Verse 177 - Count against each other

The Gu scorpion is not an ordinary mountain scorpion, but a special scorpion species that the wizard of the Miao family personally bred and cultivated, not only is it big, the armor is thick, and it is full of energy, and the scorpion hook is highly poisonous.

The price of scorpion venom is more than gold, it is an important pharmaceutical raw material, every once in a while, there will be pharmaceutical companies to buy, scorpion shell is rich in chitin, scorpion internal organs and meat rich in xenoprotein have extremely high economic value.

However, it is a bit like hybrid rice, where only one generation has an advantage, and the second generation will quickly degenerate and become mediocre.

Therefore, the Gu scorpions in this Miao family ancient village are unique species, and the Gu scorpions carefully selected for Li Bai are enough to be the size of an adult's fist, each of them has five taels, which is bigger than the hairy crab, sinking in the seasoned batter, throwing it into the oil pot with teeth and claws, and trying to climb out in the bubble wrapping, which shows the tenacity of its vitality.

Fortunately, the pot is big and deep, so it is crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, with tongs and tails, and it is like a fried stone crab wrapped in eggs in your mouth, full of delicious protein.

As for parasites, there are absolutely none, Gu itself is the biggest parasite, under the cultivation of the wizards of the Miao family, how can it be taken advantage of by other insects.

In a large pot of fragrant fried Gu scorpions, thirty-two of them entered Li Bai's stomach, and eighteen were robbed by the Qingyao Demon Maiden.

When it comes to grabbing food, Big Devil Li can't rob the demon girl.

The latter is one bite at a time, crisp and neat, if he hadn't made a preemptive strike, maybe most of this pot of fried Gu scorpions would have fallen into someone's mouth.

Even if he was robbed of a part by the demon girl, eating Gu scorpions for more than thirty years still made Li Bai satisfied.

Wait for the next day to place an order directly, and wrap all the Gu scorpions in the stockade.

A scorpion costs 400 yuan, and two hundred scorpions are only 80,000 yuan, which is 200,000 yuan a year.

As for pharmaceutical companies and other wizards, ho care?

If you are not convinced, just come to the door!

-

After a satisfying dinner, Li Bai wandered around the village with his hands behind his back (patrol?).

Since he had promised the old wizard, he had the responsibility to temporarily shelter this ancient village of the Miao family.

Some of the walls that have collapsed over the years have been repaired, and adults have no way to climb easily.

The former peace and tranquility are gone, and the village is filled with tension, and even the children who like to play outside are driven home early.

At sunset, the torches are lit early, inserted on the walled wall and the roadside, and the young and strong Miao family carrying bamboo bows and Miao knives can be seen at the gate and alley entrance.

The guests who followed President Liu Jiu as a guest in Miao Village were all gathered in the Drum Tower. A bamboo shed was erected temporarily so that the old wizard could take care of it.

The old wizard sat in the drum tower, and Li Bai wandered around the village, moving and still, guarding against the unknown wizard.

In the darkness after the sun sets, it seems that a pair of eyes are glued to the village.

The reinforcements invited by the old wizard of Miao Village have not yet arrived, but the bad news has come in advance.

At least two partial collapses occurred on the road out of the village, which meant that the reinforcements had to come on foot, and the electric sightseeing buses in the village had no way to go out to pick them up, so they had to turn back.

There was neither an earthquake nor a sudden rainstorm, and the inexplicable collapse was not normal, and the old wizard and the others smelled a sense of conspiracy from it.

After walking around the village a few times, Li Bai, who quietly left some magic circles, volunteered to meet the wizards who were invited.

The old wizard originally wanted to object, but Li Bai thought that he could act as a bait to attract the sorcerer away, and would not let the village's defenses be empty and taken advantage of by foreign enemies.

After careful consideration, the old wizard and President Liu Jiu finally agreed to this proposal.

This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only to divert the tiger from the mountain, but also to receive reinforcements blocked outside the mountain.

Li Bai is not afraid of scabies at all, and he is the best person in the village who can go out.

If you change to someone else, I'm afraid that if you don't go far, you will be conspired against.

is not afraid that the other party will not take the bait, once the wizard outside the mountain arrives in the village, there is no need to worry about the sorcererity.

I'm afraid that the other party doesn't know that the village already has an antidote to the poison, and it is not at a loss.

"Ali, you follow Doctor Li and protect him. ”

The old wizard sent his most powerful assistant to Li Bai.

The man of the Miao family patted his thick chest heavily, and said categorically: "Great wizard, Ah Li will definitely spare his life, whoever wants to touch Doctor Li must step on my Ah Li's corpse first." ”

He was wearing a simple bamboo armor, a sharp Miao knife hanging from his waist, and a bamboo crossbow on his back, which was the best equipment for the mountain people.

In the past, there were earthen guns in the village, but they were later taken away by the police.

"Ali, no one can hurt me, you have to protect yourself first, understand?"

In order to prove his words, Li Bai also took out the soft frog that was lying on his stomach like a noodle.

It's really doubtful, who can this pet snake protect?

"Uh-huh! Ali knows. ”

I don't know if it's really stupid or pretending, Ali nodded vigorously.

After leaving the gate, Ali carried a flashlight and released a bright light.

He knew everything about the grass and trees nearby, even if it was a crack on the cement path, it made no difference whether there was a flashlight or not, and he specially brought a flashlight, but it was to illuminate the road under Li Bai's feet, while shining it, he also reminded him.

"Doctor Li, will that wizard sneak into the stockade?"

After leaving the village, Ali was a little worried.

Now that the defenses in the stockade are weak, I am afraid that the sorcerer will take advantage of the weakness.

"Do you think it's easy for the two of us to start here, or is it easy to start in the village?" Li Bai didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

Ali's flashlight light suddenly flickered, and he was silent for a moment, and then said angrily: "Okay, it seems to be the two of us!"

Whether it is easy to deal with two people, or how easy it is to deal with the entire village, this answer is obvious, even the honest Ali can make a judgment immediately.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains, which is really a helpless answer!

Ali knew very well that this road would not be peaceful, so he did not hesitate to choose to do his best to protect Li Bai when he arrived at the place of the mountain and joined those wizards who came from afar.

This is a matter of life and death for the village, even if it is worth sacrificing one's own life.

"First of all, you have to protect yourself first, so that you don't cause trouble for me, so as not to accidentally destroy you as well. ”

Li Bai saw the collapsed rocks in front of him, the amount was not large, and they were piled up more than a meter high, but they covered the entire road, enough to make vehicles unable to pass.

Obviously, this is deliberately targeted behavior.

If you want to dredge it again, you will have to wait at least until after dawn tomorrow, and a lot of work can happen in one night.

"Yes, yes!"

Ali looked sincerely scared, he didn't want to be killed by Li Bai, he was too wronged.

Squeak!

A soft whistle mingled with the sound of nearby insects.

Walking in front, Li Bai, who was about to climb over the pile of rocks, suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand to catch Ah Li.

"What?"

Ali was startled, as if something had happened.

"Someone's plotting!"

Li Bai shook a thin needle in his hand.

I don't know what material it is made of, it is very lightweight, black and red, and the front end is very sharp.

"Hedgehog thorns?"

After following the old wizard for a long time, Ali has also learned a lot of things, and can distinguish some unusual and strange things.

When he saw the thin needle that Li Bai had just stopped, a cold sweat immediately broke out on his head.

The hedgehog thorn is the toughest thorn on the hedgehog's back, don't look at the dense spikes are no different from each other, there are still some subtle differences, the texture is tougher, more straight.

The special spines extracted from the specially raised hedgehogs often have threads, which can not only inject poison into the hollow stabs, but also shoot them silently with a blowpipe, and even nail them to iron plates.

If Li Bai hadn't stopped him, this hedgehog thorn might have shot into his brain from Ah Li's face, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

In just a moment, Ali walked around in front of the ghost gate.

It's dangerous!

The man of the Miao family finally understood why Dr. Li had to repeatedly remind him to protect himself first.

He was completely defenseless against the silent attack of the hedgehog.

"Come out!"

Li Bai picked up a few stones and threw them fiercely in the direction where the hedgehog thorn flew from.

The flying stones carried great force, and smashed into the grass with a whistling sound, shattering all the branches and leaves that they touched. One passage after another was smashed out.

If it hits someone, a rock might be able to hit the back from the chest.

Since the other party used such a vicious secret weapon, Li Bai no longer kept his hand.

But when he counterattacked, the opponent had immediately and quietly retreated after missing a blow.

Those stones were completely futile except for smashing over some flowers and plants.

"The man is gone!"

Seeing those messy grasses, Ali held the bamboo crossbow in his hand and was secretly frightened.

How hard it takes to wreak havoc.

"It's a pity!"

Li Bai shook his head with some regret, leaned over and picked up a stone, pinched it gently, and immediately shattered it into an even small stone.

As he continued on his way, he occasionally fired a small stone into the grass.

If he is in the other world, his glass heart can cover a radius of one hundred and fifty or sixty zhang, and if there is something hidden nearby, there is nothing to hide, and he will not use the small means of startling the snake.

"Huh, what's the smell?"

Ali sniffed, and his face suddenly changed.

When he realized something, it was too late, his eyelids inexplicably became heavy, his mind was dizzy, and he fell to the ground.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

A low sound of flapping wings sounded in the darkness, and several finger-sized things flew towards Li Bai's back at lightning speed.
