"Hiss!"

  This morning, the little guy spat out a letter, meaning to take it out and have a look. But when I just twisted my body, a "crack" sound came from all over my body.

  I felt a surge of joy, as I sensed that I had become much stronger. It seemed that I had absorbed the benefits brought by the sunlight from this sunflower.

  I only just thought of looking up at that mysterious sunflower, and now it's like the mushroom in the sewer last time - this sunflower has also become somewhat withered, and its light has faded a lot, probably because it was absorbed by me and Little Firebird.

  But I'm not worried, if I didn't guess wrong, it should be restored again, it's just a matter of time. But from this point, I finally understood one thing.

  It turned out that the intense battle between the Firebird and the Giant Ape was actually for this mysterious Sunflower...

  In fact, the giant ape had encountered this sunflower before and knew it could bring benefits to itself, so it settled in this cave.

  Previously, some animals had also discovered this place, but were killed by the giant ape. Some hunters also found this mysterious cave, but as soon as they entered, they were torn apart by the giant ape that rushed out of the cave.

  To protect the sunflowers in this cave, the giant ape was extremely careful, but one day, the firebird also inadvertently discovered this place.

  However, the firebird can fly and is also quite intelligent, so the giant ape cannot do anything about it. In the end, when there's no other way, the giant ape has to temporarily let it have a share of the beautiful soup as well.

  But as time went on, they slowly evolved into fierce beasts, also gained spirituality, and absorbed more and more of the sunflower's light, eventually causing the sunflower to wither away slowly. When it recovers next time, it will take several days again.

  At this time, both sides had the idea of monopolizing it. In fact, the Firebird was the first to take action, because it thought that this sunflower could be beneficial to itself, and whether it would also be beneficial to its own children?

  Thinking of this, he originally wanted to tell the giant ape to let his own children come too, but the giant ape got angry. This sunflower is not enough for them to absorb now, and it's even more impossible for the giant ape to agree to bring its children here.

  But the anxious Firebird hatched a plan to kill or drive away the giant ape, and one day when the ape went out foraging, the Firebird secretly followed it and then suddenly launched an attack.

  The giant ape reacted, immediately furious, and it had also wanted to kill the firebird before, but hadn't taken action yet. You're the one who started with me first, fine, I won't be polite, let's settle this once and for all!

  Then it was the same scene as last time, they were desperately killing each other, and after both were injured, they encountered a pack of wolves, and I intervened to save them.

  After I and the glasses snake left, the two guys were all prostrate on the ground. Finally, you looked at me, I looked at you, and didn't know what to think about. Then the giant ape said, even a snake can tell that everyone is a fierce beast, and knows to save them when they are in trouble.

  And yet, after evolving together for so long, they still slaughter each other. The animals have become intelligent and have their own thoughts, so the Firebird apologized to the Giant Ape after understanding, and the Giant Ape was also moved by my previous rescue of them, and accepted the Firebird's apology.

  The two guys made up again and discussed whether to find me, then come to their cave to share the light of this sunflower with me. After all, I have a favor for them. If it weren't for me saving them, they would probably be buried in the wolf's belly by now.

  After discussing, the two guys first ran into the cave together to absorb the sunlight of the sunflower, recovering from their injuries. After recovering, the firebird was worried about its child, so it decided to return and take a look at the little firebird, but unexpectedly, I was taking care of its child.

  The little firebird was even more moved, and hastily brought me into the cave. The giant ape, after this incident, didn't seem to mind as much anymore. When it saw the little firebird arrive, it didn't say anything, but instead ran out with the big firebird to keep watch for us, because they knew that when absorbing this light, we would enter a state of sleep, and also because wild beasts occasionally came by here, so they guarded the entrance of the cave.

  But now I was awakened by a loud roar from the giant ape, and it must have encountered something to make such a sound. At this time, I didn't care about anything else, and directly rushed out with Xiao Huo Niao.

  "Huh? Someone's here!" Just as I was about to climb up to the entrance, I suddenly caught a whiff of human scent, and it seemed like there were quite a few people.

  He rushed outwards, and I looked up to see about ten people rushing towards us from about a hundred meters away. These people were wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying micro-submachine guns.

  I was startled and wondered why troops would be running here. Were they here for a drill or to catch me? But I knew the latter possibility was higher.

  The giant ape and the firebird stared intently ahead, normally they would have charged forward and bitten them to death, but now they saw the guns in those people's hands and were somewhat afraid.

  Because in the past, when hunters came to the mountain to hunt, they were not yet ferocious beasts. At that time, they had suffered at the hands of those hunters under their guns. When they saw those guns now, if there were only one or two people, they would not be afraid. But now there were more than ten people, all with guns in hand, so they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.

  Because the glasses snake was afraid of the giant ape and the firebird, it didn't enter the cave earlier, but instead coiled up beside it to rest. When it saw me come out, it also sensed that something was off, so it immediately rushed over to my side and asked me what had happened. I briefly told it about the whole thing.

  To be honest, I'm also very scared because they all have micro-submachine guns, this thing is too powerful, if more than ten people fire together, even if we are fierce beasts, we will be shot into a hornet's nest.

  When I heard the giant ape's angry roar just now, those people slowed down their pace and slowly felt their way over here. I climbed to the side of the giant ape and gestured to them to leave quickly, as those people were very fierce.

  The giant ape looked at the cave, meaning that it couldn't bear to part with the sunflowers inside. I was speechless for a moment, and then thought, when it becomes a beehive, can the sunflowers save it?

  As I saw those people getting closer and closer, my heart was filled with anxiety. Suddenly, I heard the voices of those people coming over "Captain, it seems that there is a giant ape on this side, but we haven't found any trace of that ferocious snake yet, please instruct!"

  Damn it, so these guys are really looking for me. Now they've found the giant ape, so they think I'm not here because normally a giant ape and I wouldn't be together.

  At that time, those people called their team leader on a satellite phone and waited for his instructions. I don't know what the other person said to them, then the man waved his hand and continued walking towards this side.

  It's over. How did these guys find this place? It seems that the Liu family is going to have a life-and-death struggle with me now. I must leave here immediately, and I cannot implicate Giant Ape and the two Firebirds.

  I immediately gestured to them again, meaning that I wanted to leave first and let them hide in the cave, not to come out.

  They're not stupid, they immediately understood that these humans were looking for me, so they said they wanted to fight with these people. I immediately shook my head and told them that these people are very powerful, especially those things in their hands, which could take their lives.

  But the two of them were quite righteous, saying that I had saved them before, and now they wanted to help me. The glasses snake also said to me: "Ji Chen, I'll follow you too, don't worry, if anyone dares to hurt you, I'll bite them to death!"

  When I heard them say that, I was really moved. It seems that animals will only truly be loyal to each other once they have formed a friendship, even if there is danger. Unlike humans, no matter how good the friendship is, it's possible to betray each other for some benefit, not to mention when life is at stake.

  Of course, before the giant ape and firebird were desperate that time, they didn't have friendship at first, but had no choice but to share the sunflower together. If not, they would not have thought of killing each other. But after I saved them, they actually established a true friendship now.

  As I see those people approaching, I have to tell them that I've dealt with such people before and know how to shake them off. If they follow me now, there will be too many targets and it'll be even harder to get rid of them, and we might lose our lives.

  Animals don't have as many thoughts as humans, so they chose to believe my well-intentioned lies and told me to get rid of them and come back sooner. They're waiting for me in the cave.

  The snake originally wanted to follow, then I let the firebird grab it with one claw and take it in. Only then did I feel at ease looking towards the cave entrance. Finally, I gritted my teeth and plunged headfirst into the thicket.
