Chapter 66: The Firebird

Snowy tornadoes, dancing white yarn for thousands of miles;

Standing near the lake, watching the blue waves.

There is wind and snow, there is lake and water, if there is a white coat and a sword, it should have the demeanor of a hero.

Zhang Xiaopaw sighed, he didn't have a sword in white, so he didn't have the demeanor of a hero. Of course, even if he has a sword in white, he still won't have the demeanor of a hero, because he is not a hero at all.

How can a hero go hungry?

Even if a hero can go hungry, he won't go hungry with a bare butt.

Even if the hero is hungry with his bare buttocks, he will not stand bare-chested and hungry in the wind and snow.

Even if the hero stands-

So he is definitely not a hero, he is just a nobody, a nobody who has been rubbed and abused by black-haired beasts.

Bare ass is bare ass, anyway, no one can see the deep mountains and old forests.

Standing in the wind and snow is standing in the wind and snow, anyway, the body has a strong ability to resist cold, and it doesn't feel cold at all.

But you can't go hungry.

Zhang Xiaozhu found a sharp stone, caught a large white fish, and tried to cut its body. The result surprised Zhang Xiaopaw, compared to its steel-hard braincase, its skin was not tough at all, and it was cut open with a slight force.

It's strange to say that with such a low temperature, it stands to reason that these big white fish should have frozen into hard ice fish, but no, their bodies are still soft.

Zhang Xiaopaw cut a small piece of fish meat from the back of the big white fish, put it in his mouth and tried to chew it, and his eyes couldn't help but light up. The meat is soft and tender, with an excellent taste, slightly fishy, but with a faint sweetness and fragrance. For Zhang Xiaopaw, this fish meat is enough to be called delicious.

There is a lesson from the past, Zhang Xiaopaw did not dare to eat too much at one time, only ate about a pound of fish, sat in place after eating, waited for a reaction, waited for about a quarter of an hour, and only then opened his stomach to eat after making sure that there were no adverse reactions.

While eating the fish, Zhang Xiaopaw recalled the bizarre encounter in the past three days.

Although his body has been frozen for the past three days, his consciousness has always been awake and busy, busy fighting against the cold that is raging in his body.

At the beginning of the freezing of his body, his consciousness was gradually blurred, but just as his consciousness was about to collapse, he suddenly felt a whirlwind of the heavens, and at the same time, a great suction force came, dragging him down rapidly, like the feeling of falling into an abyss.

Soon the sensation of the world spinning disappeared, the suction force also disappeared, and there was no sense of falling, and he was surprised to find himself entering a foggy space. The strange thing is that he clearly knows that he is not the real him at this moment, but the consciousness form that his consciousness conjures up according to his true body.

In front of him was a white, misty space, and behind him was a shallow, narrow stream, a thin stream to be exact, which was far from a stream because two fingers stood up side by side to cut it off.

The water meandered from afar, passed under his feet, and flowed into a misty space, where it was heading.

He heard the whirring of the wind and the sound of the rushing water in the foggy space, he had never seen the sea since he was a child, but for some reason he was very sure that the whirring sound was the sound of the sea breeze, and the sound of the rushing water was the sound of the waves.

However, he had no idea what the sea was like, but he was ten thousand sure that it was the sound of the sea breeze and waves.

Suddenly, a small clicking sound reached his ears, and he could not help but be shocked when he looked at it, only to see a cold current visible to the naked eye rushing from a distance, and the thin stream of water was being frozen rapidly.

He had a strong sense of crisis in the twilight, feeling that if he let the cold current rush all the way forward, invade the foggy space, and freeze the sea hidden in the foggy space, then he would really die.

With no way out, he rushed forward against the cold snap.

Strange to say, the cold current seemed to have turned into a physical object, and it was blocked by him with his hands, which felt like they were pushing against a soft but powerful wall of qi.

He pushed hard, pushed desperately, but he couldn't force the cold current to take a step back, but the cold current's momentum became stronger and stronger, forcing him back step by step.

He struggled to hold on, but in the end he was forced to retreat to the edge of the fog by the cold current, and he was only one step away from retreating into the fog, and the cold current would also invade the fog, but for some reason, just as victory was approaching, the cold current suddenly unloaded.

Zhang Xiaopu survived in a desperate situation, taking advantage of the situation to push the cold current back step by step, and the cold current would collapse a little with each step back, and finally completely collapse and disappear.

The tiny stream of water gradually melts and resumes its trickle.

Zhang Xiaopaw wanted to look back at the white fog space, but found that what he saw when he looked back was the real world, his consciousness was awakened and unprecedentedly clear, and his frozen body also regained consciousness, so he broke the ice covering his body with all his might.

"I don't know if the slap of the black-haired beast was intentional or unintentional?" Zhang Xiaopaw muttered suspiciously.

He wanted to thank the black giant ape for the slap, if it wasn't for that slap that made him eat a lot less fish beads, the cold current that invaded the white mist space would definitely be more ferocious, then he would definitely not be able to stop it. In other words, the black giant ape saved his life with a slap.

"Hope is intentional. Zhang Xiaopaw thought. Because if the black giant ape did it on purpose, it means that the black giant ape didn't want him to die. For him, this is undoubtedly the best message.

The snow stopped, and Zhang Xiaopaw was full.

He vowed that he would never eat another bite of sashimi if he had another bite to eat.

Whew-

The biting cold wind swept over his body, and Zhang Xiaopaw only felt a cool blow, and he didn't feel any coldness at all. His eyes lit up, and he knew that it must be the effect of eating fish beads, because although his body had a certain ability to resist cold before eating fish beads, he could still feel very cold when the mountain breeze blew, and now not only did he not feel the cold at all, but he also had a refreshing feeling of fresh breeze.

"This fish bead must be a rare treasure! Hey, it's a pity!" Zhang Xiaopu shook his head and regretted, feeling that the black giant ape ate so much, it was really a tyrannical thing, it was better to leave a few for him, let him take them out of the Black Forest to sell for money, and then buy a lot of food for the people in the village to eat.

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, I'll go down and grab a few. Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes flickered.

Digging birds up the trees and fishing in the river are his specialties.

As soon as he thought of it, Zhang Xiaopaw plunged into the lake with a grunt and swam into the deep water. The water of the lake is clear, and you can see dozens of steps from the bottom of the water. He swam to a similar depth, then stopped and waited, according to his previous experience in baiting, the big white fish would soon be found, but he held his breath and did not see the big white fish.

Zhang Xiaopaw floated to the surface of the water to change his breath and dived into the water again, but the result was still the same, as if the big white fish in the entire lake had been fished out by the black giant ape.

After tossing back and forth for half an hour, Zhang Xiaopaw finally went ashore empty-handed, extremely disappointed.

"Maybe it's because the fragrance on my body has disappeared, and I have lost my allure to the big white fish. Zhang Xiaopaw guessed.

"Where is that side of the lake?" Zhang Xiaopai's gaze looked at the other side of the lake.

His training in the past few days was in that area where the ground was relatively flat and square, if it wasn't for the black giant ape who brought him to the lake, he wouldn't have known that the area of the peak was so large, with mountains and lakes.

With a curious heart, Zhang Xiaopai went around the shore to the opposite side of the lake, but he was disappointed that there was nothing on the other side, and a hundred paces away was a cliff.

Looking at the white clouds in the endless abyss below the cliff, Zhang Xiaopaw only felt dizzy, his calves trembled, it was so high that he didn't even have the idea of climbing.

But right now, it was obviously a perfect opportunity to escape from the clutches of the black giant ape.

Zhang Xiaopaw sat on the edge of the cliff and was in a dilemma for a while. Do you run away at the risk of falling to your death, or do you continue to endure the humiliation and abuse of the black giant ape and look for a better chance to escape?

Just as he hesitated, the white clouds below the cliff suddenly roared, and a huge red mushroom cloud rose, and then all the clouds turned red and spread far away at a very fast speed, like a great fire.

Zhang Xiaopaw was startled by this sudden strange scene, and looked down the cliff, only to feel that there was a hot wind blowing up from the cliff.

Chirp –

Suddenly, a crisp and piercing birdsong came from under the cliff.

Zhang Xiaopaw looked intently, but did not see a big bird flying by. When the fox was suspicious, he saw a large red cloud suddenly rushing straight up.

Chirp –

Another piercing birdsong.

Zhang Xiaopaw heard it clearly, and it came from the rushing red clouds. He couldn't help but take a closer look, trying to find the big bird hidden in the red clouds, but after looking at it, he couldn't help but gasp, where was the red cloud, it was clearly a super big bird full of flames.

The thousands of miles of clouds under the cliff were red by the fierce flames burning on this giant bird.

I saw this huge firebird, its body was covered with fierce flames, its beak was like a flame spear, its feather crown was like a stream of fire, its wings were thirty zhang wide, its back was fifty zhang long, and its tail was fluttering with colorful feathers, just like the colorful glow hanging in the sky, its wings fluttered, and it rushed straight up to more than 100 zhang.

"Fire Phoenix-Phoenix?!" Zhang Xiaopu was dumbfounded, covered in flames, reborn from the fire, isn't it the legendary mythical beast Fire Phoenix?

In the blink of an eye, the firebird rushed up from the abyss.

Zhang Xiaopaw only felt the heat wave hit his face, and the temperature in the air rose rapidly, how dare he continue to stay on the edge of the cliff at the moment, hurriedly jumped back, and finally got into the lake with a bang, only exposed his head to the water, and waited quietly.

Chirp –

Whew-Whew-Whew-

Strangely, accompanied by the chirping of the firebird, there was also a scream like killing a pig.

Zhang Xiaopaw had a keen sense of hearing, and he caught the strange sound for the first time, and couldn't help but stretch his neck out of the water, wondering what was screaming.

Rumble!

The huge body of the firebird rose from the edge of the cliff, and the flames were swallowed, covering a radius of 100 steps.

The snow on the top of the mountain melted instantly, and even the lake seemed to warm up a lot.

Zhang Xiaopaw secretly rejoiced that he had the foresight to hide in the lake in advance, otherwise if he stood on the edge of the cliff stupidly, he was afraid that he would have been roasted now.

Wow - Wow - Wow -

Wow –

The strange cry sounded again, and Zhang Xiaopaw hurriedly looked up, only to see a big black guy hanging on the two paws of the firebird.

Looking closely, Zhang Xiaopaw's eyeballs almost didn't come out of his sockets, and the big black guy turned out to be a black giant ape that disappeared.

It's not good, the black giant ape was caught by the firebird, and the black giant ape was about to burp. This was Zhang Xiaopaw's first reaction.

But soon he found out that this was not the case, it was not the firebird that caught the black giant ape, but the black giant ape clung to the firebird's claws, and this black guy wanted to plot against the firebird, so he was forcibly brought to the nine heavens in the sky.

Zhang Xiaopu found the black giant ape, and the black giant ape seemed to have found Zhang Xiaopu, only to see it yelling at Zhang Xiaopu, and then flicked its right arm, throwing out a big bow and flying towards Zhang Xiaopaw.

Syllable!

The big bow landed right in front of Zhang Xiaopaw, splashing a splash.

"Whaha-" Zhang Xiaopaw woke up from his stunned stupor, and immediately laughed heartily, because he found that the black and shiny hair of the black giant ape had been burned clean by the flames of the firebird, and it looked very funny.

Of course, it's more of a sense of schadenfreude.
