Chapter 2: Ashes
Although Wang Xing is determined to catch small animals, he really asks him to catch them, and it is impossible to catch whatever he wants.
Wang Xing's method is also very simple, that is, to make enough small traps, and use the food that looks like wild fruits and mushrooms to try to lure these little guys.
Because this is a deep space, maybe the food is useless, Wang Xing tried to put small stones, branches, branches, flowers and other things he saw into the trap.
Just like this, he circled around his stronghold all the way, and Wang Xing carefully placed various traps around him every short distance.
On the second and third days, Wang Xing spent the time in the process of making traps in a loop and returning to rest for the night.
With the passage of time, as Wang Xing had speculated before, it was not that he had not eaten or drunk, but that he lacked some special energy in his body, and his body was shrinking and weakening from the inside out, which made Wang Xing's spirit worse and worse.
When he first arrived, Wang Xing was full of energy, even if he was busy all day, he was fine.
But after waking up on the third day, Wang Xing was weak, and even obviously found that his body was directly smaller, the clothes on his body were a lot looser, and the whole person seemed to shrink.
went to the side of the pond to take a picture of his current appearance, and Wang Xing found that his body had really shrunk.
When such a bad situation appeared, Wang Xing's heart also became impatient. It's one thing to anticipate it, but it's another thing to fix it.
"Even if I was full of energy when I first came, I couldn't touch a living creature after walking for a long time, and now I'm so weak, even if I really do, I can't help it."
Wang Xing did not rush out desperately to find a possibility because the situation was urgent.
"I'm waiting for a day, if it doesn't work today, I'll do it tomorrow."
Wang Xing also had other plans in mind to try. If you can't find a small animal today, then bleed yourself, try to attract a slightly larger one, and at the same time try to eat those wild fruits and fungi that you don't know if they are poisonous or not, whether you can replenish your physical energy.
Wang Xing was thinking about looking for the small traps around him.
Suddenly, the sound and movement of the struggle made Wang Xing's heart beat violently.
"Is it ......?"
Wang Xing slowed his steps, holding the sharpened wooden spear tightly in his hand, and quietly passed through the grass that was deliberately left for small animals to pass through.
The movement not far away became louder and louder, and he used a wooden spear to quietly pick open the surrounding grass, and finally, in a small trap not far away, he really caught a strange little animal the size of a palm!
The creature that was pierced through half of its body had a tail that looked like a squirrel's tail dragging behind it, but the sides of the two palm-length bodies had six human legs folded backwards, and the skull had no mouth, only three red pupils in the shape of a fret.
Wang Xing slowed down as much as he could, but as he got closer, the movement still attracted the small animal.
Seeing the danger approaching, the small animal's struggle became more intense.
Wang Xing approached the right position, rushed over, and pressed the small animal under him.
"It's not a lot of strength, but what attracted you kid."
Wang Xing pressed this thing hard with both hands, and after his strength was weakened at this time, it was probably three percent greater than the strength of ordinary adults, but even so, holding down a small thing two palms long, the strength of his whole body was still a little unbearable.
Fortunately, the little thing struggled, and was twisted by Wang Xing's palm, plus the knee impact, I don't know if it hit the vital point, or used up its strength, the little animal gradually stopped struggling.
Wang Xing also managed to see a small blue walnut-sized stone that he had picked up from the shore pressed under the little animal.
"Huh. This thing, which wasn't big with a fist before, is actually so much smaller. ”
Wang Xing instantly realized that this blue stone was the key to attracting small animals. He had just tried it, but he didn't expect it to be successful.
When Wang Xing observed the stone under the small animal, he also clearly noticed that the stone that was the size of a fist before had become the size of a walnut at this time, but it still did not stop dissipating into the city.
Even though the body of the small animal is lifted from the stone, dust like smoke floats on the surface of the small stone and gradually flies towards the small animal.
"I can't continue to absorb it, it's time for me to see if I can absorb you."
Wang Xing pressed the small animal with his knees, took the stone hammer from his waist, and smashed it on the small animal's head.
Bang Bang twice, the little animal's body twitched a few times, and it lost its movement.
Wang Xing did not move his knees, but directly stabbed the small animal into the neck with a sharp stone dagger, and suddenly the small animal burst out with the most powerful resistance force, obviously just now it was either just unconscious and now it was stimulated, or it was killed.
In any case, after Wang Xing's dagger, he completely lost his movement.
Wang Xing was about to grab the small animal and go to the barbecue to see if he could eat it to restore the missing energy in his body.
But at this time, Wang Xing found that the corpse that should not dissipate in the deep space was slowly shattered at this time. The flesh and blood muscles that were formed into the bodies of small animals were like air-dried clods of earth, shattering and dissipating.
"This!"
Wang Xing's heart jumped, and the uneasiness just came to his heart, but he felt a burning sensation coming from the knee that pressed the little animal.
Wang Xing jumped up suddenly, and after the body of the dead critter was shattered in large quantities, a large amount of dusty powder flew to Wang Xing's body.
The dust ignored Wang Xing's clothes and quickly stuck to Wang Xing's body, but whenever it was touched, there was a hot feeling.
But what followed was the feeling of fullness that only occurred when you were full of food and drink.
The feeling of weakness that came from Wang Xing's body before quickly recovered at this time.
Soon, the corpse of the strange little animal in front of him was completely shattered and dissipated, leaving only a small lens the size of gravel.
Wang Xing lifted his clothes, and the hot part that was touched by the dust just now, there was no trace, if it wasn't for the recovery of physical strength and mental strength at this time, Wang Xing thought it was an illusion just now.
"I didn't expect that you don't have to eat it, you can get physical replenishment by killing it directly."
Wang Xing squatted on the ground and picked up the conspicuous lens left by the small animal after it died, this thing had no problem touching it with his hand, and it did not absorb it.
I pinched it hard, and the crystals didn't break.
Wang Xing picked up the blue stone that had been absorbed by the small animal again, and he clenched it with the palm of his hand, without feeling the absorption.
"It seems that different creatures are attracted to different materials, and I can directly replenish them by killing small animals."
Wang Xing could feel that most of the physical energy he had lost at this time had been replenished.
Holding this blue stone in your hand and looking at it, the stone looks as if it has been dried for thousands of years, and there are a lot of holes on the surface.
"There are many more by this stone river, give them all a try."
