Chapter 7: The Scorpion

"yes, that's why people don't dare to come here." Daddy sighed, "I really don't know what's going on." ”

"Alas, let's watch as we go, be cautious, and if we find anything wrong, we will run quickly." I looked at my dad and Zhang Man and said seriously.

They all nodded, and the three of us walked slowly on, past the abandoned house, and I looked inside, and there was basically nothing left except for the broken table and bed, and there was a very unpleasant musty smell coming from it.

Walking forward, it was a relatively empty place, leading to the deep mountains, and in that empty area, everywhere I saw some broken bones, I think it should be the corpses of those inexplicably dead hunters that Daddy said, after many years, plus the gnawing of wild beasts, it is already not what it looks like.

The three of us bypassed the broken bones and continued on, and nothing strange happened, and I couldn't help but feel that this dead man's ditch was just in name.

I remember the approximate location of the Ten Paths of the Heavenly Heart that day, which was about the same as the position we were walking towards now, but when we continued to walk for more than ten minutes, I was stunned, because the one that went in the direction of the Ten Paths of the Heavenly Heart was blocked, blocked by a mountain.

The original road was still relatively wide, but the further we went, the narrower the road became, and it slowly shifted to the northeast, and we were going to the northwest, but it was blocked by a black stone mountain.

The stone mountain is very strange, I don't know what's going on, on its mountain, all the big and small holes, the small ones are basically the size of a thumb, and the larger ones are as thick as an adult's arm. Looking at the rest of the place, it is all complete, except for the stone mountain in front of us.

And next to the stone mountain full of holes, there were four or five corpses that had become a pair of dry bones, and it seemed that they should have been dead for a long time, but judging from the strips of cloth on their clothes, they did not look like ordinary people, because the fragments of clothes on those corpses could obviously be seen to be leather.

In a relatively poor town like ours, there are very few people who can wear such leather clothes, and few people will wear them like that, which makes me feel very strange, next to those corpses, there are a few small bags that have been broken, I slowly stepped forward, and found a small iron rod from my body, which I brought when I came, I slowly picked up the broken bag next to the corpse, which contained a kettle, which was still rusty, and the remaining bags were not in shape, There was nothing but the kettle.

"Is it difficult to bring someone else here?" Daddy frowned, looking at the corpses, and the kettles.

"I guess they have the same purpose as us, otherwise they wouldn't have had to make so much effort to get here." After thinking about it, I said lightly.

"How? Now there is this stone mountain here, and if we follow the exact direction, we will climb over this stone mountain. Zhang Man said with some worry on the side.

I nodded, "Let's go, we'd better get over there as soon as possible, if we don't know anything, it's not good for us." With that, I put the iron rod away, and then flung it towards the black stone mountain full of holes.

The stone mountain is not very steep, and because of those holes, it is much easier to climb, hands and feet have buckled places, the stone mountain is more than ten meters high, I went up first, when I climbed less than two meters, on the back of my hand, suddenly there was a tingling pain, quickly pulled out the hand to see, I don't know when, on the back of my hand, there is already a scorpion the size of a water bottle cap.

"Ahh I screamed, and then my hand let go, and I fell straight backwards.

Before Zhang Man and his father started to climb, they saw me suddenly fall and wanted to catch it, but it was too late, and I fell directly from a height of two meters. Although it was not particularly high, it still hurt me from the fall, and my back hurt for a while.

Looking at the back of my hand again, the scorpion was gone, only leaving a red wound, in the place of the red wound, a slight pain and itching sensation came, I wanted to reach out to scratch it, but was pulled by the father on the side.

"Look!" As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the stone mountain full of holes.

I looked over to the stone mountain, and among the large and small holes, some black and white things slowly crawled out, some big and some small, and they were all scorpions. The small ones are the size of peanuts, but when I look at the big ones, I can't help but gasp.

The scorpion that always crawled out of the larger hole in the rocky mountain was the size of an apple, and we could clearly see how sharp the tail hook of the huge scorpion was when we stood below.

"I think we'd better go back first." Zhang Man said with some trembling, she crawled on this disgusting thing.

I nodded unnaturally, the holes on the stone mountain are all the scorpions' nests, no wonder there are several corpses down there, it is estimated that they were all bitten to death by those scorpions when they wanted to climb up.

One or two are fine, but the stone mountain in front of me is full of black and white scorpions.

We hurriedly stepped back, estimating that it was enough to go and see the ten paths of the heart of the day, there were so many scorpions on the stone mountain that stood in the way, not to mention whether it was poisonous or not, a scorpion would probably not be able to stand a bite.

The scorpions were seeing us retreating, and they actually crawled backwards towards us. And it's very fast.

"Climb quickly." Dad shouted, then pulled me and Zhang Man, turned around and ran in the direction we came.

The scorpion made an indescribable sound, and then the smaller ones down there chased after us.

And the three of us didn't even dare to turn our heads, so we ran straight forward, until we ran out of the canyon when we entered, and only after seeing the Yinshan petroglyphs next to us did we dare to look back, but when we turned around, the black and white scorpion chasing behind us before was gone.

Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, my hand began to hurt more and more, and when I picked up my hand and looked at the place where I had been bitten before, it was already a very large bag, and blood was slowly flowing out from time to time.
