Five days later.

A black rock juts out of the cliff, and a few fiery red weeds grow on the rock surface.

The black rock is in a semi-circular circle, and the thinner the rock becomes the longer it stretches out, reaching the edge only an inch thick. There is also a ring of protruding black rocks a few feet below, so that there are dozens of layers from top to bottom. Some extend several feet, others only a few feet.

Five days ago, the black rock protruding from the cliff had broken one layer after another, and a person's body had broken more than a dozen layers one after another before falling on the black rock below.

And this piece of black rock was pressed by this person's body, and cracks also appeared, and it was almost unbearable, and it would break with a little force.

The man lay quietly on the crumbling black rock for five days, unknown to him, until five days later, at noon.

The sun in the depths of winter was very soft, but it also looked red when it shone on the man's face for a long time.

He is Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang fell from the cliff, was stopped by the black rock in mid-air, and only stopped after breaking layer after layer of rock, and finally did not fall into the abyss.

His brow moved.

Suddenly, a fiery bird fell, and two claws stepped on both of his faces, one left and one right.

Bird's talons are hot, hotter than the sun.

Zhou Yang felt the itch and opened his eyes with some effort.

The bird also noticed his movements, its head swayed, its eyes red and purple, and it was staring at him curiously, not afraid of people.

Zhou Yang was startled, and his right hand subconsciously slapped towards the bird, and the bird glanced at him dissatisfied, spread its wings, and rose into the air.

The flaming bird did not fly into the sky, but slammed straight into the cliff.

Zhou Yang felt very strange, and said in his heart, did this bird have to commit suicide?

But the picture he had imagined did not appear, and the bird slammed into the rock wall and suddenly disappeared.

"No, there is a hole in the cliff!" Zhou Yang was stunned, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, as if every time he had an accident, it was related to the cave.

As soon as his body moved, he felt the black rock creak beneath him, and then his body suddenly fell with the broken rock.

Zhou Yang laughed miserably: "The sky is going to be destroyed, no one can stop it!"

But after only a few breaths, he heard a "bang!" sound, and he fell heavily on a protruding black rock, and his teeth were straight in pain.

Strange, this hanging is too low, right?

Zhou Yang, who was dizzy and dizzy, felt like he had been stabbed in the lower abdomen, and he almost fainted in pain.

The abdomen of the knife was already slowly condensed, and the wound on the chest was not too deep, but with this fall, the two wounds cracked open again, and the blood immediately overflowed. Wound after injury, it's painful.

But he didn't die.

Zhou Yang endured the great pain and touched it in his arms, and the storage bag was still there. Not only that, but even the skin returned by the Black Armor Guard is also there.

He took out three pills from the storage bag and swallowed them, tore off his clothes and wrapped them around his abdomen, then closed his eyes and breathed.

It took nearly an hour before Zhou Yang woke up again.

He was seriously injured, his abdomen was stabbed deep by a knife, he lost too much blood, and he felt that he had no strength in his body at this time.

He reluctantly turned his head to look around, and suddenly there was an agitation!

I am not at the bottom of the cliff, but still on a protruding black rock, and below the black rock is an abyss with no bottom in sight!

His body stiffened, fearing that the rock would break again.

"What's wrong with her?" won't she ......" After a moment's breath, Zhou Yang immediately thought of Sima Ling'er, and then gritted his teeth: "Master, if I don't die, I will have a blessing in the future!" Ling Chengtong, the debt you owe me will be repaid by you a hundredfold, a thousandfold, and a thousandfold!"

After a while, he moved with difficulty, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because there was a squeak from Heiyan again.

"What is this broken black rock made of, why is it so thin!" Zhou Yang didn't dare to move again, paused slightly, carefully inspected the entire black rock, and made sure that there was no big problem, before he moved cautiously again, and then slowly crawled in the direction of the mountain.

Every movement involved the wound, but in a few breaths, a cold sweat broke out. Coupled with the fear that the black rock would break, it took him a full cup of tea to reach the mountain.

There was a hot wind blowing out of the dark mountain.

Sure enough, there was a cave entrance, but the bird did not disappear from this hole, but from above, indicating that there was also a cave above. Is it so difficult that there are two caves that are separated by more than ten zhang?

Confused, he slowly approached the hole below.

The entrance of the cave is not big, about half a zhang high, and the width is a few zhang, and people cannot enter it upright.

He stood up in pain, bowed and walked into the cave.

Inside the cave, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen. However, it felt like he was going down, and the further down he went, the hotter it became, and large droplets of sweat gradually appeared on his head.

After walking down for about hundreds of zhang with difficulty, Zhou Yang had to stop and rest in pain.

After about a pillar of incense, Zhou Yang continued to descend. After walking for about a few hundred feet, the front gradually brightened, and the cave was able to straighten up.

After a few moments, a wave of heat hit him in the face, as if he were grilling in a fire.

"Is it difficult to have a fire down there?" With the thought of this, Zhou Yang quickened his pace. After going down for more than 100 zhang, I found that there were clusters of flames beating in front of me!

His eyesight was good, and at a glance he saw the fiery red bird flying in the flames!

"A bird that can survive on earth and fire must be extraordinary, but it's so strange!" Zhou Yang thought secretly, but he didn't have any fear, because he had scared away one of these firebirds just now.

In addition to the legendary phoenix bird, he has also heard people say that there is indeed a bird born from fire, but he forgot what it was called.

"Then I'll call you the Firebird." A rare smile appeared on Zhou Yang's face.

"I should have gone to the bottom of this mountain, for only underground fire can occur. From that black rock to the ground, it is only one or two thousand zhang, so there are at least several thousand zhang from the black rock to the peak of the hot spring. He fell from the top of the peak, such a high distance, if it weren't for this layer of black rock, he would definitely die!" Secretly thinking to himself, he walked dozens of steps, and was already close to the raging earth fire.

The fire here is more than ten acres in size, and everywhere is the red flame that constantly rises and falls, and the heat wave is rolling, scorching endlessly, as if you are in a huge furnace.

The earth-fire birds are so close to the earth-fire that if they don't move, they can't tell which ones are birds and which ones are earth-fire. Even if it flies, it is very similar to a jumping flame.

Zhou Yang was already sweating profusely, and he was a little suffocated when he roasted it, but the stones under his feet were so hot that he couldn't stand.

The heat was so unbearable that he peeled off his torn clothes, revealing his muscles that were not strong.

When he untied his shirt, he put the storage bag in his arms on the rock, but as soon as he untied the skin bag around his waist, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and his right hand subconsciously covered it, and the skin bag in his hand fell on the rock, and after a few slidings, it fell into the ground fire.

Immediately, there was a burst of meat smell around, followed by a burnt smell.

It turned out that he still had a piece of wild boar meat in his skin that had not been roasted, and at this time he was roasted with a piece of meat in his skin bag.

Smelling the smell of meat, Zhou Yang felt empty and hungry, and he didn't know that he hadn't eaten for a few days.

"The only piece of pork has turned into charcoal, and I still have a bird!"

But as soon as he cursed, he felt that he really had to eat a bird, for he raised his eyes and saw the earth-fire bird, and his eyes immediately lit up.

At present, he is wounded, hungry and tired, and is in urgent need of food to satisfy his hunger. However, now that he is seriously injured, the Yuan Force can hardly be used, and the Earth Firebird is flying in the flames, how can he catch it?

By the way, there should be a sword in the storage bag, which is his own sword. The one used on the Hot Spring Peak was received by Ling'er when she was a guard, and the sword and the moonlight halberd all fell into the sky.

Enduring hunger and pain, he breathed for a moment on a black rock next to the earthfire, and then took out his longsword, stared at the earthfirebirds, and began to look for an opportunity to attack.

Although those birds are not too afraid of people and their eyesight is not strong, they are very clever and do not fly to him at all, Zhou Yang is helpless.

He looked around, more than a dozen acres of land and fire were surrounded by jagged black rocks, and when he looked up, there were still black stones above his head.

"Huh?" Zhou Yang suddenly found that dozens of zhang ahead, there was a huge black rock. The black rock is very high, and the lower layers of the sides extend in a stepped downward pattern, one side extending to the ground and the other directly into the depths of the earthfire.

The black rocks below are neat, like steps.

It can't be natural, it must be artificial! That is, someone has been here and done something in the fire!

This discovery shocked Zhou Yang's spirit.

He struggled forward, slowly walking towards the giant black rock. The distance of dozens of zhang took half a column of incense.

When he finally arrived, he ascended the stairs to the top, and in a short time reached the top, and then descended slowly until he reached about a third of the way to the center of the fire.

The temperature here has risen a lot, and he is a little out of breath from the heat. However, there was a noticeable increase in the number of firebirds here, and they flew past him from time to time.

After resting for a while, Zhou Yang clenched his long sword and hung it slightly above the earth fire, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, an earth-firebird was about to pass by, and his hand was quick, and he stabbed it with a sword, hitting the bird right in the body. The bird let out a wail and fluttered on the sword a few times before it stopped beating, but no blood flowed.

Just this time, Zhou Yang was very tired, and almost made the wound burst again.

He shook his head and said secretly, isn't this a life in exchange for food? But when he finally had something to wrap around, he began to clean up the firebirds.

Toba was very hot and not afraid of fire, so he thought it was special, so he put it in a storage bag. The meat is also red and hard, which is completely different from the meat of ordinary large birds.

After plucking the feathers and taking out the internal organs, Zhou Yang skewered the processed ground firebird on the long sword and began to grill.

This bird is so special, it has been roasted for a long time, and he doesn't know whether it is raw or cooked. until the smell of meat wafts out, and he eats it.
