Chapter 185 The Feeling of Being Stared At

"Yun, how did you come up with this idea? Thanks to your help, otherwise we might not be able to go back tonight. ↖"

Mulanzhi was imitating Fengyun's example, picking up the blood scorpions scattered around the big pit with a thin wooden stick, and putting them in the back basket, while asking him why he thought of such a good way to collect blood scorpions.

"It's nothing. I thought at the time that as long as the feet don't touch the bottom of the pit, people can actually enter the pit. This way, people will be closer to the blood scorpion, and it will be more convenient to collect."

"So I was wondering if there was any way to do this. As a result, a sudden inspiration came to my mind, and I thought of it."

"Yun, I really envy you. You came up with such a good idea so casually."

Mulanzhi shook her head and couldn't help letting out a sigh.

"I just had better luck."

Of course Fengyun will not tell her the truth.

It wasn't something he'd come up with himself, just because he'd seen something similar.

"That's what makes people more enviable. It's okay to talk about other things. If you work hard, you may be able to do it, but luck can't be seen or touched, and you can't get it if you want it."

"Oh, yes. Have you thought of a name for this new invention of yours?"

"I've already thought about it."

"What is it?"

"stilts."

"Stilts? It's kind of weird, why is it called this name?"

"It's just a name. I thought of it and used it."

He copied the stilts, and in the future, everyone including Mulanzhi will believe that he invented it. He decided to give it its original name. It can be regarded as a little respect for its real inventor.

"That's right. It's just a name. Although I don't understand what stilt means, but having a height is more appropriate."

"So there's no need to worry too much about it."

...

While speaking, there were more and more blood scorpions in the basket.

Although it is still not easy to pick up the blood scorpions with your hands at this time, after all, on a flat and clean ground, there is no need to worry about being contaminated with dark red liquid that may contain scorpion venom residues, and the collection speed is much faster.

"Yun, the harvest this time is really good."

Look at a tall hill emerging from the top of the pannier. Mulanzhi smiled broadly.

Although the blood scorpions became shriveled after the fluid and venom in their bodies were drained out, and they were much smaller than when they were alive, but there were too many of them.

A whole basket was filled with a tall spike piled up on it, but all the blood scorpions still hadn't been picked up.

It is conservatively estimated that if you pick them all up, it should be able to fill most of the basket.

Since the liquid in their bodies has been almost eliminated, even if they are roasted after returning home, their size will not shrink significantly.

So many blood scorpions. It is definitely more than enough to prepare the remaining wound medicine, and there will even be a lot left.

Stand alone on one side.

Fengyun and Mulanzhi walked towards a pond not too far away with a big back basket.

They were going to rinse the collected blood scorpions, wash off the dark red liquid stained on them, and remove the remaining scorpion venom.

During the rinsing process, the dark red liquid stained on the blood scorpion was moistened and spread in the water, and soon a large area of ​​water turned dark red.

Immediately afterwards, Fengyun saw the corpses of fish and other aquatic animals floating out of the water.

They should have been poisoned by scorpion poison.

At this moment, Fengyun really understood why Mulanzhi paid so much attention to the blood scorpion.

It does deserve to be taken seriously.

After repeated disinfection treatments, the remaining scorpion venom has almost dissipated, but it can still cause such great damage. It is not difficult to imagine that if it is really pierced by their tail needles, or sprayed with venom, the consequences will be terrible. How serious.

In order to further eliminate the toxicity of the venom, after getting the blood scorpions out of the pit, Fengyun and Mulanzhi didn't put them into the basket immediately, but let them expose to the sun for a while.

It was thought that they should no longer be toxic.

But in the process of rinsing, it still caused great damage to the creatures living in the water, which greatly exceeded Feng Yun's expectations, and it also gave him a deeper understanding of the horror of the blood scorpion.

After repeated rinsing, Mulanzhi spread out the blood scorpion by the pond, firstly to dry the water vapor, and secondly to further disinfect.

After some busy work, a short time passed.

"When we go back, I'm afraid it will be dark."

When Fengyun was helping Mulanzhi put the blood scorpion into the back basket, he looked up at the sun and found that it had sunk considerably.

"Don't worry. I've been here more than once, and there are no powerful beasts. It's dark, and there is no danger in going back."

"I'm just a little worried. After all, no matter how safe it is outside, it can't be compared with staying in the tribe."

All the blood scorpions were loaded up, and there were two full baskets, which was indeed a bumper harvest.

The other basket was made by Mulanzhi cutting down bamboo while the blood scorpions were being cleaned and waiting for them to dry.

Mulanzhi is very good at making bamboo products due to working with bamboo for many years, and with Fengyun's help, it didn't take too long to weave a bamboo basket.

Fengyun and Mulanzhi each carried a basket on their backs and walked towards the big pit where the blood scorpions were killed.

They're going to fill it in.

This proposal was made by Mulanzhi, without explaining too much, just saying that it was ordered by the witch.

According to Mulanzhi, when witches participated in capturing blood scorpions, every time they succeeded, people would fill in the pits.

Fengyun raised no objection.

Although the pit is relatively large, it is much easier to fill than to dig.

It didn't take long for the big hole to be filled.

Fengyun also stepped on some uneven places, walked up to Mulanzhi, and asked, "Is this okay?"

"All right. Let's go back."

Fengyun walked to the back basket, picked it up, and rushed towards the Baicao Tribe with Mulanzhi.

Maybe it was because the harvest was too rich, Mulanzhi was in a good mood, with a smile on her face, and she chatted non-stop along the way.

Fengyun also chatted with her casually.

After walking for about thirty miles, Fengyun and Mulanzhi entered a sparsely wooded area.

The so-called savanna is a transitional area between woods and grasslands.

When it comes to forests, there are relatively few trees, they are relatively low, and they seldom exist in the form of large areas. If it is a grassland, there are more trees.

This sparsely forested area lies between the rocky beach and the Baicao tribe, and the area is very large, exceeding two to three hundred miles.

To get around it, they need to walk a lot more.

So Fengyun and Mulanzhi chose to pass through it.

As Mulanzhi said, there is no danger, and there are no overly powerful beasts living in the sparsely wooded area.

When the two came, they passed through it, and they didn't even see a higher-level wild beast.

After walking about ten miles in the sparse tree area, Fengyun suddenly stretched out his hand, stopped Mulanzhi, and said in a deep voice, "Stop!"

"What's wrong? Did some powerful beast appear?"

Mulanzhi subconsciously looked around, looking a little nervous.

Although she had never encountered a powerful savage beast in the sparse tree area before, it did not mean that there would not be a powerful savage beast in the sparse tree area. After all, savage beasts were not dead things, they could move.

Who can guarantee that they will not wander here.

"no."

"No? Why did you stop?"

"I felt like we were being watched."

"What?"

Mulanzhi's complexion changed, and she suddenly became nervous.

"Who is it?"

"No. I can feel that someone is watching, but I can't find who is watching us."

"Yun, could this be your illusion?"

Hearing that Fengyun didn't find the stalker, Mulanzhi's tense face could not help but relax a little.

"No. My feeling is rarely wrong. This time I can be sure that we are indeed being watched. Before entering this area, I felt it. After entering this area, the feeling of being watched has changed. It’s definitely not wrong to get stronger and stronger.”

"Yun, what should we do?"

Seeing that Fengyun is so determined, Mulanzhi chooses to believe him.

From what she knew of him, he wasn't one to joke around, especially when it came to such serious matters.

"There are two options, one is to move forward, and the other is to retreat. I want to ask for your opinion."

"what is your opinion?"

Mulanzhi couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she threw the question to Fengyun again.

"Choose neither."

"Um?"

Mulanzhi's eyes widened, apparently not expecting Fengyun to give such an answer.

"Whether you are going forward or back, as long as you are still being watched, your situation will not change. On the contrary, if you can find out the stalker, it doesn't matter what you choose."

"You're right. The most urgent task now is to find out who is staring at us. Yun, what do you want to do, is there any use for me? If so, just tell me, I will fully cooperate with you."

Mulanzhi agrees with Fengyun very much.

"There's nothing to do. We'll just have to wait."

"Wait and you can find out who is following you?"

"Since the enemy has already targeted us, they must have plans for us, so they will definitely take action, the difference is only sooner or later. Instead of running around, it is better to stay where they are and wait for them to come. Take it easy."

Fengyun has already defined the people who are following him as enemies.

What he told Mulanzhi was the truth, before entering the sparsely wooded area, he did sense that he was being followed.

After following him for such a long time, Feng Yun would never believe it if he said there was no malice. (To be continued.)
