Chapter 235: The Fear Spreader

"It's not far." That's what Euro Ten said before he left.

Of course, Song Rui and Tao Ran felt that this 'not very far' was a place that could be reached within a day or two, but they didn't expect that this walk would be seven days, and it seemed that it was far from the end.

"It's really not very far, can it be called a long journey in ten days?" When questioned, Oshi yawned and replied.

When Song Rui heard it, he got it! Seven Days of Daring is just the beginning!

That night, several people found a place to camp, and Song Rui went to collect ingredients. Ou Shi is the real shopkeeper, he doesn't care about choosing routes, camping, collecting ingredients, guarding, etc., the most he does every day is to seize all the time to sleep, and of course, he occasionally works part-time to protect Tao Ran.

Although Song Rui felt that his state was very strange, he didn't ask much, maybe people were recuperating.

With Ou Shi by Tao Ran's side, Song Rui can also put some heart at ease. So, when he was collecting ingredients today, he walked a little farther. After picking more than a dozen rice bowls and coconut fruits, Song Rui roughly knitted a net pocket with rattan and carried it on his back, at this time he had not yet noticed the danger approaching.

Song Rui took a few more steps forward, if he was not mistaken, it should be pumpkin pudding in front, Tao Ran would like it very much. The pumpkin pudding is next to the ham and egg grass, which goes well with the rice bowl and coconut fruit.

However, Song Rui also quickly discovered the abnormalities around him, he was also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, and his sense of qi was also very keen.

The silence was excessive, no roars, no birds, no insects, not even the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, it was as quiet as a dead place.

Song Rui realized that something was wrong, and was just about to retreat, when suddenly a thick burst of red smoke enveloped him, and instantly filled the entire space around him, as if a net had already been laid out, just to trap Song Rui here.

At the same time, Ou Shi suddenly felt something, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, looking in the direction that Song Rui left. However, he glanced at Tao Ran, who was preparing the food, and sat still in place. He did not get up, nor did he continue to sleep, but sat uncharacteristically upright, his expression solemn, and his light brown eyes were awe-inspiring.

"It's the fear-monger...... "O Shi muttered to himself, "young man, ask for your own blessings!" ”

And Xiaobai also suddenly raised his ears, and wanted to run in the direction of Song Rui, but before it accelerated, one hand accurately grabbed the fur on the back of its neck, and when he looked back, it was Ou Shi, "Little guy, that place is not where you should go, you will die~"

"Hiss-" It is true that he is thinking about Xiaobai, but Xiaobai does not appreciate it at all, it is very anxious now, and roars at Ou Shi, asking him to let go of himself.

"Don't worry...... Trust your dad, I'll tell you, that thing can't be defeated by numbers. Ou Shi softly reassured, "The more people go, the more people are in a desperate situation......

Song Rui here naturally didn't know the conversation between Ou Shi and Xiaobai, and at the moment when the red fog appeared, Song Rui only felt a burst of creepy, and the most primitive and profound fear that came up from the depths of his bones made his whole person almost jump.

Like a mouse being targeted by a cat, its bones are stiff and soft, and it is completely unable to resist.

Of course, Song Rui is not so unbearable, but his state is also quite not optimistic. He has experienced a lot of battles, but it is the first time he has such a feeling of fear, if he is a normal person, it is estimated that his hair will stand on end and cold sweat will be dripping.

"What's the situation?" Song Rui struggled to maintain the agility of his mind, refusing to be crushed by this fear, "I didn't feel the killing intent, I didn't even have the slightest hostility, so what's going on with this feeling of fear?" ”

From a scientific point of view, there are two sources of fear: the inability to survive and the inability to be loved, and all other fears come from both. The fear that Song Rui felt seemed to come from not being able to survive, but he couldn't really feel what was making him unable to survive.

Fear has been defined by many people, and even deified and demonized it, giving it layers of aura. There are also people who fundamentally want to overcome and overcome the emotion of fear, and the theories they have developed can be roughly divided into the following processes: accepting and recognizing the existence of fear - finding out the sufficient reason for the fear to arise - and getting out of the fear through practice.

The basis of this theory is cognition.

Yes, they believe that although fear itself seems intangible and imaginative and full of imagination, it has a most basic and concrete image.

And most of the time, that's exactly what happened.

Song Rui once communicated with Shi Yu on the topic of fear, and Shi Yu's views coincide with this theory, and they all believe that fear has the most primitive image, which is very specific, so specific that you may not imagine it at all. And Shi Yu usually uses these extremely specific things to generate illusions, so as to break people's mental defenses and infinitely magnify this fear.

However, Song Rui is a little confused now, because the emotions he feels at this time do not have any specific imagery, only fear. He didn't even know why he was afraid, and he couldn't understand the source of his fear, and the only real thing was fear.

This fear continued to increase, and Song Rui felt that his skeleton frame was trembling slightly at a certain frequency, making a sound of Karakala, and he was about to lose his weight.

"Poof!" Finally, when the fear brewed to a critical point, Song Rui was crushed, he couldn't even maintain a standing posture and fell to the ground. After falling to the ground, Song Rui's whole body was still trembling, and he curled himself up in a ball uncontrollably, as if he could resist the pervasive fear.

These movements were like instinctive reactions, completely outside of Song Rui's control. In other words, these are all instinctive instructions from consciousness to the body under the pressure of fear.

In other words, this kind of fear directly acts on the conscious level, and the greatest pressure also comes from the spiritual level, and even has nothing to do with people's experience, emotions, and cognition, and only the most primitive instinctive fear is transmitted.

"It's not good......" Song Rui said with difficulty as he held on to his consciousness. In fact, he felt like his spirit was going to break.

Fear is like a seasoned and cruel hunter, shrinking the encirclement little by little, putting straw after straw on the tense nerves of the prey. Maybe there is a limit to the degree of fear, but Song Rui doesn't know if he can survive this limit in his own state, and he even feels that the next straw is the last one that crushes him.
