Chapter 260 The Black Blind Man of Versailles
I originally thought that the rain would stop after a while, but I didn't expect that after a few seconds of drizzle, it would instantly turn into a downpour.
The effect of the waterproof cloth on everyone's head was greatly weakened. It was okay to cover the upper body tightly, but the lower body was soaked by the heavy rain.
"Fuck, why is it raining so hard? It's like there's a hole in the sky, and the Milky Way is flowing backwards!"
Most of Fatty Wang's body was wet, and the wound on his butt that had just been treated with medicine was now soaked through, causing him to grimace in pain.
"Hurry, hurry, there's a big banyan tree up ahead. Let's go there to take shelter from the rain."
It is very dark now. Hei Xiazi's vision is increased by 120 points in this situation. Even though the rain is so heavy now, he can still see a lot of things.
With the help of each other, they soon arrived under the big banyan tree that Hei Xia Zi mentioned.
It's obvious that this banyan tree has been alive for a long time. The trunk looks to be more than five meters in diameter, with countless vines wrapped around it, intertwining with each other, making the trunk appear even thicker.
The main trunk is surrounded by dense supporting roots. The supporting roots are connected, the branches support each other, and the branches and leaves spread out, forming a rare spectacle that looks like it blocks out the sky and a single tree forms a forest.
The tree crown is broad and dense, and vines of varying thickness are wrapped around the branches. Many vines and branches are hanging down, combined with straight supporting roots and the crisscrossing, winding, disordered and tangled banyan roots on the ground. It is quite ornamental and gives people a magical feeling of having strayed into the world of ancient elves.
If it weren't for the heavy rain, everyone would really like to take a moment to appreciate this big tree that has grown freely in this remote place.
By the time everyone finally found a place to shelter from the rain and hid under a tree, less than a minute had passed when the seemingly scary rain stopped.
After the rain stopped, Nan Xihe, who was originally depressed because he was soaked, instantly regained his energy.
He pulled Wuxie and started walking around the banyan tree. As soon as he got close to the trunk of the banyan tree, he got goosebumps all over his body.
"Ah! Brother Wuxie, look, there are so many bugs on this tree! I'm almost having a trypophobia attack."
Wuxie, who was a little nearsighted and couldn't see clearly, was pulled by Nan Xihe and almost tripped over the tree roots, and was about to have a close contact with these insects.
Seeing the tree trunk covered with densely packed black bugs, Wuxie's hair stood on end and he quickly pulled Nan Xihe back.
Looking around carefully again, he saw many small insects sparsely lying on other branches. Thinking that they had not looked carefully and leaned against them when they were hiding from the rain, Wuxie suddenly had a bad feeling.
After standing there and moving around a bit, Wuxie felt a slight, tingling pain on his back, especially around his neck, and instantly felt unwell.
"Mo...Brother Mo..."
Wuxie looked at Zhang Moyu for help, but at this moment Zhang Moyu was helping Zhang Qiling wring out the water from his clothes, and he was also asking the other Zhangs to look around and find some firewood so that they could start a fire to warm themselves up.
Now there is Zhang Qiling, who is both a cub and a young clan leader and needs his care, Wuxie, whom he originally took care of out of personal preference, was ruthlessly forgotten by him.
Fatty Wang, Tianzhen's best friend, was originally not far away from them. He now understood that little Tianzhen had gotten into trouble again, so he immediately went to help Wuxie check the situation.
As soon as he turned up Wuxie's collar, he saw a few small black spots on the back of Wuxie's neck, sticking to his skin and sucking blood.
Hei Xia Zi came over with the intention of watching the fun, and when he saw this situation, he laughed out loud with glee.
"Hey, look at the young master's delicate skin and tender flesh. He's different from us rough guys. He attracts bugs wherever he goes."
Wuxie curled her lips, and when she understood his words that were obviously gloating, she instantly became angry.
"Why don't you check yourself?
There are so many bugs on this tree, and it's so densely packed with branches and leaves, even if you're not leaning against it, there's a chance a few of them will fall from it and land right on your head."
When Hei Xia Zi heard this, his smile became even brighter, and he looked very excited.
"Hey~, you blind me, but insects don't like you.
Those little guys wouldn't even come close to me, and even if they do, they won't bite me. Oh, isn't that infuriating?"
The very cocky Hei Xia Zi successfully received Wu Xie's naked jealous gaze. His Versailles successfully drew all of Wu Xie's hatred towards himself.
At this moment, Wuxie even forgot his desire to take revenge on his third uncle. He just wanted to cut the black bear into eight pieces and then chop it into mosaics to feed the insects.
In fact, the black bear's insect-avoidance physique actually originated from an accident.
Back then, when Hei Xia Zi had been living with Zhang Qiling, Zhang Moyu and the older generations of the Zhang family, he was living in dire straits every day.
Hei Xia Zi felt that if he was not so lucky, skilled and strong, he would have been killed by this group of Kirins who had no sense of propriety.
The most dangerous time was when Hei Xiazi saw Zhang Benchu cultivating a golden bug that looked round, as if made of pure gold, and moved slowly.
Seeing that Zhang Benchu often took out this insect and swirled it in his hand, he thought that this insect was just like the golden thread insect, an ordinary insect with no attack power.
Then, when Zhang Benchu wasn't paying attention, Hei Xia Zi quietly reached out his hand to the golden little fat bug, wanting to borrow it to play with it for a while.
After all, it was the first time he had seen a little bug with such pure gold color that looked like it was made of gold. It looked like a little gold that had become a spirit. Hei Xiazi liked this little guy very much.
Unfortunately, Hei Xiazi’s joy didn’t last for a minute before the situation changed in an instant.
The cute little golden bug may have sensed the presence of a stranger, and opened its mouth to bite the black bear's hand.
Hei Xia Zi was poisoned and fell to the ground on the spot, his eyes rolled back, foam came out of his mouth, and his body twitched uncontrollably.
If Zhang Benchu had not returned quickly enough and discovered that Hei Xia Zi was not yet terminally ill and could still be saved, and had helped him detoxify in time, Hei Xia Zi would probably have gone to see his grandmother by now.
It was then that Hei Xia Zi realized that the one who bit him was a very rare Gu King that had just been successfully cultivated by Zhang Benchu.
It was also from that time that Hei Xia Zi discovered that those small insects such as mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, etc. that he usually hated suddenly avoided him.
It can be said that he had a blessing in disguise.
After suffering a lot, he inexplicably got a good physique that he once envied so much, which could keep away all kinds of insects.
