Chapter 183: Poisonous Smoke

Fengyun didn't wait long, and the time for the blood scorpion to wake up was much shorter than he had imagined.

Less than half an hour after he applied the powder, the body of the wrinkled cow changed.

Its skin was like a windswept surface of the water, first undulating and becoming more and more pronounced, apparently the blood scorpion had woken up from its slumber.

"I didn't expect the blood scorpion to wake up so quickly. If those blood scorpions hadn't suddenly retreated, we would have been in vain. ”

Fengyun finally understood at this time.

What Mulanozhi told him not long ago was not for his safety, not to let him take risks, and deliberately exaggerated, but really didn't leave them too much time.

"This time it's really faster, it should be that there are more blood scorpions that have penetrated into the body of the wrinkled cow, and there is less flesh and blood to distribute, and the time to sleep is shorter. ”

Obviously, the speed at which the blood scorpion woke up also surprised Mulanzhi.

But fortunately, everything that needs to be done is done.

Fengyun's gaze moved back and forth over the wrinkled cow, and finally stopped at its mouth and nose.

He already saw it.

Although the blood scorpions moved more vigorously after waking up, they did not mean to break through the skin of the wrinkled cow and crawl out directly, and they should still crawl out through the passage they entered, that is, the mouth and nose of the wrinkled cow.

After two or three minutes, the head of the first blood scorpion peeked out of the nostrils of the wrinkled cow.

Fengyun was finally relieved.

Originally, he was worried that the blood scorpion would hide in the belly of the wrinkled cow when it smelled the medicinal powder he had sprinkled, so it would be a little troublesome to deal with it.

At this time, he also understood why the medicinal powder made by the witch had no obvious taste, and it was probably to prevent the blood scorpion from smelling it.

The first blood scorpion did not crawl out all at once. Instead, he stuck his head out and looked around, as if he was looking at his surroundings.

"Will it come out?"

Fengyun looked at it with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

The big crater where it is now is clearly very different from the rocky beach, will it retreat because of the change in the environment?

As it turned out, he was overthinking.

It just looked at it, and crawled out of the wrinkled cow's nose.

Fengyun looked at it. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Its current appearance had changed markedly from the blood scorpion he had seen on the rocky beach.

The most changed place in it is its belly.

When Fengyun first saw the living blood scorpion in the rocky beach, their bodies were relatively well-proportioned, but this blood scorpion crawling out of the wrinkled cow's nostrils had a big belly.

Compared to the original, it is nearly ten times larger, which is quite exaggerated.

Looking at the way it dragged its big belly and crawled clumsily on the ground, it no longer had the horror that Mulanzhi told in Fengyun's heart, and some were just funny.

Because the blood scorpion's big belly was too conspicuous, Fengyun's attention was basically attracted by it.

It also allows him to see what's going on inside it.

Because its belly is so big, it becomes a little transparent. Look closely, you can really see the inside of it.

It was filled with liquid, red, dark red, and was supposed to be the product of its initial digestion after devouring the flesh of a wrinkled cow.

After the big-bellied blood scorpion crawled out of the body of the wrinkled cow, it did not stop for a moment, and crawled directly towards the nearest pit wall.

At this time, Fengyun also understood. Why did it emerge from the body of a wrinkled cow as soon as it discovered its environment? It turned out that I wanted to find my way home as soon as possible.

In a hurry to leave, the pot-bellied blood scorpion came into contact with the medicinal powder sprinkled in the pit by Fengyun without the slightest accident.

Fengyun's eyes opened a little, and he wanted to see what kind of effect the witch's medicinal powder would have on the blood scorpion.

The moment the big-bellied blood scorpion came into contact with the medicinal powder, it seemed to be petrified and motionless.

"That's it, it's too powerful, isn't it?"

Looking at the motionless blood scorpion, Fengyun couldn't help but admire the witch.

"Cloud. ”

Fengyun's ears heard Mulanzhi's voice. However, he felt her hand grasp his arm and pull him back.

"Miss Laneige, what's wrong?"

Fengyun turned his head to look at Mulanzhi, he didn't understand why she was pulling him.

"I think we'd better take a step back. ”

Mulanzhi's expression looked a little strange.

"Why?"

Magnoidie did not answer, in fact. There was no need for her to answer.

Sneer......

The next moment he asked, he heard a sound similar to a leak, followed by a pungent but familiar smell that entered his nostrils.

Fengyun followed the sound and immediately discovered the source of the sound, which was the pot-bellied blood scorpion that he thought was dead.

At this point, it looks very different from before.

If I had to use one word to describe it, Fengyun felt that the squirting group should be the most appropriate.

All the holes in its body were squirting dark red liquid, all from its big belly.

However, the pungent smell that Fengyun smelled did not come from the red liquid.

It comes from the venom ejected from its tail pin.

The color of the venom was originally colorless, but after leaving the blood scorpion's body, its color quickly darkened, turning bright yellow/color, and there was a tendency to change to red.

However, what really caught Fengyun's attention was not the change in color, but the changes that occurred after it left the blood scorpion's body.

In a very short period of time, it changed from a liquid state to a gaseous state, and it continued to expand and flow in the air as if it were alive.

In addition, it is very eye-catching, and the color is relatively similar to that of flames, which is really impactful.

"Stand back. The venom of the blood scorpion is very sticky, and once it touches it, it will adhere to the skin and be difficult to remove. ”

Mulanozhi saw the rapid expansion of the gas formed by the venom ejected by the blood scorpion, and her face immediately changed, and she pulled Fengyun's arm vigorously to pull him away from the edge of the pit.

Fengyun didn't insist anymore and left the pit with Mulanzhi.

It wasn't until he was close to the edge of the pit that Mulanozhi let go of the palm that grabbed Fengyun's arm.

"There's no need to stay this far, right?"

Fengyun felt that Mulanozhi had made some fuss.

The venom of the blood scorpion has the characteristics of vaporization and expansion. But after all, it is not big, and the venom that can be sprayed is limited, and how much it can expand if it expands.

"You'll know the outcome in a moment. Maybe we'll have to go back. ”

Mulanzhi didn't say much, and looked like time would prove it.

It turns out that Mulanzhi does have the confidence to do so.

As soon as Fengyun stood still, the sound of air leakage coming from the direction of the big pit suddenly became dense, and in the end, it was even more connected.

Later. Fengyun, who was so far away from the big pit, felt that the sound was a little harsh.

Along with the sound, there was also a poisonous smoke from the blood scorpion's venom.

From a distance, the crater seemed to have turned into a volcano that had begun to erupt, and bright yellow poisonous smoke continued to emerge from it.

The amount of poisonous smoke increased, and it gathered together, and the color became darker and brighter.

At first glance, there is indeed an illusion of being on fire.

At this time, Fengyun also discovered a characteristic of toxic smoke, that is, it has strong stability.

It was windy, not very strong, but it was enough to blow away the smoke.

The smoke showed no signs of being blown away. It's just that the part near the upwind outlet expands more slowly.

Looking at the rapidly expanding poisonous smoke, and then thinking of the toxicity of the poisonous smoke that Mulanozhi once told him, Fengyun was already able to understand Mulanozhi's nervousness.

Caught in the encirclement of the blood scorpion, and not being able to get out in time, once encountering their venom attack, it will indeed be an extremely terrible thing, and even lose your life directly.

Fengyun and Mulan Zhi don't have to retreat for the time being, they are standing upwind. With the expansion speed of the poisonous smoke, it will be impossible to reach them for a while and a half.

"Miss Laneige. How are we going to collect the blood scorpions?"

Fengyun was a little curious.

He wondered how she could break through the expanding poisonous smoke and get the blood scorpion from the pit.

"We don't have to do anything. Just wait. ”

"Wait?"

Mulanzhi's answer was indeed beyond Fengyun's expectations.

Originally, he hoped that she would come up with some way to avoid being harmed by the poisonous smoke.

But on second thought, he believed her.

If she, more accurately, the witch had a way of not being harmed by the smoke, she wouldn't have given those painful examples when she explained the blood scorpion to him.

"The venom of the blood scorpion is terrible though. But it also has an Achilles' heel, which is the fear of high temperatures. Now the weather is good, the sun is strong, and it won't be long before the sun shines. Its toxicity should be almost gone. ”

"The blood scorpion is also fried to remove its residual poison?"

Listening to Mulanozhi say that the venom of the blood scorpion was afraid of high temperatures, Fengyun couldn't help but think of the situation when the blood scorpion was fried in the hall of the medicine building.

"Yes. When dispensing medicine, it is necessary to ensure that the residual poison of the blood scorpion has been removed, otherwise the prepared damage will not only not have the desired effect, but will also cause great harm to the user. ”

"If the user has suffered an internal injury and needs to take the injury medication, the consequences will be even more serious, and it is very likely to lead to the death of the user. ”

"The consequences are truly dire. ”

Fengyun very much agrees with Mulanzhi's statement.

"Therefore, the people in the tribe who are responsible for handling blood scorpions are specially trained, and they need to be tested again and again before they can have the qualifications to fry blood scorpions. ”

In the small talk between the two people, time is lost little by little.

In this process, Fengyun has not given up his attention to toxic smoke.

The situation is indeed as Magnozhi said, the blazing sun really has a lot of damage to it.

After its maximum concentration and brightness, it begins to decay.

Both the intensity and color are slowly fading.

At the same time, its stability became worse and worse, the wind began to threaten it, and the outermost parts began to be blown away.

Under the attack of the wind, the poisonous smoke is like an onion, which gets smaller and smaller the more it is peeled, and finally it can only shrink into a large pit.

"Alright. We can get over. ”

Mulan Zhi was also paying attention to the situation of the poisonous smoke, and seeing this, she spoke and walked towards the big pit.

Fengyun followed, curious about what the pit had become now. (To be continued.) )
