"Cut the rope that locks your throat and it will be able to speak. Bai Yao said.

"Will it let it escape?" The room was dim, Chen Jian couldn't see clearly how the rope tied the giant bird, he was worried that if he pulled a hair, he would move his whole body, and when the time came, he would just let the bird go, and they might even end up in danger.

Bai Yao shook his head: "I have seen the layout of the rope just now, and I am sure." ”

"Travelers have to be like this!" the madman seemed to be praising himself, and said to Chen Jian very proudly, "You must have extraordinary courage!"

Chen Jian believed in Bai Yao, she had always given people a rather reliable impression: "Okay, then I'm sorry for you." ”

"Madman," Bai Yao called out to the madman, "you squat down and let me step on my shoulder, or I won't be able to reach it." ”

"No problem!" the madman immediately crouched down.

Bai Yao's small feet stepped on the maniac's shoulders steadily, and she patted the maniac's head: "Get up, hold my feet steady, don't shake around." ”

"Understood!" the madman immediately raised his hands and held Bai Yao's ankles tightly.

Chen Jian stared at the ceiling, in case of any unexpected situation, he could react immediately, as for what to do, he had to rely on himself to improvise.

The room was not high, and Bai Yao and the madman stood on tiptoe so that she could reach the throat of the giant bird, whose heavy breath hit her face, and her hair was blown and curled. Bai Yao took out the knife that he had prepared a long time ago, carefully inserted the side of the knife into the gap between the rope and the giant bird's body, and then began to sharpen the rope.

"Okay?" cried the madman, "I can't hold on." ”

"Wait!" Chen Jian glared at him.

Bai Yaozheng was engrossed in cutting the rope, not bothering to pay attention to the madman.

Chen Jian saw the situation above his head clearly through the glimmer of light - the rope formed an impermeable net, Bai Yao was like defusing a time bomb, once it was dismantled, the giant bird could break free in an instant.

This is by no means what they want to see.

"Whew...... Huh...... "The giant bird is gradually able to make some sounds.

"How's it going......

The madman's toes began to go numb, and his legs couldn't help but tremble, and the trembling frequency was even clear to Chen Jian, who was standing on the side.

If he only carried the light Bai Yao on his back, the madman would never have fallen to such a messy state, but Bai Yao kept exerting force on his head, and the madman's shoulders were subjected to the strength of the left and right, and he had to expend a lot of physical strength to maintain his balance, and he was still receiving the punishment of purgatory, and the irresistible penance forced him to burst into tears and wanted to end himself quickly.

For a moment, his mind went blank, and he stood in place by instinct.

The breath exhaled by the giant bird disrupted his breathing, and the madman's face swelled purple: "Okay, it's not ......"

Chen Jian saw the strangeness of the madman, and hurriedly shouted to Bai Yao: "He is being penitent, hurry up!"

Bai Yao didn't speak.

I saw that her body was crooked, and she fell off the madman, and the madman also fell to the ground.

"Bai Yao?!madman!" Chen Jian looked at her with pain on her face, and immediately reacted - they were all under purgatory!

"Kill me...... Rose, kill me......" Bai Yao stretched out his arm, and the green tendons squeezed through the thin white skin.

She wanted to pick up the knife that had fallen to the side and cut it off herself, but it was too late now, and when the confessional sentence reached a certain stage, her body would be uncontrollable and she could not commit suicide.

"Good. Chen Jian had a nameless rage, he grabbed the knife and pierced Bai Yao and the madman's heart.

Everything was quiet.

The Che Split had already divided Chen Jian's body into five pieces, he lost his sense of pain, and lay on the ground indifferently, staring at the giant bird on the ceiling, its throat hissed, and a puddle of saliva flowed out of the edge of its sharp beak, dripping on the ground, splashing on Chen Jian's calf.

Chen Jian is convinced: it is a vulture.

Vultures love to eat corpses, and the two fresh corpses in front of them should make it hungry and thirsty.

"Hey," Chen Jian shook his hand in front of it, "Can you speak?"

"Huh-" the vulture gasped, smashing its mouth, not hiding its intention to eat them, and said in a voice that didn't rise or fall, "let me out." ”

It seems that Bai Yao successfully cut the rope at the last moment, and because the task was completed, he relaxed and fell down.

Chen Jian listened to the birds for the first time.

The bird's voice is similar to that of a human, and if he doesn't see it, he will mistake it for a real person.

Chen Jian was quite dissatisfied with its attitude, and the vulture clearly asked for him, but his tone was condescending. He looked at it coldly and said, "Leave the thunder drum behind." ”

"No, I can't. The vulture replied.

"Did Emperor Shaohao ask you to steal the thunder drum?"

The vulture thought for a moment, and seemed to feel that it could not hide its intentions, so it said frankly, "Yes." ”

"What are you going to do?" Chen Jian only needed to get an affirmative answer.

The vulture shook its head, some tiny feathers fell from a high place, and replied, "Emperor Shaohao asked me to steal the thunder drum." ”

"Why did Emperor Shaohao do this?" Chen Jian was very patient.

"Let me out. The vulture spoke tirelessly, with only a commanding tone in his tone.

"If you don't answer me, I won't let you go. ”

The vulture writhed its wings and tried to break free of the rope, and it tossed for a moment, leaving nothing to gain except for a few bloody streaks from the rope.

Chen Jian smiled: "You can't escape, it's better to give up naïve ideas as soon as possible." ”

"Emperor Shaohao wants to recapture the territory. The vulture pragmatically gave up, "It's going to launch an attack on the Southerners." ”

Hearing the term "human race" in purgatory was quite dramatic, if it weren't for the constant labor pains on his body, Chen Jian would have thought that he had crossed into a game.

"So it sent you to steal artifacts to facilitate the attack?"

"Yes. The vulture repeated impatiently, "Let me out." ”

"What are you anxious about," Chen Jian dragged the madman's hand over as a pillow and lay on the ground leisurely, "Could it be that Emperor Shaohao asked you to go back immediately?"

The vulture shook his head.

For some reason, Chen Jian felt pity. What kind of mentality did this bird hold to break its oath and go to the Yellow Emperor Mountain alone to steal the artifact, how long had it been trapped here? Its eyes were bloodshot, its dry throat outlined the meridians prominently, and its blood-colored wings were scratched by ropes everywhere, as if the pair of wings that had once flapped high could no longer fly with it.

Suddenly, Chen Jian's head emptied, and the back of his head slammed heavily on the ground.

"Shhh

"Yo Ross! just talk to it?, what did the stinky bird say?" the madman had just woken up and asked how it was going, and Chen Jian secretly decided that he must not use his hands as pillows next time.

He relayed the conversation just now to the madman, and Bai Yao also came to her senses at about the same time, she was very dissatisfied that Chen Jian poked a hole in the chest of her clothes, and reminded her that next time she would just cut her throat.

"Emperor Shaohao is really going to attack us. The madman's face showed sorrow, which was completely out of line with his style, "Let's take the thunder drum away first, it may not be safe to put it in the Yellow Emperor Mountain." ”

"I can't imagine that you are still a person who worries about the country and the people. Bai Yao quipped.

The madman retorted: "If the country of birds comes, everyone will be unlucky!"

Bai Yao shrugged noncommittally: "Crazy, ask me to go up again and take down the thunder drum first." ”

"It may be a little troublesome...... Chen Jian pointed to the place where the thunder drum is, "The thunder drum is full of ropes, can you untie it?"

Bai Yao snorted.

When I just came back to life, my head was messing around, and I forgot about it!

She paced back and forth in the house, observing the direction of the rope, and then noticed something terrible. She looked at the vulture in disbelief, and then said to the other two, "This bird is really shrewd. ”

"What do you mean?" the madman mocked the vulture dismissively, "a bird that can be locked in a rope is also called shrewd?"

Bai Yao met the vulture's gaze.

Apricot yellow pupils showed a trembling smile, that is the unfathomable wisdom of living in extreme purgatory.

"It's shrewd," she said, "and it's shrewd...... The moment it is caught by the rope, it puts the thunder drum behind its wings, and if we want to take the thunder drum, we have to untie the rope. ”

Chen Jian's compassion for the vultures suddenly vanished.

The Strange Bird had long anticipated such a scenario, and in the passive situation of falling into the trap, it constructed a perfect game - either leave the Thunder Drum and it here, or untie the ropes and let it regain its freedom.

Even if Chen Jian had never seen a vulture flying, it was easy to guess that the vulture that could pass through the Central Mountain and sneak into the Yellow Emperor Mountain alone was by no means idle, and it would definitely be able to escape in an instant.

The madman scratched his dirty hair: "That's troublesome...... What are we going to do? Let's leave it here, it can't leave anyway. ”

"You can't think like that," Chen Jian said calmly, "Emperor Shaohao can let one vulture come, and there must be a second." When he said this, he looked at Bai Yao, and she gave a look of approval, "Only by protecting all the artifacts can we prevent future troubles." ”

"Rose, you're so thoughtful!" the madman patted him on the shoulder.

Chen Jian felt that this was familiar, as if it was used by a madman to boast before, and he smiled bitterly: "We have to find a way to take the thunder drum away, as well as the other artifacts on the Yellow Emperor Mountain, we have to find someone to help." Bai Yao, what do you think?"

Bai Yao glanced at Chen Jian, then looked up at the vulture, and finally fell on the madman: "Rose, you come with me." ”

The madman said, "What about me?"

"You stay here, find all the other artifacts, and put them in this room waiting for us to come back. ”

"Huh?" the madman was dumbfounded.

"Let's go. Bai Yao beckoned to Chen Jian and walked out of the house.
