NOVEL WEB Chapter 287: Killing Fervor Peaks!
The massive body of the Black Giant Scorpion, spanning over a dozen meters, suddenly emitted a dense black glow.
This was the A+ grade Gathered-Energy Underworld Poison!
It was also the most powerful Talent of this Black Poisonous Scorpion!
Although the Black Poisonous Scorpion had shallow emotions, it did not mean that it had low intelligence!
At first, it thought it could rely on its own poisonous liquid and a surprise attack to heavily injure the massive White Wolf in one strike!
After all, when have venomous species ever relied on size to dominate?
As long as they wished, as soon as the venom truly penetrated the prey's body, what could larger preys do, no matter how much bigger they were?
Wouldn't they still helplessly die under the terrifying toxins?
But now, after a brief exchange, it had come to understand the terror of this majestic White Wolf!
This was the first time it had encountered a species with such a massive body that also possessed such extraordinary speed and reaction!
Therefore, the Black Giant Scorpion hardly hesitated, immediately activating its strongest Talent!
The Gathered-Energy Underworld Poison had not yet reached the S grade!
Because S grade Talents aren't found on every street corner!
Every S grade Talent requires not only exceptional comprehension and potential but also good luck and opportunities!
Not every species can have multiple S grade Talents at their side like Su Lin.
Even the Purple Lynx at the Extreme King Level only had one S tier Talent a while ago.
As for the Little Lone Wolf in the Wolf Pack, its evolution to S level of the Ferocious Wolf Talent also involved Su Lin administering several vials of Talent Serum.
So, the preciousness of S grade Talents goes without saying; for many Variant Species and New Species, A+ level is their most powerful Talent, and the strongest they can achieve at their current stage!
With the passage of time and gradual familiarity with the Talent, only then might they have the chance to evolve further!
Now, on the brink of life and death, the Black Giant Scorpion, driven by its combat instincts, suddenly unleashed its strongest Gathered-Energy Underworld Poison.
This was a very powerful Poison Talent, far stronger than the Poison Talent of the Polar Ice Worm King that Su Lin had encountered before.
This Talent not only significantly enhanced the toxicity of the Black Poisonous Scorpion but also incidentally bolstered its own Strength Attribute.
But even when the Black Poisonous Scorpion activated the Gathered-Energy Underworld Poison Talent, Su Lin's movement and attack speeds were beyond what the Black Poisonous Scorpion could contend with.
In the instant that the Black Poisonous Scorpion activated its Talent, Su Lin landed another heavy blow on the Scorpion Shell!
Crack!
The dark Protective Glow generated by the Origin Power shattered under Su Lin's powerful blow, and the robust Scorpion Shell, which could withstand the fiercest Technology Weapons, was also directly smashed by Su Lin!
Two strikes!
With just two simple strikes, without even using Origin Power, Su Lin had completely shattered the Scorpion Shell that the Black Poisonous Scorpion relied on, leaving its delicate flesh exposed.
In the presence of Gathered-Energy Underworld Poison, even the flesh had turned a pitch-black color like ink!
Endless black air rose and spread out from it.
Just this emanating black air could cause Variant Species at Level Twenty or below to fall dead in an instant!
But for Su Lin, this black air was entirely ineffective.
Not to mention his Immune to All Poisons Healing Talent, even without it, his powerful Strength Attribute alone was not something these toxins could overcome!
"Hiss!"
At this moment, amid the tremendous pain of its shattered Scorpion Shell, the Black Giant Scorpion commenced a fierce fight to the death with Su Lin!
It even started burning its Life Essence like the Purple Lynx did!
In an instant, the black Origin Power from all over its body convened once more, and that long tail with the lethal Poison Hook struck at Su Lin's vital areas.
During the confrontation, Su Lin's thoughts shifted and he also checked the Black Giant Scorpion's Numerical Attribute.

Chair Scorpions are generally the largest scorpions in the world, usually living in the eastern regions of Great Russia; it was unexpected to encounter one in the mountains of Southern Siberia.
But since it was encountered, Su Lin would unceremoniously claim it as his own.
This gigantic Black Poisonous Scorpion was a powerful New Species; its strength may have been weaker than the Invincible Fierce Tiger when Su Lin first encountered it two years ago, but not by much!
It was clear to see that the Southern Territory Mountains were indeed a Blessed Land!
Such a New Species, with at least twenty to thirty tons of weight, could provide Su Lin with Evolution Points and Pure Energy that were at least not less than what the Gold-patterned Travel Rat provided, perhaps even comparable to the Mad Thunder Skyhawk without Mystic Bones.
Therefore, after checking the Numerical Attributes of the Black Poisonous Scorpion, the killing intent in Su Lin's Wolf Eyes grew even stronger!
He had originally planned on using the Exotic Trees as the first source of Energy Value, but since this Black Poisonous Scorpion had delivered itself to its death without looking where it was going!
Then it had no one to blame but itself!
Boom!
Confronted with the attack from the Black Giant Scorpion, Su Lin simply tensed his limbs and leaped from his spot!
With one bound, he effortlessly jumped mid-air, dodging the Black Giant Scorpion's Long-tailed Poison Hook attack
Then, harnessing the momentum of his descent, he brutally slammed his Talon towards the Black Giant Scorpion's head!
Su Lin's Speed Value was three to four times higher than that of the Black Giant Scorpion!
So not only did Su Lin's speed in full sprint have to be three to four times faster than the Black Giant Scorpion, but even the attack speed was simply beyond what the Black Giant Scorpion could react to.
From leaping from the spot to striking upon landing, it was all done in the blink of an eye!
This claw from above, descending from mid-air, directly smashed the Black Giant Scorpion's not-so-large head into the thick and solid mountain ground!
As Su Lin landed with a boom, this heavy strike also caused the Black Giant Scorpion's head to form a mountain pit on the ground that was a good five or six meters across!
Dense cracks spread out from the center of the pit to the surrounding area!
This blow half-crushed the Black Giant Scorpion's head; had it been any other species, by now it would probably be on the verge of death if not already dead, incapable of any further resistance.
After all, the importance of the head to any species was self-evident.
The moment the head is shattered, even new species lose their souls on the spot!
But cold-blooded creatures don't!
Cold-blooded creatures not only naturally have the faintest of emotions, but even if any of their vital parts are shattered, they can still maintain formidable combat strength for a certain period!
Moreover, this strike had not completely crushed the Black Giant Scorpion's head!
Whoosh!
The Black Giant Scorpion's long-tailed poison hook once again attacked Su Lin at this moment!
"Still trying to resist?"
Su Lin looked at the nearly half-dead Black Giant Scorpion still struggling frantically.
The icy intent in his eyes also grew thicker!
The sharp Wolf Claw spikes also fully extended, with the nearly two-meter Claw Spike being much longer than the poison hook on the scorpion's tail!
In a boiling killing intent, Su Lin's Wolf Claw fiercely slashed at the thick tail!
Clang!
Once again, a loud clang of metal striking metal erupted!
It was piercing to the extreme, and the eardrums of some species that had not fled shattered at the sound, with blood seeping from their pupils!
Su Lin's Wolf Claw was sharper than the Black Scorpion's poison hook!
In the violent collision, the Wolf Claw directly cut off the scorpion's long tail, with dark blood splattering instantly, and the Black Scorpion struggled even more frantically!
At that moment, Su Lin's Claw Spike was once again firmly embedded in the flesh of the scorpion's tail, with all his strength he pulled the ten-meter-long Black Scorpion out of the pit and then flung it at a huge boulder!
Boom!
The huge boulder broke upon impact, with debris flying in all directions!
The already fractured Protective Glow of the Black Scorpion shattered once more like fireworks.
The Black Scorpion, who had already had its shell and half its head crushed, had its black brain matter, flesh, and internal parts splatter across the forest mid-air!
These splattering brain matter, flesh, and inner fragments all emitted a thick black glow, signifying not only that they contained pure energy but also the most lethal toxins!
Many splashed onto Su Lin, but under the passive operation of the Healing Talent, which made him immune to all poisons, they were quickly evaporated into billowing black smoke.
Against the backdrop of the surging dark aura, Su Lin, emanating a bone-chilling murderous intent, seemed like a demon god emerging from the darkness!
Having suffered such severe damage, this black giant scorpion, whose Origin Power had been forcefully shattered twice and both its carapace and skull had been broken,
even though it was a cold-blooded creature, and even though it wanted to struggle desperately, was unable to climb up and could only squirm on the ground like a lump of rotten flesh.
It couldn't even emit another cry.
The most lethal sting on its tail had been snapped off like a joke in the fierce collision with the White Wolf right in front of it!
This towering black poisonous scorpion, which had once roared proudly within the Southern Territory Mountains and never knew what fear or apprehension was, had now reached the end of its life.
Even with a Poisonous Blood Lotus Talent that could heal, it was now incapable of activating it.
Reduced to practically a lump of rotten flesh, it could only watch with its remaining vicious black eye as the White Wolf approached step by step, then its wolf claw fiercely smashed down on its other skull!
Crack!
As the sound of the skull shattering once more echoed, the consciousness of the black giant scorpion dissipated into the forest.
Even after slaying this black giant scorpion, the rising bone-chilling murderous intent in Su Lin's pair of pale blue wolf eyes did not abate but grew even more intense!
Because the vibrations from the battle with the black giant scorpion, as well as the smell of blood from its flesh and organs, and the scent of rich, pure energy had already spread throughout the continuous forest!
Su Lin believed that the rich scent of pure energy and the smell of blood were enough to lure numerous monstrous mutated creatures!
If it was to kill, then it must be a resounding kill!
In fact, Su Lin had never used his Origin Power; he was simply relying on the power and speed contained in his vast wolf body to hunt the black giant scorpion!
Because his visit to the Southern Territory Mountains was not just for this one battle.
Since he was here, then the killing should be earth-shattering, clearing all obstacles and threats for the future Wolf Pack to settle in the Southern Territory Mountains!
This black giant scorpion was merely an appetizer!
That's why Su Lin had been conserving his strength from the start!
Perhaps bloody slaughter seemed inhumane in the eyes of mankind, but in the cruel natural world, such things were never considered!
It was all about the survival of the fittest!
I eradicate you, what is that to you?
Moreover, with the arrival of the Dark Era, Su Lin believed that even humans, who prided themselves as the overlords of the Earth and a civilized society, would completely strip away all previous pretenses of morality!
Because keeping up false pretenses, in the genuinely bloodthirsty and frenzied Dark Era where myriad tribes were butchering each other, meant not surviving!
At that time, the struggle among tribes would be about who was more ruthless, more malicious, and more unscrupulous!
If defeated, one would become the lowest species on Earth, just like the pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep that are reared for food today.
If victorious, one would replace humanity as the new overlord of the Earth, heralding a brand new era!
Kill!
In the midst of such thoughts, the bone-chilling murderous intent emanating from Su Lin's vast wolf body grew even more intense!
