Living on a deserted island, the cold female president regards me as king

I have been to this strange world more than once and stayed for a long time, but I have never seen any plants here.

All I met and saw, dead or alive, were animals, monsters.

And in front of us, these things that resemble plant roots are likely to grow out of some kind of living monster.

As for what it is, it is still unknown.

Karen's reminder made me take precautions. Based on the principle of being cautious, I asked Karen for her dagger.

Gritting his teeth, he gouged out a piece of flesh in the palm of his hand.

Mixed with blood, it was thrown towards the roots that spanned both sides of the ribs.

"Rough enough."

Seeing this, Karen looked at me differently, but she knew why I did this.

I believe that if these things are really alive, then they will definitely like fresh flesh and blood.

I did this, although it was a bit cruel, but I was able to judge whether this thing was dead or alive.

But surprisingly, the roots didn't respond to my flesh and blood.

hiss……

I can't help but frown.

"call……"

Karen smiled, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said easily, "It seems that I guessed wrong."

But I don't think so, because it suddenly occurred to me that my body was changed by a curse.

Perhaps because of this, these roots will not respond to my flesh and blood.

But Karen is different, her meat should be able to test the authenticity.

"What do you want to do?"

When my eyes moved to Karen, she couldn't help but protect her body with both hands, stepped back subconsciously, and glanced at the dagger I was holding.

"Try it with your meat."

I said very seriously.

Hearing this, Karen's eyes widened immediately, "Are you crazy? Do you think I'm not afraid of pain just like you?"

After a little thought, I stood up firmly and walked towards her, "It's okay, just losing a piece of meat, it's better than making a mistake and losing your life."

"roll!"

Karen was not polite, and even started to use her ability to draw the blood in my body.

I frowned and said, "You are a smart man, don't worry, I only need to cut a small piece."

"Go away!"

Karen made it clear that she would rather die than obey.

As a last resort, I plan to give up.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a rustling sound from below the rift valley.

"do not move!"

I whispered.

But Karen misunderstood me, and she laughed angrily, "Do you think I'm stupid, let me be slaughtered by you? I knew you brought me here, and you must have bad intentions!"

Just as Karen accused me, the voices below the rift got closer.

I didn't have time to explain to her, but the moment I turned around, I suddenly saw a black figure emerging from the bottom of the chasm.

Two pairs of swarthy pliers waved, and the poisonous needle on the back was shiny black.

giant scorpion!

I was shocked from the bottom of my heart, I thought all the giant scorpions living here were dead, but I didn't expect to see alive ones here, which really surprised me.

However, this thing is not easy to deal with.

If there is one alive, it proves that there are other living giant scorpions here. It is estimated that [-]% of them are attracted by the flesh and blood I just threw down.

I glanced down the rift valley, and there was only this giant scorpion.

"Help me clean it up."

I said to Karen.

Her ability, one-on-one one-on-one, can kill this giant scorpion without any effort.

"You handle it yourself."

But this woman holds a grudge, especially for what I just said, full of dissatisfaction.

Helpless, I could only hold the dagger tightly and go into battle in person.

Fortunately, this is the only one I need to deal with, and there are many ways to deal with him, either with a gun or with a knife.

However, the threat of the bullet to this guy is very low. Even if it hits the head, it will take a long time for this thing to die.

So I picked the quickest way to get around it with a knife!
But just when I was about to rush towards this giant scorpion, I felt the ground under my feet tremble, and then, a plant root system as thick as a bucket suddenly appeared under the rift valley.

Hey!
This is really alive!

I was in a bad mood, and my figure immediately retreated. This is just one root. If thousands of roots under the rift valley all burst out, what a terrifying scene it would be?
However, the root system that popped up was not aimed at me.

It's the giant scorpion in front of us.

"Hiss..."

Facing this python-like root system, the giant scorpion seemed very manic, it kept waving its pincers towards the root system, like a demonstration.

But after only a few seconds, the giant scorpion gave up, turned around and ran away.

At this moment, the root system moved.

Like an arrow leaving the string, with a puff, the tip of the root system penetrated the hard shell of the giant scorpion.

"My God!"

Accompanied by Karen's exclamation, the huge body of the giant scorpion was abruptly lifted.

At the beginning, the giant scorpion was still waving its pincers and poisonous needles indiscriminately, struggling crazily, but after a minute, the giant scorpion stopped moving, and the poisonous needles and pincers also hung down.

I can probably guess what's going on.

The giant scorpion shells we saw along the way were probably killed by this kind of thing similar to plant roots.

This thing can even directly penetrate the hard shell of the giant scorpion, and then suck the flesh of the giant scorpion from the outside to the inside.

Sure enough, the giant scorpion's body was thrown down soon.

But when it fell to the ground, it fell directly into pieces.

It has been emptied, eaten up by this thing similar to the root system of a plant.

Then, we watched the roots of the plants and retreated to the bottom of the rift. This thing didn't seem to regard us as a target.

Karen and I looked at each other, and while we were relieved, we couldn't stop the panic in our hearts.

Although this thing is not attacking us now, who knows if it is because it is full?
Maybe next time it will be our turn?

"I want to retreat..."

Karen said with a wry smile.

This is not the first time she has retreated, but she also knows that this is impossible. Unless we complete the task, we will also die waiting for us when we go back.

At this time, I have already begun to think about how we can reach the other side of the cliff.

Could it be that we really have to take the risk of climbing over these roots?
But just as I was thinking about it, I felt the ground under my feet vibrate again. Compared with just now, the vibration from the ground this time was more violent.

Could it be that this kind of ghost thing, which is the same as the root system of a plant, is going to attack us?

But the truth is far worse than I imagined.

A few seconds later, there was a rumbling sound, and the ground under our feet, which was less than five meters wide, began to crack!
