Huo Xiaotian was so distracted that he forgot that he was also in the centipede cave.

Suddenly, he only heard a "rustling" sound behind him, Huo Xiaotian turned around suddenly, only to see a centipede rushing towards him.

The centipede, which was more than half a meter long, was almost more than ten centimeters tall after standing upright.

On the upright body, two rows of sharp minions, one by one, looked extremely terrifying.

Seeing this, Huo Xiaotian was shocked into a cold sweat, anyone who saw such a big centipede for the first time would be frightened.

Huo Xiaotian turned around and wanted to run, but because he was too nervous, when he turned around, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground with a "plop".

And the centipede also quickly seized the opportunity and pounced towards Huo Xiaotian.

Huo Xiaotian saw the centipede pounce on him, and in a hurry, he hurriedly threw a big red-robed rooster pinned to his waist.

This red-robed rooster is a prop for Huo Xiaotian to test the ferocity of the centipede, it is said that the centipede is a predatory animal, the so-called predatory animal, is a species that lives by preying on other creatures.

Although centipedes are a bit small compared to humans, in the insect kingdom, centipedes are overlord-level existences.

In nature, even if it is a poisonous scorpion, it is not easy to provoke a centipede.

There was an example of a poisonous scorpion that failed to hunt centipedes, but was devoured by centipedes.

Although centipedes are not big, some experts have counted that about 90% of the world's people are afraid of centipedes, and after seeing centipedes, they will feel very uncomfortable, and have an urge to stay away, and even most people dare not step on centipedes with their feet.

Why are centipedes so small, and we humans are afraid of centipedes?

Some friends may say. Because centipedes have many feet, they are cautious to look at, and centipedes are poisonous, and they are afraid of being stung.

Actually, that's not the real reason, then jellyfish are also poisonous. Moreover, it is N times more toxic than centipedes, and anyone who swims in the sea knows that if a person is stung by a jellyfish in the sea, there is a high probability that he will drown if no one treats him in time.

But are we humans afraid of jellyfish?

They are not afraid, and even island countries like to cook jellyfish as an ingredient.

So, why are we afraid of baby centipedes? According to experts, it is due to the fact that we inherited the fear gene of our ancient ancestors.

In ancient times, when our ancestors were still reptiles, they once became the prey of centipede ancestors, and that period was quite long, almost tens of millions of years.

During that long time, our ancestors were at constant risk of being preyed upon by centipedes, and this fear of centipedes was deeply imprinted in our genome sequences. So, to this day. Although we have evolved strong bones and muscles, well-developed brains and agile hands, centipedes are no longer natural predators of humans, but because the residual fear factor in the genes is still there. We still maintain an instinctive fear and awe of our former predators.

Speaking of this, careful friends may ask again, don't you say that you were not afraid of centipedes when you were a child?

Yes, not just me, many little boys. When I was a child, I was not afraid of centipedes, just like a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but this does not mean that there are no fragments of fear of tigers in the genes of cows, but because they are small and have not yet matured, the expression of some genes is relatively lagging behind.

For example, the difference between the bodies of little boys and little girls is not very big before the age of ten, and it is only after puberty that the developmental genome of boys and girls is fully opened, thus gradually distinguishing boys and girls.

Therefore, not being afraid of centipedes when I was a child does not conflict with having the gene of being afraid of centipedes in my body.

Huo Xiaotian brought a live chicken to the centipede hole, the chicken is the nemesis of the centipede in nature, no matter how stubborn the centipede, if it encounters a chicken, I am afraid it will only be caught.

Huo Xiaotian wanted to test whether the centipedes in the centipede cave were also afraid of chickens, if they were afraid of chickens, it would prove that the centipedes here were not much different from the ordinary centipedes outside, but they were a little bigger.

However, if the centipedes here are not afraid of chickens, then this means that the centipedes here are more ferocious than ordinary centipedes, in that case, maybe Huo Xiaotian will be in big trouble.

Huo Xiaotian threw the live chicken at the centipede, but the centipede didn't dodge and pounced straight towards the live chicken.

Before the chicken landed, it was pounced on by the centipede, and the two highly poisonous fangs on the centipede's head stabbed into the chicken's ribs, and suddenly, the violent toxin quickly poured into the rooster's body.

This is a big rooster in a red robe, with a gross weight of more than ten catties, and among the chickens, he has the demeanor of a king.

This big rooster is one of the dozens of pheasants that Huo Xiaotian raised when he was idle on the Big Bamboo Peak.

Because he has plenty of time to cultivate immortals on the mountain, when he is bored, Huo Xiaotian uses cockfighting for fun.

This big rooster was actually not very powerful before, and he was often bullied by other roosters, but later, when Huo Xiaotian was cleaning the room, he accidentally found a centipede in the corner of the room, so he threw it into the yard and fed the bullied rooster.

As a result, after the rooster ate the centipede, it underwent a drastic change, first fighting all over his body, behaving a little abnormally, and then flying around, not sleeping at night, pimpling in the chicken coop, and scratching the wall with his claws.

Huo Xiaotian thought at first that this chicken was enchanted? Why did I suddenly have epilepsy?

As a result, after a few days, the chicken's temperament changed dramatically and began to become ferocious.

Often fight with the chickens around it, those roosters who have bullied it, almost all of them have been beaten all over the ground by it, and they don't dare to bully it anymore, and even when it sees the big yellow dog, it is not afraid, and it wants to attack the rhubarb several times, scaring the rhubarb to run around.

Huo Xiaotian thought that this rooster was very interesting, so he took this rooster to the centipede hole.

First, the rooster is the most yang thing, and the centipede belongs to the yin poison thing, the yang overcomes the yin, and the rooster regulates the centipede, so Huo Xiaotian brought the red-robed rooster to the auspicious.

However, what he never expected was that the big rooster in red robe was knocked down by the centipede, and he never got up again.

The centipede's poison pierced into the ribs of the big rooster in red robes, and suddenly, a violent burning pain spread throughout the whole body of the big rooster in red robes, and the big rooster in red roosters screamed hysterically, constantly flapping its wings violently, as if it was about to fly up from the ground, but it was entangled in the body by the claws of the centipede, firmly pressed to the ground, no matter how the legs of the big rooster kicked, the centipede did not let go.

In just a moment, the fierce and invincible red-robed rooster was pinched by the centipede and lay on the ground, motionless. (To be continued.) )
