Wang Xiaozhe and I soon discovered that these flies were different. Wherever they flew, they would always leave traces of black gas filling the air.
I think those are the so-called plagues.
People like us who are cultivators naturally see things that are different from ordinary people.
To them, this is just an invisible virus, but we can see the root of the plague.
Obviously, the plague that broke out in this city was brought by these flies.
But where did these virus-carrying flies come from?
Although we all know that this is a disaster sent by heaven, the disaster must have its origin.
The streets are full of workers wearing chemical protective suits, spraying powder, and getting rid of flies.
Even if ordinary people cannot see that these flies carry viruses, it is common sense that flies can definitely spread viruses.
Therefore, spraying powder to kill flies is a very wise choice.
It's a pity that these flies are one of the natural disasters sent by heaven, and they cannot be killed by ordinary medicinal powder.
So even though so many people are spraying powder to kill flies, the number of flies in this city has not decreased, but has increased in number.
If this situation continues, if the plague remains uncontrolled, it will inevitably spread over a large area. By then, this plague will definitely cause unimaginable disasters to mankind.
And all this is just the beginning of the catastrophe.
Human beings are, after all, too fragile in the face of heaven and nature.
Heaven wants to destroy all living beings, so how can the human race survive?
Looking at the corpses lying on the streets, or left to rot in garbage dumps and allowed to be eaten by flies, these were once living people.
This is God's masterpiece, depriving them of their lives and leaving them with the most ironic ending.
Life is like an ant, life is like grass.
What right does Heaven have to deprive all living beings of their lives? It's just because it has power over all living beings.
Wang Xiaozhe and I explored the city and finally focused on the location of the slums.
Because in the whole town, the slums had the most flies, so it was obvious that this was where the plague originated.
According to Taoist Yunxu, a disaster like plague brought down by heaven must be caused by the God of Plague.
Of course, the so-called plague god here is not the kind of god that people subconsciously think of. He may be just an ordinary person, or an animal, like a five-clawed dragon, but he is accompanied by this kind of disaster.
As for why it appears in slums, it's hard to say clearly.
Maybe it's because the environment in slums is poorer and more suitable for the growth of viruses, or maybe even Tiandao feels that poor people are easy to bully.
On the old streets, not a single pedestrian can be seen in broad daylight. There are only garbage and rotting corpses all over the street, as well as countless flies buzzing around.
Under the influence of the plague, no one dared to go out. People could only stay at home all day long and pray that the plague would pass as soon as possible.
Even those who are infected can only wait to die at home.
Hospitals are already overcrowded, and there are no drugs to treat the disease.
Unknowingly, night fell once again to this small town in a remote northwest region.
The moon still rises, the stars still shine brightly, as if the whole world has barely changed.
But if you look at this human world, you will find that many places have actually become purgatory.
The morning star in the sky was extraordinarily bright tonight. Taoist Yunxu made careful calculations using the method of stargazing and deduction, and quickly figured out the location of the God of Plague.
"In the northwest direction, in the position of Jukan, there are dangers in Jiaxu and Si River. It seems that this thing is about to leave here and go to the next place to spread the plague."
Taoist Yunxu said as he quickly put away his compass and ran towards the northwest.
Wang Xiaozhe and I took a look and quickly chased after him.
After a while, we arrived at an earthen house on the edge of the small town.
This house is extremely old and has no yard. It is just a lonely mud house standing there.
The old wooden door was half open, and the moonlight shone through the cracks in the door and into the house. You could see the dirty domestic garbage on the ground.
As soon as we walked in, we immediately smelled the smell of rot, mold, and the disgusting rancid smell.
It's a smell that only comes out after a corpse is severely decomposed.
I looked around the room. There was a severely decomposed corpse sitting on the kang. The human form was no longer visible, and the corpse was densely covered with flies, almost covering the entire person.
The bed on the kang was also extremely dirty. It was hard to imagine how the owner of this corpse lived when he was alive.
Taoist Yunxu took an old wooden clothes hanger from the side and carefully poked the corpse.
The corpse immediately fell straight down, and all the flies lying on the corpse suddenly flew up, including a large number of flies pouring out of the corpse's mouth.
For a moment, the whole room was full of flies, so the three of us had to swat at them and quickly retreat.
"That thing should have been attached to this body before, but it has left now."
As he spoke, Taoist Yunxu made some calculations with his fingers, and then his expression changed and he said: "Sishui is separated, so we should take a waterway. There is a big river outside the city."
After saying that, Taoist Yunxu quickly ran towards the outside of the city.
Wang Xiaozhe and I had no choice but to continue to follow.
After leaving this small town, there was indeed a big river in front of us.
Looking up at this time, there was a small boat faintly visible on the river. A dark figure stood in the middle of the boat, not rowing, just letting the boat float down the river and drifting all the way downstream.
"That's it, chase it quickly."
Taoist Yunxu shouted quickly.
"But... there's no boat?"
Wang Xiaozhe touched his nose and said helplessly.
"Now there is."
I said and threw a paper boat in my hand into the river in front of me.
The paper boat immediately swelled up against the storm, and in an instant it turned into a normal-sized boat, floating on the river.
When I saw the boat just now, I guessed that the figure must be the God of Plague, so I made an immediate decision and folded a paper boat out.
This art of creation and transformation comes in handy at this time.
I touched the ground with my toes, then jumped directly onto the bow of the boat.
Then I quickly called to Wang Xiaozhe and Taoist Yunxu, "Come up quickly, I can catch up with it."
When the two saw it, they quickly jumped on the boat.
"My little friend, this art of creation and transformation is really mysterious."
After Taoist Yunxu got on the boat, he sincerely praised him.
"Okay."
I was modest for a moment, then quickly made my hands into a shu and pointed forward.
The paper boat under his feet immediately quickly chased after the boat in front.
