Chapter 171: Chapter 170: The Grand Consultation Assembly

In the video, Old Wang danced smugly, not forgetting to flaunt his wife at the end of the video.

The scorpion army wagged their scorpion tails, making astonished sounds.

[Huh? You’re even helping animals find mates? Such a big heart!]

Old Wang, known as a famous bachelor, indeed had snakes in the canyon who knew him, including a male King Cobra.

[I know this King Cobra, it’s never found a mate, it’s a well-known bachelor in our desert snake circle!]

[You actually helped it find a mate, now we have to believe that you truly have some skills.]

No matter where, a King Cobra is a dominant presence. This King Cobra had a significant voice among the snakes in the canyon.

After it spoke, the snake originally swaying and intimidating Xu Ying immediately became well-behaved.

Xu Ying was a bit puzzled, how did this King Cobra’s attitude suddenly make a 180-degree turn once it heard she helped Old Wang find a mate?

Then she heard the King Cobra say in a shy tone: [Ms. Station Chief Xu, I’ve always stayed in this underground canyon, my social circle is pretty closed off, can you also help me find a mate?]

Xu Ying: ... Oh dear, now I’ve become a professional matchmaker. Won’t this news spread wider and draw more animals to me, asking for help to find partners?

"It’s possible, but since you always stay in the canyon, you can’t expect me to bring a mate to your doorstep, you might have to go out with me for a walk."

Xu Ying scratched her head.

The King Cobra made up its mind: [Alright, let’s set it like that, I’ll go out with you to see the outside world.]

"I may not be able to solve the single issue in the short term."

Xu Ying glanced around at these dark little creatures and bravely asked: "Is there anyone among you small animals who feels unwell? I can help right now."

The underground canyon fell into a moment of silence.

Finally, a desert golden scorpion wriggled its body and laboriously crawled over to Xu Ying.

This scorpion was flapping its tail restlessly, the metallic sheen of its exoskeleton reflecting unnaturally under the flashlight.

"Let me take a look..." Xu Ying said softly, her fingertips gently touching the scorpion’s back shell.

[Something is stuck in my stinger, Ms. Station Chief, could you take a look for me?]

"Something is stuck in your stinger?" She frowned slightly and took out a magnifying glass from the medical kit. Indeed, at the joint of the scorpion’s venomous stinger, a rusty copper ring was tightly fastened there, its edge already embedded in the shell’s crevices.

The scorpion painfully moved its pincers: [... It hurts so much... the young ones in my tribe all laugh at me...]

Xu Ying couldn’t help but smile, even a scorpion has such a strong ego.

She carefully used tweezers to fix the scorpion’s body: "It’s going to hurt a bit, bear with it."

[Hmph, we desert golden scorpions fear no pain—Ouch!]

The scorpion’s stinger suddenly trembled.

The moment the copper ring was removed, a thread of dark green liquid seeped out.

Xu Ying immediately took out a herbal ointment she had crafted, using desert aloe and sea buckthorn fruit as a special anti-inflammatory medicine.

As soon as the ointment was applied, a cooling sensation soaked into its body, making the scorpion’s tail feel much better right away.

[Oh my, you’re a miracle doctor!]

The scorpion moved its tail around, the ailment that had troubled it for days was just cured by this two-legged being!

[Ms. Station Chief, are you going to stay in our canyon? Can we still find you if we encounter difficulties in the future?]

Xu Ying pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. She picked up a piece of weathered shale and gently knocked on the rock wall: "Do you hear this frequency?"

"Thump—thump thump—thump"

The scorpion waved its antennae in puzzlement: "What’s this...?"

"A distress signal." Xu Ying knocked once more, "If you encounter trouble, knock on the rock like this. The canyon’s echo can travel up to three kilometers."

"My sand rat informant will receive the intel, report to me, and I’ll hurry over to help you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a rhythmical "rustle" sound suddenly came from afar.

Ten scorpions of varying sizes emerged from the cracks in the rock, forming a semicircle neatly.

"Are they... learning from you?" Xu Ying was surprised to find that each scorpion was using its pincers to mimic her knocking action.

The desert golden scorpion proudly lifted its tail: [Now, the entire tribe knows this code!]

[Similarly, if you encounter any difficulties, you can also have the informant find us for help!]

Xu Ying chuckled and nodded: "Sure!"

"Right now, there’s actually something I’d like to ask of you, could you send scorpions to check if there are any suspicious people lurking at the canyon entrance?"

[No problem, leave it to us!]

After treating the scorpion, three small red-headed centipedes crawled up to Xu Ying.

[Ms. Station Chief, our mother is sick, she’s suffering a lot, can you help her?]

The bright red on top of the red-headed centipedes was quite intimidating, Xu Ying nodded gently: "Where is your mother?"

Following the guidance of the three small centipedes, Xu Ying crouched in the shadow of a weathered rock, easing aside the gravel with her fingertips.

A desert centipede, at least twenty centimeters long, was painfully curled up.

Its front half had already shed a new bright red exoskeleton, while the latter half was still tightly wrapped in the old, gray skin, like wearing an ill-fitting shabby coat.

"Don’t move."

Xu Ying took tweezers from the medical kit, "Your seventh segment’s old skin is stuck.

The centipede, upon seeing its three children at Xu Ying’s feet, suddenly raised its head, opening its venomous jaws with a hissing threat. [Two-legged beast, stay away from my children!]

The three little ones quickly said: [Mom, we brought her to help you, she just healed Uncle Scorpion, it was healed in a flash!]

Hearing the children’s words, the centipede slowly closed its venomous jaws.

Its antennae quivered slightly.

[Is that so, I’m sorry, I was too anxious.]

[Thank you for your trouble.]

Xu Ying nodded, taking out a bottle of solution from the medical kit: "It will hurt a bit in a moment."

As an experienced veterinarian, she had treated exotic pets like centipedes before.

With the development of the pet economy, more people started keeping uncommon pets, like centipedes, spiders...

Centipedes face this problem when their living conditions are too dry during molting.

Xu Ying carefully dripped water onto some moss with a dropper, "It’s collected from the northern oasis, it carries the scent of underground water."

As soon as the moist moss touched the exoskeleton, the centipede suddenly jerked.

"The old skin is absorbing water and expanding."

"With her gloved fingers, Xu Ying pressed down on its third pair of legs, "I’ll count to twenty, and then you’ll be fine."

When she reached "fifteen," she suddenly drew a hook needle made of camel bristle from her toolkit.
