"Don't worry about them. You guys go get some water."
The black-clothed candidate sneered at Xia Ping and the others. He ordered the people around him to go get some water. They had also traveled a long way to reach this oasis. They had long been hungry and cold, and who knew how thirsty they were.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Immediately, twenty to thirty people set off towards the lake, while the remaining people stared at Xia Ping and the others like tigers watching their prey, guarding against any sneak attacks.
"Xia Ping, you said the water in this lake can't be drunk. Is it poisonous?" Jiang Yaru asked in a low voice.
Chu Rong, Nangong Wu, and Feng Hetang also looked at Xia Ping nervously. If the water here was poisonous, then where would they go to find clean water? After a while, wouldn't they die of thirst?!
"The water isn't poisonous, but there's something even more terrifying than poison in the lake." Xia Ping's eyes flashed with a cold light. He could smell the dangerous smell coming from the lake.
Although the lake seemed to be very quiet and peaceful, it was actually the most dangerous place. If one was careless, even a Martial Warrior Realm expert would die there.
"Just what is it?"
Jiang Yaru asked curiously.
Xia Ping looked ahead. "You'll know soon enough. Let's see what happens to them."
At this time, a group of candidates from the Jizhou district had already approached the lake. Although they were arrogant and thought Xia Ping was just scaring them, they were actually very cautious and approached carefully.
As soon as there was any sign of trouble, they would immediately slip away.
"F * ck, I was almost scared by that pretty boy from the Yangzhou district. Isn't he fine now?" "Indeed.
"Indeed. How could something big happen in such a calm lake?"
"The lake is too clear. This is simply a gift from nature. Who would have thought such a treasure would appear in such a dangerous environment."
"I guess this is a chance for us from Yanhuang University. Once we find this place, we can live safely here. After a month, we'll be students of Yanhuang University. "
"Hehe, right now I just want to rush down and take a good bath. After being exposed to the sun for three days, I've long since gone crazy. I don't even know how many kilograms of sweat I've lost."
After a group of Jizhou examinees approached, they looked around and found that the lake was still calm, and there were fish swimming around. It was very peaceful and abundant.
As long as they took the water here and slaughtered the fish here, they would have enough food and water.
Immediately, a few examinees walked into the lake excitedly, gulping down large mouthfuls of water. There were also some examinees who jumped into the lake and bathed contentedly. They swam around and chased away the schools of fish, appearing very carefree.
Seeing this situation, the black-robed examinee and the others instantly felt relieved. This lake was indeed fine. Everything was just that pretty boy Yang Zhouqu trying to scare them.
"Ah!"
At this instant, the two or three examinees who were drinking water earlier suddenly let out shrill cries of agony. They felt as though their stomachs were on fire, and there were countless creatures in their stomachs.
"Help, help!"
"There are worms in my stomach, worms!"
"They're tearing my intestines and devouring my flesh. Help!"
The three examinees screamed again and again, bleeding from their seven orifices. A large amount of blood flowed from their mouths and nostrils. They fell to the ground and rolled frantically.
Some people just wanted to go up and save them, but with a bang, their stomachs were cut open, and a fist-sized parasite instantly crawled out of their stomachs. Its whole body was covered in blood, making people shudder.
Immediately, the three examinees died tragically on the spot, with a big hole in their stomachs and blood splattering everywhere. This scene also caused the surrounding examinees to scream, their faces pale.
"Damn, there's something coming out of the lake, run!" Some examinees were horrified. He saw that the originally calm lake, because of the death of the three examinees, was filled with blood. It seemed to have triggered a certain taboo in the lake, opening Pandora's box.
A black thing, like a cloud, immediately swam up from the bottom of the lake, and in an instant, it surrounded the five or six examinees who were still swimming.
"Help!"
The five or six examinees went crazy and wanted to escape, but it was too late. They were surrounded by that group of terrifying creatures, and in an instant, their whole bodies were dragged to the bottom of the lake and devoured until not even their bones were left.
Rumble ~ ~
This group of creatures even crawled out from the bottom of the lake. They were so densely packed that their numbers were even more terrifying than ants. They were covered in blood-red armor with strange patterns, and they were the size of a fist, numbering in the tens of thousands.
"These are poisonous desert scorpions!"
Nangong Wu immediately recognized the name of these creatures. These were poisonous scorpions that lived in the desert. After undergoing genetic mutation, they possessed extremely terrifying venom. Once they hit a human, they would be poisoned to death within a few breaths.
Moreover, they were covered in blood-red armor that was as hard as steel. Ordinary methods would not be able to break through the defense of these monsters.
The most terrifying thing was that they were numerous and liked to move in groups.
If the desert rats were said to be the cleaners of the desert, then these poisonous desert scorpions were basically the gods of death. Once one came into contact with them, there would definitely be a 90% chance of survival.
"Scram, scram for me!" An examinee neared the lake, and his expression changed greatly. He used his fists and legs and punched out, exploding forth with a strength of 10,000 jin, sending a few poisonous desert scorpions flying.
But it was useless. Immediately, over ten poisonous desert scorpions jumped out from the side, and in an instant, they bit this examinee lightly.
"Ah!"
The examinee screamed. He clutched his injured arm in horror. It was just a small wound, but it contained a fatal venom. Like a venomous snake, it instantly invaded his entire body through his blood vessels.
Immediately, his face darkened like charcoal. With a puff, he spat out black blood and fell to the ground, twitching. In a few breaths, he was no longer breathing.
Clearly, the venom had attacked his heart and he was dead.
"Help, help!"
"Boss, save us, save us!"
"I regret it, I regret it so much. Why did I stupidly come here to drink water?!"
"Save me, hurry up and save us, or else I won't let you off even if I become a ghost."
The group of examinees from the Jizhou District who were heading towards the lake screamed madly, their faces pale. They regretted so much that their intestines turned green. If they had listened to Xia Ping and not gone, perhaps they would not have died.
But now, they were finished. They could not even escape.
In the distance, the black-clothed examinees and the others were also scared half to death. Even if they wanted to go forward and save them, when they saw the dense, overwhelming number of poisonous desert scorpions that covered the sky like a bloody mist, they did not have the slightest bit of courage in their hearts.
