"No, something must have happened. Let's go back quickly." I said, turning the horse's head and running in the direction from which it came.

Ye Beichen didn't say much and followed me closely.

When we were near the target, we took off our bows and held them in our hands at the same time. We climbed over a hill in front and could already see the resting place.

What I saw in front of me shocked me. Everyone was being besieged by five scorpions. Those scorpions were not ordinary scorpions, because each scorpion was as big as a sheep.

Everyone knows that the spikes on the tail of a scorpion are highly poisonous, but that is a small scorpion that we usually see. I can't imagine how poisonous it is for such a big scorpion.

If I were stung by such a scorpion, I wouldn't know what to do.

Fortunately, the training over the past few months showed its effect at this time. Everyone formed a fan shape to face the scorpion, and fired arrows continuously, which successfully stopped the scorpion's attack.

Ye Beichen and I had to speed up because, except for John and Paul, the arrows shot by the women were very injurious to the scorpions.

It's not that it's not accurate enough, it's that its power is always lacking. After all, we can see the reflective scales of those scorpions from a long distance away.

I estimated that we were still more than a hundred meters away from everyone, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I fired an arrow directly at the big scorpion closest to everyone.

This was my first time using this new bow in actual combat, and I was not sure about it, but I didn’t expect that my arrow shot directly through the head of the big scorpion.

For a while, the remaining four scorpions also switched their attack targets to me and Ye Beichen. While I was surprised by the power of my bow and arrow, I was also glad that I successfully attracted the scorpions' attention. This was exactly the effect I wanted.

The speed of this scorpion was also a few bucks, and the distance of 100 meters was quickly shortened to 50 meters, but this was purely for me and Ye Beichen to test the bow.

The two of us stopped our horses, fired our bows and nocked arrows without dodging, and each of us had two arrows. It could be said that we were evenly matched, and the four scorpions fell to the ground at the same time.

Then everyone quickly gathered around.

"If it weren't for the black face, we would be in dire straits." Ling Han said.

"Yes, I really want to thank Hei Mian this time. If he hadn't warned us in time, we would have been dead," Liu Yue said.

"Can't you see such a big thing?" I asked in surprise.

"They came out of the sand directly," Rumeng said.

"Fortunately, Black Face reminded us that we were prepared in advance. The scorpion was five or six meters away from us when it appeared." Qiu Xue said.

"Old man, you are still reliable." I jumped off the horse and said, stroking the black face's head.

After setting off again, Black Face also regained his previous enthusiasm for me and was now licking my hand.

"Our strength is still too weak. If you hadn't arrived in time..." Luna lowered her head and said.

"It's okay, you have done a good job, at least you can protect yourself." I said.

"But we can't even shoot a scorpion," Jones said.

"This is not an ordinary scorpion. Look at it. It has such thick scales. If it were replaced by something else, you would definitely be able to handle it, even those monsters." I said.

"This scorpion is so big, are there any other strange things in front of it?" Luo Shuang asked.

"We have seen a lot of strange things on this island. Unless he is a monster, he can definitely be killed. You have trained for so long, don't you still believe in yourself?" I said.

"But the power of our archery is too..." Xia He said.

"Practice slowly. Besides, not all animals have such thick scales. Don't be discouraged just because of this incident. It's going to be a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire." I said.

The girls gradually regained their spirits and clenched the bows in their hands again.

"Okay, get on the horse, I wasted a lot of time, let's continue on our way, I want to see what monsters are ahead." I said, jumping on the black face's back and walking forward.

Everyone also mounted their horses and were about to set off when Ye Beichen stopped us.

"What's wrong?" I looked at Ye Beichen and asked.

"This scorpion is so big, if anything else appears in front of it, it probably won't be too small," Ye Beichen said.

"That's true. The locusts were so big and scary back then. What do you think?" I said and jumped off the black face's back.

Everyone also dismounted and walked towards Ye Beichen.

"Don't you think this scorpion is a bit wasted?" Ye Beichen said.

"This thing shouldn't taste good, right? It's so big and it's not easy to cook," I said.

"I'm not talking about eating, I'm talking about the venom on their tails." Ye Beichen said.

"Oh, I see, your idea is great." I said, pulling out the dagger and walking towards the scorpion's body.

"What on earth are you talking about?" the girls asked.

"Poison arrow." I stopped and said with a smile.

This time everyone understood it all, and as if they had suddenly realized it, they tied up their horses and walked quickly towards me.

"It's a waste to smear such a big venom sac like this." I said, looking at the scorpion's tail.

"Find a bottle to put in and take away?" Liu Yue said.

"Good idea, who sacrifices a bottle?" I asked.

"Use this from me, I also have a bottle." Luna said and handed over a plastic water cup.

"I also have one." Ling Han said and handed one over.

"I also have a big one here." Paul said and handed one over.

"Okay, okay, that's enough. Everyone, hurry up and squeeze the venom from these scorpions into the cup, but don't hurt your hands." I said and took the cup from Luna.

After thinking about it, I didn’t use a dagger. What if I cut meat and eat it one day?

After putting away the dagger, I pulled out my sword and easily pierced the poison sac on the scorpion's tail.

"John, leave this to you, I'll help them." I said, handing the cup to John, and walked towards the bodies of the other four scorpions.

Seeing that the girls were about to stab them with daggers, I quickly stopped them.

"Come on, don't touch this with your dagger, in case you cut it into meat and eat it someday." I said and raised the sword.

This time, the girls reacted quickly and put away their daggers. Those holding cups hurried over to catch the venom.

Three cups of venom were filled, but there was still some left in the scorpion's venom sac. I led the others to take out the arrows from the quiver and dipped the arrowheads into the venom.

After finishing all this, we quickly mounted our horses and rushed forward, and the faces of the girls became more confident.

With the blessing of poisonous arrows, even if it only scratches a little skin, it can make the enemy lose its combat effectiveness.

The riding speed is more than four times that of walking. We climb over the dunes one after another, making new discoveries every time, and the originally low plants have become taller.

There are more and more greens on both sides of the river, and everyone has a smile on their face. It seems that I made the right bet when crossing the desert.

"There are woods ahead." Ye Beichen said loudly.

I looked up, and sure enough I saw a patch of green. The mounts under our crotches also became excited and sped up their running speed without our urging.

Seeing the woods getting closer and closer, the heat of the desert made me long for the shade more and more. Everyone rushed into the woods and stood under the shade of the trees, as if they had ushered in new hope.

"Look, I said it's definitely not bad here." I jumped off the black face's back and said.

"I just don't know if there are any big scorpions left." Liu Yue said.

"That's right, then we'd better be careful and find a place to stay first," I said.

"What kind of trees are these?" Ling Han said, touching the tree.

"Don't reach out and touch everything, in case it's poisonous," I said.

Ling Han was so frightened that he retracted his little hand. When he saw me smiling, he gave me a fierce look. He looked so cute.

"Why don't we start flirting before we even settle down?" Rumeng said.

When she said this, Ling Han and I both blushed.

"Let's move on." I said quickly, pretending to be calm.

Before they had gone far, Luna screamed.

"Look what kind of tree that is." Luna said, pointing to a tree with leafy branches and full of yellow fruits.

I followed the sound and looked around. The fruit on the tree was as long as my forearm, and it was so round.

"It looks a bit like a mango tree, but the mango is not that big, right?" I said to myself.

Before I could take action, Ye Beichen walked over, picked a fruit, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

His face changed slightly, and then he tore open the peel and took a bite.

"It's mango." Ye Beichen said.

After receiving Ye Beichen's confirmation, the girls cheered and ran towards the mango tree.
