When he said this, we immediately put our hearts in our stomachs. This jar is enough to kill 100,000 scorpions, but that group doesn't even have 10,000 scorpions. Anyone can calculate this, so what are we afraid of! Come on!
One group is not enough!
Now a few people were in the mood to eat and drink. They took out the food from their backpacks, took off the military water bottles around their necks, and started eating and drinking. Not to mention, the food prepared for us was really good, all in big chunks.
The dried meat is a bit hard, but very chewy.
After eating and drinking, Liu Haidong shouted, and everyone got up one after another. Professor Guo carefully stuffed the jar containing the white medicinal powder into Liu Haidong's backpack, preparing to continue traveling.
Since they were approaching the place where the scorpions were, in order to prevent the scorpions from sneaking up on them in the dark, everyone lit another kerosene lamp, four in total, one on the front, one on the left, and one on the left. Liu Haidong also turned on the flashlight, and the brightness suddenly increased.
Quite a few.
A group of people advanced all the way to the entrance of the three forks, but found no trace of scorpions, let alone scorpions, not even a scorpion's shed skin could be seen, even though Ma Tuzi shouted several times at the three entrances of the cave,
There was still no movement.
Luo Kaiwen frowned and asked Expert Zhao: "What's going on? Isn't there a group of scorpions? There's not even a shadow of a scorpion! What the hell are you doing?"
Expert Zhao had a bitter look on his face, spread his hands and said: "I don't know what happened, but the last time we came in, we did encounter a scorpion group here, and those few people were indeed stung to death by scorpions in order to protect me.
Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, I can’t be wrong!”
Ma Tuzi laughed "hehe" and said, "Scorpions also know how to seek good luck and avoid disaster! How dare they come out even if they know we have special powder for making them."
Luo Kaiwen turned his face and scolded: "Go! Stay alone! If you continue to answer me nonsense, I will cut your tongue." Ma Tuzi was originally afraid of him, but he was so frightened that he turned around and walked over.
On the side, I didn’t dare to say any more words.
Professor Guo nodded slowly and said: "Maybe it is possible. Scorpions have a particularly sensitive sense of smell and have a certain avoidance of various strong smells, such as paint, kerosene, chemicals, pesticides, quicklime, etc., and they are afraid of them.
Among the things, we at least have chemical powder, maybe they are afraid to come out because of the smell."
Luo Kaiwen sneered: "What? Professor Guo thinks we are all fools, right? The chemical powder is packed in cans and bottles, sealed and put in a backpack. Who can smell it?"
What he said seemed to make sense. Professor Guo thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes flashed and he said: "Then there is only one explanation left. Before we arrived here, the scorpions had already gone out to hunt through other channels. We
Use this opportunity to quickly pass through the caves where they are entrenched, without having to confront them head-on."
As soon as Professor Guo finished speaking, Liu Haidong slapped his thigh and said: "Yes! Let's do it! Anyway, we are not afraid if we encounter them. Of course it is best if we don't encounter them. There is no need for us to go up the pole and hope to encounter a group of scorpions. Let's go.
Let's go! Hurry, go through the cave before the scorpions come back." After saying that, he took the lead and rushed forward.
Although the few of us muttered in our hearts, we could only keep up. These three forked holes were of the same size, each three meters square. The entrances of the holes were extremely smooth, and it seemed that things often came in and out. This made everyone undecided.
Although we have medicinal powder that can deal with scorpions, after all, no one wants to break into a scorpion's lair.
