Chapter 1 Foraging
Xiaowu climbed up the wall, and there were more and more fiery red unknown lifeforms on the road that looked like Xiaowu. Because this unknown creature is fiery red all over, about 1 meter tall, and has six bayonet-like feet, we collectively refer to it as the red thorn worm. Xiaowu climbed to the mouth of a hole in the nest, and was about to get out of the hole, a thick long beard blocked the way, only to see that the comer was three times larger than himself, and the whole body was purple-red, if you compare it with the earth of outer life, then it is simply like a large spider, the only difference is that its upper jaw is developed, and it has long, thick tentacles!
Xiaowu understood in the command of his mind just now that the red thorn worm that goes out is connected with each other through smell and sight! When the red thorn insect that goes out forages for a certain amount of food, it will follow the smell left by itself to find its way home! Because the red thorn worm's sense of smell is quite sensitive, there will always be some smell left in the place where they pass, and if the smell fades on a rainy day, there will be a very bloody scene, a red thorn insect stands by a tree, dripping and leaving some liquid! This is the liquid that Dawn left behind at the mouth of the cave!
Xiaowu rested for a while, and then looked up and down at the forest in front of him, this forest should have been here for a certain number of years, because the surface of the forest was covered with rotten leaves, densely packed with various shapes, emitting a strange musty smell. The depths of the forest were pitch black and exuded terror. Xiaowu was puzzled why the leaves had such a musty smell, and after thinking about it for a long time, the small triangular head hurt a little, so he didn't want to. Originally, according to Xiaowu's timid character, he would not enter the unknown dark jungle, but the command of the heart sounded again, which probably meant that the food found 500 meters in the northwest jungle was a living scavenging armor, and all the red thorn insects in the jungle rushed there to kill it and bring it back! After the order stopped, Xiaowu snorted disdainfully: "The ghost only listens to you, who knows if the scavenging armor is strong or not, and it is not good to lose his own life." "The letter I saw in the birthplace of the cave, although I didn't understand what it meant, I understood at least a little. He is not the life of this lair, he should be an outer creature, and he was caught here by the master of the faith to inherit his Dao lineage! As for the evidence, it is that he has an independent mind, and he can defy the voice of the heart! Therefore, Xiaowu went the opposite way and walked in the southwest direction!
Xiaowu, who was relieved by his life-saving wisdom, had not left for long before he felt uneasy! The surroundings became more and more cloudy, and Xiaowu's legs shook unconsciously. He stopped and thought: If I go in this direction, what if I run into another scavenging worm! I remember that the person who gave the order said that all the worms should pass, so how powerful the worm is! The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he changed his mind, so it was better to go to the northwest to have a look, first, he had his companions to protect him, and second, he would not participate in the battle, and when the battle was over, he would have participated in the removal of the corpses! Just as he was about to turn around, the ground suddenly shook strongly! Out of the soil came a 1.5-meter-tall, 5-meter-long, powerful thighs with strong limbs and scales all over its body, and it was staring at Xiaowu with that dark blue gaze, as if Xiaowu was already its private prey! Xiaowu immediately collapsed to the ground, looking at the monster helplessly! The monster had a wolf-like head, and was opening its bloody mouth, revealing teeth like an enlarged version of a saw, and the two giant teeth on the upper jaw were particularly slender and sharp, and the lower jaw was faintly retained! The monster seemed surprised to see the way Satoru behaved, and it slowly approached Satoru with a slow step of death. Xiaowu was already scared to the limit, and he felt like his whole body didn't obey orders! I couldn't move! When the monster was halfway there, a cluster of red liquid sprayed on the monster's back, and the monster turned its head to see that it was a red thorn insect that was viciously attacking itself!
The pain in its back enraged the monster, and it immediately turned and rushed towards the red thorn worm, knocking down many trees on the way without realizing it. Seeing the monster running towards the red thorn worm, Xiaowu's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he stretched out his front legs like bayonets and unconsciously prepared to carry the dirt around him. Just as his front legs began to move, Xiaowu was very happy, because he could move! I don't know where the strength came from this time, Xiaowu turned around and ran faster than the monster, rushing forward without looking back, until he touched another red thorn insect and slowly stopped, silently praying for the red thorn that had just saved his life.
After the catastrophe, the rest of his life rushed to the place where the scavenger was found with the red stinging insect he encountered, the scavenging insect had not fallen, but the whole body was covered with a fiery red liquid, the liquid was highly corrosive, and it could be seen that the hard carapace on the back of the scavenger was no longer there, and instead the green internal organs were mixed with the red corrosive liquid.
The battle continued, and the red stinging insects that arrived later all participated in the battle, and the scavenging insects were already at the end of their crossbows! The scavenging insects roared hard, and the two giant jaws at the front of its body were strong and powerful, and finally hung down weakly after tearing a red stinging insect, and the entire body of more than 6 meters long fell heavily to the ground. The scavenger kept shaking and trying to stand up, but was powerless. The Red Thorn Worm, which was the victorious side, did not rush over immediately, but continued to spray the red strong corrosive liquid in its mouth at the scavenging insect.
After Xiaowu saw that the red stinger insect would spray red corrosive liquid, he also tried to squirt the liquid from his own insect mouth, but the dog blood found that the only thing he could squirt out was indeed white saliva that was completely non-corrosive, and he could accidentally spray it on his front legs every time!
So, on the periphery of the battlefield, a strange red thorn worm appeared, it kept stretching out one of its front legs and dancing towards the sky, and its mouth kept screaming, if another insect approached, it would be clear that the red thorn worm was crazy, because it was insulting the injustice of God! Why didn't he have this skill?
With the last miserable hiss, the scavenging insect stopped moving! The red stinging insect also stopped spraying! They all walked towards the scavenging insect, and Xiaowu also came out of an inconspicuous corner and walked towards the scavenging insect, when he stepped on the corpse of a red stinging insect, the red stinging insect immediately turned over and stood up like a corpse, which frightened Xiaowu! Xiaowu sat on the ground very habitually, with his legs on his legs, and moved backwards. The red thorn worm, seeing Xiaowu's frightened realization, was embarrassed to say to Xiaowu in Chinese: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!"
Although he is not very fluent, he can still speak it completely. Seeing Xiaowu staring at himself intently, the red thorn insect was obviously surprised! Changed his mind again, and at this time, a very fluent sentence suddenly appeared in Xiaowu's heart: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!"
After saying this, the red thorn worm, who originally wanted to turn around and leave, suddenly heard a fluent sentence in Chinese: "You can speak!"
The red thorn worm was excited, and immediately raised his front legs and hugged Xiaowu.
It turns out that this red thorn worm is born to speak and has a mind of its own! Like Enlightenment, it was sent out of its nest to find food as soon as it was born. In order to avoid danger and make prey easier to catch, it often wants to act with other red thorn bugs. But when it communicates with the other redthorns, it finds that the other redthorns have no mind at all, and only instinctively carry out the orders of the king of insects (i.e., the master of the voice of the heart)! After encountering many insects of the same kind, it is disappointed and feels that it is an alternative. The loneliness grew, and later it even felt frightened, because it had received an order to destroy some of the aliens like himself. Scared, completely scared! So from then on I never dared to go back to the nest. In order to survive, it often hunts behind another red thorn worm, steals its prey, hides and pretends to be dead when it encounters danger! This scavenger is what he found with another scavenging insect! The information is also reported by it running back with the usual means of communication! In order not to make the insect king suspicious, it has not returned to the nest for a long time! This time it pretended to be dead as usual, but it was trampled on by Xiaowu, and when it heard Xiaowu's reply, it was very happy, and the loneliness that had been silent for a long time was suddenly swept away, and then this series of things happened!
Xiao Wu knew that he was not a creature of this world in the first place, and there was not a single insect to talk to him, and he did not dare to talk to the insects! Speaking of aliens, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the other! I see that I have a home, but I dare not go home; there are red thorn insects of the same kind, which are indeed regarded as aliens, and Xiao Wu fell into deep thought. Am I not like this red thorn worm, if I am discovered by the insect king, I will definitely be more severely wanted! Speaking of home, I don't even know how to get home! Relatives, I am afraid that in this world, I am my own relatives!
After hugging it for a long time, Xiaowu let go of its two front legs and asked, "Do you have a name?"
It shook its head and said very unfluently, "Since I was born, I have lived alone and have not given myself a name. Why don't you call me one?"
Xiaowu thought about it for a long time and didn't have a good name, so he said jokingly: "Seeing that you are so smart, you might as well call it Ergouzi!"
Xiaowu laughed as he spoke, thinking that it would object. Unexpectedly, it laughed happily: "I have a name, I have a name!"
Xiaowu suddenly messed up in the wind!
Ever since Xiaowu knew Ergouzi, Ergouzi has followed Xiaowu and never left! According to Ergouzi, Xiaowu is Ergouzi's only relative, and he will not leave him even if he dies!
Because Xiaowu felt that it was not safe outside, he decided to take this opportunity to return to the nest. The second dog followed Ding Xiaowu, so the two joined the team to transport scavengers!
