Back in the village, when Professor Wen and the others saw the dead scorpion, their eyes immediately widened, and they looked at it several times.

"This scorpion was found in the cave?" Professor Wen immediately asked.

The wounded man suddenly became a little nervous, he had just heard that it was a protected animal, and if he had known about it, he would not have shot it to death, or would not have brought it out, causing himself to be physically and mentally injured.

"Well, I didn't know it was a protected animal at first." The tourist who was stung by the scorpion said in disbelief.

Chu Jiaqiang suddenly smiled and patted the man's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, it's okay!" A scorpion does not constitute a crime. ”

"How many more of these scorpions have you seen in there?" Professor Wen asked again.

The man shook his head: "This scorpion stung me, that's why I found out." I saw one like this nearby. There is also no guarantee that there will be none, or how many there will be. ”

Fu Shenglin turned the dead scorpion over again, looked at it and looked at it: "This scorpion is a bit special!" It seems that it has not been seen before, could it be a new variety? Previously unfounded. ”

Professor Wen nodded: "I think the same way, call Dean Ding and ask them to come over and see clearly." If our guess is correct, we may not want to go in again. ”

If it is really a new species that has not been discovered before, then it is very likely that the cave inside will be sealed off by the research institute until they can explore it clearly. If these new scorpions only live in that cave, perhaps it may have to be classified as a forbidden area for humans.

Dean Ding and the others got the news and rushed over immediately, and even those analytical instruments were carried over. A group of old men tossed and turned over the dead scorpion, and Chu Jiaqiang and the others were very painful.

"Look no further, you can conclude. This is a previously undiscovered scorpion with a pair of legs larger than usual. And, judging by the degeneration of their visual membranes, it is known that this scorpion cannot see light. Can only live in the dark. Dean Ding spoke.

The others nodded as well. Dean Ding immediately arranged manpower to prepare to explore the cave inside and count the scorpions inside.

"You tell your people not to move inside yet, and then our people will come back. You're in charge of leading them in and out. Rest assured! If you really want to make it a living area for this kind of scorpion, the research institute will compensate you for the money you invested before. Dean Ding said to Chen Wu.

"Alas! Unlucky! My place only opened today and closed the same day. Chen Wu said very depressedly.

As soon as the experts and professors put the dead scorpion down, the red panda stretched out its paws and caught it and put it in its mouth. Professor Wen and the others were just about to stop it. The red panda has eaten into its stomach.

Originally, they still wanted to study it! After the study, it had to be made into a specimen, and who knew that it would be swallowed by the red panda like this.

"Alas! You little thing. Dean Ding couldn't laugh or cry. Seeing the innocent and childish face of the red panda, it is not easy to blame it. The red panda is an omnivorous animal, and it is not surprising that it eats bamboo shoots, wild fruits, young branches and leaves, or catches small birds, mice, insects and bird eggs for food.

Chu Jiaqiang smiled and took the red panda away, not to mention the red panda. Even if the little squirrel comes back, it may do the same. You know, baby squirrels also eat insects, and scorpions are also among them.

"How can red pandas even eat scorpions? Isn't this thing poisonous? Someone asked.

"If it's poisonous, you can't eat it? Everyone can eat it, and these little animals don't care. Those centipedes and stuff like that. It is also poisonous, and the rooster eats into the stomach like a hen. Zhou Furong rolled his eyes.

There are people out there who like to eat scorpions, what's all the fuss about? I really don't understand.

Cut off the tail of the scorpion, remove the internal organs, etc. Wash it with water or even soak it for a while. Then put it in water and boil it for a while, pick it up after it is half-cooked, and then put it in oil and fry it, order some seasonings, I don't know how delicious it is.

Of course, there are also scorpions that are put directly into the water, and the dirt inside will also flow out of the body, marinate them with salt, and then put them in oil to fry, which is also OK.

In fact, as a famous dish, scorpions have long entered the tables of hotels, restaurants and even ordinary people. Regular food not only has good effects of removing phoenix, detoxifying, relieving pain and channeling, but also has curative effects on digestive tract cancer, esophageal cancer, colon cancer and liver cancer. At present, scorpion products are emerging as a good nourishing and health food in the north and south of the country.

In addition, due to people's long-term land reclamation, mineral resource development, extensive use of pesticides and artificially large number of captures, resulting in the depletion of wild scorpion resources and even facing the danger of extinction, which constitutes a very prominent contradiction between supply and demand with the expanding demand for scorpions in the market. Although the price of scorpions has risen again and again, the national production of scorpions can only meet about 30% of the market demand.

Therefore, there are many places outside to artificially cultivate scorpions, and Zhou Furong has seen a lot. It can be said that as wild scorpions enter the ranks of protected animals, almost all of what they see outside are artificially cultivated.

Dean Ding and others sent a special team to search for scorpions in the cave. After a busy day, more than ten have been found, and the number is very small, which makes Dean Ding and others very worried. They all suspected that this scorpion was also on the verge of extinction.

However, in the next two days, the little squirrel also caught one, which scared everyone. Professor Wen and others thought that the little squirrel ran in to catch and eat, which was very bad, and there were enough of these species.

"Didn't you see the little squirrel coming in with you?" At this time, Dean Ding was a little angry and said to those inspectors. Naturally, he didn't care about the little squirrel, and he couldn't care about it, so he had to spill his temper on others.

Those people shook their heads with a bitter expression, who would pay attention to whether there was a small animal following behind?

But Chu Jiaqiang knew very well that the little squirrel was definitely not caught in the cave, so he asked the little squirrel to take them over to see.

Sure enough, the little squirrel only found this kind of scorpion in the dark jungle near the Tianqian Cliff, and there were quite a few of them. With this discovery, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can catch the scorpion inside this time, right? They can survive on the outside anyway, and to be precise, outside is their home base. Chen Wu said to the biologists.

Professor Wen and the others immediately laughed and said, "Okay, when we transfer all the scorpions inside, your ghost place can be opened." ”

Since this is the case, they are naturally happy to see it. You must know that if you get that place down, you will have to pay Chen Wu at least millions, and with this money, it is certainly much better for them to use it for other purposes.
