Chapter 181 Twists and Turns
"You caught your prey so quickly? Or a wrinkled cow. That's great. The wrinkled cow is one of the best baits for catching blood scorpions."
Came to the place agreed with Mulanzhi.
Mulanzhi was a little surprised to see Fengyun rushing over with his prey so quickly.
thump!
Feng Yun directly threw the wrinkled cow on the ground.
Its heavy body of more than five thousand kilograms made the ground tremble.
"Miss Lanzhi, come up. I'll dig the hole."
"How? We have already agreed, you are in charge of hunting, and I am in charge of digging. How can you do everything?"
Mulanzhi shook her head resolutely.
"Then we'll dig together."
Although Mulanzhi is already a totem warrior, her level is not high, she has just been promoted to the intermediate level, and like a witch, she is obsessed with researching medical skills and neglects physical exercise.
Her physical strength is about the same as that of ordinary junior totem fighters, not even as good as some junior totem fighters who pay more attention to physical exercise.
The pit that Mulanzhi needs to dig is for wrinkled leather cows, but due to some special requirements, it is not only enough to hold wrinkled leather cows, but also needs to be bigger and deeper. The minimum requirement is to hold more than five cows. Wrinkled cow.
A wrinkled cow weighs more than 5,000 catties and is huge. It is not an easy task to dig a big pit for five wrinkled cows.
With Mulanzhi's physique, even if it can be completed, it will take a lot of time.
The rocky beach is not close to the Baicao Tribe. It takes three hours to come here, and three hours to walk back.
Even if they came earlier and had more time, it still took time to capture the blood scorpions.
If they spent too much time digging the pit, they might not be able to rush back to the Baicao Tribe before dark.
"All right."
Mulanzhi obviously knew that it would be difficult to dig a big hole by herself relying solely on her ability, so she no longer refused Fengyun's help.
Not long after Fengyun jumped into the big pit, Mulanzhi crawled out of the big pit consciously. Standing aside, became a spectator.
It's not that she doesn't want to help dig the pit together, but that she finds that he stays in the pit, not only is it useless. On the contrary, it will affect Fengyun's work efficiency.
After Fengyun started to work, the hole Mulanzhi dug turned into a different kind of fountain, with soil and stones flying out continuously. It fell far outside the big pit.
Fengyun's movements were very fast, afterimages appeared on his hands, and later on, the afterimages also became lighter and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
In this way, a very strange situation appeared, his hands disappeared, only his arms remained.
At first glance, it is inevitable that people will have an illusion, where is the situation. Where there is enough dirt and stones to fly up automatically.
After a short quarter of an hour, Fengyun stopped.
At this time, what appeared in front of Mulanzhi was no longer an inconspicuous small pit, but a large pit with a length and width of more than five feet, and a depth of more than one foot and five feet.
The whole pit looks very regular.
The four walls are straight, the bottom is flat, and the surface is smooth and compact, obviously treated by Fengyun deliberately.
Fengyun jumped out of the big pit and walked in front of Mulanzhi. Asked: "Miss Lanzhi, is this pit still usable?"
"It can be used, of course it can be used. It is much better than what I dug."
"As long as it can be used."
Fengyun bent down and picked up the wrinkled leather cow, and walked towards the rocky beach.
There is still a short distance between the big pit and the rocky beach. The straight-line distance is about ten miles.
Mulanzhi wanted to dig a hole, but her purpose was not to throw the wrinkled cow into it and wait for the blood scorpion to climb in by itself.
If the big pit really wants to play a role, it needs to wait until the blood scorpion is captured.
Ten miles is really nothing to Fengyun and Mulanzhi.
After a short time, they came to the edge of the rocky beach.
"Miss Lanzhi, just wait outside. I'll just cast the bait by myself."
"This...well. Cloud. You must be more careful."
Mulanzhi couldn't hide the worry on her face.
"Don't worry. You told me what to do. I know what to do next. Even if I'm unlucky, I can escape unscathed. Didn't you say that my speed is enough? "
Fengyun nodded to Mulanzhi, and walked towards the rocky beach with the wrinkled cow on his shoulders.
The moment he stepped onto the rocky beach, Feng Yun's expression became serious.
Don't look at what he said to Mulanzhi lightly, in fact, he dared not relax at all in his heart.
Through Mulanzhi's explanation of the blood scorpion's habits, he couldn't help but think of a creature that left a deep impression on him when he was in the Snake Mountain—the nail-headed worm.
They all have an unusual interest in flesh and blood.
Entering the rocky beach, Feng Yun stepped on the rocks deliberately, making a loud noise, and even the ground under his feet trembled.
His purpose of entering the rocky beach was to capture the blood scorpions, and if he wanted to capture them, he had to let them show up.
When he stomped on the stones hard, he was telling them that their territory had been invaded.
Another similar feature between them and nailhead beetles is that they both have a strong sense of territory and absolutely do not allow other animals to invade their territory.
The area of the rocky beach is not small, with a radius of twenty or thirty miles. However, Fengyun didn't go too far. He just moved forward in a straight line for about two miles, and then stopped.
The reason for not continuing to go deep into the rocky beach is mainly due to two considerations, one is the difficulty of recovering the wrinkled cows, and the other is that I don't want to provoke too many blood scorpions.
According to Mulanzhi, there are a lot of blood scorpions in the rocky beach.
Even though they needed to catch a lot of blood scorpions this time, it was enough on the edge of the rocky beach.
After stopping, Fengyun listened attentively, then moved again, making a louder sound when stepping on stones.
After a while, Fengyun's eyebrows suddenly raised upwards, and a smile appeared on his face.
After looking around, Fengyun put down the wrinkled cow he was carrying.
"Come back, you can come back."
Mulanzhi, who had been paying attention to Fengyun's every move, saw him put down the wrinkled cow, and immediately waved to him, indicating that he could come back.
Fengyun did not follow Mulanzhi's wishes and immediately withdrew.
He jumped on top of the wrinkled cow.
This action of his made Mulanzhi very puzzled and frowned.
Fengyun jumped behind the cow. The body sinks, compressing the abdominal cavity of the cow.
Soon, bright red blood flowed from the cow's snout.
Fengyun was worried that the Wrinkled Cow was not attractive enough to the Blood Scorpion.
Since the blood scorpion was bloodthirsty, he let some blood flow from the wrinkled cow's body. It should attract more blood scorpions, and if more blood scorpions are attracted, the harvest will naturally increase.
Fengyun looked at the amount of blood flowing from the wrinkled cow's mouth and nose, and felt that it was almost enough, so he jumped off the cow.
Fengyun began to walk outside the rocky beach.
The way he backs up is very special. He walked backwards, facing the wrinkled cow, and kept looking at it.
He wanted to see how many blood scorpions the wrinkled cow could attract.
rustle……
Fengyun heard the sound of raindrops falling on the leaves.
As time went on, the voices got louder and more numerous.
Immediately afterwards, Fengyun discovered that a second color had begun to appear on the rocky beach.
red.
These reds first appeared in dots, and as they moved, they quickly gathered together and turned into red lines.
The red line is getting thicker.
Look in Fengyun's eyes. It's like streams flowing between the crevices of stones, but the color is red.
They have only one goal, and that is the wrinkled cow.
Feng Yun quickened his back pace, because he found that his body and feet were also red.
Of course red is the blood scorpion.
Seeing countless blood scorpions popping up continuously, Feng Yun still couldn't help showing a shocked expression.
Although Mulanzhi had explained the situation of the blood scorpions clearly on the way to the rocky beach, he still didn't expect that there would be so many of them.
Two miles was not too far for Fengyun, and he had retreated a certain distance before, so although the blood scorpion appeared near him, it did not pose a threat to him.
The figure flickered. In the blink of an eye, Fengyun appeared beside Mulanzhi.
"Yun, you scared me to death. You should come back as soon as you put down the wrinkled cow. You also said that you would heed my warning. If you slow down, you will be surrounded by blood scorpions. I I just wanted to help you..."
Before Fengyun could gain a firm foothold, Mulanzhi complained a series of complaints.
"Okay, okay. I was wrong this time. But it's worth taking some risks. Look how many blood scorpions have come out now. I believe the harvest this time will be very big."
Fengyun worried that Mulanzhi would chatter endlessly, so he interrupted her. And try to divert her attention.
"You still say. Do you think it's a good thing to attract so many blood scorpions all at once?"
What Fengyun didn't expect was that Mulanzhi became even more angry when he said that.
"What's wrong? Isn't it good to have too many blood scorpions?"
"It's true that recruiting more blood scorpions may lead to greater gains, but there will also be a problem. If this problem cannot be solved, we will most likely be wasting our efforts."
"what is the problem?"
Fengyun saw Mulanzhi's serious expression, she didn't seem to be joking, and faintly felt that things might really be tricky.
"In order to devour the flesh and blood, the blood scorpions will drill into the snouts of the wrinkled cows, and after they are full, they will fall into a state similar to lethargy. We took the wrinkled cows back and put them in the dug large In the pit, sprinkle the medicine prepared by the witch, and they can be killed."
"What's wrong with that?"
"Of course there is a problem. If there are too many blood scorpions, some of them will not be able to get into the wrinkled cow's body. If they can't eat flesh and blood, they won't fall into a coma. When we go to fetch the wrinkled cow, we will encounter to their attack."
"We can wait for them to disperse before going to get the wrinkled cows. I don't believe it, they will stay there forever."
"But the problem is that blood scorpions that eat flesh and blood don't stay asleep all the time. After a while, they wake up. We don't have that much time to wait."
"It's also my fault. I didn't tell you all the details clearly, otherwise this kind of problem wouldn't have happened."
Mulanzhi seemed to blame herself a bit.
"Nothing. If you fail this time, just try again. Anyway, it doesn't take much time to kill a wrinkled cow."
"It has to be like this."
Mulanzhi agreed to Fengyun's proposal.
Next, the two of them stopped talking and focused on the wrinkled cow to see if it could hold all the blood scorpions.
After about a quarter of an hour, Fengyun and Mulanzhi looked at each other and shook their heads together.
Although the wrinkled cow was big, there were too many blood scorpions, and in the end about two-half of them could not get in.
"I'm going to kill another wrinkled cow."
Fengyun turned around and prepared to leave.
"Yun, wait a minute."
"What's wrong?"
Mulanzhi didn't speak, but pointed to where the wrinkled cow was.
Fengyun followed her fingers and looked over.
When he saw the situation clearly, he couldn't help showing surprise, the blood scorpions surrounding the wrinkled cow were retreating quickly. (To be continued.)
