Chapter 8: Ambush



As soon as he thought of this, Du Yuqi felt a chill. This monster was so hard to deal with even though it was so badly injured. If it was in perfect health, he would probably be digested in its belly right now...

Then, Du Yuqi noticed another very strange thing: that is, the strange insect stood up again after landing, but did not chase him immediately. Instead, it raised its head like a cobra and slowly turned around, as if it was listening carefully to something.

"Oh right..." Du Yuqi was surprisingly clear-headed at this critical moment of life and death. His brain was working at high speed and he immediately thought of one thing:

"It's clearly stated in the animal world that creatures like earthworms, centipedes, snakes, and centipedes all rely on hearing and sensing vibrations to detect the world. This monster looks like one of their relatives. When I saw it just now, it was curled up in a pile of dirt, and I couldn't find where its eyes were. Could it be that this guy also relies on sensing ground vibrations and sounds to hunt?"

With this idea in mind, Du Yuqi immediately paid attention to it. It took a lot of effort to discover that this strange insect did have eyes, hidden behind its ferocious mouthparts. It looked like a dragonfly's compound eyes, and there was an obvious pit on it. It was probably also injured, so its vision was probably very poor.

However, when it was shaking its head looking for its target, Du Yuqi held his breath and dared not move his feet. Even so, the monster at least knew the direction from which Du Yuqi made the last noise and would slowly crawl over to search. Du Yuqi could hide for a while, but if he didn't make any changes, he would not be able to hide forever!

Fortunately, with such a short buffer time, Du Yuqi had obtained enough information. He narrowed his eyes slightly and bent down slowly. It looked like a slow-motion close-up in a movie. Sweat was already dripping from his cheeks. After all, the strange insect was less than three meters away from him at this time, and even its pungent fishy smell could be smelled.

Then Du Yuqi slowly picked up several stones from the ground, and suddenly threw a stone at a place more than ten meters behind him.

When the stone fell to the ground with a light "click" sound, the strange insect immediately turned its head and listened carefully. Then Du Yuqi continued to throw out two stones, and deliberately let the second stone land about half a second later. Therefore, the sound made was a series of "clicks" and "clicks", which sounded like the sound of someone running and the front and back feet landing separately.

Suddenly, the ferocious monster slapped the ground with its tail and rushed out towards the place where the sound came from! The wet mud splashed by the tail hitting the ground flew everywhere and hit Du Yuqi's face painfully. The terrible explosive power made Du Yuqi feel cold in his heart.

When the strange insect rushed out, he ran in the opposite direction without hesitation.

Du Yuqi had already calculated it very accurately in his mind:

The two sides were now more than ten meters apart, and the ferocious monster insect was already injured. If it exerted force, its injuries would worsen. Therefore, it was impossible for it to use this kind of catapulting attack method continuously in a short period of time. It would not be able to catch up with him for a while...

And I...it only takes a little while!!

After running for about two or three hundred meters, Du Yuqi stopped and let out a long breath. During his escape, he kept throwing stones to interfere with the hearing of the strange insect behind him, causing it to be misled several times. Therefore, he ran here without any danger.

At this time, he turned his head and looked at the strange insect that was chasing him quickly more than ten meters away, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes:

"Do you really want to eat me? Since you dare to come here, I will make sure you never come back!"

The battlefield chosen by Du Yuqi was none other than the place where the mecha and the tree spirit had perished together.

After arriving here, although Du Yuqi was still walking slowly and the distance between the two was only five or six meters at most, the strange insect chasing from behind had already stood up, shaking its head and looking a little confused.

The reason why this happened is that after the lumberjack mecha was pierced by the tree spirit, there was a crackling sound from inside as electric sparks flashed, as well as a "bang bang" sound from the internal machinery running!

Du Yuqi's judgment was correct. The strange insect that was chasing him really relied on its own hearing and vibration to perceive the outside world. When there was obvious interference from the outside world, Du Yuqi deliberately slowed down his footsteps. The strange insect, having been misled several times by the sound of stones falling to the ground, immediately seemed a little confused and at a loss.

At this time, Du Yuqi took a deep breath. There was only one step left. He only needed to take one more risk to completely solve the trouble in front of him that could threaten his life!

"Come on!" Du Yuqi said silently in his heart.

Then he suddenly pointed at the strange insect in front of him and yelled:

"Come on! Bastard!"

Du Yuqi wasn't sure if the monster could understand what he was yelling, but he was sure that the monster could hear it!

——That’s enough!

At this moment, it was as if a slow-motion movie was replayed. After hearing the sound, the strange insect immediately raised its hard tail and slapped the ground. The moist and soft soil sank like a bullet under the heavy blow, and then slowly flew in all directions...

Then, the tendons and muscles of this strange insect were tensed, and several streams of yellow sticky liquid splashed out from the cracks in the broken shell on the side of its body, and then it shot out and aimed its mouthparts at Du Yuqi and bit him! !

However, at the moment when Du Yuqi shouted, he fell backwards as if he had been hit hard on the chin. When his body was still in the air and almost parallel to the ground, he smelled a pungent fishy odor, and then he saw the huge body of this strange insect, its hideous shell, and its strange limbs flying past him continuously, only three or four centimeters in front of his eyes! !

At this moment, Du Yuqi was only three or four centimeters away from death! !

But Du Yuqi's mood at this moment was strangely calm. He even thought of the high-speed train speeding past!
