The madman felt that he had a long nightmare, and the most heart-wrenching thing was that those things could be so real—

He touched Huang Aimian's corpse, a cold corpse that could not even be infected by the heat of purgatory, the blood had coagulated very early, and when he and Rose were laughing and guessing which side of Huang Aimian's body would move, the blood quietly stopped flowing, sending the last trace of life force out of the body, and then, only the wind could make them shake slightly. That eternally calm eye lost his soul in vain, and his empty gaze could not see joy or remorse, did he realize before he died that his life would end?

Where the hell did he hide? The madman wants to know the answer.

Xiao Budian and the white girl actually told themselves the answer, he just didn't want to believe it-

Why did Huang Aimian die? He died, what should he do?!

The madman wakes up in a nightmare, and when he opens his eyes, he finds that Little Dot—he is no longer Little Dot—is carrying his back.

"Where's Huang Aimian?" he asked in a low voice.

"Dead. Chen Jian said.

"I don't believe it. ”

Chen Jian said to himself: "Let's talk about the conclusion first, Huang Aimian's death is a coincidence, his body happened to be split in half, so he died, this kind of thing can only rely on luck, maybe you can't succeed in thousands or tens of thousands of attempts, you not only have to take care of the weight of your body, but also have to consider blood, various factors-"

"Put me down, I'm going to continue. ”

"Crazy," Chen Jian said coldly, "The Bird Army is already very close to us, if you want to try, try again when you get to a safe place." ”

"What's a safe place?" the madman asked.

"At least not here. Chen Jian let go of his hands and let the madman come down.

Only then did the madman discover that Bai Yao was dragging Huang Aimian's corpse.

"What are you dragging here for?"

Bai Yao stuffed the rope into the madman's hand and said, "Observe for a few days to see if there is any sign of resurrection, maybe one day, the meat puree will suddenly come out." ”

The madman took the thick rope. Huang Aimian's body was very light, there was no blood, and some organs fell on the way, and he was about to become an empty shell.

"Rose. ”

"What?"

"I said something nasty before, and that's me...... It's so desperate. I'm crazy. ”

Chen Jian glanced at him and said with a smile: "I don't care." ”

"The White Maiden is right, without you, I would have died under the bird's beak. The madman continued to examine his mistakes, "Do you know what I was thinking? Huang Aimian received a commutation from the judge like you, and I am afraid that even you will die." Why am I not dead, but you and him can die happily?Besides, how long have you been in purgatory?I am still a war hero, and you are only the female emperor of the present...... A lackey. I was so jealous that my brain was almost burning with rage. ”

Bai Yao frowned: "Crazy, why are you still talking like this?"

Chen Jian waved his hand and said, "It's okay, this is called Bing Shi's suspicion." ”

"Little one, if you can escape from purgatory, you must have a great future!" the madman was extremely moved, he twitched his nose and patted Chen Jian's shoulder hard, "To be honest, I didn't believe that you were wronged before, but now I do understand." Rose, you're a man. ”

Chen Jian was stunned: "You actually don't believe it?"

"In our dynasty, the imposition of purgatory required a lot of investigation, unlike you, which became a lynching of the courtiers and nobles. ”

“...... Alright, keep going. Chen Jian was a little distracted, "Without Huang Aimian, an intelligence officer, we have to find a way to find the tribe by ourselves, the former fire-weary country is on that mountain," he pointed to the distance, and the location was told to him by Bai Yao, "Now it is deserted." ”

"What happened? The last time I came to the South, I met a lot of Aboriginal people on the road, but now they're gone. ”

The madman's words were agreed by Bai Yao, she recalled the last time she came to the south with her master, the master was popular with many tribes because he helped the aborigines solve many difficult sea monsters, they ate and drank here, sang and danced very merrily, but now this rich land is only a barren, there are no aborigines in the mountains and forests, where have they gone?

"Who knows. Chen Jian looked back at the north - had he developed this habit during this time, and would observe the whereabouts of the birds in the north every once in a while.

The birds' expansion seemed to have slowed down, their figures were no longer enlarged, and the shrill or melodious birdsong had long since disappeared into the vast sky, could it be ......that their march was blocked?

Whether it's humans or bird countries, the performance of each side is quite confusing. The war was shrouded in clouds, and it was impossible to even get a glimpse of the intentions of both sides. Chen Jian could only acquiesce to Ye Liancheng's establishment of a prisoner's stronghold in the northwest, while the aborigines continued to flee south.

But Bai Yao said, further south is the South China Sea, where there are many extremely ferocious sea monsters, retreating to the South China Sea is undoubtedly the enemy on the back, and it is impossible for the aborigines who have lived in purgatory for a hundred years not to understand this truth.

So where the hell did they go?

Chen Jian thought so in his heart, and the madman on the side also happened to be asking this question.

"Where the hell have they gone?" said the madman to himself, "if I could use witchcraft to discern their whereabouts." It's a pity, alas, ......" He shook his head and pretended to be a hero in the twilight of his life.

Chen Jian couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he saw that his desire to perform was rekindled.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Bai Yao, "We don't have to rush to move on. ”

"Why?"

"The bird country has slowed down the pace of advancement, and it is now here to observe for a while. ”

Bai Yao thought about it and accepted Chen Jian's opinion. Anyway, there are still hundreds of miles away from the bird army, and even if they suddenly attack, they can retreat south in time.

Chen Jian wanted to take a break and sort out what had happened recently.

He must figure out his purpose - he is not trying to defeat the Bird Country, but to find a way to escape from purgatory. At present, there are two ways, one is to solve the mystery of Master Bai Yao's disappearance and determine whether he successfully escaped or was captured and eaten by a monster somewhere, and the other is to go to the "Black Abyss" in the north and go to the bottom of purgatory. The latter is a more pragmatic approach.

Bai Yao has tirelessly repeated the statement to the madman many times, she has no clue how and where the master disappeared, and finding out the truth is like building a castle in the sky, which is unrealistic.

But entering the Black Abyss is also full of various problems, the biggest obstacle is the Bird Country, they occupy the north, Chen Jian has no way to bypass their defense line, and the Fengfeng clan that can dig the pit and Huang Aimian who blow up the pit are both dead, and there are no tools...... Speaking of blowing up the crater, in fact, Chen Jian still has a little hope.

After spending some time with Huang Aimian, Chen Jian discovered that he was not actually proficient in chemistry, but simply knew how to make explosives. The raw materials had to be provided by a bird named "Sui Ou", and some ground stones were needed - Chen Jian stole a few while he was resting and kept them in his pocket, which came in handy right now.

He pulled out a few unnamed stones that exuded coolness.

It's just the dung and how to make it...... It shouldn't be complicated, Huang Aimian didn't carry any tools on his body, he made it with his bare hands, and bird droppings and this kind of stone should have a strange reaction when mixed together.

Chen Jian pondered the use of these stones, and those faint brilliance stimulated Bai Yao's memory.

"This is ......," Bai Yao sat down beside Chen Jian, "I seem to have seen this kind of stone somewhere." ”

The madman mustered himself and asked them in a high-pitched voice, "What is it?"

Chen Jian looked at Bai Yao: "You have indeed seen it." ”

There is nothing to hide now, and he told the truth that Huang Aimian had blown her up.

Bai Yao was shocked for a moment after hearing this, but quickly regained his composure, and just said with a smile: "No wonder that hole is full of blood." The madman laughed when he heard this, and Chen Jian barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

He asked, "Do you remember how Huang Aimian made the bomb?"

"I want to think about it......" Bai Yao closed his eyes, and a dark cave appeared in front of him, "Hearing you say that, I seem to have the impression that Huang Aimian was standing on the right side - or on the left? Forget it, it doesn't matter, he muttered something to himself, and then there was the sound of birds......"

"It's Ou Sui, he told me. ”

"Ou Sui, a bird I haven't heard of. ”

"You haven't heard much!" said the madman, angrily.

"You know?"

"I don't know. ”

Bai Yao cut it and continued: "Ou Sui brought him bird droppings," she didn't know it was dung at the time, and only after listening to Chen Jian's explanation did she understand, "Then he stood beside me, and then ...... Not at all impressed. ”

"You could have been killed by him. Chen Jian said.

"It must be so!" the madman nodded, "I didn't expect there to be such a dangerous person around us, why didn't you say it earlier, Rose?"

"I don't know, I'm just too lazy to say. ”

"It's really irresponsible. The madman glanced at Huang Waimian's corpse, "I thought he was honest." ”

"He's really honest, at least for a while. Chen Jian thought to himself whether Huang Aimian was completely dead, or had left purgatory.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: if only he had died.

His heart was beating fast, his face turned pale, and he understood what this sad thought meant—

He was already disgusted and tired, and he didn't care whether he was going to live or die next, but he was in a hurry to get rid of it.

In purgatory, you must not have such thoughts, otherwise you will sink completely.

Chen Jian secretly pinched the meat of his thighs, and his brain suddenly cleared up.

"Bai Yao, think about it carefully. ”

"Hmm. ”
