"Human beings are inherently small, in front of nature, and even in front of this world, we are just a drop in the ocean...... Hao Yang also sighed on the side.

But I don't have the leisure of them to talk about the philosophy of life. Looking at the still-unabated torrent in front of me, I couldn't help but wonder what we were going to do next. Although Li Zhisheng and I can quickly reach the destination by using our abilities, it will consume a lot of strength, and if anything happens in the future, I am afraid that ......

Thinking about it, I made a mistake, sat on the branch of the big tree, and looked at the flood in front of me.

After a while, the sky gradually cleared and the flood slowly subsided. The once lush forests had become a mess, with only a few towering trees barely surviving the catastrophe. The ground was covered with soft yellow mud and the remains of trees uprooted by the flood.

Looking at the sun overhead, which had begun to shift to the west, I knew that time was running out, and if I didn't rush to the village as soon as possible to find a way to save Hao Yang, I was afraid that his life would be ......

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I felt, but now that the flood had just passed, the ground was impossible to walk on, and there was soft soil everywhere, which might have caused us to fall into it.

Li Zhisheng on the side saw that I was worried, so he comforted me and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a way." ”

But at this time, Hao Yang on the side did not seem worried, he peeled off a large piece of thick bark from the big tree under his feet, tinkered with it in his hand and said, "We can use this." ”

With that, he threw the bark to me. I took the bark and immediately understood what he meant, and it turned out that he had tied his shoes to the bark with shoelaces and made them into something like snowshoes.

"Yes, why didn't I think of ......" I said, I asked Li Zhisheng to follow Hao Yang's example and peel off the bark and tie it to his shoes, so as to increase the contact area with the mud, which can effectively prevent us from sinking.

Just as we were making "snowshoes", Li Zhisheng suddenly beckoned me to come and see it. I stepped forward, only to see a red snail appear where the bark had been removed, and a bloody slime was left behind the snail, like a blood stain.

"Do you think it has anything to do with the red firefly?" Li Zhisheng asked.

I felt a little strange, but I didn't understand what it had to do with the blood-colored firefly, so I said, "Why do snails have something to do with fireflies?" ”

"Don't you know," he explained. Fireflies grow up eating snails, and if the snail is abnormal, it is likely that the firefly will eat the mutated snail and the same mutation will occur...... And then you think about what snails eat......"

When he said this, I realized that I didn't know anything about the habits of these creatures, so I shook my head helplessly and said tentatively, "Eat leaves? ”

"You're not wrong to say that, but it's more accurate to say that snails eat the leaves of some crops, so they're pests to crops."

Now I understood what Li Zhisheng wanted to express, and suddenly realized: "Are you saying that the vegetables grown by the blood farmer were eaten by the snail, and then the fireflies ate the snails, which led to the appearance of blood-colored fireflies?!" ”

"If I'm correct, it should be like this......" Li Zhisheng replied thoughtfully.

At this time, Hao Yang on the side had already made his snowshoes, and he slowly moved from the other end of the branch and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Hearing this, I pointed to the wriggling red snail in front of me and said, "That's why there are red fireflies." ”

Hao Yang seemed to have understood, he nodded slightly, and said, "In this way, the matter of the blood farmer is true. ”

"Now whether it's true or not, we're going to go to that village and see who made these harmful things!" I said viciously.

After that, Li Zhisheng and I also made "snowshoes", and the three of us carefully climbed down from the treetops. Standing on the muddy ground, the thick bark under our feet really had a good effect, effectively preventing us from falling into the mud, although it was a little difficult to walk, but it was better than being drowned in the yellow mud.

In this way, we made our way through the dirt, and in a short time, we reached the top of the mountain. The mountain is not very high, but there is a large lake on the top of the mountain, which seems to be the source of the flash flood.

Continuing around the lake at the top of the mountain, we soon left the place washed by the torrent, and since the ground was much better, the "snowshoes" made of tree bark became a burden.

So, we removed the bark from the soles of our shoes and walked through the dense mountain forest. At this time, I noticed that there were blood-red marks everywhere around the mountain forest, which seemed to be left by the red snails crawling past. Due to the sheer number of red "footprints", it is very uncomfortable to look at.

But now I don't have the leisure to observe these "footprints" anymore, because the sun has gradually set, and the sky is gradually getting darker, my heart can't help but be clenched.

If it was night, maybe that damn thing on Hao Yang's body would attack again, and then there would be nothing to save him again. Thinking about it, I subconsciously quickened my pace......

I don't know how long I walked, but the sun had almost completely set, and only the little afterglow still hung in the sky.

At this moment, I faintly saw a wisp of green smoke rising not far ahead, and along with the smoke, several windows with candle flames also came into view.

"The front should be it, quick!" I urged Li Zhisheng and helped Hao Yang to walk forward quickly.

In a few moments, we came to the front, and in front of us were a few low, thatched houses, and smoke was rising from the roofs. At this moment, an old man came out of a thatched hut in front of him, and he walked to the well by the house with a wooden bucket in his hand, and threw the bucket on a rope into the well, as if he was about to fetch water.

Seeing this, I didn't think much about it, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask him if he knew anything about the blood farmer. But as soon as I got closer, I noticed that the old man in front of me was a little familiar.

"This is not the ...... of the vegetable market," Hao Yang whispered to the side.

Although Hao Yang's voice was very small, it was still heard by the old man, and he raised his head when he heard it. As soon as he saw me, he was stunned, and the bucket he had just pulled up fell into the well again with a "poof".

He held out his hand tremblingly and said, "You, how did you come here?!" ”

I didn't know how to answer him for a while, but now I already knew in my heart that he was most likely a blood farmer. Thinking of this, I became angry, pointed at him and said, "Okay, you blood farmer!" It's really harmful...... Today I'm going to get rid of you as a scourge! ”

As I spoke, my eyes suddenly lit up with a fierce light, and at the same time, I let go of Hao Yang and held Jiang Ling tightly in my hand......
