Koi Survival Code

Chapter 40 The Strangeness of Confession
Zhou Yang stared at his outstretched hand and was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and followed.

Shen Lian and Zhou Yang still cautiously sandwiched Qiao Nuonuo one behind the other.

The three of them followed behind the inch-cropped man, and opened a distance without any trace.

The cropped man occasionally turned his head to look at them, and then continued to lead the way with large strides in front of them.

Hearing Shen Lian's reminder, Qiao Nuonuo carefully paid attention to the surrounding environment.

Sure enough, there are only that kind of weird trees in this forest, and every place looks so similar.

If someone who doesn't know the situation enters rashly, he will definitely lose his way in a short time.

Although the mission doesn't ask the explorers how long it takes to reach Cizer's castle, who knows if there are any traps in it.

According to Qiao Nuonuo's idea, naturally the sooner the better!

When passing a certain tree, Shen Lian's footsteps paused.

Qiao Nuonuo looked over sharply, and following his line of sight, he saw a faint trace carved on the tree trunk.

The pattern is very simple, like a crescent moon and a sickle.

It should have been left by the crop-headed man, no wonder he strode like a star all the way, presumably he has turned around the area around here, she thought so in her heart.

It seems that this person should have also discovered that the problem of getting lost easily in the forest is really surprisingly keen!
She felt more and more troublesome about this person.

If he discovers the point mechanism later, there is no guarantee that several people can cooperate peacefully in this way.

If it really comes to the point of life and death, I am afraid it will be a fierce battle...

She didn't trust the inch-cut man, and she used her mental power to cover the area around the three of them along the way to eliminate danger.

Suddenly, a strange breath broke into the range covered by her mental power.

That thing was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to rush to Qiao Nuonuo's face.

She stopped abruptly, her eyes widened slightly, her hair stood on end for a moment, her whole body became stiff with tension.

defense!defense!
She heard a voice in her heart screaming frantically to remind her.

But she seemed to have roots under her feet?

There was clearly nothing in front of her eyes, but her spiritual power clearly told her that there was something, and it would rush right in front of her eyes!

If you don't fight back, you will die!

Under the anxiety and tension, a burst of anger suddenly appeared in her chest, anger at the threat of death.

The body that was out of control was also controlled by her again because of this power.

She fiercely swung the knife in the direction of her breath.

With a snort, she clearly felt something cut by the blade.

After a successful blow, she quickly took two steps back.

Only then did she see clearly that the thing that she had cut in half was curled up, twitching and struggling desperately on the ground full of dead branches and leaves.

The pitch-black body is about the size of a grown man's fist, wielding a pair of large pliers, and flicking its tail wildly.

Qiao Nuonuo clearly saw that there was a long, sharp poisonous needle growing from the tail, which glowed a strange purple-black color under the light.

"what happened?"

Zhou Yang was startled by Qiao Nuonuo's sudden big movement, and looked a little strange at the little girl who retreated all of a sudden.

In the next second, she was startled again by the fierce eyes shining on her expressionless face.

"No, Nono?"

He looked at her cautiously, with questioning in his eyes.

Qiao Nuonuo ignored him, and kept his eyes fixed on the big guy who was split in half on the ground and still alive.

"Scorpion?"

Shen Lian looked at the large scorpion curled up and twitching on the ground with a condensed expression. A large pool of yellow-green mucus had already flowed from its body, but it was not dead yet.

This thing approached quietly, and neither he nor Zhou Yang noticed it!

Shen Lian's eyes were a little gloomy.

The inch-cut man leading the way heard the movement and came over.

Seeing the scorpion in the place, he glanced at Qiao Nuonuo in surprise, seeing that the machete in her hand was still stained with a little mucus, and there was a flash of understanding in her eyes.

Regarding the appearance of the scorpion, he didn't seem to be surprised at all.

Zhou Yang finally noticed the scorpion on the ground after Shen Lian made a sound.

He reflexively took a big step back, bluffing and shouting

"Fuck! Where did such a big scorpion come from!"

He backed away a little in response, and only then was he in the mood to speak.

"This thing is not quite right! Boss, didn't you say before that you didn't see any living things?"

"It's really not right."

Shen Lian ignored the question behind him, and his gaze remained on the curled and twitching scorpion on the ground, making it difficult for people to see his expression clearly.

After a long time, the scorpion that had already been split in half finally stopped convulsing slowly under the watchful eyes of a group of people, as if it was dead.

Zhou Yang wanted to step forward subconsciously, but was stopped by Qiao Nuonuo.

"Don't move, you're not dead yet."

Her complexion was condensed, and her pair of clear black eyes were full of seriousness.

"Not dead yet?!"

Zhou Yang looked at Shen Lian dumbfounded. Seeing him nodding, he looked at the little girl standing in front of him with a strange expression.

"Is this what you mean by danger?"

Qiao Nuonuo's face was frosty, and he looked sharply at the cropped man standing aside as if nothing had happened.

"maybe."

He raised his eyebrows, and there was a moment of vividness on his rigid face.

"After all, I haven't really gone in."

"Let's go on."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, covering the coldness in her eyes, and said softly.

"Ah."

Shen Lian nodded and walked to Qiao Nuonuo's side.

"Aren't you hurt?"

Qiao Nuonuo shook his head, but said nothing.

Shen Lian patted her shoulder reassuringly.

Children are in danger, and it is rare to see that people's hearts are unpredictable. It is understandable that they feel uncomfortable!
A few people set out on the road again, this time the three of them were more cautious, and indeed encountered several such weird scorpions along the way.

"Damn it, the vitality of this thing is really tenacious! It's as if it can't be killed!"

Zhou Yang held a wrist-thick wooden stick, and as if venting his anger, he stabbed the scorpion that was sneaking up on him on the ground to pieces.

The yellow-green mucus flowed all over the ground, and the black carapace was crushed by him, forming a black lump, like a puddle of mud.

"Are you disgusting?"

Qiao Nuonuo gave him a disgusted look, pursed his lips, and walked to Shen Lian's side.

"The scorpions appeared more and more densely. Normally, this thing would not actively attack people, but the scorpions here are obviously different."

Frost seemed to condense in the deep light gray eyes, looking at the back of the inch-cropped man, it became colder and colder.

"Can it be the same? Damn, it looks like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death. This is too resistant to beating! They have been dismembered, and they can still move!"

Zhou Yang was cursing, this thing was so fast that he almost caught himself several times!

Can you be angry?

"Be careful not to get stuck by them."

Shen Lian turned his head and reminded the two of them.

The few people walked for about 10 minutes, and the short-haired man in front of him suddenly stopped.

"arrive."

He turned his head and said to the three people behind him.

He also looked a little embarrassed, after all, he walked in the front, and there were only a few scorpions attacking him.

It's just that although he was embarrassed, he didn't seem to consume too much physical strength, his breathing was still very steady, and his eyes were sharp.

It was just because of the lack of water and food for a long time that his complexion was not pretty, his lips were chapped and peeled, and there was an unconcealable exhaustion between his brows.

Qiao Nuonuo followed the direction he was pointing at, and sure enough, he saw several fallen trees with crooked branches and a few scattered dead leaves.

These trees just blocked their way, and through the sparse branches, Qiao Nuonuo saw the nest on the pile of rocks not far away at a glance.

What caught her attention the most was, of course, the two wooden boxes placed firmly above the pile of rocks.

This wooden box is exactly the same as the material box she got from the uninhabited island in her space.

She had no doubts, this should be the driver's mouth, the system's gift to explorers!

There was a trace of surprise in her eyes, she turned her head and looked at Shen Lian, both of them had a sense of certainty in their eyes.

Qiao Nuonuo, who had calmed down, did not rush forward, but completely released his mental power, and carefully examined the surroundings.

Facing the supplies at his fingertips, this man with a cropped head didn't dare to go forward alone. There must be something weird around here.

The spiritual power explored the surroundings inch by inch, and suddenly, a rustling sound was transmitted into Qiao Nuo Nuo's mind through the spiritual power.

what is that?
She was puzzled, concentrated her mental strength and focused on exploring the direction of the voice.

Suddenly, a drop of cold sweat dripped from the corner of her forehead.

Feeling the dense breath coming from the place covered by spiritual power, the hairs all over her body were flaring, and her clothes were drenched in cold sweat almost instantly.

She opened her eyes abruptly, before the panic in her eyes completely dissipated, she met Shen Lian's gaze.

"No, I can't go there."

She stretched out her hand to grab the corner of the heavy clothes, and tightly held the piece of material in her hands.

Her lips trembled slightly, and her delicate little face was also a little pale. If she was too close, Shen Liang could even hear her uneven breathing.

"what happened?"

He looked at her lightly, and stroked her sweaty short hair comfortingly, with a soft expression.

"A lot... a lot of scorpions."

She took a breath, and the mental power feedback to her mind was so clear that the goosebumps all over her body couldn't subside for a long time.

There were waves of chills in her heart, and the violent physical reaction made her look very bad.

Shen Lian pondered for a moment. In fact, since he discovered the scorpion, he had some vague guesses. Now hearing Qiao Nuonuo's words confirmed his thoughts again.

The lair that the inch-headed man mentioned was obviously the lair of that kind of weird poisonous scorpion.

This kind of scorpion is extremely aggressive, and its vitality is extremely tenacious, highly poisonous, and its size is larger than normal scorpions.

It's okay if there are one or two, but if they appear in groups, no matter how good their skills are, there is no way to destroy them.

If you don't make it right, you have to put yourself in it!

Shen Lian looked at the wooden box that was shining brightly through the branch of the tree, his eyes were flickering and flickering, making it unpredictable.
