As the ax fell, the tentacles shook desperately, and they were suddenly pulled out from the man's body, and opened their sharp spikes at the macho man.
Meng Nan took a step back while holding the ax, staring at the tentacles with vigilant eyes.
The rest of the people involuntarily stepped back, keeping as far away from Meng Nan and the tentacles as possible.
Haoyue and Meng Longlong came to Meng Nan's side holding weapons.
"Go check the other vents." Meng Nan said in a deep voice without looking away from the tentacles: "Be careful not to be attacked by a sneak attack."
Haoyue and Meng Longlong nodded.
You must know that such a large supermarket cannot have only one vent. Once the tentacle monster attacks from other places, it will be even worse.
As soon as Haoyue and his two men retreated, the tentacles launched an attack on Meng Nan.
Creatures with tentacles like octopuses are different from regular creatures.
Normally biological neurons are mainly concentrated in the brain, which plays an almost decisive role in the control of the body.
The instructions from the brain are transmitted throughout the body through the spinal nerves, and then all actions are performed, even the opening and closing of pores.
Just like the emperor in ancient times, everything in the entire country was ordered by the emperor, conveyed and directed by various ministers, and then implemented.
The octopus does not have a spinal cord, and its hundreds of millions of neurons are distributed in the brain and tentacles.
According to scientists' analysis, the brains of creatures like octopuses only have 40% of neurons, and the rest are all distributed on the tentacles.
Therefore, each tentacle of the octopus has its own consciousness. Although it is weak, it can indeed think.
This is like the ancient vassal kings. The main powers were in the hands of the emperor, but each vassal king could have a high degree of autonomy.
The only difference from the ancient vassal kings is that for the sake of power, the ancient vassal kings would not inform the emperor of all the news, and it was very likely that they would follow the emperor's instructions in both positive and negative ways.
The tentacles of creatures like octopuses will promptly inform the brain of all the information they obtain, and they will absolutely obey the brain's command.
Even if the brain encounters a crisis, these tentacles will abandon themselves to protect the safety of the brain.
This is why Ottwa in "The Deep Cold" has such a huge body, but he can attack others through some small channels.
Meng Nan had no doubt that the tentacle monster in front of him also had such ability.
This is why Meng Nan asked Haoyue and Meng Longlong to check other places. A single tentacle is not enough to worry him too much, but if other tentacles secretly cooperate with this tentacle, it will be very dangerous.
The tentacle pierced Meng Nan's body like lightning. Meng Nan turned around and avoided it. At the same time, he swung the ax in his hand and struck directly at the tentacle.
The tentacle seemed to have learned from its previous experience. After noticing that Meng Nan was attacking with the axe, it instantly set up its spikes in an attempt to resist the attack of the ax blade.
But Meng Nan's power is so powerful. For someone like him who has experienced dozens of horror movies, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a superman at this moment.
The ax blade struck the tentacle, splitting it into two pieces in an instant.
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the broken tentacle bounced up again and rolled towards Meng Nan's body.
Meng Nan was well prepared for this. The ax in his hand once again cut the tentacle into two pieces.
As the tentacle was cut into two pieces, it shook violently on the ground and soon turned into a puddle of black water.
Seeing this, Meng Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the vent again.
It was pitch black inside the vent, and no tentacles came again.
At this moment, Haoyue and Meng Longlong also came back. They told Meng Nan that there were no tentacle attacks elsewhere.
Meng Nan nodded, further confirming his suspicion.
But this was not the time to tell everyone their guesses. He picked up the ax and shouted to everyone: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you!"
Everyone's eyes changed again, and some people's expressions when they looked at Meng Nan changed from distrust to admiration.
Then Meng Nan looked at the body on the ground, found a bag, put the body in it, and then sent it to the warehouse behind.
Then Meng Nan found Haoyue and the others and told them his guess.
According to Meng Nan's guess, the world of horror movies this time may not be a simple monster movie.
Just like the title of the movie, the most dangerous thing in this horror movie world should be the fog itself.
There is even only one kind of monster in this horror movie world.
After hearing Meng Nan's words, Haoyue and the other three were very puzzled. They had obviously seen monsters such as scorpion-tailed flies and winged thrushes, but why did Meng Nan say there was only one kind of monster, the mist?
Meng Nan explained that these monsters are actually monsters based on human fears.
This is a kind of fog formed by concretizing human fears.
Fan Chengxiu felt that Meng Nan was joking. Could it be possible to embody a world through concreteness?
Meng Nan told Fan Chengxiu that this kind of concretization is not concretization in a simple sense, but a more complex and difficult-to-identify mechanism.
It will evolve and create on the basis of "embodiment".
It is for this reason that these creatures originate from the white mist, so even though there is only a thin layer of glass blocking it, as long as the white mist does not spread, these creatures will not come in easily.
Because there is no strength for them to survive.
And the tentacle just now in the movie illustrates this point. The reason why they turned into black water was not because their bodies could not withstand the air of this world, but because they lost the infusion of white mist. Then they
It will lose the foundation of "forming".
It is precisely for this reason that these creatures are more likely to attack "fear" and devour "fear".
This is also why the mother who went out to look for her child did not die. This is because the mother's courage was greater than her fear.
This is why the protagonists were not attacked when they went to the drugstore. This is also because their courage is greater than their fear.
For those who are more courageous than fearful, these monsters lack interest and have no desire to devour them.
"That's why you have been trying to influence the people here and make them regard you as their savior." Hao Yue nodded: "Is it just to let their courage overcome their fear?"
"That's right." Meng Nan nodded: "Fan Chengxiu said it, and the last word he said was 'heop', which means hope. Only when people are full of hope can they resist the power of the fog."
