Chapter 57: Ancient Cave (5)

The dust fog slowly dissipated and accumulated on the scattered gravel, which suddenly added traces of time to the ruined cave. However, after a moment, it looked like countless years had passed. The nine mutated black scorpions shook off the dust on their bodies and crawled in front of the hole exposed after the collapse. It seemed that there was a ferocious monster inside, oppressing them.

Outside the collapsed rock wall is a larger cave. There are more than a dozen strange flowers growing on the rock walls, which emit a brilliant light from the depths of the ground. But the light of the flowers in this huge cave space looks extremely small, reflecting only a dim sky. Under the dim light, you can vaguely see everything in the cave. The cave is about a hundred feet in size, and there is a tall giant tree growing in the bare rock in the middle. The trunk is yellow-brown, and it is as solid as a stone. If you don’t look carefully, no one knows that it will be a tree. There can be at least ten giant trees. It can be seen from the cracked bark that it has been through tens of millions of years, leaving deep marks like a knife and axe. There are sparse branches growing on the trunk, with dry and undying branches, and there are scattered gray and white leaves growing on it, as if they are dead. The cave is only more than ten feet tall. When the giant tree reaches the top of the cave, it seems to be infiltrated, and it is mixed with the rocks on the top of the cave. The branches and gray and white leaves almost cover the entire cave. It is hard to tell whether part of the giant tree is still alive in the rocks, nor can it tell whether there are giant trees in the rocks.

Zhu Zhu was lying under the giant tree, on the exposed roots. His coma consciousness was still circling with the swimming flying fish... Blood flowed out of his mouth, soaking the roots of the giant tree, and the thick roots began to turn blood red. And this blood red slowly spread to the trunk, and the dry bark changed its color as if spring was coming. It was no longer as deep as before, and it looked a little lighter. Obviously, the giant tree was absorbing blood like water, changing its vitality.

Blood red is still spreading upwards, and the branches and leaves are full of vitality wherever they pass, and a faint blue color appears in the grayish white. When the blood red color spreads to three meters high in the trunk, it suddenly stops and all rushes to a fist-sized ball. The ball suddenly grows on the trunk, yellowish-brown, almost the same color as the trunk. If it weren't for the bulge outside, it would be hard to believe that there is a growth here.

Zhu Zhu let out a painful moan, and in his vague consciousness, he felt that the blood in his body seemed to be attracted by a force, and the blood radiated and became hot and boiling. Blood flowed out of the wound like a spring and scattered on the thick tree roots. He began to have hallucinations, as if he was trapped in the abyss, with darkness around him, and countless cold ghost hands sucking his body... At this moment, Zhu Zhu's chest suddenly flashed with a faint light, and like a giant beast hit him, his body involuntarily flew out of the tree trunk and fell heavily to the ground. He did not make any sound, but in fact he had no sense of consciousness.

The blood on the roots was quickly absorbed, and no blood marks were left behind. The blood-red color on the trunk also disappeared. The giant tree was three feet below the dead tree, like a dead tree, and the dry and cracked bark appeared a luster color, and the leaves also changed from grayish white to blue. However, there was no change at all, and it still showed the color of a stone like it was dead.

"Pu" and the vegetation ball on the trunk suddenly fell down. The yellow-brown bark wrapped outside was smashed to pieces, revealing a thumb-sized red amber from it, crystal clear as jade, moist and smooth. The clear red amber was wrapped with a ferocious scorpion. The scorpion carapace was dark, with red eyes, and a whole body was covered with spikes. A red line penetrated from the head to the end, like a blood groove. The red tail color was even more dazzling, looking powerful and bloodthirsty.

The nine mutated black scorpions outside the cave entrance suddenly stepped back a few steps, staring at the red amber in the cave, as if they were seeing a natural enemy, their eyes were full of horror, and their bodies were trembling.

When Zhu Zhu woke up, a red-tailed black scorpion with a palm-sized thorny body was lying on his chest, looking at him with red eyes. Zhu Zhu was startled and exclaimed, "Why is it a scorpion again?" When Zhu Zhu jumped up, he found that the red-tailed black scorpion had climbed onto his shoulders. The red-tailed black scorpion looked like a naughty child at this time. He looked at Zhu Zhu, suddenly turned around and screamed "squeaked", and he looked cheering. Zhu Zhu didn't understand the beast words, but could see that the black scorpion showed kindness to him.

He murmured to himself, "You don't have to be afraid of this scorpion!" Then he stretched out his hand. The red-tailed black scorpion seemed to know Zhu Zhu's thoughts and quickly climbed onto his palm. The red-tailed black scorpion screamed a few times and started to spin again, looking very happy. "You are so good!" Zhu Zhu wanted to bite the red-tailed black scorpion's carapace, but he couldn't help but hold it back when he saw the spikes on the carapace.

At this time, a pain came from the abdomen on the legs. After checking, I found that there were several wounds in these places at some point. Although they were no longer bleeding, the wounds did not heal. I think it was because the wound was involved when they were moving. After simply bandaging the wound, Zhu Zhu looked around to check the surrounding environment.

Everything in front of you is like a dream, the vast cave space, the strange giant trees, and the flowers like night lights all surprised Zhu Zhu. I didn’t expect that there would be such a place where rare giant trees in the world grow and sun-like flowers grow in the simplest way to make up for each other and maintain life. The strange flowers provide light sources for the giant trees, and the giant trees nourish the strange flowers with their huge vitality. They depend on each other to survive until today.

The red-tailed black scorpion was not interested in Zhu Zhu's thinking at all. It lay quietly on Zhu Zhu's shoulders, motionless as if she was asleep.

At this moment, the scorpion cries suddenly sounded at the entrance of the cave, which immediately woke Zhu Ruru Meng up. He could hear the sound of the mutated black scorpion.

Zhu Zhu looked up and immediately took a step back in horror. He didn't expect that the nine mutated black scorpions were still alive, and were staring at him at the entrance of the cave. He wanted to draw the sword, but found that his hands were empty. He just remembered that he had not seen the Umbrella Shadow Thousand Star Sword just now, and there was no trace of the Umbrella Shadow Thousand Star Sword in the entire cave. He thought that he was pressed into the collapsed rock wall gravel. At this time, the other side was occupied by the Umbrella Shadow Thousand Star Scorpion.

The red-tailed black scorpion opened its eyes, and its blood-red eyes made a mighty look. The scorpion's tail was towering, posing in a fighting posture. It made a low cry, like the muffled thunder on the vast earth. Zhu Zhu didn't feel clearly, but the mutated black scorpion at the entrance of the cave seemed to be struck by lightning and suddenly became panicked. They suddenly lay on the ground, motionless.

The red-tailed black scorpion jumped down from Zhu Zhu's shoulder and appeared on the ruins outside the cave entrance the next moment. Its petite figure was like a black dot in the gravel rubble, and it would not be visible without looking carefully. However, it was born with an emperor-like aura, faintly exuding a pressure, making all creatures surrender. The nine mutated black scorpions were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, motionless, willing to receive the poison of the life of the red-tailed black scorpion.

Zhu Zhu was shocked to see such a scene. Unexpectedly, such a small red-tailed black scorpion could actually top the mutated black scorpion with a stone plate. It was incredible. Everything he saw in the next moment made Zhu Zhu feel inexplicable. The red-tailed black scorpion jumped up and climbed to the head of a mutated black scorpion. He heard a "crack" and "crack" sound of his head being bitten, and a low scream. After a moment, all the sounds returned to a quiet state. The brain of the mutated black scorpion was sucked away and turned into a dead corpse. The red scorpion opened its blood-red eyes and showed a satisfied look. The red line on its back became brighter, as if it was stained with blood. There was almost no change.

The remaining eight mutated black scorpions suddenly surged up, swallowing the corpses of the mutated black scorpion in a moment. Their bodies became a little bigger, and their carapaces were as bright as black iron. What's even bloodier is that the red-tailed black scorpion crawled onto another mutated black scorpion and began to bite the head and suck brain... They sucked brains continuously, and after swallowing the corpse, there were only four mutated black scorpions left. The red line on the back of the red-tailed black scorpion had turned dark red, and the head seemed to be a little bigger.

The red-tailed black scorpion seemed to be proud, and then screamed in a low voice to the gravel rubble cave. Then he saw countless black scorpions emerge from the cracks of the gravel and gather in pieces toward it. The remaining four mutated black scorpions began to slaughter and devour the ordinary black scorpion frantically. At this time, the ordinary black scorpion suddenly became a lamb, no longer struggling, no longer resisting, and then died. The collapsed cave turned into a hunting ground.

The poison continued, while the red-tailed black scorpion was already returning to the huge cave. Its body seemed to become very heavy, and it walked very slowly with its staggering steps. The red-tailed black scorpion did not climb onto Zhu Zhu's shoulders, but dragged a red amber to Zhu Zhu's feet and whispered: "Shishe" and "Shishe".
