It was a long time ago that monsters emerged from poor mountains and harsh waters.
In today's era, the monsters in the poor mountains and rivers are either dead or in hiding. At most, there are only some poisonous insects, snakes and ants, and the threat of miasma in the mountains and forests.
On the contrary, evil spirits will exist in some places that are not too dangerous but slightly sinister.
For example, the canyon Jiang Le sees now.
This is a winding, small canyon with no beginning or end. It is one of the most common canyons in the Taihang Mountains.
The peaks on both sides of the canyon are not high and not dangerous, and the distance between them is only 17 or 18 meters wide.
At the bottom of the canyon, a stream flows continuously, with rocks piled up on both sides of the stream.
Jiang Le went down to the canyon and even found waste discarded by tourists on the banks of the stream. There are still traces of camping in some flat areas.
¡°Obviously, people have been here before.
However, after Jiang Le checked the traces of camping, he discovered that these traces were at least two or three years old. In other words, this place was once a place where travelers or camping enthusiasts came and went, but now there are no tourists.
¡°Senior brother, come and see here!¡± Hongshang suddenly screamed.
Jiang Le quickly went over to take a look, and immediately raised his eyebrows.
Among the rocks and dead grass in the corner of the canyon, a pile of broken human bones is shocking.
"It seems that this is undoubtedly the lair of the scorpion spirit. However, when the demon-slaying thunderwood sword arrives here, it loses its sense of thunder and cannot find the lair of the scorpion spirit. This is a bit troublesome."
Hongshang said: "Senior brother, since the scorpion spirit's nest has been determined here, let's wait and see. We're not afraid that it won't come out."
Jiang Le shook his head and said: "This scorpion spirit was injured by me and has been frightened. It is estimated that he will not dare to come out in a short time. We can't just waste it here."
"Haha, Master, there's nothing wrong with waiting here. Look at the beautiful mountains and clear waters here and the fresh air. It's not bad to just think of it as a vacation." At this time, Bai Xiaolong said with a smile.
Jiang Le looked at Bai Xiaolong angrily and was about to speak. Suddenly his eyes moved, and he grinned: "Speaking of vacation, I have a good idea. Xiaolong, here is your chance to stay upright, ward off evil, and slay demons."
Bai Xiaolong's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Master, please tell me. I will not give up even if I die."
The night is getting darker, and the mountains and forests are getting darker.
Behind a big rock in the canyon, Jiang Le and Hongshang stood side by side, looking at a small tent by the stream.
"Senior brother, is this really okay?" Hongshang asked worriedly.
Jiang Le shook his head and said: "I can't guarantee it, but I want Xiaolong to grow up as quickly as possible. Experiencing some dangers will be of great benefit to him."
Hongshang said: "But this is too dangerous. The scorpion spirit can escape from you."
Jiang Le smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. I left an evil-exorcism jade talisman on Xiaolong's body, which can help him withstand a blow. The time of one blow is enough for me to arrive."
Hongshang nodded and said, "I hope so."
Outside the tent by the stream. Bai Xiaolong looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle with a tragic face.
This broke, saying what to say, now, it's okay, it's really dead.
"Zhizhi!"
Beside him, the pangolin half-demon, like Bai Xiaolong, was trembling and looking around with wide eyes.
As a local half-demon, the pangolin naturally knows about the scorpion spirit, and many of the half-demon in this area have been eaten by the scorpion spirit. Even it has narrowly escaped death from the scorpion spirit's mouth several times. born.
However, in order to curry favor with Jiang Le, the pangolin half-demon took the initiative and accompanied Bai Xiaolong as bait.
Yes, it¡¯s the bait.
The scorpion spirit is injured. If there is not enough temptation, it will definitely not dare to come out.
Then the only way is to fish with bait.
Jiang Le and Hongshang are naturally unable to do so. The only ones who can make the scorpion spirit lower its guard are half-demon like Bai Xiaolong and Pangolin who have just gathered their magic power.
For the scorpion spirit, the current white dragon and pangolin half-demon are a delicious feast.
"Are you scared too? Hey, we two brothers can be regarded as brothers in need." Bai Xiaolong sighed.
The pangolin half-demon quickly stretched out his paws and patted his chest with a comforting look on his face.
Bai Xiaolong asked curiously: "Looking at you, are you not afraid of scorpion spirits?"
The pangolin half-demon nodded, then thought of something and shook his head, but quickly raised his two paws with an angry look on his face.Waving with ?, it seems that the pangolin half-demon is also full of resentment towards the scorpion spirit.
"Haha, it seems that I am not as good as you." Bai Xiaolong laughed at himself, then straightened his face and said seriously: "You are not afraid, how can I, a great ascetic, be afraid of a scorpion spirit? Humph, a scorpion spirit, right? Let I¡¯ll try to find out if there¡¯s any way to deal with scorpions?¡±
After saying that, Bai Xiaolong took out a tablet computer from his backpack, clicked on a green icon, and after a quick connection, the wireless signal on the tablet computer was full.
Bai Xiaolong said proudly: "It seems that this modification is still full value, and it will not be missed at the critical moment." After saying that, he opened Baidu, entered scorpion, and investigated the origin of scorpion. Then he entered what are scorpions afraid of? The answers are varied. Geckos, mice, ants, poultry, birds, and snakes are all what scorpions are afraid of.
But after thinking about it for a while, Bai Xiaolong felt that none of this was reliable.
This is a scorpion spirit. He treats people as the masters of his feast. How can he be afraid of just small animals?
After searching again, Bai Xiaolong¡¯s eyes lit up. He discovered that another thing scorpions are afraid of is water!
What is the reason? Scorpions breathe through the trachea in their abdomen. After entering water, the trachea will definitely be blocked by water, and then they will be unable to breathe.
This is reliable and of great use to me.
Bai Xiaolong looked at the stream next to him, with a proud smile on his face.
Sure enough, I ask Google for foreign affairs and Baidu for domestic affairs. Netizens sincerely do not deceive me.
Putting away the tablet, Bai Xiaolong looked at the pangolin half-demon and said with a serious face: "Brother, although Master means that we can lure out the scorpion spirit, but in other words, we can't just use ourselves as bait. We must take the initiative and fight against the scorpion spirit."
The pangolin half-demon looked at Bai Xiaolong in confusion, his expression very clear, can we defeat the scorpion spirit?
Bai Xiaolong continued: "Don't underestimate me. As long as you find the weak point, you can deal with any monster. This is called precise strike, and one blow is fatal." Bai Xiaolong explained proudly.
The pangolin half-demon seemed to understand and continued to look at Bai Xiaolong.
Bai Xiaolong explained: "I just checked and found that scorpions are afraid of water. Let's work together. When the scorpion sperm comes out, we will find a way to lead it into the water and see if I don't block its trachea. Suffocate it."
As he was talking, Bai Xiaolong suddenly noticed that the pangolin half-demon¡¯s eyes suddenly widened and his body froze.
"Eh? What's wrong with you? What I said is true, don't believe it." Bai Xiaolong explained seriously.
The half-demon pangolin squeaked and pointed its claws behind Bai Xiaolong.
Bai Xiaolong turned his head in confusion, and the next moment, he was speechless.
I saw a huge black figure crawling out of the water beside the stream behind me. Under the moonlight, the whole figure was vaguely visible. It had two pairs of large pincers and tall tail spines. Wasn't it what I wanted to deal with? The scorpion spirit?
"Damn it, aren't scorpions afraid of water? How can they come out of the water? This is unscientific!"
