If you can't eat grass, you will be eaten

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!" Jiaotu looked at the sea of ​​flowers that suddenly appeared in front of him, and excitedly tugged on the sleeve of the little deer man, signaling him to go in quickly.

The little deer man pursed his lips and smiled, feeling that the sea of ​​red flowers in front of him was very beautiful, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.Han Xiu always felt that there was some disobedience, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, but followed them into the sea of ​​flowers on the other side with a serious expression.

Red always makes people feel passionate, but the red of Bianhua is a cold red, which is immersed in the heart with arrogance and coldness.

At first, Jiaotu and Xiaoluman looked around excitedly, but as they walked deeper and deeper, until there was only blood red around them, they could no longer arouse their interest in watching.

Han Xiu's ominous premonition became more and more serious, and the string in his heart became tighter and tighter, and then he heard the little deer man say to him:

"Jiaotu, why did you show the fish tail?"

Han Xiu looked at Jiaotu and found that the blanket that Jiaotu had covered his tail had disappeared, and the wheelchair he had been pushing had turned back into a shell.

"Jiaotu, why aren't you in a wheelchair anymore?"

Jiaotu replied nonchalantly: "It's okay, there is no one here, no one will see it."

Han Xiu was startled, and finally knew what was wrong.This sea of ​​flowers is so peaceful!Quiet as if there was no one else but them, not even other living things.

There is dead silence here!

Han Xiu was horrified, and quickly stopped Jiaotu who was bouncing around in the shell: "Go, get out."

"Why?" Jiaotu was a little reluctant.

"There will be no one here." Han Xiu hurriedly left without explaining in detail.

"Oh, how can you be sure there will be no one here?"

"Listen carefully, there is nothing around except our voice..." Han Xiu suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.He had never heard the voice of the question just now, so who asked him the question?

Han Xiu turned around and saw a person as beautiful as the other side of the flower, she was dressed in red, with a cold smile on her mouth.Usually red will make people feel passionate, but this woman in front of her is cold and proud.

"Oh, I found it." The cold and arrogant beauty turned around and asked, "Where did you come from, and what is the purpose of coming here?"

Han Xiuxiu thought about how to answer, but suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe.At first, he thought it was his own illusion, but then he saw that the little deer man and Jiaotu beside him also bent down in pain.

"What did you do to us?" Han Xiu's face turned red, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.

"Answer!" The cold and arrogant woman in red didn't answer Han Xiu's question.

Constrained by others, Han Xiu had no choice: "Let's find someone."

The woman who was very similar to Bianhua did not continue to ask: "There is no one you are looking for here."

After finishing speaking, the red figure turned into bright Bianhua flowers, and then disappeared into the air, leaving only one sentence: "Come in rashly without knowing what the Bianhuahai Sea is like, and you deserve to die."

After the woman left, Han Xiu felt a little better, but he could still clearly feel the passing of his life: "Quick, let's leave quickly."

The little deer man and Jiaotu immediately followed Han Xiu to the place where they had come and went, but the passing of their lives caused their physical strength to drop sharply, and they became breathless after running.

"Good... so far away!" The little deer man took a breath, and spoke intermittently in a short sentence, "Can we really run out?"

The little deer man is fine, although he is out of breath and seems to be exhausted physically, but he seems to be fine so far.But Jiaotu is different. She is an aquatic creature and is not very suitable for walking on land. Now that she is in such a situation, it is naturally more difficult.

At this time, Jiaotu was already in a dying state, unable to move forward.

"You...can you still go?" The little deer man also looked exhausted, but he was more worried about Jiaotu's situation, "Come on, I'll support you, you can't stop here."

Jiao Tu weakly stretched out his hand to put on the little deer man's shoulder, but this action put the weight of Jiao Tu's whole body on the little deer man's body.The little deer man who could move forward could barely stand now, Han Xiu came up and gave his hand, and the three of them walked forward for a while supporting each other.

But gradually, the little deer man with less physical strength couldn't hold on anymore, and only Han Xiu was left with some mobility.

"Han...Xiu," the little deer man's physical exertion is too much, his consciousness has begun to be a little fuzzy, "I can't walk anymore, let us go, you may still be able to walk out."

"Impossible!" Han Xiu refused without thinking.

The little deer man stared blankly at Han Xiu, and after a while he found his own voice: "Why? You have a chance to go out, we have no hope."

The little deer man pointed to himself and then to Jiaotu. Both of them looked exhausted. It was impossible to drive them both with Han Xiu alone.What's more, the surrounding area is full of red, they don't know how far they can get out of this sea of ​​flowers representing death, and they can't even be sure whether they are lost in this sea of ​​flowers without direction.

Jiao Tu also said: "If you feel guilty about me, then there is no need. I walked out of Tianchi Lake voluntarily. This is my own choice. Before I came out, I was ready to die at any time. You are not responsible for my life."

Han Xiu was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't actually thought of this level, so why did he refuse just now without even thinking about it?Han Xiu couldn't help asking himself, and then he found the answer to this question was very strange, he couldn't leave the little deer man behind.

So why can't he leave the little deer boy behind?For a moment, Han Xiu thought a lot. If only Jiaotu and him entered the sea of ​​flowers on the other side, would he agree to this proposal when Jiaotu couldn't bear it.

The answer is yes!The lesser of two evils is the lesser of two evils. Rather than confessing here together, it is better to leave by yourself. This way the chances of leaving are much greater.If he really went out, he could still tell Qingming and the others about the situation here, so that they would not die in vain.

Han Xiu couldn't figure out why he treated the little deer man differently, probably because the little deer man spent more time with him, and he really regarded him as a companion, but his relationship with Jiaotu was much weaker.

Han Xiu felt that he had found the right answer.

But the decision to stagnate is really stupid, he said: "I will take you away. Jiaotu, you wait first, I will take the little deer man out first, and then I will come back to find you."

Jiaotu's eyes were already blurred, but she was still trying to stay awake. Hearing Han Xiu's words, she smiled and nodded.

Han Xiu took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to the little deer man, and motioned for him to hold him.The little deer man looked at Han Xiu, but didn't move: "You don't have any strength anymore."

The black pearl-like eyes kept shining with light.

"I don't have any strength," Han Xiu smiled, without denying it, "but I have a life-saving trick. Did I never tell you that my body is a mimosa plant?"

"I am a plant myself, and I can absorb energy from the earth. What's more, I strengthened this skill when I accepted the inheritance. It is no problem to take you out."

The little deer man was shaken. He stared at Han Xiu's outstretched hand, but he still didn't move.

Seeing that the little deer man didn't believe it, Han Xiu sighed.Afterwards, his legs turned into the root system of the plant and plunged deeply into the ground.The surrounding Bana flowers withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, but Han Xiu became radiant.

Now the little deer man believed it completely, and reached out to hold Han Xiu's hand.

"No!" Little Deer Man was startled, and immediately let go of his hand, but was caught by Han Xiu.

"You're lying to me. If your ability is so heaven-defying, why didn't you use it at the beginning? Why did you want to stay with us just now?"

Han Xiu didn't answer because he couldn't answer this question.But he didn't need to answer, the little deer boy didn't have the strength now, so Han Xiu picked him up directly.But he didn't leave immediately, but continued to stand where he was, absorbing the nutrients from the earth.

The little deer man burst into tears, and he begged in a low voice: "Can you let me go? You will be able to get out by yourself, not necessarily if you take me with you."

Han Xiu didn't answer, he knew he couldn't put Xiaolu Man down.

Jiaotu, who was lying on the side and nearly lost consciousness, slowly crawled over. She grabbed Han Xiu and said with all her strength, "Can you absorb the power of the earth infinitely?"

"But my body can't handle the excess energy."

"That's okay! If you increase the limit you can bear, won't you be able to absorb more energy?"

"Yes!" Han Xiu replied without hesitation.

Jiaotu smiled brightly, as if seeing hope: "There is no time to explain, trust me."

Jiaotu exhausted his last strength and sat up, emphasizing another sentence: "Be sure to trust me!"

Caught off guard, the hearts of Han Xiu and the little deer man tightened, as if something sharp was trying to pierce their hearts.Han Xiu looked down and found a slender transparent silk thread against his chest. He looked along the thread and saw Jiaotu sitting with his eyes closed.

"Trust me!" Han Xiu suddenly remembered Jiao Tu's words just now, and his whole mind went blank, without any thoughts.At this time, the transparent silk thread on the chest pierced Han Xiu's chest hard.Han Xiu clearly felt that his vitality was flowing along this silk thread.

He instinctively wanted to resist, but suddenly remembered something, and put down the little deer man on his shoulder.Han Xiu saw that there was also a transparent silk thread inserted into the deer man's chest, but his condition was different from his own.

Han Xiu looked at the little deer man carefully, and found that his face gradually turned rosy. Han Xiu felt relieved and tried to relax his body, trying to let his vitality flow to the little deer man more smoothly.

"Han Xiu, don't be in a daze!" Jiao Tu suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.

Han Xiu came back to his senses and found that the speed of his life force was gradually slowing down. He immediately reacted and continued to absorb the energy from the ground.The surrounding Bana flowers withered in patches, and Han Xiu absorbed energy more and more slowly until he could no longer absorb any energy.

Fortunately, they had almost recovered at this time, and Jiaotu slowly retracted the transparent threads that connected each other's hearts.

"This is the power of our mermaid race. It can share life and harm together. But the people who are linked must trust me wholeheartedly." Jiaotu said this, and smiled very sweetly.

Han Xiu and Xiaolunan also looked at each other.The little deer man said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly."

Han Xiu's face became a little strange, and Xiao Lunan asked quickly: "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Did you give us too much vitality just now, but you didn't have enough vitality?"

Han Xiu shook his head, turned to the little deer man and said with difficulty: "Didn't you ask me about the limitations of this ability before? I can tell you now."

Han Xiu didn't know why he didn't dare to look into the little deer man's eyes: "I can only use this ability once in my life. Once the root system under my feet is broken, then this opportunity will be gone."

A burst of anger suddenly rose in the little deer man's chest, and he, who is usually good-tempered, suddenly burst out: "You are really lying to me! You...you...how can you do this!"

The little deer man was so angry that he couldn't say anything.Jiaotu was a little anxious, the sea of ​​flowers on the other shore is indeed not a place to stay for a long time: "Can we wait until we go out to argue? Leave now."

Jiaotu found that Han Xiu opened his mouth after he said this, as if he had something to say but couldn't say it.Jiaotu thought for a while and asked, "Why did Han Xiu suddenly confess just now?"

Han Xiu was obviously relieved: "In fact, my root system can survive for a while, if I just pull out the root system instead of cutting it off."

Jiaotu's eyes brightened: "That is to say, you can continue to absorb the energy from the earth?"

"Correct!"

"Great!" Jiao Tu clapped his hands, obviously very excited.The little deer man on the side was even more angry. Thinking of Han Xiu carrying him at the beginning, he wanted to leave. Being so heavy must have caused great damage to the roots under the ground.If Han Xiu stays here forever because of his own reasons, then he...

The little deer man was angry and sad, his heart seemed to be tightened, he turned around without saying a word, shook his body, and his lower body became like a sika deer again: "Come up."

Although he didn't mention his name, everyone here knew that he was talking about Han Xiu.Han Xiu hesitated for a while, but still climbed onto the little deer man's back.

"Thank you." Han Xiu thanked softly.

The little deer man snorted, then ignored it, and walked forward without saying a word.No matter how Han Xiu raised the topic, the little deer man always looked indifferent.Jiaotu followed silently, not disturbing them.

The withered flowers of the other side were left behind by them, but as time passed, their vitality gradually faded, and the first one who couldn't hold on was the little deer man who was carrying Han Xiu on his back.But he insisted on not saying anything, and it was Han Xiu who realized that the little deer man was almost at the end of his battle when he accidentally bumped.

"Stop!" Han Xiu used an orderly tone, and the little deer man finally couldn't hold on anymore and knelt down.Han Xiu quickly rolled off his back, inserted the root system into the ground almost instantly, and then looked at Jiaotu to signal that she would pass her life force to the little deer man.

This series of actions was completed almost instantly, which was enough to show how eager Han Xiu was.Jiaotu immediately used his ability to connect the two of them, and Han Xiu couldn't wait to send the life force he had absorbed to the little deer man.After a while, the deer man's face returned to normal.

After the little deer man regained his strength, he shook his body, didn't say anything, but motioned for Han Xiu to go up.Han Xiu hesitated for a while, but he had no choice but to let the little deer man carry it. If he wanted to lead the three of them out of the sea of ​​flowers on the other side to the greatest extent, then his roots would not suffer additional damage.

This time, Han Xiu paid special attention to the little deer man's condition. As long as he found that the little deer man was exhausted, he asked to stop and continue to absorb energy.Even if the little deer man said he was fine, Han Xiu insisted on stopping and resting.

They walked step by step like this, and both Xiaolunan and Jiaotu found that Han Xiu was absorbing energy more and more slowly, and their rest time was getting longer and longer.It seems that even if there is no external force, Han Xiu's root system is constantly being damaged.

If they stayed here, sooner or later, there would be a moment when the life force absorbed by Han Xiu couldn't make up for what they lost.

A sense of urgency weighed on everyone's heart. Looking at the boundless sea of ​​flowers on the other side, their hearts were gradually cast in the haze of despair.

Finally, after a certain break, Han Xiu's root system shrank completely, and they had no more supplies.The redness in their eyes had almost sentenced them to death, and the three of them walked forward in despair and helplessness. Even though they were exhausted and slow like walking corpses, they did not give up.

A little closer, a little closer, I have been walking for so long, maybe I can leave here by walking a little further.Finally, they exhausted all their strength and were paralyzed in the sea of ​​flowers, unable to move.

Are you going to die here?Not reconciled, really not reconciled.

"Han Xiu." The little deer man thought that he had reached the end of his life, and it would be too late if he didn't express his feelings.Who cares what kind of reaction Han Xiu will have, after all, he didn't consider his own feelings when he insisted on sending him out.

"I found that I like you a little bit, no, not a little bit, a lot, a lot."

Han Xiu turned his head in shock, as if bundles of fireworks exploded in his heart.The endless joy surging in his chest made him suddenly understand why he was so special to the little deer man.It turned out that he liked the little deer man, and it turned out that his feelings for the little deer man were actually love.

The dull guy who had never been in contact with this kind of emotion finally got the hang of it. He tightly held the little deer man's hand: "Me too, I like you too!"

The two looked at each other affectionately, but the sudden "pop" sound interrupted their gaze.

The woman in red appeared again, she applauded and said, "It's really touching. It's only a little bit far from the end of the sea of ​​flowers."

"I decided to help you, I can send one of you out, and leave the rest as flower fertilizer."

Han Xiu and Xiaolunan looked at each other and said in unison, "Jiaotu!"

The corner of the woman's mouth was pulled up, and she smiled viciously: "You are referring to the two of you, she is no longer in the range of choice."

The little deer man eagerly pointed at Han Xiu, but he was hit hard on the neck and passed out directly.Out of a sudden, Han Xiu stroked the unconscious deer man to the woman in red: "Send him out."

"Decided?"

"Decided!"

The woman in red laughed loudly, but her laughter was full of sadness: "Why are you all so stupid? Obviously your own life is the most important thing."

The woman laughed sadly, and Han Xiu waited for her laughter to stop before saying softly, "Probably because of love."

"It's a pity that I never understand love." The woman stopped laughing, waved her long sleeves, and a strong wind rolled up.

After the strong wind calmed down, there was no one in the sea of ​​flowers, only a voice that gradually faded away: "The other shore flower, the other shore flower, the flower blooms without leaves, and the leaves grow without flowers..."
