Chapter 772 Everyone is dumbfounded
Jiang Lianzhu can only find people based on her memory and feelings.
We met General Yuan and his men on the way. They were in a mess, as if they had just crawled out of a pile of sand.
He was accompanied by dozens of people. Seeing Jiang Lianzhu and the others, he said happily, "Princess! Are you all okay? Is the Third Princess okay?"
The people on Jiang Lianzhu's side were originally very happy to meet General Yuan, but when they heard them asking about the third princess, their smiles immediately faded.
After a brief exchange between the two sides, some people stayed behind to escort the supplies back to the base camp, and the rest followed Jiang Lianzhu to continue looking for the third princess.
We met the guide again on the way.
The guide was swept away by the tornado, fell down, broke a leg and an arm, and half of his body was buried in the sand, leaving only half his life.
It was dug out by General Yuan's men.
Hearing that they were looking for the Third Princess, the guide bared his teeth and said, "If they weren't blown away by the wind, judging from the direction the wind just blew, they must have been carried away by quicksand. Quicksand usually takes people to the lowest place. The lowest place within a radius of dozens of miles is the Scorpion Pit. They must have gone to the Scorpion Pit. There should be a lot of people there..."
Finally, he was reliable and gave me some suggestions.
Jiang Lianzhu and the others quickly headed towards the scorpion pit.
The terrain was indeed sloped, and along the way, they picked up a lot of soldiers and supplies, all of which belonged to their marriage team.
They had people carry the supplies back.
The wounded were also carried back.
Those who were not injured followed Jiang Lianzhu and General Yuan to the scorpion pit.
They soon arrived at the Scorpion Pit. As expected, the guide's prediction was correct. The Third Princess and her companions were here. Not only the Third Princess, but also many soldiers were here. Their situation was particularly bad at the moment.
Dense swarms of scorpions surrounded them.
Some people were bitten by scorpions all over their bodies. Their faces were swollen like pig heads, and their arms and calves were extremely thick. This was the mild case. The serious cases were caused by scorpion venom. They were directly bitten and poisoned, and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
The two people, Xiangdong and Xi, were protecting the third princess. In the middle, there were many scorpions around them.
The third princess screamed.
There was a maid beside her, screaming along with her.
The soldiers protected the princess even at the risk of being stung by scorpions.
As they watched, the number of scorpions increased and they were about to be overwhelmed by them, and then they saw Jiang Lianzhu and the others coming.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if they had seen a savior.
"My Lord Princess, General Yuan, help!"
"This is a damn scorpion pit. There are so many of these things! And they are all poisonous..."
…
This has fallen into someone's house, how can they not bite?
When the scorpion group saw that Jiang Lianzhu and her group of more than a hundred people had come, they were not afraid of them and showed no sign of giving in. They quickly made corresponding countermeasures and split into two parts. One small group dealt with the group of the Third Princess who were capable of fighting in the pit, and the other large group faced Jiang Lianzhu and her group.
Each scorpion is the size of a palm, and the stinger at the end of its tail is bright scarlet, and you can tell at a glance that it is poisonous.
In crowds, in thousands, in piles.
General Yuan cursed, "These things are disgusting, I'll kill a few of them first!"
General Yuan used a red tassel spear, and with one strike he stabbed the scorpion into the pile.
Everyone thought that this shot would kill at least several of them.
As a result, only one was stabbed to death!
The others burrowed into the sand.
The speed is quite fast!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The next moment, those huge scorpions emerged from all around General Yuan's feet.
Attack him first!
Because he had just stabbed them with a gun.
This desire for revenge is too strong!
At this time, Xiangdong shouted a warning, "These scorpions will burrow into the sand and suddenly jump out. Sprinkle insect repellent powder under your feet..."
When everyone took a closer look, they found that no scorpions appeared where the Third Princess was. This was because the sand under their feet was sprinkled with a thick layer of insect repellent powder, which prevented the scorpions from approaching.
Jiang Lianzhu said in a deep voice, "All of you get out of the way. We can't waste any more time. Scorpions are afraid of fire. Let me do it!"
The sun was about to set, and they had suffered heavy losses today and had not yet walked many miles.
Rescue the third princess first. There are so many wounded people who need to be treated and supplies that need to be retrieved.
We encountered a sandstorm today. It was really bad luck.
General Yuan and his men had never seen Jiang Lianzhu's demeanor before. They only knew that she was extremely powerful. Rumor has it that this Right Regent was omnipotent, but how exactly was he omnipotent? They didn't know.
"My Lord Princess? You?"
"Everyone, get out of the way! Back off ten meters..."
Jiang Lianzhu repeated it again!
Everyone said nothing more and left.
Jiang Lianzhu took out a high-pressure flame from her waist and sprayed it at the group of scorpions.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
So strong!!
A burnt smell wafted into the nose. Many scorpions were burnt and were burned to ashes before they could escape. Those scorpions that had burrowed into the sand pile were also turned into charcoal. The flames turned the sand into a high-temperature sand pile. Even if the scorpions went in, it was useless as they would be burnt anyway.
General Yuan and his soldiers only felt a wave of heat coming towards them.
I involuntarily retreated dozens of meters before I felt better.
No wonder the princess asked them to retreat ten meters. This was the first time I had seen such a powerful gunpowder weapon! It was so freaking powerful!
No matter how many scorpions there are, they are useless against such powerful gunpowder weapons.
"My Lady...My Lady Princess...are these gunpowder weapons also made by the gunpowder factory under the Six Gates of our Da'an Kingdom? Will we be rewarded with some in the future according to our military merits?" General Yuan was already envious.
Asked cautiously.
Jiang Lianzhu knew what they were thinking, "Yes, there will be opportunities in the future."
All the soldiers were suddenly filled with longing.
The Regent has spoken. As long as you behave well, there will be opportunities in the future! !
How cool it would be if they had the chance to carry such powerful gunpowder weapons in the future. Burning scorpions with these gunpowder weapons would be so fragrant, and burning people would probably be even more fragrant...
The soldiers who were just being pressed by the scorpion are now all feeling proud.
The scorpion group was unilaterally burned and fled in fear.
I know Jiang Lianzhu is tough and not easy to mess with.
The third princess and her friends were saved!
The Third Princess looked at Jiang Lianzhu with envy, "My Lady, it's a good thing you arrived in time. These scorpions are too terrifying..."
"Are you okay?" Jiang Lianzhu asked kindly.
The third princess' eyes suddenly became blurry with tears. "No, I'm fine. Several of my maids and some soldiers who protected me were stung by scorpions. I feel so bad..."
Jiang Lianzhu nodded at her.
Just now she saw the insect repellent powder under the feet of the third princess and the others. That small amount of powder could not stop so many scorpions.
Every soldier carried insect repellent powder, and they were all the same, distributed uniformly by the doctor.
Everyone else couldn't stop the scorpions even if they sprinkled them, but the ones around the third princess could. This is obviously unscientific.
