16:14:22.
As the red sun slowly rose, the forest once again burst into life.
A rustling sound filled the air, and the curled-up red leaves in the sky unfolded once more, while the shorter shrubs and thorns on the ground unfurled their leaves,
Those slender, dangling dry strands, like the rebirth after death, from top to bottom, slowly moistened along the branches until they reddened, turning into a series of hanging blood vessels.
Various small flying insects converged from different corners, perching motionlessly on the blood vessels and greedily sipping the juice.
The black earthworms once again emerged, crawling down to the riverbed, moving towards the rotting fish bones by scent.
The large lizard peeked out from the tree hollow, crawling down the trunk the way it came, but now its belly was noticeably larger—it seemed it had happily claimed the neighbor in the tree hollow.
