Five days later.
A black rock protrudes from the cliff, with a few fiery red weeds growing on the surface.
This black rock is in the shape of a semicircle, and as it extends toward the residence, the rock becomes thinner, reaching only an inch thick at the edge. There is also a circle of protruding black rocks a few feet below, with dozens of layers from top to bottom. Some extended several feet, and some only extended a few feet.
Five days ago, the protruding black rock on the cliff broke off layer by layer. A man's body broke off more than ten layers before falling on the black rock below.
And this piece of black rock has cracks due to the impact of this person's body. It is almost unable to withstand it and will break with a little force.
This man lay quietly on the crumbling black rock for five days, not knowing whether he was alive or dead until noon five days later.
The late winter sun was very soft, but even if it shone on that person's face for a long time, it looked red.
He is Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang fell from the cliff and was blocked by the black rock in mid-air. After breaking off layers of rocks, he stopped. In the end, he did not fall into the abyss.
At this time, his brows moved.
Suddenly, a fiery red bird landed, and its two claws stepped on his two cheeks, one on the left and the other on the right.
The bird's paws are hot, hotter than the sun.
Zhou Yang felt itchy and opened his eyes with some effort.
The bird also noticed his movements, its head swayed, its eyes were red and purple, and it was staring at him curiously, not afraid of people.
Zhou Yang was startled, and subconsciously swatted the bird with his right hand. The bird looked at him dissatisfied, spread its wings, and soared into the sky.
The fiery red bird did not fly into the sky, but crashed straight into the cliff.
Zhou Yang felt very strange and wondered if this bird was going to commit suicide?
But the picture he imagined did not appear. The bird hit the rock wall and suddenly disappeared.
"No, there is a cave on the cliff!" Zhou Yang was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly, as if every time he had an accident was related to the cave.
As soon as his body moved, he felt the black rock beneath him creak, and then his body suddenly fell down along with the broken rock.
Zhou Yang smiled miserably: "Heaven wants to destroy it, no one can stop it!"
But after only a few breaths, he heard a "bang!" and he fell heavily on a protruding black rock, his teeth hurting so much.
Strange, this cliff is too low, it only takes one step to reach the end?
Zhou Yang, who was stunned after being thrown, felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his lower abdomen. The pain was so painful that he almost fainted again.
The abdomen where the knife had been stabbed had gradually become knotted, and the wound on the chest was not too deep, but with this fall, the two wounds opened again, and blood immediately overflowed. Injury upon injury, it was almost too painful to live with.
But he didn't die after all.
Zhou Yang endured the severe pain and touched his arms, but the storage bag was still there. Not only that, but the skin returned by the black-armored guard was also there.
He took out three pills from his storage bag and swallowed them, then tore off his clothes and wrapped them around his abdomen, then closed his eyes and adjusted his breath.
Nearly an hour passed before Zhou Yang woke up again.
He was seriously injured, his abdomen was stabbed deeply with a knife, he lost too much blood, and he felt like he had no strength at this time.
He reluctantly turned his head and looked around, and suddenly he was shocked!
He was not at the bottom of Xuanya, but still on a protruding black rock. Under the black rock was an abyss with no bottom!
His body froze, fearing that the rock would break again.
"What's wrong with her? It's not possible..." After breathing for a moment, Zhou Yang thought of Sima Ling'er for the first time, and then gritted his teeth: "Young master, if I survived the disaster, I will be lucky! Ling Chengtong, you You must repay the debt you owe me a hundred times, a thousand times, or ten thousand times!"
After struggling for a while, he moved with difficulty, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat because the black rock squeaked again.
"What is this broken black rock made of? Why is it so thin!" Zhou Yang did not dare to move anymore. He paused for a moment and carefully inspected the entire black rock. After making sure that there were no major problems, he moved cautiously again, and then moved toward Climb slowly towards the mountain.
Every movement involved the wound, but within a few breaths he broke into a cold sweat from the pain. In addition, he was worried that the black rock would break, so it took him a cup of tea to reach the mountain.
There was actually hot wind blowing out of the dark mountain.
Sure enough, there was a cave entrance, but the bird did not disappear in this cave, but above it, indicating that there was also a cave above. Isn't it possible that there are two caves separated by more than ten feet?
He was confused and slowly approached the cave entrance below.
The entrance of the cave is not big, about half a foot high and about ten feet wide. People cannot enter upright.
He reluctantly stood up and walked towards the cave with his waist bent.
Entering the cave, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. But it felt like he was going down, and it was getting hotter as he went down, and big drops of sweat gradually appeared on his head.
After walking down for about a few hundred feet with difficulty, Zhou Yang was in so much pain that he had to stop and rest.
After about a stick of incense, Zhou Yang continued descending. After walking about a few hundred feet, the front gradually became brighter, and I could straighten up inside the cave.
After walking for a while, waves of heat hit his face, as if he was being roasted in a fire.
"Is it possible that there is fire down there?" With the thought, Zhou Yang quickened his pace. After descending for more than a hundred feet, I suddenly found clusters of flames beating in front of me!
His eyesight was very good, and he could spot the fiery red bird flying in the flames at a glance!
"A bird that can survive on earth and fire must be extraordinary, but it's so strange!" Zhou Yang thought to himself, but he didn't have any fear, because he had just scared away such a fire bird.
In addition to the legendary phoenix bird, he had also heard people talk about a bird that emerged from the fire, but he had forgotten its name.
"Then let's call you Earth Fire Bird." A rare smile appeared on Zhou Yang's face.
"I should be at the bottom of this mountain, because only underground fires can appear underground. It is only one or two thousand feet from the black rock to the ground, so there is at least several thousand feet from the black rock to the hot spring peak. I fell from the peak, At such a high distance, if it weren't for these layers of black rocks, he would definitely be dead!" Thinking to himself, he walked dozens of steps and was close to the raging ground fire.
The fire here is more than ten acres in size, and the red flames are constantly undulating and beating everywhere. The heat waves are rolling and burning endlessly, as if you are in a huge furnace.
The colors of the earth fire birds and the earth fire are very similar. If they don't move, you can't tell which ones are birds and which ones are the earth fires. Even if it flies, it is very similar to jumping flames.
Zhou Yang was already sweating profusely, and he was suffocating because of the heat. The stones under his feet were too hot to stand on.
The heat made him uncomfortable, so he took off his torn clothes, revealing his weak muscles.
When he unbuttoned his clothes, he placed the storage bag in his arms on the rock. But as soon as he untied the leather bag around his waist, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. He subconsciously covered it with his right hand, and the leather bag in his hand fell on the rock. , and a few more slides, and then he fell into the ground fire.
Immediately there was a smell of meat, followed by a burnt smell.
It turned out that there was an unfinished piece of wild boar meat in his skin bag, and now the skin and meat were roasted.
Smelling the smell of meat, Zhou Yang felt empty in his stomach and hungry. He didn't even know he hadn't eaten in several days.
"The only piece of pork turned into charcoal, and I still ate like a bird!" With no food, and no Bigu Pill, he would starve to death in a few days.
But as soon as he cursed, he felt that he was really in trouble, because he raised his eyes and saw the fire bird, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Currently he is injured, hungry and tired, and is in urgent need of food to satisfy his hunger. However, now that he was seriously injured and could hardly use his Yuan Power, and the Earth Fire Bird was flying around in the flames, how could he catch it?
By the way, there should be a sword in the storage bag, and that's his own sword. The one used on Hot Spring Peak was given to Ling Er when he was a guard. That sword and the moonlight halberd all fell into the cliff.
Enduring the hunger and pain, he adjusted his breath for a moment on a black rock next to the Earth Fire. Then he took out his long sword, stared at the Earth Fire Birds, and began to look for opportunities to strike.
Although those birds were not very afraid of people and their eyesight was not strong, they were very clever and did not fly towards him at all. Zhou Yang was helpless.
He looked around, and there were jagged black rocks around the dozens of acres of land fire. Looking up, the top of his head was still full of black rocks.
"Huh?" Zhou Yang suddenly discovered that a giant black rock stood dozens of feet ahead. The black rock is very high, with layers extending down on both sides in a staircase shape. One side extends to the ground, and the other side extends directly into the depths of the underground fire.
The black rocks below are very neat, like steps.
This cannot be formed naturally, it must be man-made! In other words, someone has been here and done something in the fire!
This discovery shocked Zhou Yang.
He walked hard and slowly towards the giant black rock. It took half a stick of incense to cover the distance of dozens of feet.
Finally arriving, he went up the stairs and reached the top in a short time, then slowly descended until he was about one-third of the way from the center of the ground fire.
The temperature here has increased a lot, making him breathless due to the heat. However, there were obviously more firebirds here, and they flew past him from time to time.
After resting for a moment, Zhou Yang held the long sword tightly, hung it slightly above the ground fire, and waited quietly.
Suddenly, a firebird was about to fly past him. With his quick hands and quick eyes, he stabbed the bird with his sword, hitting it right in the body. The bird let out a cry, fluttered on the sword a few times and then stopped beating, but no blood flowed out.
Just this time, Zhou Yang was very tired, and his wound almost burst again.
He shook his head and thought to himself that he was risking his life in exchange for food. But finally he had something to wrap his belly around, and he began to clean up the Firebird.
The bird feather was very hot and was not afraid of fire. He felt it was very special and put it away in the storage bag. The bird meat is also red and very hard, completely different from the meat of ordinary big birds.
After plucking the hair and taking out the internal organs, Zhou Yang skewered the prepared ground firebird on his long sword and started grilling it.
This bird was so special that even after roasting it for a long time, he didn’t know whether it was raw or cooked. When the aroma of meat wafted out, he started eating.
