Volume Three, Chapter 18
Doudou walked with him and Fu Hongyang on the village road. Through the rolling haze, he admired the lush scene on both sides of the road.
"Grow up quickly, Doudou, when you really grow to the size of a calf, I can ride you around." Fu Hongyang thought to himself as he touched Doudou's dog head.
Dogs have weak waists, so it is difficult to ride. Of course, the most important reason is that dogs are not that big, and can make people ride safely. At least they have to grow into a cow or horse to withstand the weight of humans. If there is such a big dog, it will not be a tofu waist.
Doudou is developing into a monster, so it is natural to become a mount.
"Woom!" Doudou was confused, and her calf-like body was circling around Fu Hongyang, still maintaining the temperament that rural dogs should have.
"The plants are growing too fast, and there are no traces of farmland. Except for not enough trees, weeds are almost growing to waist-length height... I really don't know how crazy the scene outside will be in a few months. Will the weeds be taller than people at that time?"
Fu Hongyang sighed slightly, wondering whether the current change is good or bad.
There is no need to say much about the bad side, but the good side naturally does not have to worry about vegetation damage, soil erosion, and green mountains and clear waters everywhere.
suddenly.
A "gulp" sound came from a distance.
Doudou had already raised his ears and listened carefully. Fu Hongyang also concentrated his attention. Soon he heard the second "gulp" sound, like a toad, and the sound went from far to near. A moment later, the third "gulp" sound was confirmed to be the toad's call.
With a laugh, Fu Hongyang ignored it. He learned from the Disaster Committee that many animals have gradually adapted to life shrouded in smog.
For example, some wild cats and dogs often appear in the smog, but there is no sign of evolution in themselves.
Researchers from the Department of Science believe that haze cannot directly infect animals and humans, but instead infect animals and humans again by infecting microorganisms such as bacteria. However, the free immune system in humans and animals may evolve antibodies against these infected bacteria.
With antibodies, you will naturally not be infected again and you will be able to escape the haze.
Of course, most animals may have "fake death" as zombies before they have evolved antibodies. Like zombies, zombies may have mental mutations, physical mutations, morphological mutations and other mutations, and will also gather around the demon trees. However, the number of zombies is not large.
According to scientists' speculation, animals are relatively resistant and have the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm. After the haze occurs, most of them should go to safe areas.
The rest will probably be shared by zombies, especially mutant zombies. Hunting uninfected animals is easy.
"Gugu!"
Fu Hongyang didn't plan to pay attention to the toad, but he didn't expect the toad to get closer and closer, and it looked like it was coming towards him.
After he took a few steps, the toad's screams rang out like they were in his ears.
Then Doudou barked wildly at the grass beside the roadway in the village: "Wool!"
While barking, a toad as big as a millstone jumped out of the grass and jumped to the center of the road. Two huge eyes as big as basketballs stared at Doudou. Its size was so huge that it was beyond Fu Hongyang's imagination, and its grey body was covered with huge tumors.
This is an oversized ordinary toad.
Squatting in the middle of the road, staring at it like robbing the road.
Pulling out a powerful battle knife, Fu Hongyang frowned. He first comforted Doudou, and then stared at the huge toad and observed carefully: "Is this a toad that has eaten the Spirit Tree Fruit?" Eating the Spirit Tree Fruit means that this toad belongs to the fruit spirit, or even the Fruit King.
But soon, Fu Hongyang raised his eyebrows: "With fruit spirit, it means there is a spiritual tree around here!"
He immediately decided to drive away the toad, and then followed the toad to find the spiritual tree that parasitizes it. However, without waiting for Fu Hongyang to implement the plan, the toad actually took the initiative to attack Doudou. It opened its big mouth and a tongue shot Doudou like an arrow, as anxious as thunder.
Doudou's reaction was extremely fast. She flashed suddenly and then rushed towards the toad with a grin.
The toad jumped away quickly, and then stuck out his tongue and shot Doudou. One dog and one toad fought in a short time. But the toad was just a toad after all. As a hunting dog, Doudou had strong talent and instinct. After finding the opportunity, he bit the toad and bit the tumor on the surface of the toad.
A milky white slurry flows out.
The toad was in pain and wanted to resist.
Since Doudou learned to drag the zombie's trousers, this skill has become more and more skillful, and she has tossed the toad around and slurry everywhere.
"Gugu!" The toad screamed repeatedly, but could not resist.
Its strength is far worse than Doudou. No matter how big the toad's body mutates, it can only stick out its tongue to catch insects. It is not suitable for fighting without the hunting dog. Seeing that Doudou is thrown around, the tumor filled with serous is about to break light, and its body is shriveling like a balloon.
Fu Hongyang took action in time to stop Doudou: "Put down this toad, Doudou."
Doudou obediently shook off the toad, then looked at Fu Hongyang in confusion, not understanding why he had to let go of the prey that had reached his mouth. Fu Hongyang did not explain, but just looked at Doudou with milky white serous all over his body - the tumor on the toad was poisonous glands, and the serous was poisonous.
The old man often said that if the toad's venom splashed into his eyes, he would be blind.
"Don't move, I'll help you clean up the slurry on your body... You spit out all the slurry in your mouth yourself, and don't leave any left." Fu Hongyang tried to use his mind to remove the slurry on Doudou's body, but it could only shake off the slurry in Doudou's mouth.
But I think Doudou has fruit sperm and has parasitic fibers from black tree in her body, so she should have a certain detoxification ability.
In addition, when he was a child, he also saw dogs biting toads, but he never saw dogs being poisoned to death because they bite toads, so he was just a little worried, not very worried.
And at this time.
The toad lying on the ground turned over and limped into the grass.
Fu Hongyang cleared the slurry from Doudou's body and immediately followed the toad and ran deep into the grass. While running, he cut off the weeds that were waist-deep. Doudou showed no signs of poisoning yet, and followed Fu Hongyang with his tongue and chased the toad.
The toad is not fast, but his attitude is firm and he keeps moving forward in one direction.
About ten minutes later, Fu Hongyang no longer needed to lead the toads. He had seen the familiar faint light in the haze-free area: "It turns out that there are spiritual trees in Wei Lao Lake." The place where the toad brought him was still belonged to Taoji Town, and there is a large lake called Wei Lao Lake.
When he was a child, Fu Hongyang came to Wei Lao Lake to catch crayfish a lot. Later, Wei Lao Lake was privately contracted to raise fish and planted a lot of weeping willows on the shore.
Every spring, Fu Hongyang and his friends would come to pick willow branches, woven into willow rings and wear them on their heads.
The haze-free area at this moment is formed by three large willow trees with hanging branches. The weeping willow spirit tree shows a three-legged tripod, embracing Wei Laohu in the middle.
"Gugu!" The toad limped into the haze-free area and crawled towards one of the weeping willow spirit trees.
