Air Battle:
In this episode, Xiao Zhi and his party got lost in the forest, Xiao Zhi sent the Scorpion King to explore the way, the Scorpion King then came to a canyon, Xiao Zhi and his party followed and found a giant pincer mantis fighting a wind chime, the giant pincer mantis achieved an overwhelming victory, and then Xiao Zhi and his party learned that it was the air battle master Hikari and granddaughter Mayu who were doing training, this canyon is suitable for air combat because it is often blown by strong winds, but interestingly, Although the giant pincer mantis has wings, it has neither a flight system nor floating characteristics, and it is not possible to appear in the air battle of the sixth generation game.
Scorpion King VS Giant Pincer Mantis (1st time):
At Xiao Zhi's request, Guangzang agreed to do aerial battles with Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi sent out naturally the Scorpion King, and Xiao Zhi was not familiar with air battles, and could not respond in time in the face of sudden wind direction (in other words, you are not the winner of the two air rings), the giant pincer mantis repeatedly used the strong wind to avoid the attack of the Scorpion King, Xiao Zhi also misjudged when the strong wind made the Scorpion King use the sand splash to cause the sand to be blown away by the strong wind and failed to use, In the end, the giant pincer mantis used to destroy the light and then used the strong wind to avoid the shortcomings of the hard straight after using this move, and then used the last blow against the Scorpion King to defeat the Scorpion King.
Scorpion King VS Giant Pincer Mantis (second time):
Xiao Zhi and the Scorpion King were not reconciled to this, after training with Xiao Guang at night, Xiao Zhi proposed a battle against Hikari qingqi the next day, this time Xiao Zhi had learned to observe the movement of the wind, and in the process of circling with the giant pincer mantis, he used the scorpion king's advantages in flying with the wind, and this time successfully interfered with the giant pincer mantis with sand splashing, and also hit it twice with flame teeth (the giant pincer mantis with four times the weak fire did not fall down, which was simply outrageous), and then the Scorpion King also learned the ultimate impact in the process. And after using this move, he will also fly with the wind to avoid the next hard straight, but even so, the Scorpion King is still defeated by the giant pincer mantis.
Although he was defeated twice by the giant pincer mantis, Mitsuzo saw the scorpio king's plasticity, so the scorpion king temporarily stayed by Hikari's side for special training in aerial combat, just like Xiao Zhi once sent a fire-breathing dragon.
