Gu Qiancheng didn't know how big the Fire City was. She only knew that after walking all the way north for more than ten days, the dry food she brought was about to run out. She hadn't left the woods yet, and of course she hadn't found anything to eat.
"If I can't find anything to eat anymore, I'm really going to starve to death here." Gu Qiancheng sat by the stream, nibbling the last of his dry food by the stream.
In the past few days, she had only eaten two meals a day. By the afternoon, she had no strength to walk, and she had been trying to hold on.
"Sigh... Is it possible that I am destined to die in the Fire City?" Gu Qiancheng looked up at the sky far away from her, and the pressure in her heart was getting bigger and bigger.
She could clearly see the sky, so why couldn't she go out?
Even if the Fire City is underground and very deep from the ground, it stands to reason that she can walk to the edge of the Fire City and then climb up, just like the Ice City.
However, after walking for so long, she couldn't even see a way out.
"I can't find a way out and I can't find the Flame Fruit. How can I be so miserable?" Gu Qiancheng smiled bitterly, but quickly cheered up again, "I don't believe in evil anymore. I can't get out in ten days. I
I’ll just walk for twenty days. If I can’t get out in twenty days, I’ll walk for two hundred days. As long as I can find food, I will definitely be able to get out!”
Gu Qiancheng stood up and carried the withered baggage on his back. His eyes were firm, his steps were steady, and he walked forward resolutely.
The woods are very big, but no matter how big the woods are, there is still a day to go out. Gu Qiancheng walked in the woods for fifteen days, and she had already finished her dry food. In the last few days, she could only eat leaves to satisfy her hunger, but even so, she still did not give up.
Still moving forward firmly.
If she goes forward, she may die on the road, but there is a possibility of getting out; if she goes back, she will never be able to get out.
"I can do it, I will definitely do it." The leaves were unable to fill her stomach, nor could they maintain the normal nutrients needed by the human body. Gu Qiancheng's body was already extremely weak. At this time, she relied solely on her tenacious willpower.
Only then can we get to where we are now.
But just when she thought she couldn't hold on anymore and would fall to this land forever, a strange fragrance came.
"What's the smell?" Just the smell made Gu Qiancheng's energy rise, but she didn't rush to find it, but pinched herself hard.
She was afraid that this was a fantasy she had before her death, just like the little match girl who fantasized about the warmth of a fire around her when she was extremely cold. And she fantasized about the aroma of food after she was extremely hungry.
"Hiss..." Gu Qiancheng pinched with all his strength, pinching her arm black, but it also made her completely awake.
The smell of food is real, not her imagination.
"Saved!" Human potential is unlimited. Seeing that the chance of survival is right in front of you, no matter how weak your body is, even if you feel that your body is too heavy to take a step forward, you can still force yourself to take two steps forward.
Ten meters, a hundred meters... After holding on for 500 meters, Gu Qiancheng saw it and saw a patch of red fruit.
"Fire Fruit! I finally found the Flame Fruit." Gu Qiancheng's eyes were shining, and he wanted to rush forward and pick them all off right now.
This is the flame fruit, the flame fruit that can save her son's life. It was because of the flame fruit that she ended up in this situation.
"And he's almost mature." Gu Qiancheng couldn't believe what he saw. He was afraid that he was dreaming, so he bit the tip of his tongue hard. He didn't believe it until he smelled the sweet and fishy taste in his mouth.
Everything is true.
"I found it, I found the flame fruit. I will definitely be able to go out, I will definitely be able to go out with the flame fruit." Looking at the patches of flame fruit, Gu Qiancheng burst into tears.
Her son was saved, and he no longer had to suffer from the cold poison.
"My child, my child..." Thinking of Long Bao, Gu Qiancheng's tears fell even more fiercely.
After crying hard, Gu Qiancheng wiped away his tears and walked to the flame fruit. He didn't care whether the flame fruit was ripe or not, and just picked it and put it in his mouth.
I don't know whether it's because the fruit is immature or something else, but the taste of the flame fruit is very strange. Eating it in your mouth is like chewing mud. There is an indescribable smell. Anyway, it is not the fragrance she smelled before.
However, Gu Qiancheng couldn't care about this now. She was almost starving to death, so she had the energy to care whether the fruit tasted good or bad. She would eat it first.
Although the flame fruit tastes very bad, the whole body feels warm after eating it. After eating two fruits, Gu Qiancheng feels that his whole body is full of strength.
"It's indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that it will take a few days to mature." After eating three pieces, Gu Qiancheng couldn't eat any more, so he chose a place not far away to sit down and rest.
She has been running all the way these past few days, which has put not only her body but also her mental pressure on her. She is afraid, afraid that she will not be able to find the flame fruit, afraid that she will not be able to find her way out.
Now that he finally found the Flame Fruit, Gu Qiancheng had put aside half of his mental arithmetic. As for the other half, he had to wait until he found a way out.
The flame fruit is not mature yet. Gu Qiancheng doesn't know how many days it will take to mature. He is afraid that all the flame fruits will fall into the fire slurry when they are mature. Gu Qiancheng does not dare to leave at all. He has been standing beside the flame fruit, waiting for the flames.
The fruit is ripe.
Gu Qiancheng didn't have to wait too long. Four days later, the flame fruit matured and its fragrance became stronger, even attracting a few wild beasts.
After eating the flame fruit for four days, Gu Qiancheng's physical strength has been completely restored, even better than at its peak. It is no problem to deal with a few small beasts, but she does not dare to take action easily.
God knows what is in this forest. What if these little beasts are just here to explore the way?
She can kill one or two, but she can't deal with a group. Moreover, there are not many flame fruits in this area. She only needs two fruits at most. There is no competition pressure between them, so why bother to fight.
Those beasts seemed to think so too. Although they kept staring at Gu Qiancheng, they had no intention of taking action. Their eyes would look at the flame fruit in the fire slurry from time to time, and their mouths would water.
As time passed, the flame fruits matured little by little, and when he saw that they were about to fall into the fire slurry, Gu Qiancheng quickly took action with his hands and feet, and grabbed two of the flame fruits the moment they fell.
And those beasts also jumped out like flying, their targets were also the flame fruits that were about to fall.
Unable to bite off more than he could chew, after Gu Qiancheng got two ripe flame fruits, he ran away with the fruits without looking back.
The maturity period of the flame fruit is too short. Although there are many flame fruits in this area, there are only a few that can be picked. She is afraid that those beasts will still not find enough after eating the flame fruits and will snatch them from her.
Facts have proved that Gu Qiancheng's worries were right. Those beasts were extremely agile, but even so, they only ate one flame fruit. When they tried to find other fruits, all the flame fruits had fallen into the trap.
There was so much fire that even the shadow could not be found.
Those beasts were very humane, and after eating the flame fruit, they went after Gu Qiancheng...
