We crept out of the 'birdcage'. I found that a few guards outside the door were already snoring, and I think it was because the green mandarin duck was too confident in the effect of those strange flowers and trees on the island, thinking that the rope must be able to trap us, so except for those guards, there was no one else to hold on.

The settlements lined with buildings are surprisingly quiet.

"Your mother is really careless." Ah Wan said to Yu Ge. "It's really only these few who are sent to watch us."

"Maybe she's too confident and thinks you've been injured in the big battle and won't have any chance to resist."

"If I sneak into her bedroom at this time, I can take her down in one fell swoop." Ah Wan said calmly. "Then I forced her to release my men. Of course, now I don't have to. ”

"Senior Awan, we have injured so many of your men, is it really worth it for you to exchange the fiasco of an army for the freedom of a dozen people?" Yu Ge said hesitantly.

Ah Wan didn't hesitate at all in his eyes. "Many of those dozen people have positions in the Dragon Palace, and they have all followed me for thousands of years, I have no reason not to save them, but it is indeed unforeseen that you can control such an ancient spell, and I am not wronged to be defeated. At this point, I had no choice. ”

The three of us walked along the path of the woods and slowly walked towards the lake. There were no people along the way, except for a few crisp birdsong that rang out from time to time.

The lake is still sparkling and steamy. The trees on both sides were rustled by the wind.

"Revisiting the old place..... I didn't expect it to be as beautiful as it once was. ”

Walking to the rockery, we pointed out the hidden hole to him, and Ah Wan suddenly realized.

"At that time, I thought that the airflow in this place was a little abnormal, but because of the proximity to the lake, the climate itself is changeable, and I didn't care about it, but I didn't expect that there was really a hidden mystery." Ah Wan stroked the outline of the cave and couldn't help but secretly marvel. "This camouflage technique is really not inferior to our fish-people at all."

Approaching the cave, the heat was still raging in the corridor, like a hurricane, and after a while, sweat soaked through his clothes.

Ah Wan was even more like she was half soaked, and the sweat couldn't stop flowing down her sleeves. "We fish-people all lived in the water before the monastic, and it was hard to endure this kind of heat."

At this moment, the light of the cave ** seems to be even brighter than yesterday, illuminating the stone walls of the road in a fiery red, Ah Wan couldn't wait to walk in front, and soon came to the end.

When this world of flames was in full view, Ah Wan was stunned in place.

"Yes...... This was it that night. Ah Wan muttered to herself. I'll never forget it. ”

The slowly flowing lava, the stone walls covered with red ravines, the mottled murals on the walls, and the ice grass that spreads and grows everywhere. This painting evokes Ah Wan's infinite reverie.

"Senior, but this is not like the flames you said, although it is worse, but it is not a hell on earth." Yu Ge said hesitantly.

"I'm sure I met Bi Fang here that night, and she was standing in the middle of the cavern." Ah Wan said firmly. "But the flames of that night were much more bursting than they were today, and I don't know why?"

Ah Wan walked around the stone wall of the cave and carefully looked at all the murals around it. "It happened so suddenly that day, I didn't even pay attention to these mysterious paintings on the wall."

He pointed to the strange picture of birdmen and humans embracing each other, and couldn't help but sneer. "Isn't this the Mandarin Mandarin and that human? I definitely think it's good, I guess it's Bi Fang's masterpiece, and it seems that I'm not the only one who noticed that they love each other. ”

"But these murals are all about the history of the birdmen, what can this picture of hugging each other say?" I asked, puzzled.

"It's a blend of two races, and this kind of thing is enough to be written into history." Ah Wan gently stroked the notch on the wall with her hand. "You see, this painting is still a half-finished product, but it has been carved with some simple outlines, and it still has time to be colored."

"Before this painting was completed, Bi Fang's predecessor encountered an accident, I think it should be like this."

Ah Wan acquiesced to my statement. "Bi Fang is really an interesting deity, she is willing to patiently record the growth process of her children, so I have never believed in the statement that Bi Fang is a symbol of calamity recorded in many ancient books."

"Brother Ah Wan, if you are ready, we are ready to take you to a place."

"Going somewhere? Isn't this the place where you want to bring me? ”

"It's here, but there's no cave." Saying that, Yu Ge and I took Ah Wan to the small hole leading to the prison, and to our surprise, just one night, the entrance of the cave was overgrown with ice grass again.

We uprooted the ice grass as we did yesterday, and the ice crystals shattered all over the ground, and a smell of the sea leaked out of the small hole.

"This! This is the taste of my people. Ah Wan exclaimed, and then got into it without thinking.

Yu Ge and I hurriedly followed, for fear that Ah Wan would not be able to control himself when he saw that tragic situation.

The trail was as gloomy and gloomy as usual, and the screams were still lingering inside, and as we gradually went deeper, Ah Wan became more and more panicked and worried.

"Are they ...... in such a place?"

At this time, Yu Ge and I didn't dare to say anything more, so we could only look at Ah Wan quietly, hoping that he would be calm.

The intertwined chains finally appeared in front of us, and the dozen or so fish-men imprisoned in the water were now dying, and I couldn't help but close my eyes, not daring to look at all of them directly.

"You ......," Ah Wan's voice was so hoarse that it tingled just by listening to it.

"Since you don't save us, don't bother us anymore, let us wait for death!" The half-dead fishmen slowly opened their eyes and looked at us.

But when they saw Ah Wan, they began to writhe their bodies violently, the moss on their bodies fell off, and the iron chains made a loud noise.

"Boss Awan! Ah Wan Chief! They shouted hoarsely.

"Boss Awan! We...... Knowing that you will definitely come to our rescue, we have waited...... I don't know how long. ”

"Damn birdman!"

Seeing such a tragic situation, Ah Wan's whole body trembled, and her eyes moistened. "It's just too deceitful!"

He jerked forward and pulled the chains off one by one, the fish-men had been in the same position for decades, their bodies had long been numb and weak, and as soon as they lost the restraints of these chains, they couldn't even stand on their feet, and collapsed into the water one by one, their breath was weak.

"We're finally free." The fishmen wept bitterly. "Boss, you must avenge us!"

It was only when they slowly regained their senses that they noticed the presence of me and Yuge. "Boss, kill this little birdman to relieve your anger!"

Saying that, one of the thin fishmen pounced towards Yu Ge, but their bodies had already shrunk to the point that they couldn't figure it out, so they didn't have any strength, and they fell into the water again before they could get to Yu Ge.

"I'll definitely give you an explanation, but this matter has nothing to do with this little girl, and you must not hurt her." Ah Wan shouted.

"Boss...... Do you know how we've survived all these years? A fish-man cried. We survived by eating flies and insects. ”

Ah Wan clenched her fists, but then calmed down again.

"Don't complain yet, I'll get you out first." As he spoke, Ah Wan leaned down and picked up a weak fishman and got into the hole.

Yu Ge and I also hurriedly picked up the two fish men and helped them move forward slowly.

With a lot of effort, we finally carried these dozen mermaids to the cave where Bi Fang cultivated one after another. This flaming cavern was really unusual, and although we felt that the heat was unbearable, these fish-people quickly recovered their bodies at this temperature, and they were able to stand up in a short time.

"Little brother, you said that Bi Fang is on this island, so where is she now, we have to find her quickly, so that I can explain to my subordinates." Ah Wan said anxiously. "I'm going to take all the fishmen, including those you captured."

"Senior Bi Fang flew away after seeing us, she just asked us to bring you here, and didn't say when she would appear."

While we were talking, we suddenly heard a commotion and a noisy voice.

After a while, the green mandarin duck rushed in with two other elders and a large group of birdmen with torches.

"It's not that easy to run." Her clear voice was particularly harsh in the cavern.

This posture really caught us off guard, and when we saw that there was no one to take care of it, we should have thought that this would be an ambush set up by the green ducks.

Ah Wan glanced at me and Yu Ge in disappointment, and let out a long sigh. "It's a shame that I trust you so much, but I didn't expect you to lie to me."

"It's not like that!" Yu Ge shouted, and then immediately blocked in front of Ah Wan. "Mother, you can't hurt him, he's innocent!"
