Chapter 258: Human-Faced Scorpion
As soon as the cold moonlight shone, a white light suddenly appeared on the scorpion's dark carapace, and Yang Li also took this opportunity to discover some abnormalities.
He rubbed his eyes, put the long-lost dead scorpion in front of his eyes, and examined it carefully.
I saw that the scorpion was very well developed like the insects they saw along the way.
With two hideous claws and a sharp tail, it is the size of an adult's palm.
Yang Li's gaze fell on its head, only to see that some white lines were faintly revealed there, twisted and knotted together, as if forming a strange portrait.
He looked at it intently, and suddenly felt a chill in his back!
"Isn't this a human face?" Yang Li exclaimed.
The white lines intersect to form a human face pattern.
It was a middle-aged man's face, and a few wrinkles faintly appeared in the corners of his eyes, all of which were so clearly visible and lifelike!
Seeing this scene, a string of information suddenly appeared in Yang Li's mind.
Human-faced scorpion: According to legend, in ancient times, there was a group of warlocks who raised Gu for a living. During a Gu cultivation, they accidentally discovered that scorpions can actually fight with people!
Later, this group of fanatical Gu cultivators began their own twisted Gu cultivation experiments, they put the captured villagers into a special Gu vessel, and then put in a huge amount of scorpions fed with essence blood.
These scorpions are bloodthirsty, and as soon as they see a living person, they immediately rush to it. They use their poisonous needles to make people incapacitated, then tear through the flesh with pliers, revealing the blood vessels within, and finally insert their mouthparts into them, greedily sucking blood.
In such a large number, in just a stick of incense, man becomes a dried corpse, without any moisture, and then the scorpions will lay eggs on these cicada-like skins.
The baby scorpions that hatch from these eggs are born with a white markings on their heads, and they are no longer afraid of sunlight like the evil creatures of the past, but prefer sunlight.
Of course, like their parents, these newborn scorpions live by sucking blood, and are extremely violent and more venomous.
It is said that the Gu Keeper also relied on these face scorpions to launch a worm infestation, but it failed under the suppression of a high-ranking person in the government, and the Human-faced Scorpion and the Gu Keeper have since disappeared without a trace.
"This thing is so cruel!" After reading the information in his mind, Rao is Yang Li was also abrupt in his heart.
He hurriedly shook off the corpse of the human-faced scorpion in his hand, and then suddenly his steps were stunned.
He thought of something even more terrifying!
As long as one bug appears, it means that there are countless more in his vicinity!
Thinking of this, Yang Li hurriedly raised the flashlight and shone it forward.
In this photo, I couldn't help but gasp and said, "There are too many of these things!" ”
I saw that the pale yellow earth in front of him suddenly began to surge like a tide, and only human-faced scorpions of different sizes were suddenly emerging from the ground at this time.
Dense like a tide, spreading on the ground.
"Damn, if you get caught up in this thing, I guess there won't be even any bones left!"
Seeing this, Yang Li hurriedly took a few steps back cautiously, and seeing that the scorpion group didn't seem to have discovered him, he immediately turned on his true qi and ran towards the camp with a puff of smoke.
Before the bonfire in the camp was extinguished, Yang Li quickly found his way and ran back.
As soon as he arrived at the camp, he immediately ran to the tents and woke everyone up.
Then he quickly introduced the situation to the group.
Jiang Zhenhao asked with a little sleepy eyes at this time: "Master, is this scorpion really as evil as you say, then I'm still quite curious, why don't I catch two of them in a while and take them back for research?" ”
Hearing his words that he didn't know whether to live or die, Yang Li immediately gave him a violent shudder and said, "Take it back to study?" I'm afraid that before you catch the scorpion, you will be taken back to the nest by the scorpion to lay eggs, and when that time comes, you can study it. ”
As soon as he heard about the spawning, Jiang Zhenhao suddenly trembled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, then I still won't study it." ”
Ah Wu patted his head at this time and said: "Now I finally understand, why such a clearing suddenly appeared in the jungle, it turns out that these guys did a good thing." ”
Yang Li nodded, "Yes, it is because they live here in groups that the surrounding ecological environment has been transformed into a desert-like area suitable for them to live in. ”
"So what do we do now?" Chen Zanghai asked worriedly.
As soon as he said this, Yang Li didn't answer him immediately, but grabbed everyone's shoulders and pressed them down.
I saw him put his finger in front of his lips, and said with a "shhhhh ”
Everyone nodded, lowered their bodies, and didn't dare to take a breath.
At this moment, Yang Li suddenly heard some movement in the woods on the side.
He hurriedly lifted his pupils and looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a white hare suddenly appear in the forest, as if it had come out to forage for food, and jumped towards the clearing.
"Look!" Yang Li pointed at the rabbit and said, "Let's see how that rabbit will cause the scorpion swarm to react." ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately held their breath and turned their attention to the rabbit.
As if he had no sense of the danger ahead, the rabbit was bouncing on the sand on both legs, his head still swaying from side to side, and his little red eyes looked around, searching for food around him.
And just when it was jumping, it was only less than twenty or thirty meters away from the scorpion group.
Yang Li clearly found that there was finally some abnormal movement in the scorpion group.
Through the vision of the divine pupil, he could clearly see that those scorpions, which were like black tides, turned around at the same time like neat and orderly soldiers the moment they felt the breath of rabbits.
The tail that hung high and had hideous spikes was also tense at this time.
It seemed that in the next moment, the sharp needle would pierce straight out and take the rabbit's life.
But Yang Li knew that they wouldn't do it yet.
Because the rabbit is clearly not yet fully within their range.
And the next moment, when the rabbit's front feet just stepped within ten meters of the scorpion group.
The scorpion swarm has finally moved!
The rolling tide of pitch-black scorpions swept in waves, covering the poor rabbit almost instantly.
After a brief pause of one to two seconds, they immediately retreated back into place.
At this time, everyone was surprised to find that the rabbit had become a white bone!
