The word "thank you" was bitten very hard by the scorpion beastman, as if it were a poisonous letter, which made people shudder.

Rosie's stomach churned, but she fought to hold it in. She stared at the scorpion beastman, her body tense, searching for a glimmer of hope.

This scorpion beastman actually ate his own brother's crystal core!

Rosie couldn't believe her ears. This could no longer be described as "cruel", this was simply... perverted!

"Little female, what are you afraid of?" The scorpion beastman seemed to enjoy Rosie's frightened expression. He grinned and approached step by step, "I'm here to 'repay' you."

He paused deliberately, admiring the instant paleness of Luo Xi's face, and then slowly added: "Without you, how could I have eaten his crystal core and successfully advanced?"

He licked his lips, his eyes flashing with madness, like a hungry beast staring at its prey.

"You...you are simply..." Luo Xi was so angry that she was shaking all over. She wanted to scold him, but found that she was at a loss for words.

In the face of such an inhuman guy, any words seem pale and powerless.

"What am I?" The scorpion beastman tilted his head, seeming to be very interested in Rosie's reaction. "I'm just so lucky, right?"

He pounced on Rosie like a hunting cheetah, swift and ferocious.

Rosie was prepared. She dodged to the side and avoided the scorpion beastman's attack.

"Want to run?" The scorpion beastman sneered, and the scorpion tail behind him attacked Rosie like a poisonous snake.

Rosie instinctively grabbed whatever she could get her hands on and threw it at the scorpion beastman. She didn't even have time to see what she was throwing, just hoping that this would stop the scorpion beastman for a moment.

Unexpectedly, what she flung out was the white hyacinth powder that Yu had carefully ground for her. The white powder drifted through the air, precisely coating the scorpion beastman's face.

"Cough cough... Damn it!" The scorpion beastman was caught off guard and was choked and coughed continuously. His eyes were irritated by the powder and he couldn't open them.

Luo Xi seized this rare opportunity and turned to run. She didn't dare look back, just ran forward desperately. The whistling sound of the wind in her ears was like the roar of a wild animal, urging her to go faster and faster.

"Little female, do you think you can get away?" The scorpion orc wiped his face and said in a hoarse voice with a hint of teasing, "Don't run away. Be good and let me catch you. I will love you well."

He didn't chase after her immediately, but instead followed her slowly, like a cat playing with a mouse. He enjoyed Rosie's panic, which made him feel excited, even...pleasant.

Luo Xi fled in panic, and the direction she subconsciously ran to was the river where she and Yu had fished before.

She remembered reading somewhere that scorpions are afraid of water. Her only hope now was to escape to the river, perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope.

It is the rainy season now and it is drizzling outside. The rain is not heavy, but it makes the ground a little slippery.

Rosie stumbled as she ran.

As the river bank got closer, a glimmer of hope began to ignite in her heart.

However, just as she was about to rush into the river, the scorpion beastman caught up with her and instantly appeared in front of Rosie, blocking her way.

"Want to run?" The scorpion beastman laughed fiercely, his voice hoarse, like sandpaper rubbing against rock. His scorpion tail rose high behind him, like a venomous snake ready to strike. The sharp stinger gleamed coldly in the sunlight, making people shudder. "It won't be that easy!"

Rosie's heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat. She tried to calm herself down, but her body was shaking slightly.

"You think I'm afraid of water?" The scorpion beastman seemed to see through Luo Xi's thoughts. He smiled contemptuously, his eyes full of teasing. "Didn't your partner tell you? After reaching the fifth level, scorpion beasts are no longer afraid of water."

Luo Xi's face turned pale in an instant. Her last hope was shattered.

"But..." The scorpion beastman suddenly changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of amusement, "You remind me that the water... seems to be more exciting."

He suddenly reached out, grabbed Rosie's wrist, and pulled her into his arms. His strength was so great that Rosie felt like her bones were about to be crushed.

"Let me go!" Rosie struggled desperately, but her strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of the scorpion beastman, and it was useless.

The scorpion beastman hugged Luo Xi tightly, and his hot breath sprayed on her ears, with a hint of teasing: "Don't be impatient, little female, I will make you...extremely happy."

Luo Xi felt a chill, like a prey caught by a venomous snake, her whole body cold. Her stomach churned and she almost vomited.

"Get away! You pervert!" Rosie used all her strength to push the scorpion beastman away, but her attack was like a tickle to the scorpion beastman.

The scorpion beastman didn't care at all. Instead, he laughed even more happily. His smile was hideous and twisted, like that of a demon.

"Pervert? I like this name." The scorpion beastman said and pounced on Rosie again.

At this critical moment, a tall figure, like lightning, cut through the rain curtain, and came with a sharp sound of wind, blocking Luo Qian's way.

"boom!"

The dull sound of impact echoed along the empty riverbank.

The scorpion beastman's huge body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit the ground heavily, stirring up a pool of mud and water.

Luo Xi was still in shock, her body trembling slightly. She slowly raised her head and saw a tall figure standing in front of her.

It's a falcon.

He was still dressed the same way, with his upper body naked and a fur skirt around his waist.

But at this moment, that handsome and angular face was full of impatience.

He didn't even look at Rosie, but just stared coldly at the scorpion beastman lying on the ground.

"You...how dare you ruin my good thing!" The scorpion beastman struggled to get up from the mud. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His already ferocious face was twisted with anger, like an enraged beast.

Rosie subconsciously moved closer to Falcon. She was actually afraid of him, too. After all, he exuded a sense of indifference. But compared to that disgusting scorpion beastman, Falcon, who had saved her twice, was clearly more trustworthy.

A faint fragrance drifted into Falcon's nose. It was the scent of a female, clean and sweet, like a flower blooming after rain, or like the clear spring water in the forest.

Falcon's Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously. He forced himself to look away and not look at Luo Xi.

What's this troublesome female doing so close to me?!

As expected, females are such creatures, timid and fragile, and will die if touched. When they encounter danger, they know to hide behind males for protection.

He curled his lips, turned slightly sideways, and stood in front of Luo Xi.

The scorpion beastman staggered to his feet. He stared at the falcon, his eyes filled with resentment and resentment: "You...you dare to interfere in my affairs!"

Falcon glanced at him coldly, not even bothering to speak. He simply raised his hand, and a ball of golden energy condensed in his palm, like a small sun, emitting a dazzling light.

That force was strong and violent, carrying the aura of destroying everything.

The scorpion beastman felt the power and his face turned pale. He knew that he was no match for this man.

He wanted to escape, but his body seemed to be nailed to the spot and he couldn't move.

"boom--"

The golden energy, like a bolt of lightning, struck the scorpion beastman's chest.

The scorpion orc didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground. His body twitched a few times and then he became motionless.

Rosie looked at the scorpion beastman lying on the ground, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes.

Although the scorpion beastman deserved his punishment, witnessing his death still made her feel uncomfortable.

Females are really troublesome. They are afraid of such a small thing.

Falcon complained again in his heart. He withdrew his hand and turned to look at Luo Xi.

Rosie felt a little frightened by his gaze, and she subconsciously took a step back, forgetting that the river bank was behind her.

"careful!"

Falcon was quick-witted and grabbed Rosie's wrist and pulled her back.

Luo Xi lost her balance and fell backwards. She screamed and subconsciously closed her eyes.

The expected pain did not come, and she crashed into a hard embrace...
