Chapter 215: Revisiting Zhangjia Village
Chapter 215
In the 100,000 mountains south of Qinghu Mountain in Zhongzhou, a white figure is rushing rapidly between mountains and rivers, the last moment it is still on the top of the distant mountain, and the next moment it has reached the side of the near mountain.
At such a speed, the white figure still maintained a relaxed and elegant bearing, but it was a little tired as it went.
A gust of wind blew, and Chu Taosheng stood at the top of a tall crown tree, his body swaying up and down with the branches, and he silently stared at the dead village below.
This is Zhangjia Village at the foot of Qinghu Mountain, where the Taozi family once lived.
Originally, he thought that after he left, the villagers would repair the village and move back in, but looking at the ruined houses below, it seemed that the entire village had been abandoned.
Chu Taosheng shook his head slightly, human beings occupy most of the territory of the Five Elements and Eight Desolation Realms, and this habit of moving a family or a whole village after destroying a place has existed since ancient times.
Although there is also a saying that the fallen leaves return to their roots, the homeland is difficult to leave, but all this is based on the condition that the environment has not been destroyed, if the homeland is dilapidated or catastrophic, human beings often do not say that they can find ways to improve, but directly migrate to another environment that is more suitable for survival.
Therefore, the whole continent often encounters such abandoned and barren villages and towns, and even cities, just because the cost of new construction is much lower than the cost of demolition and reconstruction, and it can also reduce many links. As a result, human beings are happy to build a new life, abandon the old environment, migrate to a new homeland, and abandon the old homeland.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that human beings were able to quickly spread to the entire continent and occupy the supremacy of biological populations.
Without thinking too much, Chu Taosheng fell from the treetops and strolled into the village.
When everything was still gone, the tragic situation of the fire and fire made him easily recall that day, and even more so the wonderful night before that day, on that night, in the humble mountain village school, the domineering little woman swore an oath of possession of him.
His face was slightly astringent, he laughed at himself, and walked in the direction of Momoko's house, but after walking a few steps, his face instantly turned condensed.
I saw a "person" vaguely seen next to the not too wide dirt road in front of me, between the cracks in the ground.
"He" was rotting and dripping with pus, and countless insects crawled all over his body, this thing that should have been a dead man suddenly struggled and squirmed after Chu Taosheng approached.
However, the lower half of "his" body was squeezed by the crack, so he couldn't break free, so he could only stretch out his arm and scratch Chu Taosheng from a distance, open his mouth, and let out a gurgling sound of upper and lower teeth biting, especially the pair of eyes that were already swollen, one of the eyeballs had been shrugged out of the eye socket, and the only remaining eye was flashing with bloodthirsty red light, which was completely the appearance of a beast in clothes seeing its prey.
Chu Taosheng stood still, observing the "person" for a long time, recalling in his mind all the human diseases encountered after the plague when he occasionally walked in the world over the years, and determined that this was not any kind of plague that he had ever encountered.
He walked over slowly, crouching down beside the crack, staring at the human who was still struggling.
"He" sensed the approaching food, stretched out his hands and grabbed hard, grabbing, grabbing, grabbing!
"He" opened his mouth and let out a deathly sobbing and threatening sound, as if it were coming from a broken bellows.
Chu Taosheng looked at the arm waving half an arm away from him, and the dry black and thin hand made him suddenly think of a dish that humans like to eat...... Roasted chicken feet in sauce!
"What are you doing...... Chu Taosheng frowned unnaturally, was he polluted by the two little fools of Peaches and Trouble, and he could still think of food in this case.
Originally, I wanted to have a deeper understanding of "his" terrifying appearance, but I didn't bother to study it now.
He conjured up a branch in his hand, stirred up "his" arm, looked at the stiffness and reaction speed, pried open "his" mouth to see the breathing and swallowing reactions, and even plucked the blood-red eyeballs under "his" eyelids to test his spirit.
The facial expressions of his behavior are like a novelty, and he is carefully observing "his" reaction with the mentality of studying and playing.
"He" was instantly sluggish, and his already narrow thinking brain circuit was directly caught in a dead loop, and his mind was full of what this human being was doing?
It took several breaths for "he" to realize that he had been teased by his target's prey...... was actually pinched and kneaded by his own "food" at will, which made "he" feel ashamed of being violated.
So, I saw "he" belly agitation, a strange sound came from his throat, and then he opened his mouth suddenly, and a group of pink insects flew out densely, and while Chu Taosheng didn't have time to dodge, he covered Chu Taosheng's whole body in the blink of an eye.
The pink bugs made a chirping sound and squirmed and crawled on Chu Taosheng's body, their thin mouths trying to bite open his skin, burrow into his body, and devour all the flesh.
The next moment, Chu Taosheng stood up, the branch in his hand turned into a folding fan, and fanned himself lightly, only to see a large number of pink insects falling from his body one after another, revealing a layer of protective glow covering his whole body below.
He held a bug in his hand and took it closer to observe.
The body is about the size of a broad bean, with sharp sucking mouthparts on the head and no compound eyes on the head......
There was a "bump" explosion, and before he could take a closer look, the pink bugs exploded, becoming a stream of pink powder that floated away.
Chu Taosheng had already flashed out when the insects exploded, and by the time the pink powder began to spread, he had already retreated to a safe distance.
Seeing that the pink powder was blown away by a gust of wind and was about to drift into the forest, the folding fan in his hand turned into a brush, and a spirit pattern was drawn in the void in the air, "Spirit pattern, swallow the word!"
A flickering spirit pattern was pointed into the ground, and in the next moment, the ground arched upward, and a plant sprang out, and quickly sprouted and sprouted and grew leaves, and finally turned into a huge ...... taller than a person, with a thick waistline, and covered tendrils hanging from the top Nepenthes.
Nepenthes twisted its thick waist and spread rapidly towards the edge of the forest, and then quickly covered the growth of large areas after it arrived, and when it was basically the same as the range of powder diffusion, countless Nepenthes opened their tendrils to aim at the powder, and the tendrils fat abdomen contracted and squirmed, and a powerful suction force came out of it, absorbing all the powder into the tendrils in the blink of an eye.
Then the pitcher plant contracted and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally returned to the initial foot, leaving only a pitcher plant, which opened the tendrils towards Chu Taosheng and rolled out a pink bead from it.
Chu Taosheng pinched the beads, but he didn't see any movement, the beads were gone, and the pitcher plant on the ground completed the task and automatically shrank back into the ground.
If you don't look at the large holes that emerge from the ground, no one can imagine that not long ago, a large area of pitcher plants grew here.
Chu Taosheng's gaze swept over the struggling "him", and he couldn't distinguish it from his face, but judging from his clothes, "he" used to be a villager in Zhangjia Village.
The fan in Chu Taosheng's hand tapped lightly in the palm of his hand, and he swept across the village with half-squinted eyes, not wanting to stay, but this forced him to explore.
