Chapter 723: Luck

Ye Yunyang realized the importance of two ropes, in the last section of the road, three or four people would fall every minute, and the others would struggle to pull the ropes, so that those who fell would not roll down the mountain.

He himself was careful enough, but he still fell seven or eight times, Li Hao was the worst, plus the one just now, it was already the fourteenth time, and his nose and face were swollen.

Everyone had exhausted all their strength, the movement of their legs was very mechanical, and the only thing that supported them was faith.

No one spoke, because they didn't even have the strength to open their mouths and make a sound.

Finally, Teng Xing'an was the first to reach the top, he took a deep breath, turned around and encouraged everyone: "The last step, work hard!"

With that, he grabbed the rope and pulled it up.

In fact, he did not exert any strength, but everyone felt a great help, and his steps became stronger, and the second person successfully reached the top, then the third, and then the fourth, and finally the last person.

The team members lined up at the top of the mountain, feeling the warm breeze from the south slope, and after a while, some people turned around and looked at the glacier that had climbed all the way, and their hearts were full of emotion.

Ye Yunyang also turned around, he wanted to shout loudly to express his pride in conquering the mountains, but he opened his mouth, but in the end he still couldn't shout, he was too tired.

"Haha, we'...... It worked. Teng Xingan said while gasping for air.

Although this is not the first time he has led his team over a large iceberg, the joy of success has not diminished, and as a captain, there is nothing more proud than leading all the team members to climb the glacier safely.

Mei Yu and Ye Yunyang glanced at each other, and both of them showed proud expressions on their faces at the same time.

Mi Yun bent over and gasped for breath, he turned to look at the south slope and said, "Is this the land of red sand, it is really red, like a flame." ”

Teng Xing'an said with a smile: "Down the mountain is the land of red sand, there are still more than ten hours away, but the next road is very easy to walk, everyone rests on the spot, eats and drinks to replenish physical strength, sets off two hours later, camps in the middle of the mountain, rests for one night and then rushes." ”

He said that he was halfway up the mountain, but in fact he had only walked a dozen miles down, so he ordered a tent to be set up.

Everyone had a full meal, and then they began to fall asleep, and everyone was extremely tired.

The next morning, the team members woke up refreshed, and yesterday's fatigue was swept away.

Ye Yunyang yawned and walked out of the tent, followed behind with Li Hao, who was seriously sleep-deprived, he glanced at everyone and said with a wry smile: "Are they too strong, or are we too weak, why have the hunters recovered their strength, you and I still don't look like they haven't slept enough." ”

Ye Yunyang stretched his waist and said, "Of course, because they are too strong and used to hunting activities, compared to them, we are simply weak." ”

Mei Yu came over from the other side and said, "It seems that you two are not resting well." ”

"It's not bad, it's that I haven't slept enough. Ye Yunyang retorted.

After breakfast, the team departed.

Towards the end of the afternoon, they came to the edge of the Red Sands, and at this time yesterday everyone was wearing a large thick cotton jacket, but now it was a real summer dress, and the waistcoat and the big trousers felt hot.

"Red Sand Scorpion Sexual Thief, everyone should be extremely careful, distribute leggings and barbed spears. Teng Xing'an ordered.

Each person was given a set of leggings and a spear, the shape of the leggings was extremely peculiar, composed of three layers, the innermost layer was made of soft animal skin, the thickness was about one centimeter, the middle layer was a half-inch thick hard alloy, silver-gray, and the outermost layer was an inch-thick ordinary metal, the main component was black iron, plus some ductile metals such as corundum.

The leggings of Ye Yunyang and the three of them were brand new, and the hunters used old ones, which were covered with small pits of different depths.

The length of the leg guards is from the ankle to the knee, divided into left and right halves, tied with fine hemp rope, Teng Xing'an requires that it must be tied strongly, without leaving any gaps, the tail needle of the red sand scorpion is extremely sharp, and any gap may be penetrated by the tail needle.

After the leggings are tied, the soles and uppers made of the same material are attached to the underside of the leggings through thin holes, so that the feet below the knee and the feet are protected.

Red sand scorpions hide under the sand, they can go without breathing air for a long time, and they can't see anything from the surface, but once someone steps on the sand, even the slightest pressure, they can clearly feel it, and then attack at the first time - the tail pin suddenly drills out of the sand without any warning, and attacks the intruder's legs and feet with lightning speed, which is impossible to prevent.

The purpose of the leggings is to defend against the attack of the scorpion's tail needle, which pierces the top layer of black iron and cannot be pulled out for a moment and a half, so that the hunter can determine the scorpion's hiding position and use a spear with a barb to pierce it into the sand and capture it.

Although he was fully armed, logically speaking, he didn't have to worry about the attack of the Red Sand Scorpion, but Teng Xing'an still took out a bottle of antidote pill and distributed it to everyone, saying: "Once you are pricked by the scorpion tail needle, swallow the pill immediately, and then withdraw it as quickly as possible, although the scorpion venom is not as good as the two-headed snake, it can also be fatal, everyone should be more careful." ”

"Understood. Everyone responded in unison.

The team is scattered, and the Red Sand Scorpion Hunt is not suitable for group action, but is more vulnerable to attack, so it is necessary to break up the whole and fight separately.

Ye Yunyang nodded at Mei Yu and Li Hao, and walked to keep up with Teng Xing'an's pace, Li Hao chose to go to the left, Mi Yun stayed by Mei Yu's side, and the two walked forward four meters apart.

Jingling!

A scorpion tail poked out of the sand, topped with a sharp tail needle with an arc, and quickly stabbed into a hunter's leggings.

The hunter did not panic, but raised his spear with both hands, and stabbed it a little to the left of his feet, and the spearhead more than a foot long sank into the red sand, and he felt that the spearhead pierced some kind of hard shell, and he was happy.

Instead of pulling the spear out, he continued to push it down until the spearhead was nearly three feet deep in the sand.

At this time, the scorpion tail needle pierced on his leggings automatically retracted, and his movements were no longer as agile as when he attacked just now.

He smiled, and pulled out the spear with both hands at the same time, and with the churning sand, a crimson scorpion with a length of nearly one meter appeared, its chest and abdomen were pierced by the spear, and its body was stuck between the two barbs, vigorously waving two scorpion pincers, one large and one small, and the tail needles were pierced into the spearhead one after another, making a clanging sound.

"Yes, the first one is an adult red sand scorpion. Teng Xingan said with a smile.

The hunter was also very happy: "Yes, today I was lucky to catch the first scorpion." ”

He took the spear into his left hand, held it diagonally, and with his right hand reached behind his back, he pulled out a gourd hammer from his belt, picked it up and smashed it on the scorpion's head.

Bang!

The scorpion head was directly smashed flat, and he died with a whimper.

The hunter dealt with it on the spot, first cut off the venom gland behind the tail needle with a dagger, then pulled out the tail needle, tied the scorpion pincers with hemp rope and carried it on his back, and continued to look for the next red sand scorpion.

While!

The impact came from the ankle area, Li Hao hurriedly lowered his head, and when he saw the red scorpion tail and the black tail needle, he was excited, raised his spear high and stabbed it down.

At the same time, the scorpion's tail quickly retracted, and he pulled out his spear, but it was empty, and he was dumbfounded on the spot.

Teng Xing'an shook his head and said, "You made a mistake in judgment, the spear failed to pierce the scorpion's body, it realized the danger, withdrew the tail needle and fled." ”

After saying this, he added: "The Red Sand Scorpion is good at moving in the sand, and its speed is no less than that of us running on flat ground, and once it escapes, it will never be able to catch up again." ”

"It's a shame. Li Hao said with great regret.

Ye Yun raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly, looking at the sand in front of him.

"What are you doing, why don't you move forward?" Li Hao asked.

"I think there's a scorpion hiding in front of me," he said. ”

Li Hao glared: "Don't be kidding, Senior Teng said that you can't see the clues on the surface, how do you know that there is something underneath?"

"Sixth sense. Ye Yunyang still stared at it intently.

"I don't believe it. Li Hao shook his head and said, "If you take a few steps further, you will know, if there is a red sand scorpion below, it will definitely take the initiative to attack." ”

"It doesn't have to be that troublesome. Ye Yunyang raised his spear and pierced into the sand.

Li Hao pursed his lips and said, "If that's okay, do we still need leg guards, we need to step on the sand and walk forward......"

He couldn't go on, because when Ye Yunyang pulled out the spear, a large scorpion with a body length of more than one meter and two came out of the spearhead, and the shell was black and red, which was obviously one size larger than the previous one.

“...... Is this okay?" Li Hao's eyes widened.

Ye Yunyang stared at the struggling scorpion for a few seconds, and said, "Senior Teng, please do me a favor, I didn't bring a hammer." ”

Teng Xing'an walked over quickly and said, "What a big scorpion, it seems to be at least a hundred years old, and the hardness of the tail needle is probably more than most metals, you are really lucky...... No, it has nothing to do with luck, it didn't even have time to attack before it was stabbed by a spear from you. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the gourd hammer and smashed it on the scorpion's head.

Click!

The scorpion's head was sunken, but the six legs and two pincers shook for a while before stopping.

On the other side, Mi Yun said with envy: "The red sand scorpion that is more than the age of the New Year's greeting, the venom gland is no less than that of the two-headed snake, and it can be used at least dozens of times with its tail needle, and it is difficult for the golden turtle to bite it off." ”

Teng Xing'an skillfully took off the poison gland and tail needle, according to the rules of the clan, whoever hunted the scorpion belonged to whom, Ye Yunyang showed great generosity, leaving only the hook-shaped tail needle, and the poison gland and scorpion were all given to Teng Xing'an.

The land of red sand is vast, and not everyone can be lucky enough to hunt the red sand scorpion, which is extremely precious for a hundred years.

Li Hao was lucky, he was attacked by the scorpion tail for the second time, this time he did not rush it, but carefully determined the hiding location of the scorpion, and then made a move, and finally obtained a prey with a length of more than eighty centimeters, and happily closed his mouth.

But a minute later, when Ye Yunyang hunted the second hundred-year-old Red Sand Scorpion, he couldn't laugh anymore.

What made him even more envious was still behind, Ye Yunyang successfully hunted four prey within a quarter of an hour, three of which were more than a hundred years old, and only one was discovered after the attack, and the other three were all discovered by him in advance, and there was no chance to attack at all.

Teng Xing'an gave him a heartfelt thumbs up, this skill has surpassed him and all the hunters here.
