Section 20 Friends
Brain wave infestation is quite effective. The giant locust, which was approaching step by step, was also affected by this inexplicable thought, and involuntarily turned its head with two huge compound eyes to Tianxiang's side. And the young man who was closely watching its movements, after only glancing in amazement in the direction where Tianxiang was, lost no time in throwing the sharp steel spear that had already been clenched in his hand at the head of the giant locust with all his might.
Insects and beasts are far more sensitive to danger than humans. Unlike the structure of the human eye, the compound eye, which protrudes outward, allows you to clearly see everything that is happening behind you, even when the head is completely facing forward. Naturally, the spear spear thrown by the young man could not escape its observation. Comparing the two sides, the giant locust quickly made an accurate judgment of its situation. Relying on the support of two strong and powerful hind limbs, he flexibly jumped several meters to the side, and after carefully dodging the attack of the flying steel spear, he immediately turned around and threw himself at the young man who dared to sneak up on him.
As soon as the spear gun was out of his hand, the young man endured the sharp pain from his injured leg and quickly shifted to his current position. He could see that the hunter who had just appeared on the side mound was clearly trying to help him. Although he didn't see any weapons in his hands, he didn't know what method he had just used to make the giant locust that was focused on his own teleportation to shift its target. But he could feel the kindness, gentleness, and majesty that came from this stranger.
After comparing the two, the young man quickly made a judgment that he wanted to create an opportunity for his helper, an opportunity that would allow him to make a move. So, this is the steel spear that he just threw with all his might even though he knew it wouldn't hit.
The moment the spear flew out, Tianxiang had already jumped high from the mound. By this time, the locust had completely abandoned him and turned his attention to dealing with the injured youth. After all, it seemed to the human who had just appeared, though it didn't know what exactly it had used to divert its attention. However, for now, it is clear that he is far less dangerous than the other wounded.
After all, the guy who has been confronting him also has a sharp spear gun in his hand. And the hands of the latecomers are empty. It was precisely because of this that the giant locust, knowing that Tianxiang was close to him, did not react to it at all, but single-mindedly launched a new round of attacks on the injured youth.
Oh, yes! What damage can a human without weapons do to a giant insect beast? Smash with your fists? Kicking with your feet? Or bite with your teeth? You know, I'm the highest level of insect evolution, the best combination of absolute strength and strong flesh. With the fragile flesh of a small human being, it is impossible to do me any harm at all.
The deepening of experience can evolve into wisdom. But if you take your little experience as the only basis for your actions, then it will be a low-level stupidity. This shows the huge evolutionary differences between humans and insects.
Tianxiang, who leaped into the giant locust, did not waste time, and saw that he had completely approached the tail of the huge body of the insect beast in a few jumps. It was at this time that the injured young man finally saw through the gaps in the locust's limbs and saw clearly the weapon in the hands of the rescuer, a short dagger with a silver-white light. This unexpected discovery almost didn't kill him on the spot, so angry that he vomited blood and died.
A dagger that is no more than an inch long, compared with the huge body of an insect beast that is more than ten meters long, is simply the difference between an ant and an elephant. It's no wonder that the giant locust has no interest in Tianxiang at all, and still turns its attention to the original target.
At that moment, the originally brave young man suddenly felt a pale sense of powerlessness all over his body. It was as if he had seen the Grim Reaper's terrible mouth grinning and slowly opening it towards him。。。。。。
"Whew-" A miserable wail suddenly pulled the young man's hopeless thoughts back to reality. It's just that the scene in front of him made him stammer, and he was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.
The giant locust's massive body was completely tilted, and the body on the left side, starting from the tail, rolled on its side on the ground. And the thick hindlimb that was supposed to support it behind it, and was more than four meters long after folding, was completely removed from the site connected to the locust at some point. It was only from the scar that oozes the blood of the dark green locust that it should have been where the locust's hind legs were located.
Tianxiang did not use a gun. This is mainly because he is in a position that is not at all suitable for shooting. The tail of the insect is different from the head, and even if all the bullets in the pistol were fired, the life of the giant locust would not be endangered at all. On the contrary, useless pain can provoke it completely. After going berserk, insects and beasts tend to do some extremely terrifying actions. At that time, even if Tianxiang had more bullets, it would probably be difficult to rescue that young man from the locust's mouth.
Therefore, the method he took was to take advantage of the indifference of the giant locust to himself, cut off the two hind legs that supported his body, and completely incapacitate him.
Apparently, his plan was a success. The giant locust, which had lost its left leg, could not get up from the ground smoothly for a while. Previous battles had resulted in the loss of half of its forelimbs, and it was also in the same direction as the amputated thigh. As a result, it can only support the entire weight of the left side of the body with a short forelimb, and the heavy tail naturally becomes a huge burden on the body. The enormous pain from the new wound was unbearable. In this way, the terrifying insect beast could only stay miserably, relying on the forelimb on the left, which was still intact, howling in pain, while slowly and with difficulty towards the near, but unreachable target, and kept shaking the two long tentacles on its head.
The young man who suddenly realized did not let go of this rare opportunity at all. Even though his wounded leg was still bleeding, he still grabbed the last spear he had at hand. Between his raised hands, a green light flew out of his hand, accurately burrowing into the giant mouth of the seriously injured insect beast. After a few muffled "poof-poof-" sounds, the sharp steel spear tip was stuck with a little green blood, and it pierced through the nape of the insect beast's neck covered by a pale cyan carapace, bare in the cold and wet air. It's like a strange thorn that grows out of a giant locust.
The dagger in Tianxiang's hand did not stop. When the young man struck, he had already scurried to the other side of the worm. Swiftly climbed up the thighs of the insect beast full of thyroid teeth. It wasn't until he rushed to the top that he picked up the dagger and stabbed downward, completely submerging the entire blade of the dagger into the yellow-green insect beast's legs. Then hold the dagger handle with both hands, stroke according to the inherent trajectory of the combination with the insect leg and the body, use the dagger as a support point, dexterously reflexively jump off the insect leg, use the huge force brought by the inertia of the body, completely cut off the connecting tissue of the thick insect leg facing his side, carefully avoid the sharp teeth on the insect limb, and then climb to the other side of the broken insect leg, and in the same way, from the opposite side of the original wound, re-cut a huge scar. At this point, the legs that had been severed on both sides could no longer bear the heavy body, and the only part that could be connected to it could only be torn apart with the burden. The giant locust, which had lost its legs, could not move at all, and could only wail bitterly, lying its entire incapacitated body helplessly on the cold ground, relying only on the remaining few stumps, powerlessly writhing around desperately.
Tianxiang didn't make any more moves, and after jumping off the worm's leg, he ran directly to the injured youth. The giant locust had completely lost its mobility, and the spear had already severely wounded it. This still alive insect beast is not much different from a dead insect at all.
"How are you? Is it okay? Tianxiang frowned and asked the young man who was already lying on the ground in pain.
"It's okay, it's okay! Well! You can really do it, you can deal with this big guy alone! The young man, who was stimulated by the wound and grinned, looked at the dying giant locust on the ground with emotion, and gave a thumbs up to Tianxiang in admiration.
Tianxiang smiled slightly, took out a clean white cloth from his coat pocket and stuffed it into the young man's hand, turned around and came to the insect leg that had just fallen off. He took out the dagger and stabbed it hard at the fattest part, cutting out a piece of flesh the size of an arm. Then he walked over to the steel spear that had missed the shot, and pulled it out. Piercing the worm flesh through it, he picked it up and walked quickly back to the young man who had bandaged his wounds, stretching out a hand.
"Let's go! Get out of here, it won't be long before those carnivorous worms are coming. ”
The young man nodded, took Tianxiang's hand with difficulty, stood up with difficulty, and shook his head regretfully at the insect beast with some unwillingness: "It's a pity, it took a long time to get such a big piece of meat." It's going to be given away for nothing. ”
Tianxiang smiled indifferently: "Although it's a pity, there is no way." Let's go! ”
"I don't know your name yet! My name is Ye Zhanfeng, what about you? ”
"Zhao Tianxiang!"
The two of them walked very fast, but in just a few minutes, they were already hundreds of meters away from the locust's location. On the one hand, it is because they are all eager to leave as soon as possible, and on the other hand, because Tianxiang has abundant strength in his body, he can completely bear the bodies of two people.
He was carrying this newborn companion on his back. Although the weight was doubled, it did not affect his running speed in the slightest. This also frightened the injured who had been lying on his back.
Ye Zhanfeng's dwelling was not far from here, but after a few miles of road, a low two-story ruin appeared in front of Tianxiang's eyes.
"Sit casually! You're welcome! The owner of the house, who had carefully slipped off Tianxiang's back, beckoned him to sit down as he tugged his injured thigh against a pile of extinguished embers. You can see that he is happy. After all, it's quite rare to meet a fellow hunter.
Burning, barbecue, 。。。。。。 After a series of necessary actions, the two hunters, who had just become acquainted, feasted around the warm fire. The hard-won insect meat seems to have become the best concoction to increase the friendship between two people. After asking each other, Tianxiang also gained a better understanding of this new partner who always had a vibrant smile on his face.
Like himself, Ye Zhanfeng, whose parents died, is also a hunter who survives alone. Today's encounter with the insect beast was also completely unexpected. Originally, according to his plan, he just wanted to get a few herbivores, but unexpectedly, he accidentally killed a giant locust from the side. If Tianxiang hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid he would have turned into a pile of bones in the mouth of a giant locust by now. Therefore, for Tianxiang's gratitude, involuntarily overflowing.
Tianxiang didn't say much, just smiled and slowly untied the strip of cloth wrapped around his wound. After carefully wiping it with water, he grabbed a handful from the warm embers by the fire and carefully sprinkled it on the wound that was obviously slightly swollen.
Fire ash can both stop bleeding and disinfect. This is one of the things he gained from the library.
Ye Zhanfeng didn't speak, just watched Tianxiang's movements with a little curiosity. It wasn't until he had finally completely bandaged the wound with a piece of clean cloth that he said, "Hehe! Do you also know the knowledge of the ancients? ”
Tianxiang was taken aback and hurriedly said, "What, do you also know the ancients?" ”
"Of course I do!" Ye Zhanfeng ostentatiously took out something from a tattered wooden box behind him and threw it to Tianxiang: "Huh! That's what it taught me! ”
This thing Tianxiang is not unfamiliar, on the contrary, it is quite familiar. It was a learning machine. Exactly like what he used before, it runs on solar energy.
"Where did you get this?" Tianxiang asked quietly.
"I don't know, it's always been here. It's been here for as long as I can remember! Ye Zhanfeng's face was full of honesty, and there was no trace of panic.
"So, you grew up here?" Tianxiang asked cautiously.
"yes!" Ye Zhanfeng sighed: "I grew up here, and my mother and father also died here. Hehe! How to put it, it's not good here, but it's always 。。。。。。 ”
"Do you have a book?" Tianxiang ignored his words and asked eagerly, "Do you have a book here?" The Book of Knowledge of the Ancients! ”
"Yes! Of course! Ye Zhanfeng looked at Tianxiang with some surprise, and subconsciously took out a stack of books that were already a little damaged from the broken box and handed it over: "What, do you want to read it?" ”
Tianxiang didn't answer, he snatched the books from Ye Zhanfeng's hand as if he was grabbing, and quickly flipped through them. It's just that the more he looks at it, the more shocking it becomes. Because these books are exactly the same as the ones he and his sister found in the crypt where they lived before.
It seems that the guy he inadvertently saved should also have an inextricable relationship with Base 2. Perhaps, like himself, he is also a "pathfinder" cultivated by the ancients.
Tianxiang didn't guess wrong, Ye Zhanfeng himself is also a "pathfinder" who was completely developed from an ancient embryo. It's just that the difference in chance didn't make him get an adventure like Tianxiang.
For a while, a very warm feeling suddenly rose in Tianxiang's heart. It is the intimacy of a lonely person finding his long-lost companion, and it is also a kind of attraction that only one of the same kind.
"Come with me!" Tianxiang stood up, packed up the things on the ground, and said simply: "You are too dangerous alone, I know that there is a place where it is safe." ”
"Even if you don't say that, I'll follow you!" Ye Zhanfeng's answer was obviously a big surprise: "Hehe! I don't know why, I just think that we should be friends and brothers. ”
For his answer, although Tianxiang was a little surprised, he was not surprised. He didn't know that when the "Pathfinder" genetic molecule was first set, geneticists used the same person's sperm as a medium, improved and assisted it, and then obtained the required genes. From this point of view, all the "pathfinders" who appeared in the same batch as Tianxiang should actually have the same bloodline. In layman's terms, the relationship between the "pathfinders" is actually brother and sister, but they themselves are not aware of this.
A few days later, two staggering figures appeared in Liu Rui's camp.
As with walking, the old man is still old, and the child is still young. It's just that when Tianxiang appeared, everyone's eyes invariably appeared with a sense of expectation and joy. Obviously, Old Man Liu Rui has already revealed the identity of the new leader to them.
"Have you decided?" In a low bungalow, sitting around a warm fire, the old man asked his question again meaningfully.
Tianxiang didn't speak, just nodded slightly. Pick up a piece of dry firewood and throw it into the burning fire. Under the eager gaze of several pairs of eyes around him, after a while, he finally said slowly: "How many people are there in the group now?" ”
"Together with the two of you, it's one hundred and twenty-six people in all." The old man happily touched the sparse beard on his chin: "It's just that most of them are old people and children. ”
(Khan!) The opinions put forward by the book friends are quite pertinent, and Lao Hei also found the problems. I'll definitely revise it! However, according to the original setting, there may be deviations. However, we hope that you will continue to support you! )
