Chapter 320 A World Rampant with Bizarre Events (8)
Several explosive tags detonated, and the scorpion swarm, no longer in formation, began to scatter.
"Hurry up and go! Each one of these is worth ten points. Remember to aim for the head if you can, as it's their weak point!" Wangyou said as she ran towards the scorpion swarm, taking down one scorpion with a single punch.
[This girl is so fierce, she can take them down with one punch!]
Those grown men are too weak; we still need the young ladies.
Seeing how easily Wangyou killed them, the others also raised their fists, only to be quickly taught a lesson by reality.
One punch sent them soaring three feet into the air in pain; this thing was incredibly hard.
Seeing that Wangyou was happily pounding away, the three of them had no choice but to work together to fight the scorpion.
Out of the corner of her eye, Wangyou saw the three people being forced back. She seemed to have forgotten something, so she ran over to them.
Then he drew three powerful talismans in succession, saying, "I've drawn powerful talismans for you, hurry up and start hitting!"
[Power Talisman? Our country actually has a Power Talisman! How come we didn't know about it!]
I've already graduated from university and I didn't even know the country had developed this kind of talisman!
[Could it be that this was created by the girl herself...?]
The people from the Ministry of State Security also looked at each other in bewilderment. The investigation data showed that this was a girl who was lazy except for having high requirements for food. At most, she read a variety of books. Could it really be something she created herself?
The viewers watching the live stream were stunned once again as they saw the three people on the screen, empowered by the Great Strength Talisman, taking down a giant scorpion with a single punch.
After the four men's tireless efforts, they wiped out the small swarm of scorpions. Looking at the scorpion corpses scattered on the ground, the four men collapsed from exhaustion.
Wangyou shook her aching hands and rested for ten minutes before casting a spiritual energy talisman on herself. The spiritual energy entered her body, and the aches and pains quickly disappeared.
Wangyou glanced at the four people beside her and then raised her hand to serve them a meal.
"Let's see how many points we each have and what we can exchange them for." After drawing the talisman, Wangyou sat down to recover her strength while looking at what she could exchange for.
“I have 189 points. Only the first 10 are worth 10 points each, the next few are worth a maximum of 5 points each, and the last few are worth only 1 point each.” Shen Erge’s face instantly turned ugly after reading this.
“I have 220 points, just like Shen Suifeng,” Tian Zhuang said.
“I have 289 points, and the situation is the same,” Liu Yong added.
"I have 428 points. It seems that these monsters are limited, just like in a game."
The four of them had about a thousand points. Wangyou opened the shop and bought herself a dagger for 50 points, and also some salt. "Does anyone here know how to cook or grill meat?"
"I know some," Liu Yong said, raising his hand.
"Then let's quickly break down these scorpions; they'll probably be our main source of food in the future," Wangyou said with a smile.
"Aren't there food items in the mall? We can exchange them!" Brother Shen said, puzzled.
"We're not in a hurry for the items in the mall. These giant-tailed scorpions are first-tier exotic beasts. Their meat must have benefits that we don't know about. Eating them will definitely help us survive here."
“That makes sense, but we still need to check if it’s poisonous,” Liu Yong said cautiously.
"I studied medicine for a while, so I can tell if something is poisonous. However, I can't cook, and the food I make is poisonous, so don't count on me." Wangyou felt it was better to make some things clear beforehand.
“Then I can learn.” Second Brother Shen thought Wangyou’s words made sense, but it wasn’t good to let Liu Yong cook alone, so it would be good for him to learn.
"Then I'll learn too!" Tian Zhuang said shyly. He used to be a boxer and had never cooked before.
The four of them split up to deal with the scorpion carcasses on the ground. Wangyou cleanly dissected the scorpion. The scorpion shell that hadn't been blown apart was very hard and could be used to make armor. As for the meat, only the head was poisonous, while the rest of the meat was not, which was different from what they usually saw.
The group put the processed scorpion meat and shells into their system inventory.
"Why doesn't this system have an automatic decomposition function?" Several people lit a small pile of charcoal, used the water talisman made by Wangyou to clean the meat, and Liu Yong began to roast the meat.
Wangyou looked at the scorpion shell on the ground and decided to try using it for weapon crafting. Then, a dark green flame appeared at her fingertips.
"This...this must be a strange fire!"
"Yes, it's Nether Flame. I obtained it by chance three years ago. I'll try to see if I can use these scorpion shells to forge weapons."
This operation shocked the outside world once again, with some people from abroad coming online to denounce it as a cover-up.
The scorpion shell slowly melted under the scorching heat of the Nether Flame. Seeing that this method was feasible, Wangyou imagined the shape of the wristband and then made two wristbands.
Wangyou placed it on her wrist, and it fit perfectly. However, she felt it was a bit unnecessary, so she handed it to Shen Erge, who was standing next to her. "Shen Erge, why don't you try it on!"
"These look rather small, you should wear them!" Shen Suifeng refused, and the others didn't even think about having Wangyou make one for each of them.
"Try it on, it's unnecessary for me." Wangyou tucked it into Shen Suifeng's arms, then looked at Liu Yong, "Brother Liu, can we eat now?"
"It'll be ready soon!" Liu Yong smiled, quickly flipped the meat over, sprinkled some salt, and the group's lunch was quickly finished.
"This meat is indeed delicious, full of spiritual energy. I might not be able to eat it even once in a month outside, but I didn't expect to be able to eat it on my very first day here." Tian Zhuang couldn't help but feel grateful that he had been spared back then, otherwise he might not even know if he was alive or dead now.
The way the four of them ate made viewers drool.
"If only this scorpion could be brought to life in the real world like in the novels," sighed a senior official from the Ministry of State Security watching the live stream. In recent years, scientists have discovered that food imbued with spiritual energy can accelerate the cultivation of mystical arts, but such food is extremely rare.
The bigwigs have recently been reading novels in line with the thinking of young people, and seeing this scene inevitably makes them sigh.
Seeing them living a peaceful life while someone else is racing against time for survival, it's hard not to feel a little uneasy!
[They're just cowards, afraid of death. Not only are they quick to act in critical moments, but they also push their comrades to their deaths.]
Seeing this, even as a fellow Chinese, I can't feel any sympathy.
While Wangyou and her group enjoyed a peaceful time, those who had run away earlier soon encountered the Giant-tailed Scorpion. In their panic, they scattered and ran away without thinking.
Gu Ziming's face was grim. Although he had an intermediate-level Xuan Master certificate, he hadn't brought anything with him when he came in. He almost ran to the back and only managed to escape by tripping over a thin person. That person, in the blink of an eye, turned into a complete skeleton.
Moreover, and most importantly, they lost their way in the desert, and the system announced the death toll. From the system's voice, they learned that Wangyou and her group were not dead, so they wanted to go back, but they couldn't find the way back at all and could only keep moving forward.
