178 The Great Eater Hidden Scorpion (Seeking Reading, Asking for Tickets)
It may be that these scorpions have not yet dealt with a species as large as humans, and although they have an absolute advantage in numbers, they are not in a hurry to attack, but they are constantly shrinking the encirclement.
The three of them were still a little flustered in the face of this tidal wave of yellow scorpions, and they had no place to stand under their feet, so they could only climb up to the stone statues behind them to take shelter temporarily, and then think of other ways out.
The scorpion and the three of them formed a confrontation.
Lin Yi finally saw their appearance clearly.
This is not the kind of yellow scorpion they usually see.
The kind of yellow scorpion that can often appear in the cracks of the soil and under the soil kang is called "ctenophor".
It is about the size of this yellow scorpion, with a black or brown body with a certain luster, and likes to live in burrows or crevices in rocks.
Although the ctenophor has barbs and venom sacs on its tail, it is also more aggressive and venomous, and can cause severe pain and physical discomfort after being bitten.
But it's not that toxic.
Nowadays, it is often used in medicine, soaking in wine, and even making barbecue.
"Master Lin, why don't I look at this thing like the scorpion we usually see?"
Lin Yi nodded and said:
"See? It's called the 'Great Eater'. ”
"The Great Eater-Tailed Scorpion? This is the Great Eater-Tailed Scorpion? ”
Qian Sheng's tone was instantly a little excited.
"What, shopkeeper Qian, have you eaten or seen it?"
Wang Qiang teased on the side.
"Master Wang, it's time for this, don't lift me up. I have never eaten or seen this thing, but I have seen it in books.
It was recorded in "Jiahua of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" that during the reign of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Daxing City, which is now Xijing, had an epidemic, and the people in the city vomited and diarrhea, dizziness and swelling, and were in pain.
At that time, all the famous doctors in the city were dispatched to come for diagnosis and treatment, but they all returned in vain.
Yu Qing, who was Jing Zhaoyin at the time, took out a thousand taels of horseshoe gold as a reward, and whoever could cure the epidemic would own the gold.
Later, there was a monk from the Western Regions who said that he had a way to sprinkle the medicinal powder he brought into various wells in Daxing City, and three days later, the epidemic disappeared.
Yu Qing promised in front of everyone that if the epidemic dissipated after three days, the daughter would be owned by Hu Seng;
If three days later, the epidemic has not disappeared, Hu Seng will be beheaded and displayed to the public.
Unexpectedly, three days after Hu Seng's medicinal powder was put into the well, the epidemic really stopped spreading, and the infected people began to reduce their symptoms after drinking the well water.
Three days later, Hu Seng came to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion to receive a thousand gold, but was taken by Yu Qing. ”
Lin Yi and Wang Qiang were hearing the key point, but they didn't think about it, Qian Sheng was halfway through his words, and suddenly there was an "oops".
Pointing to the ground and trembling.
"Second master, come up, this scorpion is up!"
I saw the group of hidden-tailed scorpions below, as if they were waiting impatiently, and at the same time found that they were not a threat.
So, they began to attack the three of them and one monkey, and one by one began to climb up the stone statues.
"Wear goggles, cover your mouth and nose, and be careful, this scorpion has a stinger hidden under its stomach and will shoot venom!"
As soon as Lin Yi finished explaining, the vanguard of the Hidden Tailed Scorpion had already arrived at the front.
Wang Qiang was the first to rush over, picked up the sapper shovel, and smashed it hard, and the scorpion juice splashed everywhere.
"Still imported? That's it! ”
As he spoke, Wang Qiang picked up the sapper shovel and slapped it a few times in a row, turning all the scorpions into paste.
Just as he was shooting, the Tibetan tail scorpion in the rear seemed to have realized that Wang Qiang was aggressive.
The Tibetan tail scorpion that approached the front immediately stopped, and suddenly, under the bodies of the dozens of scorpions lined up in front, a stream of venom shot out.
In Wang Qiang's cognition, if a scorpion wants to sting, you must at least get close first, right?
How did he know that the reason why this Tibetan tail scorpion is called a Tibetan tail scorpion is because this scorpion usually hides the stinger and poison sac on its tail under its body.
When the other party relaxes his vigilance, through the squeezing of the body, he suddenly shoots venom and attacks the opponent's vital point, without getting close at all.
Although Wang Qiang wore goggles and a mask, these dozens of venoms rushed to his face, and the 3M mask he was wearing was corroded in an instant, leaving only two leather bands hanging in his ears.
The protruding parts of his nose and lips immediately felt a strong burning sensation.
It hurt so much that Wang Qiang covered his mouth and nose with one hand, stomped his feet and scolded his mother.
"It hurts, it hurts me to death, how can the hell this dog still sneak attack, and still hurt people with secret arrows?"
Now he finally realized the situation of those rats.
Why did you just take a look at these Tibetan tailed scorpions, and immediately kick your legs back to the west.
It's not that he fell under any magic, but he was put down by the venom of the hidden tail scorpion.
"Master Wang, are you okay?"
Qian Sheng took out the gas mask from his bag, handed it over, and stuffed a bottle of ointment.
Wang Qiang was still bothered to apply ointment at the moment, and the tip of his nose was quickly eroded off by the venom of the Tibetan tail scorpion.
The whole nose was instantly red and swollen, hot and painful, and the upper and lower lips were like two sausages hanging from them, looking like a circus clown.
This is still the result of wearing protective gear, if it weren't for this mask, he would probably have broken his appearance by now.
As usual, Lin Yi inevitably had to count him down.
But now the situation is urgent, and the poison of these Tibetan tailed scorpions is too violent.
Not only is it highly toxic, but it is also extremely corrosive, and the equipment they carry cannot resist it at all.
There is no way out around, all of them are occupied by Tibetan tailed scorpions, and jumping off the stone statue rashly is a dead end.
"Quickly put on the mask and wrap all the exposed skin of the body, this stone statue is our position right now, don't be easily attacked by these guys!"
As soon as he heard the position, Wang Qiang endured the pain of the burn, put on a mask, picked up the sapper shovel, and began to launch a counterattack against the surrounding scorpion group.
He cursed in his mouth, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.
At this time, his lips and tongue had already felt numb, and his saliva couldn't help but flow out, and he couldn't control it at all.
Qian Sheng also took out all the treasures he carried with him.
What snake medicine, mosquito repellent water, five poison purification, etc., messy potions and powders are sprinkled down one by one.
At first, these things could still play some role, but there were so many of them that the scorpions in front retreated, and the scorpions in the back immediately climbed up.
Qian Sheng could only wrap himself tightly, and then learn from Wang Qiang, using the technique of "swatting flies" to shoot them to death one by one.
Lin Yi held up the Vajra umbrella as a shield to protect their vital points, and the venom sprayed by these scorpions had no effect on the metal.
With the combined efforts of the three of them, they can be regarded as holding this position.
This gave Lin Yi enough time to work out a solid escape plan.
Who would have thought that Wang Qiang over there was fighting, and he actually planted an upside-down onion, planted straight from the stone statue, and happened to lie in the group of hidden-tailed scorpions underground, unconscious.
