The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 446 Centipede
At the very beginning, Yang Yang was actually not sure what he heard.Because of the intense running, his heart kept beating.In order to maintain the oxygen supply, he had to pant heavily to appease the heart in his chest that seemed to be about to jump out.

The first time he heard the sound, he frowned slightly, thinking that it was just his hallucination.But as the heartbeat slowly slowed down, the voice behind him didn't mean to stop.

"Click...click...click..."

The sound was like some sharp claws knocking on the stone.Just when Yang Yang was thinking about what it was, there was a sudden sound from the tunnel behind him, which made people feel toothache.

"Squeak-yah-"

It was no longer a rhythmic knocking sound, but the sound of something sharp across the ground.If I have to use a metaphor, it's like the kind of movement that makes people feel trembling when scratching a blackboard with a fingernail.

But this kind of movement, in such a place and environment, will not only make people feel toothache, but also make people feel frightened.There were only five people here, who would do such a thing except myself?

What is the purpose of making this kind of sound besides being scary?

Yang Yang looked up at the moss covering the top of his head that gave off a faint blue light, and took a deep breath.Suppressing the fear in his heart, he turned his head to look at the tunnel he came from.

The tunnel is already dim. Although the moss can emit light, it is very weak, and it can only make people see the road ahead half a step clearly.Even if there is moss along the way, it will not be seen clearly from a distance.

Strangely, as Yang Yang turned around, the voice that made him feel creepy just now disappeared, as if everything was just Yang Yang's own imagination.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Yang Yang condensed some spiritual energy with his right hand while cheering himself up.

Since coming here, Yang Yang has discovered that the aura here is particularly strong, and he doesn't even need to spend a lot of effort to condense a group of spiritual energy.

If I throw out the spiritual power in my hand——

Thinking of this, Yang Yang licked his dry lips.He remembered what Dancing in the Rain had said when he and Dai Xia were fighting each other in training.If he hit with all his strength, he could completely knock Dai Xia into the air.

Although it was impossible for him to take advantage of the subsequent battles, the effect of that blow was enough to save his life.

He remembered that Dancing in the Rain at that time was very satisfied with his training results, and even asked himself to practice hard.In his words: "Even if you can't win, at least you can run!"

The point of their previous training was not to allow Yang Yang and the others to win, as long as they could save their lives.This is all the requirements of the Malays and the others for Yang Yang.

Just survive.

Yang Yang couldn't figure it out, since he and Ning Yuan couldn't help at all, why did Yuan Mu and the others insist on bringing him?

Yang Yang is not stupid, he may be a bit dull in some places, but he can live among a group of monsters, and he can also fight wits and courage with another group of monsters to survive.Anyway, Yang Yang's IQ is definitely above the passing line.

Therefore, during getting along, Yang Yang knew very clearly that it was Yuan Mu who asked him and Ning Yuan to follow.This made Yang Yang very contradictory. First of all, he certainly had extraordinary trust in Yuan Mu.

Regardless of character or anything else, he believed that Yuan Mu would not do anything to hurt himself.But on the other hand, he couldn't understand why Yuan Mu would make such a seemingly unreasonable move.

This may also be why, when I saw them smiling, I would subconsciously run away.Even if he trusted Yuan Mu again, he still had doubts in his heart about this action.

In fact, thinking about it, it was nothing more than the three of the Malays who turned their heads to look at themselves and smiled, but they actually turned around and ran away.

Even in that situation, it was a weird thing for them to suddenly laugh.In addition, under such a dim light, even if there is no problem, I may be scared out of trouble.But none of this is a reason to run away.

Only Yang Yang knew in his heart that when he saw the smiles of those three people, the first thought that came to his mind was - there must be something wrong!What followed were many anomalies about this operation.It was these that made fear occupy Yang Yang's mind in the first place, and made him turn around and run away.

Thinking about it now, I'm afraid it was more of my own illusion, right?When you become suspicious, you will subconsciously feel that everyone is suspicious.Yang Yang thought about it, sighed and told himself that when he saw his companions again, he must apologize to them.

As he thought about it, he let out a deep breath, clenched his hand that had gathered spiritual power, and took a step forward.

"Click-"

As if responding to his footsteps, the sound that made Yang Yang feel extremely strange before sounded from the depths of the tunnel.But this time, Yang Yang ran away without turning his head. He clenched his fists and took a second step forward.

Can't retreat, can't run.Otherwise, he would lose all his courage, and then the training for so long would be meaningless.Yang Yang said to himself in his heart, and continued to walk forward.

"click-click-"

The voices in the depths of the corridor are getting louder and denser.If what Yang Yang heard just now were just "raindrops" that didn't hurt or itch, what he heard now is "heavy rain".

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared in front of him.Because of the light, only a blurry shadow was imprinted in Yang Yang's pupils.Even so, Yang Yang still recognized it, it was a huge centipede!

Are there centipedes here? !

Yang Yang's first thought was that he was wrong.He clearly remembered that when he first entered the tunnel, he was still surprised.Why in this environment, there are no snakes, insects, rats and ants, not even a single insect.

However, the suspicion in his heart could not overcome the oppression that the centipede was getting closer and closer to him.Almost subconsciously, Yang Yang turned around and ran behind.That's a centipede!Not anything else!As long as he thinks of its countless feet, Yang Yang gets goose bumps all over his body.

Everyone has something to fear, and with few exceptions, most people fear the same things.In fact, it is not called fear.It is just a stress response to the external environment engraved in our genes during the long evolutionary process.

For example, creatures such as snakes, insects, and spiders, the first reaction of most people is to stay away.When we really see it, it is not necessary to tear our liver and gallbladder, but the subconscious will tell us to stay away from them.The reason is simply that our genetic memory is warning us.

These things are dangerous!
Now Yang Yang is in such a situation, he subconsciously turned around and ran, but stopped after running for three steps.

can't run!
As long as you succumb to your own consciousness, you will never have a chance to become stronger again!

This is what Dai Xia told them when they were training.

Dai Xia said: "We are human races. We don't have sharp minions and fur, and we don't have the natural cultivation of monster races. We can only rely on ourselves and practice step by step. But in the end, every breakthrough is to ourselves. The ultimate challenge. If you are not a person who can resist your subconscious, you can’t do it.”

He looked at the two seriously, and continued: "If you want to become stronger, you must first learn to force yourself. Otherwise, even with Yuan Mu and the others escorting you, you will end up with nothing. After all, you are the only one who cultivates. battle."

These words have always been engraved in Yang Yang's heart, but he never understood what they meant.In his mind, the so-called persecution is nothing more than overcoming his own inertia, not being lazy, and training hard.However, it wasn't until this moment that he figured out the meaning of Dai Xia's words.

To become stronger, he must fight against his subconscious.Even if it is very difficult, he will do it.Because it is impossible for him to be under Yuan Mu's protection forever, and he is not willing to be a "protected person".Even though he is so weak many times, he doesn't want to be like this forever.

Yang Yang stopped abruptly.He turned his head and stared directly at the growing shadow, as if staring directly at the worst nightmare in his heart.

One step, two steps, he moved, moving towards the shadow.Apparently, his actions also caught the shadow's attention.The other party didn't seem to expect that this seemingly weak human being would suddenly turn around and face him.

This exceeded his expectations.According to the plan, he would follow behind the boy leisurely.Scare him, scare him, make him run away in a panic.Wait until the end, and then take back your victory leisurely.

It's just a young man, even if such a small accident happened, what does it matter?

Facing such a weak human being, he has a lot of ways to make him surrender, as long as he doesn't touch the bottom line set by that adult, it will be fine.

Thinking of this, the shadow straightened up in an instant, which was a sign that he was about to launch an attack.

Seeing his movements, Yang Yang suddenly stopped in his tracks.He bent his body slightly, his eyes staring at the shadow not far away.It was close enough now, and close enough for him to see the shadow for what it really was.

Sure enough, as he thought, it was a huge centipede.He could even see the scarlet eyes on the centipede's head, and the huge jaws.

Seeing everything in front of him, Yang Yang narrowed his eyes.
