Chapter 40: What Science Can't Explain

As the two men looked at each other for a moment, the beetle seemed to lose patience, and it lifted its compound limbs and moved towards Will. As soon as Beetle Sense lifted his leg, Will immediately caught the action, and without hesitation, he ran towards the massive stone pillar behind him.

This is the method he has obtained after a long period of analysis and judgment, and the beetle is not easy to climb according to its body structure. If you climb to the top of this stone pillar before this beetle attacks you, this beetle should have nothing to do with itself. Of course, it would be better if the beetle had just stopped by to observe itself out of curiosity about itself, and when it had taken a look at itself, it would have left on its own initiative.

This time, however, Will's judgment was a little off, and the beetle did not leave. And this beetle has a good climbing technique because it has a lot of strength in its compound limbs, and the tips of its compound limbs also have barbs. And this beetle loves some of the minerals in these rocks, and is very fast and skilled in climbing.

Will ran down the gravel slope scattered under the boulder pillar towards the boulder pillar, and when he looked back in the frenzy, he saw that the beetle covered in patterns did not immediately chase after it, it was just moving slowly towards this side, and Will couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.

When he ran to the huge stone pillar, he found that the surface of the huge stone pillar was pitted and covered with small scratches, and he felt a little strange at first. But now the delay is to run for your life, so I can't think about it so much, so I climb towards the boulder pillar.

These huge stone pillars are covered with tiny scratches everywhere, and in some places there are traces of falling off of various sizes. It felt like the pillars had been pinned out like this, and of course the more they were, the better it would be for Will to climb.

But when Will crawled for a while and looked back at the beetle, he suddenly felt a little desperate. The beetle climbed on the pillar at the same speed as on the ground, and its four compound limbs felt as if they were nailed to the pillar, making it effortless to climb.

At this moment, the beetle had already climbed three or four meters high, and it was only three or four meters away from Will.

Will felt that this was a bit unbelievable, and he couldn't be faster than this beetle now. Therefore, there is no point in using the method of climbing stone pillars to avoid beetle attacks.

In desperation, Will had to choose his own backup plan, which was too risky for him. If it is not in the end, he is not willing to choose this method, because once he does this, whether he can survive in the end can really only rely on luck.

Will sped up his climb and adjusted the angle between himself and the beetle. Try to keep yourself directly above the beetle, and Will is now directly above the beetle when the giant beetle is just over a meter away from him.

And at this moment, he and the beetle are eight or nine meters above the ground, and this height is the best choice for him now. Then, as the beetle approached, he chose the right time, kicked his legs on the pillar with both legs, and pushed his hands against the pillar and fell to the ground. This genius boy didn't want to choose himself, but hoped that gravity could help him solve the huge monster in front of him.

The moment he fell from the stone pillar, Will straightened his arms and turned his palms down into the shape of a half-hook.

The moment he slammed his feet onto the pillar and released his hands from the pillar, the giant beetle knew that the creature above him would fall from the pillar above him the next moment. The beetle, who didn't have time to dodge to the side, instinctively chose to tighten its compound limbs and keep itself close to the surface of the stone pillar, lest the falling creature from smashing itself down. Its choice was the most correct thing to do at that time, but all this had already been expected by that teenager~!

When Will fell above the giant beetle, his feet landed on the giant beetle's back, exactly as he had calculated, and the first step had been successfully achieved. But when his bare feet smashed against the smooth back shell of the giant beetle's body, the smooth back shell of the beetle had no point of borrowing at all. It's just that the beetle sank down violently under the impact of Will's heavy body, but because Will's feet were slipped away where there was no force, the beetle was not directly smashed down by Will.

The moment Will felt the beetle being stepped on by his own feet, and the beetle's back sank downward, Will knew that his plan was half successful. Because this kick led him to the conclusion that the environment and species can be different, but the way to deal with events that have evolved in the process of evolution is the same. Why are there the same causal methods of events, because the principles they follow in the process of evolution are still science.

On the road of evolution, after the beetle is attacked by a huge gravity on its back shell, the choice of coping method is not to directly bear or directly absorb this external force. Instead, they choose to use their own soft tissue cushion to remove this force. Because this can be more beneficial to avoid damage to its own body, the beetle's body also instinctively chooses to use this method to reduce its own impact and avoid being directly smashed down.

As the beetle's body cushioned and reduced the impact from Will, the shell on its back moved slightly down a few centimeters with the force of the impact. , and because of these few centimeters, there is a gap of a few centimeters between the carapace on the back and the carapace on the head.

Will's feet had slipped off the beetle's back at the moment, but his half-bent hands had already been made and grabbed the gap between the beetle's back and its head just as the beetle's back moved downward.

This series of actions takes place in a split second, and the time in the interval is not even a second. The seemingly miraculous movements seem so natural and coherent under the precise analysis and calculation.

Instead of being smashed off when Will's feet landed on his back, the giant beetle was slammed off the rock by Will when his hands were at the junction between his back and head.

If it hadn't been for Will's previous footsteps, perhaps this beetle would not have fallen off the rock if it was directly picked up by Will. Because his four compound limbs can firmly hook the rock, and the muscles at the junction of the joints and the back of the body can play a role in cushioning the force of the fall.

Unfortunately, however, he met Will, a genius boy, as Will had already calculated all the mechanical activities that his body could do, and used his gravity to perform this two-hit combo.

First, force the beetle's body to use its own tissue cushioning ability, and at the same time expose the gap between the carapace on its back and its head. By using this gap, he was able to firmly grasp the back shell of the beetle, and completely applied his gravity and impact potential energy to the beetle's body. The beetle, which had lost its ability to cushion tissues, was completely unable to withstand such a large impact under the second blow, and fell directly from the boulder pillar.

This is a textbook-perfect way to strike, allowing Will to find a trace of initiative in passivity.

There was very little that could be done by falling in the air eight or nine meters above the ground, so Will only needed to pull his finger out of the falling beetle's shell. Because if his hand is on the beetle, it is very likely that he will break his arm, although there are some gravel underneath the boulder pillars to cushion well. But the height of this nearly three stories is also a death or cripple.

According to Will's calculations, the weight of this beetle should not be much lighter than him because the back of the beetle is very heavy, but the body tissues of the beetle are relatively concentrated, so the beetle bears a greater impact than him. And because the beetle's brain is underneath the back carapace, the beetle will cause a concussion due to the impact no matter what angle it falls. If the abdomen falls directly to the ground, the relatively soft abdomen of the beetle will be damaged by the squeezing of the beetle's brain with the ground.

Of course, the damage that can be caused by landing in the air at a real height will be very large, and it can be as light as one or two bones. In severe cases, the spine is broken and he falls to death. As for the outcome, it is not up to him, a person who has never experienced jumping off a building, to judge.

And the worst result is that he was directly stoned to death by the beetle, of course, in order to avoid this kind of thing, he has already used the force of the rebound to shake his body to the side when he grabbed the beetle's back with both hands. However, because I don't spend a lot of time on physical exercise, the amplitude of shaking my body is not very large.

Will, who fell from the air to the ground, lamented that the knowledge he had learned was still not enough, after all, free fall and martial arts belonged to the category of science.

I only heard two knocks, and he and the beetle landed at the same time~!

Will, who landed on the ground, was lucky that he landed on his stomach. There were no big stones on the ground, only small broken stones. Even so, he felt pain all over his body, and the pain in his chest was intense, and he should have broken a few ribs.

Even more fortunate for the guy next to him, the guy landed directly on his back. There are also small stones under the beetle's quilt, and the beetle is smashed in the stone and faces the sky on its back.

Will, who was in severe pain all over his body, looked at the beetle beside him and felt incredible, the four compound limbs on the guy's abdomen and its pair of large pincers were tightly curled up in his abdomen. It feels like this guy contracted back into his limbs when he fell, which can not only protect his abdomen well, but also keep his limbs from hurting too much when he touches the ground.

Looking at the giant beetle, which knew how to retract its limbs as it fell in the air, Will let out a look of self-deprecation. Because he judged from this detail that this beetle or such beetles had often fallen from stone pillars before. They already have an instinctive way to deal with a fall from a height.

Thinking of this, Will felt that he should run away now, or before this beetle could react, he directly smashed the abdomen of the huge beetle and killed this guy.

It's just that Will just wanted to move his body when he felt a pain in his limbs, and this genius who had been in the laboratory for a long time obviously lacked physical exercise. It took a lot of effort to waste, and Will just turned over.

The huge beetle, which was facing the sky on its back and did not know whether it was alive or dead, began to wake up at this moment, and it first moved its limbs and then tried to turn itself over. It's just that this guy's current condition is not very good, and after trying a few times, he barely used his huge pliers to slowly turn his body over.

After Will heard the movement, he knew that the beetle had recovered, and he was a little helpless at the moment, so he could only close his eyes at the moment, forcibly adjust his breathing to prevent himself from being too nervous and scared, and chose to play dead without moving.

It's just that Will's self-deceptive method didn't help him much, and this huge beetle covered with dark red patterns was crawling towards Will little by little at the moment.

It's strange that the beetle didn't attack Will directly, as it seemed that the guy really thought that Will was lying on the ground and had fallen to his death.

In fact, it wasn't that the beetle didn't want to attack Will, but the beetle at this time was a little dizzy because of the fall from a high altitude, which caused its brain under the shell on its back. As Will had predicted, it was in a somewhat concussive state right now.

The dazed beetle crawled up to Will's head and looked at Will's body, as it had never seen a creature like Will before. So at the moment it's judging where Will's brain grows in the body, and its idea is simple. It is to tear open the body of the strange creature in front of him with his own pincers, take out its brain and eat it.

As the beetle crawled over Will's head, Will, who was extremely nervous and trying his best to think about how to solve the dilemma in front of him, suddenly felt an extremely strange fluctuation coming from the beetle's abdomen.

Will, who had already made up his mind to immediately burst out and attack the beetle's abdomen with a sharp stone that he was silently holding in his right hand, suddenly stopped what he was about to attack.

He felt the strange fluctuation at the same time as his brain jerked, and then he felt that his brain seemed to be pulled by the fluctuation and actually sent out an abnormal fluctuation. Then the two waves fused directly together, which frightened Will and the beetle, and the two guys immediately stopped their body movements because of the connection of the brain waves.

In fact, this fluctuation is just a strange detection wave that this beetle has, and of course the trigger point of this detection wave is his brain and nerves.

These beetles that live in the stone forest all year round do not make sounds, and the way they have chosen to communicate over the long course of evolution is this strange fluctuation. This fluctuation is a neural fluctuation that sits somewhere between sound waves and brain waves. It is a type of electrical signal wave produced by the brain controlling certain nerve endings in its body, or mental fluctuations are more accurate. These waves appear to these beetles, like sound waves, just for communication. They use this wave to convey simple messages such as the size of their territory and their own emotions.

Therefore, when the beetle first encountered Will, it sent out such fluctuations to warn and test the creatures in front of him, but what he didn't know was that Will could not accept and communicate the same fluctuations from a distance. Nor did it become agitated and panicked because of its fluctuating effects.

So after Will saw the beetle, they stared at each other for a long time, and the beetle didn't do anything, and the beetle didn't do anything at that time. Instead, they kept issuing warnings and threats, but Will didn't know it.

When the beetle's belly was above Will's head, the dizzy beetle emitted this brain wave again. Will's brain received this strange fluctuation, and not only that, but his brain actually emitted a similar fluctuation under the stimulation of this fluctuation.

Something even more amazing happened, the two fluctuations were actually linked.
