A few weeks have gone by, and the heat has gotten so bad that the snake meat and the wolf meat seem to be very nutritious. The wolf has gotten better, and now the wolf wants to give the boy something to eat. The boy feels that he can understand the wolf, but the wolf keeps moving at a fast pace and doesn't exhaust him. A few days later, the wolf leads the boy to a cave in the forest, where the boy can see the fruit floating in the cave. He can't believe how tasty the fruit is, and he's so hungry that he has to eat it. He feels like his body is burning, and his consciousness is starting to break down. He tries to calm down the energy flowing through his body, but it's too much.
