Chapter Eleven Thoughts
One step, two steps...one meter, two meters... the poor aphid could not tell whether the command in his mind was right or wrong. It could only mechanically walk its own steps, slowly gradually towards the source of the command. Although it moved quite slowly, it was moving forward after all, full of doubts and fear.
"It's too slow, hurry up, hurry up!" A smile of joy suddenly appeared on Tianxiang's face, whose eyes were slightly closed, by the warm fire. He succeeded. The aphid had already walked out of its safe nest and began to walk in the direction he was. Of course, Tianxiang himself didn't spend much effort at all. What he did was just to release the thinking energy in his mind, lock on the aphid, and then form a semi-compulsory command in his brain to control all the behavior of the bug.
"Since you can control the first one, you will definitely be able to control the second one." Tianxiang thought excitedly, and immediately let go of his thoughts again and searched for other possible bugs within his ability. But unfortunately, except for this young aphid, no second bug appeared in the detection range of brain waves.
Such a result made Tianxiang feel a little unhappy, and the slow movement speed of the aphid also made him feel very uncomfortable. In order to achieve his goal as soon as possible, Tianxiang subconsciously enhanced his command thinking about the aphids. However, even he himself could not predict the results caused by this.
The aphid felt very uncomfortable, really uncomfortable. The brain nerves on the head were pressing there like a heavy stone, which made it unbearable. The inexplicable voice was always repeating the same command. Although it was already following the instructions of the sound, it seemed that it was not satisfied at all, desperately increasing the frequency and speed of its issuance. Moreover, an inexplicable consciousness forced itself to climb forward as soon as possible. In this way, the weak sense of autonomy in the aphid's head was quickly impacted without a trace, and replaced by Tianxiang's thinking energy. It dominated it to pull its short limbs and move forward frantically. Correspondingly, Tianxiang's command consciousness also accelerated the speed of release, so that the poor aphid could not keep up with the frequency of command consciousness no matter how hard it ran.
Soon, less than a few meters away from the house, the brain nerves of the aphids could no longer withstand this excessive stimulation and burst open.
"How could this be the case?" Tianxiang, who stood up and jumped out of the house, staring blankly at the aphid corpses with cracked head on the ground and flowing out of the fishy green liquid, his heart full of infinite fear and sanity. He never thought that his consciousness energy would cause such terrible consequences. This is a juvenile aphid, and it is not difficult to kill it. Even if he just needs to step on it casually, the aphid will immediately be crushed to pieces. But the problem is that he has not done anything now. He just thought about it casually in his mind. This poor bug has been killed by the chaotic thinking consciousness. My God! Is such ability really something that humans can have?
Although the inner horror could not be dissipated for the time being, Tianxiang still picked up the aphid's body from the ground and washed it and put it on the fire. Before he could eat enough, the little bug that came to his door to act as a poor test subject could be used to solve the protests raised by his stomach.
It was at this time that Tianxiang once again believed that the wisdom of the ancients was indeed a great existence that could not match any law of the hunting world. As for the two "Tai Chi Atlas", after he had completely memorized them, they were re-tucked into the most hidden and closest position in his pocket.
There are two ways to calculate time in the dark world. One is to rely entirely on one's own experience. The other is to learn from some kind of object that can calculate time. The timer on Tianxiang's wrist is one of them. Six hours later, the vibrations from his wrist woke Tianxiang from his sweet sleep.
The rest time is almost over, and now he must continue on the road. Otherwise, he will not be able to return to the crypt smoothly before Tianrou eats all the food.
Tianxiang walked very fast. No, he wasn't walking, he should be running. Although he didn't reach the level of running fast, he was indeed running. Even Tianxiang himself felt strange at such a jogging speed. Because since he set out on the road, he has been thinking about the words that were talked about in the second half of the "Map" and a strange picture printed on the inner pages of the book.
It was a picture of a human standing, and the inexplicable words filled the whole body of the person in the painting. To be honest, the structure of this painting is actually very simple, and Tianxiang also knew all the accompanying words. What made him feel depressed was that Tianxiang didn't know what the painting meant, or what the author wanted to express.
Not knowing does not mean that he does not know at all. At least there is one thing he can understand. That is the distribution of the human body structure in the painting, and the tiny arrows wandering around along various body organs.
"This is the lung, this is the kidney. Further up is the heart..." Tianxiang silently recalled the organs in the body marked by the arrows in the picture. He was very familiar with these things. When he helped decompose the corpses of other hunters, he had some chances of "visiting". Of course, those people were not killed by him, but died for other reasons...
In this way, Tianxiang thought about the organs in his body passing by the arrow, and walked along the route he came toward the direction of the crypt, while also making some thoughts and careful attention to the sudden attack of the insects hidden in the dark. With a lot of intentions, he did not even notice it himself. Unconsciously, his slowly moving steps became faster and faster, and the distance between his steps became larger and larger. In the end, the speed of his steps could no longer keep up with the commands issued. In this way, walking became running.
"Running is very laborious." This is an important experience that Tianxiang has gained in hunting. The lack of food and poor nutritional conditions have made almost all hunters unable to maintain the most abundant physical strength. Therefore, if it is not a last resort, no one will do it at will. Tianxiang is no exception. Although he knows that he runs very fast and has stronger physical strength than ordinary people, he still follows his principles.
However, such a principle is obviously no longer suitable for him now.
"I didn't feel tired?" This is the thing that Tianxiang couldn't understand the most. It has been three hours since he came out of the room where he was resting last night and he has almost been running. Not only did he not feel tired, but he even felt more energetic. Especially the symptoms of heartbeat or poor breathing caused by running have no symptoms on himself at all. This is really surprising.
The most important thing is that the submachine gun filled with bullets and the heavy magazines in the pockets of the clothes seemed to have completely lost their weight. Coupled with the good elasticity from the soles of the combat suit, Tianxiang felt that he was running forward empty-handedly. At this speed, it only took another ten hours at most to return to the crypt in advance.
It was at this moment that Tianxiang's distraction made him completely forget the small arrows he imagined in his mind. A few minutes later, panting, he had to stop running and breathe with his hands on his knees. The huge feeling of fatigue completely occupied his body in an instant.
"How could this happen? What's going on?" Tianxiang asked himself in confusion while panting. Of course, this question would not make the evolutionary brain. After a little thought, Tianxiang immediately got the answer.
"It should be the function of that weird picture!"
Without having time to think about it, Tianxiang immediately fantasized the scene in his mind that countless arrows were marked on the picture and circling back and forth in his body. After only a few minutes, he adjusted his breath evenly and felt that the lost power was gradually returning to his body again.
However, accidents also come.
Humans have only one brain, although it is divided into two parts in an orderly manner. But this does not mean that more than two things can be considered at the same time, or that the intelligent body can make several completely different actions. Although there are always exceptions in everything, some people with flexible minds can use one mind and two things, or even three things. However, the number of these people will definitely not be large. Tianxiang is naturally not listed here.
The fatigue of the body and his thinking about the problem made him instantly withdraw his mind consciousness that was spreading around him. In this way, it was equivalent to narrowing the range of searching to the most basic audio-visual distance. At this moment, the two terror beetles that seemed to be walking leisurely were also carefully searching for their prey in the ruins and slowly walked towards the location where Tianxiang was.
Although the mind was withdrawn, the good predictive ability of the insect brain still made Tianxiang discover the danger before the terror beetles approached. This is a kind of insect-eating insect covered with thick armored skin. Although their movement speed is much slower than other insects, the terrible movement force that suddenly burst out in the moment of hunting, and the short-distance flight ability hidden under the carapace, make the terror beetles a terrible existence that all hunters can avoid.
If it were in the past, Tianxiang would immediately take everything with him without thinking about it, and go as far as he could. The insects had thick skin and thick flesh, and even the sharp steel spears could not pose a fatal threat to them. Instead of going up to die by themselves, it would be better to take a long way. What's more, there are still two terrifying beetles in front of them.
"Kill them and try the power of this M5G43 submachine gun." At this time, this only thought was around Tianxiang's head. After seeing the terrifying power of the old pistol, he always wanted to find an opportunity to try the M5G43 he just got. It was not because he deliberately wanted to kill, but just wanted to know the specific performance of his weapon.
The insects felt quite sharp. When they were still a hundred meters away, the beetles had already discovered the prey in front of them. Although they felt a little strange about the strange behavior of this thin human, the two huge insects still attacked the target at the fastest speed. After all, the urgent need for food, even the most powerful insects could not resist.
"Dadadada--" With the flames spurted out from the M5G43 submachine muzzle, a series of bullets roared out of the barrel of the gun, and with a huge impact force, it penetrated into the body of the terrifying beetle. The layer of carapace covering its surface could not stop this terrifying thing with huge lethality. Soon, the smooth and beautiful carapaces on the two giant insects were pierced into a pothole, as if two semicircular honeycombs fell to the ground.
Despite his previous experience in shooting pistols, Tianxiang was still stunned by the powerful power of the gun in his hand. In less than a minute, two insects that were probably not able to settle even fifty hunters were lying on the ground like two pools of mud. What kind of power is this? It was at this time that Tianxiang discovered that the bullet casing of the M5G43 submachine gun in his hand had been completely shot out. The total sixty bullets were reimbursed on the two insects because of his temporary nervousness.
"It's really not worth it!" Tianxiang muttered, pulling out an empty magazine from the slightly hot gun body, and pulling out another one from his waist pocket and inserting it again. He carefully observed the wound on the insect corpse, and finally determined that he had made a big mistake. There was no need to waste so many bullets at all. Just a few were needed to make these two huge insects die.
"Just treat it as a lesson!" Tianxiang sighed, pulled out a sharp dagger from his feet, easily cut the soft part on the side of the insect corpse, cut off a piece of tender insect meat and stuffed it into his backpack. This was his dinner on the way. After wasting a lot of bullets, Tianxiang felt that this really expensive insect meat should also be more delicious.
Adjusting the breath in his body, Tianxiang's pace became faster and faster. However, just as he was about to approach the crypt, the precognitive ability of the insect brain once again issued a dangerous alarm.
"It's Tianrou, it's Tianrou, there's danger." Without even analyzing the source of the danger, Tianxiang suddenly accelerated the speed of running under his feet. Soon, when he ran to a ruin that was only more than a hundred meters away from the crypt, Tianxiang suddenly stopped his steps. The terrifying scene in front of him made his black pupils shrink as if it was a needle tip.
The insects, hundreds of insects, were crowded into a pile, lying densely in front of the narrow mouth of Tianrou's crypt where he was.
"Geotoothed White Lice!" Looking at the insects covered with shocking red and yellow patterns on the surface, Tianxiang couldn't help but say this fearful name. Yes, the insect in front of him was the giant toothed white lice - a kind of group carnivorous insect.
"What's wrong with Tianrou? How could she provoke so many insects? Is she still alive?" A series of questions made Tianxiang himself stunned. In desperation, he could only immediately release his mind consciousness and extend towards the entrance of the crypt where the insect swarmed.
The chaotic insects and the ruins all over the ground could not stop this invisible energy fluctuation. After unknowingly passing the swarm of insects, Tianxiang's thoughts finally penetrated into the crypt. He was very happy to see: Tianrou, who was full of fear, was trying to poke the hole with his little hands and use his steel spear to desperately use his steel spear to the entrance. The small door that he was quite worried about when he left was now occupied by a giant-toothed white lice that had just stuck his head in.
, it can no longer pose any threat to Tianrou. The sharp spear tip has penetrated the insect's head. The black and shiny insect blood slowly flows down the disgusting ditches on its head. Maybe it is because of its size! The unlucky insect corpse completely occupied the entire entrance to the crypt. Therefore, although this scene looks quite terrible, for the weak Tianrou, it has temporarily formed a relatively safe situation.
Giant-toothed white lice are carnivorous insects. They eat people, insects, and all the creatures that grow flesh on their bodies. There is naturally no reason for them to let go of their dead compatriots. The large group of bugs crowded at the entrance of the crypt were to compete for the corpses of their companions. As for the guys behind who smelled the blood but could not squeeze in, they could only angrily gather outside and make hoarse low sounds. More giant-toothed white lice were anxiously waiting near the crypt and spinning back and forth. Obviously, Tianrou, who was crying in the crypt, had greater temptation for them.
"We must rescue Tianrou quickly." Tianxiang told himself. Because at this moment, his thoughts had already discovered that the corpse of giant-toothed white lice that was so unjustly dead had been eaten by a large number of companions outside. As for the terrifying head that firmly blocked the entrance of the crypt, it seemed a little loose under the pull of other insects.
