Chapter 68: Save the Great Ape
The raging fire is endless, as if it wants to burn the body of the black giant ape to ashes before it stops.
The black giant ape lay on the ground, never moving.
"There will be no more movement. Zhang Xiaopaw thought so, because he couldn't think of the possibility that the black giant ape was still alive.
He knew that the black giant ape was strong and not afraid of fire, and he was burned to the point of white smoke after 300 rounds of fighting with the firebird, but he still beat the firebird's head alive, which explained everything very well. But this time it was different, this time the flame was not burning from the outside in, but from the inside out.
Zhang Xiaopaw saw it clearly, the red flame erupted from the body of the black giant ape, how fragile the internal organs were, without the protection of flesh and skin, directly exposed to the flames, I am afraid that it will be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the black giant ape standing in the fire, Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but feel sad and sad in his heart, and at the same time there was irresistible anger and fear of fate.
After regaining some strength, Zhang Xiaopaw got up, and after walking closer to observe, the little hope left in his heart was also shattered, and he felt that the black giant ape had no chance of survival.
In the flames, the huge body of the black giant ape had been burned to a gray-white color, and cracks thicker than a thumb were spread all over the body like spider webs, like firewood burning to the last inch of cracking. It has been completely burned through.
Gollum –
Zhang Xiaopu's shriveled stomach screamed out of place, and although the air was filled with the smell of burnt barbecue, it still hooked the worms in his stomach. The first is that he is really hungry, and the second is that he has not eaten cooked meat for a long, long time, and the birds are about to fade out of his mouth.
Syllable!
Zhang Xiaopu slapped his belly in distress, since he killed the Three-Eyed Sky Wolf King, he had become more and more afraid of hunger, because his hunger was different from before, and it had made him feel uncontrollable.
Just like ambushing the Bigtooth in the woods that night, he was drained of his strength after the first attack, and the intense hunger that swept through his body at that moment even gave him the terrifying idea of tearing human flesh.
At this moment, the hunger pang swept through his body, and he couldn't help but have the idea of eating the black giant ape, although he tried his best to control it, the saliva that kept coming out of his mouth betrayed his body's true reaction.
Fortunately, the black giant ape is a humanoid animal, and there is a serious mental obstacle to eating it, otherwise Zhang Xiaopu is really not sure if he can control the desire in his heart.
"No, I can't stand it!" Zhang Xiaopu pressed his belly with one hand, trying to make his empty stomach feel better, and kept wiping the saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth with the other.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the mutilated body of the firebird, and then he could not take his eyes off it.
"The more advanced the demon beast, the more its flesh and blood will be a great complement to the cultivator. In addition, their flesh and blood are also more delicious, because their flesh is nourished by the spiritual power of heaven and earth. ”
A sentence that Qi Rong'er said when she introduced the demon beast suddenly popped up in her mind, and Zhang Xiaopaw's gaze couldn't be taken away.
Strange to say, after the firebird whimpered, the flames on its body also disappeared, and did not burn its remains to ashes.
Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes were red with hunger, like a mad beast, he jumped onto the huge body of the firebird in three or two steps, and ran to the broken wing, the broken wing was still gurgling out, he didn't care about anything, lying on it and grunting and drinking, and then directly tore and ate the lean meat inside along the wound.
Bloody, fishy, sweet, fishy.
The meat is lean but not woody, tough and chewy.
It's just that the fishy smell is choking, and it's not delicious at all.
Zhang Xiaopaw wanted to cut a few pieces of big meat and take them to roast on the burning flame on the black giant ape, but he thought that it would be contaminated with the smell of the black giant ape's meat, and his stomach suddenly swelled, and he hurriedly dispelled the idea.
Eat it raw, don't the ancestors of human beings also drink Maoru's blood at the beginning.
One thing Qi Rong'er said was right, the flesh and blood of demon beasts were indeed a great supplement for cultivators, and Zhang Xiaopaw was full after only eating a few dozen catties. His eyes lit up, and he planned to dry the firebird's meat and make bacon, which would be a good ration.
It's dark.
Zhang Xiaopaw lay on his side on the soft feathers of the firebird with his chin propped up, and his two eyes stared at the flames jumping not far away. I feel that the corpse of the black giant ape is not too resistant to burning, several hours have passed, and the fire has not abated at all, and the fire is still whirring.
The feathers of the firebird were slippery and soft, and it was extremely comfortable to lie on it naked, and Zhang Xiaopai fell asleep unconsciously, and when he woke up the next morning.
The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look at the black giant ape, and when he looked over, he couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise, because the flames were still burning and the fire was still unabated. This scene made him frown, faintly feeling that something was wrong, jumping down from the firebird's body, and approaching to take a closer look.
But after turning around the black giant ape several times, Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't see anything wrong, so he could only scratch his head in confusion and mutter, "Isn't this black guy dead?"
As if in response to Zhang Xiaopaw's speculation, or just a pure coincidence, as soon as Zhang Xiaopaw's muttering fell, the flames on the black giant ape's body suddenly flashed, and then shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhang Xiaopaw saw it clearly, the flame was shrinking not because it was weakening and about to be extinguished, but it was shrinking into the black giant ape's body little by little.
"It's still alive! It's still fighting against fate!" Zhang Xiaopaw was surprised inexplicably.
"How can I help it?"
Zhang Xiaopaw paced back and forth, his brain was running rapidly, and he really wanted to help the black giant ape, but he had limited knowledge, and the only little understanding he had about the demon beast was the three words Qi Rong'er told him, and he didn't understand what kind of state the black giant ape was in at this time, so even if he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he couldn't think of a way to help the black giant ape.
He thought about dragging the black giant ape into the icy lake to cool it down, but he was afraid that the black giant ape's blazing body would encounter the cold lake water, and the cold and heat would be intense, and the whole body would explode directly.
After about a meal, the flames completely submerged into the black giant ape's body.
Its massive body was like a half-burned piece of charcoal, the surface of its body had been burned to a gray-black, and there were cracks crisscrossing it, while the surface was burning vigorously, red and translucent.
The inside of the black giant ape's body was already red and transparent, and through the cracks on the surface of the body, Zhang Xiaopaw could clearly see the blood vessels, bones, and internal organs buried in the flesh and blood.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Its heart was beating, slowly, but powerfully, and the blood in its veins was slowly flowing, except it looked more like flowing lava, and the rest of its organs were intact.
"Black-haired beast, come on!" Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help but clench his fists to cheer up the black giant ape.
Zhang Xiaopu paced around the black giant ape's massive body, and finally stopped above the black giant ape's head, his gaze falling on a black oval crystal the size of a fist in its head.
"This should be its demon pill. Zhang Xiaopaw looked at the oval crystal and reasoned, thinking of the Firebird Demon Pill that was swallowed by the black giant ape, he nodded understandingly, and said, "The more powerful the demon beast, the bigger the demon pill will be." ”
Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he took two steps forward against the scorching heat, staring at the black giant ape's demon pill, and after a while, he was sure that it was not he who was dazzled, but that the black giant ape's demon pill was indeed cracked with fine cracks. The cracks were so small and fine that they would have been hard to spot if it weren't for his good eyesight.
This discovery suddenly made Zhang Xiaopaw's heart half hang, the importance of the demon pill to the demon beast is self-evident, the demon pill is broken, and there is no doubt that he will die.
"Not true. Wrong. Zhang Xiaopu stared at the black giant ape's demon pill, shook his head again and again, and said: "Its demon pill is not black, because the flames have not eroded in, and the surrounding area is fiery red, so it will look black." Ahh
The new discovery made Zhang Xiaoshu can't help but exclaim, because he suddenly remembered the scene of fighting the cold current in the fog space, and he would live if he held the last piece of pure land, otherwise he would die.
The black giant ape's entire body was occupied by flames, and the last piece of pure land was its demon pill, if the flames eroded into it, it would kill its last life.
Click-
A subtle sound came into Zhang Xiaopa's ears, causing his half-hanging heart to rush directly to his throat, because the black giant ape's demon pill suddenly cracked a large crack, as wide as a fingernail.
Wow -
Zhang Xiaopu hurriedly ran to the right side of the black giant ape, looked at the heart of the black giant ape, and found that it was indeed the same as he guessed, the beating power of the black giant ape's heart was obviously weakened a lot.
"What should I do?!" Zhang Xiaopaw was anxious.
Calm down.
The more the landslide is in front of you, the more calm you must be.
Thinking of the village chief's grandfather's teachings, Zhang Xiaopaw forced himself to calm down. He thought back to the time when he fought against the cold snap, and felt that if someone could push him in the back, he would be able to block the cold snap's attack.
"Yes, push it!" Zhang Xiaopaw's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had grasped the point.
"How?"
"Energy, give it energy. ”
"Where is the energy?"
Zhang Xiaopu turned his head sharply and looked at the corpse of the firebird, and he thought of the flesh of the firebird. He had already tasted the firebird meat, which was rich in a lot of energy, and he only ate a few dozen catties to make up for the lack of energy in his body.
"But how do you let it eat in your stomach?" Zhang Xiaopai was in a difficult situation, the black giant ape was in a deep coma, and obviously could not swallow on its own.
"No matter, let's try it first. ”
He couldn't think of a way to get the black ape to eat the meat in his stomach, so he decided to throw the meat on the thick lips of the black giant ape, so that the roasted meat juice could flow down the lip and into its mouth, and if he couldn't eat the meat, he would drink some juice.
It's a pity that the corpse of the firebird is already cold, and the blood is coagulated, otherwise the blood of the firebird can be collected and poured directly into the mouth of the black giant ape.
As soon as he thought of it, Zhang Xiaopaw found a stone with sharp edges and corners, cut two large pieces of flesh on the firebird, picked it up and ran towards the black giant ape, but he stopped sharply as soon as he ran two steps, because he found that the black giant ape's head was too big and too high, and he was standing on the ground as high as the black giant ape's ears, and he couldn't reach the black giant ape's mouth at all.
Zhang Xiaopaw looked back at the broken wings of the firebird, and suddenly had an idea, put down the piece of meat, picked up the huge wings of the firebird, and put it on the face of the black giant ape.
"Holy shit, Lao Tzu is such a genius!" Looking at the ladder that had been erected, Zhang Xiaopaw praised himself fiercely.
The firebird's wings just rested on the tip of the black giant ape's nose, and he could throw meat into the black giant ape's mouth with one arm, which made Zhang Xiaopaw even more surprised that the feathers of the firebird did not burn when they encountered the fire, and it seemed to have the effect of heat insulation, and he could hardly feel the roasting when he stood on it.
Zizizi——
Zhang Xiaopaw threw a large piece of meat between the two lips of the black giant ape, and it was instantly roasted by the high temperature, and the juice kept gushing out. Just as Zhang Xiaopaw had planned, all the meat juice flowed down the gap between his lips and into the black giant ape's mouth.
Gollum –
Zhang Xiaopaw couldn't help swallowing his saliva, because the taste of barbecue was so fragrant, thinking of the taste of his raw food yesterday, and then smelling the aroma in the air, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhang Xiaopu was about to throw a second piece of meat when the black giant ape's mouth suddenly opened with a click, and the half-cooked piece of meat fell directly into its mouth.
Zhang Xiaopaw saw it clearly, as soon as the big piece of meat fell into the black giant ape's mouth, it instantly turned into a hot stream, and this hot flow did not enter the black giant ape's abdomen, but directly surged towards the top of the black giant ape's head.
Although Zhang Xiaopu couldn't see the final destination of the heat flow due to the obstruction of the firebird's wings, he was one hundred and eleven sure that it must have been absorbed by the demon pill, because he condescendingly and clearly saw the black giant ape's heart beating violently.
