Don't just talk about the neighborhood, there are red tails around us, which means that all of them are giant scorpions.
I can't count how many scorpions there are, but they are dense and make me feel how helpless we are in the middle of it.
I was stupid, and I was still thinking about what medicine could drive them away, Jiang Shaoyan gave an order, saying that while these giant scorpions had not all come out of the sand, we should flee quickly.
We didn't want to follow the woman's affairs, let alone investigate any mysterious footprints, so we threw off our strides, took out as fast as we could, and ran over the way we came.
This time as a bandit, we were all wearing armor, but the shoes were just ordinary goods, and I couldn't care about how to get off my feet when I ran away like this.
When I stepped on the tail of a giant scorpion, I felt the soles of my shoes bulge suddenly, and if I hadn't withdrawn the strength to land in time, I would have been stabbed in by the scorpion's tail and poked into the soles of my feet.
Their red tails are not ornaments, I believe they are highly poisonous, and they are very likely to kill people instantly.
We held back our strength and fled for a hundred and eighty meters, the situation was very optimistic, none of us were stung, and we immediately left the area infested by the giant scorpion.
But a "bright" red landscape suddenly appeared in front of me. It's all made up of giant scorpions, and I really doubt how this bug can have such a high IQ that it will automatically come together and become the last level for us to escape to safety.
I looked left and right, and the red line stretched very long. We can bet, try to run along the red line, find the end and get it around. It's just that this kind of gambling is too risky. We're going to have to delay a little longer, and when these giant scorpions crawl out of the surface and rush over, we'll be on our backs.
Jiang Shaoyan grabbed me and told the iron donkey to give it a try.
The iron donkey came up with a strong force, and also wanted to use the original method to rush over in stride.
I think this method is feasible, the scorpion has no wings, as long as he runs fast, the scorpion will not have time to climb on him. As long as the feet are not pierced, what can they do with the iron donkey?
But we all overlooked one thing, and we can't really be blamed for it, the iron donkey rushed forward, and the giant scorpions all flicked their tails.
The giant scorpion in the front row, the poisonous tip at the end of the red tail, actually left at once.
This is very visually impactful, with red dots and a running iron donkey shooting over the sky.
The iron donkey has no shield in front of him, and there is no way to defend it in all aspects. As soon as he compromised, he covered his face and stepped back.
The charge was declared a failure.
Jiang Shaoyan and I also hurriedly came to his side to check his "injury". The iron donkey had a few red poison tips hanging on it, but fortunately it didn't puncture the skin.
The iron donkey was not convinced, and said that he wanted to try again. Jiang Shaoyan persuaded him.
We were forced to stop where we were, and no one spoke, all trying to figure out what to do.
When I ran away just now, I kept holding the magic tripod, maybe because I ran fast, and I bumped and bumped, so that most of the golden beetles took off.
Originally, we should be wary of golden beetles, afraid that they will bite or something, but we are troubled by the danger of giant scorpions, and we divert our energy.
I really didn't expect that at such a critical moment, the golden beetle would help a lot.
When they arrived, they rushed towards the giant scorpions. This is a battle between insects and insects, and I don't know what the golden beetle can do to kill a giant scorpion wrapped in thick armor, and I don't know how the giant scorpion can sting a golden beetle to death.
But their death has given us hope again.
The giant scorpion focused all his energy on the golden beetle, Jiang Shaoyan shouted a good opportunity, and led the two of us to rush towards the giant scorpion defense line.
I was under a lot of pressure and a little blind, but I walked very carefully, and I had a vague but frightened feeling that I had crossed this danger.
After I got down to earth, I sweated a lot, and I didn't care about wiping it, and fled with them.
We ran out for a mile, and finally Jiang Shaoyan shouted to rest, and we all sat on the ground panting.
I kept holding the magic tripod and didn't let go, and then I was helpless to find that there were very few golden beetles in the magic tripod, only a few dozen.
The other bugs that fought with the giant scorpion didn't fly back at all. I can't help but feel gloomy when I think about it, those golden beetles are probably all finished.
I also suddenly had a sigh of emotion, the sacrifices are all the warriors in the golden beetle, and the ones who survive in the end are all cowards hiding in the ding.
At this time, I didn't want to be too entangled in the bugs, so I also sealed the mouth with tin foil, which can be regarded as retaining the last bit of "tinder".
Jiang Shaoyan took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and the red dot had changed.
It was no longer in the same position where it had stayed, but in another position farther away from us, where it flickered and flickered.
This shows that the woman's nest is finally here.
It can be seen that Jiang Shaoyan wanted to take the two of us over to investigate, but after hesitating a few times, he sighed and turned off his mobile phone.
I think he made the right decision, after all, I still shudder when I think back to the giant scorpions I just met, who knows what else will happen on this road? We really can't complete the task with the equipment we have now.
Jiang Shaoyan said that we should go back to the bandit village first, and everything will be considered in the long run.
Then we set off, walking very slowly, so that in the middle of the night we came to the village.
It was quiet, and we had planned to sneak back to our accommodation and sleep with our heads down. But suddenly, someone blew a whistle. For a while, many people rushed out from various hiding places.
This situation happened to us when we first came to the village. I have to say, I really admire these bandits, Jiang Shaoyan and Iron Donkey are such sensitive people, they have been twice without discovering their hidden signs in advance.
Amat took the lead, and the bandits surrounded us.
Amat didn't look polite to us at all, and even said a few hello words with a sneer.
We all realized something was wrong. Jiang Shaoyan could still suppress his temperament and asked, "Boss, what do you mean by this?" ”
Amat snorted and asked, "What do you mean?" Then he said, "The more I think about it tonight, the more I suspect that there is a traitor in our gang, otherwise we wouldn't have been so badly defeated last day?" But I didn't really guess it would be the three of you. ”
The more he spoke, the more angry he became, snorting, and making a gesture.
I don't know what this gesture means, but I can feel that it must be despising or even insulting us.
No one said anything about the bandits, they all leaned on our side. It's going to be the rhythm of hand-to-hand combat.
Jiang Shaoyan couldn't find a better reason to explain anything, especially when we came back from outside the village, and we were caught by these people.
He whispered to me and the iron donkey, "I'm going to do it, and I'm going to arrest these people and interrogate them." ”
I don't think there's a way to do it.
When it comes to fighting, I definitely can't, but I don't have to worry, with Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey here, it won't be a problem to deal with these little cub bandits.
Jiang Shaoyan separated from the iron donkey, and clamped me one after the other. Looking at the posture, they will both have to block one side alone for a while, Jiang Shaoyan raised his fingers, ready to use the kung fu of the point, and the iron donkey also showed the iron palm.
No one of those bandits rushed over, and after a stalemate, Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey acted first. They sprang out like arrows.
I found that we underestimated these people, or rather, when we joined the gang, we had reservations in terms of strength, and they never showed their family background.
There were two bandits who were facing Jiang Shaoyan and were still close together, and suddenly moved.
As if by magic, the two of them shook off their hands and held a net together. The material of this net is very ordinary, but it is very light, and the two of them are like fishing, and they are sprinkled at Jiang Shaoyan.
Jiang Shaoyan didn't expect this to happen, plus the speed at which the net was cast quickly, and by the time he wanted to retreat, it was already too late.
A net was firmly fastened around him. He wanted to writhe a few times to break free, but he twisted tighter and tighter, and finally let his body go into the net instead.
People are in the net, and it is difficult to stand or walk, and these two bandits also called a few helpers, and they pulled together, making Jiang Shaoyan slide to the ground.
The Iron Donkey suffered a similar attack. This is good, but after a while, all the advantages I think I think are gone, and they are all captured except for myself.
I was so anxious that I didn't know what to do for a while, and I wanted to save Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey.
I didn't have time to think too much, so I finally chose Jiang Shaoyan. I had a machete on me, thinking that as long as I could rush over in time, cut the fishing net, and rescue him, especially Jiang Shaoyan was defenseless, and he really wanted to get out, and next time he wanted to trap him with a fishing net, it would definitely not be so easy.
But as soon as I rushed towards Jiang Shaoyan, there were two bandits on my left and right sides who touched my waist together, took out the rope and threw it at me.
I remembered the pole, but it was used to lasso horses, and these two bandits actually used ropes to lassoe people.
My neck tightened one after another, and they also pulled the rope back in time. This strangled me, and I rolled my eyes a little for a moment.
I knew I had to fall, or we would all be caught. I was also completely confused, there was no good way, and I subconsciously wanted to rush to a bandit's side, even if I scratched it, it could be regarded as resisting.
I danced with my hands, but my neck was pulled by two ropes, and I couldn't go wherever I wanted.
The two bandits, who were also experienced masters, shouted together, tightened their ropes and shook them.
I was swept away by a force, and I felt my body twist from side to side a few times, and finally I lost my balance and lost oxygen, and I fell to the ground with a pop.
I was in despair, thinking that this mission was over for the two of us, and even whether or not we could save our lives was in question.
But a small accident occurred. I fell like this, and I was pressed to the place where the magic tripod was hanging on my waist.
This is purely an inch of energy, and because I didn't seal the magic tripod too tightly just now, the tin foil was squeezed like this, revealing a gap.
The golden beetles that were hiding in the ding all flew out buzzingly.
Before, I said that they were cowards, and they must not be convinced, but now they are threatening and rushing towards these bandits.
These bandits have fishing nets and ropes, but they don't have fly swatters, and a few of them wave their knives a few times, but how can they cut them.
In addition, it should be said that most of the bandits did not know the goods, but Amat was very strange, when the golden beetle appeared, he was stunned for a moment, and then sat on the ground in fright
