The cave is oblate, extremely wide, and extremely high. The walls and floor of the cave are covered with white ash powder, which looks like it was formed by being baked by flames for a long time.
There are many huge paw prints on the ground, which look like the claws of a firebird.
From time to time, hot wind blows out of the cave, and the sound of "chirping" birds can be heard.
There are various signs that this cave must be the nest of the firebird, and there are other firebirds of its kind in the cave, and it seems that there is more than one bird singing.
Zhang Xiaozhu felt a thousand and ten thousand unwillingness to fight with the firebird in such a narrow space. The firebird would spit out fire and there would be no place to hide. It would be like an old man hanging himself and seeking death.
But the black giant ape didn't talk to him at all, nor did he allow him to talk. He stretched out his hand and patted him on the back, and he immediately rolled into the cave like a gourd rolling on the ground.
The cave winds downwards, and the slope is very steep. The black giant ape made a roaring sound, sat down on the ground, and used his hands and feet to slide down. Zhang Xiaopou rolled in front of it and couldn't stop even if he wanted to.
Zhang Xiaozu thought he would reach the end of the cave soon and see the firebird's nest. Unexpectedly, he slid all the way down and still didn't reach the end after half an hour. However, the temperature of the air continued to rise, and the hot air rushing towards him had already made him nervous.
It feels hard to breathe.
It was pitch dark all around, except for the roar of the giant black ape. The black guy seemed to be having a great time.
After turning another corner, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front of him. Zhang Xiaopou's nerves tightened instantly, and he held the bone knife in front of him to deal with the sudden danger. The light in front was not the incandescent light emitted by the noon sun, but like that of the noon sun.
The charcoal fire was burning red and bright, and he knew at just one glance that it was the light emitted by the firebird's flame, so the firebird's nest was in front of him, and he could clearly hear the call of the firebird coming from the bright place.
Seeing that a fierce battle was inevitable, Zhang Xiaopou just prayed to the black-haired beast not to trick him.
As the distance got closer, the light became stronger and stronger, and at the same time the temperature became higher and higher. Zhang Xiaozu was covered in sweat and almost suffocated by the heat, but the temperature was still rising rapidly, which made him depressed and speechless.
It felt like maybe Firebird didn't need to take action at all, the light and heat would have heated him to death.
"Fuck! Stop it! Stop it!"
Zhang Xiaozu suddenly stopped and screamed because he found that the road ahead was broken and there was a big pit ahead. Due to the sight, he could not see how deep the pit was for the time being, let alone what was inside.
It would be funny if the firebirds were waiting below with their mouths open, and the two of them dived into someone's mouth to deliver food from thousands of miles away.
"Hoo ho"
The black giant ape was having a great time, but he didn't care about Zhang Xiaopou's yelling and running forward while using his big feet to beat him.
"Big nigger, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go! Ah!" Zhang Xiaozhu yelled angrily, but then there was a scream. He was pushed down the pit by the black giant ape, his feet were dangling in the air, and his body fell downwards.
go.
Zhang Xiaozu hurriedly looked down, and secretly prayed that it would not be an abyss, let alone the mouth of the fire bird's brazier. His prayer was very effective. The bottom was neither an abyss nor the mouth of the fire bird's brazier, but red and hot.
, the gurgling red magma.
"What a bastard!"
Zhang Xiaozu's face was pale, and he was full of bitterness. He thought that falling into the magma underground would be worse than falling into the abyss, or falling into the mouth of the fire bird's brazier.
Soon after, Zhang Xiaozu discovered that the bottom of the pit was not entirely covered with magma. The area exposed to magma was only in the middle of the pit, a circular pool about three to four feet in diameter, and there were large holes all around the pool.
He landed in the open space, immediately twisted around, and jumped towards a convex smooth rock.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Xiaopeng's front feet landed, two fire dragons came towards him on his back feet. He was suddenly startled, and he heard two birds chirping at the same time. He was frightened, but he didn't panic at all, and he jumped easily
He dodged the attacks of two fire dragons.
In fact, he was always on guard in his heart. When he fell into the pit, the first thing he looked for was the figure of the firebird, because in his heart, the firebird was the most dangerous existence. However, he scanned the entire pit and could not find the figure of the firebird.
So he had to be vigilant and on guard.
Originally, he took it for granted that the firebird was hiding in the magma, so he focused most of his attention on the magma pool. Unexpectedly, the firebird was not hiding in the magma, but in the cave on the rock wall beside the pit. This was also his reason.
The reason why it was jumped next.
Chirp

Two firebirds walked out of the cave and shouted hostilely at Zhang Xiaopou and the black giant ape on the other side of the magma pool, as if asking them why they broke into their lair.
Zhang Xiaozhu's eyes fell on the two firebirds, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because the two firebirds swayed as they walked, like ducks. They were naked, with only sparse and soft down, not a single hair on their bodies.
There are no red flames in the large feathers, and the cry is immature. These are obviously two young birds.
However, even though it is a young bird, it is still huge, larger than an adult eagle.
Zhang Xiaopou couldn't help but hold his forehead, thinking that it was no wonder that the black-haired beast was so emboldened. It turned out that he had known for a long time that there were only two young birds in the nest, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Two more fire dragons attacked, but they were much weaker than the two fire dragons just now. They disintegrated without even spraying on Zhang Xiaopou. Obviously, the skills of these two young birds were very shallow.
Choo Choo Choo
The two young birds seemed to have self-awareness, knowing that their skills in playing with fire were still weak and could not deal with Zhang Xiaopou, so they stuck their heads and rushed towards Zhang Xiaopou, expecting to peck him with their beaks.
Zhang Xiaosu raised his bone knife and aimed it at the two baby birds that were staggering towards them, but immediately put the bone knife away. Because the bone knife was made from bones removed from the Great Firebird, and he used the bones of the Great Firebird to kill it.
It would be too cruel for young children.
Bang!
The black giant ape jumped across the magma pool and landed between Zhang Xiaozu and the two firebirds. When it landed, the huge impact knocked the two staggering baby birds to the ground. It stretched out its hand to grab the two baby birds, and the two baby birds fell into its palms.
Then turn around and walk towards the magma pool.
Zhang Xiaozu's scalp was numb. He knew that the two young birds would have no chance of survival in the hands of the black giant ape. He felt that it would be too cruel to kill all the black giant apes. But then he thought about it. He had caught rabbits, dug out bird's nests and dug up voles before.
Are they all from the same litter? Even if we compare them seriously, the methods he and his friends use to deal with prey are much crueler and crueler than those of the black giant ape.
There is nothing wrong with the weak eating the strong.
The black giant ape grabbed two baby birds and walked to the edge of the magma pool, and ripped off their heads. Blood spurted out from the cavity. It raised its hand to the void, and the blood spurted out seemed to be alive.
A stream of blood gathered in the air and fell in the direction it pointed.
sizzling
The blood fell into the magma pool, making a sizzling sound.
Zhang Xiaozu carried the suffocating heat and walked to the side of the black giant ape. He couldn't help but admire himself. He felt that his body had been tempered to the point where it was invulnerable to heat and cold. His body could not freeze to death even if he faced the magma directly.
It made it difficult for him to breathe, and his skin was so hot that it was completely within his tolerance.
He felt that he should really thank the Black Giant Ape. If it hadn't been for the Black Giant Ape's cruel torture and ravage, how could he have maintained such a strong body that was not afraid of hot or cold in just a few days.
Zhang Xiaozu stood next to the black giant ape and looked curiously at the spot where the blood spattered. He couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw it clearly. He found that the black giant ape was pouring the blood of the firebird into a fiery red plant.
This small seedling was not afraid of the scorching heat and took root directly in the red magma to grow. It was really incredible to Zhang Xiaozu, and he looked up and down in surprise.
The plant is completely fiery red, the same color as lava. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to spot it. It is about a foot tall, and has only five leaves on the stem. Each leaf is about two inches long, in the shape of a spindle with two tips and a wide middle.
There is a flower bud growing at the very top. The flower bud is still in bloom and is in bud.
With just one look, without any guessing, Zhang Xiaozu was absolutely certain that this plant was an extraordinary thing. A plant that could grow in magma, even thinking about it, he knew it was not an ordinary thing.
Zhang Xiaozu saw the blood heat of the firebird pouring on the fiery red plant. Its stems, leaves and flowers seemed to be irrigated by nutrients, becoming more and more colorful, especially the flowers, which actually opened a little.
With the continuous watering of blood, the flower bones open at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally bloom completely.
The strange thing is that there is no fragrant flower fragrance as Zhang Xiaozhu imagined, and there are only three petals. What is even stranger is that the middle of the flower is not a stamen, but a round fruit the size of an egg. The fruit has a smooth skin, but it is not red all over.
There is a spiral black stripe that spirals from the bottom to the top.
GuluGulu
The flowers bloomed, revealing the fruits hidden inside. The magma suddenly boiled violently, and there was no wind or waves. The hot slurry water set off waves, rushing from the edge of the pool to the center of the pool, and finally slapped hard on the fiery red plants.
In an instant, the fiery red plant was like a small boat, teetering on the stormy sea, and would be swallowed by the waves if not careful.
The black giant ape didn't seem to be worried at all about the fiery red plants being swallowed up by the violent lava. He actually sat down by the pool, grabbed the legs of a flamingo, stretched the flamingo's body above the lava, and started grilling it leisurely.
This time it did not greedily swallow the two firebirds, but threw the other one to Zhang Xiaopou.
The black giant ape was not worried, but Zhang Xiaopou was extremely nervous. He stared at the red fruit on the top of the fiery red plant without blinking, for fear that it would be knocked off by the waves and fall into the lava. He stared at it for a long time until his eyes were filled with tears.
My throat was sore and I didn't see any problems with Zhu Guo. Then I slowly felt relieved, grabbed the fire bird on the ground, and roasted it on the magma like the black giant ape.
The two firebirds were roasted one after another. One ape and the other had their mouths full of oil and almost swallowed their tongues together. The meat of the young bird was a hundred times more delicious than the adult one.
Zhang Xiaozu originally thought that he would find two more bone knives in the two young birds, but unexpectedly he searched every bone of the two young birds and could not find a single bone similar to the bone knives. He couldn't help being disappointed and guessing.
It may be that the baby bird is too young and has not yet developed this bone in its body.
Zhang Xiaozu walked around the big pit a few more times, carefully searching every inch of the land, hoping to find some other treasures. In the end, he found nothing except bird feathers, bird droppings, and piles of bones of unknown animals.
.I could only go back to the pool and sit down, staring at the fiery red plants in the center of the pool in a daze.
He knew that the black giant ape was waiting for the egg-sized fruit to mature.
I don’t know how long it took, it seemed to be three or four days, maybe five or six days. There was no sun and moon in the cave, so I couldn’t tell the time. Zhang Xiaozu only knew how many times he slept, and he didn’t know when he woke up suddenly.
I found that the magma pool calmed down at some point, the waves disappeared, the bubbles stopped appearing, and even the surge stopped.
The red fruit swelled a bit, became more transparent overall, and its color changed from bright red to deep red. There seemed to be a glimmer of light flowing under the translucent skin, making people want to take a bite.
Suddenly, the stems, leaves and flowers of the fiery red plant began to fade, and all the red color rushed to the top fruits, making the red fruits darker and darker in color.
When all the red color of the stems, leaves and flowers faded, the whole plant quickly withered. At the same time, a strange fragrance emanated from the red fruit. The refreshing sweet fruity fragrance made Zhang Xiaozu's mouth water like a waterfall.
The black giant ape was also salivating. He grabbed the Zhu Guo void and uprooted it.
Zhang Xiaozu watched eagerly as the red fruit flew into the hands of the black giant ape with roots and leaves, hoping that it would be merciful and give him a bite to taste the red fruit, otherwise he would feel regretful and unable to sleep at night.
