Chapter 93: Don’t Speak It Into Existence Here!
The next day, in the morning, at nine o’clock.
As soon as the Live Stream Room opened, the netizens rushed in eagerly:
“Haha, I’m dying of laughter, watching a group of Third Brother break down on the foreign internet yesterday.”
“There were so many guys on the field yesterday. Besides those from China, there were also many from Foreign, and they were all sprayed by a group of Third Brothers.”
“It’s too normal. Qi God’s fans are all over the world, and the Third Brothers often stir up hatred on the internet. Aren’t they all gathered together?”
“Seriously, if the Third Brothers didn’t jump around and make sarcastic remarks, who would bother to spray them? Look at South America, Africa, and Britain. They also suffered huge losses in the exploration, but would everyone rush to spray them?”
“There’s a reason why they’re being beaten up. Sometimes it’s really hard to understand some of the Third Brothers’ logic. You can be confident and win by learning Great Accomplishment in China, but you have to step on other countries to get them to admit it. What’s the difference between this and the last time they lost the air battle and went to various countries to promote victory?”
“There’s still a difference. At least the last time they lost the air battle, there was no video of the whole process. They could still say that the plane fell by itself, and the actual combat losses weren’t that great. But this time, they were brutally killed by the giant scorpion in front of the whole world, and even a three-year-old child couldn’t be fooled.”
“Alas, in the blink of an eye, twenty-seven exploration teams that went to the island have already lost four. I don’t know how long the remaining twenty-three can last. I hope fewer people die.”
“Don’t worry. Generally speaking, the first day is the most disastrous when entering an unfamiliar environment. It should get better later.”
“Although the personnel’s quality can’t compare to Qi God, the number of people and equipment are there. They should be fine if they are careful. Just like the Third Brothers this time, if you stay away from that gravel ground, you wouldn’t have been completely wiped out.”
“I don’t know if Qi God will introduce that giant scorpion monster. The previous kill was too clean and neat. If it weren’t for the Third Brothers’ exploration team as a foil, I wouldn’t have felt the opponent’s powerful lethality at all.”
“Yeah, that’s the bad thing about Qi God being too strong. It often makes people actively substitute themselves in, thinking that the monsters on the other side are no big deal, and I can take them down with a slide. But in reality, as soon as you meet them, you slide right into their mouths.”
“Here it comes, Qi God is going to give a lecture. Listen carefully, especially the Third Brothers, don’t fall for it next time.”
……
Amidst the noisy discussions, Liu Wang slowly walked to the front of the camera:
“Hello everyone, I’m your old friend, Qi Xuan.”
“When I was exploring yesterday, I kept telling you that I felt a subtle sense of being watched. The facts show that my feelings weren’t wrong. There was indeed an unknown Ferocious beast eyeing me, and now, I’ve found it.”
“Ta-da! Please welcome our Golden Sand Scorpion!”
The camera turned, immediately focusing on the Golden Sand Scorpion’s huge corpses.
Qi Xuan continued to introduce:
“Don’t look at this big guy now that it’s dead. When it was alive, it was full of vitality, jumping around, lively and lovely. It took me a lot of effort to kill it yesterday, but unfortunately, you all can’t see it.”
The netizens couldn’t hold back when they heard this:
“God damn lively and lovely!”
“The Third Brothers said they have something to say.”
“Say what? Just say whether that thing on the island is alive or not?”
“Red Devil: More alive than me, more alive than me!”
……
“This giant beast is called the Golden Sand Scorpion, but it doesn’t live in the desert. It usually moves in the mountains because there are often many Forest vegetation in the mountains, and the Wild Beast living inside can provide it with a large amount of food, and the hard mountain rocks can’t stop its huge claws and Appendage, which it can easily break through, and it moves around in various places.”
“The Golden Sand Scorpion has two very unique mouths. Its main body should actually be this big thing below, which lives underground all year round and doesn’t usually come out. It often relies on the flexible movement of its Tail to go out and hunt.”
“Generally, when it captures food, it will drag the other party underground to Devour it, and the remains often accumulate near its habitat.
We can see that on this huge Gravel Ground, there are many Wild Beast skeletons, which are what it left over after eating.”
“Speaking of these skeletons, I have to mention the unexpected harvest I found from them.”
Saying this, Qi Xuan pointed to a certain bone in the remains and said to everyone:
“You should have seen these bones, right? These are obviously human foot bones!”
“Yes, they are human! Not the toe-walking animals like cats and dogs, nor the hoofed animals like horses and deer.”
“As for the apes that are very similar to humans, such as the Four-Armed Humanoid we encountered before, the differences are also very huge.
These foot bones have complete arches, unlike the flat and archless apes, the big toes are parallel to the other toes, unlike the apes that have grasping functions, and the hind feet are also more robust and developed, with a larger weight-bearing area, unlike many Gorilla apes that walk with their heels raised, and so on.”
“Overall, these are genuine human foot bones, which means that there must have been Natives active in the nearby Forest.”
Having reached a conclusion, Qi Xuan continued to speak while leaving the Gravel Ground:
“But even if we have determined that there are humans nearby, it may be difficult for us to find them for the time being.
Because only the incomplete foot bones were found here, and there were no other human bones around, including the most important skull.
I have reason to suspect that these foot bones were not from humans who came here to be preyed upon, but were more likely from a Ferocious beast that hunted humans, and then was killed by the Golden Sand Scorpion, along with the human foot bones and its own bones falling here.”
“In this way, the search range is even wider. You don’t know where the Ferocious beast hunted the humans. Nor do you know where it was preyed upon by the Golden Sand Scorpion.”
“Although the Golden Sand Scorpion lives in this Gravel Ground, its activity range is far beyond the Gravel Ground. It can be as small as two or three kilometers, or even as large as fifty or even a hundred kilometers.”
“Unfortunately, this Golden Sand Scorpion doesn’t have any strong opponents nearby, nor does it have any special geological barriers such as Waters. I estimate that its activity range is at least fifty kilometers, which is also the reason why I have been feeling the Sense of being watched yesterday, because I haven’t left its activity range from beginning to end.”
“But the Sense of being watched I felt didn’t come from the Golden Sand Scorpion. It itself can’t monitor the Territory within a fifty-kilometer radius. There are other Creatures helping it, or rather, its symbiont is helping it.”
Saying this, Qi Xuan suddenly slapped the big tree next to him and broke it.
He came to the dense treetops and found some rice-sized gray small insects from the gaps in the Branches.
“These are gray skin beetles. They don’t have any hunting ability themselves and only survive on the tree sap, but they can monitor the Creatures that appear in the Forest, constantly releasing odors, or pheromones, to the Golden Sand Scorpion, reminding it of the arrival of prey.
And after the Golden Sand Scorpion has preyed, the mouth of the Tail will open, and share the remains between its teeth with them, thus forming this very unique symbiotic system.
The Sense of being watched I felt before came from these gray skin beetles. I never expected that this thing would grow on the top of the tree. Basically, the living boundary of the gray skin beetles is the hunting boundary of the Golden Sand Scorpion. If you encounter them in the future, you can pay more attention, otherwise, you may be sneak attacked by the Tail that emerges from the ground.”
Hearing Qi Xuan’s explanation, the netizens were all numb:
“This is too ridiculous! Full map radar?”
“Hiding underground and good at sneak attacks, and there are eyes everywhere. You can’t cheat like this!”
“No wonder those Red Devil Warriors are always caught accurately no matter where they run. It turns out that the whole Forest is a camera!”
“A few kilometers is fine, but if it’s tens of kilometers, or even hundreds of kilometers… Damn, you might not be able to escape even if you run for a day.”
“Those who can survive on the Floating Continent are indeed a group of ruthless people!”
“What to do? I’m getting more and more worried about the exploration team. The larger the Golden Sand Scorpion’s hunting range, the more likely they are to be sneak attacked. The smaller the hunting range, the more likely there are other Monsters.”
“If I were an exploration team, I wouldn’t say anything, I’d go home now. This is not something humans can do. The human scorpion hides underground to sneak attack, and it’s hard to hit even if you have weapons.”
“Thinking about it now, Qi God is still decisive. He went to solve the problem as soon as he found it. Otherwise, it’s really hard to imagine how miserable it would be to be suddenly sneak attacked by the Golden Sand Scorpion.”
“A small, round mouth opens wide and bites hard at the bottom!”
“Don’t say it, the more you say it, the more your butt hurts.”
……
As if sensing the complex emotions of the netizens, Qi Xuan continued:
“Don’t worry, everyone. Although this symbiotic Characteristic of the Golden Sand Scorpion is very strong, it’s not particularly strong. There are many more powerful symbiotic phenomena than it.”
“For example, the Double-tailed Dove, which is snow-white and has two fire-red Tails, looks very beautiful and has great ornamental value, but they are symbiotic with the Stone Iron Beast, responsible for helping to clean up the Tumor-like bodies that often grow under the Stone Iron Beast’s belly. They are the Stone Iron Beast’s favorite little friends. Once they are attacked and cry out in sorrow, the Stone Iron Beast will immediately go to rescue them.
Even I, now, would never want to encounter a Stone Iron Beast. That thing is much harder to deal with than the Golden Giant Scorpion. Not only is its skin thick, but it also carries skills. If you’re not careful, you’ll be gone.
Fortunately, the Stone Iron Beast’s living environment is harsh, and their numbers are relatively rare. Under normal circumstances, the probability of encountering them is quite low. For example, the number of viewers watching my Live Stream exceeds one million, and the probability is higher than encountering a Stone Iron Beast.”
As soon as he finished speaking, next to the Live Stream light screen all over the world, a new light screen immediately appeared.
In the light screen, an Exploration Team from Germany had just pulled the net gun and captured several Double-tailed Doves.
Seeing this scene, the netizens were all dumbfounded:
“Reverse prophet confirmed!”
“Has Qi God’s mouth been blessed? It is recommended to apply for heritage!”
“You, don’t speak the law in this place!”
“Human joy and sorrow are not the same, but Qi God’s crow’s mouth will definitely come true.”
“Tell me what the next lottery number is, I’ll buy it! I’ll buy it, okay?!”
“It’s too late to sigh at Qi God’s prophecy. Next on the list of sacrifices will be Germany.”
“Still laughing? Laugh at your sister-in-law! Run, Hans Cat! The Stone Iron Beast is coming soon!”
……
The netizens were anxious, but the German exploration team in the live broadcast screen was completely unaware of the hidden crisis.
Holding the struggling and screaming Double-tailed Doves, they even began to discuss how much this thing could be sold for outside, enough to go to Rope Street and call a dozen girls to have fun.
Before they could discuss the results, the earth trembled faintly.
The exploration team immediately became alert, and they all raised their Firearms, adjusted their cannon positions, and aimed at the direction from which the tremors came.
The tremors were getting closer and more intense, and the expressions of the people immediately became very nervous.
Judging from this tremor, the one coming from the opposite side must be a big guy, maybe even bigger than an elephant.
More importantly, without extraordinary strength, they wouldn’t be able to grow so big in this dangerous environment.
Big often means danger.
Soon, the big guy they had never met before revealed its true face in front of everyone.
Seeing its appearance, everyone in the exploration team was dumbfounded, and even the Blue Star netizens who were watching the Live Stream were shocked.
The Stone Iron Beast looks like a mass of gray-black Huge Stone, covered with crisscrossing lines, with stout and short limbs underneath, and its head is almost shrunk into its body, leaving only its facial features protruding outwards, and its expression looks solemn and ferocious.
Seeing the exploration team, it let out a low roar, and then charged forward, getting faster and faster, and finally, all four limbs retracted into its body, rolling over like a huge stone ball.
“Open fire!”
“Open fire!!”
In the panicked screams, the exploration team desperately pulled the trigger.
Countless bullets turned into a metal Flood and fell on the Stone Iron Beast, but only splashed dense sparks.
The outer shell looks like stone, but it is even harder than steel.
Even the Grenade Launcher, when fired, only blackened the outer shell, leaving insignificant shallow pits.
And at this time, the Stone Iron Beast had already rolled to the front, and all the team members who couldn’t retreat in time were crushed into minced meat on the spot.
The others around were still celebrating that they hadn’t been crushed.
In the next second, they only felt that they had suddenly gained countless burdens.
Those who were close were crushed and burst open on the spot, and those who were farther away also fell to the ground, one by one with broken bones and tendons, and vomiting blood.
Gravity!
This guy can control gravity!!
The severely injured people on the periphery were filled with rage, and they were terrified, but they couldn’t even escape under the pressure of gravity, and in the end, they could only watch it slowly roll across the field, rolling out a ground of minced meat.
The screen came to an abrupt end.
In various parts of the world, countless people leaned over and vomited wildly.
Even the other viewers who barely managed not to vomit were also quite uncomfortable at the moment.
After Qi Xuan’s reminder, they already knew that the Stone Iron Beast was very strong and difficult to deal with, but the German exploration team was fully armed after all, and they also brought individual Grenade Launchers and rocket launchers and other powerful weapons. They thought that even if they couldn’t beat it, they could at least escape.
But they never expected that as soon as the Stone Iron Beast came, the scene was completely a one-sided massacre.
Not to mention resisting, they couldn’t even escape, and they were all crushed into a plane on the spot.
They really couldn’t imagine what those people who couldn’t escape and could only wait to die on the spot were feeling.
Perhaps there is no more desperate way to die in the world, right?
And while the netizens all over the world were feeling sorry for their kind, on the northwest side of the Island, the United Nations Provisional Management Committee, representatives from various countries gathered together.
Watching the exploration team members die under the Stone Iron Beast’s crushing, the German representative’s face was ashen.
Besides him, the faces of the representatives of other countries were also not good.
The situation on the island was far more dangerous than the people outside imagined.
With the continuous dissipation of the Mist, they had been in intermittent contact with some of the exploration teams inside.
Besides those who were slaughtered by various Ferocious beasts, there were also those who were not acclimatized, those who were inexplicably poisoned, those who encountered traps… Almost every exploration team had a reduction in personnel, and there were even entire teams that had completely lost contact without a sound, not knowing whether they had encountered an unknown attack or were trapped somewhere.
Up to now, as many as twelve teams had completely lost their exploration capabilities, which could account for almost half of those who went to the island.
No one knew how many people would be able to withdraw alive from inside when they completed their established exploration goals.
But for the time being, they couldn’t continue to send exploration teams inside.
Because the internal intelligence of the island was unclear, continuing to send people would still result in a large number of casualties, and the competition between countries still existed, and other countries wouldn’t agree if one country sent people alone.
At most, they would allow the establishment of a joint medical point to receive the wounded who escaped around the Island.
Looking back now, how ridiculous the disputes over dividing the exploration areas around the Island seemed.
The place was allocated to you, but how many have successfully explored it now?
Not one!
“Don’t worry, everyone.”
The bearded Australian representative suddenly said:
“So far, although we have suffered heavy losses, there are also several teams that have suffered relatively minor injuries. When they set up their bases on the island and bring out various kinds of intelligence, our subsequent exploration will definitely be easier and simpler!”
The representatives of various countries whispered to each other, and many people expressed their agreement with this view:
“That’s right. It’s very normal for losses to occur in the early stages of exploration when facing a completely unfamiliar environment, more or less.”
“The key is information sharing. If we have mastered the intelligence of those Ferocious beasts in advance and formulated targeted strategies, the subsequent losses won’t be so great.”
“Anyway, our team will definitely explore that location next time. We have paid such a high price, and we must pass no matter what!”
……
Of course, some people also expressed their opposition:
“You are assigned to a safe area, of course, you can say that.”
“And your equipment is also far better than ours, otherwise, how could we have suffered such a great loss?”
“Saying these big words now is just because you haven’t encountered those Monsters, otherwise, I’ll see if you can still laugh.”
……
The Australian representative frowned and said in a sarcastic tone:
“Weapons are very important, but the personnel’s quality is also very important. Even if we give you the weapons, it’s still meaningless if you don’t know how to use them. Aren’t there still many Fools who have lost their weapons and fled on the island?
Now we haven’t encountered those Monsters, but I believe that with the quality of our Australian soldiers, even if we encounter the Stone Iron Beast just now, we will definitely be able to make a proper response. Not every unit can be called 【Jungle Ghost】.”
As the Australian representative was boasting, in the next second, a light screen suddenly appeared next to Qi Xuan’s light screen.
The protagonist inside was the Australian Special Air Service Regiment SASR, known as the 【Jungle Ghost】, with a famous record of killing five hundred enemies and losing three people in the Vietnam War.
But at this moment, those Jungle Ghosts with great fame were frantically fleeing in the Jungle, and everyone’s expressions were extremely panicked. Not to mention the logistics and supplies, they even threw away the Grenade Launchers and heavy machine guns, just to reduce the burden and escape desperately.
And behind them, were the Fire Sickle Ants, which were full of red.
No matter how those Jungle Ghosts tried their best to escape, they were still completely swallowed up by the dazzling red one by one.
The screen came to an abrupt end, and the light screen disappeared as abruptly as it had first appeared.
The bearded Australian representative stood there, stunned, with a look of disbelief.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally reacted and, in a nervous tone, muttered and roared:
“Something’s wrong!”
“Something’s very wrong!”
“The SASR is well-trained and will never make such a low-level mistake!”
“They have already been smeared with the Blue Firefly Flower, and their whole bodies are blue, why are the Fire Sickle Ants still chasing them?!”
“Qi Xuan, this liar! He must be deceiving us!”
“He provided false information, so he misled the SASR and caused them to be completely wiped out when they encountered the Fire Sickle Ants!”
“He must pay the price for his actions!”
“He must give us Australia and the dead SASR an explanation!!”
Looking at the Australian representative, who was full of rage, Liu Wang, who was also a representative of Da Qian, spoke slowly and unhurriedly:
“Representative Oliver, please don’t slander our country’s important citizens at will. I can give you any explanation you want now.”
“Your exploration team members did smear the blue sap of the flowers, but unfortunately, they didn’t use the Blue Firefly Flower, as many people mentioned in the light screen just now.
I don’t know if they mistook the Blue Firefly Flower or thought that the sap of other flowers would also work, but obviously, they made a fatal mistake.”
“And even if they didn’t make a mistake, even if they were swallowed by the Fire Sickle Ants on the spot, it’s not our fault.
Because it was originally difficult for them to escape, Qi Xuan provided them with a possibility of survival, and you should learn to be grateful instead of nitpicking here.
If you insist on pursuing it, then we also have to pursue the cost of your use of Qi Xuan’s information. How much should we pay for the information fee?”
The Australian representative’s face flushed red after being blocked by Liu Wang’s words.
He reflexively looked at the Lighthouse Country representative on the other side.
But the Lighthouse Country representative seemed to have not noticed the dispute here, and was whispering something to others at the moment.
Seeing this scene, the Australian representative couldn’t help but extinguish the fire on the spot and sat back in his seat with indignation.
Liu Wang smiled slightly, and then looked at the light screen outside.
In the light screen, Qi Xuan encountered a new situation.
PS: There will be more in the evening…
