Epoch of Twilight

In fact, the situation was even more serious than Luo Yuan estimated.

Early the next morning, Luo Yuan walked out of the grotto, and his eyes were filled with endless green. The flood from yesterday had all receded, and there were a few streams flowing in the forest. The spring bamboo shoots grew a lot higher overnight, reaching half the height of a person. Thousands of weird insects are flying and shuttling comfortably in the grass, creating a vibrant scene.

The messy and wrecked scene of the woods yesterday has long since disappeared without a trace. Not only is the forest not dilapidated, but it is even more green. The space that was vacated after the storm has been occupied by other branches.

The newly grown branches appear delicate and weak, and some leaves have not even fully grown, and they can't wait to occupy new sites.

The exuberant vitality of the forest is almost overflowing. If the landslide at the door is not still there, Luo Yuan would have thought that the super storm yesterday was an illusion.

The growth rate of the plants is really crazy, it is already like this in just one night, if it continues for more than ten days, I don't know what will happen? And plants are still the bottom link of the ecological chain. Once the plants change, I am afraid that the entire ecological chain will undergo chain changes.

A trace of worry arose in Luo Yuan's heart, and he looked at it for a while before returning to the grotto!

Everyone was cleaning the moss inside. After the water in the grotto faded, the ground and rock walls were covered with colorful moss when they woke up. It was not only greasy and disgusting, but also easy to attract insects. So early in the morning, everyone spontaneously cleaned these Uninvited plants.

But once you clean it, you will know the trouble!

Not only are there no suitable tools here, and the cleaning speed is extremely slow, but this moss also has a biological characteristic. Once injured, it will cling to the ground, making the difficulty of cleaning up rapidly. Several people worked for more than an hour, and only cleaned up a small area.

What's more troublesome is that its roots have penetrated into the rocks, and it is still difficult to eradicate. As long as there is a little water, it may grow back the next day after cleaning this time.

Luo Yuan looked at it for a while, and then said: "This is too inefficient, so there is no need to be so troublesome. Plants are afraid of fire. After drying the firewood outside, let's burn it with a big fire, and it will be clean in a while."

His thinking is much quicker now, and he has inspiration in a blink of an eye.

Everyone stood down, dropped the stones in their hands, and looked at each other. Luo Yuan's method was very simple and efficient, but it was strange that no one thought of it.

In fact, this is because they were blinded by the previous common sense and fell into inertial thinking. In the thinking of normal people, if there is moss growing in their house, the first reaction must be to shovel off the moss instead of burning it with a big fire. The smoky flavor and black ash are enough to drive people crazy. But in the last days, there are dangers everywhere, life and death are unpredictable, life may be lost at any time, and even living seems a luxury, and paying more attention to these things is simply suicide. Guaranteeing one's own survival is the first priority, and the others must be placed in the back row.

"ah!"

At this moment, Chen Jiayi let out a scream.

Huang Jiahui, who was near her, took a look, her body trembled, and she said in panic, "Luo Yuan, come and have a look."

Luo Yuan frowned, walked over quickly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Look at her little finger!" Huang Jiahui trembled.

He looked at her hand, and then his heart sank. He saw a piece of green moss growing on her little finger, about the size of a dime. From a distance, it seemed to be stained.

He grabbed her hand and touched it lightly. The moss was stimulated and shrunk into the depths of the skin, leaving only a light green trace. The surface was smooth without the slightest penetrating hole. Apart from the color, Almost the same as normal skin, even smoother and more moist, as if coated with a layer of gel.

At this time, everyone gathered around. When they saw the abnormal change in Chen Jiayi's hands, they couldn't help but change their expressions. They quickly checked their naked tribe, and after finding that there was nothing abnormal, they couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

No one thought that this ordinary moss could be so dangerous.

"When did it happen?" Luo Yuan asked Chen Jiayi.

"I... I don't know, I just felt a little itchy in my little finger just now..." Chen Jiayi's face was pale and her body was trembling, but it wouldn't be much better if this happened to anyone.

At this time, Luo Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he found that in just a short moment, the green spot had grown in size, covering the entire little finger.

The direct damage of will to plants is limited, and there is still a layer of human body's self-defense, I am afraid the effect is not very good, but now, he does not dare to hesitate any longer, he can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, hope No problem.

As soon as his will was concentrated, a misty brilliance instantly lit up in his hand, and then he held Chen Jiayi's palm.

As soon as the contact was made, Chen Jiayi's body trembled and she almost fell to the ground, her face became paler and paler.

"Jiayi, what's wrong with you?" Huang Jiahui shouted hastily.

The two little boys, who usually have the best relationship with Chen Jiayi, stood beside them with nervous faces, but they didn't dare to speak among a group of adults.

Chen Jiayi's face quickly turned waxy white, without the slightest trace of blood, and her body began to become weaker and weaker, and she was about to be unable to stand up. She opened her mouth weakly, but couldn't say anything.

As if feeling strange, he suddenly looked at Chen Jiayi's palm, his face changed drastically, and he saw a touch of green, breaking through the little finger, spreading quickly, covering the entire palm, and extending to the arm, in just a second, It has almost covered the entire forearm, and the speed of spreading is so fast that it makes one's scalp tingle.

"Damn it!

He quickly dissipated his will, grabbed Chen Jiayi's hand, lifted her sleeves, and found that most of her arms had turned green.

Looking at the strangely colored arm, a chill rose from everyone's hearts.

Luo Yuan's heart was heavy. He didn't expect these mosses to be so difficult to entangle. Not only were they not killed by will, but they proliferated rapidly under the stimulation of danger, trying to break through the predicament.

Now, there is only one way.

"Except women, everyone go out!" Luo Yuan said coldly.

As if they had a premonition, everyone's faces flashed a bit unbearable, but this is already the best way, at least one life can be saved, and soon all the men walked out of the grotto.

Seeing that the men had left, Luo Yuan quickly untied all her clothes and left them on the ground.

Sufficient nutrition during this period of time made the originally skinny little girl not only become a little fleshy, but also her body began to develop ahead of schedule, and her chest slightly bulged.

Being naked in front of everyone, especially in front of a man like Luo Yuan, which made Chen Jiayi's face turn pale from fright, she couldn't help but blush with shame. Her body trembled slightly nervously, looking like a frightened bird. fawn.

Luo Yuan glanced at it, then averted his eyes,

Zhao Yali couldn't bear it, and seemed to want to speak, but was pulled by Wang Xiaguang and shook her head.

"Close your eyes, and you'll be fine soon." Luo Yuan took the saber knife, pulled it out gently, and said gently to Chen Jiayi. After this little time delay, the green has spread to the upper arm.

Chen Jiayi's originally flushed face immediately turned pale again, her lips trembled slightly, and tears rolled down her face, which made people feel pity. She is only twelve years old. In a normal society, she would still be in elementary school, but now she has to suffer from a broken arm.

Luo Yuan sighed, took her hand, clenched the handle of the knife tightly, and was about to swing it out.

Looking at the silver long knife that was about to fall, a strong terror filled Chen Jiayi's heart, and her heart throbbed violently.

"Don't...don't!" She said in a trembling voice suddenly, and her body began to struggle.

"Don't be afraid, Jiayi, it will be fine after a bit of pain. Without an arm, you can still live in the future!" Huang Jiahui comforted quickly.

"Please, don't cut off my arm? I don't want to be a one-armed man." Chen Jiayi suddenly broke down and cried loudly. After all, she was just a twelve-year-old girl, and no matter how strong she usually was, she couldn't compare with an adult's mind.

"If you don't cut off this arm, you will die. Don't be afraid, the wound will heal soon." Huang Jiahui continued to persuade.

But Chen Jiayi was emotional and didn't respond at all, just kept crying.

With the passage of time, the best time has passed quietly, maybe the moss spores started to grow everywhere through the flow of blood, before the green was only limited to the arms, but slowly even the chest, stomach, and even the face, also appeared. They emerged one after another.

He noticed this scene, sighed, and stopped helplessly, this time there was really no other way.

The moss had spread all over his body, and it was hopeless.

Luo Yuan slowly inserted the knife into the sheath. Speaking of which, he quite liked this little girl. Not only was she cute and cute, but she was also very sensible at ordinary times. She was more active than anyone else in helping with cooking and cleaning.

Several women also noticed this scene, their complexions changed, their eyes were slightly moist,

For a while, the atmosphere seemed a little silent.

Huang Jiahui couldn't help asking: "Is there no other way?"

"Her time may be running out!" Luo Yuan shook his head and said softly.

Then, he picked up her clothes and put them on carefully for her. Chen Jiayi stopped crying, with a blank face, like a marionette, letting him manipulate her.

"Uncle Luo, am I going to die?" Chen Jiayi asked suddenly after getting dressed.

Luo Yuan hesitated for a while, finally nodded, and softly comforted: "Everyone is mortal, but some die sooner and some later, what do you wish for?"

The only one who died through hardships, let alone a little girl, Chen Jiayi shook her body and covered her mouth tightly, tears fell down again, and she couldn't cry for a while.

The woman is full of emotions and begins to cry along with her.

"Before you leave, go say hello to your companions outside!" Luo Yuan said softly, feeling uncomfortable.

Chen Jiayi nodded with tears in her eyes, and walked towards the door step by step with heavy steps. At this time, the morning sun had already risen, and the rising sunlight passed through the stone corridor and shone on her body. out.

She looked at her body and stood still for a long time. After a while, she seemed to feel a little joy, and a faint smile appeared on her desperate and pale face.

Under the sunlight, these mosses spread rapidly to the whole body, and it didn't take long before they took over the whole body.

Everyone gathered around one after another, holding their breath subconsciously.
