"Hurry and help me bring Xiaojiu back, it's trapped in those mucus!"
Looking at Liao Fan who came to help, Meng Yao was greatly surprised and immediately let out a low cry.
"I know, please step back quickly."
Liao Fan nodded, then swooped down towards the place where the Nine-Fragrance Insect was trapped. He stretched out his left arm and grabbed the Nine-Fragrance Insect with his claws.
At the same time, the noise in the water became more intense, condensing into dustpan-sized whirlpools. Within the whirlpools, tongues spurted out one after another, and the long exploding tongues were like dense webs of spider silk, covering Liao Fan's entire body.
"strangeness……"
Liao Fan narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the giant blue frogs that were attacking him crazily. His eyes flashed slightly, and at the same time he turned the blade and slashed horizontally!
Whoosh!
The black blade light condensed and forcibly split open the large number of rolled tongues. At the same time, a red flame containing high temperature traveled along with the blade, stretching out a wave of fire that broke through the air.
The flames burned the giant blue frog's tongue, scalding the monsters to howl and quickly retreat into the water.
Liao Fan took out another knife, and the flames followed the blade and separated the water flow, extending a vacuum area of more than five meters in length in the water.
The high temperature continued to spread, boiling the water surface, and a hazy water vapor swept across, covering most of the water surface.
The giant blue frogs could not withstand such manic flames and heat, so they dived into the water one after another and stopped their attack.
Liao Fan grabbed the Nine-Fragrant Insect, flew upside down, and landed on the ground again. While retreating, he said to Meng Yao,
"Get out of here first!"
"good."
Meng Yao took the nine-scented insect and found that the surface of the nine-scented insect was covered with a large amount of white mucus. This mucus was like glue, which made the nine-scented insect lose its ability to fly and was trapped on the leaf.
Needless to say, the thing that spits out this slime is the giant blue frog in the water.
Fortunately, Liao Fan rescued it in time, so the Nine-flavored Insect was not swallowed by the giant blue frog. Meng Yao immediately cleaned the mucus on it, and exclaimed as he stepped back,
"These frogs are so crazy, why would they attack us collectively?"
"I'm not sure, maybe I was infected by some kind of toxin!"
Liao Fan retreated to the shore, but his eyes were still fixed on the creek, staring at the dark water, and his tone was low.
Although there are indeed many dangerous creatures in the outer universe, not every creature is so aggressive.
For example, the giant blue frogs in front of us are relatively mild-tempered species. At least in the Blue Star World in the previous life, we have never heard of giant blue frogs actively attacking humans.
But right now, this group of blue frogs are in a manic mood, completely different from their usual behavior.
Liao Fan speculated that they should have been infected by viruses in the stream, which caused this.
The two of them retreated far away from the creek, and after making sure that the giant blue frogs had not followed, they both stopped.
Sun Mu soon felt it, and panting heavily, he came to the two of them, looked at the stream that was still immersed in boiling water, and while panting, he said, "What happened just now? Why is Miss Meng Yao so embarrassed?"
"It's nothing, I was just attacked by an aquatic creature, and I fought it off."
Liao Fan shook his head, but didn't have much reaction.
Giant blue frogs cannot leave the water. Once they land, their fighting ability will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the only weapon they can use to attack prey is their white tongue, so they are not difficult to deal with.
It's just that Liao Fan doesn't understand why these giant blue frogs, which are always timid and cautious, attack humans in groups?
In Liao Fan's memory of his previous life, there was no similar situation at all.
After hearing what Liao Fan said, Meng Yao was still a little unhappy. He looked at the giant blue frogs hiding in the stream and said, "What's so strange about this? Monsters are always monsters. It's not unusual for them to attack humans."
Liao Fan shook his head, "You are wrong. In our main universe, there are many different planes and spaces. Different planes and spaces will also give birth to creatures with different personalities. Not all creatures in every space are so violent. This
There are even some races that are very friendly to humans."
Sun Mu touched his nose and said, "According to what you said, these giant blue frogs should be relatively gentle, but why just now..."
"Maybe the answer lies upstream in the creek."
Liao Fan raised his gaze, extending his gaze along the stream to the center of the black rain forest, and said in a deep voice,
"The stream here is very likely to be polluted, and giant blue frogs are the most typical aquatic creatures. Living in such a polluted area for a long time will lead to cruel temperament."
Sun Mu also felt that this analysis made sense and nodded secretly.
Meng Yao puzzled and said, "But they didn't directly turn into zombies like those humans did."
"This is not surprising. Different organisms have different resistance to the same virus. Take the plague as an example. As a carrier of the plague virus, rats will not get sick from it, but humans will be infected and die.
.”
Liao Fan explained, "For the same reason, giant blue frogs will only become irritable after being infected with the virus, and once humans are infected, they may mutate into zombies..."
Meng Yao couldn't refute, so he could only take a breath and ask, "Maybe you are right, so what should we do next?"
"There is no other way but to continue walking up the creek."
Liao Fan couldn't come up with any good ideas, so he could only point to the upper reaches of the creek, and then led the two of them to continue walking upstream.
The three people moved very slowly. After entering the black rain forest, they slowed down significantly.
At the same time, the Nine-Fragrance Insect, who had just escaped from danger, was lying on Meng Yao's shoulder. He rolled his eyes very cautiously and looked at the surrounding woods, his mood becoming more and more manic.
After walking for about half an hour, Meng Yao stopped again and whispered to Liao Fan, "Xiao Jiu's mood is not right. Since entering this rainforest, he has become more and more nervous. There must be something unforeseen ahead."
You know the danger, otherwise this little thing wouldn't have such a big reaction."
Liao Fan also felt that the environment in this rainforest was indeed very strange.
It stands to reason that in such a large forest, even if there are no mid-to-high-end monsters living there, there should still be some lower-end life forms.
But inside the rainforest, it still seemed too quiet, not a single chirp of insects or birds could be heard. Only a dense, dark forest shrouded the sky and blocked the natural light above.
Looking at the entire dense forest, except for the dead silence and darkness, there is no movement at all.
Sun Mu frowned more and more. He jumped up to an unknown tree, stood on the treetop and looked into the distance for a while. He seemed to have discovered something. He jumped down again and said to the two of them,
"About a kilometer away from us, there is a relatively flat area with many strange-shaped stones, and the corpse aura is particularly strong. It may be the source of these viruses."
"Let's go, we've come here, we still have to go and see."
Liao Fan didn't say anything and immediately walked in the direction Sun Mu pointed.
After a few more minutes, the three of them discovered a rocky valley in front of them. The valley was flat and filled with a large number of unknown black rocks arranged in random directions.
In the middle of this rocky valley, there is a giant platform built with round stones. Under the stone platform, there is a large amount of corpse aura permeating the air. Within a radius of 500 meters, there is almost no tree growing.
