Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

We fell behind the group when a sudden downpour started. To survive, we had no choice but to climb onto the foxtail grass behind us to avoid drowning.

But once I got up there, I realized it was even more dangerous up there; the strong winds were unbearable.

Facing the strong north wind and the icy rain, I felt my vision begin to blur. I don't know if it was because of the rain or because of myself, but I felt myself slowly sliding backward.

I felt like I could be thrown off at any moment, and I even felt death approaching.

I almost cried. It felt like I was an ant with enough food, then I turned into a fly to find my phone, then found the girl who cursed me, and then I had to figure out how to become human again.

Why is it so difficult? Almost nothing went smoothly along the way. I thought I would be safe once I reached the ant nest, but I still encountered the ants moving house and then a storm. Why am I so unlucky?

I'm not Kogoro Mouri, where trouble happens wherever I go. I'm almost in tears.

If I ever become a human, I swear I'll never meet any female netizens again.

I was truly exhausted. Slowly, my body began to slide outwards. The wind was so strong that a wave crashed over me, and I finally let go of the foxtail grass.

The moment I was flung away by that foxtail grass, I felt utterly hopeless. This time, I was completely doomed. Even if I didn't die from the fall, I would drown, and even if I didn't drown, I would probably freeze to death.

I closed my eyes; I basically had no hope this time. All I was thinking was that I shouldn't die too badly.

But after a while, the pain I had imagined from falling to the ground didn't come, and I opened my eyes in confusion.

I saw that Dafu had a hard time wrapping its tail around my tail, and it pulled me along.

"Yi Mao Er, you can't die!" Da Fu cried out with great difficulty.

Actually, what I really wanted to say was, "Let me go, let me die, otherwise neither of us can survive!" But this isn't a movie.

I thought I was definitely going to die, but I didn't! I was so happy, so I quickly shouted to the big fish, "Don't let go of its tail! Hold on tight! I'm about to fall!" I was practically crying as I shouted.

Who wants to die when they can live? This isn't some melodramatic or ridiculous plot.

"I...I absolutely won't let my tail go!" I cried out with great difficulty.

However, I still felt that Dafu's body was being blown backward by the wind, and the foxtail grass was swaying in the wind.

This caused the mother maggot, Dafu, to cling desperately to the branch, and it seemed that Dafu wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

The wind showed no sign of stopping; the north wind howled, and the oppressive blackness of the sky gave me the feeling that I was about to go to hell.

The rain kept pounding on me, making me almost numb; the icy rain had made me so cold that I couldn't feel any pain.

Rumble…

A deafening clap of thunder echoed in the distance, followed by a brilliant flash of lightning that illuminated the entire sky, instantly turning night into day.

But the white light came and went quickly, disappearing in an instant. However, by the light of the lightning, I could see that Dafu on the foxtail grass had reached the very edge of the branches and leaves.

There was always the possibility of falling. I dared not think any further, I dared not speak, I dared not even imagine it.

Just when I was about to despair, the sky suddenly began to clear. The lightning bolt seemed to have cleaved the dark clouds in two. As the clouds drifted away, the sunset slowly appeared in the sky, and beautiful rays of sunlight shone down upon us.

The sky finally cleared up; we were finally saved.

I breathed a sigh of relief, my whole body relaxed, and I had escaped death once again.

But I didn't feel happy for more than three seconds, I swear it didn't last more than three seconds, and then I felt myself lose gravity and fall to the ground.

It was only then that I remembered that I had been rescued by Dafu while I was hanging in mid-air. Dafu was also extremely exhausted. After finally being safe, he instinctively breathed a sigh of relief and then fell to the ground with me.

This is instinct. When you do something wholeheartedly, you don't feel tired. Even if you do feel tired, as long as you keep going with all your heart, you can keep going.

But once you finish what kept you going, and you relax, you'll feel incredibly tired. It's not just physical fatigue, but also psychological and mental fatigue.

That was clearly the case with Dafu. Seeing that the danger had passed, he relaxed and fell to the ground along with me.

I never imagined that the greatest danger would come so soon after the first one. I fell off that foxtail grass.

Fortunately, we didn't climb too high when we were climbing, because we just wanted to avoid drowning. But even if it wasn't high, falling headfirst into the ground is still an extremely dangerous thing.

So I got tangled up with that maggot's tail and fell to the ground like a nunchaku.

Paji...

It had just rained, and the ground was unusually soft. There was also a small puddle, which is why it made that sound when it fell to the ground.

Although I fell into a puddle, it still hurt terribly. I was already exhausted, and falling from that height almost knocked me out.

After falling to the ground, I didn't recover for a long time. I didn't even have the desire to move. It wasn't that I didn't want to move, but I simply didn't have the strength to move.

"Are you alright?" the soldier asked anxiously as he quickly crawled to our side.

"Do we look alright to you?" I said weakly, lying on the ground.

"If you can still talk, then you're alright." The soldier said casually as he walked over to Dafu.

"Is Dafu alright?" I asked anxiously. Dafu had been silent since it fell to the ground. I was worried something might have happened to it.

"It's nothing serious, I just fainted from exhaustion, I'll wake up in a bit," the soldier explained with a sigh of relief.

After saying that, he collapsed to the ground, looking extremely weak.

It's already a miracle that they didn't die in that situation; such a massive storm was far too dangerous.

I just want to lie on the ground and calm down. I don't want to do anything or think about anything. The physical and mental pressure I was under just now was too much.

But just then, a croaking sound suddenly came from the sky. I looked towards the sound and was so frightened that I almost fainted. A huge frog was hopping towards us...
