Episode 173 Dancing in the Moonlight
It is extremely stupid to come face to face with a centipede, which has 42 legs and only uses five or six pointed feet to support its body, like a hovering train, and is one of the fastest animals in the rainforest.
Running against a centipede is like comparing height with an elephant, and the outcome can be imagined.
So the gray scorpion stopped, hung the poisonous hook on its tail high, and spread its two pincer-like hands to bravely welcome himself and his child's impending fate:
To live or to die?
At this time, in the sky after the rain, the moon slowly drilled out of the gradually thinning clouds, so that the entire rainforest was covered with a faint silver glow, and also allowed Yu Qiyun and them to see the death game under the stones more clearly.
I have to admire that this is a resolute scorpion mother, who is only 9cm long, while her opponent is more than 30cm long, almost four times as long.
This visually presents a one-sided crush.
Let Li Enchanting secretly sweat, she doesn't have any good feelings for the two poisons centipede and scorpion, but in front of the strong, she always sympathizes with the weak.
The female scorpion breathed rapidly, and the little scorpions on her back were huddled together in horror, but none of them escaped from their mother's back, because the baby scorpion also instinctively knew that without their mother's shelter, they would never survive more than an hour in the night in the rainforest.
The female scorpion quickly judged the situation.
Her only chance of victory is the poison hook on her tail, which she often uses to defeat opponents much larger than her, with the exception of centipedes, which are the last rainforest animals she wants to run.
Because centipedes are also poisonous and highly poisonous.
In the gladiatorial arena of the rainforest, the size of the body often determines the success or failure of the duel under the same conditions of toxicity.
The moonlight like a net shines faintly.
Yu Qiyun Yue'an and they lay on the back of the butterfly and looked down, and couldn't help but gasp. This was a giant centipede with a shiny black body, but its hands and feet were as red as blood, and in front of Yu Qiyun and them, it was like a hideous giant beast.
……
A gust of wind passed.
To everyone's surprise, the scorpion took the lead in attacking! The brave wins when they meet on a narrow road! She takes the initiative to show her sword!
Sure enough, the centipede was caught off guard, and in his impression, the scorpion was always defensive-oriented in the face of his overwhelming form, and fought with his legs.
Therefore, the scorpion actually clamped the centipede's head at once, the centipede's whole body rolled in pain, and the scorpion's body also rolled with the centipede, although the child on his back flew to the ground, but the scorpion insisted that Qingshan did not relax, and the pliers were always firmly clamped and never let go!
She knew it was her only chance to win.
She saw the opportunity, understood the principle of opportunity to beat the water dog, and kept adjusting the angle, and was about to pierce the deadly needle of her tail hook into the centipede's tumbling body......
On the stone overhead, everyone and the ants watched their hearts beat faster, they knew that as long as this last stab, then the battle would be over quickly, and they hoped that the gray scorpion would win, because the scorpion was far less threatening to Yu Qiyun than the giant centipede.
And for Li Enchanting, she has another reason in her heart, because this scorpion is a respectable mother, and as a woman, she naturally has to cheer for the scorpion.
The poison hook draws a sharp arc!
At this critical moment, when I suddenly heard a "click", I was about to pierce the centipede's body at the distance of a claw, and I was bitten by the centipede's tail!
This stunned everyone's eyes!
This centipede actually has two heads?
Li Yourao opened her mouth in disbelief.
Yue An knew that this was impossible! wiped his glasses, looked at it carefully, and suddenly thought of something, and suddenly realized:
You see, this is his real head, and it was his tail that the scorpion had caught before. ”
Everyone looked at it together in the moonlight.
Sure enough, the head and tail of this centipede are almost identical, and for a while I really can't tell which side is the head and the other side is the tail?
Scorpions do not have good eyesight and can only perceive the shape and movement of their opponents through hair tufts, that is, auditory and tarsal hairs on their hands and feet.
So at night, she couldn't distinguish the head and tail of the centipede, the centipede was facing her behind her, and she took it for granted that this was the head of the centipede.
Rainforest has no regret medicine.
Just when she hurriedly used pliers to loosen the centipede's prosthetic head, and then went to clamp the centipede's real head, the nerves on the tail were in a violent pain, making her face pale in an instant!
She is an expert in the use of poison and knows that she is poisoned!
That's right, after the centipede bit her tail, it immediately injected the nerve poison from its fangs into the scorpion's body.
The female scorpion's whole body was suddenly sore, and she wanted to struggle to clamp the centipede's neck with her hand pliers, but no matter how hard she tried, her hands were weak and she couldn't pinch the enemy's neck at all.
"Run, Run, Run......"
She turned her face to look at her frightened children, and with her last breath, she struggled to say the last sentence.
"Escape, where to escape?"
The centipede grinned and let go of the female scorpion's tail.
He patted her head playfully with his tentacles, and then, under the watchful eyes of the mother scorpion, with his blood-like spiky feet, disemboweled, the trembling little scorpions, one by one, as if wearing a black tuxedo and 42 red dancing shoes, dancing a bloody waltz.
……
It's a moonlit dance of death.
The humans and ants on the stone were shocked, and Li Enchanting even turned her face away.
Several times before, she wanted to pick up the nunchuck and jump down to help this brave mother and a hundred poor children, but in the end she held back.
She remembered that the last time she went to the leaf-weaving ant camp, it was because she was unorganized and undisciplined that everyone was chased and killed by a toad, and Yu Qiyun and Ant Jasmine almost died for it.
This made her unforgettable and deeply remorseful.
At school, Li Enchanting has always been a person who does her own thing, after coming to the rainforest, she gradually accepted the sense of teamwork, and moved her whole body, and her unwise impulse may make the whole team face a catastrophe.
The moonlight became miserable.
A few minutes later, the centipede sucked the last drop of the female scorpion's flesh melted by the digestive enzymes secreted by his venom.
Contented, lying on the edge of the grass, motionless.
After a while, he suddenly curled his body into a disc and licked his 42 feet one by one with the saliva in his mouth, just like a human taking a shower in summer.
Looks like he's leaving.
This made the ants and humans on the stone secretly relieved, Butterfly Feng'er was still accumulating her explosive power, this stone was much safer than the branches, the view was wide, unobstructed, so that the enemy could not sneak attack, it was an ideal place to rest for a while.
But if this huge black centipede had climbed up, they would have to flee.
The centipede stretched its long lazy waist, licked the tentacles (antennae) on the top of its head again with its mouth, and faced the direction of the grass, ready to open the way.
Just listen to the roar of a tornado.
A strange snake with a brown body and a white head suddenly sprang out of the grass and bit the centipede's head into its mouth!
This time it's not the tail biting, it's the real head!
This sudden change.
Suffocate the humans and ants on the stone. (To be continued.) )
