Chapter 11 Thoughts

One step, two steps... one meter, two meters... The poor aphid couldn't tell whether the command in his mind was right or wrong. It could only move its steps mechanically, slowly and gradually walking towards the source of the order. Although the speed of movement is quite slow, it is moving forward after all, moving forward full of doubts and fears.

"Too slow, hurry up, hurry up!" Beside the warm fire, a joyful smile suddenly appeared on Tianxiang's face with his eyes slightly closed. He succeeded. The aphid had left its safe nest and started walking in its own direction. Of course, Tianxiang himself didn't put in much effort at all. All he did was release the thinking energy in his mind, lock onto the aphid, and then form a semi-mandatory command in its brain to control all the behavior of the aphid.

"Since you can control the first one, you can definitely control the second one." Tianxiang thought excitedly, and immediately let go of his thoughts again, searching for other possible bugs within his ability. But unfortunately, apart from this young aphid, no second bug appeared in the brainwave detection range.

This result made Tianxiang feel a little unhappy, and the slow movement of the aphid also made him feel very uncomfortable. In order to achieve his goal as soon as possible, Tianxiang subconsciously strengthened his command thinking towards Aphid. However, even he himself could not predict the consequences of this.

Aphids feel very uncomfortable, really uncomfortable. It was as if there was a heavy stone pressing on the cranial nerves in his head, making it unbearable. The inexplicable voice kept repeating the same command. Although it was already acting in accordance with the voice's instructions, it seemed to be dissatisfied at all and desperately increased the frequency and speed of the voice. Moreover, an inexplicable consciousness is also forcing myself to crawl forward as quickly as possible. In this way, the weak sense of autonomy in Aphid's head was quickly destroyed and replaced by Tianxiang's thinking energy. Dominate it to stretch its short limbs and move forward frantically. Correspondingly, Tianxiang's command consciousness also accelerated, making the poor aphid unable to keep up with the frequency of his command consciousness no matter how hard he ran.

Soon, less than a few meters away from the house, the aphid's brain nerves could no longer bear the excessive stimulation and exploded suddenly.

"How could it be like this?" Tianxiang stood up and jumped out of the house, staring blankly at the aphid corpse on the ground with its head split open and streams of fishy green liquid flowing out. His heart was filled with infinite fear and desolation. He never thought that his conscious energy could cause such terrible consequences. This is a juvenile aphid and killing it is not difficult. Even if you just step on it casually, the aphid will be instantly shattered into pieces. But the problem is, now that I haven't done anything at all, I just thought about it casually in my mind, this poor bug has been killed by a headshot due to the chaotic thinking. Oh My God! Is such an ability really something humans can possess?

Although the panic in his heart could not be dissipated for the time being, Tianxiang still picked up the aphid's body from the ground, went into the house, washed it, peeled it off, and put it on the fire. He hadn't eaten enough yet, and this little bug that came to the door automatically and acted as a poor test subject could just be used to solve the problem 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 be matched by any laws of the hunting world. As for the two "Tai Chi Atlas", after he had completely memorized them, he stuffed them back into the most secret and personal 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 second is to learn from something that can calculate time. The timer on Tianxiang's wrist is one of them. Six hours later, Tianxiang was awakened from his sweet sleep by vibrations on his wrist.

The time for rest is almost over, and now he must continue on the road. Otherwise, he would not be able to return to the crypt smoothly before Tianrou eats all the food.

Tianxiang walked very fast. No, it's not walking, it should be running. Although not to the point of running fast, he was indeed running. Even Tianxiang himself found this jogging speed strange. Because since he set out on the road, he has been pondering in his mind the idiosyncratic terms in the second half of the "Atlas" and a strange picture printed on the inside page of the book.

It was a picture of a standing human being, with incomprehensible words covering the whole body of the person in the picture. To be honest, the structure of this painting is actually very simple, and Tianxiang knows all the accompanying text. But what made him feel depressed was that Tianxiang had no idea what this painting meant, or what the author wanted to express.

Not knowing does not mean not knowing at all. At least there was something he could understand. That is the distribution of human body structures in the painting, as well as the tiny arrows traveling along various body organs.

"Here are the lungs, here are the kidneys. Above that is the heart..." Tianxiang silently recalled the internal organs marked by arrows on the picture. He was very familiar with these things. When he helped decompose the corpses of other hunters, he had more or less opportunities to "visit" them. Of course, those people were not killed by him, but died of other reasons...

In this way, Tianxiang was thinking about the organs in his body that the arrow passed along, while walking in the direction of the crypt along the route he came from, and at the same time, he also used part of his thoughts to carefully pay attention to the sudden attack of insects hidden in the dark. After a lot of multitasking, he didn't even notice it himself. Unknowingly, the slowly moving footsteps became faster and faster, and the distance between the steps became wider and wider. In the end, the speed of the footsteps could no longer be reached. Follow the instructions given. Just like that, walking turned into running.

"Running is hard." This is an important experience Tianxiang gained in hunting. Lack of food and poor nutritional status prevent almost all hunters from maintaining their strongest physical strength. Therefore, running for a long time would not be done casually unless it was absolutely necessary. Tianxiang is no exception. Although he knew that he could run very fast and his physical strength was somewhat stronger than that of ordinary people, he still followed his own principles.

However, this principle is obviously no longer suitable for him now.

"I don't feel tired?" This is what Tianxiang can't figure out the most. Three hours have passed since I came out of the room where I rested last night, and I was almost running. Not only did I not feel tired, I even felt somewhat energetic. Especially the previous symptoms such as increased heartbeat or difficulty breathing due to running, had no symptoms at all on me. This is really surprising.

Most importantly, the loaded submachine gun and the heavy magazines in various pockets of his clothes seemed to have completely lost weight. Coupled with the good elasticity from the soles of the combat uniform, Tianxiang felt that he was simply running forward on nothing. At this rate, it would only take another ten hours at most to return to the crypt early.

It was at this moment that Tianxiang was distracted and completely forgot about the small arrows he had imagined in his mind. After a few minutes, he was out of breath and had to stop running, put his hands on his knees and took a deep breath. A huge feeling of fatigue completely took over his body in an instant.

"How could this happen? What on earth is going on?" Tianxiang asked himself doubtfully while panting. Of course, such a question is not difficult for the evolving brain. After thinking for a while, Tianxiang immediately came up with the answer.

"That's probably what that weird picture is for!"

With no time to think about it, Tianxiang immediately imagined in his mind the scene of countless arrows circulating back and forth in his body according to the marks on the picture. Only a few minutes later, after adjusting his breath, he felt that the lost power gradually returned to his body again.

However, surprises also came from this.

Human beings 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 perform several completely different actions. Although there are always exceptions to everything, some people with flexible minds can do two or even three tasks at once. But the number of these people is definitely not large. Tianxiang is naturally not included in this list.

The physical fatigue and thinking about the problem made him retract his thoughts that were spreading around in an instant. In this way, it is equivalent to narrowing the search range to the most basic audio-visual distance in disguise. And just at this time, two fear beetles that seemed to be taking a leisurely walk were also carefully looking for their prey in the ruins, slowly walking towards Tianxiang's location.

Even though he withdrew his sense of thought, the insect brain's excellent ability to predict the danger still allowed Tianxiang to spot the danger when the fear beetle was approaching. This is a kind of carnivorous insect whose body surface is covered with thick carapace. Although they move much slower than other insects, they have the terrifying movement power that suddenly bursts out at the moment of hunting, and the meager wings hidden under the carapace. The ability to fly short distances makes the Dread Beetle a terrifying existence that makes all hunters avoid it.

If it were in the past, Tianxiang would immediately take everything with him without even thinking about it, and go as far as he could. This kind of bug has thick skin and thick flesh. Even the sharpest steel spear cannot pose a fatal threat to them. Rather than go up there and die yourself, it's better to take a longer detour. What's more, there are actually two terrifying beetles in front of him.

"Kill them and try the power of this M5G43 submachine gun." This was the only thought that surrounded Tianxiang's head at this time. After seeing the terrifying power of that old pistol, he had always wanted to find an opportunity to try the M5G43 he had just obtained. It's not because he deliberately wants to kill, he just wants to know the specific performance of the weapon he uses.

The insect's sense is quite keen, and when it is still a hundred meters away, the fear beetle has already discovered the presence of the prey directly in front of it. Although he was somewhat surprised by the strange behavior of this thin human being, the two huge bugs still attacked the target as fast as they could. After all, even the most powerful insects cannot resist the urgent need for food.

"Click, click, click -" With the tongue of fire spurting out from the muzzle of the M5G43 submachine gun, a series of bullets roared out of the barrel, with huge impact, and penetrated into the body of the Terror Beetle. The carapace covering its surface could not stop such a terrifying thing with huge destructive power. Soon, the smooth and beautiful carapaces of the two giant insects were filled with holes, as if two semicircular honeycombs had fallen to the ground.

Despite his previous experience in pistol shooting, Tianxiang was still stunned by the power of the gun in his hand. In less than a minute, two bugs that even fifty hunters could not defeat lay on the ground like two puddles of mud. What kind of power is this! It was at this time that Tianxiang discovered that the magazine of the M5G43 submachine gun in his hand had been completely emptied. A total of sixty rounds of ammunition were expended on two bugs just because of his momentary nervousness.

"It's really not a good deal!" Tianxiang muttered and pulled out the empty magazine from the slightly hot gun body, then took another one out of the pocket on his waist and inserted it again. He carefully observed the wounds on the insect corpse and finally concluded that he had made a big mistake. There is no need to waste so many bullets, just a few can kill these two huge bugs.

"Just think of it as a lesson!" Tianxiang sighed, pulled out a sharp dagger from his feet, easily cut open 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 is my own dinner on the road. After wasting a lot of bullets, Tianxiang felt that this really expensive piece of insect meat should be more delicious.

Adjusting the breath in his body, Tianxiang's pace became faster and faster. However, just as they were about to approach the crypt, the insect brain's predictive ability once again sounded a dangerous alarm.

"It's Tianrou, it's Tianrou who is in danger." Tianxiang suddenly accelerated his running speed without analyzing the source of the danger. Soon, when he ran to a ruins only a hundred meters away from the crypt, Tianxiang suddenly stopped in his tracks. The terrifying scene in front of him made his black pupils shrink as sharp as a needle.

Insects, hundreds of them, were crowded into a pile, lying densely in front of the narrow opening in Tianrou's cave.

"Big-toothed white louse!" Looking at the swarms of insects covered with shocking red and yellow patterns, Tianxiang couldn't help but uttered this frightening name. That's right, the bug in front of you is White Tick, a gregarious carnivorous insect.

"What happened to Tianrou? How did she attract so many bugs? Is she still alive?" A series of questions made Tianxiang himself stunned. In desperation, he could only release his thoughts immediately and move towards the entrance of the crypt where the insects were swarming.

Neither the chaotic insects nor the ruins of walls all over the ground can stop this energy wave that is invisible to the naked eye. After unknowingly crossing the swarm of insects, Tianxiang's thoughts finally penetrated into the cave. He was very happy to see: Tianrou, whose face was full of fear, was trying hard to stab the entrance of the cave with a steel spear with her little hands. The small door that I was worried about and reinforced again when I left is now occupied by a giant-toothed white louse that just stuck its head in. However, it can no longer pose any threat to Tianrou. The sharp spear tip had pierced the insect's head. Black and shiny insect blood slowly flowed down the disgusting grooves on its head. Maybe it's because the body is too big! The corpse of this unfortunate bug completely occupied the entire entrance to the crypt. Therefore, although this scene looks quite scary, for the weak Tianrou, it has temporarily formed a relatively safe situation.

White lice are carnivorous insects that eat humans, insects, and all fleshy creatures. There is no reason to let go of his dead compatriots. The large group of insects crowding at the entrance to the crypt were just trying to compete for the corpses of their companions. As for the guys at the back who smelled the smell of blood but couldn't squeeze in, they could only stand around outside in annoyance and let out hoarse moans. And more giant-toothed white lice are waiting anxiously near the burrow, circling back and forth desperately. Obviously, Tianrou, who was crying in the crypt, was more tempting to them.

"Tianrou must be rescued as soon as possible." Tianxiang told himself. Because at this moment, his thoughts had discovered that the body of the giant-toothed white louse that had died unjustly had been mostly eaten by a large number of companions gathered outside. As for the terrifying insect head that was firmly blocking the entrance of the cave, it also seemed to be somewhat loosened by the pull of other insects.
