One after another, huge black and smooth scorpions were worn on wooden sticks cut from branches of unknown desert plants, exuding a tempting fragrance at the moment.

But even if they were cooked, each of them raised their scorpion tails high, as if they were about to attack.

Ellie hoped to start with the wooden stick in her hand and couldn't help being a little dazed.

The pointed-jawed boy next to her suddenly showed contempt again, as if to say: "Woman, are you afraid?"

Alixie squinted at him, and said to herself: Actually, after 3000 years, there will be an institution all over the country in the big foodie Congress in the far east, named Night Market——

Although she doesn't particularly like grilled scorpions, she's not afraid of them either.

Besides, the child's parents specially sent this to her because they understand that she is in a special physiological period and needs to supplement protein.Bake this thing, although it may not look like much, but it is indeed a high-protein food.

So Alixi raised the wooden stick to her mouth without fear, bit off one, and began to chew.

"Click, click..."

The heat of this roast is just right, the outer skin is crispy, the mouth makes a crisp sound, but the inner core is still a little soft.

According to Alixie, it tastes a bit like fried small river prawns or soft-shell crabs.In short, the normal taste of all fried crustaceans, except for the lack of a little chili powder or cumin powder.

Maybe protein is what she needs urgently. A scorpion eats it, and Erich's appetite is so great that she can't stop eating.

Occasionally, she glanced at the little boy beside her, only to see that the boy was already drooling with greed, and the expression of contempt and disdain had already flown to the sky.

A bunch of fragrant grilled scorpions directly made the boy take off all disguises, revealing his true nature as a greedy cat.

Alicia feels full after eating a few, and gets tired after eating more.

So she looked at the sharp-chinned boy beside her, and saw that pair of black eyes never left the skewer in her hand.

Alicia generously handed over the remaining half of the string: "If you promise me to protect your sister every day, this half of the string will be yours."

"Of course!"

The little guy agreed first with his chest out, and then he took half a string of scorpions from Alicia.

He first handed it to his sister, "Sister, come!"

The little girl looked at the dark and scary-looking scorpion, and shook her head modestly.

The boy with the pointed chin gave way to no avail, and decisively brought it to his mouth, eating while saying, "I want to grow taller, stronger, and better protect my sister!"

The little girl with an apple face looked at her brother and couldn't help showing a sweet smile on the side.

The boy was like a cloud in the wind, half a skewer of grilled scorpions, and he swallowed them all in a short time.

After eating, he was still not satisfied. He raised the long wooden stick, as if it was a weapon, and kept waving it in his hand, hitting a straw man made of hay and rags in the corner. stand up--

Erich generally understands what happened to her in Scene [-]:

It must have been distorted based on the real scene.The boy's suspicion and mistrust are just a superficial appearance, which somewhat doesn't match his real heart.

Therefore, he became a villain in the second scene, and when it was difficult to justify himself, the creator of the scene could only replace it with a straw man...

At this moment, the little boy was putting on various postures, while telling his sister: "Look, brother is very capable, and he will definitely protect you."

Alixi couldn't help giving the child a thumbs-up in her heart, saying: You are better than Solan in this alone.

His younger sister nodded obediently, showing an expression of approval, but sneaked to look at the water vapor collector that Elyse had set up while the boy was practicing——

Compared with boys, this little girl seems to be more interested in this new thing.

She turned her thoughts away from the children and back to the village.

The village is pretty much what she sees in the looping scene, a village of three to 400 people.Men hunted in the desert, and women lived by gathering around.

A detail she hadn't noticed before was: they had the technology to dig wells, they could dig wells to get water, and occasionally exchange food with the outside world with items such as the fur and teeth of their prey.

How long they stay in a particular spot depends on whether they can get water from the well.

Once the water source is exhausted, they have to migrate through the wind and sand to find new territories that can support themselves.

According to what the fennec fox demigod said, the gods picked such a village as a sample for Erich's test.But Elysee breaks the point too early and doesn't linger long in the scene.

Now, however, she faces the village in an absolutely real setting—perhaps this is the real test.

Erich asks herself: She has the power to bring a better life to this village...and, does she believe in it—during the limited time she may be here.

Perhaps, as the fennec demigod said, if she tried repeatedly in the different scenes that recurred, she should be able to find more ways to create beliefs.

But instead of that, she was suddenly confronted with real situations, real people.

Can she do it?

As Alicia thought about it, she suddenly realized that her surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the adults sitting by the fire showed vigilant expressions.

But beyond the firelight, everything is hidden in the deep night.

The little boy holding a wooden stick also stopped practicing at this moment, looking left and right, not knowing what happened, but obviously feeling uneasy.

At this moment, several hounds raised in the village suddenly barked loudly at the same time.

The men turned over and jumped up from the ground, and quickly ran to copy the guy.The women rushed to find children and the elderly, and quickly sent them to houses made of stones.

In the chaos, Elyse was supported by the little boy with her right arm and the little girl with her left hand, trying to avoid going deep into the village.

"It's a scorpion—"

The little girl suddenly let out a scream.

Alixi also saw clearly in an instant, she was really afraid of something, no, whatever she ate——

It was indeed a swarm of scorpions.But not the ones they ate just now, but the Big Mac among the scorpions—

These scorpions are huge in size, each of which is longer than the largest hunting dog in the village.

They are all black, holding a pair of huge tentacles similar to crab claws, and at the same time, the poisonous scorpion tail behind them is also held high, not afraid of the stones and spears in the hands of hunting dogs and people, bypassing the fire, Rush into the center of the village.

The number of these giant scorpions is more than one hundred, they are huge, and they move extremely fast.

This does not seem to be the first time the village has been attacked by scorpions at night.People resisted in an organized and divided manner.

But the number of incoming enemies is too many and too fast, and the size is so huge.Some people in the village couldn't help but began to chant the honorable names of the gods they could think of: "The Lord of Power in the desert, the strong man who defends dignity, the god Seth who symbolizes revenge and chaos, please give us the power to resist scorpions -"

Someone also mentioned another name-Scorpion King.

"The ruler of the desert and the troubled times, the founder of ancient Egypt, the first king standing at the end of time, the great Scorpion King ① Your Majesty, we have no intention of infringing upon your creatures... please, please spare us! "

no response -

God Seth didn't, and neither did the Scorpion King.

Of course, in this era, responses from gods and ancient kings are already extremely scarce.

The villagers here didn't expect to get a response either, most of them just wanted to cheer up their courage.

Alixi pulled the little girl back under a built-up wall.The little boy ran to hold a large pile of burning firewood, and set up a circle of fire around Erich and his sister.

In the circle of fire, the two women were smoked to the point of tears and coughing.The boy could only say apologetically: "I'm sorry, you bear with it..."

"Ahem... Be careful!"

Alixi yelled a warning, and at the same time pushed half of the fire in front of her - if she continued like this, she and the little girl beside her would be smoked to death before being eaten by the scorpion.

After the fire, a long claw suddenly appeared.A black scorpion with its scorpion tail erected and taller than the boy appeared in the field of vision.

The little boy tightly held the wooden stick just now in his hand.Hit the block hard, as he practiced earlier.

With a soft clicking sound, the wooden stick was clamped by the claws, and it was snapped off in an instant, leaving only a bare short stick in the boy's hand.

Ailixi showed a dagger in her hand and threw it to the child in front: "Here—"

"Hiss, it's so cold!"

The boy took it and complained loudly.But he knew the importance of weapons, so he firmly held the hilt of the dagger that was freezing in his hands.

He didn't know how to use a sword, but when the claws reached out to him again, he instinctively swung the short sword in his hand like a wooden stick.

With a sound of "cha", the huge clawed limbs snapped off, and the huge black scorpion holding its tail high suddenly stagnated, stepped back, then turned around and started to escape.

"what--"

The boy himself broke out in a cold sweat, but the fear quickly turned into excitement.

He turned his head with bright eyes, as if wanting to show off his achievements.But then he was stunned to see Alicia walking out of the fire with a translucent long sword in her hand.

"Woman...you—"

The little boy still couldn't get rid of his oral habit.But the kid pointed at Alicia's waist, with concern and begging in his eyes, as if to say: You should be protected, please don't be brave, please?

Alicia looked at his adult-like expression, and suddenly had an idea.

She turned the hilt upside down, held it in her hand, looked at the pair of children beside her, and asked softly, "Can you swear to protect my body?"

The apple-faced girl's eyes were straightened, she was probably thinking about what this meant—what does it mean, protect your body?

But the boy with the pointed chin shouted loudly: "Of course, this is my responsibility!"

"it is good!"

Alixi immediately handed the hilt of the sword in her hand to the girl, and said, "Remember, you must protect my body."

"As long as you can do this, I can protect you all."

The little girl ignored the chill, and stared straight at her hand, noticing that the long sword that Alixie handed to her had automatically adjusted its length, turning into a short sword that was exactly the same as that in her brother's hand.

And Alicia walked back to the wall by herself, sat by the stone wall, and closed her eyes.

After a while, the brother and sister were stunned to see another translucent long sword in front of Erich, with unknown patterns carved on its surface.

The long sword was suspended in the air at first, then raised its head up suddenly, and then moved to the distance.

Seeing a huge black scorpion rushing towards the long sword, the boy immediately shouted: "Be careful!"

I saw the long sword waving in the air, and the rushing scorpion broke into two pieces immediately, the tail of the scorpion hung upside down in the gravel on the ground, but the head of the scorpion and the two claws that were held high rushed forward a few steps before stopping Down, finally motionless.

But the long sword never stayed there——

It continues to move forward, in the darkness, in the shadow of the fire.

The black carapace and claws danced in the air, no matter how big the terrifying giant scorpion was, it was hard to stop, and it quickly scattered on the ground, breaking into a pile of parts.

The villagers who were struggling with giant scorpions everywhere also noticed the situation here.

The pressure they faced was rapidly reducing, and there was even a situation where the huge black scorpions sensed danger and began to turn around one after another.

Gradually, they also noticed the translucent long sword flying in the air by itself.Wherever it passed, not even a single black scorpion could escape alive.

"Great god... Could it be that you finally answered the prayers of your followers?"

An elderly hunter suddenly knelt down.

Affected by this, the people around him who were still holding weapons but were gradually useless also knelt down.Some people pulled each other and asked, "Which god is it? Which one?"

"do not know--"

Gradually, as the giant scorpions in the village fell to the ground one after another, people began to feel the slightest fear weighing on their hearts.

This long sword flew in the air out of thin air, invincible, wherever the sword tip pointed, no matter how powerful and hard the giant scorpions were, they all shattered.

What if... this sword is not pointing at the huge black scorpion, but them...

Don't dare to think -- no one dares to think --

People adjusted their mood instantly, no matter which god came to help when the road was injustice, this god possessed such terrible force, they would never offend it.

But Alixi didn't notice this at all, and she was secretly delighted: the advantage of using the spirit body to fight is that others can't see her, and neither can the scorpion.

She could easily and comfortably approach a giant carapace extending a poisonous scorpion tail towards humans, and then slash it in the middle, immediately paying the bill.

She didn't show mercy at all, and she didn't let go of those giant scorpions that turned around and ran away—because she heard that this kind of animal took revenge, she worried that after suffering a big loss here, the scorpions would entangle their companions and make a comeback in the future.So simply kill them all and solve all problems at once.

Of course, the premise of all this is that her body is safe and properly protected.

Suddenly, Erich's inspiration instantly sensed danger.

She turned her head abruptly, and found a huge black scorpion that had actually climbed onto her body at this moment, leaning against the stone wall at this moment, condescending, its huge claws almost stretched out to Erich's closed-eyed face .

There are only two children guarding Erich.

The little boy was not tall enough, even if he jumped high, the dagger in his hand still couldn't reach the giant scorpion lying on the high ground and attacking downward.

The little girl was completely terrified, and it was only because her brother was still sensible that she held the dagger in both hands and stood in front of Alixie.

In the smog, the adults finally noticed the danger there and rushed to them one after another, but they were too far away to save them.

I saw the pair of sharp claws of the huge black scorpion kept moving back and forth in front of Alicia, distracting the two children's attention.The venomous scorpion tail has quietly moved above Ailixi's head.

At this moment, the boy suddenly realized something, he suddenly took a few steps aside, ran quickly, stepped on the cracks in the stone wall when it was built, and struggled to climb up, his left hand went deep into the cracks of the wall, desperately Live whatever you can.

At the same time, he swung the dagger tightly held in his right hand upwards, and immediately swept away most of a claw.

His sister let out a scream with her eyes closed, swinging the dagger in her hand almost disoriented.

Immediately, by mistake, the other one of the claws was swept away, preventing the sharp claw from poking her or Erich's chest.

But it's too late.

The black scorpion has almost turned over, and the poisonous scorpion tail fell straight towards Erich's forehead.

Even if it instantly lost two claws at the same time, it would not stop it from launching a final attack on Elyse - this is the giant scorpion's instinct.

At this moment, the long sword that had been cruising around in the village in the flames and smoke suddenly fired its power. It was like an arrow that left the string, flying from a distance, and it came first.

With a clang, the black scorpion's tail was directly nailed into the crack of the wall not far above Ailixi's forehead.

Then there was a bang, and the huge black scorpion fell directly from the top of the stone wall, pressing down the figures in front of the stone wall.

The whole village instantly became extremely quiet, and everyone could only hear the nervous breathing of themselves or others.

Suddenly, I saw the body of the black scorpion move, followed by another bang.The scorpion tail nailed to the wall only had a short section left in an instant.

The little boy and the little girl worked together, pushing the body of the giant scorpion away, revealing Erich who was leaning against the stone wall.

She seemed to have just woken up from a sweet dream, and was opening her pair of beautifully shaped eyes, looking around.

The hanging hearts of the people in the village were instantly relieved.The people who participated in the battle began to feel powerless all over, and they lay down directly on the ground, no longer able to clean up the carapace limbs all over the ground.

It took a while before they regained their strength and began to talk about today's unexpected narrow escape.

"If it wasn't for that strange sword—"

"What are you talking about, if there is no god to help!"

"Yes, yes, if there is no God..."

Alicia calmly listened to such discussions, facing the two children at the same time.

The little girl was frightened and kept holding Alicia's arm. From time to time, she would suddenly tremble all over—this was a stress response, and it would heal itself soon.

Alicia hugged her as much as she could, comforted her, and let her relax physically and mentally. At the same time, she whispered that she performed really well today.

"you--"

The little boy stood opposite Alicia, looking excited and frightened, and glanced over from time to time.

But this child absolutely never dares to call Ai Lixi in front of a woman again.

Alicia reached out and patted his shoulder, nodded and said, "Very good, you kept your promise to me today—"

"And I have also complied with my orders to you."

The eyes of this pair of children suddenly widened, and they seemed to be saying:

It's confirmed, it's you that's right—could it be that you are the god in the adults' mouths?
