The fiery light crackled like raindrops on the earth, the blazing wind flickered and weakened, and it seemed that a raging fire would roll out of thin air at any moment, and the trees around them hung their heads dryly, stretching their branches with the last bit of strength, and although the fallen leaves were rustling, everything seemed to be silent, and they could not make any sound with their teeth and claws.
The drastic changes in the environment made Chen Jian unable to believe that this was a country of windbreaks.
"It's too hot! It's too hot!"
The madman stamped his feet in irritation, he wanted to be naked, but he had already suffered a great loss for the fact that the heat would eat away at the heat without clothing.
"It's much hotter than the last time I came...... Chen Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Bai Yao's clothes were also soaked with sweat, so that his eyes didn't know where to fall, in order to give himself something to do, he focused on thinking about the abnormality of the Wind Country.
The boulders and footprints of the giants that had not yet been hidden by the weeds and plants indicated that they had entered the Windbreak Country, but this time they did not see any giants, nor did they hear the giant's thick voice. The behemoths were gone, leaving no clues, and the only thing they knew was that the temperature in the Windbreak Country was still rising.
The surrounding scenery is distorted by the uneven heat waves, and it is as if it has been baked in a cloud fire, and it is completely breathless.
"Look here. Bai Yao beckoned everyone to a wood.
There was a pile of stuff wrapped in a hard shell where she fingered.
"It's guano!" said the madman.
Bai Yao gently peeled off the bird droppings, and there was still some wetness inside. "I didn't stay long. She fumbled in her pockets for the time disk, and suddenly remembered that it had been taken by the prisoners, and she didn't know where they were hiding.
"Estimated...... Two or three days. "She can only rely on her feelings.
"Huang Aimian, is this the feces of the Emperor?"
Huang Aimian heard Chen Jian ask, and showed a distressed smile: "My understanding of birds has not reached this level, besides, the chin rarely appears, it is a mysterious white-pupiled bird." ”
"Okay, don't say it. Chen Jian stopped him, "Anyway, there are birds here." Your previous speculation is probably correct - the birds make the temperature of the Wind Bowl rise, and the giant mistakenly thinks that the thunder drum can only cool down, so he asks us to go to the Yellow Emperor Mountain to find the thunder drum, the bird is difficult to get close to the Yellow Emperor Mountain, and when we leave the Yellow Emperor Mountain with the thunder drum, they can intercept it halfway to take the thunder drum. ”
The madman picked up on Chen Jian's words, and immediately asked, "According to what you say, what is the vulture going to the Yellow Emperor Mountain going to do? It is the bird that wants to steal the thunder drum, and it is not ready to intercept us at all, but directly invades the Yellow Emperor Mountain." ”
Chen Jian shook his head: "Although I haven't confronted the Bird Country head-on, I can feel that they are quite tricky and terrifying enemies. ”
"What the hell are you talking about?" puzzled the madman.
"The birds have prepared many plans to steal the thunder drums. Chen Jian said as he sorted out his thoughts, "You think, almost no one will come to the Wind Country, and the Wind Country is just one of the many baits laid by the Bird Country in the final analysis. Now that the Thunder Drum has been stolen, the Wind Guard Clan has no use value......"
Chen Jian said, a chilling thought slowly grew.
"Giants, maybe...... has been killed. Chen Jian looked around again.
There were only the footprints of giants, no voices, no figures. They had already circled the country of the windbreak, and there was no sign of the Great Migration in all directions, and the giants did not leave the mountain because of the unbearable heat, they simply disappeared and were eaten by the birds.
Is this possible? The last time I saw the giants there were at least thirty, how many birds would it take to digest them completely, and where did all that excrement go?
Chen Jian pondered this possibility, and the others scattered, following this line of thought to find physical evidence that could confirm this idea.
"Rose!" the madman yelled at him.
"What did you find?"
"Look at this. "Next to the madman was a low pillar.
"Isn't this just an ordinary pillar?" Chen Jian looked at the pillar suspiciously, "Is this some kind of mechanism?"
"It's not. The madman shook his head abruptly, "This is where I died last time." ”
"Last time you ...... Oh, that roll down the hill - no, you didn't hit a high pillar? How could it be. Chen Jian raised his right leg and stepped on the pillar.
This white jade pillar, which was not more than calf high, obviously could not be the same as that one.
"I just found out just now!" the madman saw that Chen Jian didn't react unexpectedly, and patted his chest very proudly and said, "Only people like me who observe themselves can find out, you are still too careless." ”
Chen Jian looked left and right, the relief of the giant driving the clouds on the top of the column was similar to the one he had seen before, but no matter the height or thickness, the one in front of him could not be compared with the previous one. He couldn't help but wonder if the madman's head was burned out.
He pointed to his head with concern and asked, "Are you normal?"
"Of course it's normal. The madman dragged Chen Jian's arm.
"What?"
"You have to lie down to understand. ”
Lie down?
Chen Jian immediately understood what the madman meant. The madman was lying under the stone pillar when he died, and he could recognize the white jade pillar that had smashed his head into it by looking up.
Is what the madman said true?
Chen Jian became serious.
"But why has this pillar become shorter......" he surveyed the pillar suspiciously.
There are no signs of being beaten at the top of the pillar, and it should not have been pressed into the earth by brute force.
"Could it be that the wind is blowing?"
"Oops!" the madman proudly raised his right foot and stomped hard, "It seems that your memory is not very good, but the memory of the meat mud is really not very good, I can understand, I can understand." ”
"Don't sell it. "It seems that the madman knows the answer.
Chen Jian frowned.
At this time, Bai Yao and Huang Aimian, who heard the movement here, also came over.
She thought that the madman was pulling Chen Jian to be lazy, so she asked in a reproachful tone, "What are you talking about?"
"You two are just in time!" the madman opened his arms, "and allow me to announce a major discovery!"
Chen Jian sighed helplessly.
A simple thing can be talked about for so long by the madman Rory, he may have a talent for oratory, if you think about it, he used to be a wizard, and that is exactly the profession that requires the use of rhetoric to disintegrate and seize the authority of the Son of Heaven, and talking nonsense and pretending are probably what he is best at.
"Here," he said, holding out his right hand and making a "please" gesture to his "tombstone," "it used to be a hillside." His right hand panned left and right, outlining the shape of the hillside.
Hillside...... Hillside?!
Chen Jian suddenly realized.
A few months ago, a madman rolled down a hillside and hit a post.
And now, the winding hillside is gone, and what makes people even more frightened is that the huge pothole that extends down the hillside has also disappeared - there were many giants standing in it at that time, and the scene of talking with Wang Zhili is still vivid.
Bai Yao looked at Chen Jian with a puzzled face: "What is the madman talking about?"
Only Chen Jian can best understand the meaning of the madman's words, and he often inadvertently becomes the translator of the madman.
"Maniac...... Are you sure it's the same root?"
"Dig it down and you'll know. The madman smiled strategically and rolled up his sleeves as he spoke—"It's hot!"
"Okay, the scar forgot the pain. Bai Yao muttered, "Rose, what are you talking about, why are you talking so inexplicably?"
Chen Jian bent down and began to dig the soil: "To put it simply, the land we stepped on was once a small basin that could accommodate giants. ”
He had already made it so clear that he was about to tell her the conclusion. Bai Yao immediately understood the meaning, she lowered her head, staring at the bare hard earth exposed to the heat wave, and countless eyes shot out from under the cracks in the cracked soil.
