Chapter 265 Swallowing Scorpions Alive
Is heatstroke so terrible?
[Oh my god, don't scare me, I also had heatstroke yesterday.]
Go check your kidneys quickly.
Chu Qiao shook his head. "Heatstroke itself isn't that serious. My case is special. Heatstroke combined with severe dehydration probably caused my blood to thicken, reducing blood flow to the kidneys and causing kidney damage. In severe cases, it could even lead to kidney failure."
"All I can do now is replenish water. It would be best if I could take some medicine to restore kidney function. But I can't find any kidney-tonifying herbs tonight; it's too dark."
[Brother Feng: I'll go get you some medicine. I'll contact Sister Ao now.]
【Whatever medicine you need, we will find it for you.】
Chu Qiao imagined that if he completed the mission, he would get many other herbs. If he asked for help, his efforts would be in vain. He immediately shook his head and said, "Just get through tonight. I'll look for it myself. If I can't find it, you can come over again."
【You can't take risks with your life. 】
[Brother Feng: No, I'll go now.]
Chu Qiao's expression changed and he became serious: "Don't come over here, you know I know my limits."
Feng Ge fell silent. At this moment, she was pacing back and forth at home, muttering, "I don't want to live anymore. I don't want to live anymore. No, I have to prepare the medicine and send it to him immediately tomorrow morning."
At this time, Chu Qiao sat there blankly, and it seemed that there was nothing he could do except wait for dawn.
Chu Qiao was about to light the camel dung on fire, just to get through the night. Just as he picked up the flint, he suddenly felt an itch in his hand.
What?
As soon as Chu Qiao moved, the thing quickly crawled away.
With the help of the drone's light, Chu Qiao saw a dense group of unknown things moving slowly.
She quickly lit the camel dung, picked up the dung with a knife, and shone it at the group of things that made her scalp tingle.
Under the illumination of the flames, countless scorpions scattered and gathered around a stone.
Chu Qiao raised the corner of his mouth, ignoring the pain in his body, he picked up a stone and pressed the scorpion that escaped to his feet under the stone.
[What is Master Chu doing? ]
[Is it okay now?]
[No, it seems like it's grabbing something.]
Chu Qiao raised his arm and the drone flew in. In night mode, everything in the picture was blue.
I saw Mr. Chu holding a blue scorpion with its fangs and claws bared in his hand, pressing it against the screen. The scorpion twisted its body as if it wanted to drill out of the screen.
[Oh my god, what the hell is this?]
[Master Chu, I felt sorry for you just now, but now you're frightening me.]
[My soul was frightened out of me.]
[No, I need to drink some water to calm myself down.]
[Master Chu, please excuse me for disturbing everyone.]
Chu Qiao forced a smile on his painful face. In the camera, his face looked ferocious, with a scorpion in each hand.
[Little Chicken: Even I'm scared. My Master Chu isn't cute anymore.]
【Master Chu has mutated? 】
How terrifying.
Some people who had just entered the live broadcast room were scared away by Chu Qiao before they could even take a closer look.
Chu Qiao was in so much pain that he didn't want to explain. He raised his arm and swallowed the scorpion in one bite.
【ah……】
[Master Chu, could you please give me a heads up in advance?]
[Scorpions are poisonous.]
Chu Qiao had eaten three or two scorpions in a row, and the pain in his kidneys had made him ignore the taste of the scorpions themselves.
After I finished eating, I was surprised to find that there was an unpleasant taste in my mouth.
Chu Qiao took a sip of water and rinsed his mouth, and then he felt better.
She sat there in silence, the pain in her kidneys gradually subsiding. She didn't know if it was because of the water or the scorpion.
Chu Qiao's expression brightened considerably, and he finally spoke, "What I ate just now was indeed a scorpion. Scorpions and spiders both belong to the order Arachnida. They have long, thin bodies with claws and tails with poisonous stingers."
"What a fan just said is correct. All scorpions are poisonous, but the degree of toxicity varies. It was too dark today, so I couldn't tell the species of this scorpion. However, I removed its posterior abdomen before eating it, so you won't be poisoned, don't worry."
"I'm lucky today. Scorpions are nocturnal, preferring darkness and fearing bright light. They also like to live in groups, most of which live together in fixed dens. It's not surprising to see them in large numbers at night. But the Gobi Desert is so vast, and I've encountered one, especially when I needed it most. I have to say, I'm really lucky."
[Yeah, Master Chu is lucky, but is that thing delicious? ]
[What does it mean? Eating it can make you immortal? ]
"It can't make you immortal, but according to medical records, it has the effects of calming wind and spasms, expelling toxins and dispersing stagnation, and clearing the meridians and relieving pain. It's very useful for ailments like facial paralysis, rheumatism, and frozen shoulder, and it can also prevent and fight cancer."
"The reason I ate them without hesitation wasn't because I had a special liking for their disgusting taste, but because one of them can relieve pain, and the other can repair my kidneys. I also need to find Ephedra sinica in the Gobi Desert, and I can't expect anything to happen to my body."
Chu Qiao said as he lifted up the stone, pulled out the poisonous tails of the crushed scorpions one by one, and put them into his bag.
"I'll save these for tomorrow."
Chu Qiao rested for another half an hour and then continued to move forward. As the stones under her feet became more and more, Chu Qiao felt that she had left the Danxia landform and entered a new landform area.
Chu Qiao groped forward with the dim light of the drone, and to her surprise, there was actually a tree here!
There are very few plants in the Gobi Desert, and the number of tree species in the Gobi Desert is even smaller.
Chu Qiao touched a few leaves, picked them up, and looked at the light of the drone.
I saw a leaf in the palm of my hand, about one centimeter in size, with pointed tips, which looked very much like a plant in Chu Qiao's mind.
The netizens in front of the screen were also surprised.
【Isn't it said that there are few plants here? 】
【Such a big tree has grown! 】
It's amazing.
What kind of tree is this?
【Just tell me if you can eat it.】
Everyone obviously has a strong interest in this tree, and more people are concerned about whether this tree is edible.
Chu Qiao raised the corner of his mouth: "This is the legendary Populus euphratica forest."
She continued to walk backwards, stretched out her arms, and felt forward like a blind person. Sure enough, she touched another poplar tree less than two meters away.
Everyone knows that poplar trees live for 1,000 years, sometimes less than 1,000 years, and sometimes even last for 1,000 years. However, not many people have seen it with their own eyes. Netizens who grow up in inland areas are full of curiosity about poplar trees.
Is it really that magical?
[Will she really not fall down after she dies? ]
Chu Qiao nodded. "Poplars are very tenacious. But they can't be eaten, and they don't have much medicinal value."
[It seems she is of no use.]
I thought it would hydrate you!
[Master Chu, it seems that finding this tree is of no use.]
