Big Islander 2

Chapter 560 Desert Scorpion
In the afternoon, he continued to move forward under the scorching sun. Brother Big Head still repeated the movements in the morning, shaking his hands so much that he almost threw his arms out. Anyway, in the end, he felt this way, as if his arms did not belong to him anymore.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Xiami felt sorry for Uncle Big Tou, and took over the sowing work, while Tang Jide followed behind and was responsible for urging the grass seeds.

In the end, everyone rushed to complete the work of planting. After all, the sense of accomplishment of making a green corridor by oneself is not comparable to just seeing it with the eyes.

In this way, the speed of travel has been accelerated a lot. When the sun sets, it happens to arrive at the side of the pyramid. The setting sun casts a long shadow on the pyramid, so Brother Big Head decides to spend the night here.

The professor and apprentice are responsible for setting up the tent, while Tang Jide and Du Qizi are responsible for recycling grass seeds, while Mr. Pei and Xiao Xiami prepare the dinner.Although Mr. Pei is known as "the man standing at the top of the food chain", it only represents his ability to survive, not his cooking skills. So after Tang Jide came back and sang about the curry soup he made, he announced that Deprive Master Pei of the right to cook in the future, and let him handle it himself.

In addition to some meat and vegetables for dinner, there is also a delicacy made by Brother Big Tou according to local conditions: fried scorpions.

They were all big scorpions that lived in the desert. They were big and fierce. Their dark brown backs and sharp tail thorns showed that they were not easy to mess with.

But after deep-frying, it turns golden yellow with a sticky aroma.Watching the big head brother take off the poisonous needle from the scorpion tail, throw it into his mouth and chew it, Professor Hawass and his students have a feeling of nausea: Is this edible, it will not be poisoned, right?
But Master Pei's eyes lit up, this thing was too much for his appetite, so he grabbed one after him, and nodded while eating: "It tastes much better than eating it raw."

Perverts, this is simply a group of perverts—a civilized person like the professor can only evaluate these two barbarians in this way, but when he saw that Xiao Xiami picked up a scorpion and ate it, he finally moved the idea of ​​tasting it , but thinking about the teachings in the scriptures, all ugly things are not edible, so I endured it.

On the contrary, his student "Egyptian" is a young man after all. He dared to try boldly. He also pinched a scorpion leg and tasted it.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen scorpions were snatched away by everyone, and people still had something to say.Brother Big Tou heheed twice: "You can't eat too much of this thing, it's a poisonous insect after all."

The pheasant then revealed: "Then you hid a few of them in the pitcher just now, are you going to have them for supper?"

"I'm going to save that one for Mr. Captain and the others to have a try—" the big-headed brother argued with the pheasant blushing and thick-necked. He wanted to lie drunk on the battlefield and eat fried scorpions while drinking a little wine, but he was killed by the pheasant. This thing was exposed.

After everyone ate and drank enough, it was dark, but it was still early to go to bed, so they sat on the felt and chatted. The topic started from the scorpion, and they talked about the "Scorpion King" in ancient Egypt. Pharaoh, once had a significant stroke in the history of ancient Egypt, so Mr. Professor relished talking about it.

"There really is a Scorpion King, isn't it just a legend?" The pheasant doesn't care who you are, even if it is the authority of ancient Egyptian history, it still dares to challenge it.

Professor Hawass is obviously very dissatisfied with this suspicion: "Of course, these are all verified by words and pictures."

Even Du Qizi also chimed in: "And I also heard that the guards of the ancient Scorpion King have been multiplying and surviving until now. They all have a blue scorpion printed on their faces, and they hold shiny curved scorpions in their hands. The sword is responsible for guarding the tomb of the Scorpion King, anyone who dares to disturb the peace of the Scorpion King's soul will be killed without mercy."

While talking, Du Qizi waved his palm at the pheasant's neck as if waving a machete. He finally understood the nickname this guy gave him, so he wanted a little revenge.Sure enough, the pheasant flinched in fright: "The more you talk about it, the more mysterious it is. Most of these pyramids in Egypt have been stolen, and I haven't heard of any scorpion guards showing up. Who are you scaring!"

Although he said so, the pheasant is still relatively timid. While talking, he looked around and saw that the surroundings were shrouded in pitch-black night, the temperature was dropping rapidly, the surroundings were silent, and the sky and the earth were empty. It was really chilling .

"The Scorpion King's guards are coming—" Accompanied by the exclamation of "Egyptian", I saw a few figures flickering in the darkness not far away. With the light of the stars in the sky, they seemed to have something in their hands. Things flashed coldly from time to time, as if they were holding a deadly machete.

Mr. Pheasant screamed, and got into the arms of Little Xiami.It's the middle of the night, so you can't tell a horror story.

"Who--" Tang Jide didn't care too much, and asked carelessly, his eyes were not blindfolded by pheasants, he had already seen clearly, what he was holding was not a machete, but a The flashlight that is on and off is probably not very easy to use.

A woman's voice came from the opposite side: "It's us, the ones who delivered fruit to a few during the day, and brought dinner to the gentlemen."

Soon, those people came to the front, and sure enough, there were the young man and woman whom they had seen at noon inside, and there were several other young people with many lunch boxes in their hands.

Mr. Pheasant couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and chattered indiscriminately: "How did you find it—"

Its IQ is obviously on the decline, the girl smiled: "Of course I found it along the road of life - by the way, we have posted this road of life on the Internet, hoping to attract more people's attention And protection, you don't mind, do you?"

"If someone delivers food every day, of course we don't mind." Mr. Pheasant hurriedly climbed up the pole to cover up the mistake caused by fear just now.

Soon, all kinds of food were placed on the grass, which was really rich enough. It could be seen that they should have ordered them from the restaurant and delivered them all the way.Although Tang Jide was full just now, he couldn't disappoint the good intentions of the young people, so he invited them to sit down and have dinner together under the curtain of the sky and green grass.

The young men obviously admired them and the group, but Mr. Pheasant babbled nonsense and took all the credit for it. He talked so gaudyly that even Du Qizi couldn't listen to it, so he quietly slipped into the tent to sleep went.The old saying is good: If you have money, you can watch The Legend of the White Snake, but if you don’t have money, you don’t listen to the vernacular.

On the other hand, Brother Datou has no opinion at all. He has long looked down on credit and so on.And the young people obviously realized that they couldn't affect the rest of this group of idols, so they agreed to visit again tomorrow, and then disappeared into the darkness again. You can also see the fresh green of the green grass on the sand.

After a tiring day, everyone finally fell asleep, but it was camping after all, so they arranged for everyone to take turns to watch the night.The first one is Mr. Professor. He is covered with a thick blanket and sits there, looking at the starry sky with deep eyes from time to time, wondering what he is thinking.

In the middle of the night, Brother Big Tou got up to change the guard and went out to sprinkle water tens of meters away from the tent.The night wind was blowing, and it was quite chilly, Brother Big Head shivered involuntarily.

Whoops——There was a stabbing pain on the back of the foot. Big Brother looked down, and it turned out that a black scorpion that came out to move at night crawled on his instep and gave him an injection. Big Brother likes to wear straw sandals.

Lifting his foot, he threw the scorpion far away: "Whoever sent you here, it can't be to avenge the same kind, let alone you, even if the scorpion soldiers come, I won't be afraid."

Brother Big Head muttered in a low voice, and then circulated the plant essence to dissolve the scorpion venom. Although this thing is not fatal, if it is allowed to develop, it will still be very painful.

At this moment, Tang Jide's keen eyesight suddenly discovered that a large group of camels were galloping towards this side in the distance. On the camels were sitting warriors in black. They held scimitars in their hands and covered their faces , you can clearly see a black scorpion with its tail raised.

Is there really a guard of the Scorpion King?Brother Big Head's thoughts couldn't help but get messed up in the night wind.

Soon, the camel soldiers rushed forward, and Big Tou finally realized that the slow-looking camel could run so fast.

I saw those black-clothed camel soldiers skillfully controlling the camels below them, and then surrounded the big brother. In the night, they all had stern faces, and the black scorpions on their faces looked terrifying and mysterious.

Brother Datou scratched the back of his head: "Are you the rescuers invited by Scorpion?"

"Who are you, why are you here, and what are your plans?" A slightly hoarse voice rang coldly in Brother Big Head's ear.

Seeing that the scimitars in the hands of the camel soldiers were ready to go, Brother Datou felt a little funny, and asked, "What kind of organization are you, and what are your plans for coming here?"

"Don't think that we dare not kill you!" The other party snorted coldly, somewhat dismissively, "Which priest are you in the kingdom who can master this kind of lost spell and grow vegetation on the sand?"

Hearing what the other party said, Big Brother believed it a little bit. Maybe they are really a secret army handed down from ancient Egypt.It's been thousands of years, and the inheritance has not been broken. It's not easy.So I took a closer look at the faces of these people, and there was a big difference, and I was even more convinced in my heart.

But Brother Big Head has nothing to do with the priests in ancient Egypt, so he shook his head sincerely, and asked, "Were the priests very powerful at that time?"

"Kill, our secret, only the dead can know!" The hoarse voice ordered, and the scimitars flashed with cold light, and quickly slashed at the big brother who came out of the center of the encirclement.The movements were uniform, and the speed of the knife was very fast, with a faint hissing sound of piercing the air.

Seriously—Brother Big Tou let out an exclamation, and then his whole body leaped up into the air, and a few scimitars slashed across his straw sandals.

But the attack didn't end here, there was another whistling sound, but the camel soldiers on the periphery all threw their scimitars, circling and slashing towards Tang Jide in mid-air, the momentum was even more violent than before.
