Book 1: The First Advent Chapter 2 Searching for Instinct

When Luo Xia became conscious again, he found himself in a sea of egg whites.

The sea is so bright that you can barely feel the difference between top and bottom, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

And all over this ocean, there are still clumps of green flocculent material floating.

Luo Xia was speechless to discover that he had truly become a single-celled creature: with an oval-shaped head and a tentacle like a tail.

And the whole body is translucent, with a dark green hardcore in the middle.

His consciousness was able to imbue this cell.

It's like playing a first-person game, the difference is that he feels the presence of this body.

"Energy is limited, master your instincts as quickly as possible, and good luck."

Xiao Xi's voice appeared in Luo Xia's consciousness.

Then, under his nervous gaze, the sky above his head darkened, and countless strange-shaped, single-celled creatures about the same size as him began to fall from the sky!

Densely floated in this space filled with nutrient solution.

Luo Xiachu estimated that there were at least tens of thousands.

Some of these creatures are similar in length to Luo Xia, with a water bag and a tail.

Some of them look like a long hydration bag, while others have an ugly shape with several tails or tentacles...

Anyway, there are a lot of types, and there are all kinds of shapes!

It's just that he couldn't figure out why he put so much in: "Isn't this a bit much?" ”

After calling several times and not responding, Luo Xia could only give up.

"Instinct? What is Instinct? Is it possible that the speed of the exercise reaction is at the limit?"

He watched these single-celled creatures swimming unconsciously around the space, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Luo Xia was an otaku before, and this kind of thing in the field of fighting and fighting is simply impossible to start.

He could only be careful to avoid his fellow human beings swimming past him, intending to observe before he moved.

The only thing to be thankful for is that other single-celled beings other than him do not appear to be sapient!

Suddenly, two creatures in front of them collided in Luo Xia's field of vision.

The brutal and frantic fight began without warning!

On both sides of the battle, one side is as awkward as Luo Xia, and the other side is a long blister.

Looks a bit silly.

But once the battle starts, the style is extremely ferocious!

At the moment when the two sides inadvertently touched.

First, a tadpole-type single-cell tail pierced into the opponent's body and took the core of the opponent's cell.

And the long blister was not to be outdone, it completely ignored the injuries caused by the other party. After a twist of the body, one end was twisted into a sharp shape by himself at great speed, and directly hit the opponent's body, and began to use the previous torsion to drill in the opposite direction frantically!

Luo Xia seemed to hear a "snap",

The previous tadpole creature exploded directly, and the 'water bag' containing the cell core exploded entirely...

The "nucleus" is then scattered around...

Immediately afterward, a magical scene that did not make sense happened.

The victor sucked the broken cell nucleus material that originally belonged to the opponent into his body little by little!

Although it was not obvious, Luo Xia could still feel that its nucleus had become larger.

Even the cell membranes seem to have thickened a bit...

It's getting stronger.

Luo Xia was thoughtful...

It seems that in the strange space here, this rule of mutual devouring and strengthening itself has been added, or the process of devouring the same kind of growth has been accelerated.

Presumably, these rules are also applicable to Luo Xia.

Does this mean that as long as he devours other creatures, he can keep getting stronger?

It's just that the process of this battle also made him tremble.

Because it's too fast, it's too brutal.

The battle was completed from start to finish almost, almost in the blink of an eye.

He shook his tail behind his back, and commanded the body of a cell with the consciousness of the whole person, which was naturally extremely easy.

However, compared to the two sides of the previous battle, there is no comparison at all.

That kind of reflection speed... No, it's not a matter of reaction speed at all, it's 0 reaction speed!

That's the fighting instinct that belongs to the primitive form of the creature!

In Luo Xia's current state, to fight any single-celled organism is to be completely killed.

Looking at the various single-celled creatures densely packed around him, Luo Xia felt numb.

He let out a groan in his consciousness, then more carefully avoided the creatures that swam around him from time to time.

As he swam along, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a green substance floating in a nutrient solution, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became...

At that moment, a single-celled creature happened to swim in front of it, blocking the view between him and the mass.

Luo Xia finally remembered what it was!

Nutrients similar to the core of cells!

This is what the core substance of the defeated single-cell burst before!

A spirit.

Luo Xia wagged his tail quickly and swam towards the core substance.

It's like an innate ability, when he comes into contact with this mass of matter, he naturally "absorbs" it into his body!

Luo Xia felt it carefully.

He found himself in the nucleus of his body, like a picky eater.

After "repeatedly absorbing" this foreign substance, it is like gaining some kind of energy that is conducive to growth.

Then the foreign core material that has lost its energy is quickly shot out of the body, turned into loose residue, and dissipates in the sea of nutrient solution.

After a burst of pleasure that was enough to make Luo Xia moan, he obviously felt a little stronger.

Whether it is the strength of the tail flick or the speed of swimming, it is much faster.

The effect is very obvious!

Luo Xia, who was excited, suddenly rekindled hope in his heart. He wandered around quickly, searching for the scattered cores.

Time kept passing, and under the stimulation of the desire to survive, Luo Xia searched hard.

Since there were no strong competitors, most of the core substances that were found became the nutrients for his growth.

By the time he had absorbed almost all the core material he could find.

Luo Xia felt that he was many times stronger in all aspects, and even there was an extra layer of cuticle outside the epidermis!

It's a pity that until now, he hasn't even killed a single creature.

The ferocious and rapid killing around him made him a little cowardly, this is not really a game, maybe it will really hang up.

On the other hand, there are creatures that kill multiple of their kind.

He instinctively began to attack nearby targets.

This is undoubtedly a red flag.

Luo Xia knew that there was not much time left for him.

So I had to muster up the courage and began to swim towards a long bubble-like creature...

He raised his tail high, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the other party at the first opportunity!

The nutrient solution vibrated slightly when the body slid down, just like Luo Xia's excited and nervous mood...

It's just that before he could enter the best attack distance, the long strip-shaped opponent shook like lightning, dodged Luo Xia's tail, twisted his body and hit Luo Xia's body!

Fast!

It's so fast!

The opponent's attack came in an instant, and the speed and reflexes were so fast that Luo Xia didn't have time to react at all!

Luo Xia's consciousness screamed in horror, desperately dodging, but he was never able to get rid of the other party's entanglement.

Its sharp head, twisted like a twisted flower, was always on top of Luo Xia's skin.

At a very fast speed, it twists and turns repeatedly like a drill!

I'm going to die!

I'm going to die!

"Smack!"

After a crisp sound, in his Luo Xia's panic, the long bubble cells first burst open because of their excessive force!

He picked up a life with his solid skin...

"How so..."

He looked at his broken skin, and a great sense of fear came over him.

The emotions that were originally full of confidence because of swallowing a large amount of energy and matter fell to the bottom in an instant.

This, how else to fight?

This is still a soft persimmon specially selected by him!

Looking at some of the creatures around him that were becoming more and more powerful, under the pressure of survival, Luo Xia forced himself to calm down: "Instinct, instinct, what is instinct?" ”

"That's right! Single cells don't need to reflect time because they don't have a nervous system, or their nervous system doesn't need to transmit time, and I'm also a single cell, so I should be able to do it theoretically..."

So instinct, should it be to empty the mind, give up the command of consciousness, and let the body be free to fight?

There's no time to hesitate, the longer you drag it on, the stronger the enemies around you will be!

Under the pressure of survival, he once again mustered up his courage to swim towards another weak-looking single-celled organism.

It was a single-celled creature of his type.

It's just that...

The end result is the same as before, if not worse!

Luo Xia's body was almost pierced by the other party's sharp tail!

If it weren't for the last moment, the other party's tail was stuck by the hard skin, Luo Xia would have been killed in seconds!

"Damn! I can't! If you want to attack, how can you command without thinking! ”

Luo Xia, who was anxious and angry, flicked his tail fiercely! Lightning-fast!

Then he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and was stunned.

Because just now...

He didn't even think about wagging his tail!

Isn't this just instinct!

Because of anger! Unwilling! The instinct of the body is reflected!

One more time!

Luo Xia hurriedly recalled the feeling of that moment just now.

Soon he was pleased to discover that as long as there were certain emotions and thoughts in his heart. After eliminating the rest of the distractions, the body will automatically act with almost zero reaction time!

For example, after emptying the brain, leaving only angry emotions, it will swim around and flap its tail.

If only killing intent is left, the body will automatically look for a target to attack!

Control the body with emotions and only retain the clearest subconscious to control the body!

If it were a human being, it would not have been able to do so.

But now that he is a single cell, at the origin of life, anything is possible.

All instructions don't need to be transmitted, just an idea! Isn't it instinct to move with your mind without the constraints of your thoughts?

The only difficulty is to be clear about the distracting thoughts in the mind, and only retain the clearest consciousness to control emotions.

Luo Xia kept trying, until he finally became proficient, and he began to swim towards the creatures around him.

Trying to empty his mind, he no longer kept any thoughts and thoughts in his mind other than killing it, and completely surrendered the attack to his body.

With a blitz on the ground, Luo Xia's long tail instantly passed through the core of a cellular creature...
