Chapter 005 Accident
The more Lin Xisuo looked at it, the more strange it became. First, the scorpions would not mate at this season. Second, they left the golden scorpion eggs in the hot spring and let them drift. Third, from the outside, they were much more beautiful than ordinary scorpions, and their bright shells were intact. You should know that in the breeding period, in order to betrothed, poisonous scorpions must defeat their rivals, so each poisonous scorpion is scarred. When facing them, they can completely judge their achievements from the scars. Are these two scorpions soft-footed shrimps?
He shook his head and said to himself: "Even the soft-footed shrimps do not dare to act rashly. They are too strong and can scare people to death."
After watching for a long time, a new discovery was made. The male scorpion clamped some fruits from the stone and sent them into his mouth.
"Tsk tsk, while eating, hugging my wife, you're so happy, you're such a hero!"
Lin Xisuo said a little and found that the surrounding terrain was pretty good, especially a corner behind it, which happened to be used to plant the precious medical plant.
The only green leaf on the plant was curled. When he jumped over the gerbil's nest, he suffered internal injuries and used up one piece. He was more careful and stuffed a piece into the cracks in the shoe, so he was the only one who was left to support the storefront.
I dug a hole with a dagger and stuffed the root system covered with burrs in. After completing the planting, I quickly applied fertilizer and poured the high-energy culture medium into a circle. I stared at it for a long time, and looked left and right to see if the farts changed, and I always felt even more depressed.
"Eighty-mostly, there will be no reaction so quickly. If I really survive, I will collect some medical leaves regularly and go back, the bacteria collectors in the village will have a layer of protection. If my mother had eaten a few slices back then, maybe..."
My heart was sad. Everyone was not having a good life. It was not for themselves to buy medical plants. If I submitted the special mycelium at the purchase price of the village chief, forty-five kilograms would not be enough to repay the debt. My mother said that I would be rewarded by someone with a favor, so I took the risk and traded it with Wood in private. For those uncles and aunts who helped me in difficult times, I never dared to forget them, so I used double or even several times of supplies to give back. But I still felt that it was not enough. The medical conditions in the shipwreck village were too poor, and the plants in front of me were hope.
"Boom" the mountain shook and the ground, and he fell to the ground in panic, his ears buzzing. What's going on?
Immediately afterwards, there was another series of deafening sounds, and finally calmed down.
I slowly got up and looked into the distance. I could see nothing, and the dust filled me with it. I could only tell that the loud noise was coming from the hot spring.
"Gada, Gada, Gada..." The male scorpion passed by nearby, and grabbed the female scorpion on the big pliers. Judging from the female scorpion's wound, there was no power to fight back at all.
Lin Xisuo was very nervous and forced to hold his breath and did not dare to move, just like a wooden carving. The air was filled with pungent and fishy smell, and the female scorpion blood was sprinkled everywhere, covering up the strange smell.
Forty seconds were as long as half a century, the figure of the male scorpion disappeared, and was so scared that he was sweating all over. He sat on the ground and recalled some rumors.
The old man in the village once said that at the top of the crypt food chain is a kind of terrifying scorpion king. They have a strong sense of regionality, and ordinary poisonous scorpions are simply a piece of cake in front of them.
The Scorpion King clan is almost another creature, and the mating seasons are often decades apart. During mating, in order to supplement physical fitness, the female scorpion will kill the other party without mercy before the female scorpion has finished laying eggs. After the scorpion eggs hatch, only three female scorpions are allowed to live in the territory, and all the other offspring are wiped out. When the next mating is done, they will only have relationships with the strongest female scorpion, and all the other two will be eaten.
It can be said that this is a very selfish creature. Only when life reaches the end can the male scorpion heir appear. When I was young, I heard the story, but after hearing it, I didn’t take it to heart. I never thought that I really met the Scorpion King today.
I was frightened and a little scared. Maybe it happened to catch up with its mating period before I could get the super-grade mycelium. After mating, it was the lazy moment for the scorpions, so I just escaped another disaster. Next time, I will never be so lucky next time, and I must leave as soon as possible.
After stabilizing his mind, he thought to himself: "No hurry, the Scorpion King must have a rest for a while before he can recover his vitality. If all the scorpion eggs are destroyed, then it will be a dead end? No humans have ever entered this place, so it is not vigilant. Let's go to the hot spring to see the situation first."
Lin Xisuo was always brave. When the dust settled in the hot spring direction, he tiptoed over.
After the examination, I was ecstatic that the food I ate when the Scorpion King mating turned out to be honey mushroom spores. The village chief boasted more than once that he had eaten this thing when he was young, and the description was extremely detailed, so he was deeply impressed.
There were more than a hundred honey mushroom spores scattered on the rocks, each of which was the size of a fist and had a very light texture. Put one into your mouth, it was sweet and melted in your mouth.
"No wonder people say that wealth and honor are in danger. If you turn around and run away in fear, how can you get such a blessing?"
Carefully pack the spores of honey beans, take off their clothes and sneak into the hot spring. The searchlight has a good seal and still works underwater. I saw a bunch of scorpion eggs climbing on the rocks, like grapes grown in oasis, golden and beautiful.
Scorpion eggs have many uses, they can make antidote agents, and they are rich in active proteins, and their trace elements also have the function of stabilizing the fetus. However, most ordinary scorpion eggs are gray and small parts are white. This is the first time I have seen golden scorpion eggs.
"Oh! No matter what, I'll pack it up and take it away. The next time I meet President Wood, I might be able to sell it for a good price."
Lin Xisuo took out a canvas package from his clothes like a magic trick. After a moment of filling it up, he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he returned to the place where he planted the medical plant before. He didn't know it was the territory of the Scorpion King, but he thought it was close to the water source, so he planted it randomly. Now he has to dig it out again. Anyway, he doesn't plan to return to this place, so it doesn't matter if he has trouble.
He took the whole piece of earth with a dagger, rolled it gently into the package, and thought he was free to drill into the rock cracks and turned back to the camp.
When he saw the tent from afar, the cat lowered his waist and observed it for a long time, then turned around and realized that the mark left was not destroyed, so he felt relieved.
After a few hours of struggle, there were many thrills during this period. After rubbing my belly, I felt a strong sense of hunger. The food I brought was able to fill my stomach and swallow it. I still looked at the spores of honey mushrooms.
Lin Xisuo was about to reach out, but suddenly he was stunned. The canvas package used to hold scorpion eggs shrank significantly, while the medical plants grew like crazy and were full of vitality.
He opened the package and exclaimed, "Oh my god, is this thing a scorpion egg terminator?"
I saw many burrs stretched out from the roots of the medical plant to pierce the scorpion eggs. A whole bag of scorpion eggs was stirred into a paste and mixed with the soil to form a "bonsai".
"Huh? Could it be that these scorpion eggs reacted with the remaining high-energy culture medium? Accidentally synthesized a more powerful culture medium?"
Lin Xisuo's mind was a little confused. Recently, he had been working hard, and a happy life was at hand. Excitement and joy followed one after another. The plant pulled out fresh leaves in front of her eyes, and then grew again and again. In a blink of an eye, it had grown to about one meter high.
The green leaves were growing happily. Suddenly, Lin Xisuo's little face collapsed, the plant began to wither, and the medical leaves were also withering rapidly.
"No, why is this happening? It's so hateful." Lin Xisuo flew up, trying to stop the withering and spreading. The mixing of scorpion eggs and culture medium is indeed effective, but things will turn back. This plant cannot bear the nutrients in it, so there is a scene in front of you.
After a long period of hard work, Lin Xisuo wiped his sweat and sighed: "I was so happy that more than 60,000 credit coins were gone. Fortunately, I got some medical leaves."
After counting, there were only eight leaves left, plus the one I had placed in my shoes, a total of nine. Forgot to ask if this thing has a shelf life. If you use them all in a year, it means you are unlucky and you will suffer ten serious injuries. Carefully hiding the nine leaves is one of the best treasures, which can save lives at critical moments and are useful to others and yourself, so you cannot be careless.
Lin Xisuo encountered a series of accidents. He didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune, but fortunately his nerves were relatively tough. After eating a few spores of honey mushrooms, he would not be able to leave it behind.
Take out the map and study it carefully. Maps are very important for every fungic harvesting family. Wild myceliums are becoming increasingly rare and the industry is competitive. After thousands of years of exploration, the maps that each family has mastered are absolutely different. Some families even use some maps as dowry, which is extremely normal in the shipwreck village.
"Not good! Depending on the situation, you can only escape to the north. Stay here as an illusion. After the bottles and jars are out, you will exchange them with the remaining energy blocks. After this matter, you will definitely not be able to stay in the village. You have to find an opportunity to go around the surrounding oasis. The price of honey mushroom spores is no less than that of the super-grade mycelium. Maybe you can get a floating skateboard as a transportation tool. At that time, you should do some small business and life should be better. As for joining the chamber of commerce, you have never thought that merchants are fighting each other. If you want to do it, do it yourself."
If it weren't forcing Lin Xisuo didn't want to leave the shipwreck village, after all, this place was the place where he gave birth to him and raised him, and he had never been to any other place except for the crypt. The understanding of the outside world was thanks to the aerial photos retained by the light brain. I wanted to go out to explore again when I became an adult, but according to the current situation, the time might have been much earlier.
I set off again three hours later and prepared to leave here. When I arrived at the entrance, I heard a vague noisy sound.
"The little bastard, did he actually run so far. Have you scanned the specific location? Nearly one-third of our troops were lost, and the broken device was not effective at all. Go back and ask my grandpa to settle the score with Wood."
"Young Master, don't worry, we have been hanging behind us, we can't make any mistakes."
"Well, what the hell is this? Why are there no signs on the map?"
Lin Xisuo retreated. The village chief was serious this time. He could tell that he was the village chief’s grandson. He was a tyrant in the shipwreck village. He liked to tease girls when he was less than ten years old and was bullied by him a lot. It was not difficult to get out, but the other party was not familiar with the terrain when he first came. This was the advantage.
He quietly lurked and waited for more than ten minutes. Sand and stones suddenly flew away from the distance. The Scorpion King waved his thick arms and let out anger.
Chapter completed!
