Chapter Twenty-Nine: Ways to Counter Giant Earthworms

Rumble!

The moment the giant earthworm's abyssal jaw was aligned, the majestic mental pressure made Lin Xi's eyes darken, as if the entire world had been overturned in this instant.

The girl in his arms behaved even more unbearable, although the two white and tender little hands covered her mouth at the first time, Lin Xi could clearly feel that her body was shaking like chaff under intense fear.

"Whew."

Lin Xi exhaled softly, feeling a little unbearable.

Although he knew that it was irrational to do so, he gently patted the girl on the shoulder.

Then, when the latter looked at him with horrified eyes, the corners of his mouth lifted and a silent smile of encouragement appeared.

"It's okay if you don't move, trust me."

He said this comforting with his eyes.

The girl obviously understood his comfort, her expression relaxed, and the fear in her eyes instantly dissipated a lot, replaced by a grateful look, but the tears could not stop flowing.

Lin Xi smiled again and shook his head.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and immediately suppressed the sobbing sound that was about to erupt.

Lin Xi slowly stretched out his right hand and made a thumbs-up gesture.

Then the two laughed silently together.

At this moment, dark clouds rolled in the sky, lightning and thunder roared, and the wind seemed to destroy the whole world.

However, under the noses of such a monster that may have transcended the entire history of life on Earth, this pair of young boys and girls who had to hug each other tightly because of danger showed a sunny smile at the same time.

Although the environment around them was still so sinister, their mood seemed to warm up suddenly.

"Don't move, it's, sense, vibrate."

Lin Xi silently pointed to the giant earthworm, and then his fingers quickly wrote on the ashes burned by the fire.

His movements were quick and fast, but very slight, barely causing any vibrations in the deep earth.

Slender and powerful fingers swiped, only a shallow mark on the surface of the gray embers, just enough for the girl to read his handwriting.

The smart girl of Bing Xue quickly understood the consciousness that Lin Xi wanted to express:

It relies on vibration to perceive its surroundings, and as long as it does not move and does not cause vibrations, it can blind its perception.

Since the last time he escaped death from the mouth of the giant earthworm, this desolate dragon-like monster has been haunting Lin Xi like a nightmare, and his intuition tells him that sooner or later the two will meet again, and if he can't come up with a way to restrain himself, then the next time they meet will be his death.

From then on, whenever he had free time, Lin Xi would always recall all the details of what happened to him and the giant earthworm.

In the end, he concluded that from the outside, this earthworm does not have eyes, ears and nose, that is, it should not have the usual sense of sight, hearing, and smell, and deep underground, these ordinary senses are definitely not as sharp as it.

After ruling out these possible ways of perception, Lin Xi immediately thought that the remaining ways of perception of this earthworm were nothing more than tactile perception, biomagnetic field, and mysterious sixth sense.

However, in the animal kingdom, the sixth sense generally needs to be supported by a highly developed brain, and a low-level link creature like an earthworm, even if it becomes larger and its body tissues become stronger, is unlikely to evolve a brain that is superior, because it may not be more efficient for it than relying on genetic instinct to hunt food.

The same is true for biomagnetic field sensing, which also requires the evolution of certain bird-specific brain organs.

On the contrary, the sense of touch, which can play a role in the vibration transmission medium that is better than the air, is far more powerful than other means of perception, and the giant earthworm in the selection of hunting targets, undoubtedly also illustrates this point, its two priority targets are giant dogs and monitor lizards, these two creatures before being hunted, the movements are much more intense than Lin Xi and the girl, and the vibrations naturally aroused are not at the same level.

After clarifying everything, the means to deal with this earthworm are about to come out, that is:

If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, as long as the clouds of death dissipate, the earthworms will automatically retreat, and the two of them will basically be safe at that time.

Knowing this, Lin Xi and the girl's reactions immediately became targeted.

They first quickly eased their breathing, trying to minimize the airflow vibration caused by breathing, and their bodies lay motionless on the ground, even if they had any ideas to communicate, most of them were communicated through their eyes, and only when they needed to express some complex meanings, they would write lightly on the ground, but not much, just a few key words, and stop after writing.

In this way, the vibrations caused by the activities of the two people were immediately reduced to a minimum.

Sure enough, after they did this, the super giant earthworm, which was originally extremely aggressive, immediately changed its attitude, and its huge body stood in mid-air and twisted its head, tilting its head, and hesitating in the area where the two were lying on their stomachs, and the terrifying momentum also decreased a lot.

If the killing intent and doubts it originally showed were still five or five, then now judging from its actions, it has become three points of killing intent and seven points of doubt, and the possibility of launching an attack at any time has basically been ruled out.

But even so, this guy stubbornly refused to leave, and the scene was frozen here for a while.

The super giant earthworm refused to leave, and Lin Xi and the others naturally didn't dare to get up, even if the ground was so hot that their chests and abdomen were burning hot, they could only continue to maintain a stiff motion, and they didn't even dare to move their bodies, for fear that if they moved slightly, they would attract the other party's killing from the ground up.

"It can't go on like this."

Feeling that the pain in his chest and abdomen was gradually changing to numbness, Lin Xi smiled bitterly and wrote three words on the ground, "Yes, yes." ”

The girl glanced at the words he wrote, and immediately rolled her eyes angrily, as if to reproach him, "Don't write out what you complain about, be careful of being eaten." ”

Lin Xi was stunned by the girl's white eyes, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.

It's obviously just a simple expression, but from her pretty face, which is full of charm and charm, it is extremely charming.

It's just that judging from the girl's red and sweaty face and gritted teeth, it is obvious that she is also suffering from the high temperature on the ground and is feeling very uncomfortable.

"This little goblin really makes people's hearts beat faster."

Lin Xi said to himself in his heart.

However, just as he turned this thought, it was like another lightning bolt suddenly struck his mind, shattering all the fog in an instant!

"Heartbeat!"

Lin Xi frowned, and instantly understood the reason why the giant earthworm refused to leave.

Although the two of them were able to control their breathing and movements, they could not stop their hearts from beating, and now that they were lying flat on the ground, the vibrations caused by their heartbeats could easily be transmitted to the ground through the sternum, and then felt by the giant earthworms.

At this time, the two of them were as motionless as rocks, without other vibrations, and the earthworm's simple predatory instinct naturally did not know whether to count them as dead or prey.

Presumably, this is the root cause of its lingering doubts.

He glanced at the giant earthworm again, and sure enough, he found that at the same time as his heart was racing, the danger in the other party's posture had also increased a lot.

"Hush."

Lin Xi snorted disdainfully in his heart.

Finding the root cause, the problem was solved, he paused, and suddenly lifted his shoulder, relying on his strong muscular strength, his chest immediately left the ground flat, and when he had done all this, he glanced at the girl again, and motioned for her to deal with it as he did.

Ten seconds later.

The attack of the giant earthworm in Lin Xi's eyes really decreased a lot again, but he still refused to leave, seeing this, he couldn't help but wrinkle, and thought silently, "Do you really have to wait for the cloud of death to dissipate?" ”

However, just when he was depressed, the corner of his eye suddenly fed back to him a scene that was enough to make every normal man's heart beat fast and his face red.

It turned out that just when the girl was following Lin Xi's example of lifting her chest and abdomen, something suddenly happened that made her extremely embarrassed.

That is, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the earthworm, the action of the two of them lifting their bodies must not be too big, but when the girl tried to do it, she found that because some part of her body was too full, she couldn't completely disengage her chest from the ground anyway!

At this moment, she was so anxious that she was about to cry!

Soon, Lin Xi's eyes looked over, and then he showed an expression of sudden realization.

The girl was immediately ashamed, and subconsciously glared back at him.

Who knew that Lin Xi happily didn't take her shame seriously at all, but while enjoying this glaring style, he smiled evilly and wrote a few words on the ground:

"So that's the problem."

The girl's face suddenly turned red, as if it was about to drip blood in an instant!

After a long while, she slowly stretched out her hand and gritted her teeth and wrote on the ground: "Think, do, law!" ”

Lin Xi shrugged his shoulders and hugged a wicked smile.

But after laughing, he himself seemed to hesitate.

After a few seconds of silence, he stretched out his hand again and wrote slowly, "Method, there is, grievance, you, don't call." ”

The girl gave him a blank look, not understanding what he wanted to do, but eventually nodded in confusion.

However, in the next second, Lin Xi quietly made a move that she would never forget!

This guy actually supported his body with one hand, and then stretched out his other hand, and under the gaze of the girl's eyes that mixed all kinds of complex emotions such as surprise, shame, anger, and incomprehension, he directly backhanded, forcibly stuffed his palm into the ground and her chest, and then used his arm to lift her body off the ground!

Rumble!

Feeling the power of Lin Xi's palm, the girl trembled, as if she was hit by a thunderbolt on a sunny day!

"I ...... I...... I was actually touched by him!!! ”

At this moment, she only felt that the world was spinning, and her mind suddenly became a blank!
