Chapter 183 Poisonous Smoke

Fengyun didn't wait too long, the time for the blood scorpion to wake up was much shorter than he imagined.

Less than half an hour after he applied the powder, the wrinkled cow's body changed.

Its skin was like the surface of water blown by the wind, first there were ups and downs, and it became more and more obvious. It was obvious that the blood scorpion had woken up from a lethargic state.

"I didn't expect the blood scorpions to wake up so quickly. If those blood scorpions hadn't retreated suddenly, our work would have been in vain."

Fengyun finally understood at this time.

What Mulanzhi told him not long ago was not for his safety, not letting him take risks, deliberately exaggerating, but really not leaving them too much time.

"It's indeed faster this time. It should be that more blood scorpions got into the wrinkled cow's body, less flesh and blood were distributed, and the time of lethargy was shorter."

Obviously, Mulanzhi was a little surprised by the speed at which the blood scorpion woke up.

But luckily everything was done.

Fengyun's eyes moved back and forth on the wrinkled cow, and finally stopped at its snout.

He has seen it.

Although the blood scorpions moved a lot after waking up, they didn't mean to break through the wrinkled cow's hide and crawl out directly. They should still crawl out through the passage they entered, that is, the wrinkled cow's snout.

After two or three minutes, the head of the first blood scorpion emerged from the wrinkled cow's nostrils.

Fengyun was finally relieved.

He was originally worried that the blood scorpion would smell the medicinal powder he smeared and would hide in the belly of the wrinkled cow, so it would be a little troublesome to deal with it this way.

At this time, he also understood why the medicine powder made by the witch had no obvious smell, most likely it was to prevent the blood scorpions from smelling it.

The first blood scorpion didn't crawl out all at once, but stretched out its head first, and looked around, as if it was inspecting the surrounding environment.

"Will it come out?"

Fengyun looked at it with a hint of curiosity.

There is obviously a huge difference between the big pit where it is now and the rocky beach. Will it shrink back because of the change in the environment?

It turns out. He thought too much.

It just looked at it, and crawled out from the wrinkled cow's snout.

Fengyun looked at it with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Its current appearance has obviously changed from the blood scorpion he saw on the rocky beach.

Where it has changed the most is its belly.

When Fengyun saw the living blood scorpions for the first time in the rocky beach, their bodies were relatively well-proportioned. But this blood scorpion that crawled out from the wrinkled cow's nostrils had a big belly.

Compared with the original, it is nearly ten times larger, which seems quite exaggerated.

Seeing it crawling clumsily on the ground with its big belly, in Fengyun's mind, it no longer had the horror that Mulanzhi told, and some of it was just funny.

Because the big belly of the blood scorpion is too conspicuous. Fengyun's attention was basically attracted by it.

This also allowed him to see clearly what was going on inside it.

Because its belly is too big,

So much so that it has become a little transparent, and if you look closely, you can really see its inside.

Its inside is filled with liquid, it is red, dark red, it should be the product of initial digestion after it devoured the flesh and blood of the wrinkled cow.

After the pot-bellied blood scorpion crawled out of the wrinkled cow's body, it didn't stop for a moment, and directly crawled towards the wall of the pit closest to it.

At this time, Fengyun also understood. Why did it get out of the wrinkled cow's body immediately after discovering what happened in its environment? It turned out that it wanted to find its way home as soon as possible.

In a hurry to leave, the blood scorpion with a big belly came into contact with the medicinal powder that Fengyun sprinkled in the pit without any accident.

Feng Yun's eyes opened a little, he wanted to see what kind of effect the medicine powder developed by the witch would have on the blood scorpion.

The moment the pot-bellied blood scorpion came into contact with the medicinal powder, it remained motionless as if it had been petrified.

"This will kill it? Isn't the effect of the medicine too strong?"

Looking at the motionless blood scorpion, Fengyun couldn't help admiring the witch.

"cloud."

Mulanzhi's voice came from Fengyun's ear, but he felt her hand grabbing his arm and pulling him back.

"Miss Lanzhi. What's the matter?"

Fengyun turned to look at Mulanzhi, he didn't understand why she wanted to pull him.

"I think we'd better take a step back."

Mulanzhi looked a little strange.

"Why?"

Mulanzhi didn't answer, in fact, she didn't need to answer.

chi chi...

The moment he asked the question. He heard a sound similar to an air leak, and then a pungent but familiar smell entered his nostrils.

Fengyun followed the sound and immediately found the source of the sound, which was the blood scorpion with the belly that he thought was dead.

At this time, its appearance is quite different from before.

If you have to use one word to describe it, Fengyun thinks that spray group should be perfect.

All the holes in its body are spraying dark red liquid. These liquids all come from its big belly.

But the pungent smell that Fengyun smelled did not come from those red liquids.

It comes from the venom ejected from its tail needle.

The color of the venom was originally colorless, but after leaving the blood scorpion's body, its color quickly darkened, turning into bright yellow, and tended to turn red.

But what really attracted Fengyun's attention was not its color change, but the change that occurred after it left the blood scorpion's body.

In a very short period of time, it changed from a liquid state to a gaseous state, and it continued to expand and flow in the air, as if it was alive.

In addition, it is very eye-catching, and the color is similar to the flame, which is indeed very impactful.

"Fast back. The blood scorpion's venom is very sticky. Once touched by it, it will be absorbed on the skin and it is difficult to remove."

Mulanzhi saw the rapid expansion of the venom from the blood scorpion, her expression changed immediately, and she pulled Fengyun's arm vigorously, trying to pull him away from the pit.

Fengyun didn't insist anymore, and left the pit with Mulanzhi.

Mulanzhi let go of Fengyun's arm until she was nearly a hundred feet away from the edge of the pit.

"There's no need to avoid going so far, is there?"

Fengyun felt that Mulanzhi had made a small fuss.

Even if the blood scorpion's venom has the characteristics of vaporization and expansion, its size is small after all, the venom it can spray out is limited, and how much it can expand when it expands.

"You will know the result after a while. Maybe we need to go back."

Mulanzhi didn't say much, as if she let time prove it.

Facts have proved that Mulanzhi does have the confidence to do so.

Fengyun just stood still. The sound of air leaks coming from the direction of the big pit suddenly became denser, and in the end it became even more continuous.

Later, Feng Yun, who was so far away from the big pit, felt that the sound was a bit harsh.

Simultaneously with the sound, the poisonous smoke from the blood scorpion venom also increased.

From a distance, the crater seemed to have become a volcano that had begun to erupt. Bright yellow poisonous smoke came out continuously from it.

The amount of poisonous smoke has increased, gathered together, and the color has become darker and brighter.

At first glance, there is indeed an illusion of being on fire.

At this time, Fengyun also discovered a characteristic of poisonous smoke, that is, it has strong stability.

It was windy. Although not very large, it is enough to blow away the smoke.

There was no sign of the poisonous smoke being blown away, but the expansion speed of the part near the upwind vent was slower.

Looking at the rapidly expanding poisonous smoke, and thinking of the toxicity of the poisonous smoke that Mulanzhi once told him, Fengyun can already understand Mulanzhi's nervousness.

Caught in the encirclement of the blood scorpions, if they didn't get out in time, once they encountered their venom attack, it would indeed be an extremely terrible thing, and they would even lose their lives directly.

Fengyun and Mulanzhi don't need to retreat for the time being, they are standing on the upper wind. With the expansion speed of the poisonous smoke, it will be impossible to reach them in a short while.

"Miss Lanzhi, how should we collect blood scorpions?"

Fengyun was a little curious.

He wanted to know how she broke through the expanding poisonous smoke and got the blood scorpion from the big pit.

"We don't have to do anything. Just wait."

"wait?"

Mulanzhi's answer was indeed beyond Fengyun's expectations.

Originally, he expected her to come up with some methods to avoid being harmed by the poisonous smoke.

But after thinking about it, he believed her words.

If she, or more precisely, the witch had a way of not being harmed by the poisonous smoke, she would not have cited those painful examples when explaining the blood scorpion to him.

"Although the blood scorpion's venom is terrible, it also has a fatal weakness, that is, it is afraid of high temperatures. The weather is very good now. The sun is very strong. Under the sun's rays, it won't take long for its toxicity to disappear. Almost disappeared."

"Frying the blood scorpion is also to get rid of its residual poison?"

I heard Mulanzhi say that the blood scorpion's venom is afraid of high temperature. Fengyun couldn't help thinking of the situation where the blood scorpion was fried in the hall of the medicine building.

"Yes. When dispensing the medicine, it is necessary to ensure that the remaining poison of the blood scorpion has been completely removed, otherwise the prepared damage will not only not have the desired effect, but will also cause great harm to the user."

"If the user is injured internally and needs to take medicine internally, the consequences will be even more serious. It is very likely that the user will die."

"The consequences are really dire."

Fengyun very much agrees with Mulanzhi's statement.

"That's why the people in the tribe who are in charge of processing blood scorpions have been specially trained, and they need to go through repeated tests before they can be qualified to fry blood scorpions."

In the small chat between the two, time passed by little by little.

During this process, Fengyun has not given up his attention to poisonous smoke.

The situation was indeed as Mulanzhi said, the blazing sun really did a lot of damage to it.

After its concentration and brightness reached the maximum, it began to decline.

Both the intensity and the color are slowly fading away.

At the same time, its stability became worse and worse, the wind began to threaten it, and the outermost part began to be blown away.

Under the attack of the wind, the poisonous smoke was like an onion, which became smaller and smaller as it was peeled off, until it finally shrank into a big pit.

"All right. We can go through."

Mulanzhi was also paying attention to the situation of the poisonous smoke. Seeing this, she spoke and walked towards the big pit.

Fengyun followed, he was very curious about what the big pit had become now. (To be continued.)
