A man held a pile of green wild fruits similar to apples in his arms. He climbed down from the tree with a joyful smile. Just as he turned around, his left foot accidentally stepped on a "withered tree" on the ground.
"on the branch".
The next moment.
The "dead branch" with no abnormality suddenly bounced up and opened its mouth to bite.
Immediately, the man's body stiffened suddenly, his face instantly turned black and purple, foaming at the mouth, and he fell to the ground without saying a word, lifeless.
The "dead branch" seemed to be frightened and disappeared into the grass in the blink of an eye.
…
And in another direction.
A middle-aged woman in her thirties was lucky enough to find some non-poisonous red berries. She stepped forward and waved away the gray-feathered birds that were pecking at the red berries, and happily ate all the remaining berries.
Take them all off.
Put it in your pocket, hide it, turn around and walk back.
I thought to myself with joy, "My son has something to eat, and he doesn't have to go hungry at last."
Even though her stomach felt uncomfortable with hunger and her face turned sallow, she still resisted the hunger in her belly and chose to leave the hard-earned food to her teenage son, hoping that he could live well.
While passing through a bush.
With both hands holding up the red berries in her pocket, she had no choice but to bend forward, shook her neck, and used her head to push away the broad leaves that blocked her view. She didn't notice at all that on the back of one of the leaves,
Lying down was a small yellow and green caterpillar.
The downy stinger on the back of the small caterpillar accidentally touched the skin of the middle-aged woman's ear.
As soon as it made contact, there was a burning pain.
The middle-aged woman screamed in pain, turned around and saw the little caterpillar falling to the ground. She was so angry that she trampled it to death with a casual kick, cursed a few words in a low voice, and didn't care.
They are just small caterpillars, which are actually not uncommon among rural people.
The poison of this little thing will mostly make people feel a burning sting, but it will not actually kill people.
She had no idea that the poisonous component gene of this little caterpillar had inherited part of its mother's terrible new poisonous gene, and it already had the ability to poison adult bison.
Because its mother is an evolver among caterpillars, and she prefers the change of the elemental poison system.
When the middle-aged woman returned to her child, she immediately took the child and sat in a remote place, quietly took out the red berries she had found by chance, and asked him to eat them quickly without being seen by others.
The child ate happily, not caring whether his mother had eaten or whether he was still hungry.
The middle-aged woman hugged her child, looked at his happy eating face, and comforted her by saying, "Eat slowly, don't choke. Mom won't compete with you. Don't make a sound either, be careful of others seeing you."
Have something to eat."
"Yes, I understand." The child muttered impatiently, not even bothering to raise his head.
It was at this time.
The middle-aged woman suddenly noticed that her eyesight was becoming increasingly blurry, as if through a layer of frosted glass, and her brain had become a little groggy, as if she had a severe fever.
She instinctively had a premonition that something was wrong and wanted to cry out for help.
But the muscles in her body gradually and quickly became stiff, and she couldn't even open her mouth or move her limbs.
The body has completely lost its ability to control itself.
With no choice.
The middle-aged woman had no choice but to pin all her hopes for rescue and survival on her children, hoping that her children would look up at her, notice her abnormality, and call someone to save her in time.
But the result disappointed her.
From beginning to end, her child was munching on fresh and delicious red berries, trying to fill his stomach.
He didn't mean to look up at her at all.
About two minutes later, the middle-aged woman was no longer breathing. The compound neurotoxin of unknown composition had circulated throughout her body and spread throughout her body, including her brain and organs.
…
…
And it's about thirty meters away from here.
A young woman in her twenties was walking back after carrying her little daughter to the toilet. When she passed by a vine that looked like an ivy, she saw the plant blooming with bright red flowers.
The young woman sniffed the flowers habitually, and unconsciously showed an intoxicated expression on her face.
"It smells so good. I wonder what kind of flower this is?"
"Oh, what a pity for the flowers I planted before."
He turned around and walked a few steps.
The young woman's eyes suddenly changed, becoming crazy and obsessed. She completely lost her mind and turned back crazily to pounce on the vine that looked like an ivy.
Breathe in the fragrant and alluring fragrance of flowers.
"Swiss, swiss, swish...!"
It was at this time.
The flexible vines that had gathered into a tangle slowly spread out, as if they were peeling off a cocoon. After a while, an unknown animal corpse was revealed, with only tattered fur and rotten bones left.
The young woman turned a blind eye to this.
With a strange smile of dementia and intoxication on her face, she took the initiative to walk in with her little daughter who was less than two years old on her back. Immediately afterwards, the scattered flexible vines began to slowly close again, and soon returned to their original appearance.
Full of vitality and harmless to humans and animals.
It’s just that the delicate little flowers, which are as bright as blood, are becoming brighter in color and more fragrant in fragrance.
…
A place where people gather.
Yan Mengji held a bamboo tube in her hand and sipped the light white special nourishing drink in small sips.
After drinking it for a few sips, she felt that she seemed to be much more energetic and no longer tired. She rubbed her legs and squeezed her hands. She felt that she could walk several miles carrying this heavy thing on her back.
"This is really a good thing, but I don't know where he found it...it's not good."
"dangerous!"
at this time.
Yan Mengji inexplicably felt a wave of heart palpitations and fear, and an invisible premonition of death crisis enveloped her whole body like a dark curtain. Her hands and feet were so frightened that her body trembled instinctively.
She didn't dare to make any direct changes for fear of disturbing the hunters hiding in the dark.
I just suppressed the instinctive fear in my heart and whispered a reminder.
"Hong... Hongyi, there is a terrible danger... approaching us. You must be careful."
"What danger?" Zhongli Hongyi asked subconsciously, looking up at the thick branches covered by white mist.
—————
This subconscious reaction is completely out of habit.
But in the eyes of the jungle predator that was sneaking up on the tree trunk, it seemed that it had been noticed by its prey in advance, and it suddenly no longer concealed its figure.
Baring his teeth and claws, he suddenly jumped down from the tree trunk.
