Chapter 164: The Collective Fossil of the Scorpion
Feng Yu frowned, staring at the stone in front of him, and wondered in his heart, why did this stone suddenly appear? This is originally a gathering place for poisonous scorpions, and it is impossible to have so many stones. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xiao Zilan also felt a little strange, why were there so many more stones here, and she also noticed a faint vitality from this stone! But it's a stone! How can there be life!
Could it be ...... Xiao Zilan felt his scalp tingle at the thought of that possibility. How is it possible, if the stones here are all poisonous scorpions, then how did they become like this?
Xiao Zilan exchanged his thoughts with Feng Yu and the others, and then Qiu Ming exclaimed: "How is this possible!" How could these stones be those poisonous scorpions. As he spoke, he hurriedly jumped back a big step.
As he spoke, Ning Xianxue and Yun Qing, who were sitting on the ground, also hurriedly got up and stayed away from those stones.
"Although I don't have definite evidence, I can feel the life coming from inside this stone, and no matter what, they are still alive!"
"Alive!" Qiu Ming exclaimed, no matter how you look at this stone, it doesn't have the shape of a poisonous scorpion! However, he believed that Xiao Zilan would not be a person who spoke his mouth, so he also believed it. But when you think about the scene where all this bunch of stones turned into poisonous scorpions, oh my God, it's terrifying.
"So what do we do now?" Yun Qing asked.
Feng Yu was also silent, although I don't know why this poisonous scorpion turned into stone, but there is one thing, this stone is still "alive", which makes people have to worry, who knows when it will suddenly "live"!
Xiao Zilan thought to herself. I don't know what kind of conditions can bring these poisonous scorpions back to life. Now they're really in a dilemma! If you stay in this plain any longer. It was dark, then. Their situation is very insecure. However, if we move forward now, no one knows if the next moment will be the moment when this poisonous scorpion will recover. If the scorpions wake up halfway through, then they are in the midst of a swarm. It is conceivable what kind of predicament they will face at that time.
"Wait." Feng Yu spoke.
"Wait?" Qiu Ming asked rhetorically. He looked around and said, "We're going to have to wait!" It was getting dark. ”
"In that case, there is no way, rather than waking up these poisonous scorpions halfway through, it is better to wait here. Facing a group of poisonous scorpions, and being surrounded by a group of poisonous scorpions, obviously, the former may have a higher chance of surviving. Feng Yu said.
Qiu Ming has nothing to answer now. Thinking about a poisonous scorpion is hard enough to entangle. The next thing to face is a bunch. But think about it another way, if you go halfway, all the stones will revert to scorpions, that scene. Qiu Ming's scalp began to tingle at the thought of it.
"Maybe we can find a way to make these poisonous scorpions wake up slowly without having to wait." Xiao Zilan said.
"What kind of approach is there. To be able to wake them up? Yun Qing asked.
"I've just looked carefully at the structure of this stone, and the life inside the stone is getting stronger and stronger. This shows that they are all slowly recovering, and the stone where Qiu Ming sat just now. Vitality regenerates significantly faster than other stones. And the vitality in the few stones near where Xian Xue and Yun Qing were sitting was also faster than the others, but much slower than the one Qiu Ming was sitting on just now. Xiao Zilan concluded, "It can be seen that as long as there is popularity, this vitality will recover faster." It's just that how to get them to wake up completely is a puzzling question. ”
"So, as long as there is enough popularity, or aura, then this stone can 'wake up'?" Feng Yu asked.
"Theoretically, you can say that. But one more thing to note is that the number of stones is so large that we may be surrounded by scorpions before we can get rid of them all! Xiao Zilan said, "Actually, the best way is to suppress the vitality in their bodies, slow down the time for them to wake up, and buy us enough time to pass through this stone forest." ”
"So, the most important question now is, is there no way to suppress the vitality in their bodies?" Feng Yu asked again.
"That's right, it's not something that can be suppressed by saying that it can be suppressed. Every individual has vitality in his body, if he can suppress a person's vitality, it is equivalent to cutting off the source of his spiritual power, if he can really do this, then this person can really be regarded as invincible in the world! After all, he can cut off whoever he wants to cut off his life, and I think that only Hades has this means. ”
Then Xiao Zilan continued: "Therefore, we must think about it now, what should we do to allow us to leave here unharmed, the longer we wait, I am afraid it will not be safe." ”
"That's what you said." Feng Yu said.
Everyone began to wonder how they could cross the plain without alarming these poisonous scorpions.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Xiao Zilan and the others had not yet come up with any countermeasures. If this continues, the situation will become more and more unfavorable for them!
"No, we can't wait any longer, even if we take a risk, it's better than waiting here for these scorpions to wake up!" Xiao Zilan said, "Although this method cannot be said to be foolproof, it must be tried." ”
Everyone looked over and wanted to hear what Xiao Zilan thought.
"Obviously, there is no way for us to completely isolate the aura from these stones, if we wait here, when it is completely dark, I think this group of poisonous scorpions will completely wake up; However, if we don't have any preparation and go on like this, we will be blocked halfway through. The main thing now is to control the aura around one's body, neither to operate nor to leak out. ”
"In that case, isn't there something going on, and we can't react? Isn't this more disadvantageous to us," Ning Xianxue asked.
"You're right, so there's one more thing we need to do after we've shut up our spiritual sense." Xiao Zilan said.
"What's the matter?"
"I have also learned about this poisonous scorpion, and the reason why the toxins in its body are so strong is probably caused by this environment. I just read this stone, and I remembered that I had read about this poisonous scorpion fossil in a book. The venomous scorpion's toxicity further increases after each fossil. ”
"And how often do they fossilize?"
"About once every three years. Since the fossilization process is still very dangerous, at this time, their lives are very fragile, and they will die if they are not careful. Therefore, a social animal like a poisonous scorpion will generally choose a safe place to carry out fossils when it is fossilized, and there will be special scorpions to guard it, so how can they run to the ground and live in groups of fossils? ”
However, everyone's focus was obviously not at the same point as Xiao Zilan, and after listening to what she said, Ning Xianxue interjected and asked: "Are you saying that when the poisonous scorpion is fossilized, its life is very fragile, and it is easy to die as long as there is a slight carelessness, right?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Zilan nodded.
Ning Xianxue slapped her palms, as if she had found an excellent idea, and said, "Since their lives are so fragile at this time, a little external force can destroy them." Then can't we take advantage of this time to kill all these poisonous scorpions? In that way, we are safe? ”
"Theoretically, yes. However, if we were to do it one by one, it would take too long, and they might have surrounded us all before we could get rid of them all. One more thing, if we want to deal with them, we can't do it without exerting physical strength for a long time, and even if we can get rid of most of the poisonous scorpions by then, we don't have the energy to escape anymore! ”
"Then we can use spirit runes, use spells, wouldn't that be much faster?"
"Nope." This is Feng Yu's rebuttal, "Whether it is a spirit rune or a spell, there are too many spiritual qi gathered, so if you gather so much spiritual energy in a short period of time, those poisonous scorpions will break out of the stone!" ”
"So what are we going to do?"
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet. Although it is not clear why these poisonous scorpions run to the ground, when they come to the ground, the environment here is even more unfavorable for their fossils. Originally, the environment of this fossil still has certain conditions, and the requirements for temperature are not low. But now it seems that there may be some variation in this. so that they can continue to fossilize in this harsh environment. Now we may have to find out this mutation before we can get out of this place. Xiao Zilan said.
"You mean we're going to find the thing here that mutates them?" Ning Xianxue was taken aback, "Such a big plain, how can we find it!" Perhaps, before we can find the mutation, these poisonous scorpions will have been fossilized, and we will be the unlucky ones then! ”
"No, I think I should know where we need to find this 'variable.'" The wind means something.
"You mean......" Qiu Ming seemed to understand something.
"That's right, it's where you want to be." Feng Yu continued. And Ning Xianxue and Yunqing, who were standing on the side, were still confused.
After a long while, Yun Qing reacted: "Is it difficult...... Could it be ...... Could it be that you want to go to the lair of these poisonous scorpions! (To be continued.) )
