——From a certain perspective, this is a function that any living thing has
Whether it is humans and animals feasting on food, or plants, fungi, or even viruses that sleep indefinitely, silently absorbing water and sunlight.
The existence of these lives is inseparable from the word "eat" from beginning to end.
The rich will spend a lot of money for a delicious food, while ordinary people can enjoy a wonderful supper alone at night...
The herbivores chew the sweet grass juice, the carnivores swallow the hot flesh and blood, and the plants absorb the precious water...
"Eating" - is wonderful.
But you know what? Things like words are really magical sometimes.
Just add one more word, and this wonderful "eat" can become the ultimate nightmare for all living things.
Add the word "being".
——Be eaten.
Is it scary?
Yes it's scary.
Because the ultimate goal of the evolution of all living things is actually to avoid being "eaten".
Is this difficult to understand?
Thick limbs, dexterous movements, hard shell, light feathers...
And the unique "thinking" of human beings.
The living beings were afraid of being eaten, so they tried their best to evolve themselves, and finally evolved into their current life forms.
Therefore, when a living body realizes that it is about to be eaten, it will feel fear from the bottom of its heart!
For example, right now.
The strange creature that descended on the Haicheng University library reminded the humans present once again of the ancient memory hidden in their genes——
Don't want to be eaten.
…
"Gah!"
The strange creature became obviously much more excited after swallowing Xu Cheng's blood.
It jumped left and right, as if it had eaten something particularly delicious, so it let out a hoarse and harsh roar for the first time.
But Xu Cheng didn't care about this.
He only had one question.
Why didn't I hit it just now?
If he was in a blind spot on his body, it would be possible to miss, but the strange creature just now was clinging to his left fist.
The tooth marks on it are proof!
How on earth did it avoid that punch?
Xu Cheng moved the fingers of his left hand slightly.
Well, it just broke some skin, it doesn't affect the movement, and the bleeding has stopped, so it's good.
But the attacks of strange creatures continue.
In just the blink of an eye, the strange creature disappeared again.
Where did it go?
Xu Cheng's eyes moved one after another, scanning the surroundings, and finally found it on the back of another Deep Space member.
The deep space member realized that he was under attack and quickly slammed his back into the wall!
boom!
This time, the force used was enough to directly break the spine.
But when the deep space member fell to the ground tremblingly, the strange creature was still lying on his back, unaffected at all.
Is this guy immune to physical attacks?!
This terrible conjecture made the faces of those around him paler.
The fallen deep space member lay on the ground, waving his hands feebly like a baby.
He cried.
"No, please, I don't want to be eaten..."
What responded to him was the strange creature's crescent-shaped empty eyes and its bloody mouth.
"Aww!"
With just one bite, one side of the man's trapezius muscle was bitten off, causing blood to flow profusely.
The strange creature roared like an excited laugh, disappeared again, and shuttled around, eating one person after another.
Even Xu Cheng was forced to bear its attack!
Swish, swish, swish!
Xu Cheng had three more wounds on his right upper arm, left calf, and left shoulder.
He tensed his muscles in advance, so the strange creature only bit through a little of the skin, but the surrounding deep space members did not have Xu Cheng's physical fitness.
Every bite taken by the strange creatures will bite off a large piece of flesh and blood from their bodies, and they will either die or be maimed!
The nightmare continues...
…
In the nightmare, only those who are awake can stand!
Xu Cheng still stood there, clenching his fists, moving his feet from time to time, observing the position of the strange creature.
There is no fear in his heart now, but he has two questions.
These two questions are the key to unlocking the mystery of the behavior of this strange creature!
First:
As early as when the strange creature attacked others on a large scale, Xu Cheng had planned to turn around and protect the principal.
After all, the principal is just an ordinary person. He has also dismantled his original exoskeleton, so it is impossible to resist the bite of that strange creature.
But what surprised Xu Cheng was that he was not attacked by the strange creature when he was walking through the reading room looking for the principal who had the formula books!
Why?
second:
Judging from the current situation, that strange creature has a super-high movement speed that is close to "teleportation" and can even ignore all physical attacks.
Since it has this ability, there should be no visible action of "dodge" for it.
In fact, in most cases, the strange creature disappeared in the blink of an eye, and did not dodge even if it was directly knocked into the wall. There was only one exception -
When the deep space member cut off his arm at the beginning, and then slashed at the strange creature with his knife, the strange creature made obvious dodge movements!
Why is this?
These two questions troubled Xu Cheng.
At this moment, the strange creature disappeared from Xu Cheng's sight again.
coming!
Xu Cheng tensed his nerves and felt the pain in his right forearm in an instant.
He waved his arm violently, but still felt the pain of being bitten.
Looking up, a bite mark on his right forearm was clearly visible.
"Tsk..."
Blood stains spread on Xu Cheng's arms, flowing through the raised muscle texture.
Just at this moment, Xu Cheng's ears heard that familiar voice.
"Old man, what happened?"
Chu Qiu's figure appeared.
In the haze, she sensed the violent fluctuations of original energy around Xu Cheng, and then used the original energy block on Xu Cheng's chest to forcibly establish a link between her and Xu Cheng.
"A strange thing has happened?"
Chu Qiu looked at the extremely bloody scene in front of him and instantly understood the situation in front of him.
"Can't find the enemy? Let me help you."
"Wait, don't!"
A bad premonition suddenly surged into Xu Cheng's heart.
But it was too late for him to stop him, because Chu Qiu had already seen the strange creature the size of a puppy.
The strange creature was eating a person's neck, but it seemed to feel something. It suddenly turned its head and looked at Xu Cheng with its black eyes...
No, he was looking at Chu Qiu!
Its eyes were curved into crescent shapes, as if it had discovered more interesting prey.
In an instant, the strange creature disappeared without a trace.
Xu Cheng gritted his teeth, turned his head suddenly, and saw the scene he least wanted to see.
The weird creature lay on Chu Qiu's calf, opened its mouth, and took a bite!
Whoosh!
At that moment, Xu Cheng made a decisive decision, took out the original energy block in his arms, and then threw it away.
boom!
The original energy block was submerged into the wall due to Xu Cheng's strange power.
Without the support of original energy, Chu Qiu's figure gradually dissipated.
Before leaving, Chu Qiu's hand gently touched Xu Cheng's face.
That face was twisted with rage.
"Old man, calm down."
…
"Old woman, you know my-"
Xu Cheng calmed down.
"I'm never calm."
Calm down, it turns into rage!
Xu Cheng turned around and saw the strange creature not far from him.
It was chewing something - probably from Chu Qiu's body.
Those two black eyes smiled into a crescent shape.
