Ye Liancheng suddenly felt nostalgic for Central Mountain, and he now knew that it had been three years since he had been in purgatory—maybe even longer. Knowing this time is because he met a member of the Gonglian team named Chen Jian in the center mountain, and it is impossible to know how long they have been separated from him.

These years were as short as the morning dawn of a big dream, and he only glimpsed the beginning of the future. He couldn't help but wonder what Wudang had become now, and how were those subversive members who had fought side by side with him doing well now?

He felt that his legs were unconscious, his body was flowing in the river called hallucinations, walking through the long, uninhabited wilderness, and the Ye Gang brothers who had followed him had left one after another, and looking back, only a dozen young prisoners who still had a sense of justice in their hearts were still following him.

"Helper, there's no one over there. "Another partner who is going farther away to inquire about intelligence is beckoning in the distance.

Hearing this, Ye Liancheng sighed coldly.

The aborigines seemed to have disappeared overnight, and the prisoners who had lived there had no trace of them, they seemed to have evaporated from the earth, and this strange atmosphere made him feel abandoned by purgatory, and the others seemed to secretly agree to send them into the mouths of birds.

Still, he felt a sense of relief that at least the person who had inquired had not left.

"Helper, what the hell is going on?"

Ye Liancheng didn't know how many times he had heard such questions along the way, but his subordinates still asked this sentence repeatedly, as if just asking questions could make the suspenseful heart feel at ease.

"Sanshou Country, Nie Er Country, Shenmu Country, and Gut No Country ......" Ye Liancheng patted the leggings covered with dust, "They are all gone, and the Bird Army has not expanded here, which can only mean that they have moved first, and we have to catch up with those aborigines." He called one of his men, who had been living in the west and knew more about the situation here, but even he could not tell why the natives had suddenly disappeared, at least in his impression, the people in all their forms showed no sign of abandoning the country.

"Could this be a trap set by the aborigines?"

"The aborigines want to harm us?" Ye Liancheng knew that the aborigines and the prisoners had irreconcilable contradictions, and the culprits were the prisoners from hundreds of years ago - they are still alive. Thinking of those old antiques, Ye Liancheng suddenly realized that they had ignored a key issue from beginning to end.

"Where are all the old prisoners?"

That's right, it's been a long time since he's met or heard of those veteran prisoners, who, like the natives, have disappeared into thin air!

A dark and soft thing scurried past his feet, and Ye Liancheng lowered his head in surprise to find that it was a mouse running wildly with food in his mouth. In the face of this animal, Ye Bang and the others, who need to fully recover their bodies, have always feasted on it, and this is also the case at this time, the astute prisoner on the side is ready to throw a spear without saying a word, but this time Ye Liancheng stopped him.

"Wait. ”

"It's going to run. ”

"Be careful to keep up with it. ”

"I see, we're looking for a rat's nest to eat. His subordinates admired Ye Liancheng's foresight, but he didn't think so, he just thought on a whim that the rats would take them to some interesting places.

More than a dozen people quietly followed the mouse, they sometimes stopped, sometimes bent and stretched, the rat of purgatory did not understand the preciousness of life, it did not realize that there were so many predators behind it, but leisurely groped on the ground, he quickly finished eating the food he had just found, but his mouth was stuffed with new animal remains, the mouth that struggled to gnaw reflected the chewiness of the food vividly, the members of the Ye Gang salivated, thinking that they would have a good time after finding the rat's nest.

Ye Liancheng was engrossed in tracking the mouse's whereabouts, and he didn't dare to look directly at the mouse's body. Its senses are not acute, but that doesn't mean it can't sense a gaze that it can't take off for a long time. The rat seemed to realize that it was being followed, and it jerked to a halt and stared behind it in fear.

It was impossible to imagine what this monotonous animal was thinking at this moment, but Ye Liancheng could see the fear in its gaze.

"Don't move, we're pushing too hard. Ye Liancheng said slowly to the others.

Da nodded silently and withdrew his gaze.

The mouse was silent for a moment, scratched his head in confusion, and set out on his way home again. This time it didn't stop or stop, but spread its limbs and ran deeper into the mangroves.

Ye Liancheng blinked.

After living in purgatory for so long, he still couldn't get used to the world where there was only red. He used to think that the color red was because everything here was red, and that it was the fire of the sky that covered the red, until one day he suddenly heard a rather philosophical statement: only prisoners can see the world red, purgatory is not red, but prisoners' eyes are red.

This statement made him feel empowered, but it also planted a seed of uneasiness in his heart. He couldn't tell why, but felt that this passage was full of ominous hints.

What does it mean that the eyes of a prisoner are red......

He thought of the red-eyed bird.

But at least until now, he had never heard of anyone comparing a prisoner to a red-eyed bird, two things that couldn't be beaten by eight poles.

"He's in!" exclaimed one man.

Ye Liancheng realized that he was distracted and hurriedly followed the footsteps of his companions.

The rat burrowed into a narrow gap.

He looked up and saw an old mountain of gravel standing in front of him.

Ye Liancheng rubbed a little paralyzing digging, muttering in his heart which way to go, he looked around, and the other partners anxiously stuffed their eyes into the gaps, wanting to see what was behind this mountain of rubble.

I don't know if I don't see it, I am shocked when I see it-

"There's a bird!" the man felt as if he had been punched in the face, and fell to the ground on his back, bleeding profusely from the rock behind his head.

"What's going on?"

Ye Liancheng was a little excited. They had been wandering the mountains to the west for an unknown amount of time, and they had not seen anyone or birds, except for the occasional occasional call of an invisible threatening bird that spread to their ears from a long distance, and now they finally saw a bird.

Even though birds are enemies, it's better than seeing nothing.

If you don't encounter anything again, sooner or later your spirit will be destroyed by this strange war.

"There's a bird......" The man raised his hand tremblingly, pointing to the gap.

"Alive, dead?"

Since the rats have burrowed into it, most of them are dead, and since they can be seen at a glance that they are birds, it means that they have not been dead for long. Ye Liancheng immediately made a series of speculations.

"It should be dead...... I only saw wings. ”

Really.

Satisfied that his intellect had not been eroded by purgatory, he patted the frightened man on the shoulder and told him to move out of his place.

"Be careful, the bird may be tricked to death. ”

"Good. He wasn't careless, he poked his eyes into the slit with a big sting.

Through the gaps, you can glimpse the inside of the whole gravel mountain, it is a hollow mountain, Ye Liancheng feels that it is more like a pointed lid than a mountain, the bottom is a depression, a bird is softly immersed in it, its body is crawling with dense mice, and it is happily gnawing away the skin and flesh little by little.

Ye Liancheng raised his head and stood up and announced the matter to everyone.

Everyone looked into the gap excitedly, wondering why the birds were defeated by the mice.

Ye Liancheng circled around the three-person tall gravel mountain.

There is a clear boundary between the gravel mountains, and the stones on the upper and lower stones are not the same color.

This is a man-made mountain.

He faced the crowd and told a startling fact:

"It's a trap for birds. The bird didn't die long, it fell into a trap not long ago. This gravel mountain is a spontaneous trap, and birds are not stupid enough to get caught in that trap. In other words, just a few moments ago, someone here had carefully planned to press it down the mountain. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the bird's corpse again.

I was so eaten that I couldn't see the shape of the bird.

He counted the time in his mind, and the bird had been crushed under the gravel mountain about an hour earlier, and soon the rats that smelled death came in drove and ate it alive. Moreover, the rats may have been specially attracted by someone.

Who the hell are these people, who are they mysteriously fighting the birds like spirits, silently......

Ye Liancheng rose in awe.
