"Izumi, what are we going to do?" Yu Ge scratched his head uneasily. "Do you really want to listen to her and stay here all night?"

Looking at the magma-filled, fire-lit stone cave, she gasped.

"Since we promised our predecessors, we still have to keep our promises." I looked around at the walls covered in bird-man language, and my curiosity was so strong for some reason. "Actually, I really want to study the structure here."

The characters on this stone wall always make me feel that they will be the origin of a civilization, especially the simple drawing symbols, which can explain the ideological process of a race.

"Look here!" I pointed to one of the interesting murals, which depicted a human being hitting a red bird's egg with a stick. "This should be the same as our speculation at the time, that humans ate the eggs of Bi Fang's predecessors."

Yu Ge then pointed to another mural behind him, on which a man with wings was depicted dancing under thunder and lightning. "And here, this should be the process of our people comprehending thunder and lightning."

We looked around the circular cave in a clockwise direction, and the murals gave us a detailed explanation of the history of the birdmen. They flew across the sea, occupied Bird Island, planted seeds on Bird Island, and sang on the shores of lakes...... What we guessed and what we didn't guess were vividly drawn.

"Yuge! What do you think this means? "A strange painting caught our attention, this one is located in a corner of the cave, and the size of the painting is much smaller than the other murals. There are no colors, no vivid depictions, it looks like a man holding a sharp stone and scribbling randomly on the wall, and a woman with wings and a man without wings hugging each other. "How can there be such a painting?"

"Huh!" Yu Ge's eyes widened as well. "Our people have always rejected humans, how can there be a picture of hugging in this?"

I took a deep breath. "I think there are still a lot of things you don't know about your people. I've always felt that things won't be that simple. ”

"I told you a long time ago that I don't know much about our people, and many things are just word of mouth." Yu Ge looked at the man on the painting and suddenly said to me with a shocked expression. "Izumi...... I found something incredible. ”

"What?"

Yu Ge pointed to the face and clothes of the man in the painting, and said to me dumbfounded. "Look at this person and you, the hairstyle is the same, the facial features are similar, and even the clothes are the same!"

When she said this, it was really similar when I looked closely, and even I thought it was very strange. "How so? How can I be in your people's frescoes? Maybe it's just a coincidence, after all, there are so many similar people in the world. ”

"And look at this woman, this dress doesn't look like my mother......"

"This ....."

I thought to myself that this was ridiculous, and Yuge really dared to think of it, but it didn't seem to make any sense at all, but this painting still proves that the birdman is inextricably linked to humans.

"Ahh Yu Ge and I were lamenting the painting when we felt a roar coming from within the walls, interrupting our conversation.

The sound was not loud, but the frequency of the vibration was very fast, with a somewhat hoarse texture, and although it was faint, the person who made the sound could be heard to be in deep pain.

"Yuge? Can you hear me? "I rubbed my ears, wondering if I was having auditory hallucinations, because anything could happen in such a weird cave.

Yu Ge nodded firmly. "I heard it too, a scream."

"Ahh Yes! The miserable wail hovered along the stone wall untouched, and it was terrifying to hear and heartbreaking.

Yu Ge grabbed my hand and said in fear. "But there's no one else in this cave."

"We ...... Let's look for it again, Bi Fang's predecessor said that there is an amazing secret in this cave, I think it should be this strange sound. "I'm calm, but I'm scared.

Yu Ge and I walked around the cave, trying to find out where the sound came from, Yu Ge's hearing was very good, she could hear everyone's words clearly for miles, and this trivial matter of listening to the sound was naturally not a problem.

She quickly pinpointed the exact direction from which the screams were coming from, on a stone wall with dense ice and grass.

"This is it." Yu Ge patted the wall, but there was no echo at all, only a thick muffled sound. "The walls are too thick. But I can feel that the wind speed here is a little abnormal. ”

As she spoke, she pressed her ear to the wall again, closing her eyes and listening carefully. Her eyes widened when she heard the patch of ice and grass.

"This is it! There are caves too! She exclaimed. Izumi, let's pull out the ice grass here. ”

Yu Ge and I tugged hard at the wisps of ice grass that grew luxuriantly, because it was in such a hot air, so holding these ice grasses was no different from the grass we usually saw, but I think if it was in a normal temperature environment, I was afraid that if I shook it, my hands would freeze and break.

Yu Ge took a deep breath, riveted enough strength, and uprooted the large piece of ice grass at once, bringing out a large thick block of ice, and the ice slag was shattered all over the ground.

"I didn't expect these grasses to be rooted in the ice, so it's no wonder they can survive in this hot environment."

After the ice grass was pulled out, a small hole about sixty centimeters in diameter appeared in the rock wall, and we looked down, and it was pitch black, and we couldn't see anything clearly, but the scream suddenly became much clearer and more piercing, and we could hear that the sound came from the other side of the hole.

"Ahh

The voice was like a vine that bound us deeply, and we were powerless to break free.

I leaned down and went into the hole, but was pulled by Yu Ge. "Are you really going in?"

I nodded, smiling sheepishly. "I couldn't control myself when I encountered this strange thing, so I wanted to find out."

Yu Ge sighed helplessly. "I really can't help you, you don't have any Taoism, it's better for me to be in front, you must follow me closely."

After saying that, Yu Ge himself took the lead in getting into the small hole.

The little hole was so damp that we crawled forward, covered in muddy water. This dark passage is really long and narrow, and the air is still very hot at first, but as you move forward, a cold air flow will come to you, mixed with a fishy smell of the sea.

"Ahh But we could hear the cry getting closer and closer to us.

It took us half an hour to keep this motion and we came to the end of the tunnel, so we couldn't wait to get out.

I thought it would be a secret room with treasures, but it turned out to be a big disappointment, it turned out to be another cave, the black rumbling stretched out without seeing the five fingers, and the water in the cave ** overflowed our knees, and I am afraid that the space that does not see the light of day has already been flooded with insects and rats.

"Oh my God!" Yu Ge suddenly screamed.

Her eyesight recovered much faster than I did, and she could see things much earlier than I could in the dark.

"Izumi...... This is...... It's a prison. ”

My eyesight gradually regained and I was able to see the cave clearly, and when I looked around closely, I couldn't help but marvel. "Oh my God!"

The scene in front of me was probably one of the most terrifying environments I had ever seen in my life, with tens of thousands of iron locks crisscrossing this hole**, and the chains imprisoned were actually a few scrawny people. I don't know how long they have been imprisoned here, their whole body is bound by chains, the lower half of their bodies have rotted out of shape due to long-term soaking, moss and fungi have grown all over their bodies, their eyes are closed, their limbs are motionless, only their lips tremble slightly a few times to prove that they are still alive.

"Someone's coming!" Suddenly, one of them raised his head and shouted.

The others also raised their heads and cried loudly. "Finally...... Someone's coming, ...... Help us. They tried to speak clearly, but their bodies were so weak that they needed to listen carefully to get a rough idea.

Yu Ge covered her mouth, unable to bear to see this disgusting scene.

"Yuge! They ......, "I feel like my whole Adam's apple is cramping." "They're fishmen!"

I think it's good, though they have loose hair and green moss on their faces, but the overly fair skin is too noticeable, and the color is almost exactly the same as that of the wine boys.

"I ...... We are...... Help us ......."

"Why are you being locked up here?" I asked.

"I ...... We're being held here by the bird-man, the fairy girl.....," one of the fish-men moaned quietly.

"You talk nonsense!" Yu Ge suddenly turned his head and roared. "How could a mother do such a thing?"

It turns out that Yuge's mother, who is the current leader of the birdmen, is called Qingyuan, and this is the first time I have heard of it.

I hugged her gently. "Yuge, don't panic, listen to them first."

"Young man..... Save us, and get out of here...... A place of horror. ”

"We can't talk anymore...... We've been eating bugs for decades...... The body is very weak, and if we talk again, we will die faster. ”

"Young man, you are human, if you can't save us, you can run by yourself, you must leave this island!"

The words of these fish-men were like scriptures, and my scalp tingled, and all previous assumptions were now overturned.

Yu Ge once told me that the fishman and the birdman have a grudge because the fishman killed their ancestor Bi Fang, but Bi Fang's predecessor is obviously alive.

Yesterday, when there was a fierce battle on the coast, Ah Wan said that as long as he handed over their men, he would withdraw his troops. I began to think that he was just looking for an excuse for war, but when I saw him today, I guess the people he was talking about were these fish-men who had been imprisoned for decades.

"Damn birdman! It's not going to end well. Although they were weak, they didn't forget to curse, and gave Yu Ge a vicious look.

"Ahh

The faint moan rang out again.
