Chapter 3: Strange Flowers

The vegetation of this forest seems to grow very tall, and the thick and tall giant trees are the habitat and living places of countless creatures.

Birds with pale yellow feathers can be seen flying around the trees, occasionally picking up a writhing worm as food for the early morning.

The tree's green, dense foliage was covered with dew, and a brief light rain fell on the tree, whether it was an animal walking or a breeze floating.

Ning Hao was woken up by such a light rain.

The night before, the exhausted Ning Hao didn't know how long he had been running, and he was extremely empty in physical strength and spirit, but he finally collapsed.

Ning Hao, who was in a coma, seemed to have returned to the days of a few days ago, in his sleep, the big mouse pushed himself in front of him, and a gurgling rat's milk was drunk into his body, fishy and sticky.

"Why doesn't it taste the same today?" Ning Hao thought in a daze.

He opened his little eyes and saw the towering trees all around, and the sunlight shining through the cracks, as if he was in a dream palace.

"Where is this?"

Ning Hao turned his body over, and suddenly felt that the fluff all over his body was wet, so he shook his body and threw the dew on his body around.

The movements are skillful, as if they were made in nature.

He remembered that last night in order to avoid the pursuit of the green snake, he ran to a place in a panic, and now he looked at the endless green and deep around him, and his heart swelled with confusion.

"Gollum... Gollum..."

Ning Hao rubbed his stomach, he didn't seem to have eaten anything for a long time.

"Gollum..."

The voice sounded again, but Ning Hao found that it was not coming from himself.

There was liquid dripping on his head again, and he subconsciously touched it with his paws.

No, it's not dew, it's heavy and viscous, and there's a faint fishy smell in it.

Ning Hao raised his head and looked up and saw a bright and unusual flower.

This flower was much bigger than the current Ning Haodu, and the huge petals were tightly gathered together, as if it was just a budding flower bone.

It's just that this flower bone seems to be a little strange, the eye-piercing red, as if blood is going to flow out at any time.

From time to time, the petals will shake and rub for a moment, as if there is something in the petals.

"It's like a 'stomach'. Ning Hao's heart suddenly swelled with such a feeling, he saw that there was liquid flowing out of the branches of the flower, and he couldn't help but stretch out his front paws and dip it.

Something that should have been seen for the first time has a wonderful sense of familiarity. Sticking out his tongue and licking it, Ning Hao finally knew where this familiarity came from.

He remembered the scene in his dream last night, the feeling of a gurgling milk being swallowed by himself, and it turned out that he had drunk this kind of thing all night.

The petals shook again, this time as if something had fallen.

It was a white bone of an unknown animal, which had been digested to the point where it could not be seen in its original shape, and when it fell on the grass, the green grass around it melted away like a candle.

Ning Hao felt a churn in his stomach, not because of any physical discomfort, but from the soul of a 28-year-old human being, so that he subconsciously couldn't accept all this.

Cannibal flowers!

That's what the world used to be called.

Ning Hao had seen this creature on the Internet, and the huge petals in front of him gradually overlapped with the images in his memory, he remembered that this plant would emit an extremely strong smell, why didn't he smell it?

"I drank the secretions of man-eating flowers all night. Thankfully, it doesn't spit out digestive juices. ”

Ning Hao looked at the broken bones that had fallen and were corroded to the point of indistinction, this was an animal much bigger than himself. At the same time, the scene of countless stumps, internal organs, and fur mixed together came to my mind, and I only felt sick for a while.

I retched for a while, but nothing came out.

Those fluids have long been absorbed by the body and turned into nutrients that are transported to countless cells. Otherwise, why was Ning Hao, who had been running wildly all night, wake up in such a short time and still feel radiant?

Not knowing why he could stay alive after a night under the cannibal flower, Ning Hao didn't dare to stay for a while now.

Ning Hao, who was nervous, didn't think much about it.

It's good to survive.

Running through the damp woods, he noticed that the strength of his limbs had increased, and his endurance was much stronger than yesterday.

Not far after running away, the rat felt hungry.

Although he saw many rotting animal carcasses on the road, not to mention whether he could swallow that kind of raw meat, even if he could, watching the whining flying insects and flies gathered on it, Ning Hao generously decided not to snatch their feast.

In the end, Ning Hao had a goal, it was a tree that had never been seen before, and many red and green fruits were dotted on it, like a huge Christmas tree.

After looking at the tree for a while, Ning Hao decided to go up to the tree and pick a few to taste.

As for whether he can eat it, he is not worried, because at this time, several squirrel-like animals are holding fruits on the tree and gnawing on them, and at this moment, they are eating the fruit while looking at Ning Hao under the tree curiously.

"No matter, I'm starving!"

Ning Hao tried to lift his upper body, but found that it was still a little difficult to stand upright with his current body.

He put his forelimbs on the tree, his delicate paws clasped the wrinkled bark, and with a slight effort, he climbed up with great ease.

"Haha, Lao Tzu is a genius!"

The first time a mouse climbed a tree, it was a perfect success! Ning Hao couldn't wait to shout in his heart. Perhaps because the body is too small now, Ning Hao can easily pose a series of modeling actions on the tree trunk.

In his previous life, he had done a lot of things about going up the mountain to dig birds' eggs when he was a child, but with the transformation of the city, countless green mountains and green waters have become high-rise buildings, and Ning Hao has not been able to experience this natural taste for a long time.

The rat circled around the tree and finally came to rest on a branch.

The green and red fruits were full of fullness, and there was a faint burst of aroma, which made Ning Hao have a great appetite.

"There's a bug on this one, don't! That's it. Ning Hao held the fruit that was about the same size as himself, opened his mouth and bit it.

"Big Mom. Ning Hao muttered evilly.

A third of the water-filled fruit was eaten in one go, and Ning Hao felt that the flesh was full of aroma, and the rich nutrients rushed to his entire body in an instant.

Just as he was about to continue tasting, Ning Hao felt a tremor coming from under him.

Ning Hao raised his mouse face full of juice and found that it was those squirrel-like animals, who were standing at the other end of the branch, tilting their heads to look at him.

"Go, go, go, don't disturb the uncle's dinner. Ning Hao waved his hand in a dashing manner, didn't bother with those little animals, and prepared to continue enjoying the food.

The shaking was so strong that Ning Hao and the fruit in his hands were bounced high by the shaking branches.

"Eh, I'll go!"

Ning Hao saw that the squirrels were bouncing rhythmically on the other branch.

"What are you doing, be careful that Lao Tzu eats you, stop, stop, the hero spares his life!"

Ning Hao finally bounced high from the branch, turned into a rounded arc, and fell under the tree.

I don't know if it was because of drinking the liquid of the piranha flower, but he found that his fur was much harder than yesterday.

Ning Hao sat up from the ground, looking at the small animal on the branch that was still tilting his head and looking at him, and felt angry.

"You kind of don't move there!"

Ning Hao was ready to climb the tree and teach those little things a lesson that they would never forget.

"Forget it, for your sake, I'm not like you. ”

Ning Hao gave up halfway because he saw more and more small animals that looked very similar to each other appearing in the trees.

Bang! Bang!

I saw that each of these animals picked up a fruit and smashed it towards Ning Hao. The sky was red and green, as if it was raining.

Although his body was very small, Ning Hao still hit him a few times, and fell down from such a tall tree, and his painful mouse face wrinkled.

"Didn't you just eat your fruit, and as for you, did you plant this tree?"

"What bad luck!"

Ning Hao was dizzy from being smashed, and he couldn't run away in one direction indiscriminately.

"Why are you back here?"

Walking through the towering giant trees, Ning Hao found himself once again back to the place where he slept last night.

"Do you want to be with that cannibal flower?"

Ning Hao looked at the giant flower and found that it was a little different from the morning.

At this moment, the petals have been fully opened, and the huge petals like a fan are flickering and fanning, and in the center is a cluster of yellow and red stamens, constantly exuding a charming fragrance.

Isn't this a man-eating flower?

Ning Hao muttered in his heart, and was about to step forward to take a look.

Suddenly, a pair of amber eyes appeared from behind the tree, a narrow face covered with dirty short hair, and a puff of white gas from the damp nose from time to time.

Wolf?

"I'll go, there are wolves in this jungle?"

Ning Hao felt that the fear of last night had enveloped him again, and he trembled all over, unable to help himself.

"You can't see me, you can't see me. ”

The rat hid itself in the grass and shivered.

The wolf looked in the direction where Ning Hao was hiding, and seemed to have some doubts about the grass.

But it seemed that the fragrance of the flower attracted the wolf even more, and I saw it follow the fragrance to the blooming flower, and suck the breath in a circle.

A scene that made Ning Hao numb appeared.

The stamens of the flower suddenly stretched out strangely, like tentacles, writhing strangely in the air.

And the wolf didn't seem to notice anything, still breathing in the aroma with his eyes closed.

The slender stamens were like earthworms, writhing and climbing onto the animal's body, but the wolf seemed to have lost its soul, without any struggle, allowing itself to be slowly lifted by the stamens.

As the stamen of the flower is withdrawn, the petals instantly converge together, bright red and dazzling, like a beautiful gift box.
