Chapter 176 Mutant Scorpion
In fact, there are not only sand and cacti in the desert, but also many desert plants and desert animals.Most of the animals in the desert are nocturnal animals. They hide at night and come out at night. During the day, the sun is scorching. They look for a shaded place to sleep, and only come out to look for food at night.Like desert plants, these desert animals have a strong ability to adapt to the environment. In order to avoid the heat of the desert, they will hide in places that are not exposed to the sun. They also have a survival strategy to adapt to the desert environment.

For all desert life, the lack of water resources is undoubtedly the greatest threat.Some smaller desert animals simply hide underground, building burrows under soil or sand layers to escape the scorching ground heat.Many mammals, reptiles, insects, and all desert amphibians burrow, and clever rodents even plug the openings to keep out the hot, dry air.

This half-meter-long sand lizard crawled out of the sand, looked around, and came straight to our tent. I couldn't help chuckling when I saw it dared to crawl over, and shot two bone spurs in my hand. In the sand in front of it, a cloud of yellow sand was splashed, and the sand lizard almost jumped up when it was startled. After a scream, it turned its head and fled towards the distance.

"Zhang Yang, what is it?" Although the sound was not loud, it still woke Liang Xiaolin up. Except for me, she has a certain force value, and her vigilance is higher than the other women. She is vigilant. He looked outside the tent, but didn't see anything with a puzzled expression on his face.

I whispered, "It's a sand lizard, I've chased it away..."

Only then did Liang Xiaolin feel relieved, she nodded, and was about to lie down to sleep again, suddenly there was another shriek from the direction where the sand lizard was fleeing, the sound was extremely shrill, and this sound was extremely piercing in this quiet and empty desert. Several people were woken up, and each of them asked me sleepily what happened.

I looked solemnly at the direction of the sound, and waved my hand to signal everyone to keep quiet. That shrill scream was made by the sand lizard. Could it be that I encountered a natural enemy?
When I was observing intently, a few black shadows appeared behind the sand dunes where the sand lizard disappeared. I couldn't see them clearly in the moon field, but I could clearly see their appearance. Those few were surprisingly huge. The scorpion has a shiny black carapace, and a long and thin tail sticking up behind it, which is longer than its body. The tail is also divided into sections, and there is a barbed thorn at the tip of the scorpion tail. The pair of huge claws in the front each clamped a section of sand lizard's corpse and kept feeding it into its mouth. It turned out that the sand lizard ran there and was dismembered by these giant scorpions.

"How can there be such a big scorpion? It's like a calf..." Those giant scorpions slowly crawled towards this side, and the women had already seen their figures, and they exclaimed one by one.

"Five in total, they must be mutated scorpions!" I was secretly on guard. The direction of these five mutated scorpions was to pass by our tent. Just looking at their size alone made people feel scary. Looking at them The head is even more panic-stricken. The long scorpion tail hangs upright and upside down. The tail hook is black and shiny, which is obviously highly poisonous. And these five scorpions have four eyes on their heads, and each mutant scorpion has four eyes. His eyes are dark green.

A level three mutant scorpion!Seeing the five mutated scorpions crawling towards this side with the body of the sand lizard in their pincers, I quietly covered the tent, with only one corner exposed for my observation. , Our tent was erected on the ground in this desert, such an obvious target immediately made those few mutant scorpions interested.

Seeing them deviate from the original route and crawling towards the tent, I smiled wryly and said, "You all stay in the tent and don't go out, I'll kill them!"

"Be careful..." Mo Yue grabbed my arm nervously, and I gave her a comforting smile, opened the tent and got out.

As soon as I got out of the tent, those mutated scorpions became excited, a pair of pincers clacked and quickly crawled towards me, and I shot out bone spurs with a loud shout.

The hardness of their carapaces was beyond my expectation. The bone spurs bounced off the carapaces of these mutated scorpions. My attack stimulated the five mutated scorpions, and they all accelerated their crawling speeds. The first The mutated scorpion was the first to run in front of me. It stopped within my attack distance, and the barbs on the back rushed towards me. Poison, after dodging, I slashed with a hand knife, just right on the mutant scorpion's tail, there was a bang, and the long tail swung aside, but I didn't cut it off.

I have a lot of strength. I didn’t expect the body of the mutated creature in the desert to be so resilient. Seeing the mutated scorpion I attacked chase after it again, I chose to attack its head this time. The tail is not a weak point. If so, then attack other parts of its body.

"Crack!" I punched it on the head, and I threw the mutated scorpion completely into the sand nest. The carapace on the head finally shattered, and a puff of green blood flowed from the damaged carapace. splash out.

"Dang!" I felt a shock in my back. It turned out that a mutated scorpion went around my back and stung me with its barb thorn. Although the thorn was sharp, it didn't pierce my bone armor. I turned around and kicked the mutated scorpion far away, and saw two more pincers clamping towards my body. The spider silk from my left hand shot out, and one of them was immediately stuck. Clamping his paws, he struggled on the ground.

I spotted another mutated scorpion stabbing at me with its long tail, and blocked it with my arm, but my arm was numb from the shock. The stinging power of this thing's long tail is not small!Without letting it pull back, I grabbed the long tailbone joint as thick as my wrist, and saw the mutated scorpion that I kicked flew towards it again, and threw the mutated scorpion at it with all my strength.

"Crack!" The impact was so powerful that the two mutated scorpions collided together, and the carapace at the impact site immediately shattered a lot, and several of the claws I swung were broken.

"Haha! How dare a few little things come to provoke you!" I couldn't help laughing as I restrained these mutated scorpions within a few encounters. That one was blown off my head with a punch.

"Huh? No, there's another one?" I wondered, and then I noticed that one of the five mutated scorpions ran away, and after the danger was relieved, the girls also got out of the tent. Xia Yuan pointed in a direction Said: "Big brother, that one ran over there..."

I looked in the direction of Xia Yuan's finger, and the mutated scorpion quickly climbed over a sand dune and disappeared. I couldn't help laughing: "This little thing runs really fast!"

"That's natural! Big brother is extremely brave, no matter how terrifying these mutated creatures are, they will still be killed!" Xia Yuan's little face flushed with excitement, and she looked at me with little stars in my eyes.

I laughed at myself and said, "In my hometown, there is a kind of scorpion that is completely full of scorpions. It is the most enjoyable to soak in wine and fry. I just didn't expect these little things to mutate so much! What a surprise..."

Su Mingrui thought for a while and said, "I've also heard of your full scorpion, but it can't be compared with this..."

I smiled and saw that the mutated scorpion bound by my spider silk was still struggling. I kicked its head and smashed its head. The carapace hardness of these mutated scorpions is as hard as the bones of a third-level bone armor zombie. Armor hardness, can't help me attacking hard.

After killing the four mutated scorpions, I pulled out the dark green crystal nuclei from their heads, and said to the girls: "Go back! I buried their bodies, it's only two o'clock! "

Hearing what I said, several people nodded and went back to the tent. After I dragged the corpses of these mutant scorpions the size of a calf for a distance, I dug a sandpit with my hands and buried them. .

The creatures in this desert are all nocturnal creatures, even these mutated creatures. They all hide under the sand and only crawl out when they go out to look for food. No wonder no abnormalities were found during the day!It seems that I have to be more careful in the days to come. As I was walking towards the tent while meditating, I heard a "rustling" sound from a distance, which sounded like beans being sifted.

"What kind of bird?" I looked at the sound in astonishment, but the hair on my body stood on end when I saw it, and I saw black figures appearing from behind the sand dune, each of them was as big as a calf, and they were all like this A variety of mutated scorpions crawled towards me densely, there were countless numbers.
