia looked around in fear .
The scorpion king made nine duplicates of itself.
Each of the ten scorpion kings attacked Jia with full momentum
Jia attempted to conceal her aura and escape. But one of them blocked the exit
"Little girl,their weak spot is the mid point of their tail" Damon instructed
Jia stood in the middle of the ten of them
"Let's play" Jia said with a smirk
She brandished her saber while the scorpions attacked her
Jia played a game with them, hitting each of the tails as they came at her
"BANG!"
The saber colliding with the hard exoskeleton made a loud noises
Jia sliced one in half using the mid point of it's tail
8 scorpions disappeared. Leaving just one
The real scorpion king
"Well ,well It's just me and you here" Jia said with a demonic smile
The scorpion king subconsciously took a step back
It suddenly got the willpower from nowhere and started chasing after her with it's sharp pincers
It was pretty fast for a scorpion
Jia kept running around
"What am I supposed to do" She asked Damon
"Think "He replied lazily
"narcissist" Jia muttered under her breath
Jia sent an energy bolt to strike it but it was repelled with great force that destabilized Jia
Jia took a deep breath and shape shifted into a scorpion king
"Let the fight begin" Jia said while Damon was stunned speechless
The actual scorpion king was a territorial being
It was enraged that it's opponent looked exactly like it
It exuded a very strong killing intent as it charged towards her
The two of them locked pincers and each fought to gain the upper hand
Jia's tail landed an attack on it
"BANG!"
The two strong forces collided against each other .
The scorpion was catapulted miles away
It screeched in fury
Jia used her pincer to snap the mid point of it's tail
It screeched in pain
"You dumb thing" Jia said with mock pity
It still didn't die .It had an iron will though it's overall speed and power had been greatly reduced
"You're a cruel little girl" Damon commented
Jia rolled her eyes at his statement
As it kept charging at her,Jia kept smashing it till it lay there .Dead.
She extracted it's core and digested it
[Ding!Host has killed a level 20 scorpion king.
Host has acquired Scorpion poison gas] The system announced
[Ding! Host has levelled up] The system announced again
"Damon, thank you" Jia said with a smile
"Yeah yeah sure" Damon replied
"I'd really advise you to not continue your expendition into the higher floors of the dungeon. It's too dangerous" Damon said ,his expression turning grave
"Liu Huan has cleared floor 4"The mechanical voice announced
"Does adventurer Liu Huan wish to progress to floor 5" The mechanical voice asked
"I'm not an adventurer" Jia whined
" No" She answered the question
"Liu Huan will be transported out in 3,2,1" The mechanical voice said doing a countdown
A bright light shone making it almost impossible to see and Jia was back outside the Petrova dungeon
