Chapter 372: A Way to Defeat Fear
Scotti is an extremely intelligent person.
After being broken by the song of words, she immediately realized ...... Why is she afraid of white-streaked millipedes?
She's afraid, she's afraid, but she shouldn't be afraid, she shouldn't be afraid.
She is on a transcendent path, and she is destined to deal with all sorts of ugly, bizarre, crazy, and twisted things in the future.
She shouldn't have left obvious weaknesses on her body, especially with such a ridiculous flaw as "fear of multi-legged arthropods".
It was enough for her to be in awe of what was qualified to hurt her.
The white-veined millipede emerged from the hollow of the tree again, this time aiming at her back.
This position is not only a blind spot for Scotty's perspective, but also the most difficult position for her hands to reach.
But as if she had eyes behind her, she suddenly took a step forward and dodged between the flint and lightning.
And when she turned around, the white-striped millipede that had failed in the sneak attack had shrunk back again.
It is extremely vicious and extremely cautious, and usually leaves after a miss, looking for the next chance to sneak up.
Scotti looked at the hole in the tree that had been dug by the white-striped millipede.
The hole is the size of a millipede, and the edges are smooth, as if it had been drilled out by a spiral-shaped drill knife.
Obviously, it is able to burrow quickly, not by relying on the extraordinary ability of specialized routes such as "digging caves", but by relying on two powerful large teeth supplemented by a rotating posture movement, moving in a purely physical form in the forest.
Most supernatural beings without intelligence evolve on instinct, and it is difficult for them to conceive complex supernatural abilities in their limited minds.
And the way of locomotion like the white-veined millipede ...... It can't be that there is no movement.
Scotti closed her eyes.
She's trying to catch the sound of the white-veined millipede moving in the heart of the tree and underground.
It wasn't easy for her, an untrained person, because the jungle was filled with the rustle of leaves, the flight of birds, and the chirping of insects...... Every sound, distant or near, could interfere with her judgment.
So she closed her eyes and compensated her vision with hearing, concentrating all her attention on trying to distinguish the sound she wanted.
And at the same time she did something else.
She began to walk in a peculiar rhythmic pace.
Take one step, take two steps back, jump two more steps to the left with one foot, turn around, and make a half-circle on the ground with your toes......
Yan Luge looked at her slightly strange behavior and smiled slightly.
He guessed what Scotty meant—she wasn't just trying to catch the location of the millipede, she was trying to trick it.
The millipede does not have special sentient abilities, and after burrowing into the ground, it cannot see the location and behavior of its prey, and can only rely on sound and vibration to judge.
On several occasions, it was able to pinpoint Scorty's blind spot to sneak up on the hunter because the hunter was shrewd and cunning, and had a lot of experience sneaking up on large animals and succeeding repeatedly.
But Scotti is trying to deceive it.
Her movements of jumping back and forth and tapping the ground will make it impossible to determine the exact location of its prey.
She makes a half-circle on her toes, making it difficult to distinguish between the front and back of her prey.
This made Yan Luge slightly surprised—because this was not the coping method recorded in the "Atlas of Extraordinary Creatures", but the idea of Shi Curti on the spot.
When Scotti stood an arm's length away from a tree facing a large tree, the millipede in the ground thought she was leaning her back against the tree, close to its trunk.
This is a very good sneak attack opportunity for it.
Without hesitation, the white-striped millipede burrowed into the heart of the tree and attacked Skoti's "back".
And Scotti also raised the short knife in his hand at this moment.
When the white-veined millipede broke out of the tree, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the short knife in her hand fell.
With extreme precision, she cut off its freshly poked head.
The head of the worm with two large teeth fell to the ground, opening and closing its mouth in pain, while the body of the worm, which had been greatly stimulated, was still not dead, and struggled back into the hole in the tree.
- Very good, I was not covered by this big bug, nor was I splashed with worm juice by two big bugs.
Scotti was pleased with her results.
It doesn't matter if it's scared or not, but the disgust is real. She didn't really want to be up close and personal with this kind of thing.
She put away her dagger and smiled at Yan Yuge, as if to say, I'm sorry that I didn't fulfill your wish.
Yan Luge regretted slightly—he couldn't capture the photo he wanted.
But that's okay......
"Well done, little poem." He laughed, "Maybe you didn't even notice it yourself, but you actually have a good talent for fighting."
"It used to be useless in its environment, but now, it's slowly awakening."
……
A few minutes later, the two of them crouched in front of the dry and transparent slime mold, and Yan Luge waved his tentacles into an afterimage, quickly cutting through the cotton-wool-like fungus.
"I don't think those multi-legged arthropods seem to be so scary." "Nothing beats fear like killing it itself." ”
"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's your own hypocrisy." Yan Luge said casually, "Maybe I can't blame you completely, you are not the only one I've seen who is afraid of insects."
"The people of this era are too well protected and too little informed, and this is the average giant baby.
"I don't believe that growing up in a family of snake catchers, children who skin snakes every day are afraid of snakes; I also don't believe that children who grew up in a cult family and played with Ke always every day would be afraid of tentacle monsters. ”
This is a parable...... The corners of Sycoti's mouth twitched, ignoring even the other party's unceremonious face-riding taunt.
The former one is normal, the latter ...... Are you talking about yourself?
Wait, in this way, Yan Rong, the former acting chairman of Cornerstone Technology Group, won't really have any petty love such as sacrificing evil gods? This is the only way to cultivate such an aesthetic and chic son?
Shi Curti looked at the undisguised scarlet tentacles behind the song and fell into a mysterious silence.
Yan Rong Feng commented on the .jpg of the victims
Without consciously cutting open the cotton wool-like pipe network on the surface of the transparent slime fungus, he pulled out something like bread.
"Here, clear slime stem." Yanluge handed the cut out thing to Shi Curti, and then dissected it attentively.
Scotti took it and spun it around in his hand.
The texture is fluffy and looks like pine nut bread; The aroma is strong and it smells like pine nut bread.
She took a bite.
The taste is sweet, but not greasy, and it tastes more like brioche bread, and even has delicate and delicious pine nuts.
Good, delicious.
It's better than the 105-point rainbow mushroom poisoned piglet and animal ribs! It is more delicious than the coconut water drenched emperor beetle claw meat of 110 points!
This transparent slime stalk that has been drained by the striated millipede can have at least 115 points!
Best of all, it's sweet!
It avoids the curse of "eating sugar to salt" and gives her a taste of natural and pure sweetness!
