The scorpions covered the entire village like a tide. The postman's motorcycle had not died out, but its owner had been engulfed by the scorpions.
After these scorpions had evolved, it was as if they were no longer as scared of the light. They instinctively went underground to hide. In the past, the scorpions would not dare to go out in the light and attack the postman during the day.
The scorpions went underground once again. When night fell, the black tide surged forth. Their numbers had increased.
The king scorpion was very fast. It broke away from the rest of the scorpions and stood on a small hill. It seemed to be smelling something. Scorpions had a very sensitive sense of smell, even before they had evolved. In the past, people who wanted to get rid of scorpions only had to bring chemicals that irritate the nose, such as asphalt, paint, petrol or pesticides. This would cause the scorpions to run away.
