With the possessed warning, the second prince begins to take the beast serious even though it's just in the core formation realm and just like what the possessed said, the beast would often come out of the ground to attack the second prince and whenever it misses its attack, it would immediately go back to the ground to avoid getting attack.
The second prince continues playing the defensive part while the scorpion plays the offense, but it didn't take long before the second prince understood its attack pattern and was able to land a hit on the beast.
Following the four-second delay it would take the beast before it could strike, he was able to defeat the beast but not in one piece as he was left with some minor injury while depleting some of his energy.
Just like they used to say, the cultivation system of beasts are far different from those of humans, the higher the realm of a beast, the stronger its defense would be.
