Chapter 231: Temporarily avoid the edge
Those monster scorpions still worried me very much. After getting up the next day, I walked with my big feet and hurried to the high place to observe the situation by the river.
What surprised me was that those scorpions were missing a lot today.
Some scorpions even started to drill directly into the ground.
This made me wonder, were these scorpions here to sting me?
However, this idea just flashed away, how could this be possible?
Sure enough, after careful observation, I discovered the reason why the scorpions returned to the ground.
I don’t know if it was because of these scorpions flooding, and another creature emerged from the forest and riverbed. This creature is an old acquaintance of mine!
It was the alien-like tentacle crab I saw in the river underground!
These crabs are hunting the scorpions wildly, and they are so delicious.
It seems that this thing is probably the natural enemy of those scorpions.
With their movement, the monster scorpions finally stopped being arrogant and retreated to the ground.
However, in contrast, although the scorpions have withdrawn, there are many more strange crabs outside. Fortunately, although these crabs are aggressive, they are not as dangerous as those scorpions.
Because these crabs like to be alone, it is relatively easier for us to kill them.
Although those scorpions are not strong, they gather together like locusts, which is really terrible.
After these insects retreated, we breathed a sigh of relief. We could finally go out of the camp to find water sources with peace of mind!
The appearance of these two scorpions delayed our progress in finding water and increased water use, making our water even thinner.
Maybe God blessed us and we soon discovered something that could replace water sources!
On this day, seeing that there were not many scorpions, I caught an alien crab. After the tentacles of this thing were cut off, there were still many other parts of my body that could be eaten.
After I opened the crab shell, I found that there was a water bag hidden in the belly of this thing!
This water bag occupies almost two-thirds of the inside of the crab shell. It is very huge and is full of sweet-smelling groundwater!
You know, many strange crabs are the same size as basketballs.
Now our water will not be scarce in a short period of time!
I almost jumped up with joy.
These strange crabs are really gifts given to us by God. They not only drive away the scorpions, but also bring us precious water sources.
I heard before that there are vesicles in the stomach of camels that store water sources. Some travelers in the desert, if they really reach the end of their lives, can kill the camels and take out the water to drink.
However, there is still a big difference between crabs and camels. Crabs live in rivers. Logically, they should not need to store water.
I have always been puzzled about this. Later, I left the deserted island and only learned that even ordinary crabs had water storage organs in their bodies.
Like fish, crabs can only breathe with their gills. When the fish comes in water, they will die soon, but crabs will not.
That is because they store water in their bodies. Once they reach the shore, they will continue to secrete moisture and keep their cheeks moist.
This is what it means to support each other.
However, these crabs can only relieve their thirst for a while, and it is impossible for us to eat them until the end of winter.
These crabs will be caught sooner or later, and will run away sooner or later.
We must find a more stable source of water.
At this time, something happened suddenly and began to hinder our pace of finding water sources.
Those savages from the giant tribe appeared again!
Duoer found traces of their activities nearby.
This made me suddenly alert. These bastards have been hiding for so long and now they appear. They must have thought of some vicious way to deal with us.
We had to reduce the time we searched for water sources and increase the alertness.
Soon, we discovered that the savage master was walking around secretly in the woods around our tribe, as if he was doing something!
I noticed that he was holding a powder in his hand, which was constantly spilling.
I asked Chuchu to keep a good watch in the camp, and I walked out of the camp and quietly came to the place where this guy stayed and searched the ground.
As soon as I passed, I found that the guy had sprinkled the powder and there were many bugs gathering.
There are all kinds of bugs.
It seems that this guy wants to use this medicine powder to attract insects to deal with us?
I guess, is it the scorpion that has been raging recently that has inspired this guy?
This made me feel very impatient. Our trap can protect animals and people, but it really doesn't work much to deal with bugs.
Moreover, there are all women in the camp, who is not afraid of insects?
I tried to clean the powder with water, but it didn't work. After being washed by water, the range of attracting insects seemed to have expanded.
This made my face even more gloomy.
After I brought the news back, Xiao Qing and the others were all pale in their faces and their hands were trembling.
Chuchu and Keren had even white faces. They hurriedly held my hand and started to communicate with me anxiously.
It turned out that they knew what the savage master was going to do!
According to Chuchu and Keren, the savage master was trying to lure a strange insect, a blood scorpion, that survived underground.
This is a blood-red little scorpion. This thing acts collectively like a locust and eats everything, which is extremely terrible.
Chuchu and Keren said that a tribe they once knew was completely gone by this bug.
Originally, this kind of blood scorpion was very rare even underground, but it seemed that it was found by this savage master.
"This camp can't be stayed for the time being. Everyone packs up and we'll leave right away!"
Now the savage master has sprinkled the medicine powder and cannot be cleaned. Those insects will definitely come, so this time we can only hide at Qian'er's father's hiding place.
Actually, I don’t want to go there, let alone disturbing Qian’er’s father, just the underground mistaken path is daunting.
Moreover, there are so many strange things underground.
"It's getting dark now. Everyone hurry up and pack up. As soon as it gets dark, we'll leave immediately!"
Those savages did not have night vision and had telescopes. We escaped while the night was dark, and they could not find it.
However, I didn't want to just run away in a panic, so I had to give the beast a little color.
That bastard is still sneaking around our tribe. While a few girls are packing their things, I will go out and find a way to give him some peanuts!
