Chapter 41 The Encounter of Brain Waves, the Connection of Spiritual Consciousness
At the moment when Will and the giant beetle's mental fluctuations were connected, Will's consciousness and the giant beetle's consciousness were connected.
Something that can't be explained with science happens, and Will finds himself seemingly transformed into a beetle.
The beetle was only the size of an egg, and there were many of them around it. It's about a dozen.
The beetles were all black, huddled together and lying quietly in a stone hole, and they were one of them.
Will then tried to move his body but didn't seem to have any reaction, and after trying for a while and still didn't respond, Will gave up for the time being. Because he found that his gaze was not self-determined, as if he were watching someone else's experience like an audience watching a holographic movie.
After discovering this secret, Will suddenly found that the scene in front of him was changing rapidly, and all kinds of feelings were surging like a tide as the scene changed.
At first, most of the large beetles that slept like the mother of the little beetle brought water or food, but when this cycle grows as the bodies of the small beetles grow, the hole is a little too much to accommodate the beetles.
Suddenly, one day, the beetle that had been bringing water and food did not reappear, and when he arrived, Will felt that the holographic memory picture had slowed down.
Will guessed that the deeper the memory, the faster the memories he experienced, the more diffuse the memories he experienced.
Slowly, as night fell, the sky began to get dark, only this time the big beetle didn't come back and plug the hole with its own back armor.
Will, who had been a little confused by the beetle's behavior, knew why the beetle needed to plug the hole with its own back armor.
Because of the wind, the faint wind.
A faint wind blew slowly, and I saw that the little beetles in the cave began to fly apart when some of the wind blew through the hole.
It gave Will an extremely strange feeling, and Will didn't know if it was because of the beetle's emotional influence, or because of his own true feelings, a great fear hit him.
A gust of wind so faint can actually kill these hard insects~!
After the breeze killed a few small beetles at the entrance of the cave, the beetles approaching the cave seemed to have received some kind of command. They began to dig frantically into the ground beneath them.
Instinctive consciousness tells them if they don't dig a small hole in the rock beneath them when the gust of wind blows to them. Then what awaits them is the same fate as the beetles before them.
The joints of the whole body are cut open by the faint wind, and they become parts of the ground.
Through this beetle, Will first realizes the horror of the night breeze. Luckily, Will's conscious beetle managed to dig a shallow hole in the rock in the ground when the wind blew in front of him. The crater was really small, barely enough to fit the belly and limbs of the small fist-sized beetle into it, but it was enough. At this moment, the stone cave is densely inlaid with beetle back beetles.
The fate of beetles that have not yet found a suitable place or has not been able to find enough to dig a place for themselves can be imagined. The next morning, when the light returned to the cave, the breeze cleared. The interior of the cavern was littered with empty shells, and the flesh of the dead little beetles was long gone. And these empty shells are proof that they once existed.
Seeing this, Will once again refreshed his understanding of those winds, which were as terrifying as the devil.
Little by little, the picture begins to accelerate, leaving the original cave and looking for a new place to live. Carefully search for food and water in the vast stone forest. Little by little, the little beetle grew until one day he felt some itching and stinging in his carapace.
Instinct told it that it needed something else instead of food, and it didn't know what it was, but when it searched aimlessly, it finally found what it needed under a huge stone pillar. A dark red stone.
The little beetle began to crush the stones with its sharp jaws, looking for some of the black parts inside and eating them close to its stomach. Iron ore, it is eating iron ore~!When it has consumed a certain amount of iron ore, it returns to its stone cave. Then it underwent its first shelling.
The beetle that has undergone its first shell has grown larger and has a darker, harder back carapace, and it has acquired a natural ability.
It uses and emits mental fluctuations, and when he feels the mental fluctuations from the surrounding ones, it realizes that there are many beetles like it in its vicinity. Beetles, large and small, have compiled a network of spirits with spiritual fluctuations in this stone forest.
Then it sensed a message from another beetle in the vicinity, a provocation from the nearest small beetle. As if swearing sovereignty here, the little beetle was enraged. The two beetles were brought together under the guidance of mental fluctuations, and a battle broke out between them.
The little beetle wins, and the winner's reward is the opponent's brain and flesh and blood.
In this way, the beetle began its life in this stone forest, looking for food to hide from the wind, retreating its carapace to become stronger, and meeting the challenges of its opponents to obtain their brains. And so the days passed.
Until one day, the greatest mission of life begins to usher in~!that is, to reproduce~!
But when faced with the task of reproducing, it was not as lucky as before, because it lost the competition for mates. It did not die after it should have died in defeat, because it chose to flee instead of fighting to the death after losing to its opponent. The opponent watched his spouse tightly out of need, and did not give it a painful killer to keep chasing.
The little beetle running away in a panic, oh ~ Yes, it should be called a giant beetle at this time. He's the size of a basketball.
The giant beetle that chooses to flee loses its right to reproduce, and at the same time loses its territory. It can only choose to wander, but some of the stone forests already have their own owners. After a long time, the wandering giant beetle came to a strange stone forest, which was no different from the rest of the place. But under the stone forest here, there is a fiery power. It is precisely because of this fiery force that the beetles here need more water to maintain their normal activities. How could the stone forest, which was already short of water, have more water to provide drinking water for these beetles, so the number of beetles here is very small.
The giant beetle settled here, and he made a hole under a stone pillar and began to live here. The living environment here is very difficult, because of the lack of water and food, he has to go hungry for three days. As a result, it began to shed very slowly, and it was not until much later that it began to show signs of shedding again.
It took a great deal of effort to find a rock containing iron ore, but it was not on a pillar. Instead, it branched out on the ground, and in desperation it had to start digging underneath the ground.
It was easy at first, but it became more and more strenuous. Everything changed until it dug out some small dark red stones that glowed red, and the guy, who didn't want to waste the rare iron ore, swallowed the reddish-glowing dark red stones attached to the iron ore into his belly.
When it swallowed enough iron ore and a large amount of dark red stone, it returned to the cavern and began to shed its shell, but this time it was noticeably different from the previous one.
Its body began to heat up as it itched and ached, and the receding carapace was supposed to be replaced by a new one soon. But this time, instead of immediately growing a hard carapace, his body continued to heat up and become hot like fire.
The brain began to become confused in a boiling heat, and the beetle fainted to death, and when it woke up from thirst, it was already evening. Looking at the sky that was about to turn completely into night, the beetle was startled.
The frightened giant beetle instinctively blocked the hole with its own back armor, but when its back armor blocked the hole entrance, its body rolled out of the hole.
Although he managed to have a new carapace, he was much smaller in size. Looking at his smaller body, the beetle felt incredible. The carapace of the body has become thinner, and the dark red lines on it look a little strange.
The beetle, which didn't have time to think too much, ignored it for now, and quickly picked a spot and began digging a burrow.
The beetle continued to live a hard life for a long time afterward, until another wandering beetle passed through its territory.
A stray beetle passes through its territory and is spotted by a beetle, which is now covered in patterns, and warns. As a result, there was a conflict between the two beetles, and the wandering beetle took the initiative to attack after discovering that the giant beetle covered in patterns was significantly smaller than itself.
Needless to say, the result is a thousand miles away. But in this battle, the giant beetle not only harvested the brains and precious flesh of his enemies, but also discovered that his pincers could emit fiery sparks when they collided with each other or hit their opponents. And obviously his body is smaller, but his speed, strength and carapace hardness are higher.
Of course, Will also discovered this and in his eyes it was not only so simple, but in his opinion it was very unscientific. Because this beetle seems to be able to use magic~!Now Will can't explain why a creature can evaluate its own carapace to create sparks to attack opponents, which is very unscientific.
With full of questions, Will continues to observe the experience of this beetle~!
After that, this beetle discovered a way to get more food, and that is to hunt its own kind~!
A long time has passed in the blink of an eye, and this time is the hardest for Will to bear. Because when communicating with the spiritual bridge, this beetle has experienced not only pictures, but also other sensory feelings. For example, the pain caused by an opponent's attack during a battle.
When Will was overwhelmed by the pain of the continuous battle, the beetle finally ushered in another retreat.
This time, the beetle took the initiative to find the dark red stone, and devoured many of it along with the iron ore, and only stopped when the stone and the iron ore were almost bursting its stomach.
This time the beetle seems to be very abrupt, but it also has its own considerations, and it is not short of food and water now. Now that it has enough nutrients in its body, it aspires to become stronger. So it devoured a lot of that ore.
