Chapter Seventy-Two: Entangled

Lu Xin's skill is mind control, but she can only control those small animals with weak mental power, and her ability has little effect on weekdays, but it has miraculous effects in some cases, such as dealing with this scorpion.

Dai Qing glanced at Lu Xin, and then pointed to the scorpion above Ye Mu's head, and Lu Xin nodded knowingly.

I saw Lu Xin squinting slightly at the scorpion above Ye Mu's head, and after a while, the girl's eyes suddenly became empty and lost focus.

The scorpion with teeth and claws trembled as if it had been subjected to a ghost, and began to crawl forward along Ye Mu's head.

This is the first time everyone has seen a scorpion tremble...

'Smack'

The scorpion that was controlled by Lu Xin really fell off Ye Mu's head and fell under Ye Mu's feet.

As soon as the scorpion hit the ground, it regained consciousness, and it rolled over, angrily raising its hideous tail thorn, trying to pierce Yemu's feet.

Dai Qing's eyes were quick, and he pulled the trigger the moment the scorpion raised its tail spur, and the bullet instantly pierced the scorpion's body, and before the poor scorpion could react to what was happening, it was hit by the huge impact of the bullet and a ball of meat sauce, leaving only two pale yellow front claws and six attached feet on the ground.

Ye Mu looked down at the dead scorpion on the ground, and said with palpitations: "This is going to be stabbed, and you have to take off half of the skin, everyone be careful, this place is estimated to hide poisonous insects." ”

"I find you very buggy." Dai Qing quipped.

Ye Mu rolled his eyes: "Nonsense, the spider was obviously going for you last time." ”

As soon as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they heard the sound of 'huh, huh' coming from all directions

Ye Mu was startled, and hurriedly looked around, only to see that in the caves of the stone pillars around him, hundreds of flesh-yellow scorpions continued to crawl out one after another, they seemed to be disturbed by Dai Qing's gunshots, and crawled towards everyone's position one after another!

Dense scorpions crawled all over the stone pillars and lawns, like a meat-yellow wave surging towards everyone, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

"Run!"

Ye Mu didn't hesitate, took Dai Qing's hand and ran towards the gap in the encirclement, and the remaining few people also fled behind him, but those scorpion groups were like having a grudge against everyone, and they chased after them.

"Stay away from those stone pillars! He meowed, and the holes in the stone pillar were probably full of scorpions! Ye Mu reminded everyone loudly.

"This stuff is endless!"

"They're not as fast as we are, don't be afraid, you can get rid of them!"

At this moment, Lu Xin, who was following behind everyone, suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

The girl lay on the ground, trying to get up, but it was as if she had been grabbed by the ankle, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not get up.

Looking at the scorpion group that was getting closer and closer to her behind her, Lu Xin was completely panicked, she gave up the struggle, revealing a desperate and sad look, and tears slipped from her eyes.

Qin Aowu was the first to react, he secretly said in his heart that it was not good, turned around and dragged Lu Xin on the ground, the girl was lying on the ground like a fool, no matter how hard Qin Aowu pulled, he didn't move, just looked straight at the scorpion group that was getting closer and closer.

"Let's go, Lu Xin! What are you in a daze! Qin Aowu shouted anxiously.

Lu Xin's eyes were blank as if she was unconscious, and she didn't react at all.

Ye Mu also ran back at this time, he glanced at Lu Xin, who was lying on the ground like a puppet, and then looked at the tide-like scorpion swarm in front of him, and suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight.

"Can you carry her on your back?"

Qin Aowu shook his head helplessly: "It's so heavy, I can't even pull it up, what the hell!" ”

In his mind, he suddenly recalled the scene when he encountered the black nematode tide, and Ye Mu's eyes lit up.

'Could these scorpions also be afraid of fire?'

With this in mind, Ye Mu immediately took out the lighter from his pocket and bent down to light the lawn on the ground.

It's a pity that the time is not good, the piece under Lu Xin's feet is not dry grass, the lawn is green and vibrant, and the faint flame in Ye Mu's hand can't light it.

"Dai Qing! Stick to me! ”

Dai Qing was smart, and immediately understood what Ye Mu meant, and hurriedly took out the wooden stick that he had used as a torch from his bag and handed it to Ye Mu.

Ye Mu took the stick, his face was happy, time was pressing, he hurriedly lit the stick, and went to burn the lawn on the ground with a torch.

At this time, the scorpion group on the ground was about to crawl in front of everyone, and they were about to approach with their teeth and claws, and when they saw the torch in Ye Mu's hand, they stopped one after another.

Flames are indeed the nemesis of these poisonous insects and beasts, and when they encounter danger in the forest, they can always have an unexpected effect.

It's a pity that Ye Mu has now eaten the fruit and turned into a zombie, and he can no longer condense elemental bullets, otherwise he would not be able to go to great lengths to light the fire with a wooden stick.

After half a sound, the lawn in front of Ye Mu was ignited, and the blazing flames spread out in all directions.

With the joint efforts of everyone, they finally pulled Lu Xin on the ground, the girl still looked like she was lost and depressed, and Qin Aowu could only carry her on his back and continue to escape.

Ye Mu and the others hadn't run far before they saw the dark blue moths flying overwhelmed, they were like the unique fire extinguishing team of this forest, rushing to the ground one after another, the moths threw themselves into the fire waves, the flesh exploded in the flames, making a 'crackling' sound, and a scorching smell of meat spread.

The sky overhead suddenly darkened, the sun gradually became enveloped in dark clouds, black clouds rolled, thunder bursts, the wind swept the sand and slapped on everyone's faces, the downpour fell from the sky, and the tea kung fu extinguished the flames on the grass.

At this time, Ye Mu and the others had already run nearly a thousand meters away, and the scorpion group lost their target and turned around and walked back.

The crowd fled for a while, and they no longer dared to approach the dangerous stone forests, so they could only find a random shade to shelter from the rain.

The clothes on everyone's bodies were already soaked, but the white coat on Dai Qing's body was not inviolable by water and fire, and was not wet by the rain.

Ye Mu handed the torch in his hand to Dai Qing, looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and thought thoughtfully.

When he first encountered the black nematode, he thought the rainstorm was a coincidence, but now it seems that the moths that put out the fire and the sudden heavy rain are all specific to forest fires.

Just like the self-regulating capacity of ecosystems, the more complex the environment, the stronger the self-regulating ability.

Lu Xin came back from her demented state, she squatted on the ground and gasped for breath, her face was as pale as paper, and only after half a sound did she say in a trembling voice: "Just now... Someone was dragging me just now. ”

Qin Aowu said helplessly: "I wanted to drag you up, you were stupid just now." ”

"It's not! I mean, somebody just pulled my feet! Don't let me get up! Lu Xin's words revealed irrepressible horror.

"Huh?" Qin Aowu was stunned: "That's not me..."

Liu Wen pursed her lips: "Isn't it just that I was scared and my legs were weak, and I made excuses for myself." ”

"No, it's not! Someone really dragged me! ”

Ye Mu saw Lu Xin's panicked expression, not as if he was lying, so he asked, "Someone dragged you?" That's why you can't run?"

Lu Xin nodded hurriedly: "Someone tripped me by the ankle and didn't let me get up!" ”

"Which foot is being pulled? Show me. ”

Seeing that someone believed in herself, Lu Xin's frightened heart settled down a little,

The girl's face was slightly red, she lifted the trouser leg of her right foot, took off the shoe of her right foot by holding on to the tree trunk, and said in a trembling voice: "The position of the ankle is as if it was grabbed by a cold hand!" ”

Ye Mu nodded, squatted down, gently grabbed the girl's jade feet with his withered and cold hands, and observed carefully, and sure enough, he found something wrong. Lu Xin's ankles are slender and white, and her skin is stained with raindrops and some grass and soil, and if you look closely, you can find that there is a circle of red strangulation marks on her ankles, which look like a child's handprint!

Ye Mu slowly stood up and looked at the girl in front of him with a gloomy face.

Lu Xin was a little hairy by Ye Mu, and asked timidly, "Did you find anything?"

As soon as Dai Qing and the others saw Ye Mu's appearance, they knew that things were not simple, and they all cast puzzled glances at Ye Mu.

Ye Mu hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "There is a handprint on his foot... Child's. ”

"Small. Child's? Lu Xin's face turned even paler when she heard this: "Aren't you mistaken?" ”

Ye Mu shook his head: "That's right, the red palm print, I guess it may be the little ghost under the tree before, entangled with you." ”

Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while.
