Chapter 135: Encounter
The desert is not only harsh on humans, but also on all kinds of creatures living in it.
The most surviving creature near the ruins of the ancient city is the Scorpion-tailed Dragon, whose ancestors were carnivores, and the area was not as desolate as it is now, it can be said that it is surrounded by green forests, the rivers are clear, and the aborigines live here comfortably and comfortably, and the Scorpion-tailed Dragons are never short of food. It was only over time that the flow of the river began to mysteriously decrease, eventually drying up completely, and this oasis of life quickly desertified into an endless Gobi desert. The harsh living environment has led to a rapid decline in the number of organisms in the area, both animals and vegetation rooted in the land, which have slowly lost their traces.
Life is short and fragile, but it is also strong, at least in order to survive in this terrible area, the Scorpion-tailed Earth Dragon race had to change its biological habits, from pure carnivores to omnivores, staple food plants, occasional insects, barely continued the race, became the overlord of this area. Of course, this appellation must be for the exclusion of human beings.
Right now, the Scorpion-tailed Earth Dragon, which is approaching Ye Nuan, is using their most common predation method, searching, in search of food to support their normal body functions.
The scorpion-tailed dragon looked like it was covered in shiny scales from afar, and the closer it got, the more you could hear a rustling sound caused by its scales rubbing against the sand. Its body is short and stocky, about 60 centimeters long, with unsightly wrinkles in its skin and a dark yellow color. It is very close to the color of the ground, and although the limbs are very short, it moves very fast. In the blink of an eye, it came to a place less than ten meters away from Ye Nuan.
At this moment, the Scorpion-tailed Earth Dragon suddenly paused, and raised its head in the air vigilantly, as if feeling something.
Because of the deterioration of the eardrum, it cannot perceive sound waves in the air, but it can capture sound waves from the ground.
Ye Nuan lay motionless on the ground. The smell on his body was masked by the special medicine prepared in advance, and the scorpion-tailed earth dragon did not notice that something was wrong, on the contrary. Tempted by the strange scent of plants wafting through the air, it finally headed for its goal.
As it walked, it made a loud sound from its mouth. It can still be heard from a few meters away. As a matter of fact. It is not a group that is unable to speak, and their cries are not a sign of mate hunting, but rather a warning or a signal of possession, transmitting their possession/desire to the creatures around them. There is a strong feeling that this fishpond is contracted by me, and if other creatures can't stand it, they will fight with it to decide the winner to ensure that this area belongs.
The scorpion-tailed dragon's chirping was not answered, and it was clear that there were no other active creatures in the land. Nor is it of its kind. In other words, it can monopolize the delicious taste it finds.
Received this message. The Scorpiontail Earth Dragon was in a good mood, moving its body at lightning speed, and spun straight towards its target.
Just when it was only one step away from Ye Nuan, Ye Nuan moved.
I saw that her eyes were sharp, and the hand that was originally buried under the sand quickly moved out, and slammed towards the scorpion-tailed earth dragon.
At the moment when the yellow sand was rolling, a burst of cold light swept in front of the Scorpion-tailed Earth Dragon, and it didn't have time to dodge and struggle, it felt a sharp pain coming, and in the next second, it was already in a different place, and the blood splashed down several meters. The round eyes turned, even with some confusion and puzzlement, obviously not feeling the danger, what hurt it? But before it could find the real culprit who had hurt it, its eyes had lost their usual luster. It is not a nine-tailed fox, although it can survive with a broken tail, it cannot resurrect itself.
Seeing this, Ye Nuan stood up from the sand neatly, quickly walked to the body of the scorpion-tailed earth dragon on the ground, picked it up, blew off the sand and dust on its body, and then put it into the pocket equipped by the program team.
The meat of the Scorpion-tailed Earth Dragon can be eaten, and the blood is not useless, and if the water source is not found in time, people living in the wild can drink its blood to quench their thirst and not waste it.
If you want to ask Ye Nuan why she used this way to capture the Scorpion-tailed Earth Dragon, it is very simple, although the Scorpion-tailed Earth Dragon looks inconspicuous, its biting teeth are extremely strong, and although it is not fatal to be bitten, it may also make you cut off your limbs if it is serious.
As for the severed head of the Scorpion-tailed Earth Dragon, Ye Nuan did not abandon it, and found a bag to pack it up. Food is scarce in the desert, and the head of the Scorpion-tailed Earth Dragon can be used as bait to lure other predators.
Hibernation, waiting, attacking, harvesting, Ye Nuan's series of predatory actions didn't take much time, and the task was successfully completed, and there was no embarrassment at all, which even surprised the staff who had been monitoring behind the camera.
Looking at Ye Nuan's return to the ancient city, the executive director said with emotion to the person in charge next to him, "Don't say it, Ye Nuan's survival ability in the wild is quite strong, if it were me, I guess I wouldn't have had this luck, and it would be impossible to find food so quickly." ”
The person in charge raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Ye Nuan's eyes with deep meaning.
He is also surnamed Song, he is Song Jia's cousin, and he is also one of the rare insiders of the last Gujing vision, and his attitude towards Ye Nuan is naturally not ordinary, otherwise it is impossible to pass the end of other people, and he has come to see Ye Nuan's performance. Ye Nuan's background is mysterious, and he seems to have some magical abilities, such as foresight, but these other people don't know, but from the person in charge's unusual attention to Ye Nuan, guess whether he has the intention of holding Ye Nuan. The people who can enter the Imperial Capital Satellite TV are not simple people, and sometimes they think more far-reaching, seeing each other like this, their eyes looking at Ye Nuan also changed.
"Don't worry so early, the ingredients are found, and the following is the key." The middle-aged man surnamed Song said.
The executive director was still indulged in Ye Nuan's sassy and heroic posture just now, and when he heard the words of the general manager, he nodded unconsciously, "Also, it is estimated that few young people can cook these years, at most they can roast the meat of the scorpion-tailed earth dragon." As for the condiments we provide, it is estimated that they will not be used at all. Hehe, last time I ate the scorpion-tailed dragon meat roasted by the people in the program team, tsk. It doesn't taste very good, it's really a pity for our little leaves. ”
Turning his head, he looked at the man next to him. With a disgusted expression, he said, "I said Lao Song, what you are doing is not authentic, the little girl is not yet an adult, you dare to put her alone in the ruins of the ancient city, don't be frightened at night, illness is still a trivial matter." It's not good to leave a psychological shadow, and then we will have violated the Imperial Law on the Protection of Minors. ”
"Or else? Do you think it's safe to leave her in the desert? Quicksand, storms, and water scarcity, isn't that place more testing for people? The ruins of the ancient city are a little scary. But at least there were living creatures around, much better than the rocky area where the others went, where there was no grass and nothing growing. You have to run a long way to find food. ”
This deserted ancient city is the site of the strange disappearance of the Quran people. It's full of mystery and supernatural feelings, but at least it's much safer as a place where humans once lived. If it weren't for Ye Nuan's youngest, she wouldn't be in it. After all, the other guests are much more miserable than her, and they don't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and they are still looking for a place to live.
"What about the others? Is the situation okay now? ”
After learning about Ye Nuan's situation, after thinking about it, the man surnamed Song asked.
Hear the words. The executive director switched the camera under the surveillance monitor, and the picture changed in an instant. The other six resident guests were presented.
Song Jia is okay, don't look at his slightly chubby body, but his observation is extremely keen, and his physical strength is also very strong, he walked in the desert for a day, avoided potential dangers, and finally found a temporary cave under a huge rock. After laying out the protection around him, he went straight to sleep. As for food and water, forget it, it's his strength to find a place to live, this place is dangerous in the middle of the night, it's not that he can deal with it, it's better to rest and wait for tomorrow.
Su Xiang, as the only woman among the guests, was also treated well, living in an aboriginal house in the rocky area. The vitality here is much stronger than that of the ruins of the ancient city, and although people abandoned it for personal development and entered the city early, there are still some food and daily necessities left behind by the original residents of the village. Although the food is not very precious, it is a kind of fruit unique to the region, and it does not taste good when dried, but at least it can be satisfying. Walking around the village, Su Xiang was lucky to find some sun-dried fruits, took a few bites, and found that it was really difficult to swallow, and the water source was not found, so she could only frown, simply cleaned herself up, and lay down staring at the hazy moonlight outside the window.
Others more or less found something to eat, the plants in the desert, but the taste is the same as chewing wax, far less than the good luck of leaf warmth.
Especially Lan Huaisheng, who was the most embarrassed of the six, was chased by a group of reptiles as soon as he arrived at the place where he was banished. Don't look at people who are only half the size of a palm, but a dense piece of it is rushing towards you, the taste is so simple, if a person with dense phobia sees it, it is estimated that he will faint. And the saliva secreted from the mouth of that thing is still poisonous, and if you take a bite, it will definitely make your skin soft and soft, and being surrounded by a large group is no joke. Although there are professional ambulance personnel waiting around, which can ensure that Lan Huaisheng has no worries about his life, this also means that as long as his life is not in danger, no one will go down to save him, and he has to endure hardships and injuries.
"Ma Dan, how did this thing come about? I'm so unlucky, director, are you kidding me? ”
The reality show is really a stage to show the true temperament of the characters, when Lan Huaisheng is quiet, it falls in the eyes of others, it is the talented melancholy prince, and only then does everyone know that the prince may fall into the mortal world if he is in a hurry.
Of course, anyone who is chased by a group of ugly reptiles for hours as soon as they open their eyes will not be in a good mood. Especially now that he's lost, he's physically and mentally exhausted.
Finally got rid of that group of monsters, Lan Huaisheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second he was stunned.
As far as the eye can see, there is no difference in every direction, and after turning around, he has forgotten where he came from.
Rubbing the corners of his eyebrows with a headache, Lan Huaisheng felt that his temples were twitching, and he couldn't remember the identification method he had learned in the wilderness survival class before. Gasping for breath, he wiped the hot sweat from his face, and finally chose a direction with his eyes closed, and simply walked to death in the face of the scorching sun.
Probably because of his bad luck before, from day to evening, Lan Huaisheng finally saw the outline of an ancient city in the dim light.
His eyes lit up instantly.
Today's experience made him completely understand that the program team was cruel to them, and they would have to suffer in the next seven days, so they gave up on themselves. It's just that he never thought that his character really exploded, and he walked from the desert to the ruins of the ancient city, and at that moment, he felt that he had simply entered heaven.
"Hey, it's so fragrant......"
Don't look at the ancient city, it was not far in front of him, and when Lan Huaisheng really walked into the ancient city, it took almost half an hour, and he was completely exhausted.
At night, the ancient city was terrifying, the full moon, the sound of the wind, and the indescribable strange screams fell into people's ears and penetrated people. Lan Huaisheng took a flashlight to illuminate the way forward, but still rubbed his shoulders unconsciously, trying to drive away the panic in his heart. Soon, however, his fear of the unknown was dispelled by the smell of flesh that permeated the air.
His family conditions were not bad, and the nutrients commonly used by the people of the empire had long been replaced by vegetables, fruits, and meats on the table. "Hey, it's so fragrant......"
