Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 177 Old Idiot
Lin Qianxing came to the Yinyue Lake and looked at his appearance again through the lake water.
Compared to his original form, his body is now thinner and his tail is longer and more elastic, even extending up to three meters away. He also has a keen sense of touch and is completely under his own control. There is also a small opening at the tip that can be opened. When opened, some neural spikes will extend from it, which can be used to pierce the skin of other creatures and communicate directly through neural information.
However, after Lin Qianxing got this tail, the first thing he thought of was not the problem of communication.
He felt as if he could use this tail to fish?
After hesitating for a while, Lin Qianxing still didn't dare to throw his tail into the water for the fish to bite.
Mainly, he was worried that the fish would be careless and what if one of them bit off his tail?
He doesn't have the ability to regenerate a severed tail.
This tail is almost comparable to an elephant's trunk. Lin Qianxing uses it very smoothly and can perform all kinds of delicate operations.
You can even use it to peel berries.
After adapting a little, Lin Qianxing planned to find a small animal to try out his [Tail Connection] talent.
However, he was so big that the small animals were scared and ran away when they saw Lin Qianxing, and would not come close to him at all.
Lin Qianxing tried to chase them, but he couldn't outrun them.
Even if he could outrun them, they were agile and would either burrow into holes or climb trees, and Lin Qianxing could only watch helplessly.
Lin Qianxing had no choice but to give up his reckless actions and decided to use his brain.
He found a place with animal footprints and relatively soft soil. Using his hooves and mouth, he spent almost half a day digging a small hole more than two meters deep in the ground. Then he broke some bushes, took out some sharp wooden sticks, and stuck his tail into the hole.
Finally, I got some dry and brittle branches to cover the entrance of the hole, and then covered it with some leaves and threw some berries on it, and a simple trap was completed .
This trap is not excellent, but it is not deadly either. Small animals may not even fall into it, and even if they do, they can probably climb out quickly.
Lin Qianxing's target is medium or even large animals.
If they fall in, they will probably get injured and it won't be easy to climb out.
When the time comes, he will step forward to rescue them, gaining admiration points while also being able to communicate with them.
He was the good guy and the bad guy all by himself.
Although he was still physically fit, Lin Qianxing felt a little hungry after digging such a trap, so he had to look for food everywhere.
While looking for food, it was already evening.
Lin Qianxing chose to rest in a place sheltered from the wind.
He heard a lot of animal noises at night, but Lin Qianxing ignored them.
He is indeed a little tired now.
After a night, Lin Qianxing woke up and walked towards the trap he had dug yesterday while looking for food.
Before he got close, Lin Qianxing heard the sounds of struggle and weak cries.
Lin Qianxing smiled secretly in his heart. Fortunately, he learned a few things while playing games before, otherwise he might not have been able to gain results so quickly.
Quickening his pace, Lin Qianxing soon reached the trap.
However, when he saw what was in the pit, he was almost scared.
It was a huge insect with hanging eyes and white forehead.
Can his rubbish trap catch a tiger?
Is that a bit too dramatic?
Seeing Lin Qianxing's figure appear, the tiger shouted weakly, with a low sound coming from its throat, as if threatening.
Lin Qianxing looked at the traces of struggle at the entrance of the cave and the pool of blood under the tiger, then looked at the skinny body of the tiger and instantly understood the situation.
This is an old tiger in his twilight years.
It may have not had a full meal for a while. After accidentally falling into the trap, its butt was pierced by the sharp branches below. When it struggled, it had no leverage because of the slippery soil, so it was unable to escape the trap in a short time. Now it has lost a lot of blood and is too tired to have any strength.
It can be seen from the fact that when it saw Lin Qianxing appear, it only threatened him twice in a symbolic low voice.
After thinking about it, Lin Qianxing tentatively extended his tail into the trap.
“Ah~ woo~ woo~!”
With its deep voice and threatening eyes, Lin Qianxing had no doubt that it was going to bite him the next moment.
Lin Qianxing retracted his tail and decided to wait until it had completely stopped struggling before communicating with it.
Lin Qianxing waited until noon.
He stretched out his tail dozens of times, and the tiger made a biting motion. At this time, the sunlight shone through the treetops, and it finally looked powerless, allowing Lin Qianxing's tail to fall on its head without any reaction.
Lin Qianxing tried twice more and found that it still had no intention of opening its mouth. Then he suddenly opened the tip of its tail and pierced the tiger's head with its nerve spikes.
Suddenly, the nerve signals of the two were connected together, and Lin Qianxing read the other party's thoughts.
"Tired...hungry..."
"I rescued you and you helped me do something!" Lin Qianxing conveyed his thoughts.
The tiger perked up a little, glanced at Lin Qianxing, and seemed to understand that the message was conveyed by Lin Qianxing.
This is information transmission from the nerves, and the other party can understand it easily.
"I am willing to surrender..." said the tiger.
It did not hesitate. At this time, the most important thing was to be able to get out alive.
Lin Qianxing also chose to believe the tiger's words. He directly disconnected the tail contact, turned around and left. Not long after, he ran back with a big wooden stick in his mouth.
The tail touched the tiger again, and Lin Qianxing handed one side of the big wooden stick in his mouth to the tiger.
“Bite it!”
The tiger opened its mouth and bit directly at one end of the stick.
Then Lin Qianxing began to exert force, and at the same time, he wrapped his tail around the tiger's body and began to pull it out.
Lin Qianxing's brute force was quite terrifying, and the tiger in the trap was old, skinny and not very heavy, so with the combined efforts of both parties, it quickly moved out of the trap.
“Ah~!”
With a roar, the tiger was pulled out of the trap by Lin Qianxing.
It shook its body vigorously, shook off the dirt, and then looked at Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing also looked at it.
Although he is already an old tiger, if the opponent wants to attack him, it is hard to say who will win.
“Woo woo~!”
The tiger lowered its head to show its submission.
[Hint: You have gained 0.5 worship value from Zhang Shanhu, a (unbeliever) believer.]
Lin Qianxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the prompt.
"Hmph (Follow me)~!"
With a roar, Lin Qianxing signaled the tiger to follow him.
However, the tiger did not understand, so Lin Qianxing could only use his tail to connect with it, and then communicate through the tail: "Follow me to the lake to find food."
"Lake?" The tiger seemed a little confused.
"Just follow me." Lin Qianxing said.
The tiger stopped thinking and dragged his tired body to follow Lin Qianxing towards Yinyue Lake.
Generally speaking, animals in nature will unconditionally obey the orders of their leader once they choose to surrender.
Although this tiger is a solitary animal, the information from its genes tells it what to do.
After following Lin Qianxing to the Yinyue Lake, Lin Qianxing did not explain, but just casually rolled up some berries with his tail and dripped their juice into the lake in front of him.
Soon, the fish in the lake swam over.
Wow!
Lin Qianxing's tail poked out in an instant.
The next moment, two fat fish appeared on it.
This fishing method was something Lin Qianxing thought of when he rescued the tiger before.
He found that his tail was not as fragile as he had imagined, and to some extent it was even more useful than many weapons.
He did not feel any difficulty dragging the tiger's weight of hundreds of pounds with his tail. If he used the martial arts skills he mastered, it would probably be no weaker than some spears.
And it turned out to be true. Lin Qianxing tried his hand at it and easily caught two fish.
Lin Qianxing shook off his tail and threw the two fish in front of the tiger.
"Eat it!"
The tiger was a little dazed, but he still suppressed his hunger and pushed the fish in front of Lin Qianxing, signaling him to eat it first.
Lin Qianxing didn't expect that this old guy had such a wide range of options.
He rolled up one of the fish and placed it in front of the tiger, and rolled up the other one for himself to eat.
After seeing Lin Qianxing taking a bite, the tiger could no longer suppress its hunger and started to eat him.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing used the same trick again and caught more than a dozen fish in several places, barely feeding the tiger half full.
The tiger that ate the fish contributed a few tenths of a point of admiration to Lin Qianxing.
But after feeding the tiger fish again, the tiger no longer had any worship value for Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing initially thought that the tiger was used to it and would not worship him anymore, but then he discovered that this was not the case. Instead, there was an upper limit to the amount of worship it could contribute?
Is this upper limit temporary, or can a believer only contribute so much worship value in his lifetime?
Lin Qianxing didn't think much about it, but continued to take the tiger to find food.
For animals in nature, foraging is the most time-consuming task.
But eating fish all the time is not a good thing. Lin Qianxing also plans to cooperate with the tiger to catch some wild animals.
While foraging for food, Lin Qianxing also gave the tiger a name called "Old Fool".
If I were not stupid, I would not have fallen into his trap.
The tiger did not understand the meaning of the name Lin Qianxing gave it. After all, without relying on its tail, it could not even understand what Lin Qianxing said.
Although the old fool is old, its hunting experience is still there.
After communicating with Lin Qianxing, it quickly brought Lin Qianxing to a deer habitat.
The deer here are all very strong and run very fast.
After Lin Qianxing tried to chase them for a while, he found that he could not outrun them, even the deer.
So Lin Qianxing could only cooperate with the old fool and let the old fool wait on the side while he chased the deer that was drinking water and drove it to the direction of the old fool. Then the old fool pounced on it and subdued it by biting its neck.
In this way, Lin Qianxing and the old fool finally succeeded and captured their first prey.
After the deer died completely, the old fool placed the deer in front of Lin Qianxing and signaled him to eat it first.
Lin Qianxing was quite satisfied with this believer and made up his mind that if he had the means and the old fool was not dead yet, he would find a way to make it live for two more years and train it.
