Anyone who saw the place where Chen Jian appeared would be stunned. He turned his back to the bird country and faced the humans, as if he belonged to the other side at all, but neither the birds nor the people were in the mood to pay attention to a drop of water in the torrent in the chaotic battlefield, besides, few people knew him behind the yellow veil.

"Don't look up!" Chen Jian told the two people around him.

Messed up. He complained bitterly, and the picture of talking to Gu Diao about Qiqi came to mind.

"Emperor Shaohao's child is called Qiqi?"

"That's right. "The Gu Eagle betrayed the Bird Country, but he seems to be at ease, for him, survival is more important than face. As for how the Gu Eagle came into contact with Chen Jian and the others, this was another story from earlier, and he couldn't remember it clearly.

"You don't know the power of Emperor Shaohao, what about Qi Qi, what can he do?"

During the time he was talking with the Gu Eagle, Chen Jian could no longer treat birds as animals, they were more like humans who had lived for a long time, with their own culture, history, art, and military ...... Like a person who lives in another posture in purgatory, therefore, he subconsciously changes "it" to "him" and "she", but these things cannot be expressed in words.

"Qiqi is a hot-tempered kid. The Gu Eagle snorted and smirked.

He always made this sound from time to time, and Chen Jian understood that sometimes his wicked smile did not have a deep meaning. He's scheming, but he's also quite straightforward and simple—a very paradoxical description, and I can't think of a better one. In short, the Gu Eagle was familiar with the fox and the fake tiger, but he was not a threat, he insisted that he had discovered the root cause of the defeat of the Bird Country, so he defected to the humans, but never revealed the real reason to Chen Jian. Over time, Chen Jian no longer bothered to extract the "secret of the root" from his mouth, it was enough for Gu Diao to be willing to cooperate with them.

"What's so different about him, what should I pay attention to?"

Gu Diao said: "He is very smart, but he is also arrogant, because what flows in his body is the blood of Emperor Shaohao and the Phoenix. ”

"The phoenix has feathers that can't be pierced by ordinary weapons, right?" Although the phoenix had long since died, Chen Jian still inquired about the situation of each white-pupiled bird in detail.

Of course, he also knows that there is also a bird that can transform into a human form - the love magpie.

"That's right, and the phoenix is very beautiful. ”

"Will Poor Strange inherit her traits?"

"You say Qi Qi is invulnerable?" the Gu Eagle looked seriously thinking, "I've never seen him injured. ”

“...... Well. Chen Jian had a vague idea of Qiqi in his heart, he was like a proud nobleman in the Victorian period, with high respect and recklessness for his own bloodline, and at the same time he was likely to have a hard body that was difficult to handle. If the Yellow Emperor can kill the phoenix, it shouldn't be difficult to kill Qiqi, but the identity of Emperor Shaohao's heir is still lingering.

In the face of Emperor Shaohao, Chen Jian and Gu Diao were both black-eyed, and they didn't know much about him, would Qi Qi have other abilities? This has to be traced back to Emperor Shaohao, but what can Emperor Shaohao do?

"You've never seen Emperor Shaohao do it himself?"

"I haven't even seen Emperor Shaohao's face. Gu Diao said happily.

"What's going on?"

"He always sat behind the plantain leaves and hid himself. ”

"Always...... How many years have you known each other? thousands?"

"It didn't take long for me to get acquainted with him before the Great War began, about six hundred years ago. ”

"For six hundred years, you have never seen him in person. ”

"That's right. ”

"Don't you wonder who rules yourself?" =

"What is there to be curious about?" Gu Diao asked rhetorically, "We are doing well, Emperor Shaohao is very smart, this is enough." ”

"In that case, you still believe that the Bird Nation has been defeated by us. ”

"It's not just crushing," Gu Diao twitched his cheeks, "but the destruction of the country and the ...... of the race"

"I don't want it to get to that point if I could. ”

"I can't imagine that the human ruler has such a naïve side. Stopping at Chen Jian's words, Gu Diao was overjoyed, "What we want to fight for is not land, but something more rooted." ”

"Here we go again. 'Roots', do you understand what that word means?" Chen Jian smiled back.

Gu Diao blinked: "It's you who don't understand," he said, "You think I'm ignorant, simple, but despicable and shameless." ”

"I never said that. ”

"I can see it. ”

"You're wrong. Chen Jian didn't move.

The Gu Eagle squeaked coldly a few times, as if mocking Chen Jian's shallow gaze: "You don't understand at all, what is the root of purgatory......"

"I know better than you do. Chen Jian pointed to the north.

"Also," Gu Diao's expression made Chen Jian suspicious, "I really don't know that Purgatory is a ball. ”

"And what else do you want to say?"

"I'm talking about something more rooted......"

Again, the root cause......

Why did he deflect things to the "root" every time he asked Gu Diao for information? What does the root point mean? Gu Diao always put these two words on his lips. The root of failure, the root of antagonism, the root of purgatory......

A madman's exclamation shattered the picture in his mind, like a shattered mirror, and the world suddenly fell apart.

"What are you doing?!" the madman yelled ahead.

Chen Jianding saw that it was Qiong Ming.

She was holding a knife and was stabbing herself.

What is this doing? The first thought that flashed through Chen Jian's mind was this. He didn't want to dodge, but wondered, what made Qiong Ming, the bird disguised as a human, have the courage to do this?

Qiong Ming's speed exceeded his expectations, and in the blink of an eye, the short dagger in her hand had already enlarged between her eyes, obscuring everything in front of her like a blinding leaf.

"What are you doing?!" it was Bai Yao who spoke, she saw that Chen Jian was motionless, and suddenly pushed him away.

Qiong Ming simply pounced.

...... What's going on?Is Qiong Ming going to assassinate me?

Chen Jian was a little lacking in reality. Since he learned about the love magpie from Gu Diao, he vaguely felt that Qiong Ming's identity was not simple, and Bai Yao also questioned her after escaping from the waterfall snake, whether it was because she couldn't completely become a human, so she pretended to be Yumin to hide people's eyes. Later, for some reason, Bai Yao didn't mention it again, but Chen Jian kept it in mind.

It turns out that all these years of getting along are all illusions, and the birds are really ruthless.

Chen Jian felt that his right arm was swollen, and the arm that had been cut by the knife was oozing blood.

"Qiong Ming, you are crazy!" The madman who didn't know the situation grabbed the little girl's arm, but in the next moment, the feather behind the arm cut off the madman's five fingers.

"Ahh

The madman stared at the palm of his bone-revealing hand in confusion: "Are you ...... Bird. ”

"Rose, suffer death!

The latter sentence sounded so strange, only Bai Yao understood that it was said to himself.

Qiong Ming's movements were fast, so fast that humans couldn't reach them. If in the human world, Chen Jian, who can control Zeqi, can easily capture her whereabouts, but not in purgatory, purgatory is the home of monsters. Her every move was as neat as a sword, and there was a murderous aura of swords and sword shadows around her.

"It's really unexpected...... Chen Jian muttered, "it turns out that you are so good." ”

Yumin was stunned for a moment. Chen Jian's response was so light and breezy that she was a little scared.

Chen Jian turned around slowly, the knife grazed his shoulder, and he stretched out his leg at the same time and stumbled, and Yumin stumbled and fell to the ground. Everything is so simple and neat, like adults teasing children.

Qiong Ming has the advantage in strength and speed, but that doesn't mean she can beat her experienced self in a hurry. Chen Jian thought silently, she might have the illusion because of her young face, thinking that he was a powerless teenager, it was really a low-level mistake, she wanted to know that the person she wanted to kill was the supreme commander who ruled tens of millions of human beings.

"What the hell are you thinking?" Chen Jian looked indifferently at Yumin, who fell to the ground, "Kill me and end this war?"

"Capture the thief...... Capture the king first. Yumin gritted her teeth and got up from the ground.

Looking at her embarrassed appearance, the bitterness in Chen Jian's heart suddenly melted.

"We are in the South China Sea," he whispered, as if to persuade her to be restrained, "you saved me, and now you are killing me, why go on with this quarrel?"

"Isn't that enough reason for you to kill all my people!" Yu Min said, pounced on Chen Jian again.

This time, she was kicked away by Bai Yao.

Blood spurted from her mouth, staining her white feathers black.

This senseless assassination turned into an absurd drama in Chen Jian's eyes, and the dry corners of his eyes were stained with water droplets at some point.

The Gu Eagle's treacherous smile suddenly appeared in his mind.

The guy looked at himself, and two words squeezed out of the corners of his mouth-

Root.
