Chapter 286: Mountain Stream (Second Update)
I looked in the direction of Li Zhisheng's finger, and saw a bright red branch bud growing on Hao Yang's arm, which was only the size of a thumb, and it was still swaying with the wind when it was blown by the wind.
Seeing this, my heart suddenly cooled half, and looking at Hao Yang who was sluggish in front of me, I became a little helpless for a while, because I didn't know how to deal with this situation at all.
At this time, the fireflies that had not been eliminated not far away had been pouring out from afar, and those fireflies were continuing to gather in the direction where we were, and we were about to form that overwhelming swarm again.
At this moment, a light lit up in the sky, and the sun was gradually rising from the side of the mountain. I looked at the rising sun and for some reason there was a glimmer of hope in my heart.
As the sun gradually rose, those fireflies began to die when they were illuminated by the sun, falling from the sky one after another, and in an instant it was like a rain of blood.
Seeing this, I breathed a sigh of relief, stabilized my mind, and slowly put away the power of the void.
"Looks like these damn bugs can't see the light of day." Li Zhisheng muttered to himself on the side, and at the same time looked at Hao Yang, who was still motionless, worriedly.
At this moment, I heard several violent coughs suddenly coming from Hao Yang's body, and then, a stream of blood spit out of his mouth. And the red branches and buds in his hands, because of the sunlight, began to wither and blacken.
After a while, the blackened branch fell from Hao Yang's hand, but there was a hole in his hand that was not too big or small.
"Hao Yang, how are you?" I asked with concern.
Hao Yang calmed down, gasped and said, "Just now, a bug flew into my mouth while I wasn't paying attention, and then I couldn't move...... It's much better now, though, but ......," he said, coughing a few more times in quick succession, and with the cough, he vomited some blood.
"But what? Do you still think there's anything out of the ordinary? I asked.
On the side, Li Zhisheng interjected: "Don't worry about asking him first, you see that he is not easy to talk like he is now, let him rest first." ”
As I spoke, I nodded, and together with Li Zhisheng, I helped Hao Yang to sit down on the steps on the side of the street.
After resting for a while, Hao Yang seemed to have improved, and he said: "Although I can move now, I still feel as if there is something in my body, but due to the sunlight during the day, that thing seems to be temporarily suppressed. ”
As he spoke, he shook the hem of his trousers, and a few black shoots fell out of his trouser legs as he shook them.
"So it's possible that something in your body will still attack at night?!"
"I don't know, I can just feel its existence......" Hao Yang touched his chest uneasily, looking palpitating.
It seems that this blood-colored firefly is like a seed, it may enter the body through the seven orifices of a person, and then take root and sprout, but for some reason it is afraid of sunlight, it cannot grow during the day, and even dies......
Thinking about it, I pondered for a moment and said to Hao Yang: "Since you can feel that something is still in the body, it means that it has not been eliminated, if it is allowed to remain in the body, it will become a big disaster, it is better to find a way to relieve it as soon as possible." ”
"To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell, and we will find this bug wherever it came from."
Seeing that Li Zhisheng and I wanted to go together, he said, "Since we all understand, let's hurry up now...... Hao Yang, how are you doing? Can you still walk? ”
Hao Yang nodded and said, "Well, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine for the time being." ”
With that, the three of us got up and hit the road. At this time, a large number of blood-colored firefly corpses had piled up on the road, and the whole street seemed to be covered with a huge red carpet.
Stepping on the corpses of those fireflies, I felt an indescribable awkwardness in my heart, fearing that those insects might come back to life and attack us. The more I thought about it, the more panicked I felt, and I couldn't help but quicken my pace.
In a short time, we reached the exit south of the town. Looking back, the whole town was shrouded in blood, the streets were empty, and there was no sound all around, and what was once a somewhat lively town has now become a real ghost town.
"Hey, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." As I was sighing to myself, I suddenly felt that the sky was starting to get darker.
When I looked up, I saw a large dark cloud hanging over the sky, and I saw that heavy rain was coming.
"Let's go, don't look at it, we will walk the mountain road in a while, and it will be even more difficult to walk in heavy rain." Li Zhisheng urged in front. After hearing this, I didn't plan to stay any longer, so I caught up with Li Zhisheng and Hao Yang not far away.
Then the three of us left the town and followed the trail up the hill. But as soon as I got up the mountain, I realized that although the mountain did not look steep, it was even relatively gentle, but when I actually walked up on my own, I realized that the mountain path was not only steep, but also the ground was loose with gravel, and if I was not careful, I would slide down.
During this period, Hao Yang almost slipped down the mountain many times because of a leg injury, causing him to have to hold on to the small trees and shrubs on the side and walk forward with difficulty. And since Li Zhisheng only has one hand, it is already a little difficult for him to maintain his balance, and he has no way to free his hand to help Hao Yang. As for me, I can barely support Hao Yang, and at the same time, I have to take care of my own balance.
In this way, the three of us struggled along the mountain road. I don't know how long I walked, a lightning bolt suddenly flashed in the air, followed by a burst of thunder "boom~" that shook us all over.
Seeing the thunder, Li Zhisheng said on the side, "Didn't you say that you can't stay under the tree when it rains and thunders?" Look around us, there are trees, will they be ......?"
Before Li Zhisheng finished speaking, we saw a thunderbolt struck a tree less than 100 meters away from us, and in an instant, the big tree more than three people high ignited a raging fire, and then there was a thunder of "boom~", which rang in our ears.
Seeing this, I was so frightened that I took a few steps back one after another, slipped under my feet and almost rolled down the mountain with Hao Yang.
I grabbed a small tree on the side, panted in shock, glanced at Li Zhisheng next to me and said angrily: "Let me tell you, your crow's mouth must have been opened by the Buddha, please don't talk nonsense anymore, otherwise we don't know how we died!" ”
Before I could accuse him, Li Zhisheng had already consciously closed his lips and kept nodding at me, and it seemed that he was also a little scared.
At this moment, the rain poured down, and the raindrops the size of beans kept hitting the leaves overhead, and suddenly the originally quiet woods resounded, and the mountain road under our feet, which was already difficult to walk, became more slippery and difficult to walk because of the rain......
