After Xia Beifeng watched Shen Yunguila and Xu Yuan run towards the depths of the dim cave, he turned his head to stare at the seemingly calm river again. He took a half-step back, clenched the hilt of his sword in his hand, and assumed a defensive stance

A corpse was lying motionless by the river, unprepared for the impending danger around it.

The faint sound of water sounded in the empty cavern, and the river near the corpse gradually became a different wave, indicating that something was about to break through the water.

The thing appeared so quickly that it appeared next to the corpse in the blink of an eye, and it didn't make much noise when it burst out of the water, but only brought a splash down on the bank of the river beside it.

Sure enough, it was a scorpion.

Xia Beifeng blinked, staring at the black creature lying next to the corpse, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

In the upper temple before, he had a guess. Thousands of years ago, people believed that the gods and demons that appeared in myths were nothing more than common creatures with great power. The things under the feet of the female statue in the temple look very much like some kind of insects, and there are hidden wells under the floor tiles, and the cave on the lower level is like an enlarged version of the scorpion hole, and there is even a ready-made water source such as an underground river.

The scorpion was about two meters long, its tail was cocked high, half of its body was still submerged in water, its body was covered with a layer of fine hair, and the armor on its back was shining like oil. Its eight eyes were staring at Xia Beifeng in unison, and it was also a posture of being ready to fight desperately, confronting Xia Beifeng.

"This ......" Xia Beifeng thought about how to call the scorpion spirit in front of him, but didn't come up with any results, so he simply gave up the foreshadowing link and went directly to the topic, "You calm down, let's talk." ”

The scorpion lifted its two forelimbs and spread its scorpion pincers.

"I won't grab food from you, you can do whatever you want, I'll just watch from the side." Xia Beifeng took two steps back, stretched out his free right hand to the scorpion, and said friendly, "You see, I have no malicious intentions, let's coexist peacefully." ”

The scorpion's eyes moved slightly, as if he understood Xia Beifeng's words, and also took two steps back, and the torso part of his body had all returned to the river, leaving only his head still exposed to the air, paying attention to Xia Beifeng's every move.

Do you think I don't know that your eyes are useless? Why do you keep staring at me, do you put psychological pressure on me?

Xia Beifeng sighed, closed his eyes, and raised his foot to extinguish the fire beside him. The cave that had lost its light source suddenly darkened, and Xia Beifeng reopened his eyes and stared at the scorpion in front of him.

A man and a scorpion continued to confront each other in the dark, both waiting for the other party to move first.

After a few minutes, the scorpion tentatively moved forward a little. Seeing this, Xia Beifeng took another step back, still holding his left hand to face the scorpion, fantasizing in his heart that he could release a shockwave or something like that as soon as he raised his hand, he would blow the monster on the opposite side into the sky in minutes.

Of course, Xia Beifeng didn't know this kind of magical skill, he could only do his best to restrain his hostility, on the surface he put on a harmless appearance, and secretly still held the knife in his hand.

The scorpion's IQ should not be very high, and after a stalemate with Xia Beifeng for so long, he finally didn't resist the temptation of food, and when Xia Beifeng retreated again, he stepped forward and grabbed the corpse on the shore with lightning speed and dragged it into the water.

Xia Beifeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, put down his right arm that had been raised in front of his chest, and relaxed.

He shook his numb arm and watched as the scorpion in the water began to eat slowly, convinced that it wouldn't hurt him for the time being.

That's fine, I'll find a way to deal with the corpse, and I'm not a person I know anyway.

Xia Beifeng sat on the ground, stuck the knife into the wet sand, and took out the cigarette case. The moment the lighter was lit, the scorpion in the river cocked its tail again, half of its body left the water, and stared at the summer north wind without moving.

Xia Beifeng immediately turned off the lighter lid in his hand, raised his hands high, and showed the scorpion that he was innocent.

After a while, the scorpion lowered its tail again and retreated.

Lao Tzu has let you eat well, you are good, you don't even let me smoke, do you know what is a courtesy! It's a beast.

Xia Beifeng put down his hands depressedly, thinking in his heart that when he got home, he must eat a roasted scorpion to vent his anger.

Of course, the beast would not understand Xia Beifeng's anger, it only felt that the heat source in the hands of the humans on the shore had disappeared, and then slowly retracted into the water again to eat.

Scorpions have always been very slow to eat, and it will probably take a long time, so it seems that they can only wait here slowly.

Xia Beifeng was bored playing with the lighter in his hand, thinking about when the scorpion would be finished, and soon his thoughts flew to other places.

I don't know where Uncle ran away with that little ghost, there shouldn't be a problem, Uncle himself basically doesn't have to worry as long as he doesn't encounter things "over there", it's Xu Yuan's little ghost, it's just more than enough to succeed, and he likes to squeak and scream when he has nothing to do, maybe he was exposed when he was not discovered.

But Uncle should be watching him and not letting him make trouble.

The habit of the scorpion should be in groups, and now there is only one here, and I don't see the others, which means that the scorpion group is gone, and only this one is left? There is still a group of scorpion spirits that are about the same...... So where did all the other scorpions go? How many years has this scorpion been in this hole, what does it usually eat, or does it no longer need to eat, it just has a mouth.

What is the relationship between the girl in the temple and the scorpion? Did the girl kill a scorpion or drive it underground to bless the people, or was she a scorpion herself?

And the man with the gun, who has not yet appeared, whether he is friend or foe, one of the foreigners or someone else we don't know. Where did Zhao Yang and Song Yuanshan go? Is Zhao Yang still alive now? Is Song Yuanshan really the murderer who killed Lu Mingsen?

Who is that mysterious princess?

It seems that what happened here can only be asked when we see the princess herself. Maybe even the princess didn't know what was going on.

Xia Beifeng rearranged the speculation in his mind, but he was still not sure if he really knew something. But it's not worried, he never thinks that these gods and ghosts can really be much more powerful than people, and he naturally has to respect respectable existences, as for the rest, even if he can't beat it, he can still run.

The scorpion finally failed to eat a good meal peacefully, just after the corpse had eaten a small half, it suddenly threw down the food in its mouth, and the whole thing ran to the shore, stopped half a meter away from Xia Beifeng's side, quickly turned around the river facing it, and put on a vigilant posture.

Seeing the scorpion's movements, Xia Beifeng also pulled out the knife inserted in the sand, arched one leg, and half-knelt on the ground, guarding against the enemy who appeared out of nowhere.

Of course, it may not be the enemy "person" who came.

Xia Beifeng looked at the other scorpion that came out of the water, and then looked at the one next to him, a little unsure of the current situation.

What's the matter, these two are not in a group, and they are here to grab food?

The new scorpion did not snatch the tattered corpse as Xia Beifeng expected, it ran straight towards the scorpion next to Xia Beifeng, and did not even stop by the corpse.

The two scorpions quickly fought together, holding each other's scorpion pincers back and forth a few times, seemingly fighting fiercely, but in fact neither of them took advantage, they were just testing each other, and they didn't use the real weapon of the scorpion-tail.

The new scorpion is a little smaller than the other, and the color is lighter, and the shape of the tail seems to be of different species.

Sure enough, it's not a group, but I don't know if this newcomer can communicate well.

Xia Beifeng made room for them to fight, thinking about what to do after they finished fighting.

He wasn't a particularly likable animal, and this time he just succeeded by luck, although he also wanted to get along with the new scorpion, but he was afraid that the thing would have already identified him as a gang with the previous scorpion, and it wouldn't leave him any chance at all.

There was a sudden sound of wind in his ears, Xia Beifeng reflexively raised his hand to block it with the knife, and when he heard the sound of Jin Ge intersecting, he also felt a huge pressure from the knife.

It looks like we can't get along well, and this thing still comes in pairs.

Xia Beifeng looked at the other scorpion in front of him, it seemed that the thing that had just touched the tip of the knife was the tail of this thing, and it was now constantly shaking its long tail, as if it had decided to make Xia Beifeng its dinner.

When you go back, you must eat three meals of roasted scorpions to relieve your anger!

Xia Beifeng took the time to glance at his blade, and suddenly the fire rose from his heart to the guts, and he wanted to dismantle the beast in front of him now to relieve his hatred, completely forgetting the plan he had decided when he saw the first scorpion just now, to reserve his physical strength to deal with the man with the gun.

His knife was shattered with a sesame-sized blade.

Xia Beifeng was originally half-kneeling on the ground, but at this time, he rolled around, stood up on the right side of the scorpion, and kicked the bottom of the scorpion's tail with his leg.

The scorpion's body trembled, and it didn't even move its position. Xia Beifeng felt that his whole leg was a little numb because of the shock of the scorpion's hard shell.

Is this thing so hard, it seems that the knife is useless.

Xia Beifeng moved his numb right leg slightly, and swept the scorpion's whole body. The memories in my mind quickly rummaged through, sorting out how many weaknesses there were in this thing, and where it was best to start with these things that could be used.

The scorpion on the opposite side was also stunned, probably because he didn't expect that the human in front of him, who should be easy to deal with, would dare to take the initiative to provoke, and began to rethink his danger.

Xia Beifeng didn't give the other party time to think at all, he felt that after his right leg eased up, his toes touched the ground, and a harrier turned over, and when it fell, it stepped on the back of the scorpion, pressing the scorpion downward.

The scorpion reacted very quickly when it was attacked, and quickly shook its body from side to side, trying to shake off the human on its back.

Xia Beifeng only stopped on the scorpion's back, and slashed on the scorpion's back with the tip of the knife in his hand, and when the scorpion shook and wanted to get rid of him, he had already turned over and jumped on the ground on the other side of the scorpion again.

It seems that it really doesn't work to hit hard with a knife, so I can only try to cut the joint.

Xia Beifeng recalled the knife he had just slashed on the scorpion's back, but it didn't hurt it in the slightest, but only left a shallow white mark on its hard shell.

The scorpion shook twice, then re-posed, and as if sensing that the human in front of it was difficult to deal with, it took a few steps back and raised its forelimbs, as if ready to pinch his neck at any moment.

Xia Beifeng also took two steps back, he squatted sideways into a lunge, stretched out his left hand, palmed up, and hooked his fingers at the scorpion, full of provocative gestures, almost a robe for him to tease around.

Hello everyone, I'm the divider****************************

I saw the news this morning that someone had robbed a grave with a metal detector, and I looked at my outline and decided to cut out the whole volume

Later, I told my friends about it, and I said that you can use zongzi to fight drones

I think he has a point, and I'm starting to think about the feasibility of this

After discussing with my friends whether the drone will be interfered with by unknown electromagnetic waves

Jiyou said that in supernatural novels, isn't it the default that high-tech doesn't work, and even black technology doesn't work

I was shocked, thinking to myself, how do you know that I still have to write black technology!

However, in the end, the third volume is tentatively written about the story of drones vs. zombie kings...... But if no one really reads the first volume, it's possible to get out of the hole

Then I happily opened the web and searched for drones...... Didn't think of an update until now

Kneeling down again Xie Ki-you's recommendation vote, although he didn't look at it
