"Be careful!"

Chen Jian was the shortest of the three, and because of this, the disadvantage of his low line of sight made him the first to notice the strange figure shuttling through the ceiling of the house—huge wings, apricot pupils, and falling feathers......

Chen Jian had never been so afraid of birds, and at this moment, he even wanted to run away.

"Wow, what?!" the madman heard the sound of whirring wings coming from the room behind him, and he jumped up and hid behind Bai Yao.

"There's a bird in there. Chen Jian's voice couldn't help trembling.

He didn't understand why he was so afraid, he didn't even see the whole picture of the giant bird, but the malice in his apricot eyes made his nerves beat suddenly, and the voice in his head kept warning him: Don't lean on the house!

Bai Yao stretched out her hand to block the two of them, as a traveler, she took the purpose of protecting the weak prisoners as a guideline, and at this moment she took a step forward to protect them.

The giant bird in the house made no more noise, as if luring them in.

"How can there be birds here?" Bai Yao muttered to himself, approaching the stone house.

"Hey, Bai Yao, be careful!"

Chen Jian didn't dare to step forward, and he was afraid that others would come forward.

He hallucinated, as if Bai Yao was about to experience terrible suffering.

He was deceived by the nickname "Interesting Bird Country". This joking title made him always think that the bird country was just a group of chirping strange birds, but the reality tore the beautiful reverie, the birds of the bird country were definitely more ferocious than any monster beast he had seen so far, and its cruelty came from nature—Chen Jian could see from that gaze—the giant bird looked at him like a human looking at a poultry.

Indifference –

It has no interest in hunting humans, just for survival.

Presumably, the appearance of the Yellow Emperor made them very angry, and their food forced them to sign an oath, and they could not cross the central mountain from now on.

"The White Maiden is dangerous!" said the madman in a shudder, "there are birds in there, there are birds!"

Bai Yao ignored the advice of the two, she picked up a branch from the side and threw it in through the main entrance.

The branches rolled twice on the ground, striking the stone slab with a clear clatter, and the sound echoed through the cramped stone house for a few seconds, and then died out of silence again.

"Strange, there's no movement. The madman wondered.

"Birds aren't stupid creatures, unlike you. Bai Yao said, "Chen Jian, are you sure you see the bird?"

"Hmm. Chen Jian nodded vigorously, trying to dispel the fear.

Bai Yao retreated to their side: "It seems that this bird is still inside, I don't know what it is going to do, but it must be here to steal the artifact, we must immediately tell the people of Central Mountain the news." ”

"This bird doesn't care?" the madman pointed to the house, "leave it at the Yellow Emperor Mountain?"

Bai Yao scratched the back of his neck impatiently.

She had been a traveler for a long time, but had never set foot in the north, let alone dealt with birds. She had no idea what was going on with the birds, why the bird had stopped making noises since it had taken refuge in the house, did it think it hadn't been discovered, couldn't the bird be so stupid, what was it waiting for?

Bai Yao looked around uneasily, the hot wind blowing up from the sea bent the trees, the heat distorted the vision, the skyline pulsed with the waves, this place was no different from any place in purgatory, full of rancidity, gore, and despair. Bai Yao couldn't feel the breath of other creatures, and there was only this giant bird on the Yellow Emperor Mountain.

"We ...... What should I do now?" Chen Jian saw that Bai Yao was impatient, so he asked in a low voice.

"Observe and observe first, if the enemy does not move, I will not move. Bai Yao sat cross-legged in front of the house, ready for a protracted battle.

"I can't help it—" the madman crawled to the ground and looked up at the ceiling like a dog, and by the red light reflected from the ground, the madman saw inside, "I see it, yellow eyes." ”

"Yellow eyes......" Bai Yao muttered, "Are you sure you see yellow eyes?"

"yes. ”

"Purgatory is only red, but it has yellow eyes. Bai Yao stated this chilling fact.

This is indeed very strange, Chen Jian thought to herself, purgatory only has red, all kinds of red—crimson, vermilion, crimson, purple, scarlet...... Why do the eyes of the lone bird have different colors of red? This also shows that the birds are extraordinary, and they may also be a clue to escape purgatory.

"It seems to have something to say. The madman continued.

"What?" Bai Yao stood up and looked on the ground like a madman, but her posture was much more elegant.

The birds' beaks were opening and closing, and they did seem to be saying something, but they couldn't hear the slightest sound.

Bai Yao suddenly clapped his hands and said: "I know what's going on!" The master once said that the Yellow Emperor had used traps to catch many birds alive, in order to blackmail Emperor Shaohao into letting go of the people who were caught in the north, and the traps would make the birds unable to chirp, unable to fly high, and trap the birds somewhere—this bird must have also fallen into the trap, and it tried to steal the artifact, but it was locked up in the house." ”

"Oh, really?" said the madman, "Hey, stupid bird, you can't move?"

After several provocations, the madman was still alive and well, and Bai Yao asked Chen Jian to go in together.

The three of them looked up at the giant bird clinging to the ceiling, its appearance like a vulture, its strong wings twisted against the wall, the thick rope that came out of nowhere bound the bird's body, it twisted its neck desperately, a painful wail came from its throat, and its yellow eyes showed despair.

Chen Jian saw its situation, and suddenly realized what the bird wanted to do just now - it heard the sound of people outside the house, and knew that it could not escape for the time being, so it tried its best to scare them away, but unfortunately its actions were only effective for the fledgling Chen Jian, and for the heartless madman and the old traveler Bai Yao, it undoubtedly made the other two more curious.

Bai Yao walked under the bird, marveling at the ingenuity of the Yellow Emperor's mechanism.

"Look!" said the madman, pointing to his wings as if he had discovered the treasure, "a drum!"

Chen Jian was stunned after hearing this.

A glossy drum is hidden among the bird's feathers, and if it weren't for a maniac looking closely, they might have missed it.

"It's the Thunder Drum. Bai Yao blinked, "What it wants to steal is the thunder drum!"

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The Bird Country risked breaking its oath to steal the Thunder Drum, which was clearly of special significance to the war.

Whether or not they want to take the drum to the country of wind is a very serious question.

Although Bai Yao doesn't care about the war between humans and birds, but now that the other party kicks his nose in the face, he actually collides directly with his target, she can't sit idly by, and she can't ignore it, once the war between humans and birds starts, the difficulty of purgatory exploration will be doubled, and she must defend herself against the attack of wild beasts and birds at the same time, which she doesn't want to see; moreover, the best place to dig a pit is the "Black Abyss" in the north, which is the territory of the Bird Country.

If you think about it this way, if you can take this opportunity to conquer the interesting bird country in one fell swoop......

A grand plan slowly appeared in Bai Yao's mind, and for the immortal prisoners, no matter how grand the plan was, it was just a drop in the ocean, and they always had time to complete it.

Chen Jian looked at Bai Yao and regained his composure: "Can you find a way to make it speak?"

"What are you going to do?" asked Bai Yao.

He smiled, "Let it tell me about the bird country, and—" He leaned into Bai Yao's ear and said what he thought.

Bai Yao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

She didn't expect that this prisoner, who seemed to be cowardly to the bones, would be the same as she thought.
