"Termites? No wonder there are so many pieces of wood around. Are we invading a termite nest?" Fatty suddenly realized, "Such a big termite, are they treating us as prey?"
"Yes, I have been thinking about the purpose of this special wood stacking structure. It turns out that it is to raise termites. This is probably a special kind of poison. The miasma we were hit by before was probably released by them.
"Out." I looked at the situation in front of me and analyzed, "But I have seen a paper before, saying that the body structure of insects can only support their current size. If they are enlarged in equal proportions,
When it reaches human size, its internal organs and tissues will be compressed directly by the chitin shell structure. It is impossible for termites of this size to exist in the world."
"But those who are engaged in scientific research and writing papers probably don't know that evil witch cults and monsters exist in the world. They have all gone to this kind of supernatural territory, so don't cling to scientific theories." Fatty complained.
He said, "Seeing is believing anyway. We were almost smashed into pieces by this beast just now. It can't be just an illusion."
"Fragments? Not really. Although the termites are big, they are only the size of one or two people. At most, they can pierce our hearts." I asked strangely, "Are you bleeding too much and your brain is confused?"
?”
The fat man was also curious: "How big is one or two people? Are you confused? These termites are obviously as big as a truck. It's really magical. You can actually blow them away with the Gangfeng Talisman. Your cultivation has improved a lot recently."
Bar?"
After listening to what he said, I realized that there was at least one person between the two of us, or that both of us had different degrees of hallucinations in front of us. Obviously we were seeing the same termite, but the appearance of each other was different.
The size difference is so huge, and before that, when they heard the sound of termites crawling over, their reactions were also very different.
I speculated: "Something's wrong. We can't completely believe what we see in front of us and the sounds we hear. I think this is the sequelae of that kind of miasma. Maybe these termites will deliberately spread this kind of miasma before preying on their prey."
The miasma causes the prey to have hallucinations of magnified terror, making the termites appear extremely large and terrifying in their eyes, making them unable to resist."
"Then you mean that what we both saw was an illusion? Although you were much less poisoned than me, but since there are already spots on your skin, you should also have a mild illusion, right?"
The fat man quickly grasped the key point of my words, and said with a sudden realization: "It is very possible that this termite is not the size of one or two people, and should be smaller. It is just the hallucination after you were poisoned that magnified it.
"
"Yes, if you think about this, there is nothing to be afraid of. Just think of them as ordinary termites that release toxins." I think as long as we leave their nests, the miasma we inhale will naturally be reduced. This kind of miasma will naturally decrease.
The hallucinations will slowly fade away.
We didn't dare to delay and ran outside quickly. However, I'm afraid it was due to the miasma. The wooden planks that originally seemed to us to be only about two meters high were actually two stories high in my opinion. I must have been poisoned.
In the eyes of the fat man, it must be more than ten stories high.
The corresponding horizontal distance has also been lengthened. Before, it only took me three or four minutes to get in and out of this place. Now, after walking for more than ten minutes, I still can't see the exit of this wooden forest. It's like we are firmly blocked in
The cage formed by his own illusion is the same as in the maze. He can only run around for his life but can never find the exit.
"No, I'm exhausted. I have to take a rest. We've been running for almost an hour." The fat man sat down on the ground, panting, refusing to get up even if he walked under his feet.
Although the distance is long, everyone's body perception time is also completely different. I finally understand why those termites go to great lengths to spread the miasma before hunting.
Because even if the prey wants to run away, as long as the poison is deep enough, even if they run a few steps, their bodies will feel as tired as if they have run for a thousand meters, and their physical strength will be exhausted quickly. For the termites themselves,
Of course it saves you the trouble of chasing.
I really wanted to pick up the fat man and continue on my way, but it was obvious that his injuries were not completely healed. If I forced him to expend his energy quickly, he might not be able to hold on for long, so I had to take out several Gangfeng Talisman stickers.
All around, ready to fight.
He sat there panting and exhaling for a while, then got up and said that he was almost rested and could run for another half hour. Of course, his half hour was only about five or six minutes to me.
"Wait!" Suddenly his eyes widened and he said in horror: "Here they come, they are here again! This time there are more than one, the number is simply overwhelming!"
After the previous experience, I no longer dare to underestimate the sound he heard. Although it is a bit exaggerated in his perception, even if it is a termite as big as a human, its huge bite force and limbs
The power is enough to cut human beings into pieces.
"It's coming! It's right above your head, run!" I heard a terrifying roar, and then a dozen termites parachuted down from the wooden board above my head like paratroopers, surrounding the two of us.
Obviously, the termite that we blew away before did not just run away, but ran back to its nest to ask for help. It probably thought that the two of us who were hit by the miasma would be easily attacked like ordinary prey, so
He came to deal with us alone, but ended up suffering a loss. Now a large army has been brought in.
It was precisely because I was worried about this situation that I dragged the fat man and ran out desperately, hoping to leave this place of trouble and trouble before the termite colony was disturbed. Unfortunately, it backfired.
"Calm down! You have to think in your mind that their actual size is probably about the same as ordinary ants. In your eyes, they are like monsters like trucks. It is just an illusion caused by the miasma." I felt the fat man behind me.
There was an uncontrollable tremor in his body. He knew that the poisoning was deeper, and the fear he saw now was much more serious than mine, so he quickly reminded me.
"I, I know, aren't you just looking at me as a monster? Fatty, I wanted to be Ultraman when I was watching cartoons when I was a child. These termites are just bigger in size. What other magic can they do? Look at me. I will destroy them.
it."
I took out the talisman and said, "How long have you been kidding me? Let's do it quickly. I'll use the Gangfeng Talisman and you use the Thunder Fire Talisman. No matter how big they are, we'll roast all the termites."
