The three chatted for a while, and then the two brothers stopped drinking. They took Lin Feng to a yard and prepared some armor in the room.
"This thing can protect us from being hurt by tiger scorpions. I specially asked someone to make it for us." Liu Meng introduced.
Lin Feng touched it and tried the feel. It seemed to be fine and it felt solid.
"The tiger scorpion's tail is very hard. Won't it pierce it?" Lin Feng was still a little worried.
"Since the royal bloodline was cut off, each generation of tiger scorpions has become weaker than the previous one. Their strength is definitely not up to par. The reason people can't catch them is because they are so good at hiding and only come out at night."
Although Lin Feng felt that Liu Meng's explanation made sense, nothing can be absolute. Lin Feng did not dare to gamble with them. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that no one would take care of his family after his death.
"It's normal for brother to be afraid. He can't compare with us brothers. Liu Meng, go get him a set of soft armor and put another layer inside, so that he can feel more at ease." Grandpa Liu ordered.
"Okay! I'll get it for him." After Liu Meng said that, he opened a wooden box and found a black piece of clothing inside.
He handed it to Lin Feng and said, "This is made of the skin of a black hedgehog. This little beast may look timid, but its defense is very strong. This clothing can also make it invulnerable to swords and guns. There are not many such clothes in Huangsha City."
After thanking him, Lin Feng tried it on and found it fit him well without feeling tight. His hands and feet could move freely. It was a good thing, but he still had to return the soft armor after the job was done.
In addition to Lin Feng and his two brothers, there were five or six younger brothers who were going together. They all tried out the armor and practiced running so that if things went wrong, they could escape safely.
Time passed quickly and before I knew it, it was dark. There were hot spring pipes laid underground in this compound, so it didn't feel cold at night.
Lin Feng asked the old woman to tell his family that he was busy and not to wait for him for dinner.
"Let's go! Let's go make a fortune, hehe!" Liu Meng patted Lin Feng's shoulder.
Lin Feng smiled. He didn't want to get rich. He just wanted to take his family and leave this yellow sand city.
Everyone came to the back garden of the yard, where there was a rockery and the entrance to the passage was there.
The passage is very hidden and requires Master Liu to twist the mechanism according to a certain pattern to open it.
After a "boom", the entrance to the passage slowly opened.
A downward passage came into view. It was very spacious and two or three people could walk side by side without any problem. This meant that Xiao Hei, the cow, could also walk through the passage.
He had considered taking the cow away to the space tower, but he didn't dare to do so, fearing that the space tower would not accommodate it. It must be said that their family had already regarded Xiao Hei as a member of the family.
The torches illuminated the dark passage, and everyone walked silently in silence.
Lin Feng admired these people's abilities very much. Digging this secret passage was a huge project. How did they do it?
Everyone came to a fork in the road where there was a rail car. This was equipment only used for mining in mines, but they didn't expect it to be found here too.
"It's faster if you take this one." After saying that, Grandpa Liu took the lead and sat on it.
The iron car on the track is very long, and the two tracks underneath are made of iron-clad wood with a very smooth surface.
The younger brothers were responsible for shaking a handle at the back, and the track car started moving. Lin Feng didn't know how it was done, but he just thought it was magical.
The speed was indeed much faster than before, but the road was still very long, and there were basically no turns, it was a straight road to the end.
"We're here!" Liu Meng said, and the younger brothers behind him also stopped moving, and the rail car slowly stopped.
Lin Feng looked at the environment. There was a thick wooden plank on the top of the secret passage to fix the top. It seemed that the soil here was relatively soft!
Master Liu found an iron chain on the wall of the secret passage. He pulled it hard, and a stone door slowly opened. Outside was an endless desert.
The desert at night makes people feel uneasy. The pure darkness and the rustling sound of the wind make people's nerves a little tense.
"Brother, it's up to you now." Liu Meng patted Lin Feng's shoulder.
Lin Feng nodded. Actually, he had no idea. Although the tiger scorpion had been chasing him before, he was not sure what the situation was now.
Then he saw these people start preparing the iron net.
"Do you want to capture the tiger scorpion alive?" Lin Feng asked.
Master Liu nodded and said, "Live tiger scorpions are the most valuable. Dead ones lose their value."
Lin Feng curled his lips. Is this thing so easy to catch? Anyway, they are very fast. As soon as the sun comes out, they will disappear at the fastest speed. This desert is also their home turf.
Lin Feng didn't know what to do next, he just stood in the desert and waited quietly.
Seeing Lin Feng standing there stupidly without taking anything, Liu Meng reminded him, "Brother, it's your turn. At least give us some direction!"
Everyone looked at Lin Feng at the same time. Lin Feng was helpless. When he was about to explain, he heard a rustling sound in his ears.
"Everyone, don't move. The tiger scorpion is coming." Lin Feng reminded.
Before everyone could react, they saw white spots of light appearing in the darkness.
This was the light emitted from the tiger scorpion's eyes, and they rushed towards where Lin Feng was at an extremely fast speed.
"Quick! Quick, prepare the iron net." Grandpa Liu was now feeling both scared and excited. These were tiger scorpions! He had never seen live tiger scorpions before, and there were so many of them.
"No, let's go! There are too many tiger scorpions." Lin Feng quickly reminded them that this was not right.
The number of tiger scorpions far exceeded their previous expectations. Although they had made some preparations, it was obviously not enough to face the attack of the tiger scorpions.
The iron net was spread out and caught more than a dozen of them, but something they didn't expect happened. The tiger scorpion's two claws clamped on the iron net and made holes in it, making it completely useless.
"Hiss hiss hiss" the tiger scorpion's tail made a sound, and they were about to start attacking.
"Oh no, we underestimated you. Let's retreat!" Master Liu pulled Liu Meng up and ran towards the cave entrance. The younger brothers also hurriedly followed him, not even throwing away the iron nets in their hands.
"Ah!" Two younger brothers ran slowly and were knocked down by the tiger scorpion's poison. The armor on their bodies was not enough. The sharp spines on the tiger scorpion's tail broke through them with one poke, just like a sharp arrow, piercing deeply into the iron plate of their armor.
Lin Feng was puzzled. Why was his container house so sturdy? The tiger scorpions couldn't even shake it after a night of attack. Was it because it was in the space tower? It looked ordinary, though.
"Huh? Why don't they attack me?" Lin Feng ran to the end, but found that these tiger scorpions just bypassed him to attack other people, but followed him closely.
Why did Lin Feng have a strange feeling? These tiger scorpions didn't seem to be trying to hurt him; they just wanted to get closer to him.
