In the days of surviving in the fairy forest

With the squirrel in his mouth, Rick struggled to swim from the center of the magma to the shore, clawing at the black rocks on the bank with his paws, and it took a lot of effort to climb out of the magma.

The shore of the underground magma lake is covered by smooth and dark rocks, and the hot and viscous magma illuminates the entire cave, making it appear to be wide and huge.Many naturally formed rock openings are lined up on the rock wall, and the red light is shining inside, like the gloomy eyes of some creatures.

Rick had a feeling that he was watching a cave.It's just that compared to the crystal clear and cool cave, this cave always makes him feel a little weird and ominous.

He originally thought that the cave trap should have been dug by the aborigines of the volcanic forest, but looking around, seeing the magical underground cave and the rock so hard that even magma could not burn it, he felt a little different.

"Where is this place?" Li the squirrel grabbed the fur around the fox's ears, his voice was hurried, his tail trembling slightly, "There are so many holes, how do we get out—"

"Don't worry, there will always be an exit."

Reassuring the squirrel in a low voice, Rick took a deep breath, and instead of going out in a hurry, he stood on the spot, yelled loudly at the top, and then quickly turned around and jumped into the magma, revealing only a small The head observes secretly.

For a long time.

The echo of the fox's growl grew distant.

Nothing happened.

Rick came out of the magma in a dazed state, shook his head, the hot magma was thrown from the fox fur, fell to the ground, burst out bright flames, and quickly extinguished.

"Would you like to go to the depths?" Rick whispered, "It seems that there are no other animals here."

It's obviously not a good idea to worry blindly on the spot. Ali nodded in agreement, stretched out her claws to touch her back, felt empty, and suddenly froze, not even caring about her fear, and screamed while jumping: "Backpack! We My backpack is gone!"

Rick and Ali, who ate the sand fruit, are immune to magma, but the backpack made of caterpillar silk thread cannot be spared.Now, all the supplies of the fox and the mouse turned to ashes.

Rick also reacted, hugged his head with a cry, and said depressedly: "We have to find the exit quickly."

He originally wanted to use the worm silk in the backpack to mark the route he traveled, but now that the backpack is gone, he can only collect scattered stones and place the stones to determine the path he has traveled.

The flame ball surrounded his body, and Rick walked forward slowly, his ears pricked up alertly, and his eyes were sharp and clear.The squirrel sat on the fox's back, holding a large handful of stones in its arms, and dropped a piece on the ground every once in a while.

Just walking and stopping like this, after more than half an hour, they finally saw the faint light at the end of the stone corridor.

The two cubs, who were physically and mentally exhausted due to the dark and long stone corridor, cheered at the same time, quickened their pace and rushed forward.

As soon as he rushed out of the tunnel, he almost tripped over the stones on the ground. Rick stabilized his body, raised his head in disbelief, and saw the magma lake shining with a faint red light.

Rick/Ari: "..."

Pa Chi collapsed on the ground, and the foxes and mice drooped their ears and tails in frustration, not even caring about the dirty fur that was stained with black and ash on the ground.

"Another way?" Rick suggested.

Ali hesitated for a moment, looked towards the huge cave with an ominous red light shining from the very edge, and patted the fox's shriveled white belly with his paws: "How about going there? It's dangerous, but at least there will be rewards, so I won't turn around." Still at the original point for a long time.”

When I didn’t enter the volcanic forest, I ate a lot of snacks along the way, and I still had a few pieces of pine nuts stuffed in my cheek pouches. Ah Li would not be hungry immediately, but Rick didn’t eat much because he was on the road, and he walked away again just now. For a long time, I'm afraid it won't last too long.

If the two of them try their luck by changing the corridor, but accidentally choose a dead end that is the same length or even longer than the one just now, the result must be very bad.

Rick tilted his head, felt his physical state, and nodded decisively in agreement.

"Hide under me first," he told Ali solemnly, "If the bats over there are bats, they may grab you from my head directly, and neither of us can fly."

Holding a few sharp stones in his hand, Ah Li grabbed the fox's fur, and the whole squirrel was dangling under the fox's belly, but his face was still solemn and serious, which looked a bit funny.

The ball of flames spun around Rick, the nails on the tip of the fox's claws popped out, and the soft pads of the claws stepped on the rocks, landing silently.

The gloomy tunnel is full of boulders. As the fox approaches, the red light reflected by the flame ball shines on the stone wall, showing mottled and terrifying pits.The wind whizzed from nowhere like a beast whimpering, and the red light in the deeper part was still flickering.

Rick swallowed nervously, the fox fur all over his body was standing on end, frightened by the environment, his body was stiff, although he was still stepping forward cautiously, he kept glancing back from the corner of his eye, ready to run at any time road preparation.

The fox paw stepped on a flat stone and was about to jump forward, but the stone slid out sharply, and even Rick fell on the ground, the fox landed on his face and fell hard.

The stone slid fast, and Rick used too much force when he moved, and his pink and tender nose happened to hit the ground, causing his head to go blank for a moment in pain.

When he managed to slow down and raised his head with difficulty on his front paws, he heard a loud and violent rumbling sound from the depths of the corridor, like the footsteps of a large group of animals running.The voice was already quite loud, but it was squeezed into the narrow corridor and poured out all at once. The echo merged with the original sound, and the formation was quite grand.

The squirrel finally crawled out from under the fox, seeing him in a daze, he slapped him vigorously anxiously: "Get up!"

Rick moved his paws and smiled wryly: "I can't seem to move my legs."

The squirrel was startled.

As the sound got closer, Ali hesitated for a moment, looked at the relatively safe pits above the corridor, gritted his teeth, but still didn't go away, the squirrel's tail hooked the fox's paw, and dragged him aside with all his might.

The next moment, the raging crimson flooded the foxes and mice.

Rick raised his head in bewilderment, watching the round balls of flames jumping past him.These flame balls crowded and collided with each other, bouncing back and forth on the stone wall from time to time, chirping and laughing.

Rick finally understood how those strange pits on the stone wall appeared.

He lay down on the ground and watched stupidly, and happened to have a ball of flames passing by him, rolling towards the fox's head.Rick bit the dumpling reflexively, and before he could let go, the flaming dumpling turned into a puddle of ooze and was subconsciously swallowed by Rick.

The warm breath of flames flowed in the body, but in the blink of an eye, the hind legs that were so painful that they could not move just now had recovered. Rick stood up and smacked his lips with unsatisfied desire: "This is a fire chicken!"

"Huozhi chicken?" Ali crawled up to the top of the fox's head, "How do these flame balls look like chickens?"

Rick was very sure: "It tastes like chicken!"

Ah Li became interested in an instant.

These flame balls seem to have low IQs, and a fox standing in front of them didn't know how to hide. Rick stretched out his claws, casually picked up a ball and handed it to Ali.Ah Li bit one side of the dumpling, sucked the dumpling into his mouth like he was sucking juice, and then licked his paw: "It really tastes like chicken!"

Ah Li, who is immune to flames, does no harm if he eats the flame balls. Unfortunately, he is not a creature of the fire attribute, so he cannot get any real benefits. It is only equivalent to eating ordinary food, but it is very delicious.

Therefore, the squirrels just tasted it, and he stuffed the few squirrels he caught into Rick's mouth. After eating them, Rick's mouth was full of fire, and he could even burp out a ball of fire.

After eating the buffet for 10 minutes, the mighty army of turkey chickens finally passed by.

Rick quickly picked up Ali, and followed behind the flame balls.

After walking for a while, he returned to the outside of the tunnel again. At this time, the magma lake was already full of flame balls.These regiments are huddling together, jumping up and down in the lava lake.

The jumping ability of the turkeys is really amazing. Rick observed carefully and found that after jumping to the top, some of these turkeys even took several minutes to fall back into the magma lake, which shows how high they jumped.

The squirrel poked the fox's ear: "Maybe we can step on them?"

Rick nodded, thinking that he finally had the hope of seeing the sun again, he couldn't help being excited: "Come on, let's try."

Two jumped into the magma.

Numerous flame balls were rising and falling in the viscous magma, which looked like a cup of bright red pearl milk tea. With a squirrel in his mouth, Rick stepped on the balls and walked towards the middle of the magma lake.

Huo Huo Tuanzi's body was soft and elastic, and when his paw stepped on it, it left a faint plum blossom mark, and quickly returned to its original shape.The dumpling who had been stepped on seemed to still find it amusing, laughing loudly, and squeezed towards Rick and Ali one after another.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Rick hugged a jumping flame ball with his two paws, and was led by the flame ball to jump over the pit.

During the rapid jump, the gust of wind blew Rick's entire fox into squinting eyes, and Ali had to hold on to the fox's fur so as not to be blown away. The sun is faintly visible.

About ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, the speed of the flame ball slowed down, apparently reaching the limit of jumping.

Rick sighed inwardly, and silently prayed that the ball could hold on for a while longer. Unexpectedly, the flame ball suddenly squeaked and slammed into the stone wall next to the pit in a daze.

With a "bang", the dumpling gained momentum to continue jumping. Rick, who was hit by his head, felt dizzy, loosened his claws, and was almost thrown off by the dumpling.

The surface of the flame ball is smooth, like a balloon, with a strange liquid texture.Rick let go of his hand accidentally, and when he grabbed again, he could only catch a small piece of skin at the bottom of the dumpling. The round dumpling turned into a triangle, and the little tugging pulled out by the fox gradually rebounded. It won't be long. , Rick had to be forced to fall.

Rick flopped on his hind legs, trying to grab the dumpling, but to no avail.With a heartbroken heart, he simply dragged his front paws hard, jumped to the top with a backflip, and threw himself on Tuanzi at the exact spot.

When he passed by the smooth ball that was almost hard to grasp, Rick subconsciously opened his mouth and bit it.

"..."

Less than three meters from the entrance of the cave.The dumpling jumping aggressively turned into a puddle of soft mud.

Squirrel Ali covered her face speechlessly.

Until he fell into the magma lake again, Rick still had the crunchy taste of chicken in his mouth.
