Chapter 541: burning a poisonous scorpion
"Host has reached a dry area and the amount of water produced by the water condenser will be halved from now on until host leaves the dry area to a normal area."
Looking at the message their thoughts changed for a moment.
They still had three days of time before they have to leave this forest survival mode to enter a different survival mode.
They came to the front of the cave and are ready to move forward.
But they would not step in until the last moment.
Before that they would check the beast that is guarding the entrance of the desert mode of survival.
While they are checking the things dream worm has already noticed the creature that is guarding the cave.
It is a level 20 poisonous scorpion.
Its exoskeleton is really strong and it is in the color of the surrounding rocks and sad.
Vikram was sure that he could not break it through normal means.
There are only way to kill this scorpion is either by hitting its eyes, cutting the joints or pushing it into a trap and burn it.
Vikram was sure that the insect type monsters have lowest intelligence capabilities.
So he plans to use the third method of burning the scorpion to get the maximum benefits.
With the decision he quickly moved to the side and made a big pit can covered it with spoilage of the trees.
The girls also helped him with bring burnable dried leaves, branches, twigs and other quick burning things.
There are also dried coconut shells that can create high amount of temperature when they are burned.
After the main preparations are done Vikram would be acting as the bait.
First he placed a piece of fish slice on the trap area and then he threw few fish slices towards the scorpion.
The scorpion is around 6 feet in length without counting its tail.
It is 2 feet wide and the tail is 9 feet long with a big sting at tits end.
The color if the sting is green which should be the symbol of vitality.
But here it is pure poison that can kill a person in a matter of moments.
Also any normal poison or muscle relaxant or other corrosive substances would not work on the scorpion.
The girls are hiding far away.
Vikram has wooden basins filled with burning coal stored in his personal space ready to use at any given moment.
He was silently hiding behind a rock waiting for the level-20 poisonous scorpion to take the bait.
He can use the meat of other creatures but the meat of fish has the higher because of the strong smell.
The scorpion was really attracted to the smell but its movements are really slowly and did not go to the bait directly.
It waited for a long while before it went out.
The reason why it went out is because some other creature that came out at that time to eat the fish meat.
It was a big rat that came out of nowhere to eat the fish meat that Vikram placed as bait for the scorpion to follow and fall into the trap.
But this rodent took the chance to spoil the plants of Vikram.
Fortunately Cylia used small plant vines to hold the cover and did not let the entire thing cave in to the hole.
Right then the scorpion followed silently and captured the big rat that is eating the fish meat without a care in the world.
The scorpion moved on the top of the cover and killed the rodent.
Right then Cylia let go of the plant vines and the entire cover caved it.
In order to let the scorpion fall into the trap completely Vikram also dropped a bolder right on the top of it creating problems with its center of gravity.
So it was unable to use its capabilities to climb up suddenly.
Vikram immediately dropped the burning coal and fire basins into the spoilage into the pit covered with all kinds of flammable waste.
It immediately lit up.
With the big bolder on its back it could not move out of that place suddenly.
The rat was shot using a cross bow by Vikram.
So it could not get out that spot either.
Finally the entire spoilage lit up increasing the temperature rapidly.
Vikram did not go near that pit because the tail of the scorpion was moving around rapidly with strong painful wails of the scorpion.
Vikram was sure that he could not kill that scorpion completely with just the fire.
But he is trying its best to not to let the scorpion out of that pit with fire.
During this time Cylia used the plant vines to drop off more spoilage into the pit to increase the flames more and more.
The burning smell can be smelt with thick smoke everywhere.
The reason why Vikram did not let Yue, Ginny and Cylia to participate in the fight is because he thought of another problem.
Other than the monsters the other players are also dangerous.
Vikram could not take any risks when he is making so much commotion at this moment.
Well there is a thick column of smoke rising in this area like a signal.
How many people can see this and come to get a share in the pie.
So Vikram made Cylia, Ginny and Yue to be on guard while hiding and take care of other players that might come over to get their hard earned profits.
While they are waiting there is a man wearing thick coat like he was in some sort of cold area.
He has silver blond hair and pure white skin.
He is looking at the smoke column and came over rushing to the side to see what is happening here.
He is from the holy empire.
He is at the rank of deacon in that country and is a very young and strong man.
