Chapter 005: Accident
The more Linciso looked at it, the more strange it became, first, scorpions don't mate at this time. Second, they leave their golden scorpion eggs in the hot springs and let them drift. Thirdly, in appearance, they are much more beautiful than ordinary scorpions, with their shiny shells intact. You know, when it comes to the breeding period, in order to court, the poisonous scorpion must defeat the rival in love, so each poisonous scorpion is scarred, and when facing them, it is completely possible to judge its record from the scars, are these two scorpions soft-footed shrimp?
Shaking his head, he said in his heart: "Even if it is a soft-footed shrimp, they don't dare to act rashly, they are too strong, and they can scare people to death." β
After watching for a long time, a new discovery was made, the male scorpion picked up some fruits from the stone and sent them into his mouth.
"Tsk, hugging your wife while eating is happy, what a hero!"
Lin Xisuo dragged a sentence and found that the surrounding terrain was not bad, especially the dirt behind it, which was just used to plant the precious medical plant.
The only green leaf on the plant is curly. When he jumped over the gerbil's nest, he suffered an internal injury, and used up a piece, and stuffed a piece into the gap between his shoes, so that his brother was the only one left to support the faΓ§ade here.
I dug a pit with a dagger, stuffed the burr-covered roots into it, and after planting it, I hurriedly applied fertilizer and poured the high-energy culture liquid around. After staring at it for a long time, looking left and right to see if there was any change in the fart, I always felt even more wilted.
"Eighty percent will not react so quickly, if they really survive, collect some medical leaves regularly, and go back, the fungus collectors in the village will have an extra layer of protection. If my mother had eaten a few slices back then, maybe ......"
My heart was gloomy for a while, everyone's life was not easy, and the purchase of medical plants was not for themselves. If the village chief were to submit the premium mycelium at the purchase price, forty-five kilograms would not be enough to pay off the debt. My mother said that she should be reciprocated by a spring of water, so she took a risk and made a private deal with Wood. For those uncles and aunts who have helped them in difficult times, they never dare to forget, so they give back with double or even several times the material. However, I still feel that it is not enough, the medical conditions in the shipwreck village are too poor, and the plants in front of me are hope.
"Boom" the mountain shook the ground, panicked and lay on the ground, buzzing in his ears, what the hell is going on?
Immediately after, there was a series of deafening noises, and finally calm was restored.
Slowly getting up and looking into the distance, there was nothing to see and dust to see, and I could only conclude that the loud noise was coming from the direction of the hot spring.
"Gada, Gada, Gada......" The male scorpion's figure passed nearby, grabbing the female scorpion on the big pincers, judging from the female scorpion's wounds, there was no power to fight back at all.
Lin Xisuo was very nervous, forced to hold his breath, and did not dare to move, as if carved in wood and stone. The air was filled with a pungent fishy smell, and the blood of the female scorpion was spilled everywhere, which was a good way to hide the unfamiliar smell.
Forty seconds was as long as half a century, and the male scorpion disappeared, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and sat on the ground with his butt, faintly recalling some rumors.
The old man in the village once said that at the top of the crypt food chain is a terrifying scorpion king, they have a strong sense of territory, and ordinary poisonous scorpions are a piece of cake in front of them.
The Scorpion King is almost another creature, and the mating seasons are often decades apart, and during the mating period, in order to replenish their physical strength, the female scorpion will kill each other mercilessly before waiting for the eggs to be laid. After the scorpion eggs hatch, only three female scorpions are allowed to live in the territory, and the rest of the offspring are all wiped out. Wait until the next mating to have sex with only the strongest female scorpion, and the other two will eat them all.
It can be said that this is a very selfish creature that only allows the male scorpion heir to appear when it comes to the end of its life. When I was a child, I listened to the story, but after listening to it, I didn't take it to heart, and I never thought that I really met the Scorpion King today.
My heart was beating and I was a little afraid. Maybe it's just in time for its mating period to get the extra hyphae. Just after mating, it was the most lazy moment for the scorpions, so they escaped just now. Next time, next time I will never be so lucky, and I must leave as soon as possible.
After stabilizing his mind, Fu Zhi thought in his heart: "Don't worry, the Scorpion King will definitely have to rest for a while to recover." If all the scorpion eggs are destroyed, then it will not be cut off? No human has ever entered this area, so it is not very vigilant, so let's go to the hot springs to see what is going on. β
Lin Xisuo has always been very bold, and when the dust settles in the direction of the hot spring, he tiptoes over.
After the inspection, I was ecstatic, the food that the scorpion king ate when mating turned out to be mushroom spores, and the village chief boasted more than once that he had eaten this when he was young, and the description was extremely detailed, so he was impressed.
There are more than 100 mushroom spores scattered on the rocks, each the size of a baby's fist, and the texture is very light. Stuff one in your mouth, it's sweet and silky, and it melts in your mouth.
"No wonder people say that wealth is in danger, if you are so frightened that you turn around and run, how can you have such a blessing?"
Carefully collect the mushroom spores, take off your clothes and dive into the hot springs. The searchlight is well sealed and still works underwater. I saw bunches of scorpion eggs clinging to the rocks, like grapes cultivated in an oasis, golden and excellent.
Scorpion eggs have many uses, can make antidotes, and are rich in active proteins, and their trace elements also have a fetal effect. However, most of the ordinary scorpion eggs are gray, and a small part is white, but the golden scorpion eggs are the first time to see them.
"Oops! Anyway, pack them all and take them away, and the next time you see President Wood, you might be able to sell them for a good price. β
As if by magic, Linciso pulled out the canvas package from his clothes, and in a moment he filled it to the fullest, and returned to the place where the medical plant had been planted earlier, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. I didn't know it was the Scorpion King's territory just now, I thought it was close to the water source, so I planted it indiscriminately, and now I have to dig it out again, anyway, I don't plan to return to this place, so it doesn't matter if it's troublesome.
He took the whole piece of earth with a dagger, gently rolled it into the package, and burrowed into the rock crevice in a chic manner, and turned back to the camp.
When he saw the tent from afar, the cat bent down to observe for a long time, and then turned around to make sure that the mark left behind had not been damaged, and then he was relieved.
It was a few hours of tossing and turning, and there were a lot of thrills during the process. I rubbed my belly, and I had a strong feeling of hunger, and I was able to swallow all the food I brought, and I looked at the mushroom spores again.
Linciso was about to stretch out his hand, but he was suddenly stunned, the canvas wrap used to hold the scorpion eggs shrank significantly, and the medical plant grew like a madman, and was full of vitality.
When he opened the package, he exclaimed, "Mom, hell, is this a scorpion egg terminator?" β
I saw that many burrs stretched out from the root system of the medical plant and pierced the scorpion eggs. A whole bag of scorpion eggs is stirred into a paste and mixed with the soil to form a "bonsai".
"Huh? Could it be that these scorpion eggs react with the residual high-energy culture medium? Accidentally synthesized an even more powerful culture medium? β
Lin Xiso's mind was a little chaotic, the recent time was running, the happy life was at his fingertips, excitement and joy followed, the plant pulled out the fresh leaves in front of his eyes, and then grew and grew, and in the blink of an eye, it had grown to a height of more than a meter.
The growth of the emerald **** leaves was gratifying, and suddenly Lin Xisuo's little face collapsed, and the plants began to wither, including the medical leaves, which were also withering rapidly.
"No, how so? It's so hateful. Lin Xisuo flew up and pounced, trying to stop the spread of the wilt, the scorpion eggs mixed with the culture liquid did have a miraculous effect, but the extreme thing must be reversed, this plant could not bear the nutrients in it, so there was a scene in front of him.
After a long time, there was nothing to be done, Lin Xisuo wiped his sweat and sighed: "Empty joy, more than 60,000 credit coins are gone, fortunately I grabbed some medical leaves." β
After counting, only eight leaves remained, plus the one that had been placed in the shoe earlier, for a total of nine. Forgot to ask if this thing has an expiration date, if you use them all in a year, you will be unlucky, and you will be seriously injured ten times. Hide the nine leaves carefully, this is one of the best treasures, it can save lives at critical moments, and it is useful for others and yourself, so you can't be sloppy.
Lin Xisuo suffered many accidents, I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, but fortunately his nerves were relatively tough, and after eating a few mushroom spores, he put his unhappiness behind him.
Take out the map and study it carefully, the map is very important for each fungus collection family, wild mycelium is becoming more and more scarce, the industry competition is fierce, after thousands of years of exploration, each family has a completely different map, some families even use part of the map as a dowry, which is an extremely normal thing in the shipwreck village.
"Not good! Depending on the situation, you can only escape to the north, and the tent is left here as an illusion, and the bottles and cans can be exchanged for the remaining energy blocks after they go out. After this incident, I will definitely not be able to stay in the village, I have to find a chance to go around the surrounding oasis, the price of mushroom spores is no less than the premium mycelium, maybe I can get a hoverboard as a means of transportation, and when the time comes, I will do some small business, and life should be better. As for joining the Chamber of Commerce, I never thought that businessmen would dump each other abound, and if they wanted to, they would do it themselves. β
If it weren't for the helplessness, Lin Xisuo didn't want to leave the shipwreck village, after all, this was the place where he was born and raised, and he had never been anywhere except for the near and far crypts. The understanding of the outside world is thanks to the aerial photographs retained by the optical brain. I wanted to go out again when I became an adult, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that the time will be greatly advanced.
Three hours later, I set off again, ready to leave the place, and when I reached the entrance, I heard a faint noise.
"Little rabbit, did you run so far and scan the specific location? Nearly a third of our men were lost, and the broken device was out of order, so go back and tell my grandfather to settle accounts with Wood. β
"Young master, don't worry, we have been hanging behind, we can't be wrong."
"Well, what the hell is this place? Why is there no sign on the map? β
Lin Xisuo retreated, the village chief was serious this time, and when he heard the voice, he knew that it was the little grandson of the village chief, he was the first tyrant of the shipwreck village, and he liked to flirt with girls when he was less than ten years old, and he was usually bullied by him. It's not difficult to get out, but the other party is not familiar with the terrain when they first arrive, which is the advantage.
Quietly hibernating, waiting for more than ten minutes, the sand and rocks suddenly flew in the distance, and the scorpion king waved his thick arms and let out an angry roar.
"Roar" must be that these creatures in front of you have stolen the scorpion eggs and killed ......
