Finale (10)
How big the fire city is, Gu Qiancheng doesn't know, she only knows that she has walked all the way north for more than ten days, and the dry food she brought is about to bottom out, she hasn't walked out of the woods yet, and of course she hasn't found anything to eat.
"I can't find anything to eat, I'm going to starve to death here." Gu Qiancheng sat by the creek and nibbled on the last dry food in the stream.
In the past few days, she has only eaten twice a day, and by the afternoon she has no strength to walk, and she has been struggling.
"Alas...... Could it be that I am destined to die in the city of fire? Gu Qiancheng looked up at the sky that was far, far away from her, and the pressure in her heart was getting bigger and bigger.
She can see the sky, why can't she go out?
Even if the Fire City was underground, very deep and deep from the ground, it stands to reason that she could walk to the edge of the Fire City and climb up, just like the Ice City.
However, she walked for so long, but she couldn't even see the shadow of a way out.
"I can't find a way out, 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, if I can't go out in ten days, I will go for twenty days, and if I can't go out in twenty days, I will go for two hundred days." As long as I can find something to eat, I will definitely be able to get out! ”
Gu Qiancheng stood up, put the shriveled burden on his back, his eyes were firm, his steps were steady, and he walked forward firmly.
The woods are very large, but no matter how big the woods are, there will be a day when they go out. Gu Qiancheng walked in the woods for fifteen days, the dry food had already been eaten, and in the last few days, she could only eat leaves to satisfy her hunger, but she still did not give up, and still moved forward firmly.
If she goes forward, she may die in the road, but there is also the possibility of going out; If she went back, she would never be able to get out.
"I can, I will." The leaves really can't fill their stomachs, and they can't maintain the normal nutrients that the human body needs, Gu Qiancheng's body is already too weak to work, and she can only get to this point with her tenacious willpower at this time.
But just when she thought that she couldn't hold it and would fall on this land forever, a strange fragrance came.
"What does it smell like?" Just the taste made Gu Qiancheng feel high, but she didn't rush to find it, but pinched herself hard.
She was afraid, afraid that this was her fantasy before she died, like the little match girl, fantasizing about the warmth of fire around her in the extreme cold. And she is after being extremely hungry, fantasizing about the aroma of food.
"Hiss......" Gu Qiancheng used all her strength to pinch her arm, and directly pinched her arm, but it also made her completely sober.
It was the smell of food, not her fantasy.
"Saved!" Human potential is unlimited, seeing that the opportunity to survive is in front of you, even if your body is weak, even if you feel that your body is so heavy that you can't take a step, you can still force yourself to take two steps forward.
10 meters, 100 meters...... After walking five hundred meters, Gu Qiancheng saw it and saw a piece of red fruit.
"Flame Fruit! I've finally found the Flame Fruit. Gu Qiancheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to rush forward now and take them all off.
This is a flame fruit, a flame fruit that can save her son's life, and it is for the flame fruit that she has fallen to this point.
"And it's going to be ripe." Gu Qiancheng couldn't believe what he saw, afraid that he was dreaming, so he bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, until he smelled the sweet smell in his mouth, Gu Qiancheng believed that this qiē was true.
"I've found it, I've found the Flame Fruit. I'm going to be able to get out, I'm going to be able to go out with the Flame Fruit. Looking at the patches of flame fruits, Gu Qiancheng burst into tears.
Her son was saved, and her son no longer had to suffer from the cold.
"My child, my child......" Thinking of Long Bao, Gu Qiancheng's tears fell even more fiercely.
After crying fiercely, Gu Qiancheng wiped away his tears, walked to the side of the flame fruit, and regardless of whether the flame fruit was ripe or not, he directly picked it and sent it to his mouth.
I don't know if it's because the fruit is not ripe, or because of what, the taste of the flame fruit is very strange, eating it in the mouth is like gnawing on mud, an indescribable taste, anyway, it is not the fragrance she smelled before.
However, Gu Qiancheng can't care about these now, she is about to starve to death, so she has the energy to care whether the taste of this fruit is good or bad, she eats it first.
Although the taste of the flame fruit was very poor, his whole body was warm after eating it, but after eating two fruits, Gu Qiancheng felt that his whole body was full of strength.
"It's a good thing, but it's a pity that it will take a few days to mature." After eating three, Gu Qiancheng couldn't eat anymore, so he picked a place not far away to sit down and rest.
In the past few days, she has been running all the way, not only physically, but also under great mental pressure. I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the flame fruit, I'm afraid I can't find my way out.
Now, having finally found the Flame Fruit, Gu Qiancheng's heart is half relieved. As for the other half, we have to wait until we find a way out.
The flame fruit has not yet ribenched, and how many days it will take to ripen, Gu Qiancheng does not know. Afraid that after the flame fruit ripened, all of them would fall into the fire slurry, Gu Qiancheng didn't dare to leave at all, and kept staying next to the flame fruit, waiting for the flame fruit to ripen.
He didn't let Gu Qiancheng wait too long, and after four days, the flame fruit ripened, and the fragrance was even stronger, and even attracted a few beasts.
After eating the Flame Fruit for four days, Gu Qiancheng's body had all recovered, even better than in its heyday, and it was no problem to deal with a few little beasts, but she didn't dare to take it lightly.
God knows what's in this forest, and what if these little beasts are just here to explore the way, what will happen to them?
She can kill one or two, but she can't deal with a group. Moreover, there are not many flame fruits in this place, she needs two fruits at most, and there is no pressure to compete with each other, so why do it.
Those beasts seemed to think the same way, although they kept staring at Gu Qiancheng, they didn't mean to make a move, their eyes looked at the flame fruit in the fire slurry from time to time, and their saliva flowed.
Time passed minute by minute, the flame fruit was ripe little by little, and seeing that it was about to fall into the fire slurry, Gu Qiancheng quickly shot out with his hands and feet, and grabbed the two fruits at the moment when the flame fruit fell.
And those beasts also flew out, and the target was also the flame fruit that was about to fall.
Greedy and chewy, after Gu Qiancheng got the two ripe flame fruits, he didn't look back, and ran away with the fruits.
The ripening period of the flame fruit is too short, although there are many flame fruits in this area, but there are few that can really be picked. She was afraid, afraid that those beasts would not be enough after eating the Flame Fruit, and they would rob her.
Facts have proved that Gu Qiancheng's worries are right. Those beasts were extremely agile, but just like that, they only ate one flame fruit, and when they wanted to find other fruits, all the flame fruits had already fallen into the fire slurry, and they couldn't even find a shadow.
Those beasts were quite human, and after eating the Flame Fruit, they went to Gu Qiancheng......
