Volume 3 Chapter 18 The Tripartite Stand
Accompanied by Doudou, he and Fu Hongyang walked on the village passage road, through the rolling haze, admiring the lush scene on both sides of the road.
"Grow up, Doudou, and when you really grow to the size of a calf, I'll be able to ride you around." Fu Hongyang touched Doudou's dog head and thought in his heart.
Dogs have a weak waist, so they are difficult to ride, and of course, the most important reason is that dogs are not so big that they can be ridden safely. At the very least, they have to grow to the size of cows and horses to withstand the weight of people. If there is such a big dog, it will not be a tofu waist.
Doudou is developing into a demon beast, so it is logical to become a mount.
"Wow!" Doudou didn't know why, the calf-like body circled around Fu Hongyang, still maintaining the temperament that a rural dog should have.
"The plants are growing so fast that there are no traces of farmland anymore, and the weeds are almost waist-high except that there are not enough trees...... I wonder how crazy the scene will be in a few months, when the weeds will be taller than people? ”
Fu Hongyang sighed slightly, not knowing whether this change is good or bad.
Needless to say, the bad side is naturally not to worry about vegetation destruction, soil erosion, and green mountains and rivers everywhere.
Suddenly.
A "coo" sound came from afar.
Doudou had already pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and Fu Hongyang also paid attention. Soon a second "cooing" sound was heard, like the cry of a toad, and the sound came from far and near. A moment later, there was a third "cooing" call, which was undoubtedly the cry of a toad.
Laughing, Fu Hongyang ignored it, and he learned from the disaster committee that many animals have gradually adapted to life under the haze.
For example, some wild cats and wild dogs often haunt the haze, but they do not show any signs of evolution.
Researchers from the Ministry of Science believe that smog does not directly infect animals and humans, but infects animals and humans by infecting microorganisms such as bacteria. But the free immune system in humans and animals may evolve antibodies to these infecting bacteria.
With antibodies, you will naturally not be infected again, and you will be able to navigate the haze.
Of course, most animals may have "suspended animation" as zombie beasts before they have evolved antibodies. Zombie beasts, like zombies, can have mental mutations, physical mutations, morphological mutations and other mutations, and will also gather around the demon tree. However, there are not many zombie beasts.
According to scientists' speculation, animals are relatively resistant, and they have a natural ability to seek advantages and avoid harm, and most of them should run to safety after the smog occurs.
The rest will probably be eaten by zombies, especially mutated zombies, and it is easy to hunt animals that have not yet been infected.
"Gollum!"
Fu Hongyang didn't plan to pay attention to this toad, but he didn't expect the toad to get closer and closer, and it looked like it was coming at him.
After he had taken a few steps, the sound of the toad sounded in his ears.
Then Doudou barked at the grass on the side of the road in the village: "Wang! ”
Between the barks, a toad as big as a millstone jumped out of the grass and jumped to the middle of the road, two huge eyes like basketballs, staring closely in the direction of Doudou. Its size was huge, beyond Fu Hongyang's imagination, and its hemp-gray body was covered with huge tumors.
This is an oversized ordinary toad.
Squatting in the middle of the road, staring at the tiger is like a roadblock robbery.
Pulling out a powerful combat knife, Fu Hongyang frowned, he first calmed Doudou, and then stared at the huge toad carefully: "This is the toad that has eaten the Spirit Tree Fruit?" "Having eaten the Spirit Tree Fruit means that this toad belongs to the fruit essence, and even the fruit king.
But soon, Fu Hongyang raised his eyebrows: "There are fruit essences, which means that there are spirit trees around here!" ”
He immediately decided to drive away the toad, and then followed the toad to find the spirit tree that parasitized it, but before Fu Hongyang could carry out the plan, the toad actually took the initiative to attack Xiang Doudou. It opened its mouth wide, and a tongue shot at Doudou like an arrow, as fast as thunder.
Doudou's reaction was not unpleasant, and as soon as he flashed, he bared his teeth and pounced on the toad.
The toad jumped away quickly, and then stuck out his tongue and shot Doudou, and a dog and a toad fought evenly in a short time. But the toad is just a toad after all, Doudou is a hunting dog, with strong natural instincts, and after finding an opportunity, he bites the toad and bites a piece of the tumor on the surface of the toad.
Milky white slurry is flowed out.
The toad suffers and wants to resist.
Ever since Doudou learned to drag the zombie's trousers, he has become more and more proficient in this skill, and he has forcibly thrown the toad around, and the slurry is thrown everywhere.
"Gollum!" The toad screamed again and again, but could not resist.
Its strength is too far behind that of Doudou, no matter how big the toad's body mutates, it can only stick out its tongue to catch insects, and there is no hound suitable for fighting. Seeing that he was thrown around by Doudou, the tumor full of serous fluid was about to crumble, and his body was shriveled like a balloon.
Fu Hongyang took action in time to stop Doudou: "Put down this toad, Doudou." ”
Doudou obediently shook off the toad, and then looked at Fu Hongyang puzzled, not understanding why he let go of the prey that reached his mouth. Fu Hongyang didn't explain, but just glanced at Doudou who was splashed with milky white slurry all over his body worriedly-the tumor on the toad's body was a venom gland, and the slurry was poisonous.
The old man often said that if the venom of the toad splashes in the eyes, he will be blind directly.
"Don't move, I'll help you clean up the slurry on your body...... You spit out all the slurry in your mouth, and don't have any left. Fu Hongyang tried to use his mind to remove the slurry from Doudou's body, but the slurry in Doudou's mouth could only be shaken off by itself.
However, if you think about it, Doudou is already fruity, and there are parasitic fibers of the black tree in the body, so it should have a certain detoxification ability.
In addition, he had also seen dogs bite toads when he was a child, and he had not seen dogs poisoned to death because of biting toads, so he was just a little worried, not very worried.
And at this time.
The toad, who was lying on the ground, rolled over and limped into the grass.
Fu Hongyang cleaned up the slurry on Doudou's body, and immediately followed the toad and ran to the depths of the grass. As you run, you cut waist-deep weeds out of a path. Doudou had no signs of poisoning for the time being, sticking out his tongue and following behind Fu Hongyang, chasing the toad.
The speed of the toad is not fast, but the attitude is firm, along one direction, constantly moving forward.
After about ten minutes, Fu Hongyang no longer needed a toad to guide the way, and he had already seen the familiar faint light in the haze-free area: "It turns out that Wei Laohu also has a spirit tree. "The place where the toad attracted him still belongs to Taoji Town, and there is a big lake called Weilao Lake.
When he was a child, Fu Hongyang often came to Weilao Lake to fish for crayfish, and later Weilaohu was privately contracted to raise fish, and planted a lot of weeping willows on the shore.
Every spring, Fu Hongyang and his friends will come over to pick wicker, weave it into a willow ring and wear it on their heads.
At this moment, the haze-free area is formed by three large willow trees with down-hanging branches, and the weeping willow spirit tree presents a three-legged trend, embracing Weilao Lake in the middle.
"Gollum!" The toad limped into the haze-free zone and crawled towards one of the weeping willow spirit trees.
Fu Hongyang laughed unconsciously: "It's really good luck, I found three spirit trees at once...... It's a pity that there is no spirit tree fruit on the tree...... No, does the willow tree have any fruit? He couldn't remember for a while whether the willow tree would blossom or bear fruit, and he never remembered seeing the fruit of the willow tree.
