Section 5 Power
"You can't run, you can't run now. Running is like exposing your entire back to the sharp teeth of the insect beast. The result of this is that when I'm exhausted, the insect beast that catches up easily bit my neck from behind. Instead of dying like this, it's better to fight it with it."
This is the only thought in Tianxiang's mind now.
The insects are very powerful, but they also have weaknesses. Generally speaking, under the hard and smooth keratinous shell in the middle of their eyes, there will be a ball of white viscous liquid. This is where the central nerve and brain of the insects are. As long as it can be pierced through, no matter how powerful the insects are, they can only accept the summons of death obediently. This is the key to the insects and beasts.
Like all living things, the constantly evolving insects and beasts did not relax at all to strengthen their weaknesses. A piece of innate hard armor is the best protection for the key points. Although the target insects and beasts are still a distance between themselves, Tianxiang still clearly saw that this big guy covered with thick shells, only the black spot between his eyes is the smoothest. According to his years of hunting experience, the smoother the horny shell like this, the harder it is as hard as a stone, and it is difficult to penetrate.
The more dangerous the place, the safer it is, and the reason is that.
Tianxiang stared at the huge insect beast that was moving forward quickly with six thick legs. His eyes, which were bloodshot because of tension, were almost glaring out of his eyes. He was observing, calculating, looking for every weakness and every flaw in the insect beast's marching. The warm sweat had already soaked the thick coat on his body. His powerful right hand also tightly held the only available weapon around him - the steel spear. As for the sharp carry-on knife, it had no effect in the face of such a powerful giant beast.
The rushing insect beast was getting closer and closer, and in just over a dozen seconds, it had already rushed to less than fifty meters away from the library gate. Tianxiang, with excellent eyesight, could even clearly see the image reflected on it from the reflection of the two huge compound eyes on his head.
Tianxiang did not move, he was waiting for the only chance that he could hit with one blow. He knew very well that he had no second choice. There was only one steel spear, and once it was thrown, he would never have a chance to get it back. The only fate of the hunter who had lost his weapon was death and became a delicious meal in the mouth of the prey. Therefore, he had to seize the only chance with a very slim and a very high chance of winning.
The insect beast is still running. I am afraid it is unknown what Tianxiang, who is already regarded as a prey, has any thoughts. Capture more prey and add more weight to his evolutionary path. This is the only rule that all creatures on the earth must abide by. Even if you don’t want to die or want to die, in front of a higher species that is several times or even dozens of times stronger than you, you can only kill him with a good neck. However, what makes the excited insect beast quite puzzled is that this little thing in front of you, who is obviously weaker than you, will still be unmoved in front of you in front of you with a powerful aura. What exactly does he want to do?
"Swoosh!" As an object emitting green light under the reflection of the phosphorus fire, a sound that cuts through the air also came out less than ten meters away from Tianxiang. This was the steel spear that he threw with all his strength, and it was also the only opportunity at present. When he seized the best time, he suddenly threw out the hope with a death threat.
"Webweb!" The sound of a hard object piercing the soft body came from the place where the green light disappeared. Tianxiang saw disappointedly that the steel spear he threw was stably inserted into the huge bulge of the left compound eyes of the insect beast. The scene was like an apple with a smooth surface, and a sharp fruit knife was inserted into the hardened apple.
"Ao--" The rushing insect beast suddenly made a slump, but it was extremely terrifying cry. A green viscous liquid followed the edge of its big mouth tightly wrapped by two hard armored zippers, slowly hanging on the ground like a thick silk thread of green fluorescent on the ground. Together with the same liquid flowing from the wounded area of the eyes, under the desperate absorption of the dry sand, it quickly condensed into a wet mud.
Tianxiang had already left his position. Now he had only one thought in his mind: "Escape, escape, escape to this terrible insect beast that could not reach." He had passed by the only chance to win just now. The steel spear was not sharp, the strength and speed were not bad. As for the accurate head, it was even more unspeakable. A small white wound that could be seen slightly on the black armor between the insect beast's eyes had already shown that the steel spear touched first was exactly where it was. However, it was too hard, and the smooth, round and convex surface also made the spear tip unable to penetrate it smoothly. In the end, it could only deviate from its own direction of movement under the action of huge inertia and penetrated into the insect beast's left eye.
What kind of insects are the most terrifying? They are not those huge swarms of insects, nor are they carnivorous insects who are destined to die when they see the corpse. They are the kind of insects that are already injured but are not at risk of their lives. These insects have a strong revenge mentality. Once they are injured, they will never give up until they fight to the death. Even ordinary insects are like this, and as for insects and beasts, it is naturally not to mention them.
The injured insect beast whose left eye was completely wrapped in green liquid, turned around after a few seconds of wailing and chased him frantically in the direction of Tianxiang's escape. Compared with the speed of the injured insect beast just now, the speed of the wounded insect beast was nearly twice as strong. The sharp steel spear tightly inserted into its left eye was like a road sign standing in a huge eye frame, pointing out the direction for the angry Avengers to move forward.
Tianxiang did not look back, and he did not dare to look back at all. At such a critical moment of life and death, any extra movement will lead to his own death. It is useless to look back. Perhaps just because of this looking back to satisfy his curiosity, the pace under his feet will be hindered. The small stones and broken bricks on the ground will become the biggest accomplices of the insect beast when your eyes cannot take care of it. What's more, when you run out of exhaustion, suddenly looking back may be frightened by the insect beast's extremely fearful and terrifying monster face, and suddenly lose all your strength. You can only stand in place and wait for the hard armor on the mouth of the huge insect in despair, and chop your body into two sections from the middle.
Tianxiang was running. He was very agile and he was very flexible in searching for all the refuges in the gaps between the ruins that seemed to be able to successfully avoid the attacks of insects and beasts. At the same time, he also successfully entered a low corner separated by the wreckage of large reinforced concrete. The insects and beasts could not enter at all. But just when he was somewhat relieved and thought he had escaped from the sky, he found that this big guy who was extremely angry was like a prehistoric monster with endless power. Relying on the thick horny armor covered with his body, he bent the steel bars and knocked away the cement. The narrow nest that he once thought was quite safe also instantly turned into a gravel pit covered by the dark sky. So, the game of running and chasing was once again staged between humans and beasts.
In fact, Tianxiang was able to survive smoothly until now, relying on the help of his flexible and complex terrain. If he was on a straight road, at most, the rapidly moving insect beast would catch up with him in just a few minutes, and bit off the neck of the guy who dared to stab his eyes. However, Tianxiang's consecutive sharp turns and running routes that specifically picked the hidden ruins also made the insect beast's speed fall behind. And he had to fight the hateful gravel bricks to kill the target hidden inside again.
Although this pursuit seems to have the upper hand, and if this continues, insects and beasts can't do anything to the flexible Tianxiang. However, the huge endurance difference between the two has determined the outcome of the death pursuit from the beginning.
Tianxiang felt that he was about to die, and the long-term violent running brought huge burden to his body. Too much water loss in the body caused a dry throat, and the rapid consumption of oxygen and uneven breathing in the mouth and nose also led to the intensification of the heart's beating. Finally, his feet, his feet that had been moving for a long time, repeatedly warned of excessive fatigue to the brain that gave orders. In short, everything showed that he was completely at a disadvantage in this contest of physical strength, endurance and speed.
Another ruin that seemed to be able to hide. Tianxiang, who had no thoughts at all, plunged into the dark gap! Even if there was another terrifying bug hidden inside, it could not stop him at all. After all, there was no threat in front of the injured insect beast.
The angry insect beast once again used the old trick, and the gravel that flew out from all over the place under the violent impact fell from the top of the simple refuge. Like the hiding places in the first few places, the insect beasts would soon be completely destroyed by the insect beasts. If you want to survive, you can only escape.
Tianxiang did not move, not because he didn't want to move, but now he didn't have the extra strength to move. He was gasping for breath with one hand on the wall, while the other hand pressed his violently undulating chest tightly to relieve the pressure on his body. But the injured insect beast obviously did not want to give him such a short rest opportunity. Desperate Tianxiang saw: the two huge armored thighs on the insect beast's mouth had cut off the cement pillar outside that blocked its progress. At most, in a few seconds, the chewing mouthpiece that had not yet completely evolved and had four rows of sharp teeth would reach in front of him smoothly under the protection of the hard armored thighs.
"If there is another steel spear, I will definitely use it to penetrate the head of the insect beast." Tianxiang lowered his head helplessly. This idea was nothing wrong. With such a close distance, his desperate attempt could definitely kill the insect beast on the spot. But now, there is no longer any available weapon except a dagger that is more than an inch long. Could it be that he is really going to die here?
Wait, this is... this is, the gun! It is that gun! Tianxiang's lowered eyes fell on the heavy, useless pistol, and was pinned to the waist by himself. The huge power of the gun in the learning machine once again appeared in his mind. If the ancients were right, then he could use it to escape from danger.
Will the desperate person always let go of any straw that seems to be able to save himself? The same is true for Tianxiang. Although the short pistol did not seem to be used as a weapon, the rusted plate machine seemed to be a steel bar solidified in cement, even if Tianxiang used his strength to make a living, he still did not hesitate to follow what the learning machine said, pinched the handle, lifted the gun body straight, aimed at the insect beast that was about to break the obstacle, and rushed in and pulled the plate machine desperately...
"Ka——Chi" Tianxiang expected that a ball of death flame was sprayed out from the muzzle did not appear. The small pile of gray-yellow rust fell from the machine only further increased the gap in the buckle ring of the gun body. Moreover, as the user pulled back and forth, more rust continued to fall down. The half-moon plate machine, which was as black as the teeth of the god of death, also shortened the distance with the gun handle step by step in the back and forth of the fingers.
The insect beast's hearing was very sensitive. Although the sound of the pistol was not loud, it obviously had already caused a shock to it. It was quite surprised that it was only slightly delayed for a few seconds. After seeing clearly the prey in front of it, it still stayed honestly in the cage that was almost dug up, and once again raised the armor tip at the edge of its mouth and swung it hard towards the last few slender steel bars that blocked its way.
"Bang - Bang! Bang!" Three huge and incoherent gunshots came from the dark and wet ruins, and frightened a few carnivorous worms who were hiding far away in the dark and wandering in the dark so scared that they quickly twisted their round bodies and rushed towards the safest place they thought. Because, according to the established laws in this dark world, things that can make huge noises are definitely the top of the food chain, and they are also an extremely powerful and terrifying existence.
"Is this the gun? Is this the power of the gun?" Tianxiang looked at the slightly hot pistol in his hand with a confused look, muttering repeatedly that no one could answer except himself. If he had only been in a state of half-belief and half-doubt about the knowledge he had had before, then the facts in front of him forced Tianxiang to believe that everything about the ancients said in the learning machine was as real as the insect beast that was lying in front of him.
The huge insect beast had already fallen to the ground with six claws. The two thick holes between their eyes were still emitting thin wisps of smoke slightly outwards, which explained the cause of their death. In desperation, Tianxiang didn't care about so much at all. The machine that had been pulled one after another finally completed the difficult task of combining with the gun handle at the most dangerous moment. In this way, under the control of Tianxiang, a novice who had never touched the gun, three bullets flew out of the gun chamber under the mechanical impact of the gun and successfully killed the insect beast, the most terrifying creature.
Tianxiang, who was born in the Jedi, could not resist the huge transition between life and death in an instant. At this time, he realized that the back of his clothes had been completely soaked in nervous sweat, and the strength in his body disappeared without a trace. Even his eyes, which had been staring at the insects and beasts before, did not dare to relax at all, became like shriveled fruits that had lost all their moisture. Under the drooping eyelids, he was in a state of wanting to close at any time. Only the heavy pistol that had saved his life at the critical moment of life and death was still firmly held in his hand, and he did not dare to relax at all.
"Thirsty! Water! I need water." Tianxiang, who was standing there for a while, felt his throat, which was about to smoke, desperately reminded him of his most urgent needs at present. The leather bag containing water on his waist had long been abandoned. It would be possible to reduce the burden on his way to escape means that there was a glimmer of hope in life. But now, I didn't expect that the thirst that would become another big killer torture him.
The black water that emits a stinky smell in the ruins cannot be drunk. Only fresh rainwater that falls into the recesses of the ground, or liquid flowing out of a strange tube that can automatically release water. According to the knowledge of the ancients, Tianxiang knew that the thing seemed to be called a "tap water pipe".
But now, there is nothing in front of you that can quench your thirst except a huge insect beast that fell to the ground.
The blood of insects is also liquid, but it cannot be drunk. The smelly green liquid is still coming out from the wound on the left eye of the insect corpse, but Tianxiang is not interested at all. His eyes are only staring at a part similar to it - the two thick holes between the eyes of the insect beasts that were shot through by bullets.
