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

"leave?"

Hearing these two words, Karen was stunned for a moment, then put down the liquid scorpion in his hand, raised his head and looked at me, "Can we leave here..."

I didn't explain too much, but directly picked her up by the waist, then jumped up and fell from the high platform to the ground.

"What are you doing down there? Shouldn't we just climb up that crack?"

"Need not."

I shook my head, handed the gun to her, then took out the dagger and looked around, my eyes locked on a dark pothole on the opposite rock wall, and strode over.

Karen wanted to ask something else, but hesitated a few times before following me.

She chose to believe in me, which makes me gratified.

I have been to the giant scorpion's lair before, and I know that the holes on the rock wall are passages leading to the ground. Although the geographical environment at the bottom of the tiankeng has been torn apart, it will save a lot of effort to get out of those passages.

After all, there is only one drug left for Karen to suppress the side effects, and I am the only one who can use the ability unless it is a last resort.

Therefore, I must choose the safest method.

We walked to the pothole on the opposite rock wall, and at least we had to pass the three giant scorpions entrenched here.

However, now that I have recovered from my injuries, I am not afraid of them.

On the contrary, I was even a little eager to try.

The only remaining giant scorpions in the lair were like old men, not very active.

And I grasped this point, and killed the giant scorpion closest to us in less than five seconds.

The dagger sank into the giant scorpion's brain until it reached the hilt.

The poor giant scorpion didn't even have a chance to howl, and turned into a corpse.

Seeing the strips of crystal mucus after the dagger was pulled out, I subconsciously licked my lips.

Pity……

These days, the smelly liquid flesh inside the giant scorpion's body is regarded as a treasure by us who have just experienced extreme hunger.

To this day, the giant scorpion that we hunted before has almost been eaten by us.

Later, I killed the other two giant scorpions in the same way. With the superhuman speed that I erupted, I hardly made much noise when I killed these giant scorpions, so the other giant scorpions scattered in the lair A scorpion doesn't even know that its companion is dead.

A few minutes later, I took Karen into the pothole on the rock wall.

Originally, this was the road leading to the ground for giant scorpions, but now there are only empty shells of giant scorpions here.

"Do you think that monster is still alive?"

Suddenly, Karen, who was closely following me, spoke. Her indifferent question made me startled.

Of course I knew that the monster she was talking about was a crow.

That day, when we fell into the rift valley, it just watched quietly from the sidelines and did not help us, although my reason told me that it was nothing like a monster except that it still had some human reason. different.

But my instinct has already lost any affection for Wu.

If possible, I certainly hope that Wu, like us, fell into the rift valley and fell to pieces.

But I always feel in my heart that Wu is still alive.

This, I told Karen truthfully.

"Ah."

Karen chuckled, "I told you a long time ago, we should have killed him."

I waved my hand, unwilling to talk more about this topic, "It's useless to talk about it now, let's finish the task quickly and go back to work."

Our previous channel was slanted upwards, and because of the geographical fault at the bottom of the tiankeng, the channel also showed signs of fracture at intervals.

Fortunately, we can directly cross the past.

However, when we had advanced for more than an hour, we had no choice but to stop.

There is a rift in front of us, and now, as long as we move forward one step further, we will fall into the abyss.

Looking up, we can see that we are still more than 30 meters away from the ground at the bottom of the tiankeng.

Many plant roots across the rift block our sight.

I couldn't help but Karen and I looked at each other. Needless to say, the scene in front of us has already made us understand that we have now reached the rift valley where we fell before.

There is no way ahead, and if you want to go up, you can only go through rock climbing.

But before us, there is another option.

In any case, when we get to the ground, we have to head towards the radiation source, that is to say, if we climb up by rock climbing now, we still have to find a way to cross this rift.

Instead of that, we might as well follow these plants and climb to the opposite side of the rift, and then climb up the rock.

Just, you need to know that the roots of these plants are alive...

"What do you think?"

I'm sure Karen knows this too, so I'd like to get her opinion.

Karen shook her head and said, "There is no other way."

Agreed, but I'm not planning to act right away.

After all, this thing that looks like a plant root system is a living thing. Although this thing didn't show any killing intent towards us before, the ghost knows what will happen when we get close to this thing.

The root system of the plant that is closest to us across the rift can be reached as long as you stretch out your hand. It looks about a little thicker than my arm.

Just to be on the safe side, I let Karen lean back a little bit, and then, tentatively, I reached out to the roots of the plant.

Slowly and gently, I hold the root of this plant.

At first, the feeling this thing gave me was no different from ordinary tree roots, rough and cold.

But just as I was relieved, I saw white smoke rising between my fingers and a burning pain in my palm.

"hiss……"

I gasped and let go immediately.

I saw that at this moment, the palm of my hand was already bloody, and the flesh on the surface had been corroded and eroded.

Although the healing speed was fast, I still realized the seriousness of the matter.

It took less than five seconds for me to touch this thing, and the palm of my hand was corroded like this. If it takes a long time, will the consequences be so bad?

I was looking at the root system of the plant I just held, completely motionless.

From what we've found so far, this thing doesn't interest us, but its surface is highly corrosive.

"This injury shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Seeing my injured palm, Karen showed no concern, and even had a bit of a spectator mentality.

I glanced at her and said calmly, "However, this kind of injury shouldn't be a trivial matter to you, right?"
