Chapter 10: The Second Coming

It's not too far, it's still the same road, but the weather isn't very good today, and it looks like it's going to rain at any time.

The five of us packed all our gear and headed for the road no one had ever been to.

Looking at the red rocky mountains around me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease, it didn't take long for us to reach the broken houses that entered the dead man's ditch, we stopped, looked ahead, it was still the same scene as before, I stretched out my hand and pointed forward.

"That's over there, those scorpions are in that position, they chased here before and seemed to go back, I don't know if there are any more nearby." I pointed to the front, and looked at Hou Zifeng and Zhang Huanqing with some concern.

"What are you afraid of, if you come over, you can just kill yourself." Hou Zifeng said quietly, and then walked forward.

We hurriedly followed him, slowly thinking about the ditch to walk, the bones we saw on the ground before were getting fewer and fewer, maybe they were taken away by the beasts in the mountain, we followed the road we had walked before, and kept walking inside, and it didn't take long for us to come to the place where we had met the scorpion before.

"It's the front, the mountain full of holes." I pointed to the mountain not far in front of us.

From where we are now, in fact, the stone mountain full of holes, as if it was installed later, from the overall view of the mountain, the two sides of the cave stone mountain are relatively steep, and very high, while the cave mountain is much shorter, and the color of the mountain is obviously different. It's like there was supposed to be an exit before, but someone blocked it. This is the scene in front of me, there should have been an entrance in the middle of the steep stone mountains on both sides, but someone used this cave mountain to block the entrance.

"I feel like it's artificial." Hou Zifeng stared at the cave mountain, which was not very high, and said curiously.

I nodded, "I thought so too, but why block it." ”

"Why, isn't it just to stop those of us who want to rob people's graves, otherwise he will be idle." Hou Zifeng looked at me with disdain and said.

"So what now? You can't go up, but if you go up, there will be scorpions coming out. "I was helpless for a while, and finally found a place to go in, and there were so many scorpions inside.

"Give me the oil or I'll do it." Hou Zifeng stretched out his hand to me and said leisurely.

I took the oil out of my bag, handed it to him, and looked at him curiously to see what he was doing.

Hou Zifeng smiled confidently, then took off his backpack and threw it to us, "Okay, wait for the good news." ”

After finishing speaking, Hou Zifeng turned to look at the stone mountain full of holes. The stone mountain is more than ten meters high, he carefully looked at the holes on the stone mountain, every moment, he took a few steps back, leaving a distance to run before stopping. At this time, he had already tied a relatively thick hemp rope around his waist, and after glancing at the front, he accelerated directly and ran towards the cave mountain quickly.

When he was about to approach the cave mountain, he jumped over, and one foot stepped directly on a relatively large hole in the cave stone mountain, and with the help of his strength, he jumped towards another larger hole, and he jumped over like a nimble monkey, and in a short time he was already standing on the top of the cave stone mountain.

Just as he reached the top of the mountain, there was a noise in the holes below, and we all looked over the holes full of mountains, and the black and white scorpion that had been all the time crawled out of the holes and looked straight at us, as if they were going to attack at any moment. It's just that there is no movement in the larger holes. They didn't notice the existence of Houzifeng at all.

"Just wait for you to come out." Standing on the top of the mountain, Hou Zifeng smiled, and then opened the prepared fire oil bottle cap directly, and sprinkled it down the cave stone mountain.

The fire oil was sprinkled on those holes, and some of the scorpions that had crawled out, and they felt that there were people above their heads, and all of them made a somewhat harsh sound, and then they quickly climbed up towards Houzi Peak.

"Hey, hey! It's late. Hou Zifeng smiled, then took out a box of matches from his pocket, took out a match, and gently wiped it on the match skin, the match burned, and slowly threw it forward.

The matches fell on the cave and stone mountain, and with a bang, they immediately burst into flames, and the scorpions that quickly climbed up, because they were covered with fire oil, were all ignited one after another after just approaching the burning fire.

Seeing the scene in front of me, I finally understood Hou Zifeng's thoughts, and I had to admire it, the scorpions that were charred fell down layer by layer, and after a while, I couldn't see a scorpion in the cave stone mountain, maybe they were all scorched, maybe there was no coming out, anyway, we didn't see the huge scorpion appear, which made me very strange, just like a few days ago, when we first came, those huge scorpions came out, why can't we see it now?

"Hey! Then. "The monkey standing on the top of the hill yelled at us, and then threw down the hemp rope that had been tied to him before.

We caught the rope he threw down, and climbed up one by one, I climbed first, but just as I was halfway up, there was a thunderous "boom", and I almost let go of my hand.

Before I could continue to climb up, pea-sized raindrops fell, and the burning stone mountain, which had been burning before, was washed away by the rain, and all the burning flames were extinguished.

"Hurry up and climb up." Hou Zifeng stood on the top of the mountain and shouted anxiously. He knew that there should still be scorpions that had not come out, and now that the fire had been extinguished by the rain, there would definitely be scorpions coming out.

As soon as he finished speaking, many very large scorpions crawled out of the holes with the thickness of his arms.

At this time, I was still three or four meters away from Houzi Peak, and the scorpion that crawled out was not far from me, I thought to myself, this time is over, just when I wanted to retreat, a strong word came from the rope, and then pulled me upward.

"How much did you kid eat during this time when he came home, why is it so heavy!"
