Roses have thorns, silver springs have mud, the sun and the moon are cloudy and sunny, and the buds are often eaten by maggots.

Cross this valley of death and continue on. The road ahead is no different, it just gets more and more yellow.

The sun was still very hot in the afternoon, everyone put blankets and beast clothes and armor on their heads, and walked forward silently, Xia Fan lost the interest in singing and chanting poetry.

The sun was about to set, and the clouds were still wandering freely, but the heavy rain suddenly came. The weather on the grassland can change as it is said. In a corner of the sky, under the heavy dark clouds, a torrential rain suddenly poured, as if someone had inadvertently poked a big hole in the sky, so the water in the huge basin in the sky poured down instantly. It's as if I want to wash everything in heaven and earth.

The heavy rain smashed heavily into the grassland, and all the animals had nowhere to hide, so on this empty land, some bowed their heads to bear the sudden attack of the torrential rain, and some hurried eagerly, including Xia Fan and his party.

This rain is bigger than the rain at the beginning of the Seven Deadly Sins, and even more outrageous than the rain in Vietnam in Forrest Gump's main story, which is not just from the top and bottom, from the rain, the rain of this era is simply pervasive, south, south, north, west, up and down, left and right. The rain here is cold, and it's not yet winter, but it people like needles. There was even a small amount of hail, which was not big, but it hurt a lot. The thunder male and electric mother have come out, face the wind!

There is still lightning in the distance, and from time to time it strikes the earth like a lightning whip, popping and bang, a lightning five whips, bright as silk, piercing into the earth, like magic lighting up the world. Dark clouds overwhelmed the realm, lightning and thunder, and the whole time was as terrifying as the end of the world.

Xia Fan and the others hurriedly ran forward, Xiaoyu was the fastest, riding a giant elk on the grassland. Ran forward, turned back and forth, said that it was not far ahead to find a big hole, Xia Fan's speed was the slowest, the pig beast was already very competitive, it was not willing to get drenched in the rain, it sped up, and finally came to Xiaoyu to find the hole, a loud roar can be transmitted far away, it is obvious that it is very big inside, and there are many sounds in it, as if there are some animals in it, but there are absolutely no giant animals.

didn't find anything unusual, Xia Fan and his party hurriedly went in, tidying up their wet self, everyone was tidying up themselves, including Xiaoyu, the ancients had no shame, but Xia Fan still had it, Xia Fan quickly turned his head to look at the tiger and leopard, they shook the water of the beast clothes on their bodies, and basically sat naked on the ground. Each one is very strong, the muscle lines are obvious, and the body that often works and hunts without eating sea cucumbers is different, unlike Xia Fan's ninety-nine and one-in-one abdominal muscles.

The elk and the pig beast also found a place to hide from the rain at the entrance of the cave, Xia Fan took the nose rope of the pig pig beast and fixed it on the ground with a wooden stake, and hurriedly walked into the hole. It was nice that the elk didn't run at all, shook off the rain, and found a place to lie on its stomach.

The Joy Wolf came in last, with a half-sized animal in his mouth, and he shook off the water from his body, coming the latest, but completing the process of changing from wet to dry as soon as possible, and crawling beside Xiaoyu.

At this time, the strange sounds in the valley came into the ears, making the already wet body colder, and the original sound and emotions can make people colder by a few degrees, so as to achieve a state that the animal body can't stand it.

Xia Fan grabbed his wet hair, and actually grabbed a handful, Xia Fan had never lost his hair before. A few of them are okay, some of them have a lot of hair, and some of them are bald at all, it doesn't matter.

The wood around the cave is very damp, fortunately there are some dry animal feces in the cave, slowly light the fire, and then slowly ignite the damp wood, it took a lot of effort, and finally made a fire, as soon as the fire was lit, it was completely different, the fire lit up everyone's heart, so that everyone was a little better, and the light also lit up half of the cave, everyone sat around, chatting to keep warm. Xin began to prepare to eat, first soil cakes and dried meat, Dan boiled what herbs for everyone, mixed with the dried meat and ate the hot soup in the stomach, the taste was like prunella grass with ginger, mountain pepper stewed together, very compound herbal flavor, but drank into the stomach, felt a lot better, Xin quickly dealt with the wolf brought back the half-big beast by the cave, inserted it in the coals and slowly roasted, the fire was very small, it took a long time to roast. The smoke spread over the cave, and there was a pause above, but it soon fell silent.

The sound of various animals coming from the valley was not small, and the rain was louder, but there was also a sound overhead, although it was not loud, Xia Fan thought that it might be a bat, but he didn't care.

The cave was bored, Xia Fan saw that they couldn't sleep for a while, so he said to tell you a story about the seaside, the one-eyed dragon was the first to come to the spirit, came over and sat next to everyone, the turtle was also very interested, Dan and Xin liked Xia Fan, that is, their prophet very much, whether it was singing or chanting, or telling stories, of course, they were willing to listen, pigs and leopards didn't want to listen, so they went to sleep over there with their heads in their hands, although they were soaked, they could also sleep.

"Then I'll tell you the story of a young man and her mother-in-law, in another world, there is a country near the sea, have you ever seen the sea?" Xia Fan said.

"The sea, what sea?"

"It's a much larger surface than any lake you've ever seen, and if there are big fish there, our entire Eastern Wilderness tribe will be enough to eat."

"I've seen the sea you said." "I lived by the sea when I was a kid," he said.

"Then I'll start talking, a long, long time ago, there was a young man who fished for a living on the seaside, and one day he saw a stranded big fish on the seaside, and the big fish was dying, and he wanted to drag the big fish home, but the big fish actually spoke: If you put me back in the sea, I will definitely repay you. How can you repay it, the young man asked. Now I don't have anything else, you take a few of my scales and go home, you'll be useful later. The young man took off the scales of the fish and pulled the big fish back to the sea, and the big fish said that every year on the night of the full moon, you come to this beach, and say to the sea that there is a big fish, and I will come to see you. When the young man returned home, he found that the scales in his hand had turned into silver flakes, so he changed his boat, and made a house by his own hands by cutting wood, and built a sheltered and warm house by the sea, like a tent, a tent that was more comfortable than a tent, and took an aunt, but this aunt was a greedy person, and always complained that the young man did not give him a better house and food. One night, it was the night of the full moon, the young man came to this beach and called for the big fish, the big fish appeared, and said what do you want, the young man said I don't need anything, that is, the woman in the family always blames me for not being able to give her a better life, the big fish said so, you get into my stomach, go and cut a little of my heart, my heart is made of gold, more valuable than silver, the young man said then you will hurt, the big fish said it doesn't matter, you come. The young man really cut a little bit of the heart of the fish in the belly of the fish, because he was afraid that the big fish would hurt, just little by little. Watching the big fish turn over and jump back into the sea, the young man was still very guilty. All this was seen by the young man's mother-in-law, who one day drunk the young man, and tricked out the secret and mantra of his mouth, knowing that on the night of the full moon he could go to the big fish. It was also a full moon night, and this aunt was drunk with youth again, and came to this beach alone: Big fish, big fish, where are you. The big fish appeared, surprised, and asked who the woman was, and the woman said that it was the young man's mother-in-law. The big fish hesitated for a while, or let the woman into her stomach, the woman looked at the heart of the big fish, golden, greedy, directly knife, half of the heart was cut off, the big fish was in pain, tossed and turned in the sea, the sea water into the stomach, the aunt was drowned. The big fish also died, swam back to the deep sea, and never appeared in this shallow sea again. ”

After Xia Fan finished speaking, look at everyone's expressions, Xiaoyu kept holding her head and listening carefully, she was really a good student, her leather boots were placed by the fire, her leather clothes were hung in the appropriate place for the fire, and she was draped in a beast blanket. There was no shortage of people who listened carefully, Xin and Dan listened the most, and the one-eyed dragon smoked a broken cigarette thoughtfully.

Although they may not understand it well, but after sweeping away today's encounter in Death Valley and the heavy rain just now, people have other consciousness and direction, and even the diversion of attention can relieve the fatigue of this endless journey a little.

The pig and the leopard were already snoring, and the two of them were like teasing and teasing, one after another, quite rhythmically.

The meat was cooked, Xin called the sleepy ones to get up and eat together, and everyone took a while before they slowly calmed down, and today they were a little tired, and they all squinted and began to rest. Xia Fan was paying attention to what the one-eyed dragon was doing, and there was nothing unusual about him. It's business as usual.

But something above me was getting louder and louder, and it was uncomfortable to know that I was asking for it. Just now the sound of the rain was loud, and I didn't feel that the sound on my head was strange and uneasy, but now the sound of the rain outside the cave gradually became smaller, and I clearly felt the sound above my head, the light was unknown just now, and now the fire slowly got bigger, and the light was bright, and I looked up, and there was a large area of black pressure, and this large area of bats made people quite uneasy.

Xia Fan took a good look at this cave, this hole is not small, and its head is covered with a small animal, a bat-like animal that is trembling.

Why is it the same, because it is very sure that it is not a bat, it is indeed upside down, black and gray, with wings, their true appearance is not clear, they are high in the cave, the color of the cave is very similar, and the light is also dim, Xia Fan observed the few closest to everyone's sight, some of them licked each other's fur, some were using their long mouthparts to pass black liquid to each other, and some were spitting out the things in their mouths to feed the small ones.

Some of them were after they met in pairs, and then one of them bit off each other's head coldly, and black blood dripped down, not far from everyone.

The few who didn't fall asleep were also surprised, and Xiaoyu's eyes widened: "Oh my God, brother, have you seen it, prophet?" ”

Xia Fan nodded, and the tigers, leopards, and bears also looked at each other.

All living things will die, that's for sure, and they must have their own reproduction strategies, that is, quantity and quality, seeking space and time, and the strategy is reproduction and immortality, but the way of survival of this animal really makes Xia Fan and them uncomfortable, much like some insects, eating mates, in order to find the most accessible protein in nature, that is, the body of the male, and pass on the genes to the next generation, such as some spiders and praying mantises.

But it is obvious that they are higher animals, not insects, they still chose this way of mating and transmission in natural selection, and one of them calmly died, which made Xia Fan and them more and more surprised that there was something wrong here, this hole was too weird.

The black-gray creature was also amazed, and within an hour it could be seen that after eating the other's head, it soon gave birth to a light-colored egg in the lower part, and dragged the liquid, and it dragged its egg through the herd to climb up, and came to a high place, and cocked what was considered a butt, and gave the egg to a slightly lighter-colored, but much larger bat, which looked terrible, like venom crawling into the body of a bat. Venom entering the human body is terrifying, and entering the body of a bat is really a sight to behold, and people want to see it. Its face somewhat resembles that of Hannibal in a mask.

Xia Fan thought: 'If it were Darwin, he would stay in this cave for a year and a half.' ’

But now Xia Fan is a little afraid to stay. This much larger bat emitted: With its Mo, with its Mo~ sound, and then stretched out a black needle, stabbing at the egg, I don't know what it means, after a while, the small bat slowly retreated, and the others also had similar actions.

Dan moved closer to Xia Fan and said to Xia Fan very seriously: "Lord Prophet, this animal must be poisonous. ”

In Xia Fan's knowledge system, this animal is not only poisonous, but also has germs that you don't know.

Viruses actually appeared in this world many years before humans and humans.

Many diseases in human history are brought by such similar animals, they are actually just hosts or poison bridges, they have been mutating, and the hosts are also mutating, and they have actually maintained a balance for a long time, but the more they go to the back, the speed of mutation of these germs is actually artificially accelerated, because humans have broken this balance.

Under the wrath of nature, intentional or unintentional changes, in the end, only human beings themselves can bear this kind of harm, this kind of harm is caused by human beings themselves, human beings have been harming themselves, harming their own kind, harming the enemy country, this is human nature, is not this the case with 731 and 1644 decades ago.

Some time ago, the biological laboratory set up by the United States in a puppet country was to study viruses.

Humans are arrogant, jealous, angry, lazy, greedy, gluttonous, lustful, and kill each other.

There are many people of the same kind who have come to the human world once, but in the end they only made the main trunk, and the branches were all discarded or absorbed.

Xia Fan joined the process of history and evolution by chance, and I don't know if it has been accelerated or slowed down, whether it is good or bad, and what kind of results it will bring to future generations. Xia Fan didn't dare to think about this cause and effect, Xia Fan really hated that he brought too little modern knowledge, only hated that his brain development was too small, my brain is estimated to be only 5%, it is said that most of the human brain development is not more than 10%, if 100% of the development, it will happen very interesting, maybe you will find the meaning of eternal life.

From beginning to end, Black stared up as if he could see something. He didn't raise his head Xia Fan didn't notice it, Hei took off half of his mask, and his appearance in the hole was still not clear because it was too dark, but Hei's nose hair was really ridiculously long, longer than the Xing Ye competition, and thicker than the nose hair in Ling Ling's hair.

Hei basically didn't say a word along the way, and Xia Fan didn't say anything to him, so ask him later. I only felt that the obsidian knife on Hei's body was becoming more and more weird against the background of the flames in the cave.
