All the food was distributed.

Only a small portion of the water remains.

The food is basically gone.

The members of the exploration team sit at the entrance of the cave and eat in silence.

Some of them looked solemn, and some looked at the scorpions, their eyes revealing a strong killing intent. Everyone knows that the next step is the last stand.

As if sensing the killing intent of the exploration team members, the scorpion swarm was also ready to move, emitting a strange and piercing hissing sound.

As is customary, the needle gold eats the most food. He chewed every piece of food and rolled it down his throat, down his esophagus, and into his stomach.

This simple process brings a full and indescribable feeling of happiness to the needle.

The stomach was already hungry and thirsty, and it was like a bottomless pit, devouring everything that came into it.

Soon, he felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot.

But at the same time, his stomach was still thriving. It's signaling to its own owner that I want, I want more food!

But there are no more.

Needlegold stood up, jumped a few times, and came to the front of the scorpion.

The silver spear scorpion felt the battle intent of the needle gold, and immediately came out of the crowd.

But this time, the needle gold did not entangle with it, but suddenly jumped into the scorpion group.

He descended from the sky, landed on the back of an ordinary spear scorpion, and pierced its head with a sword.

The hapless spear scorpion let out a terrible neigh, and its body twisted wildly, like a wild horse with a fierce temperament. Then, the yellow-brown blood spread all over the ground, and it quickly became motionless.

The spear scorpions all froze for a moment, as if stunned by the abrupt assassination of the needle.

Then the next moment, as if stabbing a hornet's nest, the entire scorpion group erupted into a terrifying hiss and frantically pounced on the needle. The silver spear scorpion is the most violent among them.

Needle Jin laughed, jumped out before the scorpion swarm, and then quickly ran.

The scorpions were in hot pursuit behind him, and in their rage, they all exploded at breakneck speeds. If it is in the gentle terrain of deserts and grasslands, the needle gold will soon catch up. But on this volcano, needlegold can jump to great heights. The scorpion, on the other hand, can only climb diagonally upwards due to its low and flat body structure, which gives the needle a lot of opportunities.

Seeing that they couldn't catch up with the needle gold for a while, some of the spear scorpions shifted their targets and killed the explorers at the entrance of the cave.

The previous tacit understanding was broken by the needle, and the attack of the scorpion swarm carried a strong sense of revenge.

"Into the cave!" the exploration team was prepared, and quickly turned around and burrowed into the cave behind them.

The spear scorpions were in hot pursuit, and when they entered the hole, they were immediately stuck by the small hole inside.

The small hole is specially corroded by a drug, and a person can get into it, but the size of the scorpion is too large.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the exploration team members in the small cave raised their arms, and for a moment the swords came out and stabbed the body of the spear scorpion fiercely.

The scorpion shell is tough and resists stabbing blows.

The huge pincer feet were also constantly swinging, constantly bombarding the cave walls with a loud thud.

Cracks in the walls of small openings are showing up and increasing.

"Withdraw!" Sensing that the small hole was going to be unsupportable, the exploration team members immediately retreated into a deeper hole.

After about ten breaths, the first small hole collapsed, and the spear scorpion let out a high-pitched hiss and rushed in.

But it soon found that there were five or six small holes in front of it, and each of them had the smell of a human being.

The spear scorpion lacked wisdom, so he didn't hesitate, chose one at random, and continued to smash it with giant pincers.

At this time, the sword pierced from the small hole around it.

The scorpion armor on the back of the spear scorpion is the toughest, and the belly is softer.

This time, the sword kept stabbing the spear scorpion in the abdomen.

The spear scorpion quickly couldn't hold on, and the scorpion shell was pierced, and yellow-brown blood flowed from the wound. It wants to retreat, but it is very difficult to turn around in the hole. And there are companions behind it, blocking its escape route.

Soon after, it died by the sword.

Seeing the death of his companion, the spear scorpion behind him became even more violent, and he directly swung the giant pincers to smash the corpse of the spear scorpion in front of him and rushed into it.

The exploration team did the same, and killed the second one.

In a head-to-head confrontation, the exploration team had already suffered casualties, but after using the right tactics, they did not blindly reduce their numbers.

"That's it!"

"We can kill them!"

The morale of the exploration team was boosted.

A third spear scorpion burrowed in and quickly fell into the predicament of its former companion.

It quickly wounded and hissed in pain. Then, with a flick of the scorpion's tail, it easily pierced the cave wall.

Unexpectedly, one of the explorers in the small cave was impaled through his entire chest, and bright red blood spurted out, killing him instantly.

The strong smell of blood stimulated both sides even more crazy.

It turned out that the fight and struggle of the two spear scorpions before had caused the cave wall to collapse a lot and the space to expand. The third spear scorpion then had room to flick its scorpion tail.

The scorpion's tail is the strongest weapon of the spear scorpion, and the length of the expedition team's sword is limited, so in order to stab the spear scorpion, it must be close to the small hole.

Every time the scorpion tail stabs, it threatens to end the life of a member of the exploration team.

"Give me death!"

"Kill, kill!!"

"Die, die!"

The members of the exploration team were all red-eyed, and none of them fled.

In this kind of terrain, even if they want to escape, there is nowhere to escape.

When they reach the open area, they don't have the physical fitness to shoot gold, even in the mountains, they will be easily chased and killed by spear scorpions.

If you can't run away, then you can only survive by killing head-on and solving the scorpion swarm.

Moreover, the members of the exploration team all know that there is no food, and only by killing these spear scorpions will there be a source of food.

Desperate!

There is no way back.

Only forward, fight your way out!

This is the consensus of all.

The situation on the battlefield is gradually tilting towards the scorpion swarm.

As time went on, the members of the expedition team quickly became weaker and weaker, making it increasingly difficult to resist the onslaught of the spear scorpion.

It was an ordinary spear scorpion, and its strength was far greater than that of humans. Although the corroded cave wall was solid, it could not withstand the continuous bombardment of the giant pincers for long.

In order to create a favorable terrain, Zidi used up all the potions in her hands.

Favorable terrain is limited, and the number of spear scorpions appears to be greater.

The exploration team kept retreating, and the terrain of the small cave was destroyed one after another, and finally reached the limit, and they had no way back to retreat.

One team member after another died.

The casualties of the exploration team surged, and the casualties were heavy.

Zidi's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pintip!

A scorpion tail was like the tip of a knight's spear charging out, directly piercing the wall of the small hole that was already extremely thin, and came to the girl in the blink of an eye.

In the moment of life and death, the shadow of the sword flashed.

The scorpion's tail was cut off directly, brushed past Zidi's ears, and shot diagonally at the cave wall behind the girl, very close to the ground in the cave.

The scorpion-tailed spear was only two or three fingers away from his head.

"Your Excellency, you're back. Zidi escaped death, and the stimulus of death made her grab the hand of the needle.

Before the girl's face could show a look of surprise, worry appeared.

"Ah, my lord, you're hurt!" exclaimed Zidi.

There are bright red blood stains on the needle gold's body, and the blood of the spear scorpion is yellow-brown, and the source of the blood stains is obvious.

Needle Gold patted the girl's hand: "Don't worry, it's just a small injury." ”

He glanced around, and he was shocked by the casualties of the expedition. All that was left of the expedition was Purple Di, Grey Whiskers, and the faint White Bud. If he comes one step too late, I'm afraid he will have to collect everyone's bodies.

Needlegold has done its best.

In order to get rid of the silver spear scorpion, he even did not hesitate to pay the price of minor injuries.

But when he returned to the cave, he was still very sad and disappointed by the casualties of the exploration team.

"Quick, let's hurry up and get out of here. The needle gold carried the white buds, followed by the purple pedicle and the green beard.

However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he saw the silver spear scorpion leading the scorpion swarm, surrounding the cave.

Purple Hair and Cang Xu turned pale.

Needlegold's face is also quite ugly.

"Go back. The young knight gritted his teeth, his mouth full of bitterness.

The expedition paid a terrible price, but the last effort was unsuccessful.

Compared to the flying squirrel swarm, the scorpion swarm is too powerful.

The silver spear scorpion pounced, and the needle gold took advantage of the limited terrain to engage it.

The Scorpion Leader is larger than the normal Scorpion, making it difficult to turn around in the hole, and even wielding the pincer foot.

The needle gold made it suffer, and the silver spear scorpion exited the cave, letting out a hissing roar.

Under its orders, not a single spear scorpion entered the cave again, but only surrounded the hole.

Night fell quickly.

The scorpions lay motionless at the entrance of the cave, as if they were dormant, but sometimes they made a squirming sound.

In the cave, the wound of the needle gold has been properly bandaged.

Zidi looked at the pile of corpses of spear scorpions, and her face looked ugly.

"You can't eat any of this. ”

"Their flesh and blood contain tiny metal particles. ”

People are not spear scorpions, and they cannot digest metal particles. If you eat these, your digestive system will die one after another, including the kidneys.

So, all that was left for food was just two bags of water.

Zidi rummaged through her small purse, which had long since dried up. Without the basic materials, even with such a large number of scorpion corpses, she couldn't configure any new potion.

After a few moments, the girl's shoulders twitched and she began to cry quietly.

"There's no way, I can't think of any way. ”

All the while, this strong girl finally broke down emotionally.

Needle Gold gently embraced her into his arms.

"I've let you down, I can't make any potions to help you, my lord!" Zidi sobbed.

Needle Gold shook his head and sighed: "It's okay, you've done a good job." ”

"It's all thanks to you that I've been alive and here. ”

"You can't use low-level magic here, it's always been too difficult for you. ”

"No, it's me and I'm the one who has caused you, Lord Needlegold. If I hadn't suggested it, we wouldn't have sneaked aboard the boat. It won't end up on this island. When you encounter lizards and spear scorpions, you can completely abandon me and survive alone. ”

Speaking of this, Zidi suddenly realized, raised her head and looked up at the needle gold with amethyst-like eyes.

She pleaded, "My lord, you can go." Leave me alone! You can get out of here. ”

Needle Jin smiled slightly, with a hint of pampering, and brushed away a strand of hair that Zidi covered her eyes: "You are my fiancée, and I am your knight." It is my duty to protect you. I will guard until the end of my life. ”
